Poly(9,10-dihydroanthrylenetrimethylene) (2) comprises a novel chain-type structure in which 9,10-dihydroanthracene units are linked by flexible spacer groups. Upon dehydrogenation with sulfur at elevated temperature, polymer 2 is converted into the corresponding polyanthrylene system 3. NMR- and UV-spectroscopic data provide firm evidence for the dehydrogenation process. The polymer 3 was subjected to reduction with active lithium, and the resulting polyanions were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and by quenching experiments. It appears that each anthracene unit of the chain can be charged with two electrons.

Selective access to either a doubly boron-doped tetrabenzopentacene or an oxadiborepin from the same precursor

2019

Depending on the solvent, a brominated arylborane gave the multiple helicene B2-TBPA (pyridine) or the oxadiborepin ODBE (THF) after intramolecular Yamamoto coupling.

Extraction of short peptides using supported liquid membranes

2002

Studies of extraction of short peptides using supported liquid membranes containing Aliquat 336 as a carrier are presented. The extractions are carried out from an aqueous donor phase with pH ≥ 10 to an acceptor phase containing salt. The mass transfer is driven by the gradient of salt concentration between these phases. The extraction efficiency is dependent on the composition of water phases, the type and concentration of counter-ion in the stagnant acceptor phase and the flow rate of the donor phase. Moreover, it is also influenced by the concentration and structure of the examined peptides.

Wirkung der Insektizide Allethrin, Lindan und Jacutin-Fogetten-Sublimat auf den photosynthetischen Elektronentransport

1977

Summary During our studies of Hill-reactions of isolated chloroplasts we observed an inhibition of electron transport after an application of the smoke of «Jacutine-Fogetten» in the plant growth chamber. Therefore we tested the influence of the insecticides Lindane (Gammexan), the sublimate formed by the fumigation of «Jacutin Fogetten», and of Allethrin on the photosynthetic electron transport reactions of PS II and PS I. 39 μ M Lindane inhibits the basal, coupled and uncoupled electron transport to ferricyanide of broken chloroplasts isolated from leaves of Pisum sativum up to 35%. A higher inhibitory effect with higher concentrations is limited by the low water solubility of Lindane. On …

Palladium-Catalyzed Reaction of Boronic Acids with Chiral and Racemic ?-Bromo Sulfoxides.

2005

Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of racemic α-bromo sulfoxides with boronic acids are carried out in either aqueous or nonaqueous medium with formation of a new C sp3−C sp2 bond. The arylation of chiral α-bromo sulfoxides occurs without racemization. The cross-coupling reaction is general and gives high yields with arylboronic acids substituted with either donor or acceptor groups but gives poor results with heteroarylboronic acids. The best yields are obtained using degassed solvents and CsF instead of aqueous base. The use of aqueous base and the presence of oxygen favor the homocoupling side reaction.

Oxygen Availability, Energy Metabolism, and Metabolic Rate in Invertebrates and Vertebrates

1988

It has often been emphasized that primitive life originated in an environment devoid of oxygen. The first eukaryotic cells, however, appeared some 1.4 billion years ago when the earth’s atmosphere had already turned from a mildly reducing to an oxidizing one by the photosynthetic action of prokaryotes that used H20 as reducing agent (see Harold 1986, for review). The presence of free oxygen obviously was a major force shaping the evolution of eukaryotic cells. As a consequence all animals are primarily aerobes, using respiratory chains with oxygen as electron acceptor (oxidant) and membrane-bound ATP synthases for the production of ATP.

Performance of dye-sensitized solar cells based on novel sensitizers bearing asymmetric double D−π−A chains with arylamines as donors

2012

Abstract Three novel, metal-free organic sensitizers bearing two asymmetric double donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) chains ( DC1 - 3 ), each, and a reference dye containing single D-π-A chain ( SC ) with cyanoacrylic acid as electron acceptor are synthesized. Their photophysical, electrochemical properties and the performances of the corresponding dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are further investigated. The dyes, DC1, DC2 and DC3 contain one chain with diphenylamine and another chain with carbazole or phenothiazine as electron donor, while diphenylamine is only employed as electron donor in SC . Compared to the inferior solar energy to electricity conversion efficiency ( η ) of 2.82%, 4.66% and…

Crystal structure of the chalcone (E)-3-(furan-2-yl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one

2015

The crystal packing of the compound is described by an inter­molecular arrangement with the mol­ecules as inter­laced layers in a zigzag fashion, denoting inter­acting self-complementary dimers mainly by the localization of weak hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail arrangement.

Donor-Acceptor Polythiophene Copolymers with Tunable Acceptor content for Photoelectric Conversion Devices

2004

The synthesis and characterization of a new series of substituted polythiophenes containing an electron acceptor anthraquinone moiety in the side chain are reported. The acceptor molar content was varied by the co-polymerization of both alkylthiophene and thiophene bearing anthraquinone monomers in different ratios. NMR analysis shows a good correlation between the monomer feed composition at the beginning of the polymerization and the actual unit composition of the backbone. The conjugation length and the chemical composition of the copolymers as a function of the molecular weight have been studied by size exclusion chromatography. Small angle X-ray scattering and UV-Vis absorption spectra…

The effect of 2,2-dicyanovinyl groups as electron acceptors in push–pull substituted oligo(1,4-phenylenevinylene)s

2003

Abstract The newly synthesized oligo(1,4-phenylenevinylene) series 2a–d with bis(2-hexyloctyl)amino groups as electron donors and 2,2-dicyanovinyl groups as electron acceptors represents conjugated oligomers with strong push–pull effects. Due to the decrease of the intramolecular charge transfer with increasing numbers of repeat units (n=1–4), the long-wavelength transition shows a particularly great hypsochromic shift for the extension of the chromophore.
