Investigations on organoantimony compounds
1977
Abstract Trichlorodiorganoantimony(V) compounds, R2SbCl3, in which the antimony atom is part of a heterocyclic ring have been synthesized. They have been converted into the corresponding tetramethylammonium tetrachlorodiorganoantimonates, [R2SbCl4]− [Me4N]+, which are hexacoordinate diorganoantimony(V) species in which the antimony-carbon bonds are forced into a cis-position. 5,5,5-Trichlorodibenzostibole, 10,10,10-trichlorophenoxantimonin, 5,5,5-trichloro-5,10-dihydrodibenz[b, e]antimonin and 5,5,5-trichloro-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b, f]stibepin have been prepared by chlorination of the corresponding heterocyclic chlorodiarylstibines. Heterocyclic trichlorodialkylantimony(V) compounds hav…
The HEXACO–100 Across 16 Languages
2020
The HEXACO Personality Inventory–Revised (HEXACO–PI–R) has become one of the most heavily applied measurement tools for the assessment of basic personality traits. Correspondingly, the inventory has been translated to many languages for use in cross-cultural research. However, formal tests examining whether the different language versions of the HEXACO–PI–R provide equivalent measures of the 6 personality dimensions are missing. We provide a large-scale test of measurement invariance of the 100-item version of the HEXACO–PI–R across 16 languages spoken in European and Asian countries (N = 30,484). Multigroup exploratory structural equation modeling and confirmatory factor analyses revealed …
Investigations on organoantimony compounds XI. Triorganoantimony(V) compounds containing potentially tridentate ligands
1974
Triorganoantimony(V) compounds of the types RSbVL, in which R = Me or Ph, and L represents a potentially tridentate dianionic Schiff base ligand of the ONO or SNO type, have been synthesized and investigated by spectroscopic (UV, IR, PMR) methods. Molecular weight determinations in benzene reveal the monomeric nature of these compounds. The free ligands, HL, used in this study are:,′-(methylidynenitrilo)diphenol (HSab), -(o-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazoline (H-Sat), -(o_hydroxyanilino)crotonophenone (HBah), 4-(o-hydroxyphenylimino)--pentanone (HAah) and -acetonyl--methylbenzothiazoline (HAat). Both the UV and the IR data suggest hexacoordinate molecular structures for the complexes RSbL in whic…
The human brain hexacoordinated neuroglobin three-dimensional structure
2004
Neuroglobin, mainly expressed in vertebrate brain and retina, is a recently identified member of the globin superfamily. Augmenting O2 supply, neuroglobin promotes survival of neurons upon hypoxic injury, potentially limiting brain damage. In the absence of exogenous ligands, neuroglobin displays a six-coordinated heme. O2 and CO bind to the heme-iron, displacing the endogenous HisE7 heme distal ligand. Hexacoordinated human neuroglobin displays a classical globin fold, adapted to host the reversible bis-histidyl heme complex, and an elongated protein matrix cavity, held to facilitate O2 diffusion to the heme. The structure of neuroglobin suggests that the classical globin fold is endowed w…
The nerve hemoglobin of the bivalve mollusc Spisula solidissima
2006
Abstract Members of the hemoglobin (Hb) superfamily are present in nerve tissue of several vertebrate and invertebrate species. In vertebrates they display hexacoordinate heme iron atoms and are typically expressed at low levels (μm). Their function is still a matter of debate. In invertebrates they have a hexa- or pentacoordinate heme iron, are mostly expressed at high levels (mm), and have been suggested to have a myoglobin-like function. The native Hb of the surf clam, Spisula solidissima, composed of 162 amino acids, does not show specific deviations from the globin templates. UV-visible and resonance Raman spectroscopy demonstrate a hexacoordinate heme iron. Based on the sequence analo…
Adducts of Tellurium Tetrachloride with Allyl Alcohol and Allyl Acetate: 1,2- vs 1,3-Addition and Structure and Dynamics of Te···O Interactions in D…
2002
The compounds Cl 3 Te[CH 2 CH(Cl)CH 2 O(H)...].Cl 2 Te[-CH 2 CH(Cl)CH 2 O-] (1) and Cl 3 Te-[CH 2 CH(CH 2 Cl)OC(CH 3 )=O...] (2) were prepared by the reaction of TeCl 4 with allyl alcohol and allyl acetate, respectively. Their molecular and crystal structures were investigated by single-crystal X-ray analysis, 1 H- 1 H-NOESY experiments, IR spectroscopy, and ab initio geometry optimization. 1 is a composite compound, whose subunits Cl 2 Te[-CH 2 CH(Cl)-CH 2 O-] (1A) and Cl 3 Te[CH 2 CH(Cl)CH 2 O(H))...] (1B) are linked in the solid state via Te...Cl-Te and O...H-O bridges. Both Te atoms are involved in similar five-membered rings, having a covalent Te-O bond in one case (1A) and a dative Te…
Structural Characterization and Magnetic Properties of the First 2,2‘-Bipyrimidine-Containing Iron(III) Complexes
1998
Two new iron(III) complexes of the formulas [Fe(bpm)Cl3(H2O)]·H2O (1) and [Fe2(bpm)Cl6(H2O)2]·2H2O (2) (bpm = 2,2‘-bipyrimidine) have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a = 8.593(2) A, b = 17.669(4) A, c = 8.928(2) A, β = 102.36(2)°, and Z = 4 for 1 and a = 6.422(3) A, b = 11.999(4) A, c = 12.297(6) A, β = 93.82(4)°, and Z = 2 for 2. The structure of complex 1 is made up of neutral [Fe(bpm)Cl3(H2O)] mononuclear units and water molecules of crystallization. The monuclear units are linked through hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecule and one of the…
Involvment of docosanoïc acid (C22=0), and of very long chain fatty acids (tetracosanoïc acid (C24=0), hexacosanoïc acid (C26=0) in Alzheimer's disea…
2013
In the brain and in the plasma of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), marked accumulation of C22:0 and of very long chain fatty acids (C24:0 ; C26:0) have been reported. Important decreases of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6 n-3) have also been described as well as quantitative and qualitative modifications of plasmalogens. Altogether, these lipid modifications suggest an implication of peroxisomal metabolism disorders in the physiopathology of AD. Therefore, the biological activities of C22:0, C24:0 and C26:0 have been studied on human neuronal cells SK-N-BE. On these cells, the lipotoxicity of fatty acids (C22:0, C24:0 and C26:0) leads to various cellular modifications: topographical…
Organotin(IV) chloride complexes with phosphocholine and dimyristoyl-L-?-phosphatidylcholine
2000
Several complexes of R n SnCl 4-n (R = Me, Ph, n = 1-3; R = nBu, n = 2, 3) with phosphocholine and dimyristoyl-L-α-phosphatidylcholine (phospholipid) have been synthesized and characterized by means of Mossbauer spectroscopy and NMR. Triorganotin chlorides form complexes of (R 3 SnCl) 2 .L stoichiometry with a trigonal bipyramidal pentacoordinate tin environment, while the others form 1:1 complexes with an octahedral hexacoordinate tin environment, with the ligands coordinating through anionic phosphodiester moieties in all cases.
Human neuroglobin: crystals and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis
2002
Neuroglobin, a recently discovered member of the haemoglobin superfamily, is primarily expressed in the brain of humans and other vertebrates, where it has been proposed to enhance O(2) supply in response to hypoxia or ischaemia, protecting the neuron from hypoxic injury. Neuroglobin is the first example of a vertebrate haemoglobin in which a hexacoordinate haem geometry has been detected. A triple mutant (replacing three Cys residues) of human neuroglobin (151 amino acids) has been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized in two crystal forms, the best of which diffracts to 1.95 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to space group P2(1), with unit-ce…
