Recollements of extension algebras

Let A be a finite-dimensional algebra over arbitrary base field k. We prove: if the unbounded derived module category D-(Mod-A) admits symmetric recollement relative to unbounded derived module categories of two finite-dimensional k-algebras B and C:D- (Mod - B) D-(Mod - A) D-(Mod - C),then the unbounded derived module category D-(Mod - T(A)) admits symmetric recollement relative to the unbounded derived module categories of T(B) and T(C):D-(Mod - T(B)) D-(Mod - T(A)) D-(Mod -T(C)).     

Long-Lived Luminescent Re(I) Complexes Containing cis-Carbonyl and Bidentate Phosphine Ligands

Highly emissive Re(I) complexes, hydrophobic cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(dpphen) and water-soluble cis-Re(CO)₂(c-dppene)(SO₃-dpphen) with a negative charge, were synthesized [where c-dppene is cis-(bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene, dpphen is 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and SO₃-dpphen is its disulfonate derivative]. These Re(I) complexes have significantly higher molar absorption in the 350- to 490-nm region compared to their tricarbonyl Re(I) counterparts and their emission spectra are similar to those of Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes. The luminescence lifetimes of these Re(I) complexes approach 10 s in the absence of oxygen in both aqueous and less polar solvents. The complexes have limiting anisotropy values exceeding 0.3. As both ligands, the diimine and the bidentate phosphine, can be modified by adding different substituents, it should be possible to make cis-Re(CO)₂(diimine)(P-P) derivatives which are capable of labeling biomacromolecules for biochemical and biophysical studies.     

Changes in the Solubility of β-Cyclodextrin on Complex Formation: Guest Enforced Solubility of β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes

The most common native host molecule, -cyclodextrin (cycloheptaamylose) is able toform inclusion complexes with a large variety of guestmolecules (or ions) of different size and shape. Theproperties of the included guest molecule are highlyinfluenced by the host-guest interaction, and thepractical usefulness of -cyclodextrin isdependent on these effects. These changes are mainlyinvestigated from the point of view of the guest andto a lesser extent from that of the host. In spite ofthis, the kind of guests and that of the host-guestinteractions during the formation of the inclusioncomplex seem to influence the properties of thehydrophilic domain of -cyclodextrin (i.e. thatof the supramolecule itself), too, and this effect canbe well demonstrated by the change of solubility ofdifferent -cyclodextrin inclusion complexes.This change can be best correlated with the solubilityof the guest as if the guest enforced its solubilityon the supramolecule.     

Generalized Cofibration Categories and Global Actions

We develop an axiomatic homotopy theory for categories with a family of natural cylinders indexed by a set with relations, generalizing Baues I-categories. The main examples of -cofibration categories are the categories of global actions and simplicial complexes.

Photoconversion and photocatalytic activity of uranyl in acetone solutions

We have studied the effect of irradiation on the uranyl nitrate — acetone and uranyl perchlorate — acetone systems. We have established that when the uranyl perchlorate — acetone system is irradiated, polymerization of the acetone occurs and the catalyst for the process is excited uranyl complexes. In the polymer, uranium is found in the form of nanoclusters of pentavalent and tetravalent uranium, formed as a result of photochemical reactions. Polymerization does not occur in the uranyl nitrate — acetone system. We consider possible factors responsible for the noted differences. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 5, pp. 565–568, September–October, 2007.     

Steric effects on the mechanism of reaction of nucleophilic substitution of β‐substituted alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones with four secondary amines

The kinetics of the reaction of β‐substituted β‐alkoxyvinyl trifluoromethyl ketones R¹O‐CR²?CH‐COCF₃ ( 1a – e ) [( 1a ), R¹?C₂H₅, R²?H; ( 1b ), R¹?R²?CH₃; ( 1c ), R¹?C₂H₅, R²?C₆H₅; ( 1d ), R¹?C₂H₅, R²?V^?pNO₂C₆H₄; ( 1e ), R¹?C₂H₅, R²?C(CH₃)₃] with four aliphatic amines ( 2a – d ) [( 2a ), (C₂H₅)₂NH; ( 2b ), (i‐C₃H₇)₂NH; ( 2c ), (CH₂)₅NH; ( 2d ), O(CH₂CH₂)₂NH] was studied in two aprotic solvents, hexane and acetonitrile. The least reactive stereoisomeric form of ( 1a – d ) was the most populated ( E‐s‐Z‐o‐Z ) form, whereas in ( 1e ), the more reactive form ( Z‐s‐Z‐o‐Z ) dominated. The reactions studied proceeded via common transition state formation whose decomposition occurred by ‘uncatalyzed’ and/or ‘catalyzed’ route. Shielding of the reaction centre by bulky β‐substituents lowered abruptly both k′ (‘uncatalyzed’ rate constant) and k″ (‘catalyzed’ rate constant) of this reaction. Bulky amines reduced k″ to a greater extent than k′ as a result of an additional steric retardation to the approach of the bulky amine to its ammonium ion in the transition state. An increase in the electron‐withdrawing ability of the β‐substituent increased ‘uncatalyzed’ k′ due to the acceleration of the initial nucleophile attack (k₁) and ‘uncatalyzed’ decomposition of transition state (k₂) via promoting electrophilic assistance (through transition state 8 ). The amine basicity determined the route of the reaction: the higher amine basicity, the higher k₃/k₂ ratio (a measure of the ‘catalyzed’ route contribution as compared to the ‘uncatalyzed’ process) was. ‘Uncatalyzed’ route predominated for all reactions; however in polar acetonitrile the contribution of the ‘catalyzed’ route was significant for amines with high pK_a and small bulk.

Investigation on ultrafast thrid—order optical nonlinearity of metal（dmit）2／mnt）2 Charge transfer complexes

We have investigated the transient third-order optical nonlinearity of the solutions of Metal(dmit)2/(mnt)2 salts in acetone by employing femtosecond optical Kerr gate measurement at 830nm wavelength.An order of enhancement on the second-order hyperppolarizability is found for the above salts with central atoms of Cu and Ni.We have suggested an explanation for the enhancement based on the extension of electronic conjugation by the entring Cu or Ni atom.     

Energetic and topological analysis of the reaction of Mo and Mo2 with NH3, C2H2, and C2H4 molecules

The Density functional theory has been applied to characterize the structural features of Mo(1,2)-NH(3),-C(2)H(4), and -C(2)H(2) compounds. Coordination modes, geometrical structures, and binding energies have been calculated for several spin multiplets. It has been shown that in contrast to the conserved spin cases (Mo(1,2)-NH(3)), the interaction between Mo (or Mo(2)) and C(2)H(4) (or C(2)H(2)) are the low-spin (Mo-C(2)H(4) and -C(2)H(2)) and high-spin (Mo(2)-C(2)H(4) and -C(2)H(2)) complexes. In the ground state of Mo(1,2)-C(2)H(4) and -C(2)H(2), the metal-center always reacts with the C-C center. The spontaneous formation of the global minima is found to be possible due to the crossing between the potential energy surfaces (ground and excited states with respect to the metallic center). The bonding characterization has been performed using the topological analysis of the Electron Localization Function. It has been shown that the most stable electronic structure for a pi-acceptor ligand correlates with a maximum charge transfer from the metal center to the C-C bond of the unsaturated hydrocarbons, resulting in the formation of two new basins located on the carbon atoms (away from hydrogen atoms) and the reduction of the number of attractors of the C-C basin. The interaction between Mo(1,2) and C(2)H(4) (or C(2)H(2)) should be considered as a chemical reaction, which causes the multiplicity change. Contrarily, there is no charge transfer between Mo(1,2) and NH(3), and the partners are bound by an electrostatic interaction.
