Highly Robust but Surface-Active : An N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Stabilized Au25 Nanocluster
2019
Surface organic ligands play a critical role in stabilizing atomically precise metal nanoclusters in solutions. However, it is still challenging to prepare highly robust ligated metal nanoclusters that are surface-active for liquid-phase catalysis without any pre-treatment. Now, an N-heterocyclic carbene-stabilized Au25 nanocluster with high thermal and air stabilities is presented as a homogenous catalyst for cycloisomerization of alkynyl amines to indoles. The nanocluster, characterized as [Au25(iPr2-bimy)10Br7]2+ (iPr2-bimy=1,3-diisopropylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene) (1), was synthesized by direct reduction of AuSMe2Cl and iPr2-bimyAuBr with NaBH4 in one pot.

Efficient Capture of Organic Dyes and Crystallographic Snapshots by a Highly Crystalline Amino-Acid-Derived Metal-Organic Framework
2018
The presence of residual organic dyes in water resources or wastewater treatment systems, derived mainly from effluents of different industries, is a major environmental problem with no easy solution. Herein, an ecofriendly, water-stable metal-organic framework was prepared from a derivative of the natural amino acid l-serine. Its functional channels are densely decorated with highly flexible l-serine residues bearing hydroxyl groups. The presence of such a flexible and functional environment within the confined environment of the MOF leads to efficient removal of different organic dyes from water: Pyronin Y, Auramine O, Methylene Blue and Brilliant Green, as unveiled by unprecedented snaps…
Aurophilicity as a cofactor in crystal engineering. Dicyanoaurate(I) anion as a building block in a novel Co(II)–Au(I) bimetallic assembly
2002
A 2D grid-shaped cyanide-bridged Co(II)–Au(I) bimetallic coordination polymer, [Co(DMF)2{Au(CN)2}2], has been prepared from the [Au(CN)2]2 building block; sheets associate pair-wise by aurophilic interactions and the compound exhibits zeolite-like properties.

Über Hydroxy‐linolsäuremethylester und die Umsetzung von Linolsäuremethylester mit N‐Bromsuccinimid
1962
Hydroxy-linolsauremethylester wird durch selektive Reduktion von Linolsauremethylester-hydroperoxyd mit Na-Sulfit u. a. dargestellt. Die Autoxydation des Hydroxy-linolsauremethylesters verlauft nicht autokatalytisch und ist nach Aufnahme von 1 Mol Sauerstoff pro Mol Substanz nahezu beendet. Die Reaktionsprodukte sind relative niedermolekular. Die Reaktion von Linolsauremethylester mit N-Bromsuccinimid konnte durch Umsetzung des instabilen Reaktionsproduktes mit Silbernitrat weitgehend aufgeklart werden. About Hydroxy Methyl Linoleate and the Reaction of Methyl Linoleate with N-Bromosuccinimide Hydroxy methyl linoleate is prepared by selective reduction of methyl linoleate hydroperoxyde with…
Über die autoxydation des syndiotaktischen polypropylens
1964
Bei der Autoxydation des syndiotaktischen Polypropylens in Losung lost ein monofunktioneller Zerfall der entstehenden Hydroperoxidgruppen den Kettenstart und die Autokatalyse der Radikalkettenreaktion aus. Die Ergebnisse bestatigen die Vorstellungen uber den Aufbau syndiotaktischer Polymer. Mit Hilfe der Autoxydation ist eine Unterscheidung zwischen syndiotaktischem und isotaktischem Polypropylen moglich. Chain initiation and autocatalysis of the radical chain reaction in the autoxidation of syndiotactic polypropylene is produced by the monofunctional decomposition of the hydroperoxide groups formed. The results confirm the conceptions on the structure of syndiotactic polymers. Autoxidation…
Die autoxydation von linolsäuremethylesterhydroperoxyd. Über die autoxydation ungesättigter verbindungen. XIII. Mitteilung
1961
Linolsauremethylesterhydroperoxyd wurde mit Hilfe der O'KEEFFE-Verteilung aus autoxydiertem Linolsauremethylester isoliert. Die Autoxydation dieses Hydroperoxydes verlauft rascher als die des Linolsaureesters. Die Reaktion verlaft aber nicht autokatalytisch und ist nach Aufnahme von 1 Mol Sauerstoff pro Mol Hydroperoxyd praktisch beendet; die Hydroperoxydgruppen bleiben dabei zum grosten Teil erhalten, die konjugierten Doppelbindungen verschwinden. Die Aktivierungsenergie dieser Reaktion ist um 3 kcal/Mol kleiner als die der Autoxydation des Linolsauremethylesters. Es wird ein Mechanismus vorgeschlagen, bei dem das Linolsauremethylesterhydroperoxyd hauptsachlich in biomolekularer Startreakt…
Front propagation in the one-dimensional autocatalyticA+B→2Areaction with decay
1999
We consider front propagation in the autocatalytic scheme $A+\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{B}2A,$ where we also allow the A particles to decay, $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{A}0,$ with a constant decay rate $\ensuremath{\beta}.$ In a one dimensional, discrete, situation the A domain moves as a pulse, and its dynamics differs from what is found in higher dimensions. Thus the velocity of the pulse tends to a finite value when $\ensuremath{\beta}$ approaches from below the critical value ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c},$ at which pulses die out. On the other hand, when approaching ${\ensuremath{\beta}}_{c}$ from above, the mean lifetime of the pulse grows as $T\ensuremath{\propto}(\ensu…
p62: Friend or Foe? Evidences for OncoJanus and NeuroJanus Roles
2020
p62 is a versatile protein involved in the delicate balance between cell death and survival, which is fundamental for cell fate decision in the context of both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. As an autophagy adaptor, p62 recognizes polyubiquitin chains and interacts with LC3, thereby targeting the selected cargo to the autophagosome with consequent autophagic degradation. Beside this function, p62 behaves as an interactive hub in multiple signalling including those mediated by Nrf2, NF-κB, caspase-8, and mTORC1. The protein is thus crucial for the control of oxidative stress, inflammation and cell survival, apoptosis, and metabolic reprogramming, respectively. As a multifunctional pr…
[3]Rotaxanes and [3]pseudorotaxanes with a rigid two-bidentate chelate axle threaded through two coordinating rings
2009
New [3]rotaxanes and [3]pseudorotaxanes have been synthesised using the “gathering and threading” effect of copper(I). By using click chemistry as the “stoppering” reaction, a good yield of the [3]rotaxane was obtained, either as a dicopper complex or as a metal-free compound after demetallation. The axle contains a central rigid aromatic block incorporating two bidentate chelates, and the threaded macrocycles are 30-membered rings. A model dicopper(I) [3]pseudorotaxane whose axle was end-functionalised by triisopropylsilyl groups could be crystallised and studied by X-ray diffraction. A particularly attractive structure was obtained showing a “slanted” geometry for the two rings and the ax…
