The structure and spectra of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)-cyclopropane: a priori calculated force field and vibrational effects

The molecular structure of 1,1-bis(trimethylsilylethynyl)cyclopropane has been studied by the gas electron diffraction method, by vibrational spectroscopic methods and by ab initio calculations at the RHF and MP2 levels. A scaled quantum-chemical force field was used for band assignment in the experimental IR (4000-100 cm⁻¹) and Raman (4000-200 cm⁻¹) spectra. The root-mean-square vibrational amplitudes and harmonic shrinkage corrections were calculated taking into account non-linear relations between Cartesian and internal vibrational coordinates at the level of first-order perturbation theory (h1) and with the use of the traditional scheme (h0).     

Laser-induced fluorescence microscopic system using an optical parametric oscillator for tunable detection in microchip analysis

A laser-induced fluorescence microscopic system based on optical parametric oscillation has been constructed as a tunable detector for microchip analysis. The detection limit of sulforhodamine B (Ex. 520 nm, Em. 570 nm) was 0.2 mol, which was approximately eight orders of magnitude better than with a conventional fluorophotometer. The system was applied to the determination of fluorescence-labeled DNA (Ex. 494 nm, Em. 519 nm) in a microchannel and the detection limit reached a single molecule. These results showed the feasibility of this system as a highly sensitive and tunable fluorescence detector for microchip analysis.     

Classification of oxide glasses: A polarizability approach

A classification of binary oxide glasses has been proposed taking into account the values obtained on their refractive index-based oxide ion polarizability α_O2−(n₀), optical basicity Λ(n₀), metallization criterion M(n₀), interaction parameter A(n₀), and ion's effective charges as well as O1s and metal binding energies determined by XPS. Four groups of oxide glasses have been established: glasses formed by two glass-forming acidic oxides; glasses formed by glass-forming acidic oxide and modifier's basic oxide; glasses formed by glass-forming acidic and conditional glass-forming basic oxide; glasses formed by two basic oxides. The role of electronic ion polarizability in chemical bonding of oxide glasses has been also estimated. Good agreement has been found with the previous results concerning classification of simple oxides. The results obtained probably provide good basis for prediction of type of bonding in oxide glasses on the basis of refractive index as well as for prediction of new nonlinear optical materials.     

Struktur‐ und magnetochemische Untersuchungen an KCuGaF6

Structural and Magnetochemical Studies on KCuGaF₆ The crystal structure of KCuGaF₆ was determined on the base of X‐ray single crystal data (wR₂ = 0.084 for 2476 independent reflections). The compound crystallizes with a = 728.56(4), b = 989.51(6), c = 676.27(3) pm, β = 93.120(5)°, Z = 4 in space group P2₁/c of the pyrochlore related KCuCrF₆ type. The octahedral coordinations [GaF₆] and [CuF₆] are slightly resp. strongly distorted (mean values Ga‐F: 188.2 pm resp. Cu‐F: 188.2/200.1/227.6 pm). The longest distances Ga‐F and the shortest ones Cu‐F are found within octahedral chains of these two kinds of atoms, running along [100] and [001], resp., and being mutually bridged as well (M‐F‐M in between 114 and 145°). The magnetic mole susceptibilities measured at powders and at a single crystal follow the isotropic Heisenberg model for S = ¹/₂, if effects of chain disrupture are considered in the form of some paramagnetic portion. No indication of threedimensional magnetic order is observed down to T = 2 K and low magnetic fields H < 100 G. KCuGaF₆ (J/k = —71 K for the powder) is distinguished this way from the chain structure compounds KCuAlF₆ und Na₂CuScF₇ (J/k = —76 resp. —59 K) which were also magnetically studied and yield similar antiferromagnetic exchange constants J/k.     

Genome-inspired search for new antibiotics. Isolation and structure determination of new 28-membered polyketide macrolactones, halstoctacosanolides A and B, from Streptomyces halstedii HC34

During the search for polyketide synthase (PKS) in the genome of Streptomyces halstedii HC34, we found clustered new genes which appeared to encode typical Type 1 PKSs beyond the cluster harboring the genes for the biosynthesis of antitumor antibiotic vicenistatin. The deduced domain configuration of these putative PKS genes allowed to predict a corresponding partial structure of polyketide, which was in turn materialized by isolation of new polyketide macrolactone halstoctacosanolides A and B from the fermentation broth of S. halstedii HC34. The structures of these metabolites were determined by spectroscopic means to have a novel 28-membered macrolactone structure. The partial structure deduced from the genetic data was completely compatible to the structures of halstoctacosanolides A and B. This success clearly demonstrates the present new approach of genome-inspired search for new antibiotics promising. Halstoctacosanolides A and B showed moderate antimicrobial activity against several microorganisms.

Electrical resistivity, optical and magnetic properties of the layered oxyselenide SmCuOSe

The electrical and magnetic properties of the tetragonal phase SmCuOSe are reported as a function of the temperature. The optical properties were studied by means of diffuse reflectance spectrum in the UV-Vis range. The electrical resistivity measurements as well as diffuse reflectance spectrum show that SmCuOSe is a semiconductor with an optical band gap (E_g) of 2.6 eV. In this phase, Cu is at its monovalent oxidation state and, as such, it does not contribute to the total magnetic moment, whereas Sm is in its 3+ oxidation state, with a large VanVleck contribution due to the admixture of the fundamental state with higher energy levels.
