Wellposedness for the Navier–Stokes flow in the exterior of a rotating obstacle

In this paper we study the Navier–Stokes boundary‐initial value problem in the exterior of a rotating obstacle, in two and three spatial dimensions. We prove the local in time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions. Moreover, we show that the solutions are global in time, in two spatial dimensions.

V4S9Br4: a novel high-spin vanadium cluster thiobromide with square-planar metal core

The novel vanadium thiobromide, V4S9Br4, with a square-planar metal cluster core was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, measurements of magnetic properties and the heat capacity, and DFT calculations of the electronic structure. At the room temperature, the compound displays paramagnetic properties with an independent spin on each V atom and with a weak exchange constant (J approximately 10 cm(-1)). The paramagnetic state is transformed into a low-spin state (AF-type ordering) at low temperatures. This change is accompanied by a heat-capacity anomaly. The observed magnetic and heat-capacity anomalies can be explained by the thermal excitation of electrons on the closely spaced molecular energy levels in the presence of the Jahn-Teller effect.     

Formation of a Tc(III)-adenosine diphosphate complex

A⁹⁹Tc-ADP complex was prepared when KTcO₄ was reduced in aquous medium by SnCl₂, Na₂S₂O₄, NaBH₄ or Zn in the presence of ADP in excess. The resulting solution was studied by chromatography and spectrophotometry. Electrochemical reduction and substitution on [Tc^III(tu)₆]³⁺ were investigated as alternative synthetic routes. The anionic Tc-ADP complex was isolated as a solid. Cerimetric titrations confirmed the oxidation state +3 for the central atom. IR and¹H-NMR data showed that the purine base is bonded to the Tc central atom but not the ribose moiety. No oxo groups seemed to be directly bonded to the Tc atom. The complex is rather stable in neutral solutions. However, it decomposes to pertechnetate and TcO₂ at extreme pH values.     

Ferromagnetic coupling through spin polarization in the hexanuclear [MnII(3)CuII(3)] complex

A novel Cu(II)-Mn(II) hexanuclear complex of formula [[MnCuL](3)(tma)](ClO(4))(3).8H(2)O [H(2)L = macrocyclic Robson proligand; H(3)tma = trimesic acid] has been obtained by connecting three heterobinuclear [Cu(II)Mn(II)L](2+) cationic species through the trimesate anion. The complex exhibits a C(3) rotational symmetry, imposed by the geometry of the bridging ligand. The interaction within each Mn(II)-Cu(II) pair is antiferromagnetic (J = -16.7 cm(-1)). A weak ferromagnetic coupling among the three S = 2 resulting spins through the tricarboxylato bridge leads to a S = 6 ground spin state, for which the spin polarization mechanism is responsible.     

Exact spin-pairing energies at the crossovers in octahedral d 4, d 5, d 6, and d 7 transition metal complexes

Exact spin-pairing energies are calculated by direct diagonalization of the relevant ligand field plus interelectronic repulsion matrices for the configurations d ⁴, d ⁵, d ⁶, and d ⁷ of octahedral transition metal ions. The results are presented in terms of /B as function of = C/B for the range of values =3.0 to 8.0. Comparison with the quantity resulting from a simplified approach in which configuration interaction is neglected or considered on an approximate basis only reveals significant differences. Useful estimates of spin-pairing energies are provided, in addition, on the basis of empirical magnetic and electronic spectral data.

Zusammenfassung Exakte Spinpaarungsenergien für die Konfigurationen d ⁴, d ⁵, d ⁶ und d ⁷ oktaedrischer Übergangsmetallionen werden durch direkte Diagonalisierung der entsprechenden Matrizen des Ligandenfeldes sowie der Elektronenwechselwirkung berechnet. Die Ergebnisse für /B werden in Abhängigkeit von = C/B für den Wertebereich =3.0 bis 8.0 angegeben. Ein Vergleich mit der Größe , die bei einer vereinfachten Behandlung unter Vernachlässigung oder näherungsweiser Berücksichtigung der Konfigurationswechselwirkung erhalten wird, zeigt auffallende Unterschiede. Nützliche Abschätzungen der Spinpaarungsenergie werden außerdem unter Benutzung empirischer magnetischer und elektronenspektroskopischer Daten erhalten.

Methylene-azaphosphirane as a reactive intermediate

Reaction of the transient phosphinidene complexes R-P=W(CO)5 with N-substituted-diphenylketenimines leads unexpectedly to the novel 2-aminophosphindoles, as confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure determined for one of the derivatives. Experimental evidence for a methylene-azaphosphirane intermediate was found by using the iron-complexed phosphinidene iPr2N-P=Fe(CO)4, which affords the 2-aminophosphindole together with the novel methylene-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[1,3]azaphosphole. Analysis of the reaction pathways with DFT indicates that the initially formed methylene-azaphosphirane yields both phosphorus heterocycles by way of a [1,5]- or [1,3]-sigmatropic shift, respectively, followed by a H-shift. Strain underlies both rearrangements, which causes these remarkably selective conversions that can be tuned by changing the substituents.     

Radiometric and fluorimetric determination of aminosilanes and protein covalently bound to thermally pretreated glass substrates

Derivatization of solid soda-lime glass spheres with aminosilanes and the stability of these groups near physiological pH in flow streams of aqueous buffered solutions are described. The presence of immobilized and adsorbed amines in the nanomolar range is confirmed by using two independent methods, one based on a radiotracer and the other on the fluorescent marker, fluorescamine. A method for covalently attaching bovine serum albumin to the beads is described.     

Pfropfcopolymerisation von Cellulose mit zwei Vinylmonomeren

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Beschreibung von Experimenten dar, die die Erhöhung der Pfropfbereitschaft von trägen Komponenten durch Beimischung von aktiveren zum Ziele hatten.Das Trägermolekül war in allen Fällen Cellulose in Form von hochgradig gereinigtem Zellstoff. Durch die Verwendung von Mischsystemen aus Styrol und Methylmethacrylat gelang es, das trägere Styrol in bedeutend größerer Menge auf die Cellulose aufzupfropfen, als es bei Abwesenheit des aktiven Methylmethacrylats der Fall war.

Grafting Polymerization of Cellulose with Two Vinyl Monomers

This paper describes experiments to increase the grafting of cellulose with components of poor reactivity by mixing them with highly reactive ones. A highly purified wood pulp was used as backbone. Using combinations of styrene and methyl methacrylate it was possible to graft considerably higher amounts of the poorly reacting styrene than in the absence of the highly reactive methyl methacrylate.
