Electrospray ion mobility mass spectrometry of positively charged sodium bis[2-ethythexyl)sulfosuccinate aggregates.
2014
Collision cross-sections (CCS) of positively singly and multiply charged aggregates of the surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOTNa) in the gas phase have been measured by quadrupole ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Calibration of the observed drift times to the CCS of the AOTNa non-covalent aggregates was achieved by collecting, under the same experimental conditions, the drift times of a range of singly and multiply charged polyalanine peptides whose CCS had been obtained by conventional ion mobility spectrometry. Together with an obvious increase of the aggregate cross-section with the aggregation number, it was found that the aggregate cross-section increa…
Tyramine action on motoneuron excitability and adaptable tyramine/octopamine ratios adjust Drosophila locomotion to nutritional state
2019
Adrenergic signaling profoundly modulates animal behavior. For example, the invertebrate counterpart of norepinephrine, octopamine, and its biological precursor and functional antagonist, tyramine, adjust motor behavior to different nutritional states. In Drosophila larvae, food deprivation increases locomotor speed via octopamine-mediated structural plasticity of neuromuscular synapses, whereas tyramine reduces locomotor speed, but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We show that tyramine is released into the CNS to reduce motoneuron intrinsic excitability and responses to excitatory cholinergic input, both by tyraminehonoka receptor activation and by downstrea…
Impact of non-functionalized and ionic liquid modified carbon nanotubes on mechanical and thermal properties of ethylene- octene copolymer nanocompos…
2016
In this article the development and characterization of composites made from metallocene based ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) with 38% octene content, non-modified or modified multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), covalently functionalised with long chain hexadecyl moiety imidazolium ionic liquid (IL-f-MWCNTs), is presented. The procedure of MWCNTs functionalization is discussed. In order to obtain a good dispersion of the filler, composites with MWCNTs and IL-f-MWCNTs in the concentration range of 0.5-12 wt.% were made by ultrasonication / thermoplastic mixing method. The results indicated improvement in mechanical properties with increase of the filler content. The methodology of the d…
Mn(II) complexes with sulfonamides as ligands.
2012
Abstract Sulfonamides derived from 8-aminoquinoline react with Mn(II) and Mn(III) salts to form Mn(II) complexes; the Mn(III) species are reduced to the divalent state in the presence of 1,10 phenanthroline and bipyridine. Their molecular structure, determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, show that all the complexes present a distorted octahedral geometry, in which the deprotonated sulfonamide acts as a bidentate ligand. UV–visible spectroscopy and changes in the melting temperature (Tm) of calf thymus DNA show a strong interaction of these complexes with DNA. The significant hypochromicity of the charge transfer transition at 370 nm without an appreciable change in wavelength and t…
Stabilisation of LDPE cross-linked in the presence of peroxides III. Mass spectrometric study of chemical changes taking place in the n-octadecane–di…
2000
Abstract An attempt was made to identify the products of the reaction between dicumyl peroxide and Irganox 1081, carried out in n -octadecane (saturated hydrocarbon), in conditions of fast decomposition of the peroxide (180°C, 5 min). Mass spectrometry (MS) was employed to find m/z values of molecular and fragment ions in analyses of the components ( n -octadecane, dicumyl peroxide, Irganox 1081) and of the following systems: n -octadecane–dicumyl peroxide, n -octadecane–Irganox 1081 and n -octadecane–dicumyl peroxide–Irganox 1081, after holding them at a temperature of 180°C for 5 min. The tendency of sulphur in Irganox 1081 to oxidise, specifically in the presence of dicumyl peroxide, was…
Phase transitions and distortion of [BiCl6]3- octahedra in (C3H5NH3)3[BiCl 6] - DSC and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies
2004
The DSC diagram of tris(allylammonium) hexachlorobismuthate(III), (C3H5NH3)3[BiCl6], revealed three anomalies at 152, 191 and 299 K. The structure of the salt was determined at 200 and 315 K, below and above the high-temperature phase transition at 299 K. In both phases the crystals are monoclinic. At 200 K the space group is C2/c whereas at 315 K it is C2/m. The structures, at both temperatures, are composed of [BiCl6]3− octahedra and allylammonium cations. The organic and inorganic moieties are attracted to each other by a network of the N-H. . .Cl hydrogen bonds. The relationship between corresponding parameters of the unit cells has been found. The phase transition at 299 K, of the orde…
"Dormant" secondary metal-alkyl complexes are not omnipresent.
2006
This theoretical study was inspired by the perpetual debate over the so-called “dormancy” of the active sites in propylene polymerization, i.e., a drop in their activity after a regioerror (2,1-insertion), which was reported to occur in many (although not all) catalytic systems. To explore the range of possible situations, we have selected two homogeneous systems of fundamentally different structure: an octahedral system of C 2 symmetry with a tetradentate O N N O ligand and a bridged indenyl catalyst. This choice was not accidental; it is in these two systems where the experimentalists cannot reach a consensus about dormancy. Our density-functional theory calculations explain why in certa…
Radiolabeling of DOTATOC with the long-lived positron emitter 44Sc.
2010
Abstract The positron-emitting radionuclide 44 Sc with a half-life of 3.97 h and a β + branching of 94.3% is of potential interest for clinical PET. As so far it is available from a 44 Ti/ 44 Sc generator in Mainz, where long-lived 44 Ti decays to no-carrier-added (nca) 44 Sc. The 44 Sc is a trivalent metal cation and should be suitable for complexation with many well established bifunctional chelators conjugated to peptides or other molecular targeting vectors. Thus, the aim of this work was to investigate the potential of 44 Sc for labeling of DOTA-conjugated peptides. DOTA-D-Phe 1 -Tyr 3 -octreotide (DOTATOC) was used as a model molecule to study and optimize labeling procedure. Reaction…
A study on the aminomercuration-nucleophilic demercuration of --1,5-cyclooctadiene; stereoselective synthesis of 2,6-disubstituted-9-aza bicyclo[3.3.…
1992
Abstract The aminomercuration of cis - cis -1,5-Cyclooctadiene with a series of mercury(II) salts followed by nucleophilic displacement of mercury by aromatic amines, water and nitrate ion has been studied. As a result, bicyclic triamines, aminoalcohols and nitrate esters have been obtained respectively in clean processes which occur under total stereoelectronic control by involvement of a tricyclic aziridium ion to afford a single stereoisomer in each case. The influence of the counter ion and the basicity of the amine on the tandem aminomercuration-demercuration is discussed.
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…
