Polymerisation von methylmethacrylat mit alkaliorganischen verbindungen. Über die stereospezifische polymerisation mit alkaliorganischen verbindungen…
1962
Methylmethacrylat kann durch alkalimetallorganische Verbindungen zu Produkten mit sehr verschiedener sterischer Struktur polymerisiert werden. Es wird der Einflus des Kations des Initiators, des Losungsmittels und der Temperatur auf die Taktizitat der Polymeren untersucht. In apolaren Losungsmitteln entstehen vornehmlich isotaktische Polymerisate, wobei der Anteil an isotaktischen Verknupfungen in den mit lithiumorganischen Verbindungen hergestellten Produkten am hochsten ist und mit natrium- und kaliumorganischen Initiatoren in dieser Reihenfolge abfallt. In polaren Losungsmitteln entstehen hauptsachlich syndiotaktische Polymere, wobei Lithiumalkyle die hochste Zahl syndiotaktischer Verknu…
Kinetic properties of hexameric tyrosinase from the crustacean Palinurus elephas.
2008
Tyrosinases catalyze hydroxylation of monophenols to o-diphenols and their subsequent oxidation to o-quinones, whereas catecholoxidases catalyze only the latter reaction. Both enzymes occur in all organisms and are Type 3 copper proteins that perform the first steps of melanin formation. In arthropods, they play an essential role in the sclerotization of the exoskeleton. Very few phenoloxidases are characterized structurally or kinetically and the existence of an actual tyrosinase activity has not been demonstrated in most cases. Here we present for the first time a complete kinetic characterization of a tyrosinase from a crustacean (Palinurus elephas) including the influence of inhibitors.…
Interactions of diaryl-polyamines with nucleic acids. Allosteric effects with dinuclear copper complexes
2002
Abstract A series of α,ω-diarylamines with a variable number of ethylenediamine units between terminal naphthylrings shows dramatic affinity changes towards double-stranded nucleic acids, particularly upon complexation with Cu(II) ions. Metal salts alone have under the applied conditions only a negligible effect. The affinity of the metal-free ligands towards nucleic acids shows significant differences to those of the underlying polyamines, with a reversed stabilization of DNA instead of the usually observed preference for RNA. The affinity changes and preliminary NMR studies are in line with intercalation of naphthylrings into the double-stranded nucleic acid, which is hampered by complex …
A sterically congested 1,2-diphosphino-1'-boryl-ferrocene: synthesis, characterization and coordination to platinum.
2019
International audience; A new class of tritopic ferrocene-based ambiphilic compound has been prepared by assembling diphosphino- and boryl-substituted cyclopentadienides at iron. The presence of five sterically demanding substituents on the ferrocene platform induces conformation constraints, as apparent from XRD and NMR data, but does not prevent chelating coordination to platinum. The Lewis acid moiety is pendant in both the free ligand and the platinum complex.
Barriers to rotation in ortho-substituted tertiary aromatic amides: Effect of chloro-substitution on resonance and distortion
2018
Planarity of the amide bond represents one of the most widely recognized properties of amides. Herein, we report a combined structural and computational study on the effect of ortho-substitution on resonance and barriers to rotation in tertiary aromatic amides. We demonstrate that ortho-chloro substitution in a class of benzamides that are important from the reactivity and medicinal chemistry perspective results in increased barriers to rotation around both the N-C(O) and C-C(O) axes. The effect of steric hindrance on structures, resonance energies, barriers to rotation, and proton affinities is discussed. The present study strongly supports the use of ortho-substitution in common benzamide…
The Importance of Electronic Dimensionality in Multiorbital Radical Conductors.
2019
The exceptional performance of oxobenzene-bridged bis-1,2,3-dithiazolyls 6 as single-component neutral radical conductors arises from the presence of a low-lying π-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, which reduces the potential barrier to charge transport and increases the kinetic stabilization energy of the metallic state. As part of ongoing efforts to modify the solid-state structures and transport properties of these so-called multiorbital materials, we report the preparation and characterization of the acetoxy, methoxy, and thiomethyl derivatives 6 (R = OAc, OMe, SMe). The crystal structures are based on ribbonlike arrays of radicals laced together by S···N' and S···O' secondary bondin…
Iron(III) bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetate based decanuclear metallacycles: synthesis, structure, magnetic properties and DFT calculations
2016
The synthesis, structural aspects, magnetic interpretation and theoretical rationalizations for a new member of the ferric wheel family, a decanuclear iron(III) complex with the formula [Fe10(bdtbpza)10(μ2-OCH3)20] (1), featuring the N,N,O tridentate bis(3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate ligand, are reported. The influence of the steric effect on both the core geometry and coordination mode is observed. Temperature dependent (2.0–300 K range) magnetic susceptibility studies carried out on complexes 1 established unequivocally antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions between high-spin iron(III) centers (S = 5/2), leading to a ground state S = 0. The mechanism of AF intramolecular coupling was…
Guest Removal and External Pressure Variation Induce Spin Crossover in Halogen-Functionalized 2-D Hofmann Frameworks.
2020
The effect of halogen functionalization on the spin crossover (SCO) properties of a family of 2-D Hofmann framework materials, [FeIIPd(CN)4(thioX)2]·2H2O (X = Cl and Br; thioCl = (E)-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)methanimine) and thioBr = (E)-1-(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)methanimine)), is reported. Inclusion of both the chloro- and bromo-functionalized ligands into the Hofmann-type frameworks (1Cl·2H2O and 2Br·2H2O) results in a blocking of spin-state transitions due to internal chemical pressure effects derived by the collective steric bulk of the halogen atoms and guest molecules. Cooperative one-step SCO transitions are revealed by either guest r…
Breaking Bonds and Forming Nanographene Diradicals with Pressure.
2017
New anthanthrone-based polycyclic scaffolds possessing peripheral crowed quinodimethanes have been prepared. While the compounds adopt a closed-shell butterfly shaped structure in the ground state, a concave-to-convex fluxional dynamic inversion is accessible with a low energy barrier through an open-shell diradicaloid transition-state. Mainly driven by the release of strainattributed to the steric hindrance at the peri position of the anthanthrone core, a low-lying open-shell diradical is accessible through planarization of the core, which can be achieved by thermal excitation in solution. Alternatively, planarization can be achieved by application of mild pressure in the solid state, in w…
Straightforward Synthesis of Donor‐Stabilised Phosphenium Adducts from Imidazolium‐2‐carboxylate and Their Electronic Properties (Eur. J. Inorg. Chem…
2007
The cover picture shows one of donor-stabilized phosphenium compounds which have been obtained by direct addition of chlorophosphanes to the 1,3-dimethylimidazolium-2-carboxylate without any further purification step. Their stronger κ-acceptor character similar to phosphites and their ionic nature render these ligands very promising in the development of new continuous-flow catalytic processes. Details of phosphorylation mechanisms of imidazolium-2-carboxylate as well as the electronic and steric properties of these adducts are discussed in the article by J. Andrieu et al. on p. 4877 ff.
