Gas chromatographic properties of two thermotropic Poly(L-glutamates) with long alkyl side chains

Summary Comparative gas chromatographic properties of two thermotropic Poly(L-glutamates) with long alkyl side chains (10 and 16 carbons called Poly 10 and Poly 16 respectively) are studied.Their thermal properties were established with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gas chromatography. They present a cholesteric liquid crystal in a large temperature range.The chromatographic separation abilities of the two polymers in the liquid crystal state were studied using capillary glass columns. Interesting analytical performances were obtained in different fields: isomeric separation of alkanes, aromatics, polyaromatics, volatile aroma compounds and cis and trans isomers. Some differences were noticed in their behaviours; 2 and 3-methyloctane and xylene isomers are separated only on Poly 10 while limonene and eucalyptol are separated only on Poly 16.     

Molecular basis for antifreeze activity difference of two insect antifreeze protein isoforms

The insect spruce budworm(Choristoneura fumiferana) produces antifreeze protein(AFP) to assist in the protection of the over-wintering larval stage and contains multiple isoforms. Structures for two isoforms,known as CfAFP-501 and CfAFP-337,show that both possess similar left-handed β-helical structure,although thermal hysteresis activity of the longer isoform CfAFP-501 is three times that of CfAFP-337. The markedly enhanced activity of CfAFP-501 is not proportional to,and cannot be simply accounted for,by the increased ice-binding site resulting from the two extra coils in CfAFP-501. In or-der to investigate the molecular basis for the activity difference and gain better understanding of AFPs in general,we have employed several different computational methods to systematically study the structural properties and ice interactions of the AFPs and their deletion models. In the context of intact AFPs,a majority of the coils in CfAFP-501 has better ice interaction and causes stronger ice lattice disruption than CfAFP-337,strongly suggesting a cooperative or synergistic effect among β-helical coils. The synergistic effect would play a critical role and make significant contributions to the anti-freeze activity β-helical antifreeze proteins. This is the first time that synergistic effect and its implica-tion for antifreeze activity are reported for β-helical antifreeze proteins.

Thioureato-verbrückte zweikernige Komplexe der Lanthanoide Darstellung und Struktur von [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt2}{Et2NC(S)NH}LnBr(thf)]2 (Ln = Gd,Sm)

Thioureato Brigded Binuclear Complexes of the Lanthanides Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt₂}{Et₂NC(S)NH}LnBr(thf)]₂ (Ln = Gd, Sm) The reaction of potassium-N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenyl-benzamidinat with LnBr₃ (Ln = Gd, Sm) leads to the formation of the binuclear complexes [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt₂}{Et₂NC(S)N}LnBr(thf)]₂} (Ln = Gd 1 , Sm 2 ). The two bridging thiureatoligands are probably built during the reaction of potassium with the starting ligand. Coordination by one N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenylbenzamidinato-ligand, one Br-ion and one THF-ligand leads to square antiprismatic coordination of the lanthanoids. The structures of both compounds were characterized by X-ray analysis ( 1 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 12,006(4) Å, b = 12,245(4) Å, c = 13,612(3) Å, α = 70,55(3)°, β = 68,21(3)°, γ = 81,31(3)° 2 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 11,803(3) Å, b = 12,344(5) Å, c = 12,797(8) Å, α = 103,07(5)°, β = 101,76(3)°, γ = 114,13(3)°)     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New One-dimensional Zn(II) Nitronyl Nitroxide Complex Bridged by Pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate Anion

1 INTRODUCTION The synthesis and study of transition metal com- pounds incorporating organic free radicals directly bound to their coordination sphere are a major re- search aim in the field of molecular magnetism[1]. Exceptional stability, ease of chemical modification and versatility in their coordination properties have made nitroxide free radicals one of the most attrac- tive spin carriers for the design of molecular magne- tic materials[2, 3].

1 INTRODUCTION Molecular assembly and supramolecular che-mistry are young and rapidly growing subjects andhave attracted great attention. Microporous materialsbuilt up by organic ligands and metal ions have po-tential applications in catalysis, chemical absorption,magnetism and electronic conductivity[1～3].

Steric control over hydrogen bonding in crystalline organic solids: a structural study of N,N'-dialkylthioureas

Hydrogen bonding in crystalline N,N'-dialkylthioureas was examined with the help of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, DFT calculations, and Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) analysis. A CSD survey indicated that unlike the related urea derivatives, which persistently self-assemble into one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains, the analogous thioureas can form two different hydrogen-bonding motifs in the solid state: chains, structurally similar with those found in ureas, and dimers, that further associate into hydrogen-bonded layers. The formation of one motif or another can be manipulated by the bulkiness of the organic substituents on the thiourea group, which provides a clear example of steric control over the hydrogen bonding arrangement in crystalline organic solids.

Die Kristallstruktur von Na2NiAlF7—ein Beitrag zum Problem der wahren Raumgruppe orthorhombischer Weberite

The Crystal Structure of Na₂NiAlF₇ — a Contribution to the Problem of the True Space Group of Orthorhombic Weberites The X-ray single crystal structure determination of the orthorhombic weberite Na₂NiAlF₇ (a = 707.4(2), b = 1003.8(2), c = 731.5(1) pm; Z = 4) was performed in space group Imma, after all reflections hk0 with h(k) = 2n + 1 could be eliminated, as they proved simulated by Renninger effect and/or λ/2 reflections. The alternative space groups Imm2 resp. I2₁2₁2₁ of former weberite structure determinations thus became obsolete. The refinement using 880 independent reflections ended at wR = 0.0232. The resulting average distances within the framework of octahedra are Ni? F = 197.3, Al? F = 180.4 pm.
