A novel Cu(II) dimer containing oxime-hydrazone Schiff base ligands with an unusual mode of coordination: Study of magnetic, autoreduction and soluti…

2013

Abstract Synthesis of a new hydrazone based Schiff base ligand, 3-methylpyrazole-5-carbohydrazone of 2,3-butanedione monoxime (HL) is reported. The reaction of Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O with HL in any ratio in ethanol affords the dinuclear complex [CuL(EtOH)]2(ClO4)2·2H2O (1). An unusual coordination mode of the ligand was observed, in which the ligand forms stable six and five membered chelate rings around the metal centres without enolization of the carbonyl group of the hydrazone moiety. The same coordination behavior of the ligand was observed in its cobalt(III) complex. The reaction of CoCl2·6H2O in methanol with the ligand HL affords the mononuclear complex [CoL2]Cl (2). Both 1 and 2 were charac…

Alkyl and Aryl Substituted Corroles. 1. Synthesis and Characterization of Free Base and Cobalt Containing Derivatives. X-ray Structure of (Me4Ph5Cor)…

2001

The synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and electrochemistry of six different alkyl- and aryl-substituted Co(III) corroles are presented. The investigated compounds contain methyl, ethyl, phenyl, or substituted phenyl groups at the eight β-positions of the corrole macrocycle and four derivatives also contain a phenyl group at the 10-meso position of the macrocycle. Each cobalt corrole undergoes four reversible oxidations in CH2Cl2 containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate and exists as a dimer in its singly and doubly oxidized forms. The difference in potential between the first two oxidations is associated with the degree of interaction between the two corrole units of the dimer …

High-Yield Synthesis of 20-, 24-, and 28-Membered Macropentolide, -hexolide, and -heptolide, Respectively, from (R)- or (S)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid un…

1988

The macrocyclic pentolide 1, hexolide 2, and heptolide 3 constitute ca. 80% of the oligomers formed in ca. 50% yield from enantiomerically pure 3-hydroxybutanoic acid under Yamaguchi's macrolactonization conditions. The FAB mass spectra of the MH+, M Na+, and MCs+ are reported (Figs. 2, 3, 5, and 6). No cyclic tetramer is detected. The 1H-NMR spectra of the cyclic oligomers, of the monomer, and of the polymer (PHB) are very similar (Fig. 4). Directed synthesis of the open-chain dimer and tetramer of 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and attempted cyclization do not lead to the isolation of the cyclic tetramer.

Impact of the reaction pathway on the final product in on-surface synthesis

2020

International audience; On-surface synthesis provides a very promising strategy for creating stable functional structures on surfaces. In the past, classical reactions known from solution synthesis have been successfully transferred onto a surface. Due to the presence of the surface, on-surface synthesis provides the potential of directing the reaction pathway in a manner that might not be accessible in classical solution synthesis. In this work, we present evidence for an acetylene polymerization from a terminal alkyne monomer deposited onto calcite (10.4). Strikingly, although the dimer forms on the surface as well, we find no indication for diacetylene polymerization. This is in sharp co…

Kinetics of alkaline phosphatase from pig kidney. Influence of complexing agents on stability and activity

1976

Metal ion-complexing agents, like KCN, EDTA etc., inactivate alkaline phosphatase of pig kidney. This inactivation is reversible at low concentrations of the complexing agents and irreversible at high concentrations. The reversible inhibition is probably due to removal of Zn2+ ions from the active site, where they are necessary for catalytic action, whereas the irreversible inhibition results from the removal of Zn2+ ions necessary for preservation of the structure. The inactivation is pseudo-first order. It depends on the concentration, size and charge of the complexing agents. β-Glycerophosphate and Mg2+ ions protect the enzyme from inactivation by complexing agents. Quantitative examinat…

The thermal degradation behavior of head-to-head (H-H) and head-to-tail (H-T) polystyrenes and poly(vinylcyclohexane)s has been investigated by direct pyrolysis in a mass spectrometer. Both H-H and H-T isomers show only small differences in their initial temperatures of decomposition but remarkably different degradation processes. Whereas H-T polystyrene decomposes in accordance with earlier investigations mainly by a radicalic depolymerization into the monomer and yields only a small amount of dimer and trimer, the H-H polystyrene shows no unzipping and only a statistic degradation into oligomeric styrenes. The formation of stilbene is a diagnostic reaction of H-H polystyrene. The pyrolysi…

Lichtstreuungsmessungen an oligomeren; lösungsverhalten von polypropylenglykol

1967

Es wird uber Lichtstreuungsmessungen an Polypropylenglykolen mit Molekulargewichten von M = 400 bis 4000, an monomerem und dimerem Propylenglykol, an Diphenyl, Tristearin und Pentaerythrittetrastearat in Losung berichtet. Die molekulareinheitlichen Substanzen dienten zur Untersuchung der Leistungsfahigkeit der Lichtstreuungstechnik im Bereich niedriger Molekulargewichte. Fur den CABANNES-Faktor und das Brechungsinkrement wurde eine Abhangigkeit von Molekulargewicht und Konzentration gefunden. Die Streulichtmessungen an den polymerhomologen Propylenglykolen in Verbindung mit Viskositatsmessungen in Aceton und Benzol wurden zur Charakterisierung des Losungsverhaltens verwendet. Es ergab sich,…

2017

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C6H4Cl6O2·0.5H2O, contains one molecule of 1,1,1,6,6,6-hexachlorohex-3-yne-2,5-diol and half a water molecule located on a twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, pairs of hexachlorohexynediol molecules form centrosymmetric dimers connectedviapairwise O—H...O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are connected by water molecules, resulting in layers parallel to theabplane.

Why Are Some Enzymes Dimers? Flexibility and Catalysis in Thermotoga maritima Dihydrofolate Reductase

2019

[Image: see text] Dihydrofolate reductase from Thermotoga maritima (TmDFHFR) is a dimeric thermophilic enzyme that catalyzes the hydride transfer from the cofactor NADPH to dihydrofolate less efficiently than other DHFR enzymes, such as the mesophilic analogue Escherichia coli DHFR (EcDHFR). Using QM/MM potentials, we show that the reduced catalytic efficiency of TmDHFR is most likely due to differences in the amino acid sequence that stabilize the M20 loop in an open conformation, which prevents the formation of some interactions in the transition state and increases the number of water molecules in the active site. However, dimerization provides two advantages to the thermophilic enzyme: …

Cyclic esters of aliphatic diacids with pyrocatechol and hydroquinone

1985

Cyclic esters of adipic acid, suberic acid and sebacic acid were prepared by reaction of the acid dichlorides and pyrocatechol or hydroquinone in benzene under high dilution conditions. While only the cyclic dimers could be obtained from hydroquinone, pyrocatechol formed cyclic monomers as well as cyclic dimers (and also a cyclic dimer with succinic acid). The structure of all compounds was confirmed by1H-NMR- and mass spectra. The crystal structures of the pyrocatechol esters were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
