Dual nature of Ricci scalar and creation of spinless particles

Manifestation of Ricci scalar like a matter field as well as a geometrical field, at high energy, has been noted earlier [9]. Here, its interaction with another scalar field is considered in four-dimensional curved space-time. This interaction leads to the production of a large number of pairs of spinless particle-antiparticle due to expansion of the early universe in the vacuum state (provided by temperature dependent Coleman-Weinberg like potential for Ricci field), where spontaneous symmetry breaking takes place.

Interactive vortex shedding from a pair of circular cylinders in a transverse arrangement

Interactive vortex shedding in the multiply connected domain formed by a pair of circular cylinders is analysed by the FEM–FDM blending technique. The vorticity–streamfunction formulation is used to solve the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations at Re = 100, with the time-dependent wall streamfunctions determined from the pressure constraint condition and the far-field streamfunctions from the integral series formula developed earlier by the authors. The standard Galerkin finite element method is used in the relatively small FEM subdomain and the finite difference method based on the general co-ordinate system in the rest of the flow domain. Symmetric, antisymmetric and asymmetric wake patterns are obtained confirming the earlier experimental findings. The bistable nature of the asymmetric vortex shedding as well as the intermittent drifting from one status to the other between symmetric and antisymmetric wake patterns are reported.     

Enantioselective organocatalytic conjugate addition of α-nitroacetate to α,β-unsaturated ketones in water

The catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition reaction of α-nitroacetate to α,β-unsaturated ketones promoted by chiral bifunctional organocatalysts is described. The treatment of α-nitroacetate to α,β-unsaturated ketones under aqueous-phase reaction conditions afforded the corresponding Michael adducts with high enantioselectivity. The conjugate addition adducts are easily converted to chiral δ-keto nitroalkanes and δ-keto esters.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,spectral and electrochemical characterization,DNA binding and free radical scavenging studies of ferrocene-based thioureas

Abstract

Thioureas are important building blocks in medicinal chemistry; ferrocenes as highly hydrophobic moieties induce very interesting qualities in medicinal compounds. In this article, we have synthesized four ferrocene incorporated N,N′-disubstituted benzoyl thioureas (3a–3d) with general formula C₅H₅-Fe-C₅H₄C₆H₄Cl-NH-CS-NH-CO-C₆H₄(H/CH₃). Molecular structures of these compounds were characterized in solid and solution phases. In solution molecular structures were established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR and cyclic voltammetry. In the solid state their structures were characterized by elemental analyses and FTIR spectroscopy. Two of the compounds (3a and 3d) had also been structurally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The electrochemical characterization showed a reversible process with one electron transfer from Fe(II) to Fe(III). The single crystal analysis showed strong intermolecular non-covalent interactions in these compounds. Molecular structures of these compounds were also studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculation . DFT studies showed good correlation between calculated parameters and experimental results of solution phase and solid state characterizations. Compounds 3a–3d were evaluated for DNA interaction and antioxidant activity. These compounds interact with DNA via electrostatic forces and liberate significant binding constants and energies. Antioxidant potential –CSNH and –CONH groups induce same level of free radical scavenging ability in these compounds.
