Structural principles and amorphouslike thermal conductivity of Na-doped Si clathrates
The postulated low thermal conductivity and the possibility of altering the electronic conductivity of metal-doped clathrates with semiconducting host elements have stimulated great interest in exploring these compounds ... -
Structure and Disorder of Phosphates in Ag2o-Agi-P2o5 Glasses
We directly probe the microstructure of the different phosphates in several glasses in the Ag2O-AgI-P2O5 system, by means of variable angle correlation NMR spectroscopy. This two-dimensional experiment separates the ... -
Structure, thermal, and transport properties of the clathrates Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30
The structural parameters, thermal properties, and transport properties of three type I clathrates, namely Sr8Zn8Ge38, Sr8Ga16Ge30, and Ba8Ga16Si30, have been determined at or below room temperature. The structural ... -
A study of phase transitions in cadmium perchlorate hexahydrate (Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O) by adiabatic calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy.
A calorimetric study of Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O from 20 to 345 K shows 3 phase transformations, at 124.8, 238.45, and 271.62 K. IR spectra indicate that the low-temp. structure (below 124.8 K) contains 1 type of [Cd(OH2)6]2+, of ... -
Synthesis and Antimalarial Activity of Prodigiosenes
Several analogues of the natural compound prodigiosin with modified A- and C-rings were synthesised as were some of their tin, cobalt, boron and zinc complexes. The antimalarial activity of these prodigiosenes was evaluated ... -
Synthesis and biological evaluation of prodigiosene conjugates of porphyrin, estrone and 4-hydroxytamoxifen
To generate the first series of prodigiosene conjugates, the tripyrrolic skeleton was appended to estrone, tamoxifen and porphyrin frameworks by way of ester linkers and various hydrocarbon chain lengths. The ability of ... -
Synthesis and characterisation of the unsubstituted dipyrrin and 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene: improved synthesis and functionalisation of the simplest BODIPY framework
An improved and scalable synthesis of the unsubstituted 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene framework facilitates access to the previously unreported parent dipyrrin HCl salt, as well as 4,4-dichloro-4-bora-3a,4a- ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrrolyldipyrrin F-BODIPYs
A series of synthetic analogs of the tripyrrolic natural product prodigiosin were complexed with boron trifluoride to generate the corresponding F-BODIPYs. The maximum wavelengths of absorption and emission of the ... -
Synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester pyrroles: a route to 2-formyl pyrroles
2-Functionalised pyrroles exhibit considerable synthetic utility. Herein, the synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester (-C(S)OR) pyrroles is reported. 2-Thionoester pyrroles were synthesized using a Knorr-type approach ... -
Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts
We report the lithium, sodium and potassium salts of aza-dipyrrins and detail their use as anionic aza-dipyrrinato ligand sources in complexation. Of the three types of alkali salts studied, those of lithium are found to ... -
Synthesis of dipyrrins bearing chirality adjacent to the conjugated skeleton - Electron-poor pyrroles exhibit dramatically reduced nucleophilicity
With the aim of furthering our investigations into the asymmetric complexation of dipyrrinato ligands, a dipyrrin bearing a stereogenic centre directly adjacent to the conjugated skeleton was synthesized. The electron- ... -
Synthesis of heteroleptic pyrrolide/bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II)
The synthesis and characterization of the first heteroleptic pyrrolide/2,2'-bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported. Pyrroles substituted at the 2-position with X = O functionality react with Ru(bipy)(2)Cl-2.2H(2)O ...
