La utilización de marfil de cachalote en el Calcolítico de Portugal

2013

Scientific analysis were undertaken within a research project concerning ivory objects from the Chalcolithic to Early Bronze Age of the Iberian Peninsula. In several of the analyses of objects from Portuguese Estremadura, especially V-perforated buttons, we could detect for the first time the presence of sperm whale ivory. This highlights the advantage and necessity of scientific analysis of ivory. It also clearly demonstrates that not all ivory used was ivory from African or Asian elephants, but we also did find ivory from the extinct Elephas antiquus, the hippopotamus and in this case sperm-whale. Thus, already in the Chalcolithic the raw material provenience was highly diverse, which in …

PV effect of fullerene/poly(3-hexylthiophene) blend sensitized by phthalocyanine having infrared absorption CT band

2008

An attempt was made to extend the photosensitivity spectral range of fullerene/poly(3-hexylthiophene) blend to NIR region by adding extra electron donor — hydroxygallium phthalocyanine (GaOHPc) with a strong and wide intermolecular charge transfer (CT) band around 830 nm. Multilayer cells of ITO/PEDOT: PSS/6 GaOHPc/P3HT: C61(CO2Et)2 have been prepared by spin coating with vacuum evaporated Al or In top electrodes. Significant photosensitivity of the cells was in 370–900 nm spectral range. However charge carrier photogeneration efficiency was 3 times higher for illumination in P3HT absorption band as compared with the GaOHPc CT band at 830 nm. But when GaOHPc was mixed in the blend forming P…

Abstract Developmental dyslexia is a specific learning disorder with impairments in reading and spelling acquisition. Apart from literacy problems, dyslexics show inefficient speech encoding and deficient novel word learning, with underlying problems in phonological processing and learning. These problems have been suggested to be related to deficient specialization of the left hemisphere for language processing. To examine this possibility, we tracked with magnetoencephalography (MEG) the activation of the bilateral temporal cortices during formation of neural memory traces for new spoken word forms in 7–8-year-old children with high familial dyslexia risk and in controls. The at-risk chil…

Estimating the decomposition of predictive information in multivariate systems

2015

In the study of complex systems from observed multivariate time series, insight into the evolution of one system may be under investigation, which can be explained by the information storage of the system and the information transfer from other interacting systems. We present a framework for the model-free estimation of information storage and information transfer computed as the terms composing the predictive information about the target of a multivariate dynamical process. The approach tackles the curse of dimensionality employing a nonuniform embedding scheme that selects progressively, among the past components of the multivariate process, only those that contribute most, in terms of co…

The Series of Molecular Conductors and Superconductors ET4[AFe(C2O4)3]·PhX (ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene; (C2O4)2– = oxalate; A+ = H3O+…

2011

An extensive series of radical salts formed by the organic donor bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET), the paramagnetic tris(oxalato)ferrate(III) anion [Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)](3-), and halobenzene guest molecules has been synthesized and characterized. The change of the halogen atom in this series has allowed the study of the effect of the size and charge polarization on the crystal structures and physical properties while keeping the geometry of the guest molecule. The general formula of the salts is ET(4)[A(I)Fe(C(2)O(4))(3)]·G with A/G = H(3)O(+)/PhF (1); H(3)O(+)/PhCl (2); H(3)O(+)/PhBr (3), and K(+)/PhI (4), (crystal data at room temperature: (1) monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 1…

Nucleophilic attack within Ge, Sn and Pb complexes containing Me2N(CH2)(3) - as a potential intramolecular donor ligand

1998

Abstract Thirteen tin compounds LxPhySnClz and LPh2SnPhX (x=1–4, y=0–3, z=0–2, XPh, F, Cl, Br, I, OPh), six germanium compounds LxPhyGeClz and four lead compounds LPh2PbPhX (XPh, Cl, Br, I) containing the potential intramolecular donor LMe2N(CH2)3—have been synthesized by Grignard reactions, redistribution, halogenation, exchange of halide and phenylation. Evidence for 1,5-chelation in which the donor Me2N intramolecularly attacks the Lewis-acidic atoms Ge, Sn or Pb is provided by six crystal structure determinations: Me2N(CH2)3SnPh2Cl, 5; Me2N(CH2)3SnPh2Br, 5a; Me2N(CH2)3SnPh2I, 5b; Me2N(CH2)3SnPh2OPh, 5d; Me2N(CH2)3SnPh3·HCl·H2O. 1a; Me2N(CH2)3PbPh2I, 17b), and by solution 13C, 119Sn a…

Synthesis and structural studies of 2-stannyl-substituted ferrocenylmethylamine and -phosphine derivatives 2-Me2RSnFcCH2Y (RMe, Cl; YNMe2, PPh2, P(…

1995

Abstract 2-(Trimethylstannyl)ferrocenylmethyldiphenylphosphine, 2-Me3SnFcCH2PPh2 (2a), was synthesized from 2-Me3SnFcCH2NMe2 (1a) and Ph2PH. Compound 2a is oxidized with H2O2 to 2-Me3SnFcCH2P(O)Ph2 (3a). Halogenation of 1a and 2a with Me2SnCl2 and 3a with HCl-diethyl ether yields the organotin monochlorides 2-Me3(Cl)SnFcCH2Y ( 1b , Y = NMe 2 ; 2b , Y = PPh 2 3b , Y = P ( O ) Ph 2 ) . Both crystal structure determinations and multinuclear magnetic resonance studies in solution reveal for 1b–3b molecular structures in which the tin atom approaches a trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordination as a consequence of an intramolecular Y Sn interaction. The donor strength of Y increases in the order PPh2

Trimeric Hemibastadin Congener from the Marine Sponge Ianthella basta

2012

The first naturally occurring trimeric hemibastadin congener, sesquibastadin 1 (1), and the previously reported bastadins 3, 6, 7, 11, and 16 (2-6) were isolated from the marine sponge Ianthella basta, collected in Indonesia. The structure of 1 was elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR measurements and by HRMS. Among all the isolated compounds, the linear sesquibastadin 1 (1) and bastadin 3 (2) showed the strongest inhibition rates for at least 22 protein kinases (IC(50) = 0.1-6.5 μM), while the macrocyclic bastadins (3-6) demonstrated a strong cytotoxic potential against the murine lymphoma cell line L5178Y (IC(50) = 1.5-5.3 μM).

Inclusion complexes of Cethyl-2-methylresorcinarene and pyridine N-oxides: breaking the C–I⋯−O–N+ halogen bond by host–guest complexation

2016

C ethyl-2-Methylresorcinarene forms host–guest complexes with aromatic N-oxides through multiple intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C–H⋯π interactions. The host shows conformational flexibility to accommodate 3-methylpyridine N-oxide, while retaining a crown conformation for 2-methyl- and 4-methoxypyridine N-oxides highlighting the substituent effect of the guest. N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide, a 6-membered ring aliphatic N-oxide with a methyl at the N-oxide nitrogen, is bound by the equatorial −N–CH3 group located deep in the cavity. 2-Iodopyridine N-oxide is the only guest that manifests intermolecular N–O⋯I–C halogen bond interactions, which are broken down by the host resulting i…

Mass spectra of halogenated esters. Part IX—methyl esters of 2-butenoic acids containing chlorine and/or bromine atom(s)

1990

The electron impact mass spectra of methyl esters of chloro-, bromo-, dichloro-, bromochloro- and dibromo-2-butenoic acids (13 esters at all) have been investigated. Generally, the peaks due to the following fragments are abundant: M+·, [M OCH3]+, [M CH3OH]+·, [M X]+, [M OCH3 CO]+ or [M COOCH3]+, [M X CH3OH]+ or [M OCH3 HX]+, [M OCH3 CO HX]+, [M OCH3 X X]+ and [M OCH3 CO X X]+. Characteristic for the 2- and 4-halo isomers are the primary losses of a methyl radical and methanol, and for the 3-halo isomers the loss of X· from M+·. Disparities between the spectra of the E and Z isomers are shown, the effect of position of halogen substitution being much more pronounced, as reported previously …
