Abnormal broadening in triplet-to-triplet absorption spectra caused by aromatic solvents

The triplet-triplet absorption spectra of a number of aromatic molecules were shown to be broadened in low temperature matrices formed by aromatic solvents (toluene, 4-isopropylbiphenyl) as compared with those in aliphatic solvents (ethanol, methylcyclohexane, triethylamine). The effect is exponentially dependent on the energy of the upper triplet state of the solute molecule. The phenomenon is discussed in terms of a strong exchange-resonance interaction between the triplet states of solute and solvent.     

Molecular diversity management strategies for building and enhancement of diverse and focused lead discovery compound screening collections

This publication describes processes for the selection of chemical compounds for the building of a high-throughput screening (HTS) collection for drug discovery, using the currently implemented process in the Discovery Technologies Unit of the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel Switzerland as reference. More generally, the currently existing compound acquisition models and practices are discussed. Our informatics, chemistry and biology-driven compound selection consists of two steps: 1) The individual compounds are filtered and grouped into three priority classes on the basis of their individual structural properties. Substructure filters are used to eliminate or penalize compounds based on unwanted structural properties. The similarity of the structures to reference ligands of the main proven druggable target families is computed, and drug-similar compounds are prioritized for the following diversity analysis. 2) The compounds are compared to the archive compounds and a diversity analysis is performed. This is done separately for the prioritized, regular and penalized compounds with increasingly stringent dissimilarity criterion. The process includes collecting vendor catalogues and monitoring the availability of samples together with the selection and purchase decision points. The development of a corporate vendor catalogue database is described. In addition to the selection methods on a per single molecule basis, selection criteria for scaffold and combinatorial chemistry projects in collaboration with compound vendors are discussed.     

A physico-chemical study of iron-chromium-molybdenum catalysts

In the study of the Fe_1–xCr_xMo_1·5O₆ system by X-ray, IR and Mössbauer methods the formation of solid state substitution solutions has been detected, which possess similar catalytic properties in methanol oxidation.

Research in the field of unsaturated derivatives of azoles. 11. Reaction of benzimh)azole-2-thione with 1,2,3-tribromopropane

In the interaction of benzimidazole-2-thione with 1, 2, 3-tribromopropane under conditions of interfacial catalysis in an alkaline medium, 2-(2-bromo-2-propenylthio)benzimidazole is formed; debromination of this compound affords 3-methylthiazolo[3,2-a]benzimidazole, which is subsequently converted as a result of thermolysis to 2-propadienylthio)benzimidazole.For communication 10, see [1].Rostov State University, Rostov-on-Dan 344090.

Mechanical properties and molecular mobility in oriented polyolefines

The static modulus of elasticity (E) and the correlation time of rotation ( _c ) of 2,-2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl are studied as a function of the temperature (210<T <350°K) for oriented films of isotactic polypropylene and polyethylene of high and low density.E and _c change both upon heating and polymer orientation; this result indicates that sample properties are influenced by the microstructure of the amorphous phase where probes are localized.     

Character of the stressed state of fcc metal single crystal and the resistance to dislocation glide from secondary systems attracted by dislocations

Stresses in secondary glide systems are taken into account in calculations of the strength of dislocation combinations in an fcc crystal with deformation axis oriented in [010], [¯111], and [¯10¯1] directions. The coefficient characterizing the contribution of the reacting component of the dislocation forest to the yield stress is studied as a function of the dislocation densityp.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 48–54, November, 1978.

Luminescent properties of PP and LDPE films and rods doped with the Eu(III)‐La(III) complex

The work is devoted to luminescent properties of trivalent lanthanide complexes dispersed in thermoplastic host matrices. Polyethylene films and polypropylene‐rods, both doped with these complexes, were manufactured using an extrusion technique. Two kinds of dopants were used: Eu(III)‐thenoyltrifluoroacetone‐1,10‐phenanthroline complex (1) and Eu(III)‐La(III)‐1,10‐phenanthroline complex (2). Absorption, excitation, emission spectra and lifetime of luminescence were studied. The impact of the polymer matrix on the emission spectra was investigated. Emission spectra of the films were studied at room and helium temperatures. Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS) surface mapping showed that in the Eu(III)‐La(III) complex europium forms islands (clusters) with a dimension of 1 µm, whereas lanthanum was dispersed more uniformly in the polymer matrix. Dependence of emission intensity on the excitation was determined. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
