Vibronic spectral behavior of molecules: XVIII. Theoretical contribution to the S1→S0 fluorescence of the isomeric phenyl naphthalenes within the Herzberg-Teller approach

Theoretical vibronic S₁S₀ line spectra of the isomeric phenyl naphthalenes calculated within the Condon as well as the Herzberg-Teller approaches on the basis of completely optimizedS ₀ andS ₁ molecular geometries, are presented and are contrasted with the experimental fluorescence spectra. The theory-experiment comparison is successful only within the Herzberg-Teller approximation by explicitly including the Dushinsky transformation. An analysis of the significant vibrational modes is given.

Heating of13 a, 14 a and14 b resp. with pyridin-HCl leads to the spiro compounds4 a, b.     

Über kondensierte Heterocyclen aus β-Isothiocyanatoketonen und Aminoalkoholen bzw. Diaminen

2- and 3-aminoalcohols, o-aminobenzylalcohol, o-hydroxybenzylamine and o-amino(thio)-phenol react with 4-isothiocyanato-4-methyl-2-pentanone (1) to yield derivatives of condensed heterocycles (oxazolopyrimidines7, pyrimidooxazine8, pyrimidobenzoxazines9, 10, pyrimidobenzoxazole11 a and pyrimidobenzothiazole11 c respectively). Ethylenediamine or 1,3-diaminopropane react with1 to yield either imidazo-pyrimidine13 and pyrimidopyrimidine14 respectively or the 1,2-ethylene- and trimethylenebisdihydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinethione15 a, b respectively, according to the molar ratio of the reactants. o-Phenylenediamine gives pyrimidobenzimidazole11 d. 11a undergoes ring cleavage in boiling dimethylformamide followed by methylpyrimidine-pyridine rearrangement to dihydrohydroxyphenylamino-2(1H)-pyridinethione12, while15 a is converted into the bis-4-(ethanediimino)-pyridinthione16.     

Analyse von Rutil-Anatas-Gemischen mittels diffuser Reflexionsmessungen

Zusammenfassung Pulvergemische von zwei verschiedenen Modifikationen eines Stoffes oder von zwei Pigmenten lassen sich mit Hilfe diffuser Reflexionsmessungen quantitativ analysieren, wenn die Reflexionsspektren sich in einem zugänglichen Spektralgebiet genügend stark unterscheiden. Die Methode wird am Beispiel der Titandioxyde Rutil und Anatas im einzelnen beschrieben.

Summary Mixtures of two modifications of solid powdered material can be quantitatively analyzed by diffuse reflectance measurements, if the reflectance spectra are sufficiently different in some wavelength range. The method is described with the example of the titanium dioxides rutile and anatase.

Two-stage Off-Gel isoelectric focusing: protein followed by peptide fractionation and application to proteome analysis of human plasma

This paper presents the recently introduced Off-Gel electrophoresis (OGE) technology as a versatile tool to reproducibly fractionate intact proteins and peptides into discrete liquid fractions. The coupling of two stages of OGE, i.e., the separation of intact proteins in a first-stage followed by fractionation of peptides derived from each protein fraction after proteolysis in a second stage, results in an array of 15 x 15 fractions that are directly amenable to additional peptide fractionation like reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPC). The analysis of all second-stage peptide fractions from only the first-stage protein fraction representing pH 5.0 -5.15 by on-line reverse-phase LC-tandem mass spectrometry resulted in the identification of 53 proteins (337 peptides), of which 10 were on different immunoglobulin (Ig) chains, with an input of only 1.5 mg human blood plasma proteins. Increasing the protein load to approximately 12 mg increased the number of identified proteins in the same protein fraction to 73 proteins (449 peptides), of which 15 were Ig-related. Immunodepletion of six of the most abundant proteins (albumin, transferrin, haptoglobin, IgG, IgA, and alpha-1-antitrypsin) prior to first-stage OGE with an input of 1.5 mg of protein (equivalent to approximately 10 mg nondepleted plasma) resulted in the identification of 81 proteins (660 peptides), of which three were still Ig fragments. The pI-based separation of peptides appears to be nonuniform based on the theoretically determined pI values of identified peptides. This observation specifically accounts for the neutral zone (pI 5-8) and can be accounted for by the physicochemical properties of the peptides given by their amino acid composition. The power of OGE separation of proteins and peptides is discussed with a focus on the use of the knowledge about the pI of proteins and peptides that assist the validation of correct identifications together with the retention time of peptides on RPC.     

Über 4-Alkylamino-bzw. 4-Arylamino-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinthione

Heating 1-alkyl- or 1-aryldihydro-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinethiones5, 6 in an inert medium causes rearrangement to 4-alkylamino-(4-arylamino-)-5,6-dihydro-2(1H)-pyridinethiones11, 12, probably via the methylene form29, by thermal heterolysis of the N₁/C₂ bond and exchange of the alkylamino (arylamino) group 1 through the carbon atom of the methylene group 6. The aminodihydropyridinethiones11, which can be regarded as cyclic derivatives of 3-aminothiocrotonamide, react with bistrichlorophenylmalonate under diacylation, and with formaldehyde and primary amines to yield aminodialkylation products of the enamine system, tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-7,7-dimethyl-5-thioxopyrido[4,3-b]pyridine-2(1H)-ones13, 14 and hexahydro-7,7-dimethylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5(6H)-thiones18, 19, 21 respectively. H₂O₂ converts11 to the corresponding 4-aminodihydro-2(1H)-pyridones22, which can be reconverted into11 with P₄S₁₀.11 reacts with alkyl halides to 2-alkylthiodihydropyridines23, 24, 25. The mechanism of the methylpyrimidine-pyridine rearrangement is discussed.     

Theoretical study on geometry and spectroscopic properties of 1,1′-binaphthyl in the electronic ground and first excited singlet states

Equilibrium geometries for the electronic ground and first excited singlet states of 1,1'-binaphthyl have been calculated by minimization of the total energy with respect to all internal coordinates. Using these results, an interpretation of the fluorescence S₁→ S₀ and absorption spectra S_m ← S₀ and S_n ← S₁ in rigid and fluid solutions is given.For the first time the equilibrium geometry of the first excited singlet state of 1, 1′-binaphthyl has been calculated. On excitation to the S₁ state the dihedral angle θ between the two naphthalene moieties is de- creased from 61 ° to 41 °. A detailed survey of CH bond lengths in the S₀ and S₁ states has been given. This result should be of particular importance for the theoretical treatment of radiationless transitions.Using equilibrium geometries for the S₀ and S₁ states a satisfactory interpretation of the S_m ← S₀ and S_n ← S₁ absorption spectra as well as of the fluorescence spectra in fluid and rigid solutions can be given. Concerning the S_n ← S₁ absorption spectrum in fluid solution, the calculations predict a strong absorption (A ← B transition) in the still uninvestigated region of energies lower than 11000 cm^?1.From the results of this paper and of other calculations it can be concluded that the Warshel-Karplus method yields reliable equilibrium geometries for electronic ground and excited states of unsaturated hydrocarbons [22,23].
