Small Exotic Molecules with Bosonic Constituents

We study the stability and the properties of the ground state of neutral systems containing up to four positively charged bosons and their antiparticles. Examples are the di-pionium molecule (π ⁺ π ⁻)², which is almost identical to the positronium molecule (e ⁺ e ⁻)², the tri-pionium (π ⁺ π ⁻)³, and the quadri-pionium (π ⁺ π ⁻)⁴ molecules. We briefly compare our results on the energy to those on the large-N limit of (π ⁺ π ⁻) ^N . We also show that the annihilation probability can be calculated accurately with simple wave functions when one uses the generalized Schwinger rule.

121Sb-Mössbauer-Spektren von Antimon(V)-Verbindungen. III

¹²¹Sb Mössbauer Spectra of Antimony (V) Compounds. III The Mössbauer resonance effect of ¹²¹Sb has been studied in the antimony(V) compounds I–VI. Isomer shift and quadrupole splitting variations are considered in the light of results of vibrational spectroscopy and in part of X-ray data. The antimony iodine azides II and IV , respectively, were obtained by reactions of R₃Sb (R = CH₃, C₆H₅) with iodine azide.     

Pulsed EPR Dipolar Spectroscopy under the Breakdown of the High-Field Approximation: The High-Spin Iron(III) Case

Pulsed EPR dipolar spectroscopy (PDS) offers several methods for measuring dipolar coupling and thus the distance between electron-spin centers. To date, PDS measurements to metal centers were limited to ions that adhere to the high-field approximation. Here, the PDS methodology is extended to cases where the high-field approximation breaks down on the example of the high-spin Fe³⁺/nitroxide spin-pair. First, the theory developed by Maryasov et al. (Appl. Magn. Reson. 2006 , 30, 683–702) was adapted to derive equations for the dipolar coupling constant, which revealed that the dipolar spectrum does not only depend on the length and orientation of the interspin distance vector with respect to the applied magnetic field but also on its orientation to the effective g-tensor of the Fe³⁺ ion. Then, it is shown on a model system and a heme protein that a PDS method called relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) is well-suited to measuring such spectra and that the experimentally obtained dipolar spectra are in full agreement with the derived equations. Finally, a RIDME data analysis procedure was developed, which facilitates the determination of distance and angular distributions from the RIDME data. Thus, this study enables the application of PDS to for example, the highly relevant class of high-spin Fe³⁺ heme proteins.

Determination of the Absolute Configuration of Perylene Quinone‐Derived Mycotoxins by Measurement and Calculation of Electronic Circular Dichroism Spectra and Specific Rotations

Altertoxins I–III, alterlosins I and II, alteichin (alterperylenol), stemphyltoxins I–IV, stemphyperylenol, stemphytriol, 7‐epi‐8‐hydroxyaltertoxin I, and 6‐epi‐stemphytriol are mycotoxins derived from perylene quinone, for which the absolute configuration was not known. Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra were calculated for these compounds and compared with measured spectra of altertoxins I–III, alteichin, and stemphyltoxin III and with reported Cotton effects. Specific rotations were calculated and compared with reported specific rotations. The absolute configuration of all the toxins, except for stemphyltoxin IV, could thus be determined. The validity of the assignment was high whenever reported ECD data were available for comparison, and the validity was lower when the assignment was based only on the comparison of calculated and reported specific rotations. ECD spectra are intrinsically different for toxins with a biphenyl substructure and for toxins derived from dihydroanthracene.
