In this research article, we describe the synthesis and characterization of mononuclear and dinuclear Cu complexes bound by a family of tridentate redox-active ligands with tunable H-bonding donors. The mononuclear Cu-anion complexes were oxidized to the corresponding “high-valent” intermediates by oxidation of the redox-active ligand. These species were capable of oxidizing phenols with weak O−H bonds via H-atom abstraction. Thermodynamic analysis of the H-atom abstractions, which included reduction potential measurements, pKa determination and kinetic studies, revealed that modification of the anion coordinated to the Cu and changes in the H-bonding donor did not lead to major differences in the reactivity of the “high-valent” CuY complexes (Y: hydroxide, phenolate and acetate), which indicated that the tridentate ligand scaffold acts as the H+ and e− acceptor. 相似文献
Let M be an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold and be a codimension 1 geodesic cycle. In this paper, we study the asymptotic growth of the -norm of the lifts of F in the congruence tower above M. We obtain an explicit value for the growth rate of this norm. In particular, we provide a new proof of a celebrated result
of Millson [Mi] on the homology of the arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds. The method is quite general and gives a new way of
getting non zero homology classes in certain locally symmetric spaces.

We establish a combinatorial interpretation for various operations on symmetric functions, such as plethysm, scalar product, and derivation. Thus we obtain proofs of formulas involving symmetric functions in term of combinatorial constructions on permutations. 相似文献
New calixarene-based bis-bipyridyl podands incorporating two sodium (4-oxo)-butanoate or four sodium carboxymethyl groups at the upper rim were synthesised and fully characterised. The (4-oxo)-butanoate derivative bearing unsubstituted bipyridyl arms was not soluble in water at neutral pH, while its 4,4′-dicarboxylate analogue was perfectly soluble, as were the carboxymethyl derivatives. The association of water solubility to the chelating behaviour of the bipyridyl subunits resulted in the ability to complex the unstable copper(I) cation in water, even in the presence of bovine serum albumin. 相似文献
We engage a study of nonmodal linear logic which takes times ⊗ and the linear conditional ⊸ to be the basic connectives instead
of times and linear negation ()⊥ as in Girard's approach. This difference enables us to obtain a very large subsystem of linear logic (called positive linear
logic) without an involutionary negation (if the law of double negation is removed from linear logic in Girard's formulation,
the resulting subsystem is extremely limited). Our approach enables us to obtain several natural models for various subsystems
of linear logic, including a generic model for the so-called minimal linear logic. In particular, it is seen that these models
arise spontaneously in the transition from set theory to multiset theory. We also construct a model of full (nonmodal) linear
logic that is generic relative to any model of positive linear logic. However, the problem of constructing a generic model
for positive linear logic remains open. Bibliography: 2 titles.

The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) recently completed a detailed engineering and economic analysis of the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) based wood-to-ethanol process. The reference-case design was based on a plant capacity of 1920 dry t/d and a wood cost of $42/dry t. For this case, the preliminary estimate of the production cost of the ethanol product is about $1.22/gal. The combined effects of optimizing SSF enzyme loading, increasing plant capacity to 10,000 dry t/d, and reducing wood cost to $34/dry t are to reduce the preliminary estimate of the production cost to about $0.95/gal. Other technological improvements may further reduce the production cost. Certain technical assumptions, inherent in the analysis, are being investigated further.
A classical electrostatic polarization scheme using the additive distribution procedure has been applied to determine the longitudinal polarizability of an all-trans hexatriene molecule in an infinite stretched fiber. The parameters have been derived from ab initio CPHF/6-31G calculations and the electrostatic scheme has been validated via comparison with ab initio results on small clusters. Upon packing the polarizability of all-trans hexatriene increases by 7%. This small increase results from the balance between the enhancement of the polarizability due to collinear packing and the reduction associated with lateral packing. 相似文献
