Magydardiendiol,diterpenoid with a new skeleton from magydaris panacifolia (umbelliferae).

Three new diterpenoids with a substituted α-cyclogeraniol skeleton have been isolated from the umbelliferae $\text{Magydaris panacifolia}$ (Vahl) Lange, for which the names of magydar-2,13-dien-11,17-diol, $\text{1}$, magydar-2,10 (20), 13-trien-17-ol, $\text{2}$, and magydar-2,10(20), 13-trien-17-yl acetate, $\text{3}$, are proposed. The structures of these substances have been deduced from spectroscopic and chemical data.     

Condensation metallosupramolecular polymers containing main-chain 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties

Methods of preparing diverse metallosupramolecular polymers containing 2,2′-bipyridine and 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties in main chains and their properties have been considered and analyzed. It has been shown that these polymers offer new possibilities for the design of materials possessing valuable specific characteristics.     

Tetrajodterephtalsäure-derivate als Röntgen-Kontrastmittel

New monoamides and diamides of tetraiodoterephthalic acid have been synthesized for evaluation as X-ray contrast agents. Solubility, toxicity, bilitropism, urotropism, and in some cases cholecystographic quality of these compounds are given.     

Synthesis of New Iron-Containing Carbon Cages by Reaction of C60 Fullerene with Ferrocene

Reaction of C₆₀ fullerene with ferrocene in the presence of aluminum chloride and aluminum in an inert atmosphere gave ferrocenyl-substituted fullerene 2C₆₀ ·1.5(C₅H₅)₂Fe ·3H₂O. The product is a thermally stable iron-containing carbon cage in which the intersphere cavity is formed by three C₆₀ polyhedra and is closed by cyclopentadienyl ligands via formation of four carbon-carbon bonds.     

Chemical instabilities during oxidation of 1,4-naphthalenediol in a homogeneous medium: II. Thermodynamic analysis and mathematical modeling

A possible mechanism of 1,4-naphthalenediol oxidation in the oscillatory regime has been considered, and a mathematical model describing the kinetics has been developed. Based on a thermodynamic Lyapunov function, it has been shown that the source of chemical instabilities is in the existence of autocatalytic steps and dynamic feedbacks. Qualitative analysis and numerical solution of the set of differential equations that model the reaction kinetics have been performed. The character of the stationary state and the possibility of bifurcations have been determined. The mathematical model satisfactorily describes the processes occurring in the system.
