Conformational studies of multichain copoly(α-amino acids)s in solution

The conformational transition of multichain copoly(-amino acid)s consisting of copoly(-methyl-L-glutamyl-L-lysine) as backbone molecule and poly(-benzyl-L-glutamate) as branch molecules was studied in chloroform and DCA mixtures. The helix stability of backbone molecule is strongly affected by the length of branch molecules. In the case of the multichain copolymer having short branch molecular chains, i.e.,DP _br <10, the helix conformation of the backbone molecule is strictly affected by some interferences among the randomly coiled molecular chains. In the case of water-soluble multichain copolymer having poly(L-glutamic acid) or poly(L-lysine) as branch molecules, the transitional process from coil to helix is observed by depressing hydrostatic repulsion among the ionized side chain of branch molecules. However, such conformational transition is depressed to a considerable extent by interferences among the branch molecules.Abbreviations used (shown alphabetically) A/I molar ratio of NCA to initiator - Cbz carbobenzyloxy - DCA dichloroacetic acid - DMF N,N-dimethylformamide - DP _br number-average degree of polymerization of branches of multichain copolymer - Fw _br weight fraction of-benzyl-L-glutamyl residues of multichain copolymer - Mn number-average molecular weight - NCA N-carboxy anhydride of-amino acid - ORD optical rotatory dispersion     

The synthesis,characterization, and theoretical hydrogen gas adsorption properties of copper(II)-3,3′-thiodipropionate complexes with imidazole derivatives

Three new coordination polymers, [Cu(μ₃-tdp)(im)₂]_n (1), {[Cu(μ₃-tdp)(1-mim)₂]·0.5H₂O}_n (2) and {[Cu₂(μ₃-tdp)₂(4-mim)₄]·H₂O}_n (3) [tdpH₂ = 3,3′-thiodipropionic acid, im = imidazole, 1-mim = 1-methylimidazole and 4-mim = 4-methylimidazole], have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR and UV–Vis), elemental analyzes, magnetic measurements, thermal analyzes, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1–3 crystallize in the monoclinic system with space groups of C2/c and P2₁/c, respectively. In 1–3, tdp is a bridging ligand to form 1-D chains, which are extended into a 2-D layer by hydrogen bonding and π···π interactions. The 3,3′-thiodipropionate exhibits an unexpected coordination mode in 1–3. Simulations were used to assess the potential of the complexes in H₂ storage applications.     

Influence of sample deposition and coating with Zr and Pd on the atomization kinetics of germanium in graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry

Atomization of germanium from zirconium-coated (ZrGT), palladium-coated (PdGT) and palladium-zirconium-coated graphite tubes (PZGT) by aqueous deposition of the analyte solution and/or the trapping of the gaseous hydride has been investigated. From the activation energies calculated based on Smets' method, it was found that both the mode of sample introduction and the nature of the atomizer surface have an effect on the atom formation of germanium. Activation energies E_a of 383.9 ± 17.1, 445.8 ± 19.8 and 557.9 ± 12.4 kJ mol⁻¹ were observed for germanium atomization from ZrGT, PZGT and PdGT, respectively. A much larger E_a value of 950.2 ± 13.1 kJ mol⁻¹ was obtained for Ge from PdGT by the trapping of GeH₄. XPS results do not give sufficient evidence for Pd-Ge compound formation.

Comparison of the electronic structure of different perylene‐based dye‐aggregates

Aggregates of functionalized polycyclic aromatic molecules like perylene derivatives differ in important optoelectronic properties such as absorption and emission spectra or exciton diffusion lengths. Although those differences are well known, it is not fully understood if they are caused by variations in the geometrical orientation of the molecules within the aggregates, variations in the electronic structures of the dye aggregates or interplay of both. As this knowledge is of interest for the development of materials with optimized functionalities, we investigate this question by comparing the electronic structures of dimer systems of representative perylene‐based chromophores. The study comprises dimers of perylene, 3,4,9,10‐perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisimide (PBI), 3,4,9,10‐perylene tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA), and diindeno perylene (DIP). Potential energy curves (PECs) and characters of those electronic states are investigated which determine the optoelectronic properties. The computations use the spin‐component‐scaled approximate coupled‐cluster second‐order method (SCS‐CC2), which describes electronic states of predominately neutral excited (NE) and charge transfer (CT) character equally well. Our results show that the characters of the excited states change significantly with the intermolecular orientation and often represent significant mixtures of NE and CT characters. However, PECs and electronic structures of the investigated perylene derivatives are almost independent of the substitution patterns of the perylene core indicating that the observed differences in the optoelectronic properties mainly result from the geometrical structure of the dye aggregate. It also hints at the fact that optical properties can be computed from less‐substituted model compounds if a proper aggregate geometry is chosen. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Multinuclear magnetic resonance studies of 2‐aryl‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N spectra of aryl‐substituted 1,3,4‐thiadiazoles were recorded. The results obtained were correlated with Hammett coefficients. The experimental results were compared with DFT‐calculated chemical shifts. The results obtained were compared with those for 1,3,4‐oxadiazoles and 1,3,4‐selenadiazoles.
