Anomalous behavior of conductivity of the confined Q1D electron system over liquid helium

Conductivity of electrons in a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) system over liquid helium in narrow channels with the parabolic profile of the potential well has been investigated at temperature T, from 0.4 to 1.8 K, for different driving electric fields and radius of channel curvature. The interval of linear electron densities varied from 2.18×10³ up to 1.7×10⁶ cm⁻¹.

The inverse mobility (1/μ_eff) in the electron-ripplon scattering region at the high linear densities of charges in the channel increases with temperature decreasing. This anomalous behavior of the electron transport in the low-temperature region has been explained by either the electron ordering or the polaronic effects in confined conducting channels. The nonlinear behavior of the electron velocity as a function of a driving electric field is supposed to be due to Breg–Cherenkov radiation of the ripplons. The radiation occurred if the velocity of electrons in the channel approaches to the critical value.     

4,5‐Di­hydro‐3‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole‐1‐carboxamidinium acetate acetone hemisolvate

The X‐ray structure analysis of the unexpected product of the reaction between 4‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)­but‐3‐en‐2‐one and amino­guanidine revealed the title compound, C₁₂H₁₇N₄⁺·C₂H₃O₂^?·0.5C₃H₆O, consisting of a protonated amidine moiety joined to a substituted pyrazoline ring at the N1 atom. The amidine group is protonated and the positive charge is delocalized over the three C—N bonds in a similar manner to that found in guanidinium salts. The amidinium moiety of the cation is linked to the acetate anions through four N—H?O hydrogen bonds, with N?O distances of 2.749 (4), 2.848 (4), 2.904 (4) and 2.911 (4) Å. The pyrazoline ring adopts a flattened envelope conformation and the substituted phenyl ring is oriented perpendicular to the attached heterocycle. The acetone solvate molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis.     

Oxygen activation on metallic centers and oxidizing abilities of such oxygen

It was shown that metallcontaining peroxides such as XOOOBu-t [X = (t-BuO)₂Al, (t-BuO)₃Ti] generate molecular oxygen in the electron-excited singlet state (¹O₂). These ozonides and η²-peroxocomplex Ph₃Bi(η²O₂) demonstrate high oxidative activity towards some classes of organic substances under mild conditions (20 °C).     

Mass spectrometric study of μ4-oxohexa-μ-acetatotetrazinc,Zn4O(CH3CO2)6

The electron impact mass spectrum of Zn₄O(CH₃CO₂)₆ isostructural to Be₄O(CH₃CO₂)₆ studied earlier is reported. The principal fragmentation paths of both compounds involve the elimination of M(CH₃CO₂)₂ where M is Zn, Be, or (CH₃CO)₂O. Further fragmentations proceed by the losses of CH₂CO and H₂O. The spectrum of Zn₄O(CH₃CO₂)₆ contains intense doubly charged ions. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of stereochemical considerations.     

The additivity principle in pyrolysis—gas chromatography of brown coal

Pyrolysis—gas chromatography of brown coal exhibits additive properties and it is therefore possible to construct the pyrogram of the original coal from the individual pyrograms of the bitumen, humic acids, lignin and humin fractions. The contents of phenols in the pyrograms are typical for all of the above classes except bitumen and are in agreement with the contents of the individual groups in the original coal. The results suggest that the separation does not bring about significant chemical changes in individual brown coal fractions.     

Über die Extrahierbarkeit des Wolfram(VI)-rhodanids

Zusammenfassung Die Anwendbarkeit des Wolfram(VI)-komplexes mit Rhodanid für die analytische Praxis wurde untersucht; durch seine Löslichkeit in organischen Lösungsmitteln eignet sich der Komplex gut zur Trennung von anderen Elementen.Unter Zuhilfenahme des radioaktiven Wolframisotopes¹⁸⁵W konnten die optimalen Extraktionsbedingungen, wie Säure- und Rhodanidkonzentration, rasch ermittelt werden. Bei der Untersuchung verschiedener organischer Lösungsmittel zeigte Amylalkohol sowohl in reiner Form als auch in Mischungen mit Chloroform die besten Extraktionseigenschaften.Da der Komplex zu den stärksten des Wolframs gehört, stören bei der Durchführung von Analysen nur wenige Anionen, am meisten Fluorid. Von den Kationen werden nach Reduktion des Eisens, wozu Ascorbinsäure empfohlen wird, nur wenige andere mitextrahiert; am störendsten wirkt Molybdän, das mitausgeschüttelt wird und anschließend entfernt werden muß. Zur Bestimmung des Wolframs eignet sich dann am besten die Hydrochinonmethode.

Summary A study was made of the use of tungsten(VI) complex with thiocyanate in analytical practice. Because of its solubility in organic liquids the complex is well suited for separation from other elements.By using the radioactive isotope¹⁸⁵W, the optimal extraction conditions, such as the acid- and thiocyanate concentration, could be rapidly determined. When various organic solvents were tried, it was found that amyl alcohol, either by itself or mixed with chloroform, had the best extraction characteristics.Since the complex is one of the most stable formed by tungsten, only a few anions interfere in the analysis; fluoride causes the most trouble. Among the cations, only a few interfere after the iron has been reduced (ascorbic acid is recommended for this purpose). The greatest interference comes from molybdenum, which is co-extracted and has to be removed subsequently. The hydroquinone method is then the best procedure for determining the tungsten.

Résumé On a cherché à appliquer le complexe tungstène-VI-thiocyanate à l'analyse. Grâce à sa solubilité dans les solvants organiques, le complexe se prête bien à la séparation d'avec les autres éléments.Au moyen de l'isotope radioactif du tungstène¹⁸⁵W, on a pu trouver rapidement les conditions optimales d'extraction, ainsi que la concentration en acide et en thiocyanate. Après essai de divers agents de dissolution organiques, l'alcool amylique a montré les meilleures propriétés extractives, aussi bien sous sa forme pure qu'en mélange avec le chloroforme.Etant donné que le complexe est l'un des plus robustes du tungstène, seuls quelques anions gênent pour effectuer les analyses, et surtout les fluorures. Parmi les cations, après réduction du fer pour laquelle l'acide ascorbique est recommandé, seuls quelques autres sont extraits avec lui; le molybdène présente l'action la plus gênante, il doit être masqué et séparé complètement. Pour le dosage du tungstène, la méthode à l'hydroquinone convient alors le mieux.

     

Tröger's base scaffold in racemic and chiral fashion as a spacer for bisdistamycin formation. Synthesis and DNA binding study

‘Head-to-head’ oligo-N-methylpyrrole peptide dimers linked by a methano[1,5]diazocin scaffold are presented in racemic as well as chiral fashion. Their DNA binding activities were assayed on calf thymus DNA, poly(dA-dT)₂, and poly(dC-dG)₂ by NMR and ECD spectroscopies, and fluorescence probe displacement assay. The presented dimers prefer AT sequences, but show higher affinity to poly(dC-dG)₂ than distamycin A. The (4R,9R) configuration of methanodiazocin bridge was found to be better suited for interaction with ct-DNA and poly(dA-dT)₂ than (4S,9S) configuration.
