A Novel Preprocessing Algorithm for Three-Way HPLC Data

Orthogonal signal correction (OSC) was a data preprocessing algorithm. It ensured that the filtered information was irrelevant to concentration data while using it to filter the noise from the original data. This paper extended the OSC application range from two-way data to three-way data. Two drug data sets, Enoxacin, Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin and Betamethasone, cortisone acetate, prednisone acetate, showed that the application of the OSC algorithm to three-way HPLC data was feasible and needed further research.

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of a new nitronyl nitroxide NIT2-bithph and its manganese(II) compound [Mn(hfac)2(IMHBithph)]2·(NIT2-bithph)(C6H14)

A new nitronyl nitroxide NIT2-bithph (1) and its manganese(II) compound [Mn(hfac)₂(IMHBithph)]₂·(NIT2-bithph)(C₆H₁₄) (2) (hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NIT2-bithph = 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(bithiophenal-2-yl)imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide; IMHBithph = 1-hydroxy-2-bithiophenal-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro- 1H-imidazole) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. The units of compound 1 were connected as one-dimensional chain by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds which afford an intermolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between nitronyl nitroxide radicals within the chain (J = −1.89 cm⁻¹). Compound 2 resulting from the reaction of Mn(hfac)₂·2H₂O and NIT2-bithph is dinuclear and includes the reduced amidino-oxide form of NIT2-bithph, it is made up of three parts: a [Mn(hfac)₂(IMHBithph)]₂ dimer unit, an uncoordinated NIT2-bithph radical and a noncoordinated solvent molecule of hexane, the molecule of radical is hydrogen bonded to its reduced form. Two reduced IMHBithph ligands bridge the two manganese(II) ions through their amidino-oxide oxygen atoms resulting in a small intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction between the manganese ions (J = −1.55 cm⁻¹).

Chiral conflict. The effect of temperature on the helical sense of a polymer controlled by the competition between structurally different enantiomers: from dilute solution to the lyotropic liquid crystal state

Helical polymers appended with paired structurally different enantiomers, which have opposing helical sense preferences, yield a new kind of relationship between optical activity and temperature, and also reveal unusual details of the nature of chiral interactions. Consistent with a statistical physical theory developed for these experiments, the proportion of the competing chiral groups, determined by synthesis, fixes the compensation temperature at which the helical senses are equally populated. The lyotropic liquid crystal state formed by these polymers yields therefore a nematic state at any chosen temperature over a very wide range, with a cholesteric state arising with tightening pitch as temperature deviates from this point. Far from the nematic temperature, the pitch reaches the nanometer scale and therefore the reflection of visible light. Before crossing zero at the nematic temperature, the optical activity becomes so large that it may be observed with the unaided eye through crossed polarizers.     

Rate of reactions between D2O and CaxAlyOz

The rate of the reaction between D₂O and the calcium aluminum oxides Ca₃Al₂O₆, Ca₅Al₆O₁₄, CaAl₂O₄, and CaAl₄O₇ was investigated by on-line neutron diffraction powder methods at temperatures from room temperature to 100°C. The rate of the reaction increases with increasing calcium content of the compounds and with increasing temperature for each of the compounds. The crystallographic stable hydrate Ca₃Al₂(OD)₁₂ is obtained from CaAl₄O₇ and CaAl₂O₄ at temperatures above 63°C, from Ca₅Al₆O₁₄ at temperatures above 49°C, and from Ca₃Al₂O₆ at temperatures as low as 7°C.     

The polysaccharide extracts from the fungi Coprinus comatus and Coprinellus truncorum do exhibit AChE inhibitory activity

The polysaccharide (PSH) extracts from the edible mushroom species Coprinus comatus and Coprinellus truncorum were screened in liquid for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory (AChE) activity. Both extracts were found to display inhibition of the aforementioned enzyme reaching similar IC₅₀ values of 0.62 ± 0.07 and 0.61 ± 0.03 mg/mL, respectively. According to the means of FTIR spectroscopy, these PSH extracts mostly contained β-glucans. However, the presence of some proteins and polyphenolics as minor ingredients were also detected. Compared with existing literature data for anti-AChE activity of the sugar samples, the findings within this study may be treated as a profound bioactivity. Consequently, this study puts some light on the possible use of the screened macrofungi in the palliative treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.     

The research on the high quality TiO2, MoO3-doped WO3 electrochromic film

The high quality TiO2, MoO3-doped WO3 electrochromic film was prepared by the sol–gel method for the first time. The sol, which has hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxalic acid (H2C2O4), was very stable at room temperature and quite suitable for the deposition of films. The WO3 electrochromic film prepared from this doped sol had excellent performance, such as short response time, no cracks, good adhesion to the substrate, high coloring efficiency and longevity of service.     

Regioselective cyclomanganation of Schiff bases. An unexpected effect of chloro substituents

In this paper we describe the synthesis of new metallacycles by the cyclomanganation reaction of benzyl-benzylidene-amines by using [MnMe(CO)₅] as metallating agent. These ligands can undergo metallation on different aromatic carbon atoms but no important differences have been found in the regioselectivity of the process, that can be related to the electronic effect of the substituents, and in all the cases studied the endo-cyclomanganated complexes of para-substituted imines have been obtained. The corresponding exo-metallacycles were obtained by reaction of [MnMe(CO)₅] on the imine 2,6-Cl₂C₆H₃CHNCH₂Ph and 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂CHNCH₂Ph, derived from 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde, respectively.The results described suggest that the mechanism of the cyclomanganation is similar to that of cyclopalladation and it can be proposed that cyclomanganation takes place by the formation of a four-centered transition state, involving the C-H and Mn-C_acetyl bonds, in the acetyl coordination complex formed in the first step of the reaction.
