Metallic conductivity and ferromagnetic interaction of iron(III) d spins in the needle crystals of (ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide)(2).FeBr(4) salt

The 2:1 charge-transfer (CT) salts (1(2).FeBr(4) and 1(2).GaBr(4)) of ethylenedithiotetrathiafulvalenoquinone-1,3-dithiolemethide (1) with FeBr(4)(-) and GaBr(4)(-) counteranions were obtained as needle crystals, whose structures are almost the same as each other. The 1 molecules form a one dimensionally stacked column with alternation of their molecular axis direction, while the counteranions are aligned in parallel with the 1-stacked columns with the direction of their distorted-tetrahedral geometry maintained. The room-temperature electrical conductivities measured on the single crystals of 1(2).FeBr(4) and 1(2).GaBr(4) were 4.6 and 2.1 S cm(-1), respectively. From the temperature dependences of their electrical conductivities in both cases the electrical conducting properties were metallic between ca. 170 and 300 K, but below ca. 170 K converted to be semiconducting and continued till 5 K, although the activation energies are very small (4-10 meV). For 1(2).FeBr(4) very weak and antiferromagnetic interaction occurred between the d spins of FeBr(4)(-) ions in the temperature range of ca. 1-300 K. However, below ca. 15 K the ferromagnetic interaction was reversely preferential possibly by participation of the pi spin of 1.     

Amphotericin B dimers with bisamide linkage bearing powerful membrane-permeabilizing activity

[structure: see text] Covalently linked dimers of amphotericin B were prepared by cross-linking its carboxylic acid. Among these, a dimer with a linkage of 1,6-hexanediamine revealed potent hemolytic activity (EC50, 0.25 microM) while its N-acetyl derivative gave rise to large K+ ion flux in phosphatidylcholine liposomes, regardless of the presence or absence of sterols, suggesting that the dimers may serve as a tool for elucidating the structure of the ion channel assemblage formed by amphotericin B.     

Molecular vibrations and force fields of alkyl sulfides: Part XV. C-S stretching vibrations of aliphatic alkyl sulfides

The C-S stretching vibrations of 28 aliphatic sulfides including one thiol are summarized, and all of the C-S stretching bands are classified into several groups. An extraordinarily low frequency associated with the ethyl group is discussed briefly.     

Tetrazolo-azido isomerization in heteroaromatics—IV : Reactions of tetrazolopolyazines with triphenylphosphine

Formation of iminophosphoranes from tetrazolopolyazines and triphenylphosphine has been studied kinetically in various solvents, and the mechanism explained as nucleophilic attack of the phosphine moiety on the trazolo ring. In the equilibrium system of tetrazolopolyazine (9) and azidopyrazine (9a) in chloroform, it is concluded that tetrazolo and azido moieties react competitively with triphenylphosphine. The mechanism of the reaction of tetrazolopolyazines with triphenylphosphine in chloroform is discussed on a phosphinium radical cation intermediate proposed.     

Further evidence for the intramolecular charge-transfer interaction between tropylium ion and remote benzene rings in 9,10-dihydro-9,10-(1,2-tropylio)anthracene tetrafluoroborate and its methyl derivatives

A series of 9,10-dihydro-9,10-(1,2-tropylio)anthracene tetrafluoroborates

has been prepared. The intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in

were confirmed by their UV spectra and pK_R+ values. As a model compound 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-(1,2-tropylio)naphthalene tetrafluoroborate ($\text{5}$)_was also examined.     

Studies on yellow and colourless molybdophosphate complexes in the aqueous solution by laser raman spectroscopy

Yellow and colourless complexes of molybdophosphate were investigated by the use of laser Raman spectroscopy. Two kinds of yellow molybdophosphates were identified in the weakly acidic solutions: 12-molybdophosphoric and 11-molybdophosphoric acid which are in equilibrium in solution at pH 1-2. When excess phosphate is present, the colourless molybdophosphate is formed. This complex exists in the solutions of pH 4-1 under the condition of excess phosphate ([P]/[Mo] > 2). This complex was confirmed to be P₂Mo₅O^6?₂₃ and is so stable that the yellow molybdophosphate is converted into the colourless by excess phosphate.
