Synthesis of imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides related to inosine

Several imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine nucleosides which are structurally similar to inosine were synthesized. Anhydrous stannic chloride-catalyzed condensation of persilylated imidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazin-4(5H)one (1) and imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 16 ) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 3 ) provided (after sodium methoxide deblocking) 6-β-D-ribo furanosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one (5) and 3,6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyI)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4-one ( 7 ); and 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine-4,7(5H,6H)dione ( 19 ) and 1,5 or 6-di-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d ]pyridazine-4,7(5H or 6H)dione ( 21 ), respeeitvely. 4,7-Diehloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]pyridazine ( 12 ) and dimethyl 1-β-D-ribofuranosylimidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ( 26 ), both prepared from stannic chloride-catalyzed ribosylations of the corresponding heterocycles, were converted in several steps to 3-β-D-ribo-furanosy limidazo[4,5-d]pyridazin-4(5H)one ( 14 ) and nucleosidc 19 , respectively. Acid-catalyzed isopropylidenation of mesomeric betaine 7 or nuclcoside 14 provided 3-(2,3-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazo[4,5-d]pyrizin-4(5H)one ( 31 ). 1-β-D-Ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-d]-pyridazine ( 29 ) was obtained in several steps from nueleoside 12 . The structure of the nucleosides was established by the use of carbon-13 and proton nmr.

Diazotization of 9 and subsequent in situ hydroxydediazotization afforded nucleosidc 11 .     

Comparative investigation on non-IPR C68 and IPR C78 fullerenes encaging Sc3N molecules

A computational study on the experimentally detected Sc(3)N@C(68) cluster is reported, involving quantum chemical analysis at the B3LYP/6-31G level. Extensive computations were carried out on the pure C(68) cage which does not conform with the isolated pentagon rule (IPR). The two maximally stable C(68) isomers were selected as initial Sc(3)N@C(68) cage structures. Full geometry optimization leads to a confirmation of an earlier assessment of the Sc(3)N@C(68) equilibrium geometry (Nature 2000, 408, 427), namely an eclipsed arrangement of Sc(3)N in the C(68) 6140 frame, where each Sc atom interacts with one pentagon pair. From a variety of theoretical procedures, a D(3h) structure is proposed for the free Sc(3)N molecule. Encapsulated into the C(68) enclosure, this unit is strongly stabilized with respect to rotation within the cage. The complexation energy of Sc(3)N@C(68) cage is found to be in the order of that determined for Sc(3)N@C(80) and exceeding the complexation energy of Sc(3)N@C(78). The cage-core interaction is investigated in terms of electron transfer from the encapsulated trimetallic cluster to the fullerene as well as hybridization between these two subsystems. The stabilization mechanism of Sc(3)N@C(68) is seen to be analogous to that operative in Sc(3)N@C(78). For both cages, C(68) and C(78), inclusion of Sc(3)N induces aromaticity of the cluster as a whole.     

Analytical contributions to the evaluation of painting authenticity from Princely church of Curtea de Arges

The present study contains the analyses performed for pigment samples taken from the Princely church of Curtea de Arges, one of the oldest churches in Romania. The results of our investigations have shown the source of these samples, thus being identified the pigments: natural ultramarine, cinnabar, red earth, and calcium carbonate in the painting from the 14th century, the pigments: lead white, zinc white, and Prussian blue in the repainting from the 19th century and the pigments zinc white, titanium dioxide white, bone white, yellow ochre, red ochre, green earth, artificial ultramarine, and mars red in the interventions carried out in the 20th century. The analyses consisted of light microscopy (LM) and microchemical tests, as well as energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. This system of analyses allows one to precisely determine the authenticity of certain pigments, thus avoiding the dating errors for different interventions carried out on the original mural painting from the Saint Nicholas Princely church of Curtea de Arges.

Vibrational analyses of silacyclopentanes

The complete infrared and Raman spectra of 1,1-difluoro-1-silacyclopentane and 1,1-dichloro-1-silacyclopentane have been recorded and analyzed. Furthermore, a number of the vibrational frequencies of the silacyclopentane and silacyclopentane-1, 1-d₂ molecules have been reassigned.A normal coordinate calculation for each of these molecules was carried out and this demonstrated the validity of the assignments. Considerable mixing of the modes was found especially where ring vibrations and SiX₂ motions were involved.

Luminescent properties of PP and LDPE films and rods doped with the Eu(III)‐La(III) complex

The work is devoted to luminescent properties of trivalent lanthanide complexes dispersed in thermoplastic host matrices. Polyethylene films and polypropylene‐rods, both doped with these complexes, were manufactured using an extrusion technique. Two kinds of dopants were used: Eu(III)‐thenoyltrifluoroacetone‐1,10‐phenanthroline complex (1) and Eu(III)‐La(III)‐1,10‐phenanthroline complex (2). Absorption, excitation, emission spectra and lifetime of luminescence were studied. The impact of the polymer matrix on the emission spectra was investigated. Emission spectra of the films were studied at room and helium temperatures. Time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS) surface mapping showed that in the Eu(III)‐La(III) complex europium forms islands (clusters) with a dimension of 1 µm, whereas lanthanum was dispersed more uniformly in the polymer matrix. Dependence of emission intensity on the excitation was determined. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis and characterization of well-defined poly(methyl methacrylate)/CaCO3/SiO2 three-component composite particles via reverse atom transfer radical polymerization

The attempt to prepare structurally well-defined polymer/inorganic composite particles, i.e., poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/CaCO₃/SiO₂ three-component composite particles, via reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), using 2-2′-azo-bis-isobutyronitrile as initiator and Cu(II) bromide as catalyst was reported. CaCO₃/SiO₂ two-component composite particles were first obtained through sol–gel method, and their morphology and surface element information were determined by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicate that the CaCO₃ was encapsulated by the obtained SiO₂. After being modified by silane coupling agent, the CaCO₃/SiO₂ composite particles copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) under standard reverse ATRP conditions to produce PMMA/CaCO₃/SiO₂ three-component composite particles. In the case concerned, first-order kinetic plots and linear increase of molecular weight (Mn) vs conversion and narrow molecular weight distribution for the graft polymer samples were observed. Furthermore, the gel permeation chromatography results illustrated that both the free PMMA chains from the solvent and the graft PMMA chains from the surface of CaCO₃/SiO₂ two-component composite particles were growing at the same rate. Characterizations of the PMMA-grafted CaCO₃/SiO₂ composite particles were done by Fourier transform infrared and thermogravimetric analysis. The results showed that the surface of the modified inorganic particles was grafted by the MMA and that the grafting percentage was about 8.7%.
