Search for resonances in 12C(9Be, α)17O

Excitation functions at 7° (lab) have been measured from E_c.m. = 5.1 to 11.4 MeV in approximately 114 keV steps for 15 groups of final states in ¹⁷O populated by the ¹²C(⁹Be, α) reaction. Statistical tests have been used to locate possible non-statistical structure in the excitation functions. Possible anomalies were found near E_c.m. = 6.3, 7.5, 8.9 and 9.7 MeV. Angular distributions were measured at E_c.m. = 9.20, 9.71 and 10.23 MeV for the three lowest excited states in ¹⁷O. The data have been compared with Hauser-Feshbach calculations in addition to the following reaction mechanisms: compound plus a single resonance, compound plus interfering resonances and compound plus direct reactions.     

The infrared spectra (500-150 CM−1) of the complexes cis- and trans-[Pt(pyridine)2X2] (X = Cl,Br, I,SCN)

The IR spectra of cis- and trans-[Pt(pyridine)₂X₂] (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) are discussed. Distinction between the vPt—N and vPt—X bands is based on their relative sensitivities to ¹⁵N-labelling and deuteration of the pyridine ring, to halogen substitution and to ¹⁵NCS-labelling. Two vPt—N and two vPt—X bands are observed in the cis-complexes as required for C_2v symmetry. The D_2h symmetry of the trans-complexes requires one vPt-N and one vPt—X band but additional bands are observed and are ascribed to coupling between vPt—N and vPt—X.     

6-Azabicyclo[3.1.0]hex-30-en-2-ol Derivative,photochemically generated building blocks for bicyclic β-lactams

The title compounds 4 are obtained by photolysis of simple N-alkylpyridinium salts in H₂O or alcohol. On reaction with [Fe₂(CO)₉] in THF, 4 gives bicyclic tricarbonyliron complexes 13a – d , which on oxidative decomplexation with ceric ammonium nitrate afford cis-fused cyclopenteno-β-lactams 15a – d .     

Theoretical studies of peptidic structures. Environmental effects

Summary The peptide Asp-Glu-Arg-Ser has been studied using the software package maPSI, with simulation of the pH conditions and the influence of the solvent. It is concluded, in agreement with the experimental observation, that in solution DERS is distorted from a true -turn conformation, without H-bond but stabilized by a weak salt-bridge between the side chains of the Glu and Arg residues.Dedicated to Professor Alberte Pullman     

The chelation ofo-nitrosopyrimidinols. I

Summary A spectrophotometric study has been made on the iron-2,6-diamino-5-nitroso-4-pyrimidinol reaction. The study shows that the reaction ratio is 4 to 1 reagent to iron(II). The blue complex has an absorption maximum at 653 nm and a molar absorptivity of 2.0·10⁴ l.mole^–1.cm^–1.
