A calorimetric investigation of the low-temperature phase transition in sodium hydroxide-d.
The heat capacity of NaOD from 20 to 350 K is reported. An anomaly centered at 153.2 ± 0.1 K (?H = 131.1 ± 0.7 J/mol, ?S = 0.864 ± 0.005 J/K.mol) corresponds to the onset of a low-temp. antiferroelec. phase. This ... -

Chemical Constituents from Stem Bark and Roots of Clausena anisata
Phytochemical investigations on the stem bark and roots of the tropical shrub Clausena anisata led to the isolation and characterization three carbazole alkaloids: girinimbine, murrayamine-A and ekeberginine; two peptide ... -
Chiral molecules containing the pyrrole framework
This review summarizes strategies by which chiral pyrroles, both simple and complex, have been prepared: strategies include formation of the pyrrolic ring using starting materials appended with chirality, as well as the ... -
Chloride anion transport and copper-mediated DNA cleavage by C-ring functionalized prodigiosenes
A new class of prodigiosenes with stability-enhancing functionalities appended to the C-ring were found to transport chloride anions through liposomal membranes, as well as to induce copper-mediated DNA cleavage. -
cis-3,5-Cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol derivatives: facial selectivity in their Diels-Alder reactions with ethylenic, acetylenic and azo dienophiles
The Diels - Alder reactions of maleimide with the acetonide derivative (6a) of cis-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol (1a) in various solvents showed facial selectivities ranging from 1 : 1 to 1 : 9. The same derivative 6a reacted ... -
Cl-BODIPYs: a BODIPY class enabling facile beta-substitution
Cl-BODIPYs, synthesized in high yields from dipyrrins under air- and moisture-free conditions, are extremely facile to substitution at boron compared to their corresponding F-BODIPYs, opening up a new route to BODIPYs ... -
Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands
A parameter is reported by which to use 13C NMR chemical shifts to measure and predict the donor capabilities of N^N dipyrrinato and aza-dipyrrinato ligands chelating in L^X fashion. The results enable the rationalisation ... -
Conversion of F-BODIPYs to Cl-BODIPYs: Enhancing the Reactivity of F-BODIPYs
A new method for the synthesis of Cl-BODIPYs from F-BODIPYs is reported, merely requiring treatment of the F-BODIPY with boron trichloride. Cl-BODIPYs are exploited as synthetic intermediates generated in situ for the ... -
Decarboxylative Arylation of Substituted Pyrroles N-protected with 2-(Trimethylsilyl) ethoxymethyl (SEM)
Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative arylation is reported using pyrroles N-protected with the 2-(trimethylsilyl) ethoxymethyl (SEM) group and featuring 2-, 3- and 4-substituents about the pyrrolic framework. In contrast ... -
Density-operator theory of orbital magnetic susceptibility in periodic insulators
The theoretical treatment of homogeneous static magnetic fields in periodic systems is challenging, as the corresponding vector potential breaks the translational invariance of the Hamiltonian. Based on density operators ... -
Designing glass with non-dispersive stress-optic response
The dispersion of the stress-optic response of a series of barium and lead phosphate glasses is measured using an ellipsometric method. It is found that the barium glasses display consistently positive dispersion with ... -
Deuteration and Tautomeric Reactivity of the 1-Methyl Functionality of Free-base Dipyrrins
Regioselective reactivity of the 1-methyl group of free-base dipyrrins is explored, including discussion of tautomerism to provide exocyclic alkenyl reactivity. Deuterium is installed such as to generate dipyrrins substituted ...
