Phase equilibria in the system FeVO4-WO3 in the solid state

The DTA and X-ray powder diffraction imply the following equilibria in the system FeVO₄-WO₃ up to the solidus line: from 550 to 650–670°C, the system components remain inert towards each other in the whole concentration range; above 670°C, at up to 66.67 mol% of WO₃. FeVO₄ and FeVW₂O₁₀ are in equilibrium, whereas from 66.67 mol% of WO₃ upwards FeVW₂O₁₀ and WO₃ are in equilibrium.

Aldimines of 5-aminouracil as reagents in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction

Abstract  

The condensation of 5-aminouracil with aromatic aldehydes gave the appropriate C-arylimines, which were used in [2+3] cycloaddition with nitrile oxides derived from 4-substituted benzaldoximes. As a result of the dipolar cycloaddition reaction several hitherto unknown 5-(3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-4(5H)-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones have been obtained in satisfactory yields.     

Well-Posed and Ill-Posed Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, an optimal control problem with variable parameters and variable initial data is considered for some systems of ordinary differential equations. On the basis of variational methods, some sufficient conditions, under which the optimal processes depend continuously on the initial data and parameters of the system, are proved.     

Conformal fields and the stability of leaves with constant higher order mean curvature

In this paper, we study hypersurfaces with constant rth mean curvature Sr. We investigate the stability of such hypersurfaces in the case when they are leaves of a codimension one foliation. We also generalize recent results by Barros and Sousa, concerning conformal fields, to an arbitrary manifold. Using this we show that normal component of a Killing field is an rth Jacobi field of a hypersurface with Sr+1 constant. Finally, we study relations between rth Jacobi fields and vector fields preserving a foliation.     

Lipophilicity profiling of anthracycline antibiotics by microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography–effects on cardiotoxicity and endotheliotoxicity

Accurate profiling of the lipophilicity of amphoteric compounds might be complex and laborious. In the present work the lipophilicity of 12 anthracycline antibiotics–four parent drugs: doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epidoxorubicin, and epidaunorubicin and eight novel formamidyne derivatives with attached morpholine, hexamethylenoimine or piperidine rings–was determined based on novel approach using MEEKC. In the second stage, lipophilicity was correlated with anthracycline toxicity towards two cell lines. In rat cardiomyoblast cell line (h9c2) a significant correlation between the logP and toxicity was found. The anthracycline lipophilicity was not correlated with toxicity towards the endothelial hybrid cell line (EAhy.926). In conclusion, the lipophilicity of anthracyclines seems to determine their toxicity towards cardiomyoblasts but not on endothelial cells, suggesting a different mechanism of anthracyclines intercellular transport or extrusion in cardiomyoblast and endothelial cells.

Short but Weak: The Z-DNA Lone-Pair⋅⋅⋅π Conundrum Challenges Standard Carbon Van der Waals Radii

Current interest in lone-pair⋅⋅⋅π (lp⋅⋅⋅π) interactions is gaining momentum in biochemistry and (supramolecular) chemistry. However, the physicochemical origin of the exceptionally short (ca. 2.8 Å) oxygen-to-nucleobase plane distances observed in prototypical Z-DNA CpG steps remains unclear. High-level quantum mechanical calculations, including SAPT2+3 interaction energy decompositions, demonstrate that lp⋅⋅⋅π contacts do not result from n→π* orbital overlaps but from weak dispersion and electrostatic interactions combined with stereochemical effects imposed by the locally strained structural context. They also suggest that the carbon van der Waals (vdW) radii, originally derived for sp³ carbons, should not be used for smaller sp² carbons attached to electron-withdrawing groups. Using a more adapted carbon vdW radius results in these lp⋅⋅⋅π contacts being no longer of the sub-vdW type. These findings challenge the whole lp⋅⋅⋅π concept that refers to elusive orbital interactions that fail to explain short interatomic contact distances.     

Study of the solid solution of MoO3 in Fe2V4O13

Differential thermal and phase X-ray analyses have shown that MoO₃ and Fe₂V₄O₁₃ form a solid substitution solution, in which Mo⁶⁺ ions are incorporate into the crystal lattice of Fe₂V₄O₁₃ in place of V⁵⁺ ions. The solubility limit of MoO₃ in Fe₂V₄O₁₃ at ambient temperature is 18 mole % of MoO₃. The phase equilibria in the system Fe₂V₄O₁₃-FeVMoO₇, were also studied. Results are presented in the form of a phase diagram.

Heterogeneous azide–alkyne cycloaddition in the presence of a copper catalyst supported on an ionic liquid polymer/silica hybrid material

Heterogeneous copper catalysts were prepared by the deposition of CuI on a hybrid material consisting of silica and a polymer with imidazolium moieties. The solid materials were characterised using solid‐phase NMR, Fourier transform infrared, Raman and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopies and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurements. The formation of copper–carbene complexes was proved from Raman spectra and the results were supported by density functional theory calculations. The catalyst could be recycled efficiently with low loss of copper. Metal leaching was proved to be facilitated by the use of conditions typical for a homogeneous system (the presence of a polar solvent or the addition of a tertiary amine). Besides simple model reactions, the best catalyst was found to be suitable for the synthesis of triazoles of more elaborate structure, such as ferrocene or steroid derivatives.
