Martinaxiom und die Beschreibung gewisser Homomorphismen in der Theorie der ℵ1-freien abelschen Gruppen

P(I) denotes the abelian group of integer-valuated functions defined on the set I, P_κ (I) its subgroup consisting of all elements, which support has size less than the infinite cardinal κ and Q_κ (I) the quotient P(I)/P_κ(I). We formulate a statement I(κ) in the following way: For an arbitrary set I you can lift every homomorphism from P (?) to Q_κ(I) to a homomorphism from P(?) to P(I). Using Martin's Axiom we show, that L(?) is independent of ZFC.     

Microwave spectrum and structure of cyanamide: Semirigid bender treatment

An extensive study of the microwave spectrum of cyanamide has been undertaken, the analysis being based in part on semirigidbender calculations by the methods of Bunker and Szalay. Inversion lines of NH₂CN, $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{?1}}\text{= 2}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{Q}$ branches and a number of vibrational satellites of the J = 2?1 transition were observed. A two-vibrational-state Hamiltonian was used to fit simultaneously the 0⁺ and 0^? microwave data and yielded rotational constants X, Y, Z, D_J, D_JK, d₁, H_JK as well as the inversion splitting and the μ_yz-connecting matrix element. Vibrational satellite data of seven isotopic species and infrared frequencies of NH₂CN were included in the semirigid bender calculations: The NCN spine is nonlinear by ca. 5° in the equilibrium structure of the molecule. Also, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>NH</mtext>}}\text{A}\text{?}\text{= 0.9994 + 0.0144?}{}^2$; <HNH/2 = 60.39° ? 0.1134?²; $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>NC</mtext>}}\text{A}\text{?}\text{= 1.3301 + 0.0327?}{}^2$ (? is the inversion angle in rad); $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>CN</mtext>}}\text{= 1.1645}\text{A}\text{?}$ fixed. The inclusion of the NC bond flexing was necessary in order to reproduce the observed vibrational satellite patterns of NH₂CN, NHDCN, and ND₂CN. The barrier to inversion of the amino group is 510 ± 6 cm^?1 with minima at ±45.0 ±0.2°. The inversion dipole moment is 0.91 ± 0.02 Debye.     

Luminescent crown ether amino acids: selective binding to N-terminal lysine in peptides

Crown ether amino acids (CEAAs) with a luminescent phthalic ester or phthalimide moiety have been prepared. Simple peptide chemistry covalently tethers the macrocycles to give ditopic ammonium-ion binders. The binding events of both crown ether groups are monitored independently by changes of their specific emission properties. The affinity of the bis-CEAA to bis-ammonium ions is distance dependent, which allows distinguishing between isomeric small peptides containing a lysine residue in different positions.
