Nouveaux thiochlorures de molybdène(II): Mo6Cl10Y (Y = S,Se, Te): Structure et propriétés magnétiques et électriques

The thiochlorides Mo₆Cl₁₀Y (Y = S, Se, Te) have been prepared; they are isostructural with Nb₆I₁₁, space group Pccn, and have four formula units per unit cell. The X-ray structure of Mo₆Cl₁₀Se has been determined from three-dimensional single-crystal counter data and refined to a final R value of 0.053 for 3350 independent reflections. The most important result concerning this structure is a statistical distribution of the Se atom on the unit (Mo₆X′₈) with $\text{X′ ?}\text{7}\text{8}\text{Cl}\text{+}\text{1}\text{8}\text{Se}$: so the compound Mo₆Cl₁₀Se must be formulated $\text{(Mo}{}_6\text{Cl}{}_7\text{Se)Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{Cl}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>2</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$. The diamagnetic and dielectric behavior of these new thiochlorides is discussed.     

Effects of Two Natural Bisbenzylisoquinolines,Curine and Guattegaumerine,Extracted from Isolona hexaloba on Rhodamine Efflux by Abcb1b from Rat Glycocholic-Acid-Resistant Hepatocarcinoma Cells

To develop new therapeutic molecules, it is essential to understand the biological effects and targets of clinically relevant compounds. In this article, we describe the extraction and characterization of two alkaloids from the roots of Isolona hexaloba—curine and guattegaumerine. The effect of these alkaloids on the multidrug efflux pump ABCB1 (MDR1/P-Glycoprotein) and their antiproliferative properties were studied. Compared to verapamil, a widely used inhibitor of P-gp, curine and guattegaumerine were found to be weak inhibitors of MDR1/P-Glycoprotein. The highest inhibition of efflux produced by verapamil disappeared in the presence of curine or guattegaumerine as competitors, and the most pronounced effect was achieved with curine. Altogether, this work has provided new insights into the biological effects of these alkaloids on the rat Mdr1b P-gp efflux mechanism and would be beneficial in the design of potent P-gp inhibitors.     

Transport and percolation in a low-density high-mobility two-dimensional hole system

We present a study of the temperature and density dependence of the resistivity of an extremely high quality two-dimensional hole system grown on the (100) surface of GaAs. For high densities in the metallic regime (p > or approximately4x10;{9} cm;{-2}), the nonmonotonic temperature dependence ( approximately 50-300 mK) of the resistivity is consistent with temperature dependent screening of residual impurities. At a fixed temperature of T=50 mK, the conductivity versus density data indicate an inhomogeneity driven percolation-type transition to an insulating state at a critical density of 3.8x10;{9} cm;{-2}.     

Crystallochemistry of some new niobium bromides with (Nb6Br18) units: Structures of CsErNb6Br18 and Cs2EuNb6Br18

Two new series of Nb₆ bromides, CsRENb₆Br₁₈ (RE = all the lanthanides excepted Eu and Yb, + Y) (type H ) and M₂RENb₆Br₁₈ (M = Cs, Rb, Tl; RE = Eu, Yb) (type R ) have been isolated. The crystal structures of CsErNb₆Br₁₈ and Cs₂EuNb₆Br₁₈, isotypic with the corresponding chlorides, have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The (Nb₆Br₁₈) intra-unit strength is related to the nature and the charge of the counter cation. A comparison between the corresponding chlorides and bromides series, based on the chemical properties and the size of the halogen is discussed.     

Degradation Thermique D'Un Polystyrene Choc Ignifuge Par Un Melange Intumescent

The study of the thermal degradation of the fireproof polystyrene—butadiene copolymer by an intumescent system: ammonium polyphosphate (APP)—pentaerythritol (PER)—talc (TAL), was done through an experimental process. Thermogravimetry under air sweeping was used. We observed for the degradation rate of the mixture with fireproofing agents, in the field of 20 to 50% mass loss, a better linear increasing when this mixture contains more TAL and the ratio APP/PER is smaller.

This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Interpretation dü spectre RMN-3H du PK-11195 (3H)

(1D-³H NMR) of PK 11195 ³H gives a complex spectrum. Homonuclear 2D-³H NMR (COSY and J. Resolved) gives useful information such as tritium chemical shifts, ³H-³H and ³H-¹H coupling constant, percentage of isotopomers and specific activity.     

Conception and Evaluation of a Library of Cleavable Mass Tags for Digital Polymers Sequencing

A library of phosphoramidite monomers containing a main-chain cleavable alkoxyamine and a side-chain substituent of variable molar mass (i.e. mass tag) was prepared in this work. These monomers can be used in automated solid-phase phosphoramidite chemistry and therefore incorporated periodically as spacers inside digitally-encoded poly(phosphodiester) chains. Consequently, the formed polymers contain tagged cleavable sites that guide their fragmentation in mass spectrometry sequencing and enhance their digital readability. The spacers were all prepared via a seven steps synthetic procedure. They were afterwards tested for the synthesis and sequencing of model digital polymers. Uniform digitally-encoded polymers were obtained as major species in all cases, even though some minor defects were sometimes detected. Furthermore, the polymers were decoded in pseudo-MS³ conditions, thus confirming the reliability and versatility of the spacers library.
