Vor dem Hintergrund der zunehmenden Veränderung des städtischen Lebensumfeldes durch Gentrifizierung, investorenfreundliche Stadtpolitik, Privatisierung öffentlicher Räume, Einsparung öffentlicher Investitionen und den Abbau demokratischer Beteiligungsinstrumente haben wir uns gefragt: Wie könnte eine solidarische Stadt der Zukunft aussehen? Welche Gegenentwürfe zu aktuell herrschenden Paradigmen in der Stadtentwicklung zeigen uns Wege aus der Alternativlosigkeit hin zu einer solidarischen Praxis auf Quartiersebene? Im Rahmen einer angewandten kritischen Geografie möchten wir zeigen, dass es eine Vielzahl an Projekten und Initiativen gibt, die die Kreativlosigkeit, zu der uns der Neoliberalismus erzogen hat, durchbrechen und an konkreten Ideen und deren praktischer Umsetzung arbeiten. Als theoretische Annäherung dafür setzen wir uns mit Utopien und deren Potenzialen für eine politische Praxis auseinander. Da wir selbst im Kontext stadtpolitischer Gruppen engagiert sind, nutzen wir die aktivistische Stadtforschung als methodischen Rahmen unserer Forschung. Daraus entstanden ist ein Faltblatt, der „Kompass für ein solidarisches Quartier“, welcher als aktivistisches Werkzeug und Ideengeber für die konkrete Umsetzung transformativer Stadtpolitik dienen soll.
Cyclovoltammetric measurements of solutions containing the rather basic tetra-(2′-pyridyl)pyrazine allow to detect even traces of water and thus can be used as a touchstone for aprotic (cH⊕ < 1 ppm) conditions. On exchange of the “innocent” tetrabutylammonium R4N⊕ as supporting electrolyte cation by “interactive” ones such as Li⊕) or Na⊕, considerable changes in the reduction potentials are observed due to ion pair formation.
Conditions for ENDOR measurem ents of organosulfur radical cations are discussed and tested. The one electron oxidation of a variety of aromatic sulfur com pounds comprising benzene-1,2-dithiole, 1,4-dithiine, thianthrene and diphenylsulfide derivatives as well as 33S isotope-marked bis(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)disulfide is accomplished using the oxygen-free, powerful and selective AlCl3/H2CCl2 reagent. Partly with substantial structural changes, paramagnetic M⊕ species of 1,2-benzodithiete, 1,4-dithiine, thianthrene and diphenyl sulfide result. Their temperature-dependent ENDOR signal patterns provide numerous information e.g. on radical cation structure and dynamics, on the rather high sulfur spin populations or on the spin rotation interaction dominated relaxation behaviour. Accordingly, to obtain optimum ENDOR effects in organosulfur radical cations low temperature measurements are required, and especially for still undiscovered 33S ENDOR couplings, small g factor anisotropies and 33S spin densities appear to be necessary.
For the first time, 107,109Ag ENDOR measurements in solution are reported. In addition, the formation of the known paramagnetic contact ion pair [Ag⊕(PR3)2(R2H2C6O2·⊖] on reduction of 3,5-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinone in THF solution containing soluble silver salts and triphenylphosphine is studied by cyclic voltammetry.
Semiquinone radical anions are prototype compounds for contact ion pair formation with metal counter cations. In order to investigate the still open question whether bulky alkyl groups can sterically interfere, diphenoquinone derivatives O=C(RC=CH)2C=C(HC=CR)2C=O with R = C(CH3)3, CH(CH3)2 and CH3 have been selected and the following ESR/ENDOR results are obtained for the alkaline metal cations: The tetrakis(tert-butyl)-substituted radical anion only adds Li⊕ and Na⊕, while K⊕ forms no ion pair. The 3,3ʹ,5,5ʹ-tetra(isopropyl)diphenoquinone radical anion is accessible to all cations Me⊕, although Rb⊕ and Cs⊕ seem to be present solvent-separated in solution. The tetramethyl-substituted radical anion unfortunately polymerizes rapidly. Additional information concerns the ESR/ENDOR proof for ion triple radical cation formation [Li⊕ M•⊖Li⊕]•⊕, or the difference in the coupling constants upon Me⊕ docking at one δ⊖O=C group, suggesting that about 87% of the spin density is located in the cation-free molecular half of the diphenoquinone radical anion. Based on the wealth of ESR/ENDOR information, crystallization of the contact ion pairs and their structural characterization should be attempted.
The one-electron transfer to large π-delocalized hydrocarbons provides an interesting possibility to crystallize solvent-separated ion-pair salts containing optimally solvated cations. Accordingly, the reduction of 9.9′-bianthryl in aprotic 1.2-dimethoxyethane (DME) solution at a sodium metal mirror allows to grow dark blue, brick-like crystals of its radical anion and threefold DME-solvated sodium cation. The structure of the radical anion is very similar to that recently published for the neutral molecule. According to AM 1 enthalpy hypersurface calculations based on the structural data, the torsion angle between 60° and 120° is determined by the lattice packing and the negative charge is -π-delocalized predominantly within only one anthracene subunit. The counter cation [Na⊕(DME)3], reported only three times so far, shows a sixfold propeller-like coordination of approximate D3 skeletal symmetry with contact distances Na⊕···O between 232 and 243 pm and angles ≮ONa⊕O varying between 69° and 159°. Due to the small repulsion between the chelating DME molecules, the isodesmically calculated Na⊕ solvation enthalpy is more negative than that of the analogous tetrahydrofuran complex [Na⊕(THF)6] - as confirmed by the laboratory experience that salts of less stable anions are preferentially crystallized from a strongly cation solvating DME solution.
The sodium salt of the most simple polynitro-substituted hydrocarbon anion. Na⊕⊖C(NO2)3, (for a hazard warning cf. [***]) crystallizes from ether solutions without and with addition of 18-crown-6 either in a polymer band. [(Na⊕⊖C(NO2)3)dioxane]∞, or as a solvent- separated ion pair, [(Na⊕/18-crown-6)(THF2]⊕[(Na⊕/18-crown-6)(O2N-C⊖(NO2)2)2]⊖. The Na⊕ cations are each 8-fold coordinated in hexagonal bipyramidal arrangement. According to extensive quantum-chemical calculations based on the structure coordinates, the formation of these novel salts can be traced back to the charge distribution in the anions ⊖C(NO2)3. which due to negatively charged oxygen centers are favorable complex ligands. The structure determining effects of solvation are discussed.
The following mixed-stack donor/acceptor complexes {D···A}∞ have been crystallized and their structures determined: {hexamethylbenzene···3,5-dicyano-1-nitrobenzene hexamethylbenzene···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞, {pyrene···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞, {anthracene···(3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene)2}∞, {N,N-dimethylanilin···3,5-dinitro- 1-cyanobenzene}∞ and { 1-3-phenylenediamine···3,5-dinitro-1-cyanobenzene}∞. Their lattice packing consists of parallel layers, which contain either donors and acceptors as for hexamethylbenzene and pyrene or composite ones as in the 1:2 complex of anthracene with each one of the acceptors above and below its peripheral rings. The isostructural hexamethylbenzene complexes exhibit almost identical packing coefficients as well as a hexagonal coplanar arrangement of the C6(CH3)6 donors. Weak intermolecular van der Waals interactions are also observed between antiparallel cyano substituents. The interplanar n distances range between 334 and 353 pm, i. e. around 340 pm of two van der Waals n radii. In none of the complexes, however, significant structural changes in either the donor or the acceptor components due to the complex formation are observed. In both the crystals as well as in solution, the donor/acceptor complexes exhibit colours between yellow and red; their long-wavelength charge transfer absorption maxima, therefore, correspond to a lowering in excitation energy of only up to 1 eV relative to that of the components. The different charge transfer in the ground and the CT excited states is also discussed referring to other data such as vertical first ionization energies or interplanar distances {D···A}, as well as to results from semiempirical calculations based on the crystal structure data determined and including approximate configuration interaction.
Tetraphenyl-p-benzoquinone, according to its single crystal structure, shows some steric congestion: its quinone ring is distorted by 7° to a chair conformation, and its phenyl substituents are twisted around their CC axes between 46° and 72°. The half-wave reduction potentials of -0.57 and -1.25 V in acetonitrile confirm negligible π interaction of the phenyl substituents. Addition of alkalimetal tetraphenylborate salts lowers the second reduction potential due to contact ion formation, which can be confirmed by UV/VIS spectra recorded under aprotic conditions. Extensive ESR/ENDOR investigations prove the formation of the following species in THF solution: Tetraphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone radical anion contact ion pairs [M·⊖ Me⊕solv]' (Me⊕: Li⊕, Na⊕, Rb⊕, Cs⊕) and contact triple ion radical cations both with identical cations [M·⊖ (Me⊕solv)2]·⊕ (Me⊕: Li⊕, Na⊕, Cs⊕) and different cations [M·⊖ (Li⊕solv)(Me⊕solv)]·⊕ (Me⊕: Na⊕, Cs⊕). Addition of crown ethers can lead to external solvation of the Me⊕ counter cations, whereas cryptands form internal solvation complexes. The radical anion of 2,6-diphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone adds cations at its phenyl-free molecular half. The radical anion salt [tetraphenyl-p-benzosemiquinone·⊖ (Na⊕(tetrahydropyrane) 2)] could be crystallized and its structure determined at 200 K. In agreement with the Hirota sign rules for contact radicals in solution, the Na⊕ ion is found 62 pm above the π plane and 29° outside the axis of the CO bound, which is elongated due to one-electron reduction by 5 pm to 127 pm.
The following mixed-stack donor/acceptor complexes {D · · · A }∞ have been crystallized and their structures determined: { 1 ,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene · · · tetrabromo-p -benzoquinone}∞ , {hexamethylbenzene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ , { ( 1 ,2 ,4,5-tetramethyl-benzene)2 · · · tetrachloro -p -benzoquinone}∞ , {pyrene · · · tetrafluoro-p-benzoquinone}∞ , {pyrene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ and {perylene · · · tetrabromo-p-benzoquinone}∞ . They exhibit an interesting lattice packing, especially the 2:1 tripeldecker sandwich of tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone, which crystallizes in a herringbone pattern. Their interplanar distances are around 340 pm, i. e. two van der Waals π radii. None of them , however, exhibits in neither the donor nor the acceptor components significant structural changes due to complex formation. Their colours range from orange-red to black in the crystal and to green in H2CCl2 solution. Their long-wavelengths charge transfer absorption maxim a correspond to a lowering in excitation energy of up to 2 eV relative to that of the components. The different charge transfer in the ground and excited states of the donor/acceptor complexes investigated is further discussed referring to data such as cyclovoltammetric reduction potentials as w ell as to results from semiempirical calculations based on the crystal structure data determined and including configuration interaction.
In an especially designed and sealed glass apparatus, a combination of UV/VIS and ESR spectroscopy measurements are performed to follow electron transfer reactions in aprotic (cH⊕ < 0,1 ppm) solution. For the sodium metal reductions of the tetracyano-substituted title compounds, the novel technique provides the following detailed information: 1,2,4,5- tetracyanobenzene is uniformly reduced to its radical anion, for which additional geometryoptimized MNDO calculations predict an already significant cyanine disortion. For 7,7,8,8- tetracyano-p-quinodimethane, UV/VIS band shape analysis allows to detect in the saturated THF reduction solution the 16300 cm-1 absorption of the donor/acceptor complex formed in the equilibrium TCNQ·⊖ + TCNQ ⇆ {TCNQ·⊖···TCNQ}, which according to a literature search has been crystallized and structurally characterized in paramagnetic salts such as [Me2⊕ (TCNQ·⊖)2(TCNQ)].
The absolute configurations of the diastereomeric 10-hydroxyaloins, which may be regarded as parent structures for other naturally occurring oxanthrone-C-glucosyls, have been established as 10R, 16 R (A) and 10 S, 16 R (B) by an X-ray structure analysis of the A-octaacetyl derivative (C 16 is the anomeric glucosyl carbon atom). The determination was confirmed by CD spectroscopic comparison with the structural analogues aloins A and B, which should prove useful for making future configurational assignments within this class of compounds. A conformational analysis by the use of a molecular modeling method based on force-field calculations reveals the presence of an extra- and an intra-form, the extra-form of which is energetically preferred.
The compound [(PyH)3Br][AlBr4]2 is formed by melting stoichiometric amounts of AlBr/PyHBr in a ratio of 2:3. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with lattice constants a = 1365.5(2), b = 1616.0(2), c = 2783.7(3) pm, Z = 8, Dc = 2.21 g/cm3. The structure was solved from 2810 diffractometer measured intensities (Cu -Kα radiation) and refined to Rw (F) = 0.071. The cation shows three pyridinium ions attached via N - H - Br hydrogen bonds to a central bromide ion. The N - Br distances are 321(1), 321(2) and 332(2) pm.
Crystals of lemon yellow dipotassium nitranilate and of yellow disodium nitranilate dihydrate have been grown and their structures determined at 290 and 200 K. The six-member- ed, O2N-disubstituted rings show a pronounced cyanine distortion with all four CO bonds identical and the two (OCC(NO2)CO)⊖ chains connected by single CC bonds of each 156 pm length. In the anhydrous K⊕ salt, the ring is planar, but in the Na⊕ hydrate salt it exhibits a twist conformation. Quantum chemical calculations allow to reproduce the structure in every detail, demonstrate strong charge alternation along the cyanine chains with considerable delocalization into the O2N acceptor substituents, and suggest that the rather long connecting CC bonds contain positively charged carbon centers on both ends. In addition, metal ion coordination effects as well as the rather high pKa value of nitranilic acid are rationalized.
The structures of seven di- or tetrasubstituted p-benzoquinone derivatives O=C(XC=CH )2C=O and O=C(XC=CX)2C=O with substituents X = -OCH3, -N(CH2)5, - N(CH2CH2)2O, -Cl, -CN and -⊕N(HC=CH)2C-N(CH3)2 are presented and discussed in comparison with published ones substituted by X = -Si(CH3)3, -C6H5, -N(CH3)2, -⊕N(HC=CH)2CN(CH3)2, -O⊖ , and - NO2. Based on the introduction, in which halfwave-reduction potentials, geometry-optimized quantum-chemical calculations on substituent perturbation and known structural data of p-benzoquinone derivatives are used to characterize their molecular ground states. The structural changes indicate how substituent perturbations might be rationalized. Of the categories defined - imperturbed, donor, donor/acceptor and acceptor perturbed - the donorsubstituted p-benzoquinones do exhibit the largest differences, often called cyanine distorsion. In very satisfactory agreement with extensive semiempirical calculations, all effects determined experimentally are discussed in terms of varying charge distribution. With respect to the biochemical importance of p-benzoquinone derivatives, this first structural summary points out important facets.
Chelate complexes of 1,2-dimesitoylbenzene radical anion with alkali metal cations exhibit in aprotic solution extremely large ESR /ENDOR metal coupling constants. For rationalization, structures of both the neutral molecule (H3C)3H2C6 - CO - C6H4 - CO - C6H2(CH3)3, in which the two carbonyl groups are twisted out of the benzene ring plane by dihedral angles of ± 3̄7̄°, and a sodium contact ion quadruple have been determined. One of the dimers [dimesitoylbenzeneH⊖ (Na⊕H2N H2C - CH2NH2)]2, although generated by Na metal mirror reduction of 1,2-dimesitoylbenzene in aprotic DME solution with added ethylendiamine for better electron transfer, surprisingly contains two 245 pm short (!) hydrogen bridges ⊖O ··· (H)O and in addition two solvation bridges e ⊖O ··· Na⊕(H2NH2C - CH2NH2) ··· O⊖. Results of MNDO calculations based on the experimental coordinates support the proposed concept.
UV/VIS and ESR spectra of electron transfer reaction products in aprotic (cH⊕ < 0,1 ppm) solution can be measured in an especially designed and sealed glass apparatus and provide information on unknown facets of the microscopic pathway through the network of interdependent equilibria. For tetraphenyl-p-benzoquinone in tetrahydrofuran, single-electron reduction by a sodium metal mirror produces a red solution and, unexpectedly, after addition of 2.2.2. cryptand, contact with a potassium metal mirror generates a green (!) one. For both, ESR/ENDOR spectra prove the presence of tetraphenyl-p-benzoquinone radical anion. UV/VIS measurements provide the clue: In the equilibrium revealed by repetetive spectra recording, M·⊖solv + Me⊕solv ⇄ [M·⊖···Me⊖]solv, the radical anion is green (vm = 16900 cm-1) and the contact ion pair red (vm=18900 cm-1 ). On ion pair formation, therefore, the excitation energy of the radical anion increases by 0.25 eV.

By analyzing the phase diagrams of some trimethylhalogenosilane/pyridine- and methyl-trichlorosilane/lutidine-systems the existence of the incongruently melting addition compounds Me3SiF · (Pyridine)2, Me3SiCl · (Pyridine)2, MeSiCl3, · (2.5-Lutidine)2, MeSiCl3, · (2.6-Lutidine)2, (MeSiCl3)2 · 3.5-Lutidine, and the congruently melting compounds MeSiCl3 · 2.4-Lutidine, MeSiCl3 · (3.5-Lutidine)2 was proven.
By analyzing the DSC heating curves and the resulting phase diagrams of the systems of dibromodimethylsilane and 2-, 3- or 4-methylpyridine the existence of the congruently melting addition compounds ((CH3)2SiBr2)2 · (3-methylpyridine) and (CH3)2SiBr2 · (4-methylpyridine)2, and the incongruently melting addition compounds ((CH3)2SiBr2)2 · (2-methylpyridine) and ((CH3)2SiBr2)2 · (4-methylpyridine) could be proved.
Phase equilibrium studies of the Lewis acid-base systems AlCl3/PyHBr and AlBr3/PyHI indicate the existence of congruently melting compounds of the molar ratios 1:1 and 2:3.
These results are quite different from those of our studies of the AlCl3/PyHCl and the AlBr3/PyHBr systems, in which four compounds in the molar ratios 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:3 could be detected.
The melting point of pyridinium iodide observed at 284,8 °C (decomp.) differs from the previously reported one.
Trimethylbromosilane and 3,4-lutidine form a 1:1 compound which is stable at room temperature. Single crystals of this compound can be isolated by sublimation. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P 2121,21, with lattice constants a = 737,08(9) pm, b = 1295,7(1) pm, c = 1318,8(3) pm. The crystal structure was refined to Rw = 0,042 and proves an ionic structure.
The title compound has been prepared by the reaction of N-trimethylsilyl-iminotriphenylphos-phorane with copper(II) chloride in boiling CCl4 /C2H5OH, and forms moisture sensitive crystals, which are green in transmittance and black in reflexion. [Me3SiNPPh3 · CuCl2 ] 2 was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by a crystal structure determination (4197 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.049).

The complex consists of centrosymmetric, dimeric molecules with a planar Cu2 Cl2 ring (Cu-CI bond lengths 229 and 231 pm). A terminally bonded CI atom (Cu-CI = 221 pm) and the N atom of the Me3SiNPPh3 ligand (Cu-N = 198.5 pm) complete the coordination number four of the nearly planar surroundings of the Cu atoms.
[MONCl3 · NC - C2Cl3]2 has been prepared by the reaction of MONCl3 with trichloromethyl isocyanidedichloride, CCl3NCCl2 , in CH2Cl2 suspension.

[MONCl3 • NC-C2Cl3]2 forms centrosymmetric dimeric molecules via chloro bridges with Mo-Cl bond lengths of 240.7 and 276.0 pm. The longer MoCl bond of the MOCl2MO ring is caused by the trans influence of the nitride ligand; the MoN bond length of 167 pm corresponds with a triple bond. The 2,3,3-trichloroacrylnitrile ligand is bonded by its nitrogen atom with a bond length of Mo -N = 216 pm; the Mo-N≡C-C sequence is almost linear with a remarkable short C-C bond of 143.0 pm.

[Cp4Ta4S13] (3) can be derived from [Cp3Ta3S7Cl2] (2) by addition of a CpTaS6-unit to a triangle of Ta-atoms bridged by S- and S2-ligands. The niobium atoms in [Cp3Nb3Se5Cl2] (4) arrange in a chain structure with Nb coordination numbers varying from 4-6.

The reaction of [Cp2TiCl2 ] with E(SiMe3)2 leads to dinuclear Ti complexes. In [Cp3Ti2S2Cl] (1) and [Cp3Ti2Se2Cl] (3) two μ2 -S(Se) ligands bridge the Cp2Ti and CpTiCl units, respectively in contrast to these, [Cp4Ti2S2Cl2] (2) contains a μ2η1-S2 bridge connecting two Cp2TiCl fragments. A similar reaction of [CpTiCl3] with Se(SiMe3)2 leads to the tetranuclear cluster [Cp4Ti4Se7O] (4). 4 consists of a Ti4 -tetrahedron which encloses an oxygen atom.

Z = 2, 4373 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.034. Lattice dimensions (-90 °C): a - 959.0(8); b = 1196.5(8); c = 1770.9(11) pm; β = 93.79(4)°. [C6H5-C(NSiMe3)2ZrCl3]2 : space group P21/n. Z = 2, 3160 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.031. Lattice dimensions (-90 °C): a = 971.6(7); b = 1222.2(9); c = 1792.9(10) pm; β = 93.51(5)°.
Both complexes crystallize isotypically, forming centrosymmetric dimeric molecules via chloro bridges with bond lengths of 242.0 and 253.8 pm (Ti), and of 253.7 and 264.9 pm (Zr). The metal atoms complete their distorted octahedral surroundings with two chlorine ligands and the nitrogen atoms of the chelating amidinato ligand. The N atoms of the amidinato group are in equatorial and axial positions. This accounts for the different metal-nitrogen bond lengths of 207 pm (ax) and 199 pm (eq) in the titanium compound and 219 pm (ax) and 214 pm (eq) in the zirconium complex.
W2NCl7 has been prepared by the reaction of tungsten pentachloride with the bromide of Millon's base, [Hg2N]Br, in boiling CCl4. The product forms a dark brown, moisture sensitive crystal powder (μeff = 0.7 B.M. at 21 °C). With phosphoryl chloride, the complex W2NCl7·2 POCl3 is formed. The reaction with chlorine leads to the mixed-valenced W(V)/W(VI) complex W2NCl8 (μeff = 0.5 B.M. at 22 °C), which reacts with tetraphenylphosphonium chloride in CH2Cl2 to form (PPh4)2[W2NCl10] ·2CH2Cl2. The reactions of W2NCl7 with PPh4Cl in molar ratios in CH2Cl2 solution lead to several complexes; one of them was identified bv X-ray diffraction methods to be (PPh4)2[W3Cl9(μ3-N)(0)(μ2-NCl)]2 ·1,5 CH2Cl2, which forms black crystals. The compound crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P21/n with two formula units per unit cell (7318 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.083). The lattice dimensions are (20 °C): a = 994.4; b = 2673; c = 1518.2 pm; β = 101.00°. The compound consists of PPh4⊕ cations and centrosymmetric anions [W3Cl9(μ3-N)(O)(μ2-NCl)]22⊕. The tungsten atoms form a scalene triangle with WW bond lengths of 282 and 278 pm, respectively.

One of the WW edges is bridged by a μ-NCI group with WN bond lengths of 196 und 189 pm. respectively.
[Na-15-Crown-5][MoF5(NCl)] has been prepared as yellow crystals by the reaction of NaF with MoF4(NCl) in the presence of 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution.

[Na-15-crown-5][WF5(NCl)] has been prepared as yellow crystals by the reaction of NaF with WC14(NCl) in the presence of 15-crown-5 in acetonitrile solution. The compound was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group P 21/n, Z = 4 (2945 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.035). Lattice dimensions at - 65 °C: a = 827.2(8); b = 1617.3(13); c = 1372.2(10) pm; β = 99.42(5)°.

WCl4(NCl) has been prepared as a red-brown crystal powder by the reaction of tungsten hexacarbonyl with excess nitrogen trichloride in boiling CCl4. The complex is associated via chloro bridges, forming dimeric units, according to the IR spectrum. Thermal decomposition at 200 °C leads to tungsten nitride trichloride, WNCl3,. With acetonitrile, WCl4(NCl) reacts with formation of the monomeric complex [CH,CN-WCl4(NCl)], which was characterized by its IR spectrum as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group P21/m, Z = 2 (1387 independent observed reflexions, R = 0.07). Lattice dimensions at 20 °C: a = 590.4(3), b = 729.0(3), c = 1124.6(4) pm, β = 100.63(2)°.

(1989)
The title compound has been prepared as a byproduct of the reaction of Se2Cl2 with Ν,Ν,N′-Tris(trimethylsilyl)benzamidine in CH2Cl2 solution. [SeCl2(HNC2N2Ph2)]2 was characterized by an X-ray structure determination. Space group P21/n, Z = 2, 2979 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.032. Lattice dimensions (-65 °C): a = 1050.1(4), b = 1018.9(4), c = 1402.1(6) pm; β = 99.78(3)°. The compound forms centrosymmetric dimeric molecules with SeCl2Se bridges (bond lengths 241.6(1) and 339.3(1) pm), the selenium atoms being members of nearly planar [xxx] selenatriazine rings with Se—N bond lengths of 182.2(2) and 181.5(2) pm.
The PE spectra of the nitrogen-rich title compounds cyanogen azide NC-N3, azodicarbonitrile NC - N = N - CN, azidoacetonitrile NC - H2C - N3, tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (H4C5N)(N )3 and trimethylenetetrazole (H2C)3(CN4) are presented and assigned by radical cation state comparison with related compounds or by Koopmans’ correlation with MNDO eigenvalues. In a low pressure flow system the compounds decompose at higher temperatures, with elimination of the thermodynamically favorable N2 molecule. PE-spectroscopic real-time analysis reveals as further products: NC - N3 → C∞, NC - N = N - CN → NC - CN , NC - H2C - N3 → 2HCN (+ traces NC - HC = NH?) and (H2C)3(CN4) → H2C = N - CN + H2C = CH2. For tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine, a preceding ring opening to the corresponding 2-azidopyridine is observed.
Crystal and molecular structure analysis of the electron rich title compound exhibits an undistorted, yet sterically shielded tetra(primary alkyl)-substituted double bond system with alternating anti-periplanar CH2SiMe3 substituents. The diastereotopic methylene protons have been located and their position correlated to the 1HNMR data and to the ESR hyperfine coupling constants of the corresponding radical cation. In contrast to the highly inert all-carbon derivative, tetraneopentylethene, the more electron-rich and more flexible organosilicon title compound reacts with bromine. Close to orthogonal arrangement between the C-C(H2)-Si planes and the ethene plane ensures effective, fourfold σ/π-hyperconjugation.
In order to determine the influence of OH and O2H-radicals on proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was treated with Fenton’s reagent [Fe(II)SO4+EDTA+H2O2] and with ultraviolet light (λ > 2800 Å) in the presence of H2O2. The action of free radicals produced in this way did not change the properties of the native protein with respect to the sedimentation in the ultracentrifuge or optical rotatory dispersion and electrophoresis under normal conditions. Ampèrometric titration indicated partial oxidation of SH-groups and of 3—5 SS-groups which are not reducible by NaBH4.
Heat aggregation investigated by means of light-scattering was suppressed at pH 7.5 and strongly accelerated at pH 4.6 (range of coagulation), the latter being a result of increased entropy of activation of coagulation velocity.
The difference spectrum against native BSA had positive values of Δε and two maxima at 2480 and 2950 Å.
Ultracentrifugation at room temperature in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, μ=0.18) furnishes a molecular weight of 63 300. In a solution of 8 M urea and borate buffer (pH 9, μ=0.05) fragments with molecular weights between 25 000 and 37 000 were observed while in phosphate buffer (pH 7.3, without urea) at temperatures higher than 46 °C an anomalous behaviour of the concentration gradient indicated an effect which possibly depends on a dissociation equilibrium.
As a consequence oxygen radicals seem to attack not only SH- and SS-groups but at least one covalent bond of the peptide chain. Some experiments of heat aggregation with BSA treated with γ-rays (60Co) gave the same results as BSA treated with Fenton’s reagent or UV-light+H2O2.
Diluted aqueous solutions of some proteins (bovine serum albumin, β-Lactoglobubin, Peroxidase) show weak phosphorescence lasting over several minutes after they have been irradiated with light in the range 3500-4200 A. Addition of Eosin after the irradiation amplifies in some cases the intensity of luminescence to a value of about hundred. If Eosin is present at the irradiation process the excitation to phosphorescence is possible with light of the wavelength 5460 A.
After denaturation processes which destroy the configuration of proteins (Urea, Guanidine-HCI. detergents, heat at higher pH) the ability of phosphorescence disappears altogether; likewise after blocking the SH-groups by benzochinone or a total oxidation or reduction of the SS-groups which causes an complete unfolding of the peptide chain.
In solutions of bovine serum-albumin irradiated with 3650 Å at room temperature and afterwards frozen to -178°C no radicals could be observed by measurements of electron-spin-resonance but they were detectable if the irradiation took place in the presence of H2O2.
The reactions Xanthinoxidase-Xanthine-O2, Peroxidase-H2O2 and bovine serum-albumin-H2O2-Fe (II) EDTA are accompanied by chemiluminescence. By comparison with the behaviour of oxidised serum-albumin it could be shown that the chemical reaction produces an excited state of the native protein.
The observations lead to the conclusion that the weak phosphorescence of long duration originates from a triplet-state which is sufficiently populated only as the consequence of cooperative phenomena attending the undisturbed α-Helix-structure of the protein.
In the course of systematic investigations on sila-substituted parasympatholytics the diphenyl(2-aminoethoxymethyl)silanols 3b and 4b (and its carbon analogue 4a) were synthesized and characterized by their physical and chemical properties. In the solid state 4a and 4b form strong O-H---N hydrogen bonds, which are intramolecular (4a) and intermolecular (4b), respectively. 4a and 4b were found to be weak antimuscarinic agents (4b >4a) and strong papaverine-like spasmolytics (4a ≈4b).
Der Kristalldetektor als Empfänger thermischer Strahlung im Gebiet von 100-1000 μ Wellenlänge
(1957)
A phase equilibrium study of the system aluminiumbromide and pyridiniumbromide has been carried out. The phase diagram of the system indicates the existence of three congruently melting com pounds of the molar ratio AlBr3/PyHBr 1:1, 1:3, 2 :3 and one incongruently melting compound of the molar ratio 1:2 and is therefore similar to the AlCl3-PyHCl system [1].
From theoretical considerations a dynamically distorted octahedron as a result of vibronic coupling between the ground state and the first excited state should exist for 14 electron AX6E systems like TeX62- . A high symmetry crystal field yielding at least a center of symmetry for the Te position stabilizes this fluctuating structure, otherwise statical distortion will be observed. From X-ray diffraction experiments on antifluorite type compounds A2TeX6 (A = Rb. Cs: X = Cl, Br) the averaged structure (m3̅m symmetry) of the anions was found even at very low temperatures. The thermal parameters are not significantly different from those of similar SnX62 compounds. Distortions therefore are very small and are evident from FTIR spectroscopic measurements only. Here very broad T1u-deformation vibration bands are observed down to temperatures <10 K without splitting: Astatically distorted species could not be frozen out. In contrast to XeF6 for TeX62- the energy gap between the threefold, fourfold or sixfold minima of the potential surface (according to the symmetry of one component of the T1u-vibration) is very small and shifted to temperatures lower than reached with the devices used for these experiments.
The title compound has been prepared from (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl2] and CCl4 in CH2Cl2 solution as moisture sensitive crystals, which are black in reflexion and yellow in transmission. (PPh4)2[Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl4] · 2 CH2Cl2 was characterized by a X-ray crystal structure determination (7873 observed independent reflexions. R = 0.048). It crystallizes in the space group P1̄ with one formula unit in the unit cell; the lattice constants are a = 1186.4; b = 1404.0; c = 1451.0 pm; α = 61.98°; β = 78.91°; γ = 78.26°. The structure consists of PPh4⊕ ions. CH2Cl2 molecules and centrosymmetric anions [Mo2(O2C-Ph)4Cl4]2⊝ containinga molybdenum d3 d3 unit with a relatively long Mo=Mo bond of 249.6 pm. The Mo≡Mo group is spanned in a chelate manner by four O atoms of two benzoate groups and by two further single O atoms of two further benzoate groups. Two terminal Cl atoms on each Mo atom complete the pentagonal bipyramidal coordination spheres about the Mo atoms.
MoF4(NCl) has been prepared as a yellow crystal powder by the reaction of diluted fluorine with MoCl3(N3S2) at room temperature. The compound is associated via fluorine bridges, according to the IR spectrum. With acetonitrile, the monomeric complex [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)] is obtained, which was characterized by its IR and 19F NMR spectra as well as by an X-ray structure determination. Crystal data: space group Pm, Z = 2 (1068 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.03). Lattice dimensions at -90 °C: a = 507.1. b = 704.8, c = 995.8 pm, β = 102.02°. The unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules [CH3CN -MoF4(NCl)], the Mo≡N-Cl groups being linear (bond angles 176°, 178°) with bond lengths MoN = 172 and NCI = 159, 162 pm. In the trans position to the MoNCl group, the nitrogen atom of the acetonitrile molecule is coordinated.
Cp2TiSe5 has been prepared by the reaction of trim ethyltetradecylammonium-polyselenide with Cp2TiCl2 in ethanol solution and subsequent extraction of the dry residue with dichloromethane. Cp2TiSe5 crystallizes in the space group P1 with two formula units in the unit cell (2559 observed, independent reflexions, R = 0.074). The cell dimensions are a = 808.6, b = 822.6, c = 1190.7 pm, α - 96.28°, β - 106.06°, γ = 108.78°. The structure consists of discrete Cp2TiSe5 molecules with the TiSe5, ring in the chair conformation.
The Corona pandemic has painfully taught us the threat of new pathogens in a globalized world and how vital modern vaccines are. Platform technologies play an important role in the discovery of new vaccines as reducing the time for the development dramatically — time that saves lives. Here, we present the protein Dodecin and how it may be utilized as a versatile platform technology to produce cheap and robust new vaccines for everyone in all parts of the world.
Coordination of substitutionally inert [Ru(bpy)2]2+ fragments (bpy: 2,2′-bipyridine) to the a-iminoketone chelate ligands pyrazine-2-dimethylcarboxamide (4) and 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (5) yields the complexes [(N,O-4)Ru(bpy)2]2⊕, [(O,O′-5⊖)Ru(bpy)2]⊕ and {(N,O; N′,O′-5)[Ru(bpy)2]2}4⊕ which exhibit a rich electrochemistry. The distinctly different electronic structures of the complexes are evident from the ESR behaviour of paramagnetic intermediates: N.O-coordinated complexes have the unpaired electron residing in the ligand n system upon reduction, albeit with g<2 for the binuclear complex of 5. The paramagnetic O,O′-coordinated mononuclear complex with 5 has its redox potentials shifted positively relative to that of the binuclear system. These results are particularly noteworthy because 4 and 5 can be regarded as model compounds for the flavin and methoxatin dehydrogenase cofactors.
(NBu4)[CoCl3(PPh3)] reacts with Se(SiMe3)2 to form the new clusters [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][CoCl3(PPh3)] (6) and [Co8Se8(PPh3)6][Co6Se8(PPh3)6] (7). The structures of 6 and 7 have been determ ined by X-ray diffraction. 6 and 7 crystallize in the space group P1̄ with two formula units per unit cell and with the following lattice constants at 180 K: 6: a = 1413.8(10), b - 2224.2(23), c = 2348.4(17) pm, α = 86.06(5), β = 86.58(5), γ = 76.11(5)°; 7: a = 1465.9(4), b = 1627.6(6), c = 2505.7(6) pm, α - 98.69(2), β = 96.23(2), γ = 113.06(2)°. The cluster structures of the [Co8Se8(PPh3)6]n (n = 0, 1 +) depend on the total number of electrons in the cluster units.
Photoelektronen-Spektren und Moleküleigenschaften, 110 [1,2]. Tricyanmethan-Derivate X—C(CN)3
(1987)
The photoelectron spectra of tricyanomethane derivatives X-C(CN)3 with substituents X = H, CH3, Br and C6H5 have been recorded and are assigned based on MNDO calculations as well as on radical cation state comparison with the iso(valence)electronic P(CN)3, within the series of cyanomethanes H4-nC(CN)n, and with each other. For HC(CN)3, no traces of the isomeric dicyano, ketimine HN = C=C(CN)2 are detected in the gas phase. Tricyanomethylbenzene, H5C6-C(CN)3, exhibiting the highest first ionization energy of any known singly acceptor substituted phenyl derivative, demonstrates the tremendous electron withdrawing effect of the -C(CN)3 group.
Trifluoromethyl azide decomposes in a low-pressure flow system at rather high temperatures by splitting off N2. The nature of the resulting products depends largely on the wall material of the pyrolysis tube: using molybdenum above 1120 K, FCN is observed exclusively. Neither F2C=NF nor F3C-N=N-CF3 can be detected as intermediates by comparing their PE spectra with those continuously recorded while increasing the temperature. F3C-N = N - CF3 fragments already at 870 K to give N2 and F3C-CF3. The PE spectra of F3CN3 and F2C=NF are assigned based on MNDO calculations.
The HCl elimination from β-chloroethyl azide (1-azido-2-chloroethane) over potassium tert. butanolate at 350 K in a low pressure flow system is optimized using PE spectroscopic real-time gas analysis. The highly explosive vinyl azide formed can be purified by cool-trapping the by-products. Its subsequent and virtually hazard-free pyrolysis yields 2H-azirine, which can be isolated at temperatures below 240 K.
In contrast, the direct pyrolysis of β-chloroethyl azide requires temperatures above 710 K and results in a simultaneous split-off of both HCl and N2, yielding acetonitrile as the main thermolysis product. No intermediates such as β-chloroethanimine or ketenimine are observed, a result which is interpreted in terms of chemical activation.
The reactive intermediate methyleneaminoacetonitrile H2C = N - C H2 - CN has been generated via thermal retrotrimerization of N ,N',N"-tris(cyanomethyl)hexahydro-s-triazine and characterized by its photoelectron, mass and low-temperature NMR spectra. A fully geometryoptimized MNDO calculation allows to assign the observed ionization energies and yields estimates for other molecular properties, e.g. a rather high dipole moment.
During photooxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) products can be formed which develop chemiluminescence on treatment with bases. Flash photolysis experiments show that this is the case only after previous formation of cation radicals, e.g. in the presence of CCl4 as solvent or of e-acceptors in aprotic solvents. These radicals react with oxygen to peroxy-radicals which can combine to several kinds of peroxides. Primary and secondary peroxides are the sources of chemiluminescent activity.
Chemiluminescent peroxides can also be obtained by irradiation of PA H carbonyl com pounds in protic solvents under nitrogen. It is assumed that two excited CO groups combine exceptionally with their O-atom s thus creating a peroxide bond. 24 aromatic aldehydes, ketones, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides and coumarines develop chemiluminescence after illumination with wavelengths ≥ 320 nm with intensities varying 4 magnitudes of order.
The sensitivity of the photochemiluminescent method is sufficient to detect amounts of PA H and their CO derivatives in the ppb to ppm range.
The reduction potentials of 40 aromatic nitro compounds Rπ(NO2)n with Rπ = benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, fluorene and carbazole and n = 1 to 4 nitro groups are determined by cyclic voltammetry in DMF under aprotic conditions. The perturbation by the strongly electron accepting substituents can be rationalized via correlation with HMO eigenvalues. Based on reversibility criteria, the electrochemical behaviour is discussed and the compounds are classified with respect to reversible or irreversible one-electron transfer as well as up to 4 (quasi)-reversible reduction steps. The CV data measured can be used to predict redox reactions of aromatic nitro compounds in inert solvents.
A phase equilibrium study of the system aluminiumchloride and pyridiniumchloride has been carried out. The phase diagram of the system indicates the existence of four congruently melting compounds of the molar ratio AlCl3/PyHCl 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 2:3.
The synthesis of [Ph4As+]2[Cl4Re(NS)(NSCl)2-] · CH2Cl2 (4) from the reaction of S4N4, Cl4ReN, and Ph4AsCl is reported. CH2Cl2 is used as solvent. The reaction of S4N4 with Re2Cl10 similarly leads to the salt [Ph4As+][Cl2ReNS-] (5) in a smaller yield. 4 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̅ with Z = 2, a - 10.434(2), b = 12.1454(6), c = 21.125(2) Å, a = 81.210(6), β = 86.70(1), γ = 76.624(8)°.
The 1:2 molecular complexes formed from 1,4-phenylenebis(dimethylphosphane) and boranes, trialkyl-aluminum and -gallium have been reduced by potassium in THF in the presence of a K+- complexing crown ether. The bis(borane) complex anion radicals proved to be quite persistent, whereas corresponding aluminum radical complexes could only be observed below 240 K. The bis(trimethylgallium) complex gave gallium metal on reduction with potassium. An ESR spectroscopic comparison with the anion radicals of the free ligand, of corresponding chalcogenides, imines and phosphonium salts demonstrates negligible effects of P-complexation on the π spin distribution but high sensitivity of the 31P coupling constant towards coordination of electrophiles at the basic P(III) centers
The neutral title compound, 8,8-bis(dimethylamino)dibenzo-[a,d]-heptafulvene, exhibits a first vertical ionization potential of only 6.98 eV and, therefore, can also be oxidized by AlCl3 in H2CCl2 solution. The radical cation generated shows a complex multiplet signal pattern, which is assigned based on additional ENDOR measurements. The photoelectron (PE) and ESR spectra of the 112 valence electron molecule are interpreted by “pararneter-optimized” HMO and by geometry-optimized MNDO calculations, which both suggest a non-planar π-type ground state with most of the charge and the spin distributed over the dibenzoheptatriene part of the radical cation.
The photoelectron (PE) spectra of bis(dialkylamino) acetylenes R2N-C≡C-NR2 and of tetrakis(dialkylamino) allenes (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2 with R = CH3, C2H5 exhibit characteristic ionization patterns which are assigned to π radical cation states of the two molecular halves twisted against each other. The low first ionization potentials between 7.0 eV and 7.7 eV stimulated attempts to oxidize using AlCl3 in H2CCl2 or D2CCl2. The hyperfine structured ESR spectra observed can be unequivocally assigned to the ethylene radical cations R2N-HC=CH -NR2˙⊕ which are formed from the obviously non-persistent species R2N-C≡C-NR2˙⊕ via a hydrogen transfer. During the oxidation of the dialkylamino-substituted allenes no paramagnetic intermediates could be detected, presumably due to a rapid dimerisation of the allene radical cation (R2N)2C=C=C(NR2)2˙⊕.
Das Reduktionsverhalten von Pentacarbonylpyridin-Komplexen des Chroms, Molybdäns und Wolframs
(1984)
The reduction of group VIB metal pentacarbonyl complexes and of iodomethylates of 4- trimethylsilyl-, 4-acetyl- and 4-cyanopyridine has been investigated. Informations on the dissociation of the complexes and on the potential and reversibility of the one-electron reduction were obtained by cyclic voltammetry in DMF, whereas electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of the primary reduction products in the 4-acetylpyridine series revealed the distribution of the unpaired electron. The results suggest that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is a ligand centered π*-orbital in the 4-acetyl- and 4-cyanopyridine complexes, thus confirming assignments from photochemistry. The results allow an assessment of both N-coordination and substituent effects at the heterocyclic ligand.
Crystals of [Al(C5H5N)4Cl2][AlCl4] are orthorhombic, Pna21, Z = 4, a = 18.522(7), b = 15.141(5), c = 9.593(3) Å, V = 2690(2) Å3 , Dc = 1.440 g/cm3 .

The crystal structure shows the complex to be trans-dichloro-tetrakis(pyridine)aluminium(III) tetrachloroaluminat(III). The mean trans Al-Cl-and trans Al-N-distances in the octahedron are 2.279(3) and 2.070(4) Å, respectively.

The structure has been solved from 4707 diffractometer measured intensities and refined to Rw(F) = 0.028. The crystal structure shows octahedral complexes AlCl3·3 (C5H5N) with trans geometry. The Al-N-distance trans to chlorine (2.096(2) Å) is significantly longer than the two other Al-N-distances (mean 2.072(2) Å).
By analyzing the melting point diagrams of some methylhalogenosilane-pyridine systems the existance of the stable addition compounds CH3SiCl3 · 2 py, CH3SiBr3 · 2 py, (CH3)2SiBr2 · py, (CH3)3SiBr · py was proved. In the systems (CH3)2SiCl2/py and (CH3)2SiBr2/py unstable 1:2-complexes are also found. (CH3)3SiCl forms no complexes with pyridine.
With new X-ray data from a crystal of stoichiometric K0.33MoO3 the crystal structure of this compound was refined until R(anisotropic) = 0.023. The characteristic distortion of the Mo-O octahedra is discussed.
The He(I) photoelectron spectra of the following molecules with S·̱·̱̱·̱·̱·̱̱·̱N multiple bonds ... are assigned by radical cation state comparison between the chemically related compounds as well as by MO models based on CNDO calculations. From the ionisation energies of the O=S=O/HN=S=O pair a parameter απSN can be deduced, which proves to be useful in the discussion of other SN compounds like R3C-N=S=O and RN=S=NR.

(1982)
The relative configuration of the thermolabile chamazulene precursor matricine has been established by NMR spectrometric studies.
The NMR spectral data prove to be consistent with the well-known structure of the chamomile component. On the basis of our results the levorotatory natural substance moreover can be specified stereochemically as (−)-(3S*, 3aR*, 4S*, 9R*, 9aS*, 9bS*)-4-acetoxy-2,3,3a,4,5,9,9a,9b-octahydro-9-hydroxy-3,6,9-trimethylazuleno[4,5-b]furan-2-one.
The stereochemistry of the bisaboloids in chamomile-with the exception of bisabolol-oxide C-has been elucidated. The in-vitro-examination of the mutual convertibilities of some bisaboloids gave evidence for the stereochemical accordance of the common chiral centres of all the bisaboloids. The absolute configurations of the remaining third asymmetric carbon atoms in bisabololoxide A and B have been determined by NMR spectrometric studies in comparison with their unnatural semisynthetic epimers. All the stereogenic centres of the bisabololoxides A and B, of (-)-α-bisabolol and of bisabolonoxide A turn out to be S-configurated.
The reactions of diluted aqueous solutions of SO2 resp. HSO3-ions with MnO4-or Ce4+ ions in the pH range 1-4 produce chemiluminescence in the spectral region of 450-600 nm. Measurements of the time course of the light emission and their simulation on an analog computer led to a reaction scheme in which a recombination product of primarily formed HSO3 radicals -of a lifetime of about 1 second -appears as precursor of electronically excited SO2 molecules. The participation of singlet oxygen can be excluded because at least the reaction with Ce4+ ions proceeds also in the absence of oxygen.
Eight-membered rings of the composition [SO2(NR)2PR′]2 3a-d with R = CH3, C2H5, and R′ = CH3, C6H5, were prepared from substituted sulfamides and dichlorophosphanes in the presence of a tertiary amine. These molecules were characterized on the basis of 1H and 31P NMR investigations and of mass spectra. 3 a reacts with phosphorus pentachloride to yield the spirocyclic derivative 4 with the phosphorus atom in the center of two four-membered rings. Methyliodide reacts with 3 a and 3 b under opening of the eight- membered ring and formation of phosphonium salts. The structure of 3 b is discussed in detail. 8b crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna 21 with a = 12.60(0), b = 13.27(1), c = 12.62(4) Å.
Arsenhaltige Heterocyclen
(1978)
In the reaction of N,N'-bis-trimethylsilyl-dimethylurea with As[N(CH3)2]3 a four membered ring O = C(NCH3)2AsN(CH3)2 1 could be isolated. 1 was not obtained by cleavage of the Si-N-bonds with the corresponding chloride. In contrast CH3N[CONCH3Si(CH3)3]2 reacts with AsCb to yield the six-membered ring CH3N(CON-CH3)2ASCl 2. The four-membered ring which contains an arsenic-halogen bond seems to be unstable. In the adamantane-type compound, AS4(NCH3)6, one methylamine could be eliminated by CF3SO3H to give AS4(NCH3)5(OSO2CF3)2 3. 1H, 19F NMR as well as mass spectroscopy have been used in the characterization of the products obtained.
The title compound N,N-bis(trimethylstannyl)trifluoromethanesulfonamide (1) reacts with S2Cl2, SOCl2 and SO2Cl2 in a molar ratio 2:1 to yield the compounds S2Cl2 a twelve-membered ring 6. These are the largest neutral sulfur-nitrogen rings of coordination number two at the sulfur atoms known to date. 3 reacts with SOCI2 under migration of a methyl group from the tin to a sulfur atom to yield CF3SO2(R3Sn)NS(CH3)NSO2CF3 (7). 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-1,3-bis(trifluormethylsulfonyl)cyclodisilazan and 7 are formed by the reaction of 3 with R2SiCl2- The analogous four-membered germanium compound 8 is obtained from 1 and R2GeCl2. While the pyrolysis of 1 yields only the six-membered cyclotristannazan 9, the six-membered germanium analog is only formed in minor amounts. By treating 9 with R3SiCl the ring is decomposed to give 10. A six-membered ring is formed from the reaction of 1 with ClR2SiOSiR2Cl 11. The structure of 6 is discussed in detail. 6 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 24.408(5), b = 7.377(2), c = 16.715(3) Å, β = 117.16(3)° and Z = 4. It has a chair conformation which is different from the isoelectronic S12-structure.
The reactions of N,N′ -bis(pentafluorophenyl)sulfurdiimide with [(CH3)3Sn]2NCH3, [(CH3)3Sn]3N and [(CH3)3Sn]2NC6F5 yiels the 1:1 adducts 1-3. 1H and 19 F NMR investigations show, that fluorine atoms in the ortho position of the phenyl ring coordinate to the tin atom. This causes an increase of electron density at tin. A similar interpretation is given for the adduct 4 of N,N′-bis(p-chlorophenylsulfonyl)sulfurdiimide and [(CH3)3Sn]2NCH3, where an oxygen atom of the sulfonyl group is bonded to tin.
Über Reaktionen von 3-trifluormethylphenylsubstituierten silicium-und zinnorganischen Verbindungen
(1978)
Several routes were investigated for the preparation of 3-CF3C6H4N[Si(CH3)3]2 2 and 3-CF3C6H4N[Sn(CH3)3]2 3. The latter compound reacts with 3-CF3C6H4NCO to yield [3-CF3C6H4(CH3)3SnN]2CO 4. A substituted urea 5 is also formed from [(CH3)3Si]2NCH3 and 3-CF3C6H4NCO. 5 is used for the preparation of cyclic compounds, with S2Cl2 the ten-membered ring (3-CF3C6H4NCONCH3S2)2 6 is formed. 5 and HN(SO2Cl)2 yield the six-membered ring 3-CF3C6H4NCONCH3(SO2)2NH 7. SeOCl2 and 5 react under formation of a spiro compound (S-CF3C6H4NCONCH3)2Se 8. The compounds were characterized on the basis of mass and 19F NMR spectra.
As[N(CH3)2]3 reacts with the following isocyanates: FSO2NCO, n-C4F9SO2NCO, SO2(NCO)2 and (CH3)3SiNCO. The products which result from reaction of FSO2NCO and n-C4F9SO2NCO are the acyclic tri- and bisubstituted arsines [xxx]
In contrast, SO2(NCO)2 and (CH3)3SiNCO form eight- and four-membered ring compounds, where the skeleton consists of the atoms As2S2N4 (3) and As2N2 (4). The new compounds were characterized by NMR and mass spectra.
Über das Verhalten von silicium- und zinnorganischen Verbindungen bei der Synthese von Heterocyclen
(1977)
The isocyanates of silicon (CH3)2Si(NCO)2 and Si(NCO)4 react with CH3N[Sn(CH3)3]2 and N[Sn(CH3)3]3 to yield the cyclic derivatives 2a-2b as well as the spiro compound 3. The structures of the compounds are discussed on the basis of 1H NMR and IR data. Mass spectra are not conclusive for assigning a certain structure. SO2(NCO)2 and (CH3)3Si-S-Si(CH3)3 form a cyclic compound 4 which contains two sulfur atoms of coordination number two and four. The results of the mass spectra can be interpreted by assuming that a rearrangement occurred. 4 hydrolyses under formation of 5.
The kinetically stable triazatriphosphorinyl and tetraazatetra-phosphorocinyl azides 3 and 4 are prepared from the corresponding chlorides 1, 2 with sodium azide. 3 and 4 react with phosphanes to yield the λ5 -diphosphazenes 5a-d. By the reaction of 1 or 2 with KCN the nitriles 6 and 7 are formed. -The new compounds are characterized on the basis of IR and mass spectra.
N-Sulfonylsulfimide
(1978)
(CF3SO2NSO2)2 (1), a compound with a four-membered ring, was prepared from CF3SO2NSO and SO3. 1 as well as (FSO2NSO2)2 form 1:1 adducts with S4N4 , pyridine and pyridine carbonitrile-4 (2a-2f). By comparison with FSO2NCOS4N4 it was shown that a dipolar type of addition had occured. In contrast the reaction of 1 and (FSO2NSO2)2 with aromatic nitriles yields 1:2 cycloaddition products (3a-3g) which were characterized on the basis of mass spectra. The six-membered rings of 4a-4b which contain carbon, nitrogen and sulfur atoms were obtained from the reaction of isocyanates with (FSO2NSO2)2 or (CF3SO2NSO2)2. 4-BrC6H4NCO and SO3 react in a similar way to yield 5. The starting materials are extremely sensitive to moisture while most of the adducts can be handled in open air without decomposition.
Novel radical anions of trimethylstannyl substituted naphthalenes and their ESR spectra are reported. Both 119 Sn and 117 Sn coupling can be assigned unequivocally. The perturbation of π systems by R3X substituents of group IV b elements X = C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb is discussed with respect to photoelectron ionization potentials, charge transfer excitations, half-wave reduction potentials and ESR spin distribution.
The diphenyls MPh2 (M = Be, Mg, Zn, Cd, Hg) have been reacted with pyrazine (Pz) in tetrahydrofuran. Only the magnesium derivative undergoes electron transfer to yield the 1:1 radical complex [Pz(MgPh)]·. However, in the presence of sodium or potassium persistent 1:2 complexes [Pz(MPh)2]+. are formed with M = Be, Mg, Zn. Use of the higher homologues CdPh2 and HgPh2 leads to reduction to the metals. The 1:2 complexes have been characterized by ESR spectroscopy; metal coupling constants of 9Be, 25Mg and 67Zn could be determined in natural isotopic abundance.
The alkyls MR3 (M = B, AI, Ga, In) react with pyrazine (Pz) and sodium in THF to yield persistent radical complexes Pz(MR2)2 · +MR4- (1). Use of TIR3 leads to rapid deposition of thallium metal. The formation of these ionic complexes 1 is the result of MR3 dissociation into +MR2 and -MR4 ions. All radicals have been identified and characterized by ESR; the data reveal the influence of back bonding in the boron derivative.
The compounds ;p-Me2P(X)-C6H4-P(X)Me2, X = O, S, Se, NPh undergo one-electron reduction at a mercury cathode or on reaction with solvated electrons in a K/18-crown-6/THF mixture. The radical anions formed are persistent and have been characterized by ESR. They may be described as complexes of the spin-bearing moiety p-Me2P-C6H4-PMe2 · with the coordinated groups X.
Hintergrund und Ziel der Arbeit: In Deutschland vollzieht sich ein stetiger demografischer Wandel, welcher zu einer zunehmenden Alterung der Gesellschaft führt. Ziel der Arbeit war die Analyse der natürlichen Todesfälle mit einem Sterbealter ≥ 65 Jahre, da die gesundheitliche Vulnerabilität dieser Altersgruppe an Bedeutung gewinnt.
Material und Methoden: Retrospektiv wurden die Obduktionsgutachten aller natürlichen Todesfälle der ≥ 65-Jährigen im Institut der Rechtsmedizin des Universitätsklinikums der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main in einem Zeitvergleich (Zeitraum I: 2000–2002; Zeitraum II: 2013–2015) ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse: In den Zeiträumen I und II wurden insgesamt 1206 Obduktionen in dieser Altersgruppe ermittelt. Davon wiesen 404 (33,5 %) eine nichtnatürliche Todesart auf, in 39 Fällen (3,2 %) lag eine Kombination aus natürlichem und nichtnatürlichem Tod vor, und in 94 Fällen (7,8 %) war die Todesart unklar. Die Mehrheit (n = 669; 55,5 %) verstarb an einer natürlichen Todesart. Die größte Gruppe davon (n = 350; 52,3 %) betraf kardiale Todesursachen, gefolgt von 132 (19,7 %) respiratorischen und 47 (7,0 %) abdominellen Todesursachen. Zudem lagen 37 (5,5 %) maligne Neoplasien, 37 (5,5 %) sonstige natürliche Todesursachen, 33 (4,9 %) Rupturen großer Gefäße und 33 (4,9 %) zerebrale Todesursachen vor. Im Vergleich der Zeiträume I und II fiel eine signifikante Abnahme der kardialen Todesursachen auf. Es kam insbesondere zu einer signifikanten Abnahme der hochgradigen bis verschließenden Koronarsklerosen. Zwischen beiden Geschlechtern zeigten sich signifikante Unterschiede. So wiesen Männer signifikant mehr Bypässe, Stents und Herznarben auf und erlitten ca. 10 Jahre vor den Frauen einen Myokardinfarkt.
Diskussion/Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse decken sich größtenteils mit der Literatur. Die Abnahme kardialer Todesursachen könnte auf eine zunehmend bessere medizinische Versorgung und eine signifikant zunehmende Implantationsrate von Stents zurückzuführen sein. Die Rolle der forensischen Gerontologie wird –gerade in Pandemiezeiten– zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen.
Die Synthese des Coenzymmodells Flavin-benzimidazol-dinucleotid * gelang durch Kondensation von Benzimidazolribotid-imidazolid 1 oder Benzimidazolribotid-guanidiniumamidat 2 mit Flavinmononucleotid. Das Coenzymmodell war enzymatisch nicht aktiv und bildete keinen Enzym-Coenzym-Komplex. Im Absorptionsspektrum konnte eine Extinktionszunahme nach der Spaltung der Pyrophosphatbrücke nur im Bereich von 260 mμ beobachtet werden. Das Molekül liegt daher vermutlich in einer gefalteten Form vor. Ein Komplex zwischen Flavin- und Benzimidazolteil konnte nicht nachgewiesen werden. Eine Fluoreszenzunterdrückung, die im FAD durch die Komplexbildung zwischen Flavin- und Adeninteil bedingt wird, wurde im FBD-Coenzymmodell nicht beobachtet.
Methylthio-β.ᴅ-galaktosid wird in E. coli K 12, sowie in den Mutanten ML 3 und ML 308 in vivo zu einem geringen Teil in einen Phosphorsäureester, wahrscheinlich das 6-Phosphat (TMG-P) umgewandelt. TMG-P wird von E. coli K 12 aufgenommen, wirkt jedoch nicht als Induktor des Lactose-Operons. Zellfreie Extrakte aus E. coli K 12 geben die gleiche Reaktion, wobei die in vitro-Reaktion durch anorganisches Phosphat und Phosphoenolpyruvat stimuliert wird.
The syntheses of the dibenzoquinolizinium-salts 3, 13, 16, 20 and 25 which are of spectroscopic interest are described. Their electronic excitation spectra will be published later by Perkampus and coworkers in this journal.
Nicotinamid-3-desazapurindinucleotid * wurde aus den Teilstücken Nicotinamidmononucleotid und 3-Desazapurinribosid-5'-phosphat durch Kondensation mit Dicyclohexylcarbodiimid in wäßrigem Pyridin hergestellt1. Das Coenzymmodell war im enzymatischen Test mit verschiedenen Dehydrogenasen ebenso wirksam wie Nicotinamid-adenin-dinucleotid. Für die Funktion der Wasserstoffübertragung scheint der Stickstoff N 1 im Purinring von Bedeutung zu sein. Auffällig ist, daß die pK-Werte nichtfunktioneller Mononucleotidteile bei Coenzymmodellen, die Nicotinamid-adenin-dinucleotid im enzymatischen Test ersetzen können, über dem Wert 4 liegen. Das optische Verhalten des Coenzymmodells Nicotinamid-3-desazapurin-dinucleotid ähnelt dagegen nichtpurinhaltigen Coenzymmodellen, die sich bisher alle durch eine geringere Coenzymwirksamkeit auszeichneten. Eine schwächere intramolekulare Wechselwirkung zwischen den Heterocyclen zeichnete sich durch die Verschiebung des Dihydronicotinamid-Absorptionsmaximums in dem kurzwelligen Teil des Spektrums aus. Aus den geringeren intramolekularen Wechselwirkungen lassen sich jedoch keine Rückschlüsse auf die enzymatische Wirksamkeit ziehen. Alle nichtpurinhaltigen hydrierten Coenzymmodelle zeigen keine Änderung der Fluoreszenz nach Enzymzugabe.
Darstellung und Eigenschaften des Coenzymanalogen Nicotinamid-4-methyl-5-acetyl-imidazol-dinucleotid
(1970)
Kondensation des Quecksilbersalzes von 4-Methyl-5-acetyl-imidazol ** mit 1-Chlor-2.3.5-O-tribenzoyl-ribofuranose liefert das geschützte Ribosid 3. Zur Strukturaufklärung der Verbindung wurde 4-Methyl-5-acetyl-1-(β-D-0-2′.3′.5′-triacetyl-ribofuranosyl)-imidazol mit Methyljodid in das 3.4-Dimethyl-5-acetyl-1-(β-D-O-2′.3′.5′-triacetyl-ribofuranosyl)-imidazoliumjodid überführt und der Zuckerrest hydrolytisch gespalten. Das entstandene Imidazol-Derivat ist identisch mit 1.5-Dimethyl-4-acetyl-imidazol. 4-Methyl-5-acetyl-1- (β-D-ribofuranosyl) -imidazol wurde mit Aceton in das Isopropyliden-Derivat 4 überführt. Die Phosphorylierung zum Nucleosid-5′-phosphat (5) führten wir mit β-Cyanäthyl-phosphat durch. Durch Kondensation mit Nicotinamid-mononucleotid erhielten wir das Coenzymanaloge Nicotinamid-4-methyl-5-acetyl-imidazol-dinucleotid (6). Die Verbindung liegt im oxydierten Zustand in gefaltener Form vor. Das Fluoreszenz-Anregungsspektrum der Dihydroverbindung zeigt keine Energieübertragung vom nichtfunktionellen 4-Methyl-5-acetyl-imidazol-Teil auf den Dihydronicotinamid-Ring. Das Coenzymanaloge weist eine größere Michaelis- Konstante im Test mit Lactat-Dehydrogenase aus Schweineherz *** auf als das natürliche Nicotinamid-adenindinucleotid ***. Die maximale Umsatzzahl ist trotz der schwächeren Bindung vergrößert. Das unterschiedliche Verhalten des Coenzymanalogen 6 gegenüber NAD läßt, neben der π-Bindung des nichtfunktionellen Teils, eine polare Gruppe im aktiven Zentrum des Enzyms vermuten, die die Ausrichtung des Coenzyms im Coenzym-Enzym-Komplex bewirkt.
Dihydronicotinamid-4-methyl-5-acetyl-imidazol-dinucleotid bildet einen fluoreszierenden Komplex mit der Lactat-Dehydrogenase, der dem des NADH-LDH-Komplexes sehr ähnlich ist.
Differential derepression of the genome of potato tuber cells causes the onset of a vigorous metabolic activity, which is initiated by rapid synthesis of different RNA species, various proteins and phospholipids. Consequently enhanced respiration and the build up of cell compartments such as ribosomes and mitochondria as well as the performance of cell divisions and suberization of new-formed cell walls occur. Although there is an activation of metabolism in general with a concomitant rise in concentration of most glycolytic metabolites — as was proved for fructose-1.6-diphosphate, dihydroxyacetone, glyceraldehade-3-phosphate, phosphoenolepyruvate and pyruvate — the activities of the corresponding enzymes do not reflect these uniform metabolic changes. Aldolase and in a pronounced manner enolase and glutamate — pyruvate — transaminase lower their activities suddenly after derepression. The activity of triosephosphateisomerase remains constant. In contrast phosphoglyceromutase, pyruvate kinase and to a lower extent malic enzyme enhance their action during the same time.
Without doubt, differential lowering and enhancing the activity of glycolytic chain constituents at the same time is an important regulatory mechanism of the cell. The activation represents de novo synthesis of the protein concerned whereas the inactivation depends largely on protein synthesis. This is clearly shown by experiments with inhibitors of protein synthesis.
It is proposed that this differential synthesis and degradation represent a “long-time-regulation” of enzymatic activity of the cell in contrast to the known “short-time-regulation” by feedback or competition.
The coenzyme analogue nicotinamide 5-iodouracil-dinucleotide was synthesized by condensation of the two mononucleotides with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in aqueous pyridine. The enzymatic properties of this compound were compared with those of the nicotinamide-uracil-dinucleotide. Both coenzyme analogues reacted slowly when functioning as a hydrogen carrier in enzymatic tests. The properties were similar to those of nicotinamide-benzimidazole-dinucleotide. The difference spectrum between the intact coenzyme analogue and its mononucleotides showed that the intramolecular interaction between the functional and non-functional moiety was smaller than that in NAD. The interaction corresponded to that of nicotinamide-benzimidazole-dinucleotide. The fluorescence excitation spectrum did not show any energy transfer from the non-functional iodouracil to the dihydronicotinamide part of the analogue. Difference spectra between the coenzyme - enzymecomplex and the two isolated components indicated that the unfolded dihydrocoenzyme was bound to the active site of lactate- and alcohol-dehydrogenase, respectively. Furthermore, they showed aromatic interaction of the non-functional part with parts of the protein. Introduction of iodine into the nicotinamide-uracil-dinucleotide did not remarkably alter the behavior of the analogues. As the iodine is bound very strongly to the coenzyme analogue, it may be useful for X-Ray-investigations of the dehydrogenases.
Biacetylbis(methylimine) (1) is obtained by formic acid catalyzed condensation of biacetyl and methylamine. Photoelectron- and UV spectra, H NMR and 13C NMR data are compared with those of the new compound biacetylbis(isopropylimine) (2) and glyoxalbis(isopropylimine) (3).
The two-nucleon potential is assumed to be a quadratic function of momentum: ν = ν1 (r) + pν2(r)p. The BETHE-GOLDSTONE equation (l = 0) has been solved for two different choices of ν. An analytical, approximate solution is obtained.
Auf Basis ethnographischer Feldforschung untersucht der Beitrag den Zusammenhang zwischen prekären Wohnverhältnissen und der Entstehung politischer Kollektivität unter Mieter*innen. Theoretisch-konzeptionell knüpft er dabei an Debatten der kritischen Stadtforschung zu Verdrängungsprozessen, Forschungsarbeiten zu Prekarisierung sowie poststrukturalistisch inspirierte Perspektiven der sozialen Bewegungsforschung an. Empirisch ist der Blick gerichtet auf die Lebensrealitäten von Bewohner*innen einer Frankfurter Vonovia-Wohnsiedlung. Gefragt wird danach, wie Mieter*innen ihre Wohnsituation in Anbetracht drohender Mieterhöhungen infolge von Modernisierungsarbeiten wahrnehmen, welche Bedeutung sie der Wohnungsfrage zuschreiben und welche sozialräumlichen Bedingungen, Handlungspraktiken und diskursiven Deutungsmuster die Entwicklung einer kollektiven politischen Handlungsfähigkeit erschweren.
Hintergrund: Die staatlichen Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Coronavirus SARS-CoV‑2 im Jahr 2020 brachten den Trainings- und Wettkampfbetrieb im professionellen Fußball in vielen Ländern zum zeitweiligen Erliegen. In Folge des Lockdowns waren die Trainingsmöglichkeiten zumeist auf unspezifische heimbasierte Trainingsmethoden begrenzt. Es ist unklar, ob sich die fehlenden sportspezifischen Belastungsreize negativ auf die physische Leistungsfähigkeit der Fußballspielenden auswirkten.
Methodik: Im Rahmen eines narrativen Reviews wurde mittels einer selektiven Literaturrecherche in den Datenbanken PubMed, Google Scholar und BISp-Surf nach Studien gesucht, welche die Auswirkungen des Lockdowns auf physische Leistungsparameter bei erwachsenen professionellen Fußballspielenden untersuchten.
Ergebnisse: In die Übersichtsarbeit wurden sechs prospektive Längsschnittstudien eingeschlossen. In allen Studien kam während der Quarantäne ein heimbasiertes Ersatztraining zum Einsatz. Vier Studien verglichen die Leistungsfähigkeit der Fußballer/-innen mit Leistungsdaten aus vorherigen Spielzeiten. Zwei Studien ermittelten die Leistungsfähigkeit der Sportler/-innen unmittelbar vor und nach der Lockdownperiode.
Diskussion: Während die allgemeine Kraft- und Ausdauerleistung durch heimbasierte Ersatztrainingsprogramme erhalten werden kann, weisen die Studien darauf hin, dass sich die fehlenden spezifischen Belastungsreize vor allem negativ auf die Schnelligkeits- und Schnellkraftleistung der Fußballspielenden auswirken könnten. Bei Rückkehr in den regulären Trainingsbetrieb sollte daher auf eine progressive Belastungssteuerung insbesondere im Schnelligkeitstraining geachtet werden, um das Risiko für Verletzungen zu senken.
The tremendous body of knowledge about genetics, cell biology, and metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as well as its long history and robustness in industrial fermentations, have made this yeast one of the most popular microbial cell factories. Novel genetic tools have enabled the rapid construction of strains producing various platform chemicals, fuels, or pharmaceuticals. The relevance of synthetic biology approaches, such as the construction of fully synthetic genomes and artificial cellular compartments are not only relevant for biotechnological applications but can also lead to new insight into basic principles of life.
