In situ UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry in the course of oxidative monomer electrolysis

2015

Abstract Novel method to characterize the macromolecuar structure of an electroactive polymer deposited via electrooxidation of the corresponding monomer on the electrode surface has been proposed. It is based on experimental determination of the number of electrons spent for oxidation of an initially solute monomer species which is used to calculate the number of covalent bonds linking each monomer unit with neighboring units inside the polymer. The former parameter is found by tracing simultaneously the variations of instantaneous values of the solute monomer concentration and of the passed charge in the course of the monomer oxidation electrolysis. This monomer concentration is establish…

Encapsulation of secondary and tertiary ammonium salts by resorcinarenes and pyrogallarenes: the effect of size and charge concentration

2015

The binding of different categories of alkyl ammonium (secondary and tertiary mono- and di-ammonium) salts with resorcinarenes and a pyrogallarene through weak interactions was analysed in all phases. 1H NMR spectroscopy and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry were utilized in analysing the complexes in solution and in the gas phase, respectively. The 1H NMR titration studies in methanol-d4 reveal that the association constants for the 1:1 complexes vary according to the electronic properties of the hosts as well as the size, geometric orientation and charge concentration of the guest cations with binding constants of up to 950 M−1 in some cases. Mass spectrometry reveals 1:1 monomeri…

Peptide mapping by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography employing silica rod monoliths.

2003

In this paper, a general procedure is described for the generation of peptide maps of proteins with monolithic silica-based columns. The peptide fragments were obtained by tryptic digestion of various cytochrome c species with purification of the tryptic fragments achieved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic methods. Peak assignment of the various peptides was based on evaluation of the biophysical properties of the individual peptides and via mass spectrometric identification. The performance of several different monolithic sorbents prepared as columns of identical cross-sectional dimensions were investigated as part of these peptide mapping studies and the data evalu…

Aminoendgruppenhaltige polymere durch anionische polymerisation von vinylverbindungen mit 3-Dimethylaminopropyllithium als initiator

1975

α-Methylstyrol (in THF) sowie Styrol bzw. Butadien (in Benzol) wurden mit 3-Dimethyl-aminopropyllithium (1) als Initiator homopolymerisiert; dabei wurden aufgrund des Einflusses der tertiaren Aminogruppe bei der Polymerisation in apolarem Medium, verglichen mit der Initiierung durch Butyllithium, Veranderungen der Mikrostruktur der Polymeren beodachtet. Die Molekulargewichte der Polymeren sind hoher, als sich nach dem eingesetzten Monomer/Initiator-Verhatnis berechnete. Der Aminoendgruppengehalt der Polymeren wurde elementaranalytisch sowie NMR-spektroskopisch quantitative bestimmt; die tertiaren Aminoendgruppen konnten mit Methylijodid quantitativ zum quartaren Salz umgesetz werden, mit Br…

Significance of Posttranslational Modification of Drug Metabolizing Enzymes by Phosphorylation for the Control of Carcinogenic Metabolites

1995

The total activity of foreign compound metabolizing enzymes may change by altering the amount or the specific activity of the enzyme by induction or repression, or by activation or inhibition. The important contribution of enzyme induction is well known (Conney 1982, Oesch 1986, Nebert and Jones 1989). This is a relatively slow process which requires the biosynthesis of the enzyme protein. The possibility of a faster regulation of foreign compound metabolism by posttranslational modification by phosphorylation of an already preexisting protein molecule has only recently received attention. A central role in the metabolism of foreign compounds is played by the cytochrome P450-dependent monoo…

Purification of rat liver epoxide hydratase to apparent homogeneity.

1975

Epoxide hydratase (EC 4.2.1.63) is a microsomal enzyme which catalyses the conversion of epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols. Epoxides, produced by the action of microsomal monooxygenases (EC 1.14.1.1) from aromatic and olefinic compounds, are thought to be responsible for many of the harinful effects of polycyclic hydrocarbons and related compounds. Thus epoxide hydratase, together with glutathione 9transferases, (EC 2.5.1.18) may play an important role in the removal of carcinogenic and cytotoxic metabolites (for reviews see [l-3]). It has been reported [4,5] that dihydrodiols formed from some polycyclic hydrocarbons (benz(a)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene) are reactivated by the microsomal mono…

Complexation of C-methyl pyrogallarene with small quaternary and tertiary alkyl ammonium cations

2007

Complexation properties of pyrogallarene 1 towards small quaternary and tertiary alkyl ammonium cations were studied in gas phase, solution and in solid state. In gas phase both dimeric capsules and monomeric 1 : 1 complexes of all cations 2a+–d+ are detected but only in the case of 2a+ is the abundance of the capsule form higher than the monomeric 1 : 1 complex. A similar trend is observed in NMR experiments, which reveal a favourable dimeric complex for 2a+ and a weaker dimeric complex for 2b+ but only monomeric complexes for 2c+ and 2d+. Also in solid state, 2a+ and 2b+ form capsules when crystallized from MeOH while 2c+ and 2d+ form dimeric 1 : 1 complexes. As a reference, hetero-confor…

Rare earth metal-based catalysts for the polymerization of nonpolar and polar monomers

2001

Abstract The synthesis of rare earth metal half-sandwich hydrido complexes [Ln (h5:h1-C5Me 4SiMe2NCMe3) (THF) (µ-H) ] 2 (Ln = Y, Lu) through s-bond metathesis of the easily accessible alkyl complexes [Ln (h5:h1-C5Me 4SiMe2NCMe3) (CH2 SiMe3) (THF) ] was developed. The dimeric yttrium hydrido complexes are highly fluxional, and a monomer-dimer equilibrium is present. They were tested as single-site, single-component catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene and styrene, as well as alkyl acrylate and acrylonitrile. The hydrido complexes polymerize ethylene slowly and form isolable mono (insertion) products with styrene. The yttrium n-alkyl complexes [Y (h5:h1-C5Me 4SiMe2NCMe3) (R) (THF) ] […

1988

Monte Carlo simulations are presented for binary (AB) symmetric polymer mixtures (chain lengths NANBN) for the case that an attractive interaction ϵ exists between monomers of the same kind, and the limiting case that one species (B) is very diluted. It is shown that with increasing interaction strength ϵ/(kB · T), T being the absolute temperature, the minority chains collapse to a very dense configuration, while the majority chains stay nearly Gaussian. Both chain radii, structure factors and numbers of nearest neighbour contacts are discussed.

1972

Die anionische Polymerisation von Acrylnitril mit Triathylphosphin als Initiator in Dimethylformamid wurde bei verschiedenen Temperaturen und unterschiedlichem Verhaltnis der Monomer/Initiator-Konzentrationen untersucht. Erganzt durch spektroskopische Endgruppenbestimmung der Polymeranionen konnte mittels 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelchromatographie (GPC) sowie emissionsspektralanalytischer Phosphorbestimmung an den rohen und den durch Umfallungen bzw. GPC fraktionierten Polymerproben gezeigt werden, das hier neben einer ubertragung teilweise eine Polymerisation Uber Makrozwitterionen auftritt. Fur die Bildung von Makrozwitterionen, , sind jedoch Mindestwerte des Monomer/Initiator-Verhaltnis…
