Nuclear hyperfine coupling interactions in the rotational spectra of the linear and bent isomers of HF-N2O

The rotational spectra of six isotopomers of the linear and bent isomers of HF-N₂O have been collected in the 7-18 GHz region with a Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. The nuclear hyperfine structure in the spectra produced by HF spin-spin coupling interaction and nuclear quadrupole coupling interactions due to the D nucleus of DF and the nuclei of N₂O have been resolved and analyzed. In the linear isomer, H in HF is bonded to the terminal N in N₂O. The NF bond lengths are 2.9808(2) Å for the HF-containing isotopomers and 2.9732(2) Å for the DF-containing isotopomers. The zero point angles are 23.1° for HF and 31-34° for N₂O. The hyperfine constants suggest that the HF bond is lengthened by 0.0105 Å upon complexation and that the electric field gradients of the two nitrogen nuclei in N₂O are perturbed differently in the complex. In the bent isomer, the hydrogen bond is formed between HF and O in N₂O. The intermolecular distances are 3.4942(2) Å for the HF-containing isotopomers and 3.4436(2) Å for the DF-containing isotopomers, with HF and N₂O forming angles of 34° and 46°, respectively, with the intermolecular axis. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of the two nitrogen nuclei do not indicate electric field gradient perturbation in this isomer.     

Measurement of the proton spin structure function g1(x,Q2) for Q2 from 0.15 to 1.6 GeV2 with CLAS

Double-polarization asymmetries for inclusive ep scattering were measured at Jefferson Lab using 2.6 and 4.3 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons incident on a longitudinally polarized NH3 target in the CLAS detector. The polarized structure function g(1)(x,Q2) was extracted throughout the nucleon resonance region and into the deep inelastic regime, for Q(2)=0.15-1.64 GeV2. The contributions to the first moment Gamma(1)(Q2)= integral g(1)(x,Q2) dx were determined up to Q(2)=1.2 GeV2. Using a parametrization for g(1) in the unmeasured low x regions, the complete first moment was estimated over this Q2 region. A rapid change in Gamma(1) is observed for Q2<1 GeV2, with a sign change near Q(2)=0.3 GeV2, indicating dominant contributions from the resonance region. At Q(2)=1.2 GeV2 our data are below the perturbative QCD evolved scaling value.     

The ep -->e'p eta reaction at and above the S11(1535) baryon resonance

New cross sections for the reaction e p-->e p eta are reported for total center of mass energy W = 1.5--1.86 GeV and invariant momentum transfer Q2 = 0.25--1.5 (GeV/c)(2). This large kinematic range allows extraction of important new information about response functions, photocouplings, and eta N coupling strengths of baryon resonances. Newly observed structure at W approximately 1.65 GeV is shown to come from interference between S and P waves and can be interpreted with known resonances. Improved values are derived for the photon coupling amplitude for the S11(1535) resonance.     

An Experimental Evidence of a Metal−Metal Bond in μ‐Carbonylhexacarbonyl[μ‐(5‐oxofuran‐2(5H)‐ylidene‐κC,κC)]‐dicobalt(Co−Co)[Co2(CO)6(μ‐CO)(μ‐C4O2H2)]

The orthorhombic crystal structure of [Co₂(CO)₆(μ‐CO)(μ‐C₄O₂H₂)] ( 1 ) was determined at 150 K (Fig. 1). Two C−H⋅⋅⋅O bonds connect the molecules, forming waving ribbons along the b axis. The experimental electron density, determined with the aspherical‐atom formalism, was analyzed with the topological theory of molecular structure. The presence of the Co−Co bond critical point indicates for the first time the existence of a metal−metal bond in a system with bridged ligands. The bond critical properties of the intramolecular bonds and of the intermolecular interactions show features similar to those found in [Mn₂(CO)₁₀], confirming our previously established bonding classification for organometallic and coordination compounds.     

Homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of free carboxylic acids in the presence of cluster ruthenium carbonyl hydrides

Saturated monocarboxylic acids up to C₆, several bicarboxylic acids and some of the corresponding anhydrides are hydrogenated in the homogeneous phase with H₄Ru₄(CO)₈(PBu₃)₄ as catalyst to give the corresponding alcohols (present among the reaction products as esters) or lactones at 100–200°C under a pressure of 100–200 atm of hydrogen. Anhydrides react at temperatures lower than those needed for acids. Esters are not reduced. Only δ-valerolactone is hydrogenated to 1,5-pentanediol. Ruthenium carbonyl carboxylates have been recovered at the end of the reaction and appear to be catalytically active intermediates.     

Extension of the 2-p-opt and 1-shift algorithms to the heterogeneous probabilistic traveling salesman problem

The probabilistic traveling salesman problem is a well known problem that is quite challenging to solve. It involves finding the tour with the lowest expected cost for customers that will require a visit with a given probability. There are several proposed algorithms for the homogeneous version of the problem, where all customers have identical probability of being realized. From the literature, the most successful approaches involve local search procedures, with the most famous being the 2-p-opt and 1-shift procedures proposed by Bertsimas [D.J. Bertsimas, L. Howell, Further results on the probabilistic traveling salesman problem, European Journal of Operational Research 65 (1) (1993) 68–95]. Recently, however, evidence has emerged that indicates the equations offered for these procedures are not correct, and even when corrected, the translation to the heterogeneous version of the problem is not simple. In this paper we extend the analysis and correction to the heterogeneous case. We derive new expressions for computing the cost of 2-p-opt and 1-shift local search moves, and we show that the neighborhood of a solution may be explored in O(n²) time, the same as for the homogeneous case, instead of O(n³) as first reported in the literature.     

The Mediterranean aromatic plants and their culinary use.

Over the centuries, aromatic plants have acquired both practical relevance and socio-cultural meanings that have influenced the evolution of humanity itself and created relevant economic value. In fact, since a long time ago spices were promoted to a leading economic role, and their profitability has been often comparable to that of other commodities traded in much larger volumes. Many geographical discoveries, explorations, worldwide relationships between populations in different continents, were undertaken in order to meet the quest for new flavours, new tastes, new medicinal plants or to find new markets for those already known. While the use of plants in medicine offers an extensive written documentation produced by most ancient human civilizations, the same can not be said for food herbs and flavouring spices. However, without the adequate selection of edible, reliable and valuable plants from the whole biodiversity pool operated by folk cultures everywhere in the world, their proper combination would have never been elaborated and cuisines, like the Mediterranean ones, would have not attained such unique mix of flavour, taste and nutrient content that has no equal in the world. Therefore, any consideration on herbs and aromatic plants in the kitchen leads inequivocally to a journey into tradition.
