Biphotonic ionization of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate in polar solvents

The photoionization of 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate in polar solvents occurs through a biphotonic process, as proved by nanosecond flash photolysis. A transient absorption of a charge transfer to solvent (CTTS) state is found with ≈10 ns life-time. The state is shown to be an intermediate of the photoionization process.     

Free boson realization of

We construct a realization of the quantum affine algebra of an arbitrary level k in terms of free boson fields. In the q1 limit this realization becomes the Wakimoto realization of. The screening currents and the vertex operators (primary fields) are also constructed; the former commutes with modulo total difference, and the latter creates the highest weight state from the vacuum state of the boson Fock space.fellow of Soryushi ShogakukaiAddress after June 1: Department of Physics, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Shinshu University, Matsumoto 390, Japan     

Dynamic dendrimer at electrified interface: potential dependent adsorption-desorption and reorientation of a 4-pyridyl-modified PAMAM dendrimer

Potential-dependent dynamic adsorption-desorption and reorientation of a 4-pyridyl modified PAMAM G2 dendrimer at a Au(111) electrode has been demonstrated.     

Structure elucidation of AK-toxins,host-specific phytotoxic metabolites produced by alternaria kikuchiana tanaka

The structures of two host-specific phytotoxic metabolites, AK-toxin I and II, isolated from culture broth of Alternaria kikuchiana Tanaka (the fungus causing black spot disease of Japanese pear) were determined to be the ester consisting of N-acetyl-β-methyl-phenylalanine and 9,10-epoxy-8-hydroxy-9-methyl-2E, 4Z, 6E-decatrienoic acid ($\text{1}$) and its β-demethyl derivative ($\text{2}$).
