Die Komplexe von Dioxocyan (OCN)2 mit TiCl4 und ZrCl4

Complexes of Dioxocyanogen (OCN)₂ with TiCl₄ and ZrCl₄ A solution of (OCN)₂ was obtained by reaction of AgOCN with Br₂ in H₂CCl₂ at ?70°C. From this the complexes TiCl₄(NCO)₂ and ZrCl₄(NCO)₂ were obtained by addition of equimolar amounts of TiCl₄ and ZrCl₄, respectively. According to the i.r. and Raman spectra, the (NCO)₂ ligand is bonded via its N atoms to the metal.     

Ultra-violet excited laser emission in Na2

Laser emission at different wavelengths in the range of 903–914 nm and around 2.5 m has been observed upon excitation of Na₂ by uv radiation from an excimer laser at 351 nm and an excimer pumped dye laser in this wavelength range. The emission is attributed to a cascade emission followed by . In addition, coupled with the laser emission around 910 nm, broad-band fluorescence peaking around 855.5 nm is observed which, eventually, may be the first observation of the bound-free transition in Na₂.     

Nitric oxide photorelease from ruthenium salen complexes in aqueous and organic solutions

The complexes [Ru(salen)(NO)Cl] and [Ru(salen)(NO)(H(2)O)](+) were shown to release the nitrosyl ligand as nitric oxide upon exposure to visible light in organic and aqueous solutions respectively, by means of UV-visible, EPR, and FTIR spectroscopies. The former was prepared by a new synthetic route and had its structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A crystal of the dichloromethane solvate is orthorhombic, space group Fdd2 (No. 43) and formula C(16)H(14)ClN(3)O(3)Ru.CH(2)Cl(2), with Z = 16 and cell parameters a = 25.489(4), b = 33.435(4), and c = 9.3716(9) A. The electronic absorption spectra of the complexes were calculated using the INDO/S method. The water-soluble complex is a potential drug for antitumoral phototreatment.     

Determination of manganese in ores by activation analysis using a californium-252 neutron source

A²⁵²Cf neutron source has been used to analyse manganese in ores such as pyrolusite, rodonite (manganese silicate) and blends used in dry-batteries. Samples with about 150 mg and standards of manganese dioxide were irradiated for about 20 min and counted using a well-type NaI(Tl) scintillation counter and scaler, with or without pulse-height discriminator between the detector and the scaler. The interferences of nuclear reactions⁵⁶Fe(n,p)⁵⁶Mn and⁵⁹Co(n,α)⁵⁶Mn were studied, as well as problems in connection with neutron shadowing during irradiation, gamma-rays attenuation during counting and influence of granulometry of samples. Some of the samples were also analysed by wet-chemical method (sodium bismuthate) in order to compare results.     

A bifunctional platinum(II) complex capable of intercalation and hydrogen-bonding interactions with DNA: binding studies and cytotoxicity

The interactions of [Pt(CNN)(4-dpt)]PF(6), (1; 4-dpt=2,4-diamino-6-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, HCNN=6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine) with double-stranded DNA, poly(dA-dT)(2), and poly(dG-dC)(2) were examined by spectroscopic, electrophoretic, and hydrodynamic methods. The spectroscopic data were analyzed with McGhee, van't Hoff, and Gibbs-Helmholtz equations. In a comparative study, [Pt(CNN)(py)]PF(6) (2; py=pyridine) was prepared and the nature of its binding towards DNA was investigated [preliminary results: ChemBioChem 2003, 4, 62-68]. For reactions with calf thymus DNA at 20 degrees C, the intrinsic binding constants for 1 and 2 are (4.6+/-0.2)x10(5) and (2.3+/-0.3)x10(4) mol(-1) dm(3), respectively. Results of DNA-binding reactions revealed that 1 and 2 preferentially bind to the AT sequence of duplex DNA. Intercalation is the preferred binding mode for 2, whereas both intercalation and minor-groove binding are observed for 1. Complex 1 is cytotoxic against a number of carcinoma cell lines, including KB-3-1, CNE-3, and HepG2, and remains potent against multidrug- or cisplatin-resistant KB-V-1 and CNE1 cell lines, for which the resistance ratios are 1.6 and 1.5, respectively. Importantly, 1 is almost an order of magnitude less toxic to the normal cell line CCD-19Lu (IC(50)=176+/-1.7 microM) and it selectively induced apoptosis leading to cancer cell death with less than 5 % detectable necrosis.     

The reactions of 2-benzoylpyridine with [RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3] and [(C6H6)RuCl2]2

The reactions of [RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃] and [(C₆H₆)RuCl₂]₂ with 2-benzoylpyridine have been examined, and two novel ruthenium(II) complexes – [RuCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂(C₅H₄NCOO)] and [RuCl₂(C₁₂H₉NO)₂] – have been obtained. The compounds have been studied by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The molecular orbital diagrams of the complexes have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method. The spin-allowed singlet–singlet electronic transitions of the compounds have been calculated with the time-dependent DFT method, and the UV–Vis spectra of the compounds have been discussed on this basis.     

Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed efficient synthesis of beta,beta-bis(indolyl) ketones by the double indolylation of acetic acid 2-methylene-3-oxobutyl ester

In the presence of 5 mol% Sc(OTf)3, double indolylation of acetic acid 2-methylene-3-oxo-butyl ester with differently substituted indoles readily afforded beta,beta-bis(indolyl) ketones. The reaction may proceed via a Sc(OTf)3-catalyzed SN2'-type substitution and subsequent conjugate addition.     

On states on the product of logics

We take up the question of when a state (= -additive measure) on the product of logics (=-orthomodular posets) depends on at most countably many coordinates. We show that it is always so provided there are no real-measurable cardinals. The manner of dependence is a kind of convex combination. We derive some consequences of the latter statement.     

Steric hindrance-controlled Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling-cyclization of 2,3-allenamides and organic iodides. An efficient synthesis of iminolactones and gamma-hydroxy-gamma-lactams

Under the catalysis of 1 mol % Pd(PPh3)4, the reaction of 4,4-disubstituted 2,3-allenamides and organic iodides in toluene afforded iminolactones stereospecifically in >90% yields using K2CO3 (2 equiv)-5 mol % TBAB as the base. A similar reaction with 4-monosubstituted 2,3-allenamides afforded gamma-hydroxy-gamma-lactams in relatively lower yields. The N/O-attack selectivity may be determined by the steric effect at the 4-position of 2,3-allenamides.

中药材重金属元素快速检测对污染监控及人们健康具有重要意义。激光诱导击穿光谱技术(Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, LIBS)属于一种快速检测方法,研磨压片等预处理方法相对样品消解已有所简化,但破坏了样品的物理性质,且不能满足中药材大宗品种、大批量检测需求。若进一步简化样品预处理,将更加凸显LIBS快速检测的优势。本文建立了激光诱导击穿光谱技术(LIBS)快速微损检测中药材样品重金属元素定标方法。线性相关系数R2为0.7764,建立的微损定标曲线线性可用于切片党参LIBS快速检测,对待测党参切片样品检测平均相对误差为3.74%,与电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)对比,相关系数R2为0.7957,验证了LIBS技术微损检测的可行性。制备的党参参考定标样品可多次重复用于待测样定标和仪器标定等。实验对待测党参样品仅进行切片处理,避免了研磨、压片等预处理,更加充分地体现LIBS快速检测的优势,为LIBS技术应用于中药材重金属元素快检等领域提供了一种新方法。
