A new solid-phase polymerization—metal phthalocyanine sheet polymers

The thermal reactions of pure metal(11) 4,4′,4″,4′″-phthalocyanine-tetracarboxylic acids of copper, cobalt, and nickel at 350–400°C in vacuum have been studied using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, gas chromatography, and mass spectrometry. Based on these observations, novel in situ reactions for the synthesis of heat-resistant phthalocyanine “sheet” polymers are described. The poly(metal phthalocyanine) polymers of copper, cobalt, and nickel so synthesized have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic thermogravimetric analysis. The most noteworthy property of these polymers is their extreme resistance to heat in an anaerobic atmosphere and their high char yields (89–93%) at 800°C in a nitrogen atmosphere.     

Double-layer effects on simple electrode reactions III. The reduction of Eu3+ and Cr3+ in the presence of thiocyanate anions. Evidence for ligand bridging

The rates of reduction of Eu³⁺ and Cr³⁺ have been measured in mixed perchlorate + thiocyanate electrolytes at constant ionic strength, using low concentrations of thiocyanate to minimize its association with the cationic reactants. The effect of adsorbed thiocyanate anions on the reduction kinetics of Cr³⁺ resembled those produced by iodide and bromide on both Cr³⁺ and Eu³⁺. However, thiocyanate exhibited an unusual catalytic effect on the reduction of Eu³⁺ which was identified as arising from a reaction pathway involving thiocyanate-bridging between the mercury surface and the Eu³⁺. The diagnostic criteria used to support the proposed mechanism included analysis of the rate—potential behavior and of the effects of competitively adsorbed iodide ions upon the reduction rates.     

Preparation and chain extension of C100dicarboxylic acid

The selective degradation of polyethylene crystals with fuming nitric acid has been used to prepare a C₁₀₀ chain with terminal functional groups. After treating this product with concentrated sulphuric acid, it is shown by average molecular weight, titration and infra-red spectroscopy measurements that each molecule contains two carboxylic acid groups. This C₁₀₀ dicarboxylic acid is chain extended with several low molecular weight difunctional coupling agents. Block copolymers of this acid and poly(propylene glycol) have been prepared.     

PHOTOREACTIVATING ENZYME FROM NEUROSPORA CRASSA*

Abstract— Extracts of Neurospora crassa contain photoreactivating enzyme by the criteria of ability to split thymine-containing dimers and to increase the transforming ability of u.v.-irradiated Hemophilus influenzae DNA. The latter activity is heat-labile and is destroyed by trypsin. The action spectrum of such in vitro photoreactivation is a simple one (with a single maximum at 405 nm in the range 313 to 436 nm), differing from the more complicated in vitro spectra for yeast and Escherichia coli. However, the in vitro Neurospora spectrum coincides closely with the in vivo spectrum for this organism, suggesting that there is little or no “indirect” photoreactivation in Neurospora. It is concluded that the Neurospora photoreactivating enzyme is probably of a different type than those of yeast and Escherichia coli.     

Extraction properties of octaethyltetraamidopyrophosphate (OETAPP)

The extraction of uranium was studied in the system of 0.1 M OETAPP in CHCl₃/HCl or HNO₃. The distribution coefficients of HCl and HNO₃ were calculated as a function of OETAPP concentration. The amount of OETAPP in the aqueous phase containing HCl and HNO₃ was found from the measurements of surface tension of this phase. The distribution of HCl and HNO₃ between an organic and aqueous phase was studied as a function of the concentration in the aqueous phase of the acid in question. The solvation energy of the extracted complexes was calculated on the basis of the measured potential differences. The cohesion and adhesion energies of the studied systems are given as well.     

Comparison of the structural and chemical composition of giant T-even phage heads.

A study has been made of the structure of the capsids of T4D giant phage produced from mutants in gene 23 and temperature-sensitive mutants in gene 24, and T4D and T2L giant phage formed by the addition of L-canavanine followed by an Larginine chase in the growth medium. All the giant phage capsids have been shown to be built according to the same geometrical architecture. This consists of a near-hexagonal surface net, lattice constant 129.5 A, folded into a left-handed T = 13 prolate icosahedron elongated along one of its fivefold symmetry axes. Their only apparent difference from wild-type T-even phage capsids is their abnormally elongated tubular part. A comparison of the capsomere morphologies and protein compositions of the giant phage capsids showed that all T4D giants are identical but differ from T2L: The T4D capsomere has a complex (6 + 6 + 1)-type morphology, whereas the T2L has a simple 6-type. T2L phage, however, lack two capsid proteins, "soc" and "hoc", present in T4D. The difference in capsomere morphology can therefore be related to the difference in the protein compositions of these two phage. Possible differences between the initiation and means of length regulation of giant phage heads and the aberrant polyheads are discussed.     

Some difficulties in the application of the concept of density of states

The problem of defining N(E), the density of states, for molecular systems is discussed. It is shown that a numeric evaluation of N(E) is often only approximate, even for continuous data, and is not well defined for quantized systems. The application of the concept of density of states is discussed, particularly with regard to the RRKM theory of unimolecular reactions. The sum of states, W(E), and density of states curves are evaluated for several harmonic and anharmonic model systems and the results discussed in order to illustrate the foregoing considerations.

Analysis of the monophenolic fraction of tobacco smoke condensates by a combination of chromatographic methods

Summary Monophenols are separated from tobacco smoke condensates by thin-layer chromatography on Kieselgel G using a 31 mixture of cyclohexane and ethylacetate. The monophenolic fraction is recovered from the support and analyzed by GC on a capillary column. The yield is 80±2% for 3,4,5 trimethylphenol and 65% for 2,3,5 trimethylphenol. The concentration determined for phenol, (para+meta) cresol and 2,6 dimethylphenol are 8,3 and 0.5 g per mg of condensate respectively. Numerous other alkyl phenols have been identified.

     

Total synthesis of indole and dihydroindole alkaloids. VII. The total synthesis of isovelbanamine, velbanamine, cleavamine, 18beta-carbomethoxycleavamine and catharanthine.

A synthesis of a variety of nine-membered ring intermediates in the cleavaminevelbanamine series is described. The formation of the penultimate intermediate involves a fragmentation reaction in which the cleavamine system is generated from an appropriate rigid pentacyclic Iboga alkaloid derivative. Thus dihydrocatharanthinol tosylate (VIII) on reaction with triethylamine in refluxing benzene undergoes fragmentation to the 5, 18-seco-diene X. This latter substance is then elaborated in various ways to the desired compounds.
