Synthesis of new photoresponsive polyesters containing norbornadiene residues by the polyaddition of donor–acceptor norbornadiene dicarboxylic acid diglycidyl ester with dicarboxylic acids and their photochemical properties

A donor–acceptor norbornadiene derivative, 5‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,4,6,7,7‐pentamethyl‐2,5‐norbornadiene‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid diglycidyl ester (D–A NDGE), was synthesized by the reaction of the cesium salt of 5‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1,4,6,7,7‐pentamethyl‐2,5‐norbornadiene‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid with epibromohydrin in N‐methyl‐ pyrrolidone (NMP). The polyaddition reactions of D–A NDGE with certain dicarboxylic acids were carried out with tetrabutylammonium bromide as a catalyst in NMP, producing corresponding polyesters containing D–A norbornadiene (NBD) residues in the main chain in fair to good yields. The photoisomerization of the D–A NBD residues in the polyesters proceeded very smoothly, forming the corresponding quadricyclane groups. The photoreactivities of the D–A NBD residues in the polymer were 50 times higher than those of the NBD residues in the film state and 60 times higher than those in a tetrahydrofuran solution. The stored energy in the quadricyclane groups of the polymers was about 45–55 kJ/mol according to differential scanning calorimetry analysis of the irradiated polymer films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Equilibrium inversion barrier of NH3 from extrapolated coupled‐cluster pair energies

The basis‐set convergence of singlet and triplet pair energies of coupled‐cluster theory including single and double excitations is accelerated by means of extrapolations based on the distinct convergence behaviors of these pairs. The new extrapolation procedure predicts a nonrelativistic Born–Oppenheimer inversion barrier of 1767±12 cm^?1 for NH₃. An effective one‐dimensional, vibrationally averaged barrier of 2021±20 cm^?1 is obtained when relativistic effects (+20 cm^?1), Born–Oppenheimer diagonal corrections (?10 cm^?1), and zero‐point vibrations (+244 cm^?1) are accounted for. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

High-spin spectroscopy of 63 31Ga32 and 65 31Ga34

High-spin states in the nuclei ⁶³Ga and ⁶⁵Ga were studied following the reaction ³²S + ⁴⁰Ca at a reaction energy of 125 MeV and using the GASP γ-ray spectrometer in combination with the ISIS charged-particle detector system. In addition to low-lying negative-parity states with single-particle character, rotational-like cascades built on the 9/2⁺ and 19/2^- states have been observed in both nuclei. Sidebands with negative parity in ⁶³Ga and positive parity in ⁶⁵Ga could be established. The experimental results are compared with Total Routhian Surface calculations which describe the nuclei as moderately deformed (β₂≈ 0.25) and γ soft at low rotational frequencies. The highest experimentally observed positive-parity state in ⁶⁵Ga (41/2⁺) is in good agreement with the calculated crossing of the collective band with a non-collective one terminating at this spin.

High-spin states in 208Pb

High-spin states in ²⁰⁸Pb have been studied by γ-ray-spectroscopy methods in deep inelastic reactions induced by beams of ²⁰⁸Pb, ¹³⁶Xe and ⁷⁶Ge beams on a thick ²⁰⁸Pb target. The 11⁺ ₂ state and new γ-transitions between the one-particle one-hole states of highest spin have been found and electromagnetic matrix elements verified. High-spin states of two-particle two-hole structure have been detected for the first time. The results are compared to shell model calculations with realistic interactions in the complete Kuo-Herling space. Received: 31 October 2000 / Accepted: 26 March 2001     

The new isotope 270110 and its decay products 266Hs and 262Sg

The even-even nucleus ²⁷⁰110 was synthesized using the reaction ⁶⁴Ni + ²⁰⁷Pb. A total of eight α-decay chains was measured during an irradiation time of seven days. Decay data were obtained for the ground-state and a high-spin K isomer. The new nuclei ²⁶⁶Hs and ²⁶²Sg were identified as daughter products after α-decay. Spontaneous fission of ²⁶²Sg terminates the decay chain. The measured data are in agreement with calculations using the macroscopic-microscopic model and with self-consistent HFB calculations with Skyrme-Sly4 interaction.

Decay reactions of rare gas cluster ions: Kinetic energy release distributions and binding energies

We have carried out measurements on metastable fragmentation of mass selected argon cluster ions which are produced by electron impact ionization of a neutral argon cluster beam. From the shape of the fragment ion peaks (MIKE scan technique) one can deduce information about the distribution of kinetic energy that is released in the decay reaction. In this study, for Ar ₅ ⁺ to Ar ₁₅ ⁺, it is Gaussian and thus we can calculate from the peak width the mean kinetic energy release 〈KER〉 of the corresponding decay reactions. Using finite heat bath theory we calculate from these data the binding energies of the decaying cluster ions. Received 20 November 2000     

Computed electrostatic potentials and average local ionization energies on the molecular surfaces of some tetracyclines

The electrostatic potentials and average local ionization energies computed on the molecular surfaces of four tetracyclines have been investigated with the objective of identifying common features as well as subtle differences that may be related to their biological activities. The four are the parent molecule tetracycline, chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, and doxycyline. The calculations were carried out at the HF/STO‐3G*//STO‐3G* level. Our electrostatic potential results show that each molecule has a large negative region that extends along its lower portion, consistent with its ability to complex Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions. Although the surface electrostatic potentials of the four tetracyclines show many similarities, our statistical measure of local polarity allows us to label doxycycline as the one with the lowest degree of local polarity, consistent with its longer half‐life in vivo. The regions in the tetracyclines with the most reactive electrons are the amide nitrogen lone pairs and certain carbons of the outermost rings. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
