Bestimmung des elektrischen Kernquadrupolmomentes des ungeraden stabilen Strontium-87-Kerns

In order to determine the electric quadrupole moment of Sr⁸⁷ (I= 9/2) the hyperfine structure-splitting of the 5s5p ³ P ₁-state of the SrI-spectra was investigated by optical double resonance. By detection of high frequency transitions (ΔF=±1,Δm _F=0,±1) in an external magnetic fieldH ₀≈0 one obtains the hyperfine structure separations asv _F=11/2?F=9/2=1463·149 (6) Mc/sec andv _F=9/2?F=7/2=1130·264 (6) Mc/sec. From these frequencies one calculates the magnetic hyperfine structure-splitting constantA=?260·084 (2) Mc/sec and the electric quadrupole interaction constantB=?35·658 (6) Mc/sec. B leads to an electric quadrupole moment ofQ(Sr⁸⁷)=+0·36 (3)·10^?24 cm².     

Zum Franklin—Schneiderschen Satz

In this note we shall carry on further the simultaneous approximation of a, b and exp(bloga). In a recent paper BUNDSCHUH [2] proved a theorem which appears to be a sharpening of a theorem of SCHNEIDER [10]. But there is an error in the proof. We shall show, that under a supplementary condition, the theorem of BUNDSCHUH remains valid and as well, get an improvement to this theorem. We further give some results on linear forms in logarithms of two U-numbers with algebraic coefficients.     

Ground state spectroscopic constants of H15NCS,HN13CS,and HNC34S,and the molecular structure of isothiocyanic acid

The rotational spectrum of isothiocyanic acid was measured for the isotopically enriched species H¹⁵NCS and HN¹³CS as well as HNC³⁴S in natural abundance. In the frequency range from 8 to 240 GHz the a-type R-branch transitions were measured for all three isotopic species. The ^qQ₁ transitions were identified in the microwave region for H¹⁵NCS and HN¹³CS. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were determined using Watson's Hamiltonian in the S reduction, extended empirically to higher order terms in the angular momentum. The molecular structure of isothiocyanic acid was reevaluated using a modified substitution method and the NCS chain was found to be bent: $\text{r(}\text{NH}\text{) = 0.993}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{r(}\text{NC}\text{) = 1.207}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{r(}\text{CS}\text{) = 1.5665}\text{A}\text{?}$, ∠HNC = 131.7°, and ∠NCS = 173.8°. The molecule has the trans conformation.     

Projection-Based Local and Global Lipschitz Moduli of the Optimal Value in Linear Programming

Ligand-based combinatorial design of selective purinergic receptor (A2A) antagonists using self-organizing maps

A virtual screening procedure based on a topological pharmacophore similarity metric and self-organizing maps (SOM) was developed and applied to optimizing combinatorial products functioning as P(1) purinergic receptor antagonists. The target was the human A(2A) receptor. A SOM was developed using a set of biologically tested molecules to establish a preliminary structure-activity relationship. A combinatorial library design was performed by projecting virtually assembled new molecules onto the SOM. A small focused library of 17 selected combinatorial products was synthesized and tested. On average, the designed structures yielded a 3-fold smaller binding constant ( approximately 33 vs approximately 100 nM) and 3.5-fold higher selectivity (50 vs 14) than the initial library. The most selective compound obtained revealed a 121-fold relative selectivity for A(2A) with K(i) (A(2A)) = 2.4 nM, and K(i) (A(1)) = 292 nM. This result demonstrates that it was possible to design a small, activity-enriched focused library with an improved property profile using the SOM virtual screening approach. The strategy might be particularly useful in projects in which structure-based design cannot be applied because of a lack of receptor structure information, for example, in the many projects aiming at finding new GPCR modulators.     

Novel Urea-Siloxane Polymers as Gelling Agents for Silicone Fluids: Influence of the Hard Segment

A series of polyureas were synthesized from amino terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers, diamine comonomers, and various diisocyanates. These polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The gelation behavior in silicone fluids such as dimethylcyclosiloxanes was investigated. The influence of the structure of the hard segment on the gelation properties was evaluated.     

Zur Synthese und Struktur von 8-Nitro-imidazo [1,2-a]pyridinen

Summary The title compounds were synthesized by reaction of nitroketene aminals with -chlorovinylcarbonyl compounds. The chloromethylene malononitriles1 react with nitromethylenimidazolin (2 a) and -benzimidazoles2 b to yield the 8-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines3 and the 4-nitropyrido[1,2-a]-benzimidazoles6, both containing an amino group. Analogously, from the special 3-chloro-2-propeniminium salt7 and2 a the imidazopyridine derivative9 was formed. The 3-aryl-3-chloro-2-propeniminium salts10 were converted into the nitro-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyridines11 and the pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole12 containing the aryl group by reaction with2 a and2 b, respectively. The structures were investigated by 2-dimensional¹H/¹³C-NMR-spectroscopy.

Absorption spectrum of deuterated hydrazoic acid, DN3 in the microwave and millimeterwave regiont

Thirty b-type P, Q and R branch rotational transitions and nineteen a-type Q and R branch transitions have been detected and measured for the slightly asymmetric rotor molecule D¹⁴N₃ in the frequency range from 8 to 340 GHz. The information obtained from the analysis of the observed frequencies are greatly improved values of the K-dependent parameters A_O = 344746.589(64) MHz, and D_K = 92.242(33) MHz, refined values for the rotational constants B_O and C_O, a complete set of quartic centrifugal distortion constants and several sextic distortion constants. Both a and b components of the electric dipole moment were determined giving a total dipole moment of μ = 1.76(5) debye.
