In Situ Correlations Between Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Pah Metabolizing System Activities in Mussels and Fish in the Mediterranean Sea: Preliminary Results

Abstract

Biochemical indices based on enzymatic activities have been determined in fish and mussels sampled in various different coastal locations in the Mediterranean Sea. Preliminary results show a good agreement between biochemical measurements in marine organisms and chemical analyses of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in sediments. The results obtained suggest the use of biochemical indices for application in chemical contaminant biomonitoring.     

The growth function of some free products of groups

We give some hypotheses under which it, is easy to compute the growth function of free products and HNN extensions.     

Hydrogen Migration and Reductive Elimination of Alkyne in Fe(CO)4 P(tBu) (C °CPh)H Induced by the Action of Co2 (CO)8

Abstract

One of the possible ways of getting phosphacumulene complexes could be the complexation of phosphinoalkynes, which might induce the migration of hydrogen from phosphorus to the β carbon of the alkynyl group.     

[HFe(CO)4 – A Versatile Reagent toward Dichlorophosphines,Phosphenium Salts,Phospha-alkenes and Diphosphenes

Abstract

A new entry to non classical phosphorus complexes is reported.     

Semi-classical limit of the Levy–Lieb functional in Density Functional Theory

In a recent work, Bindini and De Pascale have introduced a regularization of N-particle symmetric probabilities that preserves their one-particle marginals. In this short note, we extend their construction to mixed quantum fermionic states. This enables us to prove the convergence of the Levy–Lieb functional in Density Functional Theory, to the corresponding multi-marginal optimal transport in the semi-classical limit. Our result holds for mixed states of any particle number N, with or without spin.     

Alkoxyallene‐ynes: Selective Preparation of Bicyclo[5.3.0] Ring Systems Including a δ‐Alkoxy Cyclopentadienone

The development of an intramolecular rhodium(I)‐catalyzed Pauson–Khand reaction of alkoxyallene‐ynes with a proximal alkoxy group is reported. This reaction, in the presence of a [Rh(cycloocta‐1,5‐diene)Cl]₂/propane‐1,3‐diylbis(diphenylphosphane) system under a CO atmosphere, constitutes a powerful tool for selectively accessing carbo‐ and heterobicyclo[5.3.0] frameworks featuring an enol ether moiety. Through this procedure, a straightforward access to guaiane skeletons with a tertiary hydroxy group at the C10 position was achieved.
