Influence of the polymerization step alone on oxygen affinity and cooperativity during production of hyperpolymers from native hemoglobins with cross…

1994

The aim of this study was to find out how the polymerization per se changes oxygen affinity (P50) and cooperativity (n50) of various soluble huge hyperpolymers prepared from native hemoglobins by crosslinking. Increase of cooperativity would be expected considering natural hemoglobin networks. Those hyperpolymers with molecular weights of some 10(6) g/mol are candidates for artificial oxygen-carrying blood additives rather than volume substitutes. Human and bovine hemoglobin reacted with several crosslinkers (2,5-diisothiocyanatobenzenesulfonate (DIBS); 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2, 2'-disulfonate (DIDS); 1,3-butadiene diepoxide (BUDE); glutaraldehyde (GDA)) in concentrated (case 1) and …

Isothiocyanates from plants of the order Brassicales are considered promising cancer chemotherapeutic phytochemicals. However, their selective cytotoxicity on liver cancer has been barely researched. Therefore, in the present study, we systematically studied the chemotherapeutic potency of 4-methylthiobutyl isothiocyanate (MTBITC). Selective toxicity was investigated by comparing its effect on liver cancer cells and their chemoresistant subpopulations to normal primary hepatocytes and liver tissue slices. Additionally, in a first assessment, the in vivo tolerability of MTBITC was investigated in mice. Growth arrest at G2/M and apoptosis induction was evident in all in vitro cancer models tr…

2,3,5,6-Tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz)-containing iron(II) complexes: Syntheses and crystal structures

2007

Abstract The preparation and crystal structure of two iron(II) complexes of formula PPh4-mer-[Fe(tppz)(CN)3] · 7H2O (1) and [Fe(tppz)2][Fe(NCS)4] (2) [tppz = 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine; PPh 4 + = tetraphenylphosphonium cation ] are reported here. The structure of 1 consists of mononuclear mer-tricyano[2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine]ferrate(II) anions, tetraphenylphosphonium cations and crystallization water molecules. Three carbon atoms from three cyanide groups in a mer arrangement and three nitrogen atoms from a tridentate tppz ligand build a somewhat distorted octahedral surrounding around the iron atom in 1. The values of the Fe–C [1.925(6)–1.947(5) A] and Fe–N [1.870(4)–1…

Vergleichende kinetische untersuchungen über die basenkatalysierte reaktion von oligomethylen- und oligoäthylenglykolen mit phenylisocyanat

1961

Die durch Triathylamin katalysierte Reaktion von Oligomethylenglykolen und von Oligoathylenglykolen mit Phenylisocyanat in Dioxan bei 25°C wurde untersucht. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit innerhalb der homologen bzw. polymerhomologen Reihe ist unter den angewandten Bedingungen unabhangig von der Kettenlange und der chemischen Struktur der Kette. The reaction of oligomethylene glycols (I) and oligooxyethylene glycols (II) with phenyl isocyanate in dioxane at 25°C. catalyzed by triethylamine was investigated. Under the applied conditions the reaction rate within the homologous and polymerhomologous series is independent of the chain length and the chemical constitution of the chain.

An original 1D Cu–Co heterometallic compound: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties

2006

A novel heterobimetallic system, 1∞[LCuIICoII(NCS)2] (1), was obtained by reacting the neutral mononuclear complex [LCu] with cobalt(II) acetate in the presence of potassium thiocyanate (L is the dianion of the Schiff base resulting from the 2 ∶ 1 condensation of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde with 1,3-propanediamine). The crystallographic investigation of 1 reveals a one-dimensional alternating zig-zag chain-like structure, made of dinuclear {LCuCo} units linked by thiocyanate bridges. The copper(II) ion is pentacoordinate to the N2O2 donor set of the Schiff base ligand in the basal plane, with the apical position occupied by the sulfur atom. The cobalt ion displays a strongly distorted (4 + 2) …

Synthesis, structural aspects and magnetic properties of an unusual 2D thiocyanato-bridged cobalt(II)–Schiff base network

2010

Abstract A new two-dimensional (2D) thiocyanato-bridged cobalt(II) network formulated as [LCo2(NCS)2]n (1), has been synthesized with the Schiff base ligand N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidenimino)-1,3-diaminopropane (H2L) and thiocyanate anions. This novel layered compound has been completely characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy and the structure has been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structure of 1 consists of a doubly phenoxo-bridged dimer comprising two different cobalt(II) centers with different coordination geometries (octahedral and tetrahedral). The 2D network is accomplished by bridging thiocyanate ligands, connecting the dimeric…

Identification and Evaluation of Hazardous Pyrolysates in Bio-Based Rigid Polyurethane-Polyisocyanurate Foam Smoke

2021

In this study, rigid polyurethane (PU) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam samples made from renewable material (tall oil fatty acid) based polyols were analyzed by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) to obtain information about the full relative smoke content, with a focus on substance identification by their functional groups and hazardousness. The relative content of gaseous products produced during the thermal degradation was evaluated between the two samples, differenced by their assigned isocyanate (NCO) index value—150 and 300. The main thermal degradation components of the rigid PU-PIR foam were found to originate from the decomposition of isocyanate, primarily for…

Optical determination of pH on surfaces using immobilized Fluorescent dyes.

1993

The attachment of pH-sensitive Fluorescent dyes on to hydroxylapatite for measuring the pH of small volumes is described. Fluorescein and acridine were used, both activated with reactive functions, such as isothiocyanate or succinimidyl ester groups, to enhance the possibility of a covalent linkage to the surface. First investigations were carried out on synthetic hydroxylapatite as the surface material. After the preparation of a particular surface with the fluorescent dye, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies were employed for estimating the pH value of a solution applied to the surface. In this paper we present the results of our investigations done with both method…

Dynamic covalent urea bonds and their potential for development of self-healing polymer materials

2019

Self-healing polymer materials have drawn rapidly increasing interest over the last decade, and have been studied and used in an ever-increasing range of applications. Herein, we successfully make the covalent urea bond – a pinnacle of stability due to strong resonance effects – dynamic in nature through mediation of zinc salts. The dynamic covalent character of urea in the presence of zinc ions is confirmed through dissociation reaction experiments and quantum chemical calculations of small-molecule model urea compounds. In line with our experiments, the modelling results suggest that the presence of zinc ions speeds up the reaction of urea dissociation by two orders of magnitude via the f…
