Intramolecular photocycloaddition of cyclic thioimides as a method for heterocyclic synthesis

Cyclic thioimides undergo photocycloaddition with tethered pi-bonds in a regiospecific manner to afford spirocyclic amidothietanes. These highly strained multicycles undergo a subsequent ring opening reaction to furnish novel fused pyrrolizinones.     

Synthesis of silver molybdate clusters driven by laser-annealing

The synthesis of silver rich molybdate clusters is achieved by laser induced chemical reaction of coadsorbed MoO(3) and O(2) molecules on free silver clusters. The reactants MoO(3) and/or O(2) molecules condensed at low temperature (77 K-175 K) on free silver clusters. Then, the silver clusters together with their adsorbed molecules are flashed either ionized with a discharge or ionized and heated by a laser. Then they are cooled down by evaporation. The synthesized chemical compounds are analyzed by a high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometer. If only one type of reactant is adsorbed on the cluster, only one oxide molecule is stabilized on the metallic core after the heating and cooling cycle. On the contrary, the coadsorption of the two types of molecules MoO(3) and O(2) on Ag(n) (+), at 77 K, leads to complex aggregates that transform, after laser heating, into a molybdate rich metal clusters. These synthesized species cool down by evaporating silver atoms showing evidence of a binary oxide that is more stable than the metallic core. Moreover we demonstrate that for small size molybdate clusters, a stoichiometric composition may differ from the bulk one.     

Mixtures of charged colloid and neutral polymer: influence of electrostatic interactions on demixing and interfacial tension

The equilibrium phase behavior of a binary mixture of charged colloids and neutral, nonadsorbing polymers is studied within free-volume theory. A model mixture of charged hard-sphere macroions and ideal, coarse-grained, effective-sphere polymers is mapped first onto a binary hard-sphere mixture with nonadditive diameters and then onto an effective Asakura-Oosawa model [S. Asakura and F. Oosawa, J. Chem. Phys. 22, 1255 (1954)]. The effective model is defined by a single dimensionless parameter-the ratio of the polymer diameter to the effective colloid diameter. For high salt-to-counterion concentration ratios, a free-volume approximation for the free energy is used to compute the fluid phase diagram, which describes demixing into colloid-rich (liquid) and colloid-poor (vapor) phases. Increasing the range of electrostatic interactions shifts the demixing binodal toward higher polymer concentration, stabilizing the mixture. The enhanced stability is attributed to a weakening of polymer depletion-induced attraction between electrostatically repelling macroions. Comparison with predictions of density-functional theory reveals a corresponding increase in the liquid-vapor interfacial tension. The predicted trends in phase stability are consistent with observed behavior of protein-polysaccharide mixtures in food colloids.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Pyrrolpigmente, 31. Mitt.: Die Spin-Gitter-Relaxation in den1H-NMR-Spektren von Bilatrienen-abc

The¹H-NMR spin lattice relaxation times of aetiobiliverdin-IV- and biliverdindimethylester were determined using the inversion recovery technique. The relaxation times of protons attached to the terminal rings A and D are longer than those situated at the rings B and C which points to a higher mobility of rings A and D. Moreover these measurements allowed an independent assignment of the¹H-NMR-signals of the methyl groups of biliverdindimethylester.
