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 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).

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.
