Small angle scattering study of the structure of isotactic polypropylene-hydrogenated oligo(cyclopentadiene) blends
1996
Abstract Blends of isotactic polypropylene ( i PP) and hydrogenated oligo cyclopentadiene (HOCP) have been studied by means of small angle X-ray scattering in the temperature range 70–160°C. The structure of blends containing less than 25% HOCP is very similar to the one of plain i PP, i.e. lamellae whose thickness increases by increasing the temperature. Blends containing more than 25% HOCP are characterized by two kinds of lamellae formed by layers of i PP and amorphous material rich in i PP and in HOCP, respectively. The crystallizable i PP present in both phases crystallizes from the melt, in analogy to what happens in HDPE/HOCP blends and in agreement with the values of the crystallini…
Some observations on the determination of sulfite by reduction to sulfide with sodium borohydride
1987
Abstract Sodium borohydride is studied as an agent for reducing sulfite to sulfide. Rapid reductions are attained with greater than 97% recovery in the range 700–1200 μg of S/50 ml. Sulfate is not reduced.
FT-IR and dielectric study of water/AOT liquid crystals
2000
Abstract In order to explore the influence of microwave radiation on highly viscous microheterogeneous systems, the evolution of structural and dynamical properties of the water/sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) liquid crystals as a function of the molar ratio R (R=[water]/[AOT]) has been investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and time domain reflectometry. The study emphasises how the progressive hydration of the surfactant head groups is mainly responsible for the structural and dynamical evolution of water/AOT liquid crystals. In particular, it has been found that the state of water at lower R values is strongly perturbed, bulk-like water appears only at R>23 and the water/AOT in…
A newin vitroapproach for the simultaneous determination of phase I and phase II enzymatic activities of human hepatocyte preparations
2007
Primary hepatocytes are still the best qualified in vitro system to anticipate drug metabolism in man. Recent advances in hepatocytes cryopreservation have notably increased their use not only for drug metabolism studies, but also for other applications such as cell transplantation. Evaluation of the drug-metabolizing competence of each hepatocytes preparation is needed. To date, the metabolic characterization of hepatocytes preparations relies on the assessment of phase I activities and the role of phase II enzymes receives little attention. A novel approach for the rapid assessment of the metabolic functionality of hepatocytes has been developed. A five-probe cocktail was used to simultan…
Direct monitoring of spin state in dinuclear iron(II) coordination compounds
2001
So far there has been no direct method to determine the spin state of molecules in dinuclear iron(II) compounds. The molecular fractions of high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) species have been deduced from magnetic susceptibility and zero-field Mossbauer spectroscopy data irrespective of whether they belong to LS–LS, LS–HS and HS–HS pairs. However, the distinction of pairs becomes possible if Mossbauer measurements are carried out in an external magnetic field. The proposed method opens new possibilities in the study of spin crossover phenomena in dinuclear compounds.
HACANCOi : a new Hα-detected experiment for backbone resonance assignment of intrinsically disordered proteins
2020
AbstractUnidirectional coherence transfer is highly efficient in intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Their elevated ps-ns timescale dynamics ensures long transverse (T2) relaxation times allowing sophisticated coherence transfer pathway selection in comparison to folded proteins. 1Hα-detection ensures non-susceptibility to chemical exchange with the solvent and enables chemical shift assignment of consecutive proline residues, typically abundant in IDPs. However, many IDPs undergo a disorder-to-order transition upon interaction with their target protein, which leads to the loss of the favorable relaxation properties. Long coherence transfer routes now result in prohibitively large dec…
Discrete bond model (DBM) of sodium silicate glasses derived from XPS, Raman and NMR measurements
1993
In sodium silicate glasses, the fraction of differently bound Si species Q[i] (i = 0−4), depending on the number i of bridging oxygens bound to the quarternary silicon, is a function of stoichiometry and the Na/Si ratio. Sodium silicate glasses were investigated by high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. To explain the differences in chemical shifts and linewidths of the O 1s signal of the bridging and the non-bridging oxygen as a function of alkali concentration, and extended glass model was developed. This new model takes into account the influence of the alkali concentration on the Q[i] distribution and on the appearance and concentrations of differently bound bridging oxygens …
13C NMR study of aromatic ring-substituted (E)-3-phenylpropenals and (2E,4E)-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienals
1990
13C and 1H chemical shifts together with C,H and H,H coupling constants are presented for (E)-3-phenylpropenal, (2E,4E)-5-phenylpenta-2,4-dienal and their o-OCH3- and o-, m- and p-NO2-substituted derivatives. The SCSs calculated for the aldehyde chains show similar effects on the ring carbons, except in the para position where the shorter chain causes a 3.3 ppm deshielding and the longer chain a 1.0 ppm shielding effect. This shift difference is reflected in all the ring-substituted derivatives of the two series of aldehydes, but not in the one-bond C,H coupling constants. The effect of aromatic ring substitution on 2J(C,CHO) seems to be mainly inductive in origin. The importance of the str…
Über tetraaryl-methan-analoga in der gruppe 14
1994
Abstract The title compounds have been synthesized by Grignard reactions or pyrolysis of diplumbanes respectively. The crystal structures of m -Tol 4 Pb and Ph 4 Pb (redetermination) have been determined. All eight compounds (Ph/Tol) 4 (Sn/Pb) are S 4 symmetric and contracted along this unique axis. The 13 C-NMR chemical shifts and the couplings 1 J ( 119 Sn/ 207 Pb 13 C) as well depend additively upon the methyl substituents. The ratios 1 K ( 207 Pb 13 C): 1 K ( 119 Sn 13 C) of the reduced coupling constants are all near to 1.61; a comparison with values from the literature for alkyl, alkenyl and alkinyl substituents is given. The ratio δ( 207 Pb):δ( 119 Sn) results in 2.28. IR (700 dow…
1H,13C,17O and19F NMR spectroscopic study of isomeric ring-substituted monofluoro-(E)-3-phenylpropenals
1993
Isomeric ring substituted monofluoro-(E)-3-phenylpropenals (cinnamaldehydes) were synthesized in order to provide, with the NMR-active 19F nucleus, an insight into the influence of substituents and the transmission of electronic effects between the aromatic ring and the side-chain. Their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts and their nJ(H,H), nJ(H,F), nJ(C,H) and nJ(C,F) values were determined. Generally, the nJ(C,F) coupling constants correlate with the length of the coupling route and thus simplify the assignments of the 13C NMR spectra. Only the side-chain carbons C-2 and C-3 in the ortho-substituted compounds showed an exception to this rule. Many long-range nJ(H,F) (n = 4–7) values were…
