Complexation behaviour of hexadentate ligands possessing N2O4and N2O2S2cores: differential reactivity towards Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Zn(ii) salts and str…

2004

Reactions of divalent metal salts of Co, Ni and Zn with 1,2-di(salicylaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L1) and 1,2-di(naphthaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L2), having N2O2S2 cores, and 1,2-di(O-salicylaldimino-o-hydroxyphenyl) ethane (H2L3), having a N2O4 core, have been explored. Out of the three ligands and the nine products obtained from the corresponding reactions, two ligands and seven products were crystallographically characterized. However, all the ligands and the products were characterized by analytical and spectral methods. Reaction of H2L1 and H2L2 with Co(II) salts results in oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond to produce a Co(III) product bound to two dissimilar tridentate li…

Novel Phases in the V-P-O Catalytic System from Oxovanadium Hydrogenphosphate Precursors

1994

ABSTRACTSeveral biphasic VOP04/(VO)2P2O7 redox partners seem to be active in the catalytic cycles involved in the mild oxidation of simple hydrocarbons to maleic anhydride. The present X-ray time resolved thermal-diffractometric study reveals the existence of a new anhydrous variety of the oxidized form, ω-VOPO4, which may appear as an intermediate in the formation of the well known β-VOPO4. This new phase only remains well crystallized at relatively high temperatures, and when it is allowed to cool down in wet air VOPO4·2H2O results. In turn, another well defined phase, VOPO4·1.58H2O, can be recognized in the course of the hydration process.

A PM3 study of the molecular mechanism for the cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and protonated pyridine-imine derivatives

2001

Abstract The molecular mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction between cyclopentadiene (CP) and three pyridine-imine derivatives has been studied by means of PM3 semiempirical method. The role of the protonation, endo/exo and π-facial stereoselectivity are analyzed and discussed. In neutral conditions the cycloaddition between CP and the pyridine-imine takes place along a concerted mechanism. Protonation on both nitrogen atoms brings out that the reaction pathway takes with a very low barrier along a stepwise mechanism. PM3 results are capable to find the key factors governing this chemical reaction and to explain the experimental outcome.

Manipulating mtDNA in vivo reprograms metabolism via novel response mechanisms.

2019

Mitochondria have been increasingly recognized as a central regulatory nexus for multiple metabolic pathways, in addition to ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Here we show that inducing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) stress in Drosophila using a mitochondrially-targeted Type I restriction endonuclease (mtEcoBI) results in unexpected metabolic reprogramming in adult flies, distinct from effects on OXPHOS. Carbohydrate utilization was repressed, with catabolism shifted towards lipid oxidation, accompanied by elevated serine synthesis. Cleavage and translocation, the two modes of mtEcoBI action, repressed carbohydrate rmetabolism via two different mechanisms. DNA cleavage activ…

Equilibrium properties of the reaction H2⇌ 2H by classical molecular dynamics simulations

2013

We have developed a classical molecular dynamics model for the hydrogen dissociation reaction, containing two- and three-particle potentials derived by Kohen, Tully and Stillinger. Two fluid densities were investigated for a wide range of temperatures, and 11 fluid densities were considered for one temperature. We report the temperature range where the degree of reaction is significant, and also where a stable molecule dominates the population in the energy landscape. The three-particle potential, which is essential for the reaction model and seldom studied, together with the two-particle interaction lead to a large effective excluded volume diameter of the molecules in the molecular fluid.…

Introducing randomness in the analysis of chemical reactions: An analysis based on random differential equations and probability density functions

2021

[EN] In this work we consider a particular randomized kinetic model for reaction-deactivation of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. We apply the Random Variable Transformation technique to obtain the first probability density function of the solution stochastic process under general conditions. From the rst probability density function, we can obtain fundamental statistical information, such as the mean and the variance of the solution, at every instant time. The transformation considered in the application of the Random Variable Transformation technique is not unique. Then, the first probability density function can take different expressions, although essentially equivalent in terms of comp…

<title>Laser-pulse-induced chemical reactions and surface patterning in Co-Si and Co-Ti-Si films: investigations by x-ray diffraction and atomi…

2001

X-ray diffraction patterns reflected from the laser treated crystalline CoSi2 layer, the measurements of surface electrical resistance and atomic force microscopy micrographs confirm the 'generation-diffusion-deformational instabilities' model of formation of defect ordered structures of various types. The CO2 laser induced decrease of the thermal coefficient of resistance to zero in Co-Ti-Si films is realized. X-ray diffraction studies of the treated films confirm that the obtained (alpha) changes with number of laser pulses are caused due to solid phase reaction Co + 2Si equals CoSi2 and 5Ti + 3Si equals Ti5Si3.© (2001) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

ansa-[(tert-Butylamino)(isodicyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilane]Zr(NMe2)2prepared by an amine-elimination reaction

2003

An amine-elimination reaction was used to obtain the title compound, i.e. (N-tert-butyl-N-[[(1,2,3,3a,7a-eta)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1H-inden-2-yl]dimethylsilyl]amido-kappaN)bis(N-methylmethanaminato-kappaN)zirconium(IV) or [isodiCpSiMe(2)N-tert-butyl]Zr(NMe(2))(2) (Cp is cyclopentadienyl), [Zr(C(16)H(25)NSi)(C(2)H(6)N)(2)], in very good yield. Treatment of isodiCpHSiMe(2)NH-tert-butyl with Zr(NMe(2))(4) leads to the formation of a yellow solid that can be purified by sublimation. The single-crystal structure of the product shows the exo complexation of the isodicyclopentadienyl ligand to the Zr atom. The Cp portion of this ligand is bonded to the Zr atom in a eta(5) manner, with a …

Chapter 9 The electrophilicity index in organic chemistry

2007

Abstract We review in this chapter the applications of theoretical scales of global and local electrophilicity to rationalize the reactivity and selectivity for a significant number of reactions in organic chemistry. The model is based on the global electrophilicity index, formerly introduced by Maynard et al. and further formalized by Parr et al. The global electrophilicity index categorizes, within a unique absolute scale, the propensity of electron acceptors to acquire additional electronic charge from the environment. The local extension of this index provides useful information about the active sites of electrophiles, thereby allowing the characterization of the intramolecular selectiv…
