Determination of soyasaponins I and βg in raw and cooked legumes by solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrome…
2013
Legumes contain a rich variety of phytochemicals as soyasaponins, triterpenoidal glycosides that possess multiple health-promoting properties, such as lowering of cholesterol. In this work, the quantification of soyasaponins I and βg in 60 raw and cooked legumes by using a solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled to a liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) method was carried out. Results showed that lentils are a good source of soyasaponins, with a content of soyasaponin I that ranged from 636 to 735 mg kg(-1) and of soyasaponin βg from 672 to 1807 mg kg(-1). The cooking process produced a small loss of soyasaponins in water, that is, 4.8-8.7%, and partially converted soyasaponin βg …
Amorphous Complexes MM (EDTA) (H2O)4 · 2H2O . LAXS and XPS Investigation of the Local Structure
1988
Abstract The amorphous MM (EDTA)(H2O)4·2 H2O (M = Ni,Co) substances are made up of infinite chains of alternating "hydrated" and "chelated" octahedra bridged by carboxylate groups: M(H2O)4 - M(EDTA)-M(H2O)4-... . XPS enables to ascertain that the coordination of the EDTA ligand in the amorphous phase is identical to that in the crystalline phase, i.e., hexacoordination toward the M atom and two bridging groups in the Ni -Ni, Co - Co compounds.
Diastereoselective formation of highly functionalised α-substituted amino acid derivatives via aldol addition
2005
Abstract Highly diastereoselective aldol additions of (2 R ,4 S )-3- tert -butyl 4-methyl 2- tert -butyloxazolidine-3,4-dicarboxylate ( 1 ) are reported. The utility of the highly substituted oxazolidines of type 1 for diastereoselective α-addition of the fully protected amino acid l -serine with achiral and chiral carbonyl compounds is demonstrated and the relative and absolute configuration of the aldol products are discussed on the basis of NOESY data and solid state structures of selected examples. The aldol products represent highly useful intermediates in the syntheses of sphingosine-related metabolites.
Sterically controlled self-assembly of tetrahedral M(6)L(4) cages via cationic N-donor ligands.
2014
Tripodal cationic N-donor ligands exhibit sterically controlled self-assembly of tetrahedral M6L4 coordination cages that promote selective anion encapsulation (PF6(-)OTf(-)) in the solid state. The described method is a potential template for stepwise assembly of hetero-ligand coordination cages and polymers.
ChemInform Abstract: In situ DRIFT Spectroscopic Investigation on the Chemical Evolution of Zinc Phosphate Acid-Base Cement.
2010
Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy has been used to follow the chemical evolution of zinc phosphate acid−base cement (ZPC), which has been prepared from unmodified, as well as from aluminum- and zinc-modified orthophosphoric acid. For the first time, amorphous dizinc cyclotetraphosphate octahydrate, Zn2P4O12·8H2O, although hydrolytically instable, has been observed as precursor phase prior to crystallization of α-hopeite, α-Zn3(PO4)2·4H2O, in both systems. Within minutes from onset of mixing the infrared spectrum of unmodified ZPC is dominated by the characteristic vibrations of α-hopeite, due to matrix crystallization. Setting of modified ZPC is strongly af…
A new improved synthesis of the 110 K bismuth superconducting phase: freeze-drying of acetic solutions
1992
Abstract Metastability has greatly hindered the separated synthesis of the high-temperature superconducting phases represented as (Bi1−x, Pbx)2Sr2Can−1CunO4 + 2n (n = 2, 2-2-1-2, Tc≈80 K, and n = 3, 2-2-2-3, Tc≈110 K). By careful control of the synthetic variables, it becomes possible to obtain the 110 K phase as the only superconducting one through processing of freeze-dried acetic solutions. This technique leads to homogeneously sized (5–10 μm) micaceous platelets of the superconducting material.
Stereocontrolled solid-phase synthesis of fluorinated partially-modified retropeptides via tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation
2003
N-Acylation of Wang resin-bound l-α-amino acids with 2-trifluoromethyl-propenoyl chloride, followed by asymmetric tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation by a series of l-α-amino esters and final release from the resin, afforded a representative library of partially-modified retropeptides incorporating a stereodefined trifluoroalanine surrogate. The stereocontrol can be dramatically improved (up to 15:1) by using apolar solvents like carbon tetrachloride and DABCO as base.
The effect of silica nanoparticles on the morphology, mechanical properties and thermal degradation kinetics of PMMA
2012
Abstract Silica–PMMA nanocomposites with different silica quantities were prepared by a melt compounding method. The effect of silica amount, in the range 1–5 wt.%, on the morphology, mechanical properties and thermal degradation kinetics of PMMA was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 13 C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 13 C{ 1 H} CP-MAS NMR) and measures of proton spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame ( T 1 ρ ( H )), in the laboratory frame ( T 1 ( H )) a…
Deformation recovery behavior of a solid polymer after tensile yielding
1984
In this work the deformation recovery behavior of an amorphous polymer after large tensile deformation is studied at different temperatures. The effect of three parameters other than temperature has been pointed out in previous works (1–3).
Deformation recovery behaviour of a solid polymer after tensile yielding
1987
In this work the deformation recovery behavior of an amorphous polymer after large tensile deformation is studied at different temperatures. The effect of three parameters other than temperature has been pointed out in previous works (1–3). The data here presented indicate that the influence of all parameters, including temperature, on recovery behavior can be related to the residual stress, σ *, at the beginning of recovery test. This suggests to plot the recovery versus time curves, relative to different sets of parameters including temperature, by means of the same normalizing groups which were adopted in (2), thus shifting all curves towards a single master curve.
