2-Acylamino- and 2,4-bis(acylamino)pyrimidines as supramolecular synthons analysed by multiple non-covalent interactions. DFT, X-ray diffraction, and…
2012
Intermolecular interactions of ten 2-acylamino and 2,4-bis(acylamino)pyrimidines (7 of which are previously unknown) have been investigated by X-ray structural, quantum chemical (DFT), and NMR spectral methods. Especially the concentration dependencies of the (1)H NMR chemical shifts and titrations with other molecules capable of multiple hydrogen bonding provided useful information regarding their association via triple or quadruple hydrogen bonding, which is controlled by the conformational preferences of 2-acylamino- and 2,4-bis(acylamino)pyrimidines. On comparison of the properties of 2-acylamino- and 2,4-bis(acylamino)pyrimidines with the corresponding pyridines, an additional nitrogen…
Conformational studies of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in positions 2 and 5 in peptide chain
2008
Conformational preferences of a group of hexapeptides containing two dehydroamino acid residues in Positions 2 and 5 in peptide chain were investigated by means of spectroscopic methods (NMR and CD) and theoretical calculations. In the case of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solution, only peptide with free N-termini adopted rigid 310-helical conformation, for the rest of examined peptides extended and “zig-zag” conformers were predominant. CD measurements showed that only in chloroform solution the conformational freedom of investigated peptides was restricted. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 89: 691–699, 2008.

Proteins and enzymes of the peroxisomal membrane in mammals.
1993
Proteins of the peroxisomal membrane can be schematically divided into two groups, one being made up of more or less characterized proteins with generally unknown functions and the other consisting of enzyme activities of which the corresponding proteins have not been characterized. In the present report, these proteins and enzymes are described with the addition of unpublished results regarding their induction by peroxisome proliferators at the post-transcriptional level. Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) can be isolated using an alkaline solution of sodium carbonate. A dozen of preponderant IMPs can be seen on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and the major band c…
Synthesis of β-d-mannosides from β-d-glucosides via an intramolecular Sn2 reaction at C-2
1992
Abstract The selective synthesis of β- d -mannosides was achieved by first synthesizing β- d -glucosides that carry a N -phenylcarbamoyl protecting group at O-3. These derivatives were transformed into the corresponding β- d -mannosides by intramolecular nucleophilic substitution with inversion of configuration at C-2, the O -triflyl group being the leaving group. Subsequent intramolecular attack of the neighboring carbamoyl group resulted in the formation of the 2,3-carbonate of the desired β d -mannoside.
Photoswitchable Smectic Liquid-Crystalline Elastomers
2005
We succeeded in the synthesis of azo side chain containing polysioxanes with broad smectic C* and A phases. In these polymers the phase transition temperatures can be shifted reversibly by up to 17°C by irradiation with UV (cis) or VIS (trans) light. Thin films of these polymers in the smectie phase (both on substrates and as free-standing films) orient perfectly in a homeotropic manner. As a consequence, the aze chromophores do no longer absorb during a perpendicular illumination with light (dichroism). It is thus possible to crosslink these films photochemically to prepare photoswitchable smectic LC elastomers.
One is Enough: Influencing Polymer Properties with a Single Chromophoric Unit

By combining various functional units, a myriad of polymer properties can be fine-‐ tuned. Classical polymer chemistry teaches us that a single functional group -‐-‐ in particular the end-‐group of a polymer chain -‐-‐ does not contribute to the polymer properties, as is indee…
Direct Surface Relief Formation in Polymer Films
2013
Due to active development of nanoelectronics, the studies of methods of nanorelief surface formation in different materials, in particular polymers are very important. Organic polymer films in consequence of their dielectric and optical properties have been used as basis of these devices. In this paper, the possibility of UV optical record and electron beam lithography in different type of polymeric films was studied. Mechanisms of molecular structure changes: photoisomerization, destruction, cross-linking and oxidation have been discussed. The results of UV illumination of polyurethanes, polyacrylates, and some block-copolymers were described. The element analysis of polybutadiene block co…
UV optical record and electron beam lithography in polymer films
2012
Possibility of UV optical record and electron beam lithography in different type of organic polymer films was studied. Mechanisms of molecular structure changes: photoisomerization, destruction, cross-linking and oxidation have been discussed. The results of UV illumination of polyurethanes, polyacrilates, and some block-copolymers are described. The element analysis of polyisoprene block copolymer was performed before and after UV illumination, and the changes in transmission spectra of the polymer film were measured. The resolution of electron beam lithography on polymer films was studied. In the polyisoprene block copolymer film the oxidation polymerization was ascertain at UV-illuminati…
Photoresponsive Ferroelectric Liquid-Crystalline Polymers
2007
The photoresponse of ferroelectric smectic side-chain liquid-crystalline (LC) polymers containing a photoisomerizable azobenzene derivative as a covalently linked photochromic side group is investigated. By static measurements in different photostationary states, the effect of trans-cis isomerization on the material's phase-transition temperatures and its ferroelectric properties (spontaneous electric polarization Ps and director tilt angle 0) are analyzed. It turns out that the Curie temperature (transition S C * to S A ) can be reversibly shifted by up to 17 °C. The molecular mechanism of this "photoferroelectric effect" is studied in detail using time-resolved measurements of the dye's o…
Some photochemical transformations of polymers
1969
Abstract Several light-induced reactions of polymers are described. The light-sensitive groups are part of the macromolecules. Photoisomerization of polyvinylbutyral produces a polymer with vinylbutyrate-groups. At exposure to light, furan and benzofuran are added to the carbonyl-groups of polyvinylbenzophenone. Polymers with azido-groups are prepared, which eliminate nitrogen at irradiation. Light-sensitive films can be cast from polymers with o-quinonediazide-groups.
