Molecular intercalates

The paper deals with the relations between host lattices and guest molecules. Several types of interaction of the guest molecules and the host material are explained and some conclusions are made about the arrangement of various guest molecules in the van der Waals' gap.

Theory and applications of ion-selective electrodes Part III

This review of ion-selective electrodes is arranged in the same way as Parts I and II. The continuous growth of the whole subject should be noted. Theory has particularly progressed through mechanistic studies. Among new types of electrodes, ISFET systems have become important. Among new applications of both solid and liquid membrane electrodes, the fluoride electrode still predominates, closely followed by potassium electrodes. In the field of biological and medical applications, the steady growth is significant. More than 800 papers published between mid-1976 and the end of 1978 are mentioned in the review.     

Novel fragmentation of N-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl dipeptides and tripeptides by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry

Positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of N-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl dipeptides and tripeptides showed a novel cleavage pattern in that only the N-phosphoryl fragment ions gave intense peaks while the C-terminal series of ions was suppressed. The base peak was the N-phosphoryl imino ion responding to the N-terminal residue. These advantages are superior to those of other types of N-protecting groups.     

A Novel Catalyst for Liquid Phase Hydrogenation of m-Dinitrobenzene to m-Phenylenediamine

A novel lanthana-promoted nickel catalyst supported on silica for the liquid phase hydrogenation of m-dinitrobenzene to m-phenylenediamine was prepared by an incipient wetness sequential impregnation method. It was found that Ni-La/SiO2 catalyst exhibited high activity and stability for m-dinitrobenzene hydrogenation. Over this catalyst, the conversion of m-dinitrobenzene and the yield of m-phenylenediamine were up to 97.1% and 93.5%, respectively,at 373 K and 2.6 MPa hydrogen pressure after reaction for 1 h.     

Fluorescence and aggregation behavior of poly(amidoamine) dendrimers peripherally modified with aromatic chromophores: the effect of dendritic architectures

PAMAM dendrimers of the zeroth to fifth generation (G0-5) have been peripherally modified with phenyl, naphthyl, pyrenyl, and dansyl chromophores. Their fluorescence behaviors are strongly affected by the dendritic architectures at different generations. These dendrimers modified with hydrophobic chromphores can self-organize into vesicular aggregates at the low generations G0-3 in water. The size and aggregation number of these vesicles decrease with increasing generation from G0 to G3. Critical aggregation concentration determined by fluorescence spectroscopy reveals that these aggregates can be favorably formed in the order of G3 > G2 > G1. In contrast to the vesicles made from traditional amphiphilic compounds, these dendrimer-based vesicles are very adhesive due to the H-bonding interaction and entanglement of dendritic branches located in the outer layer. A large number of multivesicle assemblies, i.e., "twins" and "quins" consisting of two and five vesicles, were clearly identifiable with transmission electron (TEM) and atomic force microscopy. For the dendrimers with peripheral pyrenyl chromophores, triangle-like vesicles were observed in water. The hydrophobic interphase thickness of the vesicular bilayer is ca. 2.0-3.2 nm determined by fluorescence resonance energy transfer methods, which agrees well with the thickness directly observed with TEM.
