STOICHIOMETRY OF THE REDOX CHANGES OF MANGANESE DURING THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC WATER OXIDATION CYCLE

Abstract— The UV absorbance change associated with the oxygen-evolution cycle is investigated as to its correlation with the successive redox (S-) states of the system. This change is probably due to a manganese oxidation within a multinuclear Mn-cluster. The stoichiometry of its formation and destruction during the S-cycle has been a matter of controversy: (0,1,0,-1) according to velthuys, B. R. (1981) in Photosynthesis II , (Edited by G. Akoyunoglou), pp. 75–85. Balaban International Science Services, Philadelphia, or (1, 1, 1, -3) according to Dekker, J. P., Van Gorkom, H. J., Wensink, J. and Ouwehand, L. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 767, 1–9. We show that the data obtained in flash-series experiments on dark-adapted material may be fitted as satisfactorily by both models. More discriminating tests were devised, varying parameters such as the double-hits probability or the initial distribution of the S-states. These experiments clearly indicate that no (or little) absorbance change occurs both upon S₀→S₁ and S₂→S₃ transitions. This suggests that the correct stoichiometry is (0,l,0,-1). The possibility of a non-integer stoichiometry may also be considered.     

Recherches en série diazépine-1,4 et triazépine-1,2,4. XI—etude en spectrométrie de masse des fragmentations de triazépines-1,2,4

The mass spectra of eleven 1,2,4-triazepines with oxo, thioxo, methoxy and methylmercapto groups in the 3 and 5 positions are reported and analysed. Each of the five structures of the triazepine ring present is characterized by a particular group of fragmentations.     

Synthèses de 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]diazépines et de 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[4,5-d][1,4]diazépines par cycloaddition dipolaire-1,3

We report here a one-step synthesis of the 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H- 1,2,4,-triazolo[4,3-d][1,4]diazepine, 4-6, and 1,2,4-oxadiazolo[4,5-d][1,4]-diazepine, 7-10, by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile imines and nitrile oxides with 2,3-dihydro-H-1,4-diazepine, 1. In all cases these cycloaddition are peri- and regioselectives (the C ? N bond is sole affected) and occures with high yields. Structure and conformations of cycloadducts have been assigned by means of nmr analysis     

Effect of the twisted alignment on the liquid crystal wave‐front corrector

The effect of twisted alignment on the phase modulation of a liquid crystal wave‐front corrector was investigated. First, the effect of twisted alignment is discussed in terms of the modulation principle of the liquid crystal molecule. Only partial incident light can be modulated because of the effect of the twisted alignment. Other unmodulated light will affect the correction accuracy and the resolution of the image. The blazed grating method is proposed to solve this problem. Adaptive correction was performed without the blazed grating method and the correction results are poor. A similar adaptive correction experiment was performed with the blazed grating method and a better correction result is obtained. The residual averaged wave‐front errors are PV = 0.101λ and RMS = 0.015λ and a resolvable image is obtained.     

Rainbow refractrometry on particles with radial refractive index gradients

The rainbow refractrometry, under its different configurations (classical and global), is an attractive technique to extract information from droplets in evaporation such as diameter and temperature. Recently a new processing strategy has been developed which increases dramatically the size and refractive index measurements accuracy for homogeneous droplets. Nevertheless, for mono component as well as for multicomponent droplets, the presence of temperature and/or of concentration gradients induce the presence of a gradient of refractive index which affects the interpretation of the recorded signals. In this publication, the effect of radial gradient on rainbow measurements with a high accuracy never reached previously is quantified.     

Synthesis and foaming properties of new anionic surfactants based on a renewable building block: sodium dodecyl isosorbide sulfates

Two agro-based anionic surfactants containing an isosorbide moiety have been synthesized and their amphiphilic properties evaluated. Since isosorbide is now considered as an important platform chemical of the starch industry, these compounds could represent bio-sourced alternatives to the alkyl ether sulfates (notably lauryl ether sulfate, LES) that are based on petroleum-derived ethylene oxides. As isosorbide is an asymmetric diol, two isomers can be prepared (2-O-dodecyl isosorbide sulfate and 5-O-dodecyl isosorbide sulfate) that show significantly different aqueous properties as regards to their Krafft temperatures and critical micellar concentrations. 5-O-dodecyl isosorbide sulfate is the most soluble and the most efficient surfactant. It possesses a much lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) than sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS, leading to comparable foaming properties with a three times lower concentration. Its behavior compares well with the one of pure diethoxylated dodecyl sulfate that has also been prepared and evaluated in this work.
