Redox switching of the antiferromagnetic coupling in permethylated dicopper(ii) paracyclophanes
2012
A unique magnetic electroswitching behavior has been observed in an oxamato-based permethylated dicopper(II) paracyclophane; upon reversible one-electron oxidation of the double tetramethyl-substituted p-phenylenediamidate bridging skeleton, the spin alignment of the two Cu(II) ions (S(Cu) = ½) changes from antiparallel (OFF) to parallel (ON) in the resulting dicopper(II) π-radical cation species.
Relatively strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling in a neutral Cr(III)2Nb(V)2 heterobimetallic molecular square.
2015
A relatively large antiferromagnetic interaction between the two chromium(III) ions from the molecular square [{Cr(dmso)4}2{Nb(μ-O)2(C2O4)2}2] () (J = -12.0 cm(-1)) is mediated by the diamagnetic oxo-Nb(V)-oxo pathway, its nature and magnitude being substantiated by DFT type theoretical calculations.
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.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Highly Functionalized 9,10-Phenanthrenequinones by Oxidative Coupling Using MoCl5.
2012
An efficient method to prepare functionalized 9,10-phenanthrenequinones including the natural cypripediquinone A (VIIIa) is reported.
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…
Heterogeneous vs Homogeneous Palladium Catalysts for Cross-Coupling Reactions
2012
A large number of immobilized-Pd-catalysts for cross-coupling reactions have been introduced in the last decade. Are the observed catalyzed reactions truly heterogeneous or are they homogeneous due to leached palladium? This account critically addresses the leaching issue by selectively referring to some of the newly developed catalytic systems in an attempt to evaluate said systems based on uniform criteria. The report is concluded by identifying the relevant chemical and structural challenges in the field.
ChemInform Abstract: Asymmetric Allylation/Pauson-Khand Reaction: A Simple Entry to Polycyclic Amines. Application to the Synthesis of Aminosteroid A…
2014
Asymmetric allylation of o-iodoarylsulfinylimines has been achieved in high diastereoselectivities. The thus-obtained o-iodoarylhomoallylic sulfinamides participate in a subsequent Sonogashira coupling followed by a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson–Khand reaction. In this way, tricyclic amines showing a unique benzo-fused indenyl backbone were obtained. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of amino steroid analogues.
Process-independent strong running coupling
2016
We unify two widely different approaches to understanding the infrared behaviour of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), one essentially phenomenological, based on data, and the other computational, realised via quantum field equations in the continuum theory. Using the latter, we explain and calculate a process-independent running-coupling for QCD, a new type of effective charge that is an analogue of the Gell-Mann--Low effective coupling in quantum electrodynamics. The result is almost identical to the process-dependent effective charge defined via the Bjorken sum rule, which provides one of the most basic constraints on our knowledge of nucleon spin structure. This reveals the Bjorken sum to be…
