Synthesis and low-frequency vibrational spectra of some halo- and pseudohalo-diphenylantimonates(V)
1976
Abstract The syntheses of diphenylantimonates(V) of the type M(I) [PH 2 XbX 4 ] (M(I) = PH 4 As; X = F, Cl, Br, N 3 , NCS; X 4 = Cl 3 Br, Cl 3 N 3 ) are described. Far-Ir spectra of these compounds and of previously synthesized M(I) [Ph 2 SbCl 3 X] species (M(I) = Me 4 N; X = Cl, Br, N 3 ; M(I) = Ph 4 As; X = NCS) are reported. Raman spectra of tetrafluoro and tetrachloro salts are also given. Vibrational data are interpreted in terms of the presence of solid of trans -Ph 2 SbX 4 - species and assignments of skeletal modes are suggested.
Structural study of ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates: conformation and transmission of substituent effects acro…
2001
Nine new ethyl 3-arylcarbamoyl-2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carboxylates were prepared by a [4 + 2] cycloaddition and their FTIR, 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectra were measured and assigned. Single crystals were grown for five compounds and their X-ray data were obtained. The electronic structure and the conformations were calculated by the semi-empirical AM1 method. Using correlations between the spectral, empirical and theoretical structural data, the transmission of substituent effects and the preferential conformation connected with the consecutive double nitrogen inversion and regarding the mutual orientation of NH and CO bonds were investigated. The results are compared with those f…
Atomic and electronic structure of the corundum (0001) surface: comparison with surface spectroscopies
1997
Abstract The electronic structure and geometry of the Al-terminated corundum (0001) surface were studied using a slab model within the ab-initio Hartree-Fock technique. The distance between the top Al plane and the next O basal plane is found to be considerably reduced on relaxation (by 0.57 A, i.e. by 68% of the corresponding interlayer distance in the bulk). An interpretation of experimental photoelectron spectra (UPS He I) and metastable impact electron spectra (MIES) is given using the calculated total density of states of the slab and the projections to the atoms, atomic orbitals, and He 1s floating atomic orbital at different positions above the surface. Calculated projected densities…
<title>Spectroscopic investigation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor for application in medical diagnosis</title>
1998
Native vesicles containing the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) prepared from the electric organ of the ray Torpedo marmorata were used to obtain fluorescence signal sin dependence of different concentrations of the local anesthetics procaine. Nonlinear concentration dependent spectral changes are found using ethidium bromide as a fluorescence marker. Structural changes are found for the proteins including the nAChR in the vesicles during immobilization onto surfaces such as IR transparent germanium (GE) crystal, Ge crystal coated with silver (Ag) cluster to use the SEIRA effect and/or crystals covered with a lipid subphase. A comparison between Ge and Ge coated with Ag (Ge/Ag) clus…
Copper complexes with sulfonamides: crystal structure and interaction with pUC18 plasmid and hydrogen peroxide
2003
N-Quinolin-8-yl-benzenesulfonamide (Hqbsa) and N-quinolin-8-yl-naftalenesulfonamide (Hqnsa) have been synthetized and physicochemically characterized, and used as ligands to coordinate copper complexes with ML2 stoichiometry. The structure of the compounds [Cu(qbsa)2]·DMF and [Cu(qnsa)2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction and both of them crystallize in the orthorhombic system. IR and ESR spectra of the complexes are discussed. The cleavage of pUCI8 by the copper complexes do not behave as chemical nucleases in the range of concentrations assayed.
Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to spectral signatures of hadronic PeVatrons with application to Galactic Supernova Remnants
2023
The local Cosmic Ray (CR) energy spectrum exhibits a spectral softening at energies around 3~PeV. Sources which are capable of accelerating hadrons to such energies are called hadronic PeVatrons. However, hadronic PeVatrons have not yet been firmly identified within the Galaxy. Several source classes, including Galactic Supernova Remnants (SNRs), have been proposed as PeVatron candidates. The potential to search for hadronic PeVatrons with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is assessed. The focus is on the usage of very high energy $\gamma$-ray spectral signatures for the identification of PeVatrons. Assuming that SNRs can accelerate CRs up to knee energies, the number of Galactic SNRs whi…
(1Z,3Z)-3-[Quinolin-2(1H)-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol: An unexpected most stable tautomer of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone
2009
Abstract 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR spectra reveal that CDCl 3 solution of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone contains only ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol. The proton transfer takes place between two basic centers of the molecule, which means that the process is an identity reaction by character. The situation is completely different from that detected in chloroform solution of 1,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl)acetone where three different tautomers are in equilibrium with each other. Although the proton transfers in both ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol and ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-hydroxy-1-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene-4-quinolin-2-yl]but-3-e…
Towards the quantitative and physically-based interpretation of solar-induced vegetation fluorescence retrieved from global imaging
2021
Due to emerging high spectral resolution, remote sensing techniques and ongoing developments to retrieve the spectrally resolved vegetation fluorescence spectrum from several scales, the light reactions of photosynthesis are receiving a boost of attention for the monitoring of the Earth's carbon balance. Sensor-retrieved vegetation fluorescence (from leaf, tower, airborne or satellite scale) originating from the excited antenna chlorophyll a molecule has become a new quantitative biophysical vegetation parameter retrievable from space using global imaging techniques. However, to retrieve the actual quantum efficiencies, and hence a true photosynthetic status of the observed vegetation, all …
Refinement of a structural model of a pigment-protein complex by accurate optical line shape theory and experiments.
2007
Time-local and time-nonlocal theories are used in combination with optical spectroscopy to characterize the water-soluble chlorophyll binding protein complex (WSCP) from cauliflower. The recombinant cauliflower WSCP complexes reconstituted with either chlorophyll b (Chl b) or Chl a/Chl b mixtures are characterized by absorption spectroscopy at 77 and 298 K and circular dichroism at 298 K. On the basis of the analysis of these spectra and spectra reported for recombinant WSCP reconstituted with Chl a only (Hughes, J. L.; Razeghifard, R.; Logue, M.; Oakley, A.; Wydrzynski, T.; Krausz, E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. U.S.A. 2006, 128, 3649), the "open-sandwich" model proposed for the structure of the pig…
Chlorophyll Concentration Retrieval by Training Convolutional Neural Network for Stochastic Model of Leaf Optical Properties (SLOP) Inversion
2020
Miniaturized hyperspectral imaging techniques have developed rapidly in recent years and have become widely available for different applications. Combining calibrated hyperspectral imagery with inverse physically based reflectance models is an interesting approach for estimating chlorophyll concentrations that are good indicators of vegetation health. The objective of this study was to develop a novel approach for retrieving chlorophyll a and b values from remotely sensed data by inverting the stochastic model of leaf optical properties using a one-dimensional convolutional neural network. The inversion results and retrieved values are validated in two ways: A classical machine learning val…
