The reaction of aromatic α,β-unsaturated ketones with 4,5-diamino-1,6- dihydropyrimidin-6-ones
1994
The reaction of 4,5-diamino-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-6-ones 1 with one equivalent of the chalcones 2 leads in an acidic medium to the formation of the 2,4-diaryl-2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepin-6-ones 3a-m. The structure elucidation of the products is based on detailed nmr investigations including selective 13C[1H] decoupling experiments.
A new monomeric interpretation of intrinsic optical bistability observed in Yb3+-doped bromide materials
2003
We present a mechanism able to show intrinsic bistable behaviour involving single Yb3+ ions embedded into bromide lattices, in which intrinsic optical bistability (IOB) has been observed. The mechanism is based on the experimentally found coupling between the Yb3+ ion and the totally symmetric local mode of vibration of the [YbBr6]3- coordination unit. The model reproduces the IOB observed in CsCdBr3:1% Yb3+ and allows to understand the experimentally found presence of the phenomenon in the other bromides, but its absence in Cs3Lu2Cl9:Yb3+.
Electro-organic Synthesis as a Sustainable Alternative for Dehydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Phenols and Naphthols
2016
The dehydrogenative cross-coupling of phenols and naphthols can be achieved by several oxidative methods. However, the key is the use of fluorinated alcohols such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol. The direct application of electricity represents an alternative synthetic approach, which is superior to other oxidizers (e.g., peroxides). The method is sustainable, inherently safe, and easily scalable.
Operational Mechanism of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes
2014
Conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) are versatile materials used in a range of organic optoelectronic applications. Because of their ionic/electronic nature, characterizing these materials is nontrivial, and their operational mechanism is not fully understood. In this work we use a methodology that combines constant-voltage-driven current-density transient measurements with fast current vs voltage scans to allow decoupling of ionic and electronic phenomena. This technique is applied to diodes prepared with cationic CPEs having different charge-compensating anions. Our results indicate that the operational mechanism of these devices is governed by electrochemical doping of the CPE. On the bas…
Electrodeposition methods in superheavy element chemistry
2008
To prepare electrodeposition experiments with superheavy elements (SHE), their homologs were investigated. In the experiments, various electrode materials and electrolytes were used. Critical potentials (E crit ) where the electrodeposition starts and potentials for the deposition of 50% of the atoms in solution (E 50% ) were determined. Underpotential deposition was observed in most cases. An electrolytic cell for a fast electrochemical deposition was developed and the time for the deposition of 50% of the atoms in solution (t 50% ) was determined. Short lived α-emitting isotopes were produced at Gesellschaft fur Schwerionenforschung (GSI), Darmstadt, transferred to the aqueous phase with …
Community effects allow bioelectrical reprogramming of cell membrane potentials in multicellular aggregates: Model simulations.
2020
Bioelectrical patterns are established by spatiotemporal correlations of cell membrane potentials at the multicellular level, being crucial to development, regeneration, and tumorigenesis. We have conducted multicellular simulations on bioelectrical community effects and intercellular coupling in multicellular aggregates. The simulations aim at establishing under which conditions a local heterogeneity consisting of a small patch of cells can be stabilized against a large aggregate of surrounding identical cells which are in a different bioelectrical state. In this way, instructive bioelectrical information can be persistently encoded in spatiotemporal patterns of separated domains with diff…
Initial Radical Cation Pathway in the Mo2Cl10-Mediated Dehydrogenative Arene Coupling
2015
Experimental (EPR) and theoretical (DFT) evidence is provided for radical cation formation as initial step in the Mo2Cl10-mediated dehydrogenative arene coupling. The initial electron transfer from methoxyarenes to molybdenum proceeds via an inner sphere mechanism.
Translational and rotational molecular motion in supercooled liquids studied by NMR and forced Rayleigh scattering
1994
It has been shown that translational diffusion coefficients, Dt, in the supercooled van der Waals liquids, orthoterphenyl, phenolphthaleindimethylether, and salol, have a weaker temperature dependence than the shear viscosity, η, at T ≲ 1.2Tg and can be described by Dt ∼ η−χ with χ < 1 whereas Dr ∼ η−1 applies for the mean rotational diffusion coefficients, Dr, down to the glass transition temperature, Tg. This apparent decoupling of translational and rotational motion has been discussed in relation with possible anomalous short time diffusion, spatial heterogeneity, and cooperative molecular motions close to Tg.
Coupling between the Thermal Evolution of the Heme Pocket and the External Matrix Structure in Trehalose Coated Carboxymyoglobin
2003
Proteins can assume a very large number of conformations (conformational substates), all concurring to its function. We present experimental evidence for the existence, in trehalose coated carboxymyoglobin, of a structured environment of the protein, tightly coupled to the heme pocket structure, as experienced by the bound CO molecule. This was evidenced by the strict correlation observed between the thermal evolution (300−20 K) of the CO stretching and of the water association bands in samples of carboxymyoglobin embedded in trehalose matrixes of different hydration. This observation put forward the coupling between the degrees of freedom of the matrix and those of the protein. In the drie…
How the Protein Environment Can Tune the Energy, the Coupling, and the Ultrafast Dynamics of Interacting Chlorophylls: The Example of the Water-Solub…
2020
The interplay between active molecules and the protein environment in light-harvesting complexes tunes the photophysics and the dynamical properties of pigment–protein complexes in a subtle way, which is not fully understood. Here we characterized the photophysics and the ultrafast dynamics of four variants of the water-soluble chlorophyll protein (WSCP) as an ideal model system to study the behavior of strongly interacting chlorophylls. We found that when coordinated by the WSCP protein, the presence of the formyl group in chlorophyll b replacing the methyl group in chlorophyll a strongly affects the exciton energy and the dynamics of the system, opening up the possibility of tuning the ph…
