Electron exchange chemiluminescence from a sterically stabilized cyclobutadiene-1,2-dioxetane

The rather stable 1,2-dioxetanes ($\text{2}$) and ($\text{3}$), derived from the sterically stabilized cyclobutadiene ($\text{1}$), exhibit distinct enhanced chemiluminescence behavior, namely energy transfer chemiluminescence (ETC) for ($\text{2}$) and electron exchange chemiluminescence (EEC) for ($\text{3}$).     

Synthese stereoisomerer Pinanthromboxane und Evaluation der Verbindungen als Plättchenaggregationsinhibitoren

Synthesis of Stereisomeric Pinanthromboxane Derivatives and Evaluation of the Compounds as Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors Starting from the two enantiomeric myrtenols ((?)- 1 and (+)- 1 ; cf. Scheme 1), the synthesis of twelve stereoisomeric pinanthromboxane derivatives ((+)- and (?)- 10, -11, -14, -15, -21 and -22 ) is described (cf. Schemes 1–4). Biological data from the evaluation as platelet aggregation inhibitors (cf. Table 6 and 7), thromboxane synthetase inhibitors (cf. Table 8) and from the assessment as antagonists of leukotriene E₄ induced bronchoconstriction (cf. Table 9) are presented.     

SiO2 surface defect centers studied by AES

A theoretical model is proposed on how a Si dangling bond associated with an oxygen vacancy on a SiO₂ surface (E_s′ center) should be observed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The Auger electron distribution N_A(E) for the L₂₃VV transition band is calculated for a stoichiometric SiO₂ surface, and for a SiO_x surface containing Si-(e^?O₃) coordinations. The latter is characterized by an additional L₂₃VD transition band, where D is the energy level of the unpaired electron e^?. The theoretical N_A(E) spectra are compared with experimental N(E) spectra for a pristine, and for an electron radiation damaged quartz surface. Agreement with the theoretical model is obtained if D is assumed to lie ≈2 eV below the conduction band edge. This result shows that AES is uniquely useful in revealing the absolute energy level of localized, occupied surface defect states. As the L₂₃VD transition band (main peak at 86 eV) cannot unambiguously be distinguished from a SiSi₄ coordination L₂₃VV spectrum (main peak at 88 eV), supporting evidence is presented as to why we exclude a SiSi₄ coordination for our particular experimental example. Application of the Si-(e^?O₃) model to the interpretation of SiO₂Si interface Auger spectra is also discussed.
