Zur entmischung der Lösungsmittel bei der chromatographischen trennung—v: Sorption von fliessmitteldämpfen an cellulose

The sorption of solvent vapours onto dried cellulose has been investigated. The time-dependence and the effect of the solvent-water ratio is discussed. The studies concerned the properties of methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol.     

Heterotricyclodecane IX. 2, 7-Dioxa-isotwistan, 2, 7-Dioxatwistan und 2, 8-Dioxa-homotwistbrendan sowie Derivate

The synthesis of 2, 7-dioxa-isotwistane ( 10 ), 2, 7-dioxa-twistane ( 17 ), and 2, 8-dioxa-homotwistbrendane ( 36 ) and several of their derivatives is described starting from endo-2-hydroxy-9-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]non-6-ene ( 1 ). The 10^O(7)-isotwistane iodide 7 and the corresponding tosylate 15 as well as the 10^O(2)-iodide 9 were treated under reaction conditions suitable for molecular rearrangements involving oxonium ions g and i , respectively, by neighbouring group participation leading to 2, 7-dioxa-twistanes and 2, 8-dioxa-homotwistbrendanes, respectively.     

Peptide late-stage C(sp3)–H arylation by native asparagine assistance without exogenous directing groups

There is a strong demand for novel native peptide motifs for post-synthetic modifications of peptides without pre-installation and subsequent removal of directing groups. Herein, we report an efficient method for peptide late-stage C(sp³)–H arylations assisted by the unmodified side chain of asparagine (Asn) without any exogenous directing group. Thereby, site-selective arylations of C(sp³)–H bonds at the N-terminus of di-, tri-, and tetrapeptides have been achieved. Likewise, we have constructed a key building block for accessing agouti-related protein (AGRP) active loop analogues in a concise manner.

An efficient method for peptide late-stage C(sp³)-H arylations assisted by unmodified side chain of asparagine (Asn) without any exogenous directing group has been reported.     

Production of fast evaporation residues by the reaction20Ne+208Pb at projectile energies of 8.6, 11.4 and 14.9 A.MeV

Velocity distributions and production cross sections of evaporation residues have been measured in the reaction²⁰Ne+²⁰⁸Pb at projectile energies of 8.6, 11.4, 14.9 A.MeV. Essential deviations from statistical model of deexcitation have been observed. Monte Carlo simulations involving emission of non-equilibrium particles have been used in order to reproduce experimental velocity, charge and mass distributions of evaporation residues and to estimate indirectly multiplicities of pre-equilibrium particles.

Reactivity and structure of the 5-dehydro-m-xylylene anion

The electronic structure of dehydro-m-xylylene anion (DMX-) has been investigated by using chemical reactivity studies and electronic structure calculations. DMX- has been generated in the gas phase via the sequential reaction of trimethyl-3,5-bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)phenylsilane with F- and two molecules of F2. Reactivity and thermochemical properties of the ion indicate a phenyl-like anion (1a), consistent with theoretical predictions. Density functional calculations predict a nonplanar triplet anion, with an allenic singlet anion slightly higher in energy. The driving force for the out-of-plane distortion is more efficient charge delocalization that is achieved at lower symmetry.     

Spectrophotometric examination of redox equilibria by use of logarithmic transformations

For the spectrophotometric characterization of redox reactions, a logarithmic transformation is proposed by which it is possible to analyse indirectly the functions E = f (pH) and E = f (C) derived from experimental data. Besides the mechanism of the reaction the equilibrium constant can also be calculated. The method is generally usable for equimolar redox systems and also for non-equimolar ones if a single equilibrium exists in the range under examination. References to the evaluation are given and the practicability is demonstrated with the system Fe(3+)/SO(2-)(3).     

Analysis of thermal behaviour of high power semiconductor laser arrays by means of the finite element method (FEM)

New results of steady-state two-dimensional finite-element computations of temperature distributions of high power semiconductor laser arrays are presented. The influence of different thermal loads on the 2D temperature distribution in AlGaAs/GaAs gain-guided laser arrays is investigated. TheFEM model is tested by comparing it with analytical solutions. For numerical convenience, the latter is rewritten in a novel form, which is free of overflow problems. The maximum temperatures calculated by both methods agree within 1%. Several factors determining the thermal resistance of the device are quantitatively examined: the ratio of light emitting to non-emitting areas along the active zone, the amount of Joule losses, the current spreading, the solder thickness, and voids in the solder. This yields design rules for optimum thermal performance.     

Pentacarbonyltungsten complexes of cis- and trans-Azoiscopropane. Azo ligand geometry effects on the formation and properties of organometallic complexes

A pair of azo ligand complexes W(CO)₅L (L = cis- or trans-azoisopropane) are reported in which ligand geometry is the only structural difference. The properties and particularly the difference in dynamical behavior of the complexes is disccused.
