Die Isomerisierung des Linolsäuremethylesters mit Rhodiumkomplexen
1977
Die isolierten Doppelbindungen des Linolsauremethylesters konnen mit Rhodiumkomplexen und Zinn(II)chlorid-Dihydrat als Katalysatorsystem konjugiert werden. Die Abhangigkeit der Reaktion von verschiedenen Phosphor- und Stickstoffliganden am Rhodium wurde untersucht. Tri-p-tolylphosphin als Ligand ergab den aktivsten Katalysator, der auch noch bei 25°C eine wirkungsvolle Isomerisierung bewirkt. The Isomerisation of Linoleic Acid Methyl Ester with Rhodium Complexes The isolated double bonds of the linoleic acid methyl ester were conjugated with rhodium complexes plus SnCl2 · 2H2O as catalysts. The dependence of the reaction on phosphorous and nitrogen ligands was studied. The most active catal…
Designing conjugated microporous polymers for visible light-promoted photocatalytic carbon–carbon double bond cleavage in aqueous medium
2018
The production of valuable carbonyl compounds directly from alkenes via carbon–carbon double (CC) bond cleavage is a highly important reaction. As a promising alternative to traditional metal-catalyzed thermal reaction conditions, photocatalysis offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable synthetic strategy. However, most photocatalysts used so far were homogeneous, molecular and transition metal-based catalytic systems. Here, we report a structural design strategy of conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) as a class of metal-free, heterogeneous, stable and reusable photocatalysts for visible light-promoted CC bond cleavage reaction. Via different electron donor and acceptor combinat…
Chemical conjugation of dexamethasone to a polyaspartamide and in vitro evaluation studies
2004
Two macromolecular conjugates of dexamethasone containing different drug amounts were synthesized using PHEA as the polymeric carrier and a succinic group as spacer. The content of linked drug was equal to 25.3% w/w (conjugate A) and 12.7% w/w (conjugate B). Both polymeric conjugates, unlike the free drug, were water-soluble and the amount of unlinked drug was evaluated to be approximately about 0.01% w/w. Both conjugates were relatively stable in vitro at pH 7.4 whereas in the presence of esterase only the conjugate B was able to release drug under the used experimental conditions. This dissimilar behavior has been attributed to the distinct macromolecular conformations assumed in aqueous …
Noncovalent Saccharide Recognition by Means of a Tetrakis(bile acid)-Porphyrin Conjugate: Selectivity, Cooperation, and Stability
2010
Molecular recognition of Glu, Glc 2 -Glc 6 and Mal 3 by a tetrakis(bile acid)―porphyrin conjugate has been studied by using ESI-FTICR mass spectrometry. The bile acid conjugate was observed to form 1:1 noncovalent complexes with saccharides. The conjugate was found to have size-selectivity towards saccharides with three or more glucose residues. The Glc 3 and Glc 4 also formed kinetically the most stable complexes. The electron capture dissociation (ECD) experiments revealed that in complexation of an oligosaccharide three glucose residues interact with the bile acid conjugate, whereas additional glucose residues are susceptible to fragmentation. The ECD results also showed the significance…
Design, synthesis and photovoltaic properties of [60]fullerene based molecular materials
2005
Abstract The possibility to use new organic semiconductor materials, in place of silicon wafers, in the fabrication of photovoltaic devices on substrates offer the prospect of lower manufacturing costs, particularly for large area applications. Thus, one of the most promising areas in fullerene research involves its potential application, mixed with conjugated polymers, in mimicking photosynthesis and in the related solar energy conversion. The tendency to phase segregation in blends of C60 derivatives and conjugated polymers has to be optimized to improve both charge photogeneration and transport in photovoltaic devices. In order to optimize device performances, a great deal of work has be…
Electronic communication through pi-conjugated wires in covalently linked porphyrin/C60 ensembles
2005
Novel photo- and electroactive triads, in which pi-conjugated p-phenylenevinylene oligomers (oPPVs) of different length are connected to a photoexcited-state electron donor (i.e., zinc tetraphenylporphyrin) and an electron acceptor (i.e., C(60)), were designed, synthesized, and tested as electron-transfer model systems. A detailed physicochemical investigation, concentrating mainly on long-range charge separation and charge recombination and kinetics, revealed small attenuation factors beta of 0.03+/-0.005 A(-1). Energy matching between the HOMO levels of C(60) and oPPVs emerged as a key parameter for supporting molecular-wire-like behavior: It favors rapid and efficient electron or hole in…
Pentadecamer 2,5-Dipropoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene
2002
The conjugated, all-(E)-configured pentadecamer 2,5-dipropoxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene 1j was prepared by a multistep synthesis on the basis of hydroquinone. The procedure consists of a general method for the repetitive extension of oligo(phenylenvinylene) chains by two styryl units (7a ⇄ 10 ⇄ 12 ⇄ 14). The relatively rigid oligomer 1j represents a molecular wire of about 100 A. The absorption of 1j provides a proof for the convergence theory for electronic properties of conjugated oligomers with increasing number of repeat units. The corresponding conjugated polymer 1p with the same substitution matches the values which were extrapolated from the oligomer series 1a−1j. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmb…
Loss of Contact-Dependent Inhibition of Growth in Chemically Transformed Fibroblasts
1988
The plasma membrane has been recognized as an important regulatory unit of mammalian cells during determination, differentiation, and social behaviour of individual cells within various tissues (1–4). On the molecular level, plasma membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids have been shown to be involved in these processes (1–4). Density-dependent growth of non-transformed cells in vitro has been proposed to be regulated by secreted inhibitory compounds (5–7), by the cell’s shape (8) or by diffusion boundary layers (9). On the other hand, specific cell-cell interactions via cell membrane molecules were found to be of great importance for the contact-dependent inhibition of growth (10–16) and co…
Antitumor Vaccines Based on Synthetic Mucin Glycopeptides
2011
The interest in tumor-associated glycoconjugate antigens was particularly initiated by Springer, who published in 1984 that glycoproteins on the outer cell-membrane of epithelial tumor cells have an altered glycosylation consisting of the Thomsen-Friedenreich (T-) antigen and its precursor the TN-antigen structure (Springer 1984). He and his coworkers also had found that monoclonal antibodies induced with glycoproteins from tumor cell membranes showed cross-reactivity to desialylated glycophorin A. It was concluded from these observations that the T-and TN-glycoproteins on the epithelial tumor cells must be structurally related to asialoglycophorin A (Springer et al. 1983) (Fig. 11.1a). Gly…
Practical Synthesis of Vinyl-Substitutedp-Phenylenevinylene Oligomers and Their Triethoxysilyl Derivatives
2001
Luminescent semiconducting organic compounds are widely used as active layers in electro-optical devices. Apart from conjugated polymers, monodisperse oligomers also represent attractive materials. The synthesis of stilbenoid oligomers with polymerizable end groups is presented. Oligo(phenylenevinylene)s with terminal vinyl groups 17–19 are prepared in good yields by Horner–Emmons olefinations or by the Heck reaction of the iodo-substituted oligomers 15, 16 with compressed ethene. Triethoxysilyl groups can be linked via rigid 1,2-vinylene units to the chromophores 26–30, either in the direct reaction of 14, 24 with silanes 21, 22 or by cross-metathesis of 17–19 with the vinylsilanes 21, 22 …
