Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy as a tool in astrobiology

2006

The element Fe and Fe-bearing minerals occur ubiquitously throughout the field of astrobiology. Cycling between the various oxidation states of Fe provides a source of energy available for life. Banded iron formations may record the rise of oxygenic photosynthesis. The distribution of Fe between Fe-bearing minerals and its oxidation states can help to characterize and understand ancient environments with respect to the suitability for life by constraining the primary rock type and the redox conditions under which it crystallized, the extent of alteration and weathering, the type of alteration and weathering products, and the processes and environmental conditions for alteration and weatheri…

A convenient route for the preparation of the monohydride catalyst trans-[RuCl(H)(dppe)2] (dppe=Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2): improved synthesis and crystal struc…

2013

Abstract A novel and improved room temperature synthesis of the monohydride catalyst trans-[RuCl(H)(dppe)2] complex (1, dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) proceeds through oxidation of methanol (the solvent) by the pentacoordinated cis-[RuCl(dppe)2][PF6] complex and t-BuOK as the base is described. Compound 1 was fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 31P), ESI-MS(TOF +), FTIR and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure of 1 was reported for the first time and unambiguously confirms the trans-configuration of the complex.

Photocatalytic oxidation of gaseous toluene on polycrystalline TiO2: FT-IR investigation of surface reactivity of different types of catalysts

2000

Commercial TiO 2 Merck and TiO 2 Degussa P25 powders were employed as the catalysts for the photo-oxidation of toluene. By using TiO 2 Merck benzaldehyde was found in gas phase as the main product of the toluene partial oxidation. After an initial transient period, this catalyst exhibited a high stability in the presence of water vapour in the gaseous mixture, whereas the photoproduction of benzaldehyde sharply decreases after removal of H 2 O from the feed IR spectra of the used catalyst revealed that in the absence of water vapour benzaldehyde is molecularly held on the catalyst surface. This feature was confirmed by co-adsorbing benzaldehyde and water on the fresh catalyst. By contrast, …

Synthesis and characterisation of N-glycosyl amines from the reaction between 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucopyranose and substituted aromatic amines and a…

2001

Twelve N-glycosyl amines were synthesised using 4,6-O–benzylidene-D-glucopyranose and different substituted aromatic amines, including some diamines that resulted in bis-glycosyl amines. Another set of six N–glycosyl amines was synthesised using different hexoses and pentoses and 2–(o–aminophenyl)benzimidazole. All compounds were isolated as solid products and purified, their elemental compositions were established, and these were characterised by NMR (1H and 13C), UV–Vis, and FTIR spectroscopy, by FAB mass spectrometry (molecular-ion peaks gave molecular weights), and by their optical rotations. While the protected saccharide, 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucopyranose, exists as a mixture of β and…

Theoretical absorption and emission spectra of 1H- and 2H-benzotriazole

2003

Excitation energies, dipole moments, and transition properties for the lowest-lying 1(π, π*) and 1(n, π*) electronic states of two benzotriazole tautomers have been studied at the complete active space (CAS) SCF and multiconfigurational second-order perturbation (CASPT2) levels. With these results, the UV absorption spectra of 1H- and 2H-benzotriazole were first described individually, and then they were considered simultaneously in order to better understand the experimental, observed spectrum of benzotriazole. Aspects of the fluorescence of the compound have been also analyzed. The spectrum of benzotriazole is finally related to those of other azo-compounds.

Chemical and Spectroscopical Properties of Medium Sizedtrans- andcis-Bicyclo[n.1.0]alk-2-ynes

1997

Chemical and spectroscopical properties of cis- and trans-cyclopropano-anellated cycloalkynes of medium ring size are investigated and compared with results from force field calculations. IR and 13C-NMR data of the alkynes reflect the deformation of the triple bond due to ring strain. Parallel to bending the reactivity increases with decreasing ring size, the trans fused alkynes prove to be nearly as reactive as the cis fused with a two carbon smaller ring size. The bicycloalkynes are complexed with silver triflate. 13C NMR reveals that the triple bond as well as the cyclopropane serve as ligands.

Die Reaktion der 2-(ω-Aminoalkyl)-imidazole 4a-f mit N-Cyanodiphenyl-imidocarbonat (7) fuhrt zu den entsprechend hydrierten Imidazo[1,5-a]imidazolen, Imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazepinen und Imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazocinen (9a-f), die im Verhalten gegenuber Nucleophilen und in ihren spektroskopischen Eigenschaften den (7,8-Dihydro-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-yl)-cyanamiden (3) [1] vergleichbar sind. The reaction of the 2-(ω-aminoalkyl)imidazoles 4a-f with N-cyanodi-phenylimidocarbonate (7) leads to appropriately hydrogenated imidazo-[1,5-a]imidazoles, imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazepines and imidazo[1,2-c][1,3]diazocines (9a-f), which are similar to (7,8-dihydroimidazo)[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-yl)cyanamides (3)[1]…

1985

Abstract The reaction of ortho-lithiated N,N-dimethyl-1-arylethyl-amines with triphenyl- boron leads, with elimination of phenyllithium, to (R)-(−)-2,2,3-trimethyl-1,1-diphenyl -1H-2-azonia-1-borata-indene (1), 2,3-dihydro-1,1,2-trimethyl-3,3-diphenyl- 1H-2-azonia-3-borata-benz[e]indene (2) and 2,3-dihydro-2,2,3-trimethyl-1,1-diphenyl -1H-2-azonia-1-borata-benz[e]indene (3) with a strongB←N bond. 1, 2 and 3 are stable against oxygen, water and alcohols. Triarylboron compounds sensitive to the same reagents are formed by the reaction of triphenylboron with some aryllithium compounds substituted with electron-donating groups.
