Sie ist zugleich aber auch besonderes Symbol für Deutschland, für Vereinigung von Ost und West und für internationale Sichtbarkeit. Das sind wichtige Charakteristika, wenn Sie miteinander reden wollen über unsere Wissenschaft, die Chemie - ihre Inhalte, ihre Bedeutung und ihre Relevanz für die Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft! Bereits im letzten Jahr schrieb ich Ihnen, wie wichtig und gut ich es finde, dass Sie mit der aufwändigen Organisation und Durchführung der jährlich stattfindenden Konferenz des Jungchemikerforums das persönliche Treffen und das Gespräch über elektronische Kommunikationswege setzen. Täglich erlebe ich in meinem Beruf als Professorin an einer Universität, dass Ideen und Einsichten, gedankliche Fortschritte und neue wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse durch persönliche, barrierelose Gespräche und Diskussionen geboren werden oder zur Reife gelangen. Nur so ersetzen wir in meiner Überzeugung Routine und Mittelmass durch Inspiration und Exzellenz. Sie wissen es alle: Eine Gruppe von Menschen ist mehr als die Summe einzelner Personen. In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Ihnen auch für 2013, dass sie in Berlin die Faszination von Wissenschaft und menschlicher Begegnung spüren, in überdurchschnittlichen, anspruchsvollen und kurzweiligen Vorträgen, an Postern, in Diskussionsrunden und bei geselligen Treffen. Prof. Dr. Barbara Albert (Präsidentin der Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker e.V.) 2 Dear “Jungchemiker“, it provides me with great pleasure to welcome all of you to the 15th JCF Spring Symposium here at Berlin’s Humboldt-Universität. Based on the great tradition of this unique event, I am absolutely convinced that you will enjoy the next few days with lots of exciting new chemistry, inspiring discussions, and joyful moments. Right from the beginning, I wish to thank all of the people, who were involved in the excellent organization. After all it is an event for young chemists by young chemists and you did a marvelous job. I am particularly grateful that this event has developed in such a success story as it brings together the people, who actually DO the science. While academic supervisors are concerned with arguably too much management, administration, and politics, it is mostly doctoral students such as YOU, who are carrying out experiments on a daily basis thereby paving the way to new scientific discoveries. The JCF Spring Symposia are a great platform to meet and get to know the person behind a specific type of research. After all, science is being carried out by individuals and it’s communication among them that makes science a unique social endeavor as well. In this spirit, I wish you a great and successful symposium – enjoy the chemistry in all dimensions! Prof. Stefan Hecht, Ph.D. (Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences I of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) 3 Dear Participants, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to this conference on behalf of the whole organizing team! We are the Berlin division of the Young Chemists Forum. Our members are either studying chemistry or doing their PhD work here in the capital of Germany. Berlin has got three universities with chemistry studying courses as well as a few other colleges that pursue related topics. The local Young Chemists Forum meets once a month to exchange experiences, share ideas and also organize events. In the past two years, we have respectively hosted a one-day scientific symposium on the natural science campus of the Humboldt-Universität. This year, we have worked hard in order to incorporate our experiences into this year’s Frühjahrssymposium to make it truly enjoyable for all of you. But a symposium like this would not be feasible without a long list of supporters. We are extremely grateful for the big number of institutes, companies and organizations that helped us in various ways to make this conference happen. We are also very thankful for all the helpers that lend us a hand and serve your coffee. Once again, welcome to Berlin and enjoy the conference! Christin Büchner (Chair of the Young Chemists Forum Berlin) 4 Dear participants of the 15th Frühjahrssymposium, I am very pleased to welcome you on behalf of the JungChemikerForum to the Frühjahrssymposium at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin this year. The continuous rising number of participants shows the obvious success of the Frühjahrssymposium and the increasing need for communication between young scientists. But especially the great number of the international students allows an interesting and wide-ranging exchange of knowledge. In consideration of present scientific challenges, like increasing lack of raw materials, growing and ageing world population and related food supply and medical care, the motivated young scientists all over the world can contribute to solutions of problems of our everyday life by meeting and exchanging at a conference like the Frühjahrssymposium. The planning and carrying out of such a big event would not be possible without a great team. For that reason I want to thank on behalf of all participants of the Frühjahrssymposium the organization team and the assistants for the great job. Furthermore I want to express my gratitude to all the companies for the financial support. I wish all participants a pleasant time in Berlin, fruitful discussions, creative ideas and many new friends.

In the yard of the main building, the student canteen of the HumboldtUniversität is located in the large white tent. If you want to have your lunch there, please come to the conference desk and buy a meal voucher worth 9 e (per day), as the canteen discourages payment with cash. Around the university, you can find various restaurants. The closer you get to either S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße or S-Bahnhof Alexanderplatz, the larger will be the selection of inexpensive food alternatives. Public Transport During the conference (Wednesday to Saturday) every participant may use the public transport in the zones A, B, C (Berlin, Potsdam and surroundings) for free. You need your conference nametag and an ID card or passport. All information (routes, timetables etc.) on public transport may be found here: www.bvg.de WLAN Access If your home institute takes part in the eduroam project, you may use the WLAN infrastructure of the Humboldt-Universität by just logging in with your account from your home university. If you are not sure what eduroam is, please visit www.eduroam.org and ask your local IT administrator for it. In case you can not use eduroam you may ask for a guest account at the registration desk. Unfortunatly this has several disadvantages: The connection is much slower and less stable and you have to accept the IT regulations of the Humboldt-Universität. Thus, please consider to use eduroam! Science Location Berlin With its large number of scientific institutions, Berlin provides excellent opportunities for researchers from all over the world. Berlin is home to four universities (Freie Universität, Humboldt-Universität, Technische Unversität and Universität der Künste), several universities of the applied sciences and 70 non-university research institutions. The Charité hospital is the largest medicine faculty in Europe. It is a perfect example of how basic and applied research are in symbiosis here in Berlin. You find unique research facilities like the synchrotron radiation source BESSY, the research reactor BER-II (both parts of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy) and the free electron laser in the Fritz-Haber-Institute of the Max-Planck-Society. As an example for other research institutions the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, three additional Max-Planck-Institutes or the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing should be mentioned. In so-called clusters of excellence, funded by the German government, different institutes collaborate on larger topics that are relevant from a social and economic 17 standpoint. UniCat is one of these clusters in Berlin. It deals with unifying different concepts in heterogeneous, homogeneous and biological catalysis. Berlin was one of the first cities to host a "long night of the sciences". In this annual event, research institutes open their doors to the public to give people insights into the projects they research and the methods they use. Last year over 34,000 people came to the 73 participating academic institutions. Berlin at a Glance If you have a bit more time in Berlin, there is a large number of different places to go and things to see. A few of our recommendations: Museumsinsel It is the name for the northern part of an island in the center of Berlin, with five internationally significant museums. Last year this museum complex was visted by 2,75 million people. It consists of the Altes Museum (antique collection), the Neues Museum (Prehistorical, Egyptian and Early History collections), the Alte Nationalgallerie (collection of Neoclassical, Romantic, Biedermeier, Impressionist and early Modernist artwork), the Bode-Museum (collection of sculptures, Byzantine art, and coins and medals) and the Pergamonmuseum (antiquity collection, the Middle East Museum, and the Museum of Islamic art). Naturkundemuseum It is the largest museum of natural history in Germany with 30 million zoological, paleontological, mineralogical, and geological objects. The mineral collection includes 75 % of all minerals in the world. Two spectacular exhibits are the largest mounted dinosaur in the world which is 23 m long and 12 m high and an exemplar of the earliest known bird, Archaeopteryx. Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin This museum exhibits a large collection of historical technical exhibition pieces, it is focused on the waterways and rail transport in / to Berlin and in Germany, the beer, jewelry production and energy. Also a reproduction of the Z1, the first freely programmable computer in the world, is shown. Old Airport Tempelhof Built in the 1920ies, this was the first airport in Berlin. The Nazis added a monumental airport building, the US Army used it as their air base after WWII. During the Berlin blockade in 1948/49, the airport was a major hub for the historic airlift that provided supplies for two million citizens. The airport was closed in 2008 and the area converted into a recreational territory. A huge plane stretches in the middle of the city, allowing running, skating, biking, kiting, areas for barbecues, lacrosse, baseball, urban gardening and many more activities. You can visit for free daily from 6 AM to 7 PM. Just get off the S-Bahn at station Tempelhof and walk for 5 minutes. Views Above the City On Alexanderplatz, you find one of Berlins landmarks: the 356 metres high TV tower. The visitors platform provides spectacular views in all directions. Just opposite to the TV Tower, also on Alexanderplatz, you can visit the 37th floor of the Park Inn Hotel and view the city centre. On Potsdamer Platz, you can use the fastest elevator in Europe to get to a platform with a view over all the important landmarks of Berlin. TV tower: 12 e pp http://www.tv-turm.de Park Inn: 3 e pp Just walk in and take 18 the elevator to the top (only open in good weather) Panorama (Potsdamer Platz): 5.50 e p.P. http://www.panoramapunkt.de Not a lot of time? Hop on public bus line 100! Operating from S Alexanderplatz to S Zoologischer Garten, this bus line takes you past a big number of the important sites in Berlin. There is Alexanderplatz, home to the Rotes Rathaus, the town hall of Berlin and the most famous landmark of Berlin, the TV tower which is the tallest structure in Germany. St. Marys Church is one of the oldest churches in Berlin, the exact age is unknown. The Nikolaiviertel is the reconstructed historical heart of the city with the oldest church in Berlin Nikolaikirche, build between 1220 and 1230. The Staatsoper Berlin unfortunately is under reconstruction at the moment, but you can try to get a glance across Bebelplatz at the very beautiful Alte Bibliothek. On the other site of the street you can find the main building of Humboldt-Universität. The Brandenburger Tor is a building that is attached to a lot of German history. When the copper statue of the victory goddess was first put on top, the citizens complained that the lady was wearing too revealing clothes, so the copper robe was added. Marking the border between Warsaw Pact and NATO, it was a symbol of the cold war. From 1990, it became a symbol for the reunification of Germany. The Reichstag building accommodates the German Parliament, called the Bundestag. After the abdication of the Kaiser in 1918, the first German republic was proclaimed to the public from one of the Reichstags balconies. The Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berliners call it the pregnant oyster because of its shape) was a gift from the United States of America and is the national centre for contemporary non-European art. Schloss Bellevue is the official residence of the German president. Due to many reconstruction periods and the representative rooms taking up a lot of space, there is only one German president who has actually lived in the castle (Roman Herzog). At the Großer Stern intersection, in the center of the Großer Tiergarten, the Siegessäule watches over the west part of Berlin. It was built after a series of wars that lead to the unification of the many small states to the Kaiserreich. In the late 90s, the Siegessäule was the focal point for the annual Loveparade, one of the largest Techno festivals at that time. Behind the park lies the Potsdamer Platz, an example for the ’new Berlin’ and the urban renewal after the cold war. On the place stands a replica of the first traffic light in Berlin from the year 1924. The Breitscheidplatz lies at one end of the most prestigious shopping street of the city, the Kurfürstendamm. Its most striking building is the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche, which was heavily damaged in World War II, and is kept in its state as a war memorial. The remarkably large church bells, which were made out of cannon balls captured in the German-French war (1871) were repurposed for weaponry in 1943. The Zoologischer Garten is a zoo that also consists of a very large aquarium where marine animals as well as reptiles, amphibians and insects can be found. Personal Recommodation of the Organizers District Friedrichshain: In the triangle between S Warschauer Straße, S Ostkreuz and U Samariterstraße you will find a large selection of bars, restaurants and pubs. Just start at one corner and find something you like. Near the conference venue: Along the Oranienburger Straße you will find many international bars and restaurants. Start at S Oranienburger Straße and walk through the Oranienburger Straße 19 or the small byroads. Or take a small walk starting at the conference hall along the Friedrichstraße. Burger Restaurant Rosenburger – Brunnenstr. 196, 10119 Berlin-Prenzl. Berg At U Rosenthaler Platz, in Brunnenstr. 196, you get served some of the nicest burgers in Berlin. You can choose from a range of toppings and organic meat patties are available as well. Homemade curly fries are my personal favourite. Que Pasa – Skalitzer Str. 107, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg or Oranienburger Str. 27, 10117 Berlin-Mitte Here you can eat mexican food or drink tasty cocktails. My personal favourite is Chilli con Carne. If you are with a bigger group, you should try this bar, as they have a bit more space. Hops & Barley – Wühlischstr. 22/23, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain This pub has its own brewery and serves several homebrewed beers and cider. Aspendos – Hauptstraße 11, 10827 Berlin-Schöneberg This little restaurant has Turkish specialities (including the Berlin default fast food - the Döner) in great quality. Varadero – Vorbergstraße 11, 10823 Berlin This Cuban restaurant serves great typical food. The music and overall atmosphere are perfect, and they make good cocktails. Paules Metal Eck – Krossener Straße 15, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain For friends of metal musik, Paules Metal Eck can be recommended. Vapiano – Mittelstraße 51, 10117 Berlin This self service restaurant offers you delicious low budget mediterranean food. Villa Rixdorf – Richardplatz, 12055 Berlin There you can eat good traditional fare in a characteristic german atmosphere.

Atoms are no longer intangible objects. They can be imaged individually and even manipulated into structures that do not exist naturally. We focus on magnetic nanostructures and test how classical concepts of magnetism emerge from the quantum mechanical behavior of individual atoms. We use a lowtemperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and assemble the nanostructures from different transition metal elements. Inelastic tunneling spectroscopy serves as a highly sensitive tool to achieve chemical identification of the atoms and to resolve their magnetic properties. With this technique we can quantify magnetic exchange interaction and follow the evolution of magnetic states as we build the nanostructure one atom at a time. This makes it possible to optimize arrangements of atoms that either enhance or reduce magnetic stability.

Becker Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) of Elements in Biological Tissue J. Sabine Becker The application of mass spectrometry with soft ionization techniques (ESI, electrospray ionization, and MALDI, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization) in the life sciences for the detection and identification of biomolecules is already well established. The application of elemental mass spectrometry using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for the determination of metals, metalloids and non-metals biological tissue is rather new and there is some hesitation in accepting this analytical method, although it offers many advantages. Elemental and biomolecular mass spectrometric methods are highly complementary. LA-ICP-MS, as a solid state mass spectrometric technique, allows the direct determination of trace elements in biological and environmental samples and is applied for microlocal and imaging technique of elements with spatial resolution in the µm range.[1-5] Based on the established routine BrainMet technique (BrainMet - Bioimaging of Metals in Brain and Metallomics) in quantitative elemental imaging using LA-ICP-MS with a spatial resolution between 200 to ∼ 10 µm, we developed the combination of a laser microdissection apparatus to ICP-MS (LMD-ICP-MS) to imaging of metals at higher spatial resolution (10 to < 1 µm) and develop a method combining elemental imaging by LA/LMD-ICP-MS with molecular imaging by MALDI-MS. Fig. 1: Mass spectrum of a line scan (top left) and images of selected metals and non-metals measured by LA-ICP-MS in routine mode.[4] On the basis of selected examples, it will be shown that the combination of different elemental and biomolecular mass spectrometric techniques can solve analytical problems in the life sciences. Future developments and trends will be discussed concerning instrumental developments of new mass spectrometric techniques providing improvement of spatial resolution and high sensitivity with lower detection limits for different application areas in life sciences.

Schreiner* Chemical reactivity is traditionally understood[3,4] in terms of kinetic versus thermodynamic control,[5,6] wherein the driving force is the lowest activation barrier among the possible reaction paths or the lowest free energy of the final products, respectively. Here we expose quantum mechanical tunneling as a third driving force that can overwrite traditional kinetic control and govern reactivity based on nonclassical penetration of the potential energy barriers connecting the reactants and products. These findings are exemplified with the first experimental isolation and full spectroscopic and theoretical characterization of the elusive hydroxycarbenes (R-C-OH, 1)[7-10] that undergo facile [1,2]hydrogen tunneling to the corresponding aldehydes under barriers of nearly 30.0 kcal mol−1 with half-lives of around 1-2 h even at experimental temperatures as low as 10 K, despite of the presence of paths with substantially lower barriers (e.g., CH-tunneling in 1b to 3 or rearrangement of 1c to 4). We will demonstrate that this is a general phenomenon,[11-13] as exemplified by other OH-tunneling examples such as the rotational isomerization of monomeric benzoic acid.[14] Such tunneling processes do not merely represent corrections to the reaction rate, they are the reaction rate, i.e., the completely control the reaction outcome.[1] [1] P.

It’s not a gourmet but fast food, and with an additional helping of French fries it contains a four-digit number of kilocalories and keeps your stomach busy for a couple of hours. When you order a “Currywurst”, the person behind the counter may ask you how hot the sausage should be. You should answer quickly and exactly, because if you hesitate too long, people in the queue behind you will start to get nervous. In that critical moment solid chemical knowledge can be of great help. Indeed the biochemistry of Bell Pepper and Chili has many surprises to offer. The brilliant red color is based on the “paprika ketones”, compounds that only capsicum can synthesize. The extraordinary pungency, which many humans all over the world enjoy so much, is due to capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin, which are also compounds that only capsicum can produce. With all that knowledge about capsicums’s unique and outstanding chemical achievements, you can order your “Currywurst”, more precisely, qualified, and relaxed, which can make a “Currywurst”, a delicious experience you shouldn’t miss. This is just another proof that chemistry not only can be exciting but also taste good. Guten Appetit!

Various carbohydrate ligands have been synthesised and applied in organometal complexes in our group.[1] Glucopyranosidato and allopyranosidato ligands with their oxygen donor atoms were applied in zirconium and titanium complexes presenting different structural motifs and a possible application in the hydroamination reaction.[2-5] The successful change of donor atoms from oxygen to nitrogen by synthesis of a diaminoglucoside ligand afforded the opportunity for synthesis of group 6 sugar carbonyl complexes.[6] To enable the use of sugar ligands in late transition metal complexes a N,O-motif was chosen for coordination. Three ligand precursors, aminoglucopyranoside 1, aminoallopyranoside 2 and aminomannopyranoside 3, have been prepared and their coordination chemistry on ruthenium complexes of the type [Ru(η 6 − arene)Cl2 ]2 is being investigated.[7] The first promising results applying the derived complexes in the Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation have been achieved and are subject to further studies.[7] Just recently, the molecular structure of dichlorido(η 6 -p-cymene)(methyl-2amino-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-α-D-allopyranoside-κN 2 )ruthenium(II) 4 could be determined.[7] Molecular Structure and Structural Formula of Complex 4 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] 36 S.

Herein we report a catalytic mechanism for reduction of protons where the P=O function as protonation site and hence can be involved in proton relay. This protonation of the P=O functionality was proved by monitoring the reaction of the complexes with HBF4 ·Et2 O by IR and 31 P NMR spectroscopic methods. High level DFT calculations of the protonation by HBF4 ·Et2 O or pyridinium acid have been carried out considering the P=O functionality and the dithiolato sulfur atoms as potential sites for protonation.

Juni 135 – Berlin – GER [email protected] “Rollover” cyclometalation, which constitutes a special case of the well-known cyclometalation reaction, requires decomplexation and rotation of the ligand as key steps prior to metal mediated C–H bond activation (1 → 2 + HX in Figure 1).[1] While “rollover”-cyclometalated complexes are well known for a long time, their reactivity has hardly been studied. In mass-spectrometric experiments, however, which constitute a powerful tool to probe chemical reactions in a highly idealized environment, this particular kind of cyclometalated species exhibits a rich chemistry.[2] “Rollover”cyclometalated [Pt(bipy - H)]+ (2) (bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine) is conveniently produced by electrospray ionization (ESI) of methanolic solutions of dimeric [Pt(CH3 )2 (µ(CH3 )2 S)]2 and 2,2’-bipyridine. In ion/molecule reactions of this complex with ethane, the liberation of neutral ethene is observed concomitant with the formation of the platinum-hydride complex [Pt(H)(bipy)]+ (2 + C2 H6 → 3 + C2 H4 , Figure 1). The latter species might, based on DFT results, undergo ejection of H2 via “rollover” cyclometalation to regenerate [Pt(bipy – H)]+ (2) as demonstrated earlier for the corresponding methyl and chloro complexes [Pt(X)(bipy)]+ (1, X = CH3 , Cl).[3] This sequence of processes might be regarded as a catalytic cycle for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane by “rollover”-cyclometalated [Pt(bipy - H)]+ (2) as summarized in Figure 1. When the classically cyclometalated platinum complexes [Pt(L - H)]+ (L = 2-phenylpyridine, 7,8-benzoquinoline) are subjected to reactions with ethane, similar processes occur as encountered for [Pt(bipy - H)]+ (2), while the relative rates are drastically reduced when compared with the “rollover”-cyclometalated analogue. This observation is interpreted in terms of a pathway that proceeds directly at the cyclometalated platinum complexes instead of taking the route via retro-“rollover” cyclometalation. This process, however, which generates [Pt(L - H)(H2 )(C2 H4 )]+ as an intermediate, is more energy demanding, which explains the decreased relative rates. Figure 1: Illustration of the gas-phase generation of "rollover"-cyclometalated [Pt(bipy – H)]+ (2) and its potential use for the catalytic dehydrogenation of ethane. [1] B. Butschke, H.

Although a growing number of natural products and other biologically active molecules have been functionalized with a diazirine moiety, relatively little has been improved regarding the chemoselectivity of diazirines.[2] Based on extensive quantum mechanical calculations searching for suitable carbenes with a singlet ground state, we investigated experimentally the selectivity of a 3-(pmethoxyphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-3H -diazirine towards phenolic motifs. By deuteration experiments, we were able to show for the first time that electron rich positions are alkylated via a carbene-protonation mechanism, which becomes dominant if the ground state of the carbene is singlet.[3] We are currently working on the design of sterically hindered diazirines which should ideally undergo only one chemoselective reaction with structural motifs present in proteins and nucleic acids. This would clearly facilitate the interpretation of mass spectra of covalent ligand-protein adducts formed by PAL and the investigation of binding modes. 1 [1] J. Brunner, H. Senn, F. M. Richards, J.

For instance convolutamidines, are proved to be anti-leukaemia agents.[1] Furthermore, epoxides bearing a phosphonate moiety, like phosphonomycine, display a quite good antiviral and antibiotic activities.[2] Over the last decades organocatalysis has proved to be an excellent asymmetric activation mode, which can also be used to get new, challenging reactions and to mold highly complex scaffolds.[3] Hydrogen-bond interactions have recently had a breakthrough in this field and, whereas covalent organocatalysis has broadly been explored, non covalent catalysis still represents a novelty for organic chemists.[4] For instance interesting and very efficient examples of this activation mode have recently been reported by the use of thioureas, or confined Brønsted acids, that have proved to be very efficient and selective in many kinds of synthetic transformations.[5] Our research group has reported about the epoxidation of new 3-alkylidenoxindoles bearing a phosphonate group, because of the previously highlighted expected properties.[6] Moreover we have recently proved how prolinol derivatives could act as H-bonding catalysts towards this kind of reaction.[7] Herein we report the last results of a H-bonding catalysed, enantioselective, nucleophilic epoxidation of 3-alkylidenoxindoles; this reaction, catalysed by prolinol in a fast, mild way, gave us quite good results in terms of enantioselectivities (up to 93% ee), substrate scope (more than 30 spiro epoxyoxindoles), and yields (up to 98% Y). We hypothesised a reaction mechanism which involve a H-bond network between the catalyst/oxidant system and the olefin. We checked, as well, the effect on reactivity and selectivity of different substituents on the nitrogen atom, on the aromatic ring, and on the exocyclic double bond, such as phosphonates which could result in antiviral activity.[2] [1] S.

While alkyl substituted radicals are efficiently reduced, electron poor radicals slowly react with catechol derivatives giving them sufficient lifetime to undergo addition reactions. This peculiar feature could be used to trigger inter and intramolecular processes such as the contrathermodynamic 3-exo-trig cyclisation shown here. The Arrhenius parameters for the hydrogen atom transfer to different alkyl radicals could be determined using substituted 5-hexenyl radical clocks. The variations of the activation energies in function of the exothermicity of the reaction and of the polar effects affecting the transition state are discussed. Catechol/triethylborane mediated 3-exo-trig radical cyclisation [1] G. Povie, G. Villa, L. Ford, D. Pozzi, C. H. Schiesser, P. Renaud, Chem. Commun. 2010, 803-805. [2] G. Villa, G. Povie, P.

These properties can be adjusted by altering size, composition, crystal structure and morphology.[1] Thus, size control provides one effective key to an accurate adjustment of the colloidal properties but is often challenging. The common approach to size control is a simple parameter variation via trial and error. The actual particle growth mechanisms and in particular the parameter influences on the growth process remain a black box.[2] This contribution presents an approach to size control which is based on a profound mechanistic understanding. It comprises three steps: (A) the investigation of the principle growth mechanism for one set of parameters, (B) the investigation of parameter influences on the growth mechanism which leads to the identification of size determining parameters and (C) the well-directed development of synthetic recipes. This approach is exemplified for a silver nanoparticle synthesis, namely the reduction of AgClO4 with an excess of NaBH4 in water. Recently, we deduced the principle growth mechanism from time-resolved in-situ SAXS investigations (see figure 1).[3] It comprises (1) the rapid reduction of the ionic silver, (2) the coalescence of these preliminary formed clusters, (3) an intermediate phase of stability and (4) a second coalescence which is the result of the complete conversion of residual BH4- to B(OH)4-. The final particle mean radius ranges from 4 to 9 nm and is poorly reproducible. In the next step of the approach, the influences of reaction parameters on the growth mechanisms were elucidated.[4] It was found that the reproducibility can be improved by controlled aging of the reducing agent solution. In addition, the decisive size determining parameters could be identified. As a result, synthetic procedures for silver colloids were developed which allow a size control in a wide range without additional steric stabilization.

Hickey∗ , Alexander Eychmüller∗ ∗ Physikalische Chemie – TU Dresden – Bergstraße 66b – Dresden – GER † MPI for Chemical Physics of Solids – Max Planck Institute – Nöthnitzer Straße 40 – Dresden – GER [email protected] Self aggregation and organization of nanoparticulate building blocks to form mesocrystals (Quantum dot solids) with special shapes and tunable properties is promising for many applications because such 2D and 3D arrangements combine the size-dependent properties of the individual nanoparticles (NPs) with new features that are derived from the unique collective properties inherent within arrays of ordered particles. At the present time mesocrystals are of increasing interest because these structures have further promising applications as light emitting devices, photodetectors and solar cells.[1] In this work we investigate the internal ordering of PbS mesocrystals at the atomistic scale with respect to the superlattice formed through the self assembly of the NPs.[2] The hierarchical structures were synthesized using a gentle diffusion technique employing spherical lead chalcogenide NPs as building blocks. The PbS mesocrystals were characterized by SEM. In order to shed some light on the inner ordering of the PbS mesocrystals FIB cuts have been performed and subjected to detailed TEM investigations. The results of the HR-TEM studies show that a distinct structural relationship between the crystallographic orientation of the PbS (galena) core of the NPs and their ordering within the fcc superstructure of the mesocrystals exists. Additionally, careful examinations of the HR-TEM images along the different projections of the individual nanocrystals have revealed that the appearance of the individual NPs is closely related to that of truncated octahedra. These findings are further supported by means of atomistic simulations undertaken on the NP assemblies as well as of the constitution of the monomeric building blocks. [1] S. M. Rupich, E. V.

These materials will contribute to a sustainable future by providing major energy savings. However, the critical current density (Jc ) remains too low for optimal application in high magnetic fields. Moreover, the dependence of Jc on the orientation of the magnetic field poses problems for practical application.[1] These problems can be circumvented by the introduction of various structural and morphological defects (artificial pinning centers). Recently, BaZrO3 and Y2 O3 nanostructures have proven some effectiveness via insitu approaches.[1] However, our innovative research focuses on the ex-situ addition of nanosized BaZrO3 , T a2 O5 and HfO 2 of which the latter have never been used as artificial pinning centers up to date. This ex-situ approach provides more control over the size and morphology of the nanostructures and hence their pinning properties. We explored solvothermal, microwave and hot-injection synthesis methods for the creation of these nanostructures. We try to restrain the use of organics in those synthesis routes and use as much as possible environmental-friendly, even water-based precursors. The synthesized nanoparticles were incorporated in YBCO precursor solutions. In order to do this we needed to carefully assess the surface chemistry of the different types of nanoparticles, and study the influence of ligand exchange on the stability of the nanoparticle/YBCO precursor mixtures. In the end, these mixtures will be used as inks in order to deposit ex-situ pinned YBCO on selected substrates through ink-jet printing. TEM picture of solvothermally prepared Hf O2 nanoparticles.

It is mostly determined by the diffusion coefficient of a given molecule in the cytoplasm. However, in an environment as crowded as the cytoplasm, accurate description of the diffusion rates becomes much more complicated than in simple liquids. It has been frequently observed that small proteins present diffusion coefficients much greater (even by orders of magnitude) than predicted by the classical Stokes-Einstein equation. The experiment-based explanation we suggest utilizes the notion of the so-called nanoviscosity.[1] This parameter includes both the properties of the complex liquid as well as the length scale of the object whose mobility is investigated. Thus, two objects differing is size may effectively experience different viscosity of the very same environment.[2] The scaling we propose may be merged with the reaction rate theory to produce a simple yet universal and extremely functional physical description of diffusion processes in complex liquids. Most of the experimental work was performed by means of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) – a fairly new and little known technique of great potential. To provide a straightforward framework of parameters, we focused on polymer model systems. However, the results are not only a contribution to the development of polymer theory. A new perspective is opened for modeling the transport processes and predicting the mobility of any nano-scaled objects in crowded environment. [1] R. Hołyst, A. Bielejewska, J. Szymański, A.

Since the 30ies of the 20th century the importance of the compound as drug declined as more effective medication was available for diseases like syphilis and its side effects were put more into focus. At the end of the 20th century more evidence emerged for new application of ATO as a cancer therapeutic. Recently ATO was approved by the FDA for the use in the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute promyelotic leukemia (APL). Since the introduction of ATO in chemotherapy, we keep learning about the cytostatic activity of the drug. Still the knowledge on the intracellular chemistry of ATO with regard to the activity profile of the drug is however fragmentary. The debate continues if ATO can be applied for other blood and solid cancers.[1,2] The contoversity about scientific results in this case and the etablished concepts of mode of action for ATO was motivation for this work. The intracellular metabolism of ATO concerning the binding dynamics between cytosolic compounds with special emphasis on the interaction with glutathione and the formation of its oxidized form was extensively studied. Sensitive versus resistance cancer cell models as well as cell lines derived from different types of cancer were subject due to this investigation. [1] J. Zhu, Z. Chen, V. Lallemand-Breitenbach, H.

Davis, Christopher J. Schofield Chemistry Research Laboratory – University of Oxford – 12 Mansfield Road – Oxford – UK [email protected] 2-Oxoglutarate oxygenases[1] are non-haeme Fe(II)-dependent oxygenases that require 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) and oxygen as cosubstrates. They catalyse a wide range of oxidative reactions on unactivated C-H bonds and are involved in all steps of gene expression. 2OG oxygenases are ‘druggable‘ targets; both inhibition and activation of different 2OG oxygenases can be of therapeutic interest. However, selectivity vs. other ‘key‘ 2OG oxygenases will be important. Human aspartyl/asparaginyl-β-hydroxylase (AspH)[2] is a 2OG oxygenase and catalyses hydroxylation of a specific aspartate or asparagine residue in epidermal growth factor-like (EGF-like) domains. The physiological role of hydroxylations catalysed by AspH is not yet fully determined. AspH is strongly expressed in various cancers,[3] and mice knockouts show increased incidence of tumour growth. The role of AspH for cancer needs to be further investigated but it is already being used as a biomarker for cancerous tissue in histopathological studies. Crystallographic studies revealed a common structural feature of 2OG oxyenases: The catalytic domain contains a double-stranded helix core fold (‘jelly roll’) which supports a highly but not universally conserved Fe(II)-binding motif in form of a triad of two histidines and one carboxylate, either Asp or less frequently Glu (HXD/E· · ·H triad motif). AspH lacks the HXD/E· · ·H triad Fe(II)-binding motif. Instead, it has a His-Xxx-Gly· · ·His motif, the Asp or Glu residue is not present. AspH therefore differs from other 2OG oxygenases and contains two Fe(II)-binding residues only. Its unique active site geometry makes AspH an attractive potential drug target. Here we demonstrate that the hydroxylase domain of the protein alone has no substrate hydroxylation activity but another domain, the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain, is required for substrate recognition. We present new crystal structures for a multidomain construct of AspH including enzyme-substrate-complexes with a peptide from the natural substrate coagulation factor X and designed cyclic peptides which provide valuable insight for further mechanistic studies and selective inhibitor design.

Therefore, the study of their active site and preparation of inhibitors could lead to the obtention of powerful fungicides which could be active against infectious organisms such as Aspergillus fumigatus or Candida albicans. We were able to study the x-ray crystalline structure of Gas2[1] , a membrane bound enzyme from Saccharomices cerevisae, a fungus that is usually studied in Biochemistry because of its genetical and structural analogies to pathogens like A. fumigatus and C. albicans. Knowing the active site and the optimal substrate for the enzyme, molecular docking studies were carried out to design the target molecules to be synthesized. We have optimized a purification method[2] of β(1,3)-oligosaccharides from commercially available glucans (Figure 1, A) and we have studied the synthesis of cyclic six membered nitrones that can be functionalized[3] with hydrophobic substituents (R) (Figure 1, B) which will be able to fit in a lipophilic cavity close to Gas2 active site. Nowadays, new docking, molecular dynamics and inhibition studies are being carried out to determine the activity as fungicides of the prepared compounds.

Generally 2 H spectral shapes analysis of 2 H NMR is based on perturbation theory. For biological systems the description of time scale outside of the perturbation regime is needed. Unswerving to this need in this work a theory of 2 H lineshape based on Stochastic Liouville Equation is presented.[2] . This treatment is an adaptation of “Swedish slow motion theory” [3,4] applied in Electron Spin Resonance (ESR). The presented theory of 2 H lineshapes is valid for arbitrary motional conditions and allow for considering various mechanisms of motion, for instance simple (Brownian), free - or jump rotational dynamics. The free diffusion model assumes that the molecule reorients freely for a given time and then jumps to a new orientation and then reorients again. In the case of jump diffusion it is assumed that the molecule has a fixed average direction around which it reorients for a given time and then jumps to a new direction. These models are described by two times: τ - life time of single orientation and τR - rotational correlation time. Illustrative simulations of 2 H lineshapes for the simple, jump- and free diffusion models are shown in the Fig.1. The theory has been applied to analyze 2 H lineshapes of amino acids (lizyne, glicyne, alanine) and proteins[5] (concanavaline and leucine69 from chicken villin - spectra were taken from [6] ) for the purpose of extracting information on the dynamical mechanisms of the selectively deuterated parts of the molecules. One can conclude from this attempt that the models capture the essential features of the dynamical processes and allow for a consistent interpretation of the 2 H NMR spectral shapes.

In biomedical field, Pcs have been investigated as potential photosensitizers (PSs) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). PDT is a medical modality which exploits oxygen, visible light and PS to treat various diseases including cancer, age-related macular degeneration, psoriasis, keratosis, etc.[1] Chemical modifications of existing PSs, designing novel molecules and pharmaceutical formulations are ongoing approaches aiming to improve PSs properties. As most Pcs are highly insoluble in water, they have been mainly modified either by chemical reactions leading to more soluble derivatives or by incorporation into vehicles like liposomes.[2] Herein, novel Pcs endowed with 2-(morpholin-4-yl)ethyloxy substituents were synthesized (1-4). Moreover, alkylation reaction of 1 led to water soluble Pc (4). Novel macrocycles were characterized using NMR techniques and crystallography. Their purity was assessed by HPLC method. In addition, absorption, emission and aggregation properties of the novel Pcs were studied. Singlet oxygen quantum yield of compounds 1-4 was measured both in DMSO and in DMF. Cytotoxic activity of these compounds was investigated using panel of cancer cell lines. The Pc 3 was found the most active compound which showed light but not dark cytotoxicity. Pcs 1-3 were then incorporated into liposomes following hydration procedure, and extruded to achieve a uniform size distribution. Liposomes were characterized by dynamic light-scattering method. Finally, the biological activity against human squamous cell carcinoma of novel Pcs, both non-incorporated and incorporated into liposomes, was studied.

Among the molecular transport systems investigated colloidal vehicles (e.g. micelles) are of special interest because they are able to transport also only poorly soluble or rapidly degradable molecules.[1] We report on the lipopeptide (LP) P2A2, which consists of a cell-penetrating peptide part A2 (derived from apoliprotein E) and of two palmitoyl chains P2.[2,3] The unique combination of cell-penetrating and micelle-forming properties paves the road for the development of a novel class of powerful drug carrier systems (DCS). Knowledge on the physico-chemical properties as well as the interaction of the DCS with the target (e.g. cells, cell membranes) is indispensible for the design of novel highly effective tailor-made DCS. Fundamental properties such as the critical micelle concentration (cmc), the aggregation number (Nagg ) as well as the exchange rates of drugs between DCS and environment are needed, which – in some cases – are only accessible with sensitive spectroscopic methods. For the spectroscopic investigation A2 and P2A2 were labeled with 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (FAM) and used as fluorescent probe. By using different spectroscopic methods (e.g. fluorescence anisotropy, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy) the FAM-labeled biomolecules were characterized regarding their aggregation behavior (cmc, Nagg ). To study the influence of the chemical composition of the peptide part on the micelle formation, P2A2 analogous with modified peptide sequences were investigated. P2A2 turned out to be a very strong detergent with an outstanding low cmc in the micromolar(!) range. For a powerful drug delivery system also the targeted delivery to specific cells[4] or the exchange kinetics of the pharmaceutical agents is highly important. Therefore, the exchange kinetics of P2A2 micelles were investigated in biomimetic systems using fluorescent probes as drug analogous. P2A2-micelle (yellow - palmitoyl chains). [1] V. P.

The microgel gelation is achieved via the bio-orthogonal thiol-ene click reaction of dithiolated polyethyleneglycol (PEG) macrocrosslinkers and acrylated hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG) building blocks and does not require any initiator.[2] This approach yields high cell viabilities of about 90%. To perform efficient cell analysis, fast and stimuli-responsive microgel degradation must be achievable to release encapsulated cells on demand. For this purpose, reversibly crosslinked supramolecular polymer gels are an interesting class of materials. We follow this approach and prepare supramolecularly crosslinked cell-laden microgels that consist of bipyridine-terminated PEG, crosslinked by complexation of non-harmful metal salts such as iron(II)-sulfate. To study the influence of the microgel elasticity on mammalian-cell viabilities, we use bpy-PEG-bpy precursors with different molecular weights and at different concentrations. That way, the microgel properties can be optimized to obtaining cell viabilities of up to 96%. These microgels are stable enough to use them as in-vitro 3D-cell culturing systems, but they are labile enough to release the cells on demand. This can be achieved by simple dilution on a timescale of hours or by the addition of decomplexing agents on a timescale of minutes, with no effect on the viability of the encapsulated and released cells.

Química Orgánica – Instituto de Nanociencia de Aragón, Universidad de Zaragoza - CSIC – C/ Pedro Cerbuna 12 – Zaragoza – ESP [email protected] Dendrimers are polymeric materials that have attracted a lot of attention, in many fields, all over the last decade. One of the main properties of dendrimers is that it is possible to achieve a high degree of control over their functionalization, both in the backbone and in the periphery. In our group, we have experience in the study of the structure-properties relationship of liquid crystal dendrimers, or the socalled dendromesogens.[1] In this work, different bifunctional materials have been synthesized based on block codendrimers. The objective is to obtain ordered and light emitting materials based on highly controllable dendritic structures. For the dendrimer backbone, we have used the first and second generation of bis-MPA dendrons.[2] From this starting material and by means of an orthogonal synthetic procedure, we obtain compounds with two or four peripheral hydroxyl groups for the first and second generations, respectively. Since our first goal was to prepare a liquid crystal material, we have introduced four mesogenic groups, which should favour the mesophase formation, and a variable amount of chromophores on the other side of the molecule, in order to study the relationship between the mesogenic and the emissive properties of the codendrimer. Afterwards, we have introduced some modifications in the structure to favour the formation of room temperature stable smectic and columnar phases that would benefit the ordered fluorescence emission. WAXD patterns show that dendrons and codendrimers with one terminal chain present type A and C smectic mesophases, whereas those with three terminal chains show columnar mesomorphism in some cases. Even though smectic phases are quite stable in the materials under study, the columnar mesomorphism is not always reached maybe due to the destabilization caused by the photoactive species. Calculations based on WAXD patterns allow us to propose molecular models for the mesophases. UV-vis absorption and fluorescence emission experiments show strong signals with maxima at 264 -268 nm and 351 nm, respectively, while when emission was measured from multi-domain oriented films maximum emission was found at 370 nm. Optical properties of these codendrimers show that the introduction of one, two or four carbazole units does not affect the emission quantum yield. Fig. 1.

Juni 135 – Berlin – GER † Institut für Molekülphysik – Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft – Faradayweg 4-6 – Berlin – GER [email protected] The selective oxidation of hydrocarbons still constitutes one of the major challenges in contemporary chemistry to solve global problems, such as the environmentally benign and economically feasible conversion of natural gas into value-added products.[1] Today, there exist numerous effective homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts which cover a broad spectrum of oxidation reactivity; however, it is not exaggerated to note the lack of substantiated knowledge about the intrinsic properties of many of the catalysts which, after all, control the selectivity of the various oxidation processes. A well-known example for such a poorly understood catalytic process represents the chemical transformation of n-butane to maleic anhydride by the so-called VPO-catalysts; this highly complex and selective reaction involves the abstraction of eight hydrogen atoms from, as well as the transfer of three oxygen atoms to C4 H10 . One approach in the elucidation of mechanistic aspects at a molecular level employs reactivity studies which are conducted under near single-collision conditions in a mass spectrometer in conjunction with computational studies.[2] Our recent results report on the electrospray-ionization (ESI) generation of the small, mixed-oxo cluster [V P O4 ]+ , its electronic structure in the gas phase as well as its reactivity towards small hydrocarbons, thus permitting a comparison to the long-time known and extensively investigated vanadium-oxide cation [V2 O4 ]+ .[3] As described in previous studies, the latter exhibits no reactivity towards small hydrocarbons, such as CH4 , C2 H6 , C3 H8 , C4 H1 0, and C2 H4 , while the substitution of one vanadium atom by a phosphorous atom yields the reactive [V P O4 ]+ ion which brings about oxidative dehydrogenation from saturated hydrocarbons, i.e. propane and butane, as well as oxygen-atom transfer to unsaturated hydrocarbons, i.e. ethene, at thermal conditions. Further, the structure of [V P O4 ]+ was characterized in the gas phase by advanced IR photodissociation spectroscopy, and a comparison is made to the also structurally characterized gaseous [V2 O4 ]+ system, including structure-reactivity relationships. Finally, reaction mechanisms are elucidated by DFT calculations; the results underline the key role of phosphorous in terms of C-H bond activation of hydrocarbons by mixed VPO-clusters. [1] J. R.

Juni 135, 10623 Berlin – Berlin – GER [email protected] Intensive research has shown the importance of Cu containing catalysts for methanol steam reforming (MSR) as H2 source.[1] For subsequent fuel cell application CO formation due to side reactions like water gas shift needs to be avoided. Therefore, the correlation between catalyst structure and activity has to be understood. From investigations of Cu/ZnO/Al2 O3 catalyst, Cu was found to be the active phase, while ZnO and Al2 O3 were suggested as both functional and structural promoters.[2] To further reveal the effect of structural changes of the active Cu phase (e.g. micro strain) on MSR activity, suitable model systems have to be investigated. Therefore, binary Cu-ZnO catalysts, for instance, have been studied in detail[3] . Here, Cu particles were deposited on nanostructured silica to reveal correlations between the structure of Cu particles and their catalytic activity. This approach shall allow distinguishing these effects from any further promoting effect of ZnO. Cu catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness. Therefore, SBA-15 was treated with Cu citrate solution. Subsequent decomposition in air resulted in the oxidic precursor. XAS at the Cu K edge showed that CuO is the major copper phase in the oxidic precursor of all catalysts. During reduction in 5 % H2 , formation of an intermediate phase before generation of Cu particles was observed with in situ XAS measurements. After reduction, partially oxidized metallic Cu was found. The average oxidation state was shifted from ± 0 up to + 0.4. In situ diffraction patterns illustrated enlarged Cu particles with increasing Cu loading on silica support. XAS measurement of the Cu K edge also indicated that higher loading of Cu resulted in bigger Cu particles after reduction (Fig. 1). However, these Cu catalysts showed a good catalytic activity with high selectivity to CO2 . Correlation between structure of the Cu phase and the performance of the catalysts will be discussed.

Tamm∗ ∗ Chemical Department – Lomonosov Moscow State University – Leninskie Gori/1-3 – Moscow – RUS † Institute of Chemistry – Humboldt University Berlin – Brook-Taylor Straße/2 – Berlin – GER [email protected] The C84 fullerene corresponds to the higher fullerenes of more than 70 carbon atoms. As is widely known, the number of possible isomers rapidly grows with the number of carbon atoms, the isomers which obey the Isolated Pentagon Rule (IPR)[1] being the most stable. There are 24 possible IPR-isomers of C84 fullerene. Unambiguous structural determination of the fullerene molecules requires an X-ray study of pristine isomers or their derivatives. In this regard, the derivatized molecules frequently prove advantageous as the attached moieties suppress rotational disorder thereby enabling reliable determination of both cage connectivity and addition patterns. Here we report synthesis, separation, and structural characterization by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction new trifluoromethyl derivatives of 5 IPR isomers the fullerene C84 . Mixtures of higher fullerenes were reacted with CF3 I in a sealed ampoule at 420◦ C and 550◦ C. The C2m (CF3 )2n reaction products were dissolved in hexane or toluene and subjected to multistep HPLC separation (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia). Single crystals grown from isolated fractions were studied by X-ray diffraction with the use of synchrotron radiation (BESSY, Free University, Berlin, Germany). Structural relationship accompanied with theoretical investigation (DFT/PRIRODA) allowed determining the main addition rules and revealing the sequential addition pathways. [1] 56 P. W. Fowler, D. E.

Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks and limitations to the use of titanium implants, e.g. their inertness and long-term osseointegration via the natural oxide (TiO2 ) existing on their surface. Therefore, titanium with nanoporous materials on its surface becomes a novel solution for bone implant technology.[2] Anodic titanium oxide (ATO) films on Ti foils were prepared via a three-step anodization in glycol ethylene based solutions containing NH4 F (0.38 wt.%) and H2 O (1.79 wt.%) under a constant voltage of 40 V. The duration of first and second anodizing step was 3h. The duration of the third step was 10 min. Titanium foils (99.5 % purity) were used as both working and counter electrodes. The anodization was performed in two-electrode cells at a constant temperature of 20◦ C. After anodization, some samples were annealed at the temperature of 400 or 1000◦ C in order to achieve different polymorphic structures of TiO2 (anatase and rutile). Other samples were modified with silver nanoparticles. Such prepared samples were used for the cell growth and microbial examinations. Adipocyte derived stem cells obtained from abdominal liposuction were seeded onto TiO2 surfaces. Cell viability, proliferation and phenotype were assessed by the measurement of redox reactions in the cells, cellular DNA, tritiated thymidine ([3H]-TdR) incorporation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria were used for examination of antimicrobial character of nanoporous TiO2 on Ti. The evaluations of the inhibition of microorganism growth and biofilm formation on various nanoporous TiO2 surfaces were performed. Nanoporous TiO2 surfaces were placed either on the surface of Mueller-Hinton agar which was inoculated with microorganisms before or stroked perpendicularly into the inoculated selected broth. In both techniques a zone of inhibition on broths was measured. For biofilm formation tests, nanoporous TiO2 surfaces were placed in liquid broths with suspension of microorganisms. The occurrence of biofilm on plates was investigated with a microscopic and UV radiation methods. [1] [2] 58 K.M. Buettner, A.M. Valentine, Chem. Rev. 2012, 112, 1863-1881. M. Stigter, J.

[1,2] Here we present results of our studies on fabrication and physicochemical characterization of stable suspensions of SPIONs. Nanoparticles are covered with ultrathin layer of polymer preventing aggregation process. For investigating SPIONs properties we used a wide range of methods such as Dynamic Light Scattering (size and charge), Transmission Electron Microscopy (size), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (magnetization of suspension) and High Resolution Electron Microscope for (crystallographic structure) among others. The possibility of using SPIONs towards biological applications will be investigated in the next step.

As a result of comprehensive researches made in recent years, new thiourea compounds having anticancer, antitumor, antiviral, anti-HIV, antimalarial and other various pharmacological activities have been synthesized.[1] On the other hand, antimicrobial, antituberculosis and antibacterial activities of iminothiazolidinone compounds have been observed in their biological and pharmacological activity studies.[2] In addition, existence of anti-inflammatory[3] and antifungal[4] effects of these compounds are also mentioned. Therefore, in this study, some new substituted pyridinyl iminothiazolidinone derivatives which are considered that may possess biological activity have been obtained via one-pot multicomponent method by using thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, chloroacetic acid and several hetaryl-thioureas; and the structures of all these synthesized compounds have been clarified with spectral data:[5] Thanks for Yıldız Technical University Scientific Research Projects Coordination’s support in this study.Project No: 2010-01-02-GEP01.

According to Scherrer XRD analysis, the size of particles was about 50 nm. The dope of Dy3+ resulted in white emission. The phosphors can be excited by 350 nm near-ultraviolet light. The emission color can be tuned between yellowish-white, bluish-white and almost pure white, what was confirmed with CIE chromaticity diagrams. The materials can find potential applications in luminescent tubes and light emitting diodes. Structure The composition of the materials was kept as MeMe’2 Gd2−x Dyx (BO3 )4 , where Me, Me’ = Ca, Sr, Ba. The details of the synthesis procedure are described in our paper [1]. The materials were studied by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectrofluorimetry in the visible range and luminescence lifetime measurements. In the case of Me = Me’ the XRD patterns of the studied compounds matched the related entries of JCPDS database. However, in the case of different Me and Me’ the peaks in XRD patterns were located between the peaks of appropriate references. The width of peaks was much smaller than the shifts. It means, that new structures containing both Me and Me’ were formed and no mixture of two phases was present. Sherrer XRD analysis [2] showed particles size of about 50 nm. Photoluminescence The excitation spectra of the samples contained maxima in the spectral range of 330400 nm, corresponding to 4f-4f transitions from the ground state of 6 H15/2 to 4 F7/2 , 6F 4 4 4 4 4 3+ . The emission was 9/2 , G21/2 , H15/2 , K15/2 , P3/2 , P7/2 levels of Dy represented by two main bands at 486 and 577 nm corresponding to transitions from 4F 3+ level to 6 H 6 9/2 Dy 15/2 and H13/2 levels, respectively. The decay times varied within the range of 2-2.5 ms and the luminescence decay curves were monoexponential. The color of emission (characterized by CIE 1931 color coordinates) linearly changed in the series of Ba3 Gd2 (BO3 )4 , Ba2 SrGd2 (BO3 )4 , BaSr2 Gd2 (BO3 )4 , Sr3 Gd2 (BO3 )4 , CaSr2 Gd2 (BO3 )4 , Ca2 SrGd2 (BO3 )4 , Ca3 Gd2 (BO3 )4 from yellowish-white to bluishwhite being very close to pure white (D65 standard source) in all cases. Additional excitation bands arising from transitions from the ground state of 8 S7/2 to 6 I15/2 and 6P 3+ were present in spectra of Gd-based compounds. Those bands 7/2 level of Gd were located at 272.8 and 310 nm, respectively. No emission from Gd3+ was observed. It means that efficient energy transfer occurred from Gd3+ to the Dy3+ dope ions.

Hickey, Alexander Eychmüller Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry – TU Dresden – Bergstraße 66b – Dresden – GER [email protected] A versatile and effective method by which a wide range of nanoparticulate materials can be attached to a variety of oxidic surfaces is presented. After synthesizing the nanocrystals (PbS, CdSe, CdSe@CdS core shell, Au) via standard hot injection routes, the stabilizing ligands are exchanged to 3-mercatopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The ligand exchange is monitored using FTIR-spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The modified nanocrystals were then applied to different oxidic substrates, yielding homogeneous and dense particle films. The effectiveness of this coating procedure is then compared with the commonly employed deposition methods by means of electrochemical measurements and scanning electron microscopy imaging and found to be vastly superior in its particle deposition efficiency. The applicability of this methodology is further verified by depositing a layer of PbS nanoparticles onto a silica sphere colloidal crystals to modify its optical properties.

Although indenyl ligands are also monoanionic, formal six-electron ligands that are often considered close analogues of the cyclopentadienyl anion, they have been explored to a lesser extent. Several substituted indenyl systems have been reported, but examples with bulky alkyl substituted derivative have relatively limited, e.g. C9H5(iPr)2[3] , C9H5(tms)2[3] and C9H6(cHex)[4] . Here we report on the preparation of the series of manganese, iron and cobalt complexes bearing stericaly demanding 1,3-disubstitueted indenyl ligands, C9H5(tBu)2 (1) and C9H5(cHex)2 (2). The influence of bulky alkyl groups on structure and electronic properties of these metallocene will be presented.[5] Although the cone angles and electronic properties of each ligands are similar to 1,2,4-(tBu)3C5H2 (Cp’),[6] indenyl iron half sandwich complexes are only stable at low temperature.

Polyether imides have higher diffusivity selectivity due to their fused ring structure and rigid backbone. Their high glass transition temperatures allow higher pressure and temperature applications without plastic deformation.[4] Mixing is very important in modern technologies for processing of materials composed of many different chemical components. Polymer and liquid crystal mixtures are an important area of interest in science and engineering because of its many applicat ions in industry. Miscibility can be detected by a number of techniques. Among these techniques, it is well known that determination of the viscometry of a dilute solution is a simple and quick method for determining the miscibility. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is one of the many techniques that have been applied to investigate specific molecular bonding interactions in polymer blends.[5] In the case of immiscible systems, the spectrum of the blend reflects the appropriate addition of the IR spectrum of the two individual components. In the case of miscible or partially miscible polymer blends, the IR spectrum would show formation of new bands as the results of miscibility; and disappearance of some component bands. Shifts in the specific bands would give information on the switches from component specific bonds to the bonds between components. This study deals with the determination of the miscibility of poly (ether imide) (Ultem) and their mixtures with liquid crystalline (4-[4-(Dodesiloksi) benzoyloxy] benzoic acid (4DBBA)) compounds in dilute solutions. Mixtures of variable compositions from 0 to 100 wt were prepared by solvent casting. Their miscibility was investigated by using viscometry and FTIR. [1] N. Sen, Current Science 2000, 79(10), 1417.

Electrodeposition is the method of choice to synthesize nanoengineered thermoelectric materials because of low operating and capital costs, high deposition rates, near room temperature operation, and the ability to tailor the properties of materials by adjusting deposition conditions. Indium antimonide (InSb) is a small band gap semiconductor with high carrier mobility and small effective mass, and is widely use in optical detectors, high-speed electronic devices, and magnetic field sensors. Different methods have been used to fabricate InSb nanowires, such as physical and chemical vapor deposition (PVD, CVD), vapor-liquid-solid (VLS), and hydrothermal methods. Comparatively, the pulse electrodeposition process using porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates, is an effective and inexpensive method of fabricating nanowires. In this work, we have fabricated a nanowire-based device using laser lithography to measure the Seebeck coefficient and resistance of an InSb nanowire. The InSb nanowire was synthesized using template assisted pulse electrodeposition method.

Organic photovoltaic cells are cheaper than commonly used silicon cells however they are less efficient. The key issue in designing of new efficient materials is undisturbed transport of charge carriers to appropriate electrodes in the cell. The structure of conductive polymer brushes can provide directional and effective transport of such charge carriers formed along single polymer chains. We report here synthesis of essential compounds for Surface-Initiated Atom Transfer Radical Polymerizations (ATRP) applied for template polymerization of conjugated polymers.[1] We present the synthesis of a monomer which has both −C=C− and −C≡C− groups in its structure and the pyridine ring. In addition, two relatively short ATRP initiators, which can form SAMs on the gold substrate are synthesized. Physicochemical characterisation of the new compounds is presented. AFM images of the polymer brushes of the selected monomers obtained by “grafting from” method with application of the new initiators are also shown.

Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 009 Ring opening polymerization of organic carbonats using CO2 - carbene adducts as effective organo catalyst Annika Reitz , Dirk Kuckling, René Wilhelm Chemie – Universität Paderborn – Warburgerstraße 100 – Paderborn – GER [email protected] Many modern applications of polymers are in biological systems. Therefore, residual metals should be avoided and the polymer itself should be degradable. Polytrimethylene carbonate is slightly more stable than polylactide but still biodegradable in reasonable span of time and therefore a good choice for stents or similar applications. Since the homopolymer of trimethylencarbonate shows a very low glass temperature copolymerization improves the mechanical properties and multiplies the uses of Polytrimethylencarbonat. Highly reactive carbenes can be used as efficient organo catalyst but their moisture and air sensibility is a major drawback. Especially their great diversity due to the effect of substituents makes them a great advantage. The use of adducts, especially those of CO2 , is a major improvement, as they are air stable and easy to handle. The polymerization was carried out in bulk with benzylalcohol as initiator and the CO2 adduct of 1,3 Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene as catalyst. To improve the polymerization microwave energy is used. In this microwave assisted polymerization the turnover increases while the polydispersity stays low. The polymers are characterized by NMR and IR spectroskopy, ESI-IMS-MS and GPC. Their molecular weight, polydispersity and end groups will be discussed. chemical equation of polymerization Poster 010 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 67 Investigating Thermodynamic Interactions of 4-[4-((S)-Citronellyloxy) Benzoyloxy] Benzoic Acid (SBBA) Liquid Crystal with Some Solvents by Inverse Gas Chromatography Ismail Erol, Fatih Cakar, Hale Ocak, Belkis Bilgin-Eran, Ozlem Cankurtaran, Ferdane Karaman Chemistry – Yildiz Technical University – Istanbul – TUR [email protected] Liquid crystals (LCs) represent a fascinating state of matter with wide technical applications in display industry and optoelectronics, significant importance for the development of new functional materials, nanopatterning, tissue engineering, sensor and biosensor applications, and also providing a fundamental concept in biological self-assembly. This is due to the dual nature of LCs, combining features of anisotropic crystalline solids and isotropic liquids, enabling their soft self-assembled and ordered structures to respond to external stimuli, but also to their ability of self-healing of defects formed.[1] Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) is now widely used to examine the physicochemical properties of different materials of both liquid and solid. The term “inverse” indicates that the examined material, e.g. a polymer blend or modified silica, placed in the chromatographic column, is of interest in contrast to the common analytical gas chromatographic experiments. Carefully selected test solutes are injected into the flow of a carrier gas and transported over the surface of, e.g. fiber. The retention time and the peak elution profiles of Standard solutes, affected by interactions between the solute and stationary phase, are used to estimate those interactions.[2] IGC is an easy, fast and economic method to investigate liquid crystal-solvent interactions. Using IGC to study liquid crystal-solvent interactions is new method and there are only few study in literature. In IGC process, there is relevance between liquid crsytal-solvent interactions and specific retention volumes.[3] Thermodynamic parameters that obtained by using specific retention volume, use to explain liquid crystal-solvent interactions. In this study, thermodynamic interactions of 4-[4-((S)-Citronellyloxy ) benzoyloxy] benzoic acid with some solvents were examined by inverse gas chromatography method. Firstly, the specific retention volumes of the solvents were determined and the retention diagrams were plotted for liquid crystal-solvent systems. And then, the weight fraction activity coefficient, Flory-Huggins and equation of state interaction parameters, effective exchange energy parameter, exchange enthalpy and entropy parameters were calculated at the temperature range which thermodynamical equilibrium occurred.

Polymeric phthalocyanines are mainly prepared via polycyclotetramerization reactions of bifunctional monomers such as aromatic tetracarbonitriles, various oxy-, arylenedioxy- and alkylenedioxy-bridged diphthalonitriles, and other nitriles or tetracarboxylic acid derivatives in the presence of metal salts or metals. We report here, the synthesis and characterization of a new zinc containing polymeric phthalocyanine and its precursor. To understand the semiconducting and dielectric properties of polymeric zinc phthalocyanine, a systematic investigation on dc and ac electrical properties and their variation with temperature and frequency is attempted. Also, thermal properties of the polymeric zinc phthalocyanine is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] A. D. D. A. A.

As opposed to Hemoglobin (Hb) based potential artificial oxygen carriers, Hemerythrin (Hr) based blood substitutes haven’t been examined and described extensively and therefore might sound less familiar. My poster presentation aims to present investigations of this protein as raw material for artificial oxygen carriers. Hr is a protein found in marine invertebrates which binds oxygen reversibly by the use of a non-heme diiron center. It is a very promising alternative to Hb for blood substitutes because, in contrast to Hb, Hr has distinctly smaller reactivity towards oxidative and nitrosative stress agents and also shows a remarkably smaller tendency to generate toxic free radicals in such reactions. In laboratory, the protein was obtained through overexpression and purification of recombinant Phascolopsis Gouldii Hr from Escherichia coli strains.[1] Strategies for conversion of Hr into an effective blood substitute typically involved: i.) PEGylation of the protein surface (wild type and site directed mutagens) primarily in order to decrease immunogenicity; ii.) glutaraldehyde-assisted polymerization and copolymerization (with Human Serum Albumin and the non-heme iron peroxidase Rubrerythrin) which resulted in high molecular weight aggregates.[2] Characterization of the derivatives such as hydrodynamic volume or dioxygen reactivity (oxygen affinity, autooxidation rate) was mainly accomplished using size exclusion chromatographic and spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis and EPR). As well, aspects related to biological activity have already been investigated. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity assessments on human lymphocytes and HUVEC cells suggest that in comparison to Hb derivatives, Hr-based blood substitutes have a better performance and show a cytoprotective effect.[3] [1] C.S.

They are used for example in the construction industry, in electrical engineering, transport, as well as in furniture and textiles. A major problem with the use of polymers, however, is their high flammability due to their carbon skeleton. Depending on the application high fire safety requirements are imposed. Often native polymers can not fulfill this. Hence the equipment of polymers with flame retardants represents a necessary step to reduce fire damage. Most of the flame retardants used up to now, however, show two main problems: Firstly, mainly halogenated materials are used today as flame retardants will be prohibited in the next few years due to an increasing concern about persistence in the environment and potential negative health effects of these materials. Secondly, until now most of the flame retardants are incorporated into the polymer as additives to achieve the protection of organic material. A drawback of this method is the emission of potential environmental harmful substances from the polymer over time. By binding organo phosphorus compounds covalently to the polymer backbone, no emission of flame retardant from the polymer over time can occur. These so-called reactive flame retardants are homogeneously distributed in the polymer, whereby an agglomeration of the flame retardant component is prevented in the polymer. To gain reproducible results, the applied polymers have to possess narrow polydispersities and functional groups in the side chain. Living/controlled polymerization techniques like the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) give access to excellent control over molecular weight of polymers while being tolerant to a wide list of functional groups.[1] Therefore it is possible to prepare well-defined polymers containing functional groups in the side chains that can subsequently be modified further, e.g. to functional groups that can be used for click reactions. Subsequently functional compounds can be integrated in these polymers by covalent linkages to the side chains of the polymer. By linking functionalized compounds to appropriate functionalized polymers via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition described by Huisgen[2] a wide range of variable polymers can be designed. In this work, various phosphorylated polymers were prepared via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and analyzed via comprehensive thermal analysis to achieve insight into the characteristics of phosphorylated polymers. The focus was on the determination of the influence of the chemical structure of the phosphorus esters on the thermal degradation behavior and the formation of a char layer. It could be shown that even with a small amount of <5 % of phosphorus in the polymer, high carbonization of > 30 % can be achieved. [1] C.

Apart, technologies as wire bonding or stud bump soldering start displaying limitations when it comes to high performance three-dimensional packaging with a conventional demand to device reliability. This shows the necessity of new strategies being investigated for electronic packaging. Herein, nanomaterials are considered as promising candidates since they are expected to provide new, possibly attractive properties for solving upcoming problems in electronic packaging. We present investigations on electrochemical synthesis and characterization of templateassisted electrochemical growth of one-dimensionally elongated metal (Ag, Ni) nanoparticles. The generated arrays are objected to be applied as macroscopic interconnecting layers with anisotropic electrical conductivity and sub-µm resolution in the vertical interconnection of microelectronic chips (Flip-chip architectures or 3D chip stacks). Metal nanowires (NWs) are synthesized by electrodepositing the desired NW species into hollow linear pores of anodized Al2 O3 . Geometric features as well as surface chemistry of Al2 O3 is thereby variable within a decent range and allows the geometrical tuning of the NWs. The regular lateral arrangement of pores enables a homogeneous NW distribution (and thereby a homogeneous transportable current density through the film) as well as a very small diameter range. For the integration of such NW arrays between microelectronic contact structures, the generation of a reliable contact between contact pad surface and NW is a crucial point. We propose the utilization of a thin additional adhesive film surrounding freestanding NW tips on both sides of the film to generate a self-adhesive NW film that can easily be laminated between two microelectronic chips. The bonding between film and chip is so realized at the top edge of the pores. Therefore we apply a very strongly binding polymer (poly cyanurate) being able to establish a covalent bond structure to Si/SiO2 surfaces. In this contribution we focus on the creation process of NWs and the interferences between synthesis and properties (such as electrical conductivity or crystallinity). 72 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 015 Clarification of the sorption behavior of uranium onto mica and feldspar Constanze Richter , Madlen Stockmann, Vinzenz Brendler, Kay Großmann Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V. – Institute of Resource Ecology – P.O.Box 51 01 19, 01314 Dresden – Dresden – GER [email protected] As part of long-term safety assessments for radioactive waste disposals, scenarios have to be considered, which lead to the mobilization of radionuclides from the waste and to their transport through the repository system. Any repository sites (such as Gorleben) the sedimentary overburden is an important barrier for radionuclide transport. For most radionuclides the transport is retarded by sorption on mineral phases. Mica and feldspars are major components of the Gorleben sediments. However, almost no sorption parameters are available (www.hzdr.de/res3 t [1] ) for these systems. The WEIMAR-project (Further Development of the Smart Kd-Concept for LongTerm Safety Assessment) shall address these shortcomings. Batch sorption experiments and spectroscopic investigations will allow the assessment, the evaluation as well as the processing of sorption data for U, Np, La(III) onto muscovite and orthoclase. Generally, the amount of sorption can depend on the pH-value, ionic strength, redox potential, concentrations of the contaminant as well as of the sorbent, of complexing ligands and competing ions. All batch experiments are carried out under ambient atmosphere and with 0.01 M NaClO4 as background electrolyte. For muscovite and orthoclase the background concentration of the sorbing elements, the tendency of wall sorption and the dissolution behavior has to be determined. For both minerals an optimal solid-to liquid ratio has to be optimized. This means that the sorption is neither too low nor too high, so the sorption has to be between 5 and 95%. All those problems will be illustrated for the case of U(VI) sorption. This project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) under contract number 02 E 11072B [1] V. Brendler et al., J. Cont. Hydrol. 2003, 61, 281-291.

Recently, the use of carbon dioxide or bicarbonate as suitable storage materials for hydrogen has received considerable attention. As a significant advantage this cycle is reversible and sustainable. The liquid formic acid affiliates high hydrogen content (4.4% by mass) with a good stability. A cycle comprising of the storage of hydrogen in formic acid or formate salts by catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide or bicarbonate and the release from it by catalytic dehydrogenation could be realized. We have recently demonstrated for the first time that both reactions can be coupled leading to a closed carbon cycle for hydrogen storage applying a ruthenium-based catalyst system for the selective hydrogenation of bicarbonates as well as the selective dehydrogenation of formats.[1] Further we could show a setup of a “hydrogen-battery” based on hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid and its dehydrogenation back to CO2 .[2] For the latter reaction in a continuous flow setup turnover numbers and turnover frequencies are achieved, which meet already the requirements of hydrogen supply for applications in the 100 W range. Moreover besides the ruthenium based systems both reactions, hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, can also be catalyzed by more abundant iron catalysts.[3] Figure 1: Energy cycle with hydrogen production, storage and usage.

Kirkwood Av. – Bloomington – USA [email protected] Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely studied because of their potential applications in magnetic storage media, electronic devices, ferrofluids, biosensors, contrast enhancement agents for magnetic resonance imaging, bioprobes, and catalysis. The last application, i.e. magnetically recoverable catalysts, attracted considerable attention because they allow easy separation of catalysts from reaction mixtures and their repeated use, thus leading to energy conservation, more environmentally friendly processes and cheaper target products. As is known, iron oxide NPs are well stabilized by fatty acids, such as oleic acid, containing a single double bond, but normally more functional groups are required if catalytic complexes or NPs have to be formed in the magnetic NP shell.[1] Here we report functionalization of iron oxide NPs prepared by thermal decomposition of iron acetyl acetonate in the presence of the second and third generations of rigid aromatic dendrons bearing the pyridine moieties and carboxyl focal point. Functionalization of as-synthesized magnetic NPs was followed using transmission electron microscopy including HRTEM, energy dispersive spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Also the way of Eu3+ excitation require a cooperative energy transfer (CET)[2] between Yb3+ acting as donors and Eu3+ acceptors, which is highly dependent on both the properties of the matrix used ions. To increase the intensity of Eu3+ UC we have used Tb3+ ions as co-dopants involved in the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Eu3+ . By changing the Tb3+ to Eu3+ molar ratio it was possible to tune the color of emission from green in Tb3+ -only doped system through yellow, orange and red with increasing concentration of Eu3+ ions in this system. Lanthanum phosphate is a good candidate for CET systems and has been used as host for dopants ions. Nanomaterials were prepared by a microwave assisted hydrothermal method in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Obtained products showed UC emission only after their heating at 900o C what resulted in change of crystallographic structure from hexagonal to monoclinic and the removal of all water from the system. Also morphology was changed in this way. Nanorods were transformed into spherical-shaped nanocrystals with average sizes around 50 nm. The synthesized nanomaterials were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Spectroscopic properties were determined from excitation and emission spectra. Measured luminescence decays showed the energy transfer processes that occurred. The mechanism lying behind the observed spectroscopic properties was proposed.

It was known that first composite plastics were produced by using glass fiber and unsaturated polyester resins in 1940.[1] Nowadays, researchers have been performing studies on especially mechanical properties of unsaturated polyester based composites that contain different additives and fillers. However, most researches were based on only one kind of additive or filler.[2,3] It was not general that comparing mechanical properties caused by different fillers and additives in the same study. Thus, in this study our aim is to compare the effects of different additives and fillers on mechanical properties. A serie of polyester composites which contain different additives and fillers were prepared and their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, charpy and flexural strength were evaluated and compared. In this study we used different fillers and additives such as calsium carbonate, nanoclay, carbon fiber and SBR rubber. SBR rubber dried in oven (50◦ C) prior to use. Also we have investigated the effect of different fillings and additives mixtures on mechanical properties of samples prepared. The samples were prepared by using same mold.

Some of the application require water based colloids while the other ones organic. The simple and reproducible method for obtaining organic colloids is a phase-transfer of AuNPs from water solution to nonpolar solvent. In order to transfer nanoparticles to organic media it is necessary to use a modifier – a compound that physically or chemically binds to the AuNPs surface. It’s role is to provide stabilization of the nanoparticles in the organic phase. Moreover, this technique allows to use well-characterized nanoparticles, various modifiers (e.g. thiol, alkylamines, carboxy acids, dithiophosphoric acids) and solvents (e.g. hexane, toluene, chloroform, dichlorobenzene). In this presentation the main idea of phase-transfer method will be shown. The size, size distribution and stability of gold nanoparticles in organic media were tested by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to determinate the efficiency of described method. By the use a phase-transfer method it is possible to obtain AuNPs in organic solvents. Nanoparticles in organic media can be used as ink component for printing electronics or spin coated layers.

Sulka, Marian Jaskuła Faculty of Chemistry, Department of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry – Jagiellonian University – Ingardena 3 – 30-060 Kraków – POL [email protected] Nowadays, nanotechnology is interdisciplinary branch of sciences, which develops rapidly and intensively. Among all new nanomaterials, enormous efforts have been devoted to titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) especially in nanoporous/nanotubular forms due to a successful combination of functional chemical and physical properties with a well controllable nanoarchitecture, which make its one of the most important material highly desirable for diverse applications. Titanium dioxide it is now the subject of intensive studies because of its potential and promise usefulness in bone growth and regeneration, environmental applications, solar cells, catalysis, lithium insertion and extraction, dielectrics, optoelectronics and sensors. Taking into the above mentioned importance of this nanostructured material, fabrication of titanium dioxide on a nanometer size scale has fundamental and practical importance and, therefore these materials have gained a lot of attention of the scientific community.[1] It is well known that among all synthetic procedures, anodic oxidation is an excellent approach to fabricate TiO2 nanopore arrays due to its simplicity, low cost, self-ordering process and facility of morphology control. Under the right conditions, this technique leads to highly ordered nanopore or nanotubube arrays. A typical nanostructured anodic titania film, fabricated in this way, exhibits close-packed array of hexagonally arranged tubes or cells containing pores in each cell center.[2] A particular advantage for many further purposes is that grown oxide layers formed via electrochemical anodization can be directly used as nanostructured electrodes. Multi-sectional anodic titanium dioxide, consisting of alternating bamboo-shaped and smooth-walled sections, different from the typical nanopore/nanotube arrays, could be obtained by changing the anodization potential during the pore growth process. In this work we report multi-sectional TiO2 nanopore arrays with bamboo-like features fabricated by pulse anodization (PA) carried out under specific alternating-voltage conditions. The anodic oxide layers with a structural modulation of pores were formed by the two-step electrochemical anodization at room temperture in an ethylene glycol solution containing NH4 F (0.38 wt%) and H2 O (1.79 wt%). It is expected that these novel nanostructured architectures with a higher surface area, compared to the typical TiO2 nanopore/nanotube arrays, could have various applications in the area of energy conversion and storage.

The technique is based on spraying of liquid, controlled by electrical forces. An important feature and advantage of this method is that the evaporation of solvent is very quick that it is possible to deposit particles in dry conditions. It can be extremely important when solvents can cause damage of the structure of a solid substrate. The surface density of nanoparticles on the sample can be controlled by changing different electrospraying parameters e.g. flow rate, time, voltage, distance between a nozzle and substrate, operation mode (single jet/ multi jet), nanoparticles concentration and a solvent system in sprayed solution The influence of these parameters on the coverage of AuNP on the sample coverage was investigated. By the use of electrospray deposition method it is possible to obtain sample coverage up to 90 percent and even more (multiple layer) if it will be necessary. Deposited in this way AuNP can be used in a wide range of application such as electronics, biomedicine, optics, optoelectronics and catalyze.

Sulka, Marian Jaskuła Department of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry – Jagiellonian University – Ingardena 3 – Krakow – POL [email protected] Nanoelectrochemistry is a relatively new branch of science that combines broad spectrum of fast and inexpensive, highly selective and sensitive electrochemical research with a fabrication and testing of nanomaterials. A rapid development of nanoelectrochemistry is a consequence of a faster transfer of electrons between the electrode based on nanomaterials and test substances (faster current response), and a high surface to volume ratio of nanomaterials that increases the sensitivity of chemical sensors (lower detection and determination limits than those achieved for sensors based on bulk materials). The development of nanotechnology requires fabrication of novel nanomaterials and miniaturization of devices, that is particularly important in application areas such as bioanalysis and medicine, where a small size, high diagnostic device sensitivity and selectivity are highly desirable features. This research was focused on optimization of fabricating method used for the synthesis of a non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor based on silver nanowire arrays for determination of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of interfering substances. Such sensors are characterized by a low determination limit, rapid current response, high sensitivity, high selectivity and long-term stability. In real systems such as human blood, a determined substance is usually accompanied by a very diverse mixture of chemical compounds, which often disturb significantly a signal of the electrochemical sensor. We believe that the fabricated hydrogen peroxide sensors based on silver nanowire arrays or nanoporous thin films will be insensitive to interfering substances. Moreover, they can accurate determine the actual concentration of H2O2 in test samples and allow to control the appropriate level of blood glucose in test patients. The nanostructured electrochemical H2 O2 sensors were prepared by cathodic electrodeposition of silver inside the nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The AAO templates were synthesized via a simple and cost-effective two-step anodization of aluminum. After suitable treatment, free standing silver nanowire arrays were obtained and investigated as amperometric sensors for the detection and determination of hydrogen peroxide. Typical electrochemical techniques, including cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were applied for examination of nanostructured sensors. The CV tests were used to select an appropriate potential for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The chronoamperometric measurements carried out in a phosphate buffer solution were used to study the response of electrochemical sensors to different concentrations of H2 O2 . The effects of the temperature, pH, volume of added portions, concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a single portion and the time interval between successive adding portions were studied.

POIG.02.01.0012-023/08). 84 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 027 Enzymatic regulation of adhesive functions of peptide-polymer conjugates Maria Meißler ∗ , Andreas Taden† , Hans G. Börner∗ Department of Chemistry, Laboratory for Organic Synthesis of Functional Systems – Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin – Brook-Taylor-Str. 2 – Berlin – GER † Adhesive Technologies – Henkel AG und Co.KG aA – Henkelstr. 67 – Düsseldorf – GER ∗ [email protected] Functional peptide-polymer conjugates are of great importance in material science. Combination of peptides that bind specific inorganic surfaces with synthetic polymers results in bioconjugates for a broad scope of industrial applications. Furthermore, it is of peculiar interest to control and regulate the adhesive process of the bioconjugates on the surface. A possibility of enzyme-activated peptide-polymer conjugates could be presented already, whereas Tyrosinase is used to “switch on” adhesive functions of a mussel-glue derived peptide segment, leading to bioconjugates that adhere to steel.[1] Herein, we present an approach for the specific suppression of adhesive functions of bioconjugates on inorganic surfaces. Synthesis of peptide-PEO conjugates containing a known metal binding peptide sequence leads to an efficient coating of a specific material, which can be measured with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Introduction of a designed domain into the system results in negation of the adhesive process by interference with the active binding site (Figure 1). Enzymatic treatment “switches on” the binding domain and therefore recovers the adhesive properties of the peptide-polymer conjugates.

Poster 028 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 85 About nano- magnetic- photopolimerized microvessels in controlled drug delivery Adam Budniak , Maciej Mazur Faculty of Chemistry – University of Warsaw – Pasteura 1 – Warsaw – POL [email protected] The possibility of delivery medication just to specific, diseased tissue would be a great change in medicine, especially for treatment of cancer. It would not only enable to limit intoxication of organism and improve effectiveness of therapy, but it also ease to use well-known, strong drugs, which are too noxious to arrange them in great scale. The way to solve this problem could be the encapsulation of medicine by neutral to health polymer in order to decrease the initial contact of patient with the cure. For specific directing drug-carrier, it is crucial to modify it and as the result enable to affect with external magnetic field. At the end, microvessels must be opened in special way, harmless for patient. During the presentation, there will be introduced the method of synthesis of pollypyrole microvessels[1] with adsorbed magnetic nanoparticles[2] and exemplary way for selective release of medicine. The author will also present advantages of application of photopolymerization method in comparison to chemical synthesis with use of template.[3] Fig. 1.

It is metal free technique which enable effective polymerization of a broad range of monomers with control of molecular weight and structure of polymers. Amphiphilic polyelectrolytes attract attention due to their wide range of practical applications resulting from the presence of hydrophilic groups which make them soluble in water and chromophores which make them photoactive. To reduce the contact of hydrophobic with hydrophilic medium, polymer spontaneously aggregates in aqueous solution forming domains consisted of packed chromophores in which poorly soluble organic compounds can be solubilized. It makes such systems can be used as nanocontainers or nanoreactors. For applications of the copolymer it is important to have stable core of the micelle. It is believed that the core is better stabilized by many short arms than by one long block of chromophores. Novel amphiphilic polymers were synthesized via nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerization using 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxy (HTEMPO) free radical. The polymers dissolved in water self-assembly forming hydrophobic domains, which consist of highly packed hydrophobic arms. Presented results include characterization of such aggregates.

As a member of the ring containing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen thiazolidinone derivative compounds are gaining importance due to antifungal, antitubercular, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities.[1-3] Therefore, in this case, the synthesis of such compounds is extremely important. At the same time, the biologically active compounds very useful in the identification and optimization of the multicomponent reaction type is provided significant improvements in the discovery of pharmaceutical products using.[4] Therefore, the study was initiated, may be considered to possess biological activity, a new aryl substituted iminothiazolidinone derivatives; thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, aryl thiourea, and chloroacetic acid are obtained using the multicomponent reaction method,[5] structures of all compounds is illuminated with spectral data: Thanks for Yıldız Technical University Scientific Research Projects Coordination’s support in this study.

The diseases of cornea each year affect 15 million people worldwide according to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates and are often sight-threatening. At present, the only generally accepted therapy is the transplantation of the cornea from human donors. However, this treatment has several drawbacks. The main one is limited number of human donors therefore the science is looking for some alternatives. Regeneration of epidermal tissue can restore and life-save cornea. Corneal tissue is usually cultured on human amniotic membrane (AM).[1] The supports obtained from AM show good properties, however, AM is difficult to obtain, expensive, and therefore cannot be used on a large scale. The new hybrid organic - inorganic materials used to synthesize the supports are natural polymers, with chitosan as the main component crosslinked with genipin and EG Dundecyl ). Finding by the addition of collagen and new silicone surfactant (DAP 2 2 an alternative support for culturing corneal cells would be a great breakthrough in the surgery of the cornea and would certainly result in an increased number of sight-saving surgeries performed.

Silver particle monolayers also find practical applications in medicine, biology, pharmacology and catalysis, in surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) [1,2]. Stable silver nanoparticle sol was synthesized by the reduction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride and sodium citrate. Characterization of this sol involved the extinction spectrum and solid weight content. Electrophoretic mobilities and the diffusion coefficient (hydrodynamic diameter) of particles were also measured using the dynamic light scattering - DLS. It was determined that the hydrodynamic diameter of particles was constant and equal to 11 nm for ionic strengths in the range of 10−5 M NaCl to 3 x 10−2 M NaCl (for pH=5.5), confirming a high stability of the sol. On the other hand, the zeta potential of particles (calculated using the Henry’s model) varied between -48 mV for 10−5 M to -39 mV for ionic strength of 3·10−2 M NaCl and the same pH. Additionally, the UV-Vis method was used to study the stability of the silver particle sol as a function of its bulk concentration. Particle shape and size distribution were also measured by the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Using these methods the kinetics of particle adsorption on mica and silicon modified by cationic polyelectrolyte: poly(allylamine hydrochloride) - PAH was quantitatively evaluated. The influence of the ionic strengths and the sol concentration was systematically studied. The kinetic runs obtained in these measurements were adequately reflected for the entire range of times and bulk concentration by the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model. [1] [2] 90 M.

Various side chains were attached to the mesogenic core. Despite a triangular molecular shape, almost all synthesised coupounds exhibit a liquid crystalline hexagonal disordered columnar phase (Colh) with high clearing temperature. The ability to create the columnar phase is propably connected with the permanent dipole moment appearing in the non-symmetric molecules and dipole-dipole interactions between molecules in columns.

The utilization of this latter activation method leads to functionalized structures with high synthetic value.[2] We have recently reported a convenient strategy for the synthesis of chiral nonracemic N -Cbz protected propargylic amines 1 by the addition of terminal alkynes to imines generated in situ from α -amidosulfones catalyzed by diethylzinc and a BINOL-type ligand.[3] The electrophilic activation of the triple bond in this kind of compounds 1 followed by the intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the carbamate group should allow the synthesis of highly functionalized cyclic structures. A 6-endo cyclization process should lead to oxazinone moieties, a very important type of scaffold present in a great variety of biologically active compounds.[4] Despite the increased attention on these 6-membered ring heterocyclic structures, only a few synthetic strategies have been developed.[5] In this communication, we present the regioselective electrophilic cyclization of N -Cbz protected propargylic amines 1 to afford highly functionalized 3,4-dihydro-2H -1,3oxazin-2-ones 2 which are suitable starting materials for further desirable reactions.

Unfortunately, the resolution and sensitivity of this technique are quite low, so that contrast agents are necessary to improve the results of MRI.[1] Quite promising results as new contrast agents for MRI give gadolinium oxide nanoparticles, which could be an alternative to today clinically mainly used gadolinium chelates.[2] These nanoparticles could give a higher contrast because of their higher ion concentration and provide superior possibilities for functionalization.[3] In the present study a simple synthetic route for the preparation of oleate capped gadolinium oxide nanocrystals was developed. This synthesis is based on the thermal decomposition of a metal oleate precursor in a high boiling solvent, which is already well established for the preparation of many other metal oxide nanoparticles.[4] Accordingly, a gadolinium oleate precursor was decomposed in octadecene or alternatively in trioctylamine at 320◦ C or 350◦ C to yield 2.5 nm to 3.5 nm diameter spherical gadolinium oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). By using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurements show that the particles are highly crystalline. The surface functionalization with the capping agent oleate was verified by IR spectroscopy. This simple preparation method for highly stable gadolinium oxide nanoparticles provides a wide scope for further surface modifications by ligand exchange reactions as well as the opportunity for doping the inorganic core with other rare metal ions providing an additional fluorescence function.

Box 937, 50-442 Wroclaw – Wroclaw – POL ∗ [email protected] Up-conversion is one of the most investigated phenomenon in lanthanide doped nanomaterials. Luminescent properties of lanthanide ions (Ln3+ ) are the result of energy transfer (ET) processes between them. Lanthanide ions may convert energy from the ultraviolet range to the visible light (down-conversion). However, reversed process is also possible, where absorbed light from the near-infrared range is converted into visible wavelengths due to up-conversion. Up-conversion (UC) it is a phenomenon in which the sequential absorption of two or more photons leads to the emission of light at shorter wavelengths than the excitation wavelength (anti-Stokes type emission)[1] In recent years, UC was intensively studied in nanocrystalline systems.[2,3] They have a high potential for industrial and biological applications, e.g. can be used as biological assays.[4,5] Rare earth (RE = Y, La or Gd) phosphates are especially interesting for bioapplications and as hosts for luminescent Ln3+ ions because of their relatively high biocompatibility. Also up-conversion in this systems could be effective.[6] REPO4 nanocrystals doped with Yb3+ /Er3+ , Yb3+ /Tm3+ and Yb3+ /Tb3+ ions were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The best reaction conditions, in order to obtain small size of the crystals, were estimated and glycerin solution was used as the reaction medium. The result of this reaction ware nanocrystals composed from nanorods with thickness up to 10 nm and length around 500 nm. Measured excitation and emission spectra as well as luminescence decays were base for spectroscopic studies and were used to investigate energy transfer processes. Structural and morphological properties were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Synthesized nanomaterials showed bright yellow (Yb3+ /Er3+ ), blue (Yb3+ /Tm3+ ) and green (Yb3+ /Tb3+ ) up-conversion emission.

Due to that there is a very great interest of formation of flexible coatings for that microcapsules. For that purpose the great material are polysiloxanes because of their biocompability and very high flexibility of the chains. Their water-soluble properties also cause that these polymers are very well suited for that purpose. . This work presents the polysiloxane film formation on model surfaces obtained by Electrostatic Self-Assembly “layer-by-layer” method and its characterization. Atomic Force Microscopy and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry were used to determine dependence of the film thickness from the number of bilayers. In addition the impact on film topography of different types of rising, namely stream of the water and sonication, was observed. The films will be further used as functional coatings for photochemical applications.

In this case no additives are needed to reach the shape selectivety. The seed dependence of the growth, as well as the ripening kinetics, give the full procedure control. This method pursues former results for shape selective growth in particle dimensions[1] and proposses a more detailed mechanistic model[2] than before. The experiments were evaluated for reagent concentrations between 10−3 and 10−2 mol/l and in a reaction time window from 30 minutes to 3 days with ESEM, FESEM, AFM and XRD. We show that the shape selective production of silver particles in this set up is possible and give a detailed machanistic propose.

Admittedly, the largest health risk is related with presence of this mineral in the air, but other elements of environment, e.g. soil or water, could be also contaminated with asbestos fibers and cause secondary fibers emission into atmosphere and exposure. [2] Asbestos analyses, practically limited only to air samples, base mainly on obsolete methods and the new solutions, especially for liquid and soil samples despite the market requirements, aren’t sufficiently developed. Asbestos contamination in soil could be the result of precipitation with fibers from the air, elution from asbestos-cement materials for example roof sheets, from debris during removal work and asbestos-waste disposal. For confirmation of correctness of executed work and safety for people health is required the environmental monitoring.[3] Results of analyses are also important by administrative decisions regarding the sites. The elaborated method[4] enables the asbestos determination in soil and liquid samples with use the phase contrast optical microscope. This is a relatively fast and easy and not expensive analysis. The suitable sample preparation, all asbestos characteristics considered, assures increasing of investigations.[5] We would like to present the study of asbestos separation from soil samples, which have a very complex matrix and findings for quantitative asbestos determination by phase contrast microscopy. With use the proposed method since 2009 the environmental monitoring of area next to farm building with asbestos cement roof is made and the results would be the part of the presentation.

Certainly, one of the major factors is traffic pollution. Term traffic pollution refers mostly to the form of air pollution coming from vehicles. Several studies have confirmed link between pollution and plants metabolism, which means changes in production of certain compounds by permanently exposure to pollutants. The aim of the present research study was examination of antioxidant activity, total phenol and total flavonoid content in plants from two localities: near main road (polluted environment, Sicevacka gorge, route Nis-Sofia) and natural environmental (Ploce, unpolluted nearby area). The plant species: Anthemis tinctoria, Stenactis annua, Crepis foetida and Artemisia vulgaris were the most abundant in polluted area, recognized as remedies in traditional medicine and therefore have become the subject of the study. In estimation of antioxidant characteristics, DPPH and ABTS assays (based on free radical scavenging) and Total reducing power of ferrous to ferri ion were used (TRP). Determination of total phenols was performed by FolinCiocalteau assay, and determination of total flavonoids was based on usage of AlCl3 which forms colored complexes with flavonoids. Investigated methanol extracts were obtained by ultrasonic extractions. The results which expressed ability of samples to scavenge DPPH radical (EC50 values) and ABTS radical cation (Trolox equvalents) are very similar; extract samples from polluted area, showed higher activity except for C. foetida against DPPH, where the reverse dependence was registered. In regard to TRP, higher values for samples from polluted area in comparison to those from natural environmental were obtained. Contents of phenols and flavonoids were higher in plants which grew near magistral road. Surprisingly, obtained results showed that plants in potentially polluted environment possessed higher antioxidant activity and higher flavonoids and phenols content.

There are three main reasons contributing into their high toxicity in living organisms: 1) high affinity for thiol-, histydyl-, amino- and carboxyl groups of amino acid residues in proteins (changes in structural and catalytic properties of proteins), 2) effect on the antioxidant potential of cells - a reduced level of glutathione can ultimately produce oxidative stress, 3) their competing with metal cations of active sites of proteins, what leads to inhibition or modification of a protein activity. The main objective of the study was to investigate changes in the activity and expression of γ-cystathionase (CST) and sulfurtransferase 3-mercaptopyruvate (MPST), enzymes participating in the non-oxidative metabolism of cysteine, and the expression of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase in hearts of frogs - Pelophylax ridibundus exposed to lead (28 mg Pb/l;10 days) and cadmium (40 and 80 mg Cd/l; 4 or 10 days) and Xenopus laevis (X. tropicalis) exposed to mercury (1.353 mg Hg/l; 7, 10 or 14 days). The results confirmed changes in the expression of genes encoding for CST and MPST in the heart. An increased expression of the CST gene was observed in hearts of frogs exposed to mercury ions, while lead and cadmium ions had no effect and the expression was comparable to that seen in the control group. The expression of the MPST gene in the heart was decreased in response to exposure to all of the investigated ions. Furthermore, changes in expression were correlated with a decrease in MPST specific activity accompanied by a decrease in the level of sulfane sulfur. The exposition to cadmium and lead ions resulted in the increase in the content of total glutathione and the ratio of GSH/GSSG in the heart. These effects all together suggest that cysteine is directed to the synthesis of glutathione and is less readily available for the production of sulfane sulfur through the MPST-dependent pathway. It was also observed that the expression of gene for the cytosolic superoxide dismutase was increased after the exposure to the investigated ions, possibly in response to an elevated level of reactive oxygen species.

Lütfi Ugur, Ibrahim Erden Chemistry – Yildiz Technical University – Davutpasa Campus – Istanbul – TUR [email protected] Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are remarkable macrocyclic compounds having magnificent physical and chemical properties. They are usually synthesized starting from the appropriate phthalonitriles and their derivatives or their substitution yield as metalfree phthalociyanine and metallophthalocyanines which obtained especially in high temperatures with the presence of a suitable anhydrous metal salt.[1,2] Metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) have potential applications in many areas such as in medicinal and material science.[3,4] MPcs enjoy usage in printing inks, catalysis, display devices, data storage, chemical sensors, gas sensors, solar cells, organic light emitting devices (OLED), PDT and photonic devices.[5,6] In this study, we report the synthesis, characterization of different substituted zinc phthalocyanines. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectra. The effect of fluorine, bromine and chlorine substitituents on photophysical and photochemical properties were reported. The singlet oxygen, photodegradation, fluorescence quantum yield, triplet quantum yield and triplet life time of the complexes in DMF, THF, DMSO were determined. Fluorescence quantum yields for the complexes ranged from 0.19 to 0.30. [1] C.C. Leznoff, A.B.P. Lever (Eds.), Phthalocyanines -Properties and Applications, vols. 1-4, VCH, New York, 1989-1996.

This causes diseases such as Pierce’s disease or citrus variegated chlorisis (CVC).[1] Substantial economic losses of annually exceeding $ 100 million for the citrus industry may be attributed to Xylella fastidiosa. As an important step toward fully understanding this bacterium, the genome of Xylella fastidiosa has recently been sequenced in part by our collaborators.[2] Yet, the molecular mechanisms involved in colonization of the xylem by this phytopathogen, and in particular the involved biofilm formation remain little understood. A vested interest in the role of biomolecules during biofilm formation is not only limited to agricultural aspects. Considering that biofilms play an important role for many bacterial-caused diseases, the relevance of investigating the adsorption and colonization of bacteria at surfaces, and the associated biofilm formation with respect to the involved proteins and biomolecules is evident.[3-5] For this purpose disulfide bonds play an important role for the formation of biofilms.[6] In the present study, spectroscopic techniques were used to investigate the chemical and structural properties of the biomolecules involved in Xf biofilm formation. Spectroscopic techniques and in particular infrared attenuated total reflection (IRATR) spectroscopy were used to characterize in detail the growth media of Xf and its molecular components. On the basis of the characterization of the media, a better understanding on the formation of biofilms by Xf and the molecular components may be derived. Experimental and analytical procedures will be accompanied by first results on the characterization of growth media with IR-ATR spectroscopy and complementary spectroscopic techniques. [1] A. H.

Only the synthesis of two diselenooxalato complexes, bis(benzyltriphenylphosphonium)bis(1,2diselenooxalato)metallate(II) (M = Ni, Cu), and the structure of the Ni-complex as well as the preparation of the diselenooxalato ligand in form of the potassium salt have been published yet.[2,3] Here we present new complexes of the [cation]2 [Ni(dso)2 ] type, as well as the related diselenosquarato analogs, and their structures (Fig. 1). The paramagnetic copper(II) complexes (S = 1/2, I = 3/2) are well-suited to be studied by EPR-spectroscopy. TG/DTA and XRD measurements will give information about the thermal behaviour of the complexes and their potential as possible precursors in material science.

Therefore, the challenge for scientists is to find cheap, efficient, environmental-friendly materials for removal of pollutants from industrial and communal/atmospheric wastewaters. In this study, methyl-sulfonated shell of Lagenaria vulgaris (msLVB) was investigated as a novel, low-cost biosorbent for the removal of copper from aqueous solutions with and without the assistance of ultrasound. Lagenaria vulgaris shell represents a lignocellulosic material with ability for binding metal cations due to presence of hydroxyl, carboxylic, lactonic and phenolic groups in its structure, while treatment with formaldehyde and sodium-sulphite was used to introduce sulphonic groups, known by significant ion-exchanging capacity. Sorption kinetics was investigated in batch conditions, using 125 mL of the solution with 50.0 mg L-1 of Cu(II) ions, 4.0 g L-1 of msLVB, at pH 5.0 and 25 o C. The experiments were performed using magnetic stirrer on 200 rpm or ultrasonic bath with the frequency of 40 kHz. The sorption was considerably increased in the presence of ultrasound (Fig. 1). The kinetic data fitted very well the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

In dying process, various dyes can be used such as acidic, reactive, basic, disperse, azo, diazo, antraquionone-based and metal complex dyes according to fabric types.[1] Basic dyes are cationic soluble salts of coloured bases. Basic dyes are applied to substrate with anionic character where electrostatic attractions are formed. Basic dyes are powerful colouring agents. It’s applied to polyacrylonitrile, modified nylons, modified polyesters, paper. They are generally water soluble.[2] In this study, treatment of basic dye (Basic Red 481) from local textile mill was investigated by different sulfonated polymers at different pHs.

Polizu Street – Bucharest – ROU [email protected] The presence of phenol and phenolic derivatives in water induces toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation in plant and animal organisms and is a risk factor for human health. In consequence, the identification and monitoring of these compounds detectable in drinking water and surface waters are imperative. Available technologies dealing with phenolic compounds include the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), based on the formation of very active hydroxyl radicals, which react quickly with the organic contaminant. AOPs present the advantage of completely removing organic contaminants from the environment, not only from the aqueous phase, by transforming them into other organic compounds with low toxicity and finally into innocuous inorganic species. The technologies for removing phenolic derivatives based on membranes and photocatalytic processes play an important role.[1] Among the AOPs, the photocatalytic process is one of the most attractive methods because the reagent components are easy to handle and non-toxic to the environment.[2] Separation membranes have become essential parts of human life because of their growing industrial applications in high technology such as biotechnology, nanotechnology and membrane based separation and purification.[3-5] This paper presents a hybrid method for an advanced removal of low biodegradable organic compounds from water, by combining the separation selectivity of membranes with the high oxidation efficiency of the photocatalytic process. The hybrid process for the disposal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solutions combines the selectivity of membranes with high efficiency and the photocatalytic process.

A single fiber is composed of two layers - hexagonal magnesium hydroxide layer and tetragonal silicalayer forming a “tube” with a diameter of 25-30 nm and a center channel with a diameter of about 5 nm. Chrysotile fibers are present in tightly packed bundles, but are bound together only by weak van der Waals interactions, and therefore can be readily separated by mechanical actions.[1] Chrysotile has specific optical properties which can be observed in Polarised Light Microscopy (PLM). It is a very simple method of identification of asbestos fibers. PLM allows, not only, to distinguish asbestos from other materials, but also the various types of asbestos from each other. Using liquid of known refractive index (for chrysotile nc = 1.55) can be seen optical properties such as: dispersion staining, pleochroism, birefringence, extinction, extinction angle and sign of elongation.[2] If the tested fibers do not display any of these characteristics can exclude presence of asbestos in the material. This study presents how extraction of magnesium from brucite layer has changed the optical properties of chrysotile asbestos. In the experiment were tested pure chrisotile fibers and chrysotile fibers after incubation with inorganic acids, organic acid and also with the addition of fluoride ions. [1] J.

Additionally the lack of adequate monitoring stations of this type of air pollution causes impossibility to estimation the risks and analysis of the situation. During the period from October 2011 to June 2012, PM10 concentrations were measured in the center of Poznan, at the crossroad of busy roads. The measurements took place in four series, each with a different time of year (fall, winter, spring, summer) and lasted seven days. Measurement time was 8 hours from 8 am to 16 pm. Sampling was carried out using portable real - time aerosol monitor the DustTrak II 8530. Additionally were measured meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind strength and direction using a weather station Oregon Scientific WMR 200th. During the measurements also identified the internal combustion car traffic passing through crossroad. Mean daytime concentration of PM 10 ranged from 17 µg/m3 to 421 µg/m3 . The study shows that the concentration of PM10 is strongly dependent on the weather and the number of vehicles. This shows how much the people of urban areas are exposed to the effects of dust, which in the long term negative impact on human health.

Arda Ozturkcan, Zuhal Turgut Department of Chemistry – Yildiz Technical University – Davutpasa Street – 34210 Esenler, Istanbul – TUR [email protected] Active oxygen heterocycles takes interest because they are an important class of natural compounds such as Mollugin and Nigrolinea benzopyranes which exhibiting a wide spectrum of pharmaceutical and biological properties such as antitumor and antibacterial activities.[1,2] Naphthapyranes are important biologically active heterocyclic compounds, which possess analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiviral, cytotoxic, anti-oxidative, and 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activities.[3-7] Ultrasonic-assisted organic synthesis (UAOS) as a green synthetic approach is a powerful technique that is being used more accelerates organic reactions.[8] UAOS can be highly effective and it is applicable to a wide range of practical reactions. In order to expand the application of ultrasound in the synthesis of heterocyclic compound, we wish to report a general, rapid, productive and environment-friendly method for the synthesis of naphthapyranes. Triflates are effective and recoverable homogeneous catalysts for the modern synthesis. Recently, rare earth metal triflates, a new type of Lewis acid, are broadly used in organic reactions due to their low toxicity, high stability, ease of handling, water tolerance, and recoverability from water. To the best of our knowledge, this study reports a new procedure for the synthesis of naphthapyranes using Cu(OTf)2 as a green catalyst under ultrasound irradiation. [1] S. Claessens, B.

Contamination of drinking water by chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons is particularly dangerous in view of their toxicity or even carcinogenic nature and hence efficient remediation technologies are highly desired. Indeed, the development of degradation technologies for water pollutants is an active area of research, and various methods are already known for the abatement of halogenated compounds.[1] The electrocatalytic reductive dehalogenation of organic halides has been extensively investigated as a technology for the detoxification and disposal of halogenated hydrocarbons in industrial effluents. In comparison to other reductive pathways such as chemical, catalytic, and photochemical dehalogenation this method appears as a very promising approach being intrinsically milder, more selective, and easier to run. However, the reduction of organic halides at the most commonly used cathodes occurs at very negative potentials, where a concomitant reduction of water might take place. Experimental evidence is presented that Ag exhibits a powerful electrocatalytic activity for the dehalogenation of polyhalogenated hydrocarbons to less, or non-halogenated hydrocarbons with positive shifts of the peak potentials as compared to glassy carbon.[2] The process of reduction C2 H4 Cl2 was investigated by cyclic voltammetry at glassy carbon and silver electrodes (bulk and nanowires in the form of nanobrushes) in H2 O, acetonitryle (ACN) and mixed H2 O/ACN with LiClO4 , tetraethylammonium perchlorate and tetrabutylammonium fluoride as a supporting electrolyte. Silver nanowire array have been successfully fabricated using anodic alumina oxide templates by a direct-current electrodeposition from a commercially available plating solution. The porous anodic alumina membranes were prepared by a two-step anodizing process. The morphology of samples was studied using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). To confirm the chemical composition of obtained Ag nanowires, the EDAX analysis was performed. In order to test the long-term stability of the silver nanowires, cyclic voltamperometry experiments were repeatedly carried out on the Ag-nanowire electrode, without renewal of Ag nanowires.

Hickey, Alexander Eychmüller Physikalische Chemie und Elektrochemie – TU Dresden – Bergstraße 66b – Dresden – GER [email protected] Scarcity of fossil fuels, a rising demand for power and a growing ecological sensitivity are only three of the reasons as to why renewable energy sources are of great interest. Photovoltaic devices have a huge potential but the level of efficiency is presently only about 25 % for epitaxial solar cells. In 1991 O’Regan and Grätzel published a new solar cell construction called a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC).[1] As the role of the dye is as the light harvesting component, semiconductor nanoparticles can be used in their stead giving rise to a quantum dot sensitised solar cell (QDSSC). Primarily compound semiconductors nanoparticles such as CdS, CdSe and PbS have been well investigated as possible sensitizer materials. Tin(II) sulfide (SnS) as a IV-VI semiconductor represents a material with high potential for photovoltaic applications, because of its good chemical stability under normal working conditions, high absorption coefficient (α > 104 cm-1) and position of a direct and indirect bandgap (1.09 and 1.3 eV respectively) in the wavelength range of interest for solar harvesters.[2] In this work SnS particles have been deposited onto a transparent conducting glass substrate (indium tin oxide, ITO) through the use of bifunctional organic compounds. The SnS-layers were then characterisized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), absorption spectroscopy and different voltammetric and amperometric methods under square wave modulated illumination.

There are natural uranium and thorium compounds (and their decay products) in rock formations, which can be released by geologic alteration or mining processes. As a consequence of energy production in nuclear power plants over the last decades, huge amounts of nuclear waste were produced. If this waste is not stored adequately, radionuclides can enter the geo- or biosphere. Studying the transport behaviour of these radioactive elements and their fission products is the key aspect of our research. Here, rocks and natural mineral phases as well as organic molecules as potential binding sites are objects of investigation. Both, NMR spectroscopic structure elucidation of environmentally relevant complexes of lanthanides, actinides and selenium as well as the verification of results obtained by other techniques in former studies, are the aims of this work. The study of large biomolecules such as proteins or humic acids is rather complicated. Therefore, compounds which are themselves potential complexing agents or at least possess structural similarities to larger molecules, are used as model substances, for instance glutathione (a tripeptide) or citrate. Different one- and two-dimensional solution and solid state NMR methods will be applied to dedicated systems, supplied by TRLFS, ATR FT-IR and EXAFS. Where possible, the radionuclides are supposed to be replaced by inactive analogues or isotopes. In the case of selenium[1] , the spin–1/2 nucleus of Se-77 is well suited to be directly observed by NMR spectroscopy.

Bösmann, P. Wasserscheid Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering – University Erlangen-Nuremberg – Egerlandstr. 3 – Erlangen – GER [email protected] Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) provide an efficient and convenient way for hydrogen storage and transportation.[1,2] LOHC compounds like N-ethylcarbazole (NEC) can be loaded with hydrogen by catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated bonds.[3] The originating energy-rich Dodecahydro-N-ethylcarbazole (H12-NEC) is liquid at ambient conditions and can be handled very similar to diesel fuel. When energy is demanded, the stored hydrogen is released in a catalytic dehydrogenation reaction while the energy-lean compound is regenerated (Figure 1). This LOHC approach is a promising technology for long-term storing local and temporary energy overproduction from regenerative sources. Within the context of the Bavarian Hydrogen Center the construction of a pilot plant for domestic energy supply is planned in order to demonstrate the functionality and potential of the hydrogen storage system. For the near-term realization of the project the usage of catalysts which are commercially available in large quantities is crucial. The screening of various commercial catalysts for efficient dehydrogenation of H12-NEC under relatively mild conditions is presented.

Calix[n]arenes are known as building blocks[2] in supramolecular chemistry and can be used as molecular scaffolds for the synthesis of more elaborated structures.

Bioorganic Chemistry – Ruhr-Universität Bochum – NC 2/172 Universitätsstrasse 150 – Bochum – GER [email protected] Chemical systems which have the ability of catalayzing their own formations by the product templates are defined as chemical self replicating systems. Effective self replicating systems without the aid of enzymes or external cofactors have attracted the scientists‘ attention both for their potentials of synthetic applications and understanding of the origin of life. To understand these systems several artificial ones have been demonstrated over the last two decades. The aims of these studies were to understand the efficiency of the systems and structural information transfer which are created during the reaction. With these concerns, fulvene and maleimide based self replicating Diels-Alder system mediated by the hydrogen bonding has been investigated with the help of kinetic NMR measurements. The high efficiency of the system has brought us to investigate the asymmetric version of the system. Different substituted maleimides have been used with this aim. The diastereomeric distribution of these reactions have showed some imbalances compared with the main reaction and this has brought us to reevaluate the main reaction. This study contains the reevaluation of fulvene and maleimide based self replicating Diels-Alder system with much more detailed NMR and HPLC analysis. The efficiency of the different diastereomers and their autocatalytic and cross-catalytic properties are still under investigation. 114 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 057 The influence of water molecule coordination to a metal ion on water hydrogen bonds Majda Misini ∗ , Jelena Andrić† , Dragan Ninković† , Milan Milovanović∗ , Snežana Zarić ∗ Department of Chemistry – University of Belgrade – Studentski trg 12-16 – Belgrade – SRB † Innovation center, Department of Chemistry – University of Belgrade – Studentski trg 12-16 – Belgrade – SRB ‡ ICTM – University of Belgrade – Njegoševa 12 – Belgrade – SRB Department of Chemistry – Texas A and M University – P.O. Box 23874 – Doha – QAT [email protected] Interactions of water molecules with ions, molecules and interfaces, have been intensively studied.[1] Pure liquid water has a very complex hydrogen bond network nature and this is still in the process of being clarified using spectroscopic techniques and computational methods.[2] In this work the influence of cation on water hydrogen bonds was studied by analyzing crystal structures from Cambridge Structural Database and by high level ab initio calculations.[3] The hydrogen bonds of the water molecules in the first hydration shell of the cation were compared with the hydrogen bonds of free water molecules. To the best of our knowledge this is the first work reporting on the strength of the hydrogen bonds of the first hydration shell of metal cations based on the data in the crystal structures from the CSD. The results of statistical analysis of data from CSD, show that the MLOH/O interactions have a larger tendency towards shorter H. . . O distances and linear orientations, which is typical of stronger hydrogen bonds. The results of calculation show that water coordination to a metal ion has a remarkable influence on hydrogen bonds. Positively charged complexes form quite strong hydrogen bonds, the hydrogen bond energy of [Zn(H2O)6]2+ complex with water molecule ([Zn(H2O)6]2+ ...OH2) is -21.89 kcal/mol, which is several times stronger than the hydrogen bond of non-coordinated water, -4.77 kcal/mol (HOH...OH2). Moreover, the hydrogen bond of the aqua ligand has a strong influence on the stability and coordination number of a complex. These results can be important for all the systems where a water molecule is in contact with metal cations, from biomolecules to materials. [1] G. R. Desiraju, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 2. R.

This system exemplifies the delicate equilibrium between solution and crystallization that defines the gel phase (Figure 1 B). Figure 1:A) Components of the new gelator liquid system.

These macromolecules belong to the sugar class compounds. They consist of 6-, 7- or 8- units of α-D(+) glucopyranoses which are connected by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in such a way that they form a truncated cone shape. The interior of the molecule is hydrophobic while the exterior has a hydrophilic character. Depending on the number of sugar particles, they are denoted α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrin.[1] In literature there are many papers about wide application of cyclodextrins. The extraordinary properties of these compounds, relative non-toxicity and low price give rise to great opportunities for using cyclodextrins in chemistry and numerous industries.[3] A special attention shouold be paid to their ability to form inclusion complexes. In our team, we focused on the determination of the binding constants and the basic thermodynamic functions of inclusion complexes of β-CD with the sodium salts of carboxylic acids using conductivity method.

In particular, the use of ligands as nucleobases resulting in the formation of metal-mediated base pairs offers the opportunity to modify the properties of these supramolecular assemblies. This is expected to lead to interesting applications in nanotechnology, e. g. in the areas of conductivity or magnetism.[1-4] 1,10-Phenanthroline and its derivatives are versatile ligands for a variety of transition metals.[5] Due to its planarity and aromaticity the use of this ligand in metal-mediated base pairs appears to be feasible. We report the synthesis of a novel building block of the ligand 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and its integration into a DNA oligonucleotide. Thereafter we refer to the interaction of this oligonucleotide with several metal ions especially regarding the thermal stability of the formed metal-mediated base pairs. [1] L. Zhang, A. E.

Under certain circumstances such membranes can form nanotubular structures. Nanotube formation requires highly ordered molecular packing and anisotropic intermolecular interactions. In our group a new lipophilic nucleoside 1 (figure 1, a) was synthesized which selfassembled in microtubes after mixing with a simple phospholipid.[1] The SEM image of such a microtubule reveals a straight structure with an almost uniform outer diameter of about 300 nm (figure 1, b). The tubes posses open ends and thus are interesting as potential carriers, e. g. for drugs. Our target was to synthesize new cholesteryl-nucleoside and nucleobase derivatives analogous to structure 1. In these compounds we varied chain length of the linker, point of attachment of cholesterol and additional derivatisation of hydroxyl groups. These variations give us the ability to study the effect of structural motifs on the ability to form microtubes by mixing with phospholipids. [1] P. Pescador, N. Brodersen, H. A. Scheidt, M. Loew, G.

Herein, we present the results on the interactions of pyridine–pyridine and pyridine–benzene molecules in the parallel orientation. We analyzed crystal structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and performed DFT calculations. A study of crystal structures from the CSD and DFT calculations revealed that parallel pyridine–pyridine interactions at large horizontal displacements (offsets) were preferred,[2] similar to parallel benzene–benzene interactions.[1] At large horizontal displacements (4.0-5.0 A) interaction energies in the benzenebenzene, pyridine–pyridine and pyridine–benzene dimers are similar; about 2 kcal mol-1 .

An interesting alternative sustainable route to linear carbonates is the direct carboxylation of alcohols which is topic of our current research. The reaction itself uses CO2 as renewable zero cost feedstock and possess high atom efficiency. A second aspect of CO2 utilization is the capture of CO2 as greenhouse gas. Nevertheless for this reaction elementary problems have to be solved. Due to the thermodynamic stability of the CO2 molecule the activation of the C-Obond is quite difficult and complex. In addition the reaction is thermodynamically unfavoured (G=+26 KJ/mol) and consequently the position of the equilibrium leads to low DMC yields. This work focuses on the Cex Zr1−x O2 system which has both acidic and basic sites.[2] These sites play the dominant role on the catalytic performance. Our aim is the modification of those acidic and basic properties via changing the Ce/Zr ratios or surface functionalization of the Cex Zr1−x O2 to enhance DMC yield. In comparison to the monometallic archetypes mixed metal oxides show better stabilities and higher catalytic activities. Cex Zr1−x O2 catalysts with varying molar metal ratios with x from 0 to 1 were prepared via an oxalate-gel-method.[3] All synthesized catalysts were catalytically tested in a 25 ml autoclave. Reactions were carried out for 1 h at 443 K, 65 bar of CO2 and typically 10 ml of methanol and 50 mg of catalyst were used. DMC concentration was determined by gas chromatography. Catalysts where x is 0.6 and 0.8 showed the highest catalytic activity and were further surface functionalized by different species. The catalysts were characterized by BET-surface analysis and X-ray diffraction. BET surface areas range between 30 and 90 m2 /g and XRD-pattern showed that CeO2 exists in cubic phase and the ZrO2 exists in monoclinic and tetragonal phase. Our synthesized Cex Zr1−x O2 solid catalysts showed comparable activities known from literature.[3] Acid Base surface modifications on Cex Zr1−x O2 led to changed catalytic performances. In this context DMC yield could be increased from 0.4 to 1.1 mol% for Ce0.6 Zr0.4 O2 and from 0.3 to 1.7 mol% for Ce0.8 Zr0.2 O2 . Results reveal that the Ce content as well as the surface modification has a significant effect on acid base properties and plays an important role on the catalytic performance. [1] M. Aresta, A.

Here we report about our investigation on photochemically generated singlet oxygen as a probe for the interaction of α,ω-dianthrylalkanes and their monoendoperoxides. Therefore, a number of linked anthracenes were synthesized by various procedures, varying the chain-length from zero to eight. With these distanced bisanthracenes in hand, the k 1 and k 2 values of the two photooxidation steps to the corresponding mono- and bisendoperoxides were detected. Interestingly, the k 2 value does not simply rise with prolonged distance, due to less steric hindrance like k 1 , but instead reaches a maximum at a certain chain length. This can be ascribed to the strongest interaction of the anthracene – monoendoperoxid at this particular distance. This is also assured by experiments of the photoinduced intramolecular [4+4]-cycloaddition at 366 nm, which is only observed for C1 - up to C4 -chaines and also by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Our findings allow concluding the formation of a ferrocene-like anthracen - singlet oxygen - anthracen sandwich complex at this particular distance. [1] L. R. MacGillivray et al., J. Am. Chem.

Sanz Department of Organic Chemistry – University of Valencia – c/ Doctor Moliner No 50 46100 – Valencia – ESP [email protected] In this communication, we are describing the design of chiral bifunctional thioureas bearing an imidazoline ring in expectation of their dual activation of both electrophiles and nucleophiles to promote a wide range of nucleophilic addition reactions. We have modified the ring A substitution in order to enhance the acidity of NH protons, thus increasing the substrate’s nucleophilicity (see scheme below). The most important moiety of this structure is the imidazoline ring, which is synthesized from a chiral diamine and an aldehyde. Diamine 2 was obtained through amidation and reduction of phenyglycine methyl esther. In order to prepare the desired organocathalyst, a thiourea functionality was introduced by means of reaction between an isothiocyanate and a primary amine. The new organocathalysts will be tested in several transformations, such as Henry or aza-Henry[1] , Michael[2] and Mannich[3] additions. [1] X. Xu, T. Furukawa, T. Okino, H. Miyabe, Y.

The diastereo- and enantioselectivity is virtually complete (de 99%, ee 99%) and the title compound was obtained in 15 steps in an overall yield of 6.3%.[3] In addition to the aldol reaction the total synthesis also includes a new type of coumarin assembly via a Sonogashira reaction to a propiolic acid derivative, followed by a Lindlar reduction / lactonization sequence, which opens a new efficient and flexible entry to the coumarin core of other natural products.

We have identified enamine radical cation species in the case of four commonly used imidazolidin-4-one organocatalysts so far. Subsequent reactions of the enamine radicals with e.g. styrene (Fig.1) could be observed in our experiments as well.[2] Currently, the project is extended towards establishing electrochemical oxidation online coupled to the MS to replace the chemical oxidant. A second project aims on mechanism elucidation of enamine mediated, proline catalysed reactions which has been a strongly investigated field of organocatalysis in the last years. Therefore a charge labeled, proline based organocatalysts was synthesized. The catalyst carries a fixed charge far away from the catalytic center which enables us to detect intermediate species in low concentrations via MS without influencing the properties of the catalytic center.

Its synthesis is performed over Cu/ZnO/Al2 O3 catalysts. The well-established catalyst preparation by coprecipitation leads to a precursor system with a complex phase mixture[1] , containing different hydroxy-carbonates. Thermogravimetric (TG) measurements show, that the decomposition of Cu,Zn hydroxy-carbonates during calcination proceeds in two main steps: After the desorption of surface water, firstly, H2 O and CO2 are released simultaneously and in a second step only CO2 is released. The intermediate is therefore termed “high temperature carbonate” (HT-CO3 ).[2] According to the TG data, the typical calcination temperatures around 350 ◦ C would favor the formation of HTCO3 , but its role for the catalytic activity is unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of the calcination parameters on the properties and catalytic performance of catalysts derived from zincian malachite and aurichalcite precursors. We prepared two series of catalysts by variation of the calcination conditions. The first series starts from a phase pure aurichalcite, (Zn,Cu)5 (CO3 )2 (OH)6 , with a molar metal ratio Cu/Zn of 40:60. The second series starts from a zincian malachite, (Cu,Zn)(CO3 )(OH)2 (Cu/Zn 80:20) precursor. All samples were calcined in a rotating furnace at 330 ◦ C for 3 h with a flow of 100 ml/min. The heating rates were varied between 0.1 and 2 K/min. The resulting catalysts have been characterized in depth by XRD, TG analysis and IR spectroscopy and the catalytic activities in methanol synthesis have been tested. TG investigations of the calcined sample series revealed, that catalysts heated with different heating rates contain different amounts of HT-CO3 after calcination. By increasing the heating rate, more water accumulates in the atmosphere above the sample and cannot be purged out fast enough. The amount of water in the atmosphere during calcination crucially influences the decomposition kinetics of the hydroxy-carbonate by promoting the decomposition of the HT-CO3 and the crystallization of the metal oxides CuO and ZnO.[3] This is confimed by XRD measurements. The samples with the highest heating rates are most crystalline in both series, the samples of the exaurichalcite series with lower heating rates are nearly amorphous, with some weak features that cannot be ascribed to either ZnO or CuO. IR spectra of the calcined samples show bands in the carbonate region, similar to the ones in the precursors. Here again, the samples with the highest heating rate differ from the other samples by showing weaker and much broader features. Copper metal surface areas varied in a range of 19-25 m2 /g and 13-19 m2 /g for the ex-aurichalcite and ex-zincian malachite series, respectively. Activity in methanol synthesis was measured, but only differences smaller 10 % were found. There is an apparent trend in the activity data (normalized per weighed portion), but this trend is reversed when normalizing the activity to the actual reduced mass of catalyst. Therefore, no beneficial effect of a large amount of HT-CO3 for the catalytic activity in methanol synthesis was observed. [1] C. Baltes, S. Vukojevic, F. Schüth, J. Catal. 2008, 258, 334. M.

In this project, the gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization of fluorinated α-aminoallenes is applied for the synthesis of new BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) fluorescent dyes.[2] Furthermore the use of ionic liquids as reaction medium for gold-catalyzed cyclisation reactions[3] offers the possibility of recycling the catalyst, thus enhancing sustainability and industrial practicability. BODIPY’s have particular spectroscopic properties like small stoke shifts and high quantum yields which open new avenues for their application. The high fluorine content facilitates XPS-measurements beside the possibility of conventional fluorescent detection. Abb.1. Au-catalyzed cycloisomerisation as a key-step in BODOPY synthesis. [1] C.

Most of the reported syntheses of enantiomerically pure five-membered cyclic nitrones employ natural sugars as starting materials. A different approach was carried out in order to prepare other cyclic nitrones with different substituents, using common reactants such as nitrostyrene. In this work, a new three-step one-pot methodology was developed. The first step is a Michael addition reaction of an aldehyde (1) to a nitroalkene (2). This is an organocatalytic reaction mediated by a prolinol chiral derivative.[1] This reaction generates two chiral carbons in a γ-nitroaldehyde compound. In the following step, the reduction of the nitro group to hydroxylamine group was done and, in situ, the condensation of the latter one with the aldehyde to yield the nitrone (3) took place. The treatment of the reaction mixture provided alkenyl nitrones (3d) gave spontaneously an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition leading to tricyclic derivatives 4.[2] Figure 1 Acknowledgements: D.

Moreover, it can be synthesized from renewable resources. These make PLA environmentally friendly polymer of many potential applications. The latter results from the properties of polylactide (PLA), which depend significantly on its tacticity. Therefore it is essential to synthesize PLA in the controlled and stereoselective way. One of the most promising methods for the synthesis of PLA is the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide (rac-LA) using metal alkoxides as initiators. Dialkylgallium alkoxides are very interesting catalysts as they can polymerize rac-LA in controlled and stereoselective manner.[2] We showed that heterotactically enriched polylactide can be obtained in the presence of dialkylgallium alkoxides modified with Lewis bases, while the heteroselectivity was found to be strongly related to the coordination efficiency of a Lewis base to Ga center (Scheme 1).[2] Noteworthy is the fact that dialkylgallium enabled for the first time the facile switch of stereoselectivity during the process of polymerization as the use of strong Lewis bases, such as N-heterocyclic carbenes, for the complexation of dialkylgallium alkoxides led to isoselective gallium catalysts.[3] It is therefore important to examine in details the effect of various Lewis bases on the activity and stereoselectivity of obtained dialkylgallium catalysts. I am going to present the results of our studies on the effect of tertiary amines on the structure and selectivity of dialkylgallium alkoxides, and the structure of obtained polylactide.

In this study we report a systematic investigation of the effects of the V:Mo metal oxide ratio of such supported model systems. Experimental Supported MoV-mixed metal oxides were prepared by anchoring (NH4 )6 Mo7 O24 and NH4 VO3 to the surface of functionalized SBA-15 by applying an ion exchange methodology.[2] Upon calcination the metal oxide precursors decomposed to disperse metal oxide species on the surface of the support. A series of samples of varying V:Mo ratio with constant total metal loading was obtained. Materials were characterized by N2 -physisorption, XRD, XRF, SEM/EDX along with in situ Raman and UV-vis spectroscopy, before their catalytic performance in oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODP) was investigated. Results The mesoporous structure of SBA-15 is maintained, while the metal oxide species are distributed homogeneously throughout the final catalyst materials. Due to the variation in ratios, the interaction between the V and Mo oxides differs. The interaction has been analyzed using in situ UV-vis and Raman spectroscopy. A consequence of this variation is difference in the catalytic behavior in ODP. [1] [2] H. Dai et al. Journal of Catalysis 2004, 221, 491-499. Hess et al. J. Phys. Chem. B 2004, 108 (28), 9703-9709.

The obtained structures are anionic or neutral dinuclear complexes which are bridged via one or two pyranosidato ligands.[1-3] Our first complex of this class of compounds was achieved by reaction of CpZrCl3 (thf)2 with methyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D-glucopyranoside in presence of triethylamine.[1] Thereby, the complex containing benzylidene protected glucopyranosidato ligands forms a U-shaped chiral cavity with C 2 -symmetry. The anionic zirconate complex 1 incorporates a triethylammmonium cation forming a host-guest couple. Adding other amines the incorporated cation is substituted. By using a racemic mixture the chiral cavity is able to discriminate between R- and S -enantiomers.[4] We obtained a similar complex containing two titanium centres by using Cp* instead of Cp. Molecule 2 contains only two chlorido ligands and for this reason it is neutral and cannot incorporate other anions. 2 is used as precatalyst for hydroamination reactions.[5] Next to dinuclear compounds we are also trying to synthesise mononuclear titanium and zirconium sugar complexes to use them also as catalysts in different reactions.

C2 / Straße des 17. Juni 135 – 10623 Berlin – GER [email protected] Heterogeneous catalysis is an important tool to convert resources to valuable chemicals. One of the most important reactions to generate functionalized hydrocarbons is selective oxidation of alkanes and alkenes with molybdenum and vanadium based oxide catalysts. Industrially used catalysts exhibit a highly complex chemical composition. To understand principle reaction processes in catalytic oxidation it is essential to study model systems under simplified conditions. Nanostructured oxide materials are often used as support, to create suitable model systems for detailed simultaneous investigations of catalysts structure and performance. The structure of the surface oxide catalysts is significantly affected by the properties of the support material. Thus, it is possible to generate a variety of molecular model catalyst structures. Here, we investigated the influence of MgO-coated SBA-15 (MgO/SBA-15 ) with alkaline surface properties on the structure of vanadium and molybdenum oxide catalysts. To gain deeper insight into structure activity correlation, we used a combination of spectroscopic techniques and simultaneous determination of catalytic activity under selective propene oxidizing conditions. The alkaline character of the MgO-based support led to the formation of highly simplified catalysts units. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and diffuse reflectance UV-Vis (DR-UV-Vis) spectroscopy measurements showed that a similar structural motif was obtained for VOx and MoOx supported on MgO/SBA-15 with a tetrahedral arrangement of oxygen atoms around the metal centers. In situ XAS investigations under propene oxidizing conditions revealed a correlation between structural changes and the onset of catalytic activity. Selectivity towards the selective oxidation of propene to acrolein was directly correlated to the number of bridging M–O–M bonds (Fig. 1). Thus, the presence of nucleophilic oxygen in the M–O–M bond proved to be crucial for selective oxidation.

Małgorzata Cieślak) Indoor air quality (IAQ) is one of the most significant factors affecting the health and well-being of people who spend a lot of time in their lives indoors. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include a variety of chemicals, which adversely affect on human health. Among the different treatment methods developed for the degradation of VOCs, photocatalytic oxidation process with using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst can be considered as an innovative and promising solution. Currently, research is carried out on the modification of textile materials with titanium dioxide. The evaluation of the photocatalytic activity of different forms of titanium dioxide and textile materials modified by them requires searching a suitable techniques. The aim of this study was the development of a new measurement method for the photocatalytic effectiveness assessment based on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) technique. FTIR Spectrometer Bruker Vertex 70 equipped with the gas cuvette was used and the specially photoreactor (with quartz cover) connected to FTIR was built. The Xenon lamp Optel (150 W) to the photocatalytic process was used. The photocatalytic activity of titanium oxide (IV) (TiO2) and titanium oxide (IV) modified by silver (TiO2/Ag) was tested. As a model of VOCs the toluene was selected. It was found that, the assessment of the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide towards VOCs using developed method based on FTIR spectroscopy technique is possible. 136 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 079 Mechanistic Investigations of the Palladium-Catalysed Arylation of Pyridine N-Oxides Emma Svensson, Sasa Duric, Sina Zucker, C. Christoph Tzschucke Chemie und Biochemie – Freie Universität Berlin – Takustr. 3 – Berlin – GER [email protected] Direct arylation of pyridine N-oxides via palladium-catalysed C-H-activation has shown to be a convenient synthesis of substituted bipyridine N-oxides.[1,2] The limitation of the coupling reaction lies within the electronic properties of the pyridine Noxide. Direct arylation of electron-deficient substrates such as 4-ethoxycarbonylpyridine N-oxide gives product in good yields (eq. 1).[1] On the contrary, arylation of unsubstituted pyridine N-oxides is highly dependent on the nature of aryl halide. Reaction with 4-bromotoluene gives the product in high yields (eq. 2),[2] whereas arylation with 2-bromopyridine is limited and gives bipyridine N-oxide in low yields (eq. 3). Initial kinetic measurements indicate that the rate-limiting step for pyridine N-oxides with electron-withdrawing groups is the C-H-activation, regardless of aryl halide. Preliminary data of the coupling of electron-rich pyridine N-oxides with bromobenzene displays a linear consumption of aryl halide, whereas decay of bromopyridine does not show the same linearity. However, kinetic measurements of bromopyridine are hindered due to a decomposition pathway where nucleophilic attack of pyridine Noxide on bromopyridine forms the N-(2-pyridyl)-2-pyridone product. Herein, we present kinetic measurements of the direct arylation of electron-deficient and electron-rich substrates. Further mechanistic investigations with different electrophiles will be performed to elucidate the influence of aryl halide in the coupling reaction. [1] [2] S. Duric, C. C. Tzschucke, Org.

While there are various reports about Ru dissolution from unsupported (e.g. [2] ) and supported catalysts (e.g. [3] ), none of these focusses on elucidating the mechanisms involved on an early timescale of operation (0 − 100 h). Experimental Two different techniques (wet spraying and hot pressing) for preparation of the membrane-electrode assemblies (MEA) were chosen to study the influence of the electrode preparation process. MEAs from both preparation routes were subjected to specific operation conditions in a methanol fuel cell. This way, a set of samples with different histories (i.e. cell potential, runtime, fuel) was created and analyzed using different techniques. While the particle size was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the Ru content was measured by quantitative synchrotron X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (synXRF) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used as a fingerprint technique to identify the chemical nature of the ruthenium by comparison of the near edge features. The most important drawback is the low concentration of Ru species, which is high enough to severly impact the performance, but almost too low to be detected by standard characterization techniques. Results It is observed that already during preparation of the MEA a crossover of ruthenium from the anode to the cathode occurs. As there is no cell potential involved, this has to be attributed to soluble Ru species permeating through the membrane. A process that most definitely continues during further operation of the fuel cell. It was possible to obtain XAS spectra of catalyst samples containing ruthenium in the 10 - 100 ppm range. The quality of the cathode samples’ spectra is good enough to compare the absorption edge shape to known ruthenium references and identify the ruthenium’s oxidation state. Taking into account the different histories of the samples, we see the expected correlation between runtime and amount of Ru migration (i.e. longer runtime means more Ru being transferred). The correlation between cell potential and Ru migration on the other hand is not that obvious and will be discussed in further detail.

One strategy commonly employed to further functionalise indoles is a Friedel-Crafts reaction, one of the most important methods to form bonds between two carbon atoms. Since Jørgensen published the metal-catalysed enantioselective alkylation of indoles in 2001,[1] additional research projects have been accomplished in this field.[2] Sulfoximines have been verified as powerful ligands in asymmetric metal catalysis. C2 -symmetric bissulfoximines, for example, have been sucessfully employed in allylic alkylations[3] and (hetero)-Diels-Alder reactions.[4] Here, we present our preliminary results of an asymmetric Friedel-Crafts reaction between indole (1) and diethyl-2-benzylidenemalonate (2) catalysed by a chiral sulfoximinecopper-complex to achieve the desired product 3 in high enantioselectivity.

Rovisco Pais – 1049-001 Lisboa – POR [email protected] The direct cyclopropanation of olefins is an important and valuable transformation in organic synthesis from a laboratory scale all the way to industrial production, as cyclopropanes are common structural features of both naturally occuring and nonnatural bioactive substances.[1] Olefin cyclopropanation is dominated by the powerful chemistry of diazo compounds, which can be decomposed by specific transition metals (commonly rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, iridium or copper) to produce metallocarbene complexes in situ.[2] These metallocarbenes are mild and selective cyclopropanating agents and perform best with electron-rich or -neutral olefinic partners. During our recent studies on the gold-catalysed rearrangement of sulfonium ylides bearing an allyloxycarbonyl moiety,[3] we serendipitously discovered a direct intramolecular cyclopropanation of sulfonium ylides onto olefins. In this presentation, we shall report on the development of a gold-catalysed intramolecular cyclopropanation of electron-neutral alkenes by stabilised sulfonium ylides, mechanistic and computational investigations into this process and preliminary results on an asymmetric version.[4] Gold-catalysed intramolecular cyclopropanation of sulfonium ylides.

Juni 135 – 10623 Berlin – GER [email protected] Hydrogen is frequently discussed as energy carrier of the future. Complications in handling due to its gaseous aggregate state can be avoided by chemically binding hydrogen, e.g. as methanol. Methanol synthesis and its reverse reaction (i.e. methanol steam reforming to release hydrogen) are industrially catalyzed by a Cu/ZnO/Al2 O3 catalyst.[1,2] For a more efficient use of valuable resources catalysts need to be improved in both activity and selectivity. reliable structure-activity relations are required. In order to exclude contributions from other components, here Cu particles in the size range of few nm and stabilized on a nanostructured silica support were investigated as model systems. Four samples of Cu particles on a SBA-15 support were prepared by incipient wetness with Cu-citrate solutions with different concentrations. Afterwards samples of varying layer thickness and concentration were calcined under controlled conditions. Reducibility of the prepared CuO particles and activity of the resulting Cu phase were studied by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and catalytic measurements (Fig. 1), respectively. It was shown, that activity in methanol steam reforming and structure of the active Cu phase were influenced by the calcination conditions. Corresponding structure activity correlations are presented.

Organic chemists have found utility of 1 O2 as synthetic reagent, characterized its versatility, availability, low costs, and negligible environmental impact. 1 O2 reacts rapidly with unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds in ene reactions, [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions, heteroatom oxidations.[1] Phthalocyanines (Pcs) are synthetic aza-analogues of porphyrins, which upon illumination with light of an appropriate wavelength generate 1O . 2 We synthesized magnesium(II) 2,3-bis(1-adamantylsulfanyl)phthalocyanine and reported its photochemical properties.[2] This new macrocycle exhibited high singlet oxygen quantum yield value Φ∆ = 0.49 in both dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. Therefore, it was chosen as an active agent in design of continuous-flow photoreactor for singlet oxygen generation. The phthalocyanine was deposited on silica gel and next used to pack glass chromatography column. LED array emitting light of wavelength λ = 690 nm, corresponding to the absorbance maximum of the compound, was used. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzfuran (DPBF) is a chemical quencher of singlet oxygen which was used in a hexane solution passing via column during the measurements. Illumination of silica gel modified with Pc resulted immediately in decrease of DPBF concentration in eluate, while silica gel without immobilized Pc showed no 1 O2 production.

Since the introduction of the ‘first generation’ Ru-based catalysts the basic structure has been modified leading to different catalyst families[3] , including the most prominent mixed N-heterocyclic carbine (NHC)–phosphine metathesis catalysts, described as ‘second generation’. The replacement of one labile phosphine ligand with a nonlabile NHC led to an increased longevity of the active species and therefore better catalyst performance. A new indenylidene complex containing o-tolyl NHC ligand has been synthetized.[4] The catalytic activity of the complex was investigated in model reactions. Notably, for the RCM of sterically demanding olefins it is one of the most efficient catalysts reported so far. Fig. 1. New o-tolyl Ru catalyst [1] T. M. Trnka, R. H. Grubbs, Acc. Chem.

Gooßen FB Organische Chemie – Technische Universität Kaiserslautern – Erwin-Schrödinger-Straße Building 54 – Kaiserslautern – GER [email protected] Within recent years, the field of decarboxylative allylation reactions has undergone tremendous development.[1] However, most of the known catalytic protocols are versions of the Carroll rearrangement and extend only to allyl esters of carboxylic acids that – upon extrusion of CO2 – form stabilized carbanions.[1] Even fewer methods for the decarboxylative allylation of benzoic acids have been developed and they still suffer from limited substrate scope, for example the restriction to electron-rich benzoic acids.[2] Furthermore the requirement of an excess of silver(I) salts and toxic allyl halides makes this approach less attractive. We have recently overcome these drawbacks by developing a waste free method for the decarboxylative allylation of benzoic acid derivatives without the need of stoichiometric amount of additives. The developed method gives the corresponding allylbenzenes in good to excellent yields, proceeds at moderate temperatures and produces only CO2 as byproduct. The new catalyst also allows the conversion of benzoic esters that are generated in situ. For example, benzoic acids can be allylated with diallyl carbonate and directly be converted to the corresponding allylarenes. In this process, CO2 and allyl alcohol remain the only side products.

Recently we developed the synthesis of trifluorostyrenes by coupling of aryl bromides with stable trimethoxy(trifluorovinyl)borate 1 derived from the bulk compound HFC-134a.[2] To further simplify the procedure and to broaden the substrate scope, we are developing a one-step/one-pot procedure for a convenient palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of aryl halides with in situ generated trifluorovinylanion synthons. This method requires highly active catalysts, which operate at very low temperatures as well as a better understanding of the elemental steps involved. The synthesis of differnt precatalysts and preliminary results of coupling reactions will be discussed. [1] R. Anilkumar, D. J. Burton, Tetrahedron Letters 2002, 43, 2731-2733; A. Raghavanpillai, D.

Gschwind Department of Organic Chemistry – University of Regensburg – Universitätsstr. 31 – Regensburg – GER [email protected] For the formation of C-C bonds, with a new chiral center, one of the most powerful methods is the enantioselective catalytic 1,4-addition reaction to α,β-unsaturated systems. With a catalytic system consisting of chiral phosphoramidite ligands and copper(I) salts it is possible to reach high chemo- and regioselectivity and quantitative yields. A further advantage are the relatively low costs compared to other applied catalytic systems.[1−4] In order to elucidate the structure of the formed Cu(I) complexes as well as their temperature dependent geometry we combine experimental as well as simulated 31 P NMR spectra and 1 H diffusion experiments of various mixtures. For this purpose the Cu(I) source, the ligand to salt ratio and the solvent were varied. With these data we were able to identify a binuclear precatalytic complex structure with a mixed trigonal/tetrahedral coordination on copper.[5−8] This complex structure provides a free coordination site for the transmetalation reagent. The transmetalation of the organic moiety from the organometallic reagent to the precatalytic copper complex represents the first step in the proposed mechanism. However, up to now no experimental proof for such a transmetalated species was found. Thus we elucidate several systems combining the precatalytic copper complex with diaryl/dialky zinc or trialkyl aluminum reagents by various NMR spectroscopic techniques. Recently we were able to detect for the first time a transmetalation intermediate by 1 H31 P HMBC experiments, but the structure of the transmetalated species is until now not completely elucidated.

The SPO-Au complex is affordable and easy to synthesize, and it is not as instable under no protecting atmospheric conditions as other transition metal-ligand complexes are. A large variety of different enynes (Scheme 1) were synthesized in order to determine the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system. The main focus was put on 1,6-enynes with a tosyl or ortho-tosyl protected nitrogen linker in position four on the enyne with a varying substitution pattern at the triple and double bond. Other enynes bearing malonic acid dimethyl ester in position four or an acetyl group in position three also gave very interesting results. The catalytic conversion mostly followed the general procedure given in the literature.[1,2] Three different main product classes could be identified. Two of them are formal metatheses products bearing highly substituted 1,3-dienes and the third is an interesting class of cyclopropane derivatives (Scheme 2). The class of enynes bearing an acetyl group showed furthermore a 1,2-migration of the acetyl which was presented earlier by Fensterbank et al.[3] The chiral background of the SPO-Au complex was also used for enantioselective cycloisomerizations of 1,6-enynes. The enantiomeric excess could be raised in the beginning from 0% to 11% by changing the reaction conditions. It was shown that the used SPO-Au complex has the potential for substituting other more expensive and fragile catalytic systems and our results encourage further investigation. [1] L.

The reaction is hampered by the phenolic structure of these phytoalexins, because electron-rich arylhalides are less reactive. It is challenging to avoid the protecting/deprotecting steps and actually only a few examples of a direct coupling are known.[3] We report an efficient method for the synthesis of biphenols and the total synthesis of biphenolic phytoalexins which features a ligandless SUZUKI-MIYAURA-reaction using simple Pd on charcoal (heterogenous, easy to remove) in water.[4] [1] G.

Thus, the efficient conversion of CO2 into useful chemical intermediates is an important component for prospective resource-saving and sustainable energy economics. This work mainly focuses on the use of CO2 and methane as raw materials to obtain syngas by dry reforming (DRM: CO2 + CH4 −→ 2CO + 2H2 ). Since dry reforming is a highly endothermic reaction, several carbon producing side reactions can occur leading to deactivation of the catalysts.[1] To suppress side reactions, high reaction temperatures are needed. For the catalyst development the main challenge is the preparation of a noble metal-free material, which prevents coking and is stable at high temperatures. Here, we show that Ni/MgAlOx catalysts derived from hydrotalcitelike (htl) precursors fulfill these requirements. Ni/MgAl2 O4 catalysts have been prepared from hydrotalcite-like (htl) compounds as precursors by a constant pH co-precipitation method. The precursors and catalysts were extensively characterized in their calcined and reduced states as well as after DRM, using a variety of methods. XANES spectroscopy reveals the presence of two different Ni oxide species in the mostly amorphous calcined materials; NiO and NiAl2 O4 . The reduced catalysts exhibit a homogeneous metal distribution with high BET and specific Ni surface areas (up to 40 m2 /gN i ) and small Ni particles (∼10 nm), which are embedded in an MgAlOx matrix (Fig. 1). The ex-htl catalysts show high activities and outstanding stabilities in DRM at 900◦ C over 100 hours. The specific activities are found to correlate linearly with the specific metal surface area. TEM analysis of the spent catalysts reveals a good stability of the microstructure and only minor carbon deposition. In summary, we developed a noble metal free Ni/MgAlOx catalyst, which is stable at high temperatures even with high Ni loadings. With these materials coking during DRM can be suppressed to a certain extent by an increase of the reaction temperature allowing stable operation over 100 hours.

Because of small pore size these materials can be used only for the epoxidation of unsaturated compounds with the small molecules. In 1992 Camblor at al.[3] obtained the titanium silicalite catalyst Ti-Beta (with pore size of 0.8 nm) having the structure of BEA. Ti-Beta due to the incorporation of aluminum in the crystal lattice, is considered as a catalyst showing oxidizing and acidic properties. This properties of the Ti-Beta catalyst cause that epoxides formed duning the epoxidation of allylic compounds can easily undergo hydration. The research published by Mobil R & D Corporation in 1992 confirmed the discovery of mesoporous materials of M41S type. These materials are characterized by narrow distribution of pores (from 2 to 30 nm) and large specific surface (from 800 to 1600 m2/g).[4] The literature data show that all titanium silicalite catalysts (TS-1, TS-2, Ti-Beta, Ti-MCM-41, Ti-MCM-48) undergo deactivation in the process of allyl alcohol epoxidation. One of the reasons is the leaching of titanium from the structure of the catalyst. In the case of mesoporous titanium silicalite catalysts (Ti-MCM-41, TiMCM-48) deactivation is also connected with the instability of the structure in water solution. Much greater thermal stability (compared to the other titanium silicalite catalysts) and high arrangement of the structure has the mesoporous Ti-SBA-15 catalyst. This material, which belong to newest titanium silicalite catalysts, is obtained with the use of a biodegradable polymer Pluronic P123 as a structure-directing agent. [1] M. Taramasso, G. Perygo, B.

This increases the complexity of the reaction and complicates product isolation and reduces the atom efficiency.[1] A major interest in palladium-catalysed reactions is the stabilisation of the catalyst and the reoxidation of the Pd(0) intermediate to prevent Pd-black formation. To address these limitations, recent developments utilise coordinating solvents or ligands to stabilise the Pd(0) intermediates and molecular oxygen as stochiometric oxidant.[2,3] Our work investigates the viability of immobilisation of Pd bipyridine-complexes on gold electrode. This methodology could both provide fast reoxidation of Pd(0) on the electrode surface and prevent Pd black formation. A variety of substituted bipyridines were synthesized and attached to a sulfur functionalised linker that can be immobilised on gold surfaces. The synthesis of the functionalized linkers and characterisation of the immobilized complexes will be presented. [1] B. A. Steinhoff, I. A. Guzei, S. S. Stahl, J. Am. Chem.

Arda Ozturkcan∗ , Ahmet Altindal‡ Chemistry – Yildiz Technical University – 34210 – Istanbul – TUR ‡ Physics – Yildiz Technical University – 34210 – Istanbul – TUR [email protected] The scientific endeavor on the investigation of ferrocene containing molecules keeps increasing although 60 years has passed over its discovery by Pauson and Kealy.[1] An important carbon–carbon bond forming reaction in organic synthesis for the preparation of beta-amino carbonyl compounds[2] is Mannich reaction. Water is one of the eco-friendly, ease of access, inexpensive solvent and can certainly be considered as the cleanest solvent available for chemists.[3] Sonochemistry as a green innovation powerful technique can be extremely efficient and is applicable to a wide variety of practical syntheses has increasing interest in accelerate organic reactions.[4] The concept of green innovations in synthetic chemistry have emerged as a major solution for the development of cleaner and more benign chemical processes.[5] As part of this green concept, “water” and “ultrasound” have become so popular and received substantial interest. A green innovative, quite rapid, powerful novel and efficient method was developed to synthesize various beta-aminoketone derivative (4) from cyclohexanone (3), substituted 4-aminobenzyl cyanide (2) and, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde (1) via ultrasoundassisted direct-type catalytic Mannich reaction using bismuth (III) triflate in water. Good yields of the desired product (4) were obtained from available substrates, such as beta-aminoketones, at room temperature in 2 hours by ultrasound. The prominent advantages of the proposed method are simple conditions, easy work-up, low toxicity, shorter reaction time, anti-selectivity and higher yields over to traditional methods. The product clarified by spectroscopic methods (FTIR, 1 H NMR, UV-Vis, MS) after the purification processes and investigated its physical properties. Scheme 1.

Dieskau, Bernd Plietker Institut für Organische Chemie – Universität Stuttgart – Pfaffenwaldring 55 – 70569 Stuttgart – GER [email protected] Organo-phosphonates are useful building blocks in organic synthesis. They are used in a broad spectrum of reactions, e.g. the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons-reaction. So far the access to complex organo-phosphonates is mostly limited to high temperature procedures. Even more challenging are phosphonates with two adjacent quaternary carbon centers due to unfavorable steric interactions. Previously, our group succeeded in developing a Fe-catalyzed regioselective alkoxyallylation of activated double bonds. Here we present the extension of this method to the snythesis of diversely functionalised organo-phosphonates via a tandem phosphaMichael-addition-allylic substitution-reaction. [1] S. Rommel, A. P.

Consequently, new support concepts are required. One approach is to replace the carbon support by electron conducting (doped) oxides. But while oxide supports are very common in heterogeneous catalysis, only little is known about their structure, working principles, degradation behavior and their application in electrocatalysis. Thus to follow structural changes of the novel catalyst systems, and in particular changes of the novel oxide support materials, will be of great importance in the future. Here we report on our approach to combine XAS (in particular delta µ XANES) and in-situ DRIFTS for future investigation of the interaction between the support material and the adsorption of small molecules relevant to fuel cell catalysis. In-situ measurements shall be used to differentiate between reactive intermediates and “spectator” adsorbates and account for metal-support-interactions. Due to the catalysts’ small particle size and low metal loadings, XAS is the optimum choice for our studies, since it provides information on structure (EXAFS) and adsorbates (delta µ XANES) at the same time. In particular, EXAFS yields results about cluster size and morphology whereas delta µ XANES gives additional information about binding sites and adsorbate coverage. With in-situ DRIFTS interactions between the adsorbates and the oxide support can be studied. A combination of both techniques, for instance XAS-IR, has been shown by Newton.[1] To further establish the novel delta µ XANES technique, in-situ DRIFTS measurements will be carried out simultaneously to complement the delta µ XANES information. Therefore, CO oxidation has been picked as a model reaction to analyze the metal-support interactions of oxide-supported Pt-M catalysts, since numerous studies for comparison can be found in the literature. Additionally, it exhibits a good spectral signature, which allows for comparison between delta µ XANES and DRIFTS. For the planned experiments, we will examine the adsorption of CO on Pt-M (M=Pt, Ru) on different support materials (carbon, oxides) as a model system which is relevant to fuel cell catalysis. Using a temperature controlled, combined reactor cell, delta µ XANES and in-situ DRIFTS measurements will be done simultaneously. This cell is constructed right now and based on a DRIFTS cell design by Drochner.[2] Different requirements have to be taken into account, such as implementation of X-ray windows and minimization of the dead volume. This design allows for the first time to take XAS and in-situ DRIFTS spectra of the sample and the reference in one single cell, thus under the same conditions. The new insight will be used to develop tailormade and more stable catalysts, whose structure will be adapted to the prevailing conditions in order to reduce costs, which is of particular interest for commercial applications. Furthermore, new information will be gained about reaction and poisoning mechanisms of catalysts in fuel cells. [1] [2] M. A. Newton, A. J. Dent, S. G. Fiddy, B. Jyoti, J.

Morawski Institute of Chemical and Environmental Engineering – West Pomeranian University of Technology – Pułaskiego 10 – Szczecin – POL [email protected] Titanium dioxide also called as titania is very well-known photocatalyst.[1] Received TiO2 powders were obtained through the hydrolysis of precursor solution consisting of a mixture of organometallic compound, titanium isopropoxide (TTIP), and 2-propanol in a volume ratio of 1:3. Subsequently, precursor solution was dissolved by slowly adding into water under magnetic stirring at ambient temperature in various pH. Obtained a colloidal white suspension was dried overnight at 110o C. Finally, portions of the hydrated amorphous titanium dioxide was calcined at 500o C for various times in an argon atmosphere. The aim of the present work is to focus on the influence of the water volume used to hydrolysis process and calcination time on the chamical and physical properties of obtained TiO2 photocatalysts. Moreover, titanias obtained through hydrolysis process carried out in 250 ml of water in an environment of both acidic and alkaline conditions were compared. The obtained powders were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption (BET) and X-ray powder diffraction. Also the photocatalytic activity of obtained TiO2 powders and its photodecomposition of azo-dye as a model compound (New Coccine) was investigated (Fig. 1). Figure 1.

In addition, chitosan will be modified with bromoacetic acid to make it water-soluble. Microwave usage in conjugation reactions is a new approach and usage of microwave energy in chemical reactions is rapidly increasing. Synthesized bioconjugates will be characterized with various chromatographic and spectroscopic methods and interpreted. The bioconjugates synthesized in the project will have usage potential in many fields (enhancing immunogenicity, drug delivery, molecular imaging, gene transfer, artificial tissues, etc.) by modifying them with various methods.

Owing to positioning dye and quencher at the same side of the enzyme recognition moiety we secure a close spatial proximity and thereby an optimal dye-quencher interaction in our fluorescent probe. Hence, our approach ensures efficient fluorescence quenching for NIR dyes by exploiting contact-based quenching mechanisms. The enzymatic cleavage of our fluorescent probe leads to a fragmentation into individual molecular building blocks via a well-established quinone-methide elimination and to a release of previously quenched dyes. We report the successful multistep synthesis, a dye screening with a set of NIR dyes, relative quantum yields of synthesized fluorescent probes, fluorescence quenching mechanism and enzyme kinetic parameters.

Recently, this was accomplished for the acid ceramidase[4] and different phospholipases[5] by the synthesis of doubly labeled fluorescent lipid analogues which allow the determination of enzyme activity within the living cell by means of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). These biochemical tools could not only supersede laborious and expensive radioactive assays, but could also shine light on transport kinetics and topology, essential information that is still elusive since established analytical methods (mass spectrometry of purified fragments) fail in this regard. Having synthesized a probe for the acid ceramidase[4] we now aim at establishing probes for the sphingomyelin-synthase and acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase). The latter enzyme is responsible for the degradation of membrane constituent sphingomyelin and involved cell cycle regulation and development of Niemann-Pick lysosomal storage disease.[3] In order to design a FRET-probe for the aSMase we want to synthesize a fluorescently labeled artificial substrate, which upon action of the enzyme shows different photospectral properties. This should allow the determination of the enzyme activity in situ. Structure and mode of operation of the envisioned aSMase-FRET-probe. [1] R. W. Jenkins, D. Canals, Y. A.

Calvete‡ ∗ Institut für Chemie – TU Berlin – GER † Fachbereich Chemie- und Biotechnologie – Hochschule Darmstadt – GER ‡ Laboratorio de Venómica y Proteinómica Estructural – Instituto de Biomedicina de Valencia, CSIC – ESP [email protected] Snake venoms are complex mixtures of bioactive polypeptides. A deep understanding of the composition of venoms is of applied importance not only for exploring their enormous potential as sources of pharmacological novelty, but also to fight the dire consequences of snakebite envenomings.[1] Unraveling complex molecular venom phenotypes is now within the reach of “omic” tecnologies. In particular, the last decade has witnessed the development of bottom-up proteomic strategies to explore venom proteomes.[2] Proteomics-based protocols to quantify the extent of cross-reaction of IgG or (Fab’)2 antivenoms against homologous and heterologous venoms, have been also recently introduced.[3-5] Drawbacks of bottom up venomics include the co-elution (HPLC), low mass resolution (SDS-PAGE), or impaired quantification ability (2DE), of the venom components. In addition, HPLC peak identification is restricted to the detection limit (LOD) of UV detectors, which is up to 100 times higher than LODs of mass analysers.[6] Further, off-line mass determination is time-consuming and not amenable for high-throughput screening. To overcome these difficulties, LC-MS can be applied for the rapid venom analysis.[7] In this work, we applied a LC-MS method using high resolution mass spectrometry for the rapid mass profiling of death adder, Acanthophis laevis, venoms from three different geographic regions of Papua-New Guinea. Quantification of detected masses was achieved by combining UV chromatographic areas and the summed extracted ion chromatogram signals. Our results show that A. laevis venom consists of PLA2 s (50-75%), 3FTxs (10-35%), Kunitz-type inhibitors (2-15 %), peptides (< 1%), and non-assigned m/z < 2000 (5-7 %) and >23 kDa (∼4%) components. These data provide a valuable insight into A. laevis venom composition and geographic variability, and found the scaffold for the further venomic characterization of this medically relevant snake.

This is due to mutual interaction as both the properties of the solute and of the solvent strongly depend on each other. The presented work is based on the idea that ionic liquids are cations solvated by anions and anions solvated by cations. To show this (in this system strongly pronounced) interaction the long time established donor–acceptor concept for solvents and ions in solution by Viktor Gutmann is extended to ionic liquids. A number of solvent parameters, such as the Kamlet–Abboud–Taft and the Dimroth–Reichardt ET scale for ionic liquids neglect this mutual influence, which, however, seems to be in fact necessary to get a proper description of ionic liquid properties. It is shown how strong such parameters vary when the influence of the counter ion is taken into account. Furthermore, acceptor and donor numbers for ionic liquids are presented. 162 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 105 Synthesis and study of antioxidant properties of fullerene C60 derivatives. Robert Czochara, Michał Symonowicz, Grzegorz Litwinienko Faculty of Chemistry – University of Warsaw – Pasteura 1 – Warsaw – POL [email protected] Oxidative damage of organic materials is caused by free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Antioxidants can inhibit oxidation reaction by removal of free radicals. Activity of antioxidants depends on structure and chemical nature, thus, nanoparticles are new promising objects for free radical research. Fullerenes[1] can find many potential applications in science, industry and medicine.[2,3] Carbon core makes fullerene an interesting initial structure in the development of novel radicalscavenging compounds with specific functionalities. Recently, it has been shown that fullerenes and their derivatives can trap several radicals per molecule[4] and can potentially be used as a protective substance against ROS. The aim of our studies is to synthesize[5] organic derivatives of fullerene C60 (X)n (where X= C10 Hqq N O2 ; (N HC6 H4 OH)6 ; C9 H9 N O). The structures are shown in Figure 1. By means of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Clark electrode[6,7] we also carried out the investigations on the potential antioxidant properties during the oxidation of stearic (ST) and linolenic (LNA) acids as models of oxidizable organic materials. Our results showed that at high temperature in bulk lipid phase the C60 and its derivatives are stable and can break radical oxidation chains. This feature is useful because new derivatives can be applied as antioxidants working in extreme conditions.

Samsonova, Alexander P. Osipov, Natalia N. Ugarova Chemistry Department – M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University – Leninskiye Gory 1-3 – Moscow – RUS [email protected] Homogeneous immunoassay is one of the perspective, but insufficiently explored direction of bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) applications. Here we propose a rapid and potentially sensitive homogeneous immunoassay of low molecular weight antigen based on the BRET. In this work we studied possibility of luciferase L. mingrelica application in homogeneous immunoassay for determination of low molecular weight antigens. Progesterone was chosen as a model antigen. System includes thermostable mutant form of luciferase (4TS), conjugated with progesterone (donor) and fluoro-labeled antibody (acceptor of bioluminescence). As an acceptor we used Alexa fluor 610-x dye, because it has an optimal spectral overlap of the luminescent and dye excitation spectra and a larger quantum yield as compared with Cy3 or Cy3.5, described at [1] . The method could find a wide range of applications by exchanging antigens and corresponding antibodies. In this work, we optimized conditions of synthesis of luciferase-progesterone conjugates. Via heterogeneous ELISA we demonstrated, ability of progesterone-luciferase conjugate form a complex with antibody. The strict dependence of Bioluminescent activity on the ratio luciferase/progesterone in reaction mixture was observed: increased from 12 to 63 percent, while this ratio was reduced from 1: 50 to 1: 5. We obtained conjugates of dye-labeled antibody (BRET-acceptor), with an F/P ratio of 3 to 10, and tested them for the luminescence energy transfer measurement. Then bioluminescent progesterone-tagged luciferase spectra in absence and presence of fluoro-labeled antibody were registrated at different concentrations of components. In absence of fluoro-labeled antibody only one maximum (590 nm), correspond to the luciferase emission was obserwed. When fluoro-labeled antibody was added, a reduction in the light emission at around 590 nm, and increase around 630 nm were observed, suggesting a transfer of energy from the progesterone-tagged luciferase to the fluoro-labeled anti-progesterone antibody. BRET-indices were taken as the ratios of the light emissions at 630 and 590 nm. Linear relationship was observed between BRET indices and the amount of dye incorporated into a protein. Then the relationships between the BRET indices and labeled antibodies concentration were plotted. A reduction of BRET index in presence of progesterone was observed. This show possibility of application Luc4TS conjugate for the determination of low molecular weight antigen via homogeneous ELISA in short time. [1] Y. Yamakawa, H.

In addition to their extensive use as pigments and dyes, this versatility gives rise to many applications, such as catalysts, liquid crystals, electrochromic and photochromic substances, data storage systems, photodynamic cancer therapy agents, photoactive units, chemical sensors, and nonlinear optical devices.[1-3] Catalytic activities of metallo-phthalocyanines derived from their structural similarity to metallo-porphyrin complexes have been widely studied because of their rather cheap and facile preparation in a large scale and of their chemical and thermal stability.[4] In this study, a novel phthalonitrile derivative was prepared from a single step reaction. By using phthalonitrile derivative, metallo-phthalocyanines carrying acidic substituents on the periphery were synthesized. Spectral results such as FT-IR, UV–Vis, EI-MS and 1H-NMR for the newly synthesized compounds are in good agreement with the proposed structures. Last part of this work dealt with the cotton fabric which was modified with a cationic auxiliary and converted to cationic cotton fabric for dyeing process. [1] N. B.

Polysaccharides from brown algae of the Russian Far Eastern seas possess unique structure and properties. Thus, brown algae of the Russian Far Eastern are of great interest because they are renewable and easily cultivated source of this substances. Fucoidans are high sulfated homo- and heteropolysaccharides from brown algae. The reason of high interest to these polysaccharides is wide spectrum of biological activities, such as antineoplastic, immunomodulating, antibacterial, antiviral and antiphlogistic activity. Due to fucoidans are nontoxic for the body they are widely tested on ability to prevent from development of different types of cancer. The alga Fucus evanescens was found out to be the richest source of fucoidans. The aim of this research was to obtain highly purified fucoidans from this species of algae for further determination of the structural characteristics of isolated fucoidans. The next stage of the investigation is to elucidate correlation between the structure of fucoidans and their anticancer and antineoplastic activity.

Their size can range from few nanometers to tens of micron and they can encapsulate biomolecules, like proteins, DNA and RNA, in the inner aqueous solution.[2] Recently, the phase transfer method has been presented as a new method for giant vesicle preparation where the macroemulsion formation is the initial step of the procedure. Moreover, the physics of the biomolecules encapsulation during the lipid compartment preparation is highly relevant both in basic and applied research. In origin of life studies, the entrapment of solutes inside liposomes might explain the onset of metabolic pathways in primitive cells. Preliminary unexpected observations[3] seem to indicate that the formation of liposomes acts as an attractor for the solutes in solution, bringing about a very high local concentration in some of them. In this contribution, we present a study of macroemulsion droplets preparation and fluorescence probes encapsulation. The ternary system studied is mineral oil/1palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(POPC)/water. The influence of the vortexing time on the droplets size distribution and on the probe encapsulation has been studied by performing both a dimensional and a fluorescence intensity analysis by confocal microscopy. We have also investigated the correlation between the yield of encapsulation of various fluorophores and different physical-chemical properties, in order to determine a law of distribution of their local concentration.

Jarzembska, Paulina M. Dominiak Faculty of Chemistry – University of Warsaw – Pasteura 1 – Warsaw – POL [email protected] Nucleobases, i.e. either purines or pyrimidines, constitute undoubtedly a crucial group of compounds in the context of nucleic acids. The specific interactions between these moieties are responsible for maintaining a proper structure of DNA, and thus are essential for the correct transfer of the genetic information. Nucleobases may form hydrogen bonding (in general, between the complementary pairs) but also may participate in π-stacking interactions (between the aromatic ring fragments). Beside the natural nucleic acid bases (NABs), also their analogues are commonly investigated. Some of such derivatives are encountered in organisms, while others are obtained artificially. Nevertheless, the information gained from the studies of unnatural compounds can contribute to our knowledge about nucleic acid properties in general, and is extremely useful for drug design. The presented project is focused on two nucleobases, i.e. thymine and 2,6- diaminopurine. The first one occurs naturally in biological systems, whereas the second is the derivative of adenine. The two analysed moieties should bind together via triple hydrogen bonding, which is in contrast to a double Watson-Crick bonding characteristic for a standard A-T pair. Within this project a lot of effort was dedicated to synthesising the component crystals and the co-crystal, and to characterise them. For that purpose X-ray diffraction experiments were carried out. For good quality and well diffracting crystals the experimental charge density analysis was performed, while for the remaining cases the TAAM procedure (Transferable Aspherical Atom Model) was applied.[1] Here, we present a comprehensive study of crystal packing and energetic features of the analysed systems in the context of the related compounds deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and our previous works dedicated to the NAB derivatives.[2,3] The nature of intermolecular interactions, structural motifs and crystal packing was analysed via Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots, charge density distribution, and theoretical calculations (CRYSTAL, Gaussian, and PIXEL). The solvent impact was also considered. [1] N. K. Hansen, P. Coppens, “Testing aspherical atom refinements on small-molecule data sets”, Acta Cryst. 1978, A34, 909-921. K.N. Jarzembska, M. Kubsik, R.

Thus, there is a need to develop effective methods of preventing and treating these infections. The aim of this study was to synthesise and explore anticoronaviral activity of polymerbased compounds. Four polycations, i.e. N(2 hydroxyl)propyl 3 trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC), hydrophobically modified HTCC (HM HTCC), O(2 hydroxypropyl) 3 trimethylammonium poly(vinyl alcohol) chloride (HTPVA) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) were investigated. In order to evaluate the inhibitory activity of the tested polymers in vitro study using LLC MK2 cells and ex vivo study using human airway epithelium (HAE) cultures were performed. The cytopathic effect (CPE) was correlated with a quantitative RT PCR based assay. The cytotoxicity was examined by an XTT assay and a Neutral Red assay. The results show that cationically modified polymers are effective inhibitors of HCoV NL63 replication. A cationically modified chitosan derivative HTCC seems to be the best inhibitor of replication of HCoV NL63 at nontoxic concentrations. Non modified polymers (chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol) did not show any antiviral properties.

The conjugate (Fig. 1) was prepared by modification of the method described previously[1] , based on covalent attachment of the protoporphyrin IX (Pp) to the polycation chain of polyethyleneimine (PEI). Protoporphyrin was chosen due to its good photosensiziting properties[2] , while PEI was previously shown to cross through bacterial outer membranes.[3,4] Therefore, this conjugate is expected to be promising for use in antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT). The polymeric photosensitizer was characterized using spectroscopic methods (fluorescence, absorption and NMR spectra) and chromatographic analysis. The obtained results indicate that Pp-PEI exhibits strongly aggregation in aqueous solution at physiological pH (pH=7.4), whereas absorption and fluorescence spectra of Pp-PEI dissolved in methanol were typical for monomeric form of porphyrins. Chromatographic analysis (GPC) provided information that synthesized product is uncrosslinked. The influence of Pp-PEI on lipid membranes was studied using liposomes as a model. The kinetics of the incorporation of Pp-PEI into the liposomes, the binding constant (Kb ) to the lipid membranes and fluorescence quenching of porphyrin were evaluated. The results demonstrate that porphyrin chromophores bind to liposomes, but due to the large size of the attached polymer, the binding constant is rather low. Incorporation of Pp-PEI into lipid membranes was confirmed using laser scanning confocal microscopy. Fig. 1. The structure of Pp-PEI. [1] L. Huang, T. Zhiyentayev, Y. Xuan, D. Azhibek, G. B.

Herein, a novel nucleic acid mimic based on 3-amino-1,2-propanediol was designed and synthesized. The opened sugar ring allowed more flexibility. Amide linkage was introduced to avoid nuclease hydrolysis, and the reserved phosphodiester bond ensured the solubility. Finally, the distance between the base and sugar was increased, which benefited the repulsion between strands. After the four monomers were in hand, substituted single strands and thrombin binding aptamers (TBA) were synthesized with solid phase synthesizer, confirmed by MADLI-TOF mass spectrometry. According to the melting temperatures, all the 15-mer oligomers, substituted at different positions, showed lower duplex stability compared to dsDNA (-3.7 ∼ -9.0 K). However, when the acyclic monomer placed in positions T3, T7 and T12, the aptamer showed higher thermodynamic stability than unmodified one (+10.7K ), while substitution at other positions decreased the stability (-16.4 ∼ -20.2 K). Besides, conformational difference was indicated by CD spectra. Furthermore, for the single strand, the hydrolysis resistance were improved 50 fold in SVPDE and 32 fold in bovine serum, and for the quadruplex 3.6 fold and 1.7 fold respectively. In short, the novel acyclic nucleic acid mimic offered greater protection towards exonucleases, specific substituted aptamers even showed improved thermodynamic stability. This study provides valuable information regarding the optimal design of oligonucleotides. Study of further applications such as RNA interference and molecular beacon are now underway.

In recent years, especially soft ionization techniques of mass spectrometry like electrospray ionization (ESI) were improved for the detection of high masses. This allows the analysis of precise molecular masses of large native proteins like antibodies without any fragmentation. In order to understand structural aspects of native non-covalent complexes the analysis of a whole antibody-antigen-complex is a big challenge and first results are presented in this work. In this study we analyzed the monoclonal rat antibody R-C18 specific for Cisplatin induced DNA adducts which was developed by Thomale et al.[1] The detection of this antibody in its native state was successfully performed by a modified nano-ESI time of flight mass spectrometer (ToF-MS).[2] The antibody was found to be 20 to 50 fold charged - extremely depending on the parameters used. The correct mass of the unmodified antibody was determined to 144 kDa. As a model for the antigen we used synthetic oligonucleotides with known base sequences to produce the specific platinated DNA antigens. Oligomers contain 50 bases and were analyzed as single and double strands. The sequences of these 50mers was chosen that only one of the single strands contains two adjacent guanines to give the supposed binding pattern G*G*-cisPt(NH3)2 after incubation with Cisplatin. As a result we could detect the unmodified and the platinated DNA oligomers using mass spectrometry in positive and negative mode. The whole antibody-antigen-complex using these synthetic platinated oligomers could be successfully measured in positive mode. Surprisingly, the antibody binds not only to the platinated synthetic 50mer double strand but also to each of the corresponding platinated single strands. That means that the binding pattern of this special antibody might neither be restricted to DNA double strands, nor to the until now assumed binding pattern of G*G* intrastrand Cisplatin adducts. In conclusion we show the successful detection of antibodies and their antibodyantigen-complexes under native conditions via nano-ESI-High Mass-Q-ToF-MS. In future it could be possible to determine the precise epitope-binding structure of DNA antigens detected by diagnostic relevant antibodies. [1] [2] Liedert et al., Nucl.

Jakub Cędrowski, Grzegorz Litwinienko Faculty of Chemistry – University of Warsaw – Pasteura 1 – Warsaw – POL [email protected] Sulforaphane (1-isothiocyanato-4-(methylsulfinyl)butane, SFN, Figure 1) is a product of glucoraphanin hydrolysis, a compound naturally found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli. SFN belongs to the group of isothiocyanates and it is considered as a potential anticancer agent with antioxidant activity.[1] The antiradical molecular mechanism of SFN has not been clearly recognized yet. Yuan et al.[2] suggested that methylene sulfoxide group (CH3 -SO-CH2 -) is responsible for SFN activity and proposed a mechanism involving H-atom transfer from methylene group (CH3 -SO-CH2 -) to an alkyl radical. This interpretation is surprising because of high BDE value (Bond Dissociation Energy) for C-H bond of methylene sulfoxide group (eg. BDE for C-H bond in dimethyl sulfoxide is 94 kcal/mol).[3] It is also suggested that isothiocyanate group of SFN (–N=C=S) is not essential for antioxidant properties, because after reaction of benzyl isothiocyanate with hydroxyl radical, the –N=C=S group is unchanged.[2] The aim of this study was to answer which moiety is responsible for SFN antioxidant activity. In our work we studied SFN and its analogues (n-hexyl isothiocyanate (HITC) and dibuthyl sulfoxide (DBSO)) with model DPPH radical in methanol. The progress of the reaction was measured by stopped-flow measurements at 517nm. Obtained bimolecular rate constants show that DBSO is almost inactive toward DPPH radical. On the other hand HITC reacts with DPPH but much slower than SFN. Equimolar mixture of DBSO with HITC does not change the rate of reaction as compared to HITC used alone. We have proved that isothiocyanate group (-NCS) slowly reacts with radicals and this observation is in agreement with reports on kinetics of reactions of other compounds with -NCS group and radicals.[4,5] We account that the presence of both the methylene sulfoxide group and isothiocyanate group in SFN is necessary for its antiradical properties.

Therefore, studying the enzymes that synthesize and modify membrane-attached glycans may lead to the understanding of very important biological pathways. Also, by preparing and studying modified sugars to inhibit this enzymes we can achieve potencial antibiotics, fungicides or antitumoral agents. In our laboratory, thanks to the vast experience we have in the chemistry of nitrones,[2] we are developing several methods for the preparation of five and six membered nitrones that can be functionalized and then reduced to give pirrolidines and piperidines, classic inhibitors of glycosidases and transglycosidades (Figure 1).

This reaction is known to have complex autocatalytic kinetics, mediated by protein free-radicals, starting with a slow (lag) phase, after which proceeds onto a fast autocatalytic phase, leading to the oxidation of the oxy form to the met form, nitrite to nitrate; in the presence of a higher concentration of NO− 2 nitritemet adducts are formed.[4] UV-vis spectra were collected upon stopped-flow mixing of globins with a supraphysiological excess of nitrite and various kinetic simulations were performed, deconstructing the resulting spectra into individual components, we have found a match, that suggests that the initial pathway involves the formation of an iron(II)-peroxonitrate adduct which releases nitrate and the high-valent radical species, ferryl. This is the first study where a reaction intermediate is directly detected in the oxy+nitrite reaction. [1] A. Keszler, B. Piknova, A. N. Schechter, N.

Rödl, Dieter Steinhilber, Bettina Hofmann, Holger Stark Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry – Goethe University – Max-von-Laue-Straße 9 – Frankfurt am Main – GER [email protected] Arachidonic acid released from cytoplasmic membrane upon external stimuli is the source of one important group of inflammatory mediators: the leukotrienes (LTs). The key enzyme of their biosynthesis is the iron-containing, heme-free 5-lipoxygenase (5LO). LTs play a pivotal role in inflammation, allergic disorders, asthma, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Up to now, only two LT-interfering drugs are marketed with R and the iron limited success: the LT-receptor antagonist Montelukast (Singulair) R chelating 5-LO inhibitor Zileuton (Zyflo). The need to discover new active ligands for anti-leukotriene therapy is still urgent.[1,2] Based on early virtual screening[3] and medium-throughput screening we previously identified the 5-arylidene-2-aryl-thiazolin-4-one as a lead structure (Fig. 1).[4] Our previous studies on structure activity-relationships (SAR) pointed out that this lead shows a continuous SAR for 5-LO.[4] Now we were focused on further evaluation, characterization and cytotoxicity of the thiazolinones. Therefore we designed and synthesized novel 5-arylidene-2-aryl-thiazolin-4-one derivatives as direct 5-LO inhibitors, modifying lipophilicity, the exocyclic double bond and introducing bicylic or mono aryl residues (part A to C). The compounds were prepared by one-pot domino reaction of thioglycolic acid, the corresponding benzaldehyd and benzonitrile or in a related two-step synthetic procedure. With the results of 5-LO inhibitory assay using cell-free as well as whole-cell (PMNL cells) [2][4] conditions we identified a naphthalene derivative with a ten-fold higher inhibitory potency than Zileuton and gained further insights into the SAR of the thiazolinone-based 5-LO inhibitors.[5] Kindly supported by TRIP, OSF, NeFF, Anwendungsorientierte Arzneimittelforschung (Fraunhofer IME) and EU COST Actions CM1103, BM1107, BM0806.

We hypothesized that P. larvae requires these substances in order to successfully compete against bacterial competitors present in the larvae, i.e. that the substances produced by these NRPS serve as antibiotics. In P. larvae genome, we so far identified, extended, and assembled three putative NRPS/PKS clusters. Using bacterial growth inhibition assays we were able to demonstrate that P. larvae strains indeed inhibited the growth of different bacterial species suggesting that at least some of these NRPS/PKS clusters are functional and lead to non-ribosomal antibiotic production. One of these clusters expresses a tripeptide that is related to antibiotic activity of P. larvae supernatants. The structure of the tripeptide D-Phe-D-Ala-L-Trp could be elucidated by means of LC-ESI-MS and GC-CI-MS. A knock-out mutant for the trimodular NRPS cluster showed a dramatic decrease in bacterial growth inhibition. The NRP itself showed no antibiotic activity.

MPc derivatives are aromatic macrocycles based on an 18 π electron system. These compounds are photoactive and tend to generate singlet oxygen species. Due to this property they can be used as potential photosensitizers in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors.[1] Phthalocyanines are known to aggregate in aqueous solution.[2] It is expected that aggregates will have an adverse effect on efficacy of the PDT. One way to overcome the low solubility of MPc is their encapsulation in liposomal vesicles.[1] 3,9,17,23-tetraiodo-phthalocyanine magnesium(II) (PcI4 Mg), a MPc derivative, was obtained in this study and its photochemistry was evaluated. The obtained compound is characterized by low value of fluorescence quantum yield. The tendency to generate singlet oxygen species was measured using phosphorescence detection. This method indicated a high value of the singlet oxygen quantum yield. Unfortunately, it was observed a tendency for aggregation both in aqueous environments and methanol. The aggregation constant in methanol was determined using physicochemical techniques including UV-ViS and fluorescence. Next, the interaction between PcI4 Mg and liposomes, a model of biological membrane, was studied. So called binding constant to liposomes was determined. Studies using the liposomes were carried out in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4). Finally, photostability of the obtained phthalocyanine in organic solvents was evaluated. 3,9,17,23-tetraiodo-phthalocyanine magnesium(II) (PcI4 Mg) [1] C. Gol, M.

However, based on VSCF wavefunctions many states show very small leading VCI coefficients and show thus multi-reference character. For that reason we have implemented vibrational multiconfiguration self-consistent field theory (VMCSCF).[1] With several improvements we have been able to accelerate our program tremendously.[2] We will present the theory of the current implementation and illustrate benchmark calculations. Based on multi-level potential energy surfaces (PES) obtained from explicitly correlated coupled-cluster theory, i.e. CCSD(T)-F12/VTZ-F12, mean absolute deviations with respect to experimental data were found to be as low as 3.0 cm−1 .[3] To provide these high-level multi-dimensional PES to the scientific community we have set up a web interface (www.pes-database.theochem.uni-stuttgart.de) which allows to download potential files free of charge.[4] These can be used for vibrational structure calculations, molecular dynamics simulations and many other purposes, which require very accurate representations of the PES. The functionality of the web interface allows the users to search for certain molecules and even to upload potential files, which have been generated by Molpro. [1] S. S. [3] F. [4] F.

Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 123 Three-dimensional, porous superstructures by self-assembly of noble metal nanoparticles – investigation of structural properties and their application in catalysis Anne-Kristin Herrmann, Nikolai Gaponik, Alexander Eychmüller Physical Chemistry/Electrochemistry – TU Dresden – Bergstraße 66b – Dresden – GER [email protected] New challenges in nanotechnology arise in the assembly of nanocrystals into threedimensional and complex superstructures which may carry synergistic properties and opens up new kind of application fields. A new approach leading to highly porous, non-ordered nanostructured solids makes use of a sol-gel process where noble metal nanoparticles act as building blocks for nanowires which are interconnected and interpenetrating and therefore forming a self supporting network with macroscopic dimensions.[1,2] In this case no linker systems or templates are used in order to realize the network formation. Instead of this controlled destabilization of the colloidal solution act as key step for initialization of the process. Subsequent supercritical drying in CO2 is used in order to remove the solvent from the pores and transfer the material into so called aerogels. Details concerning the mechanism and the particle interaction are still under investigation. In order to characterize the aerogels concerning their composition and structure on the nano- and micro-scale different techniques are used as for example optical spectroscopy (HR)TEM, SEM, XRD, EDX, N2 and H2 adsorption. It was shown that their primary structural units match the size range of the initial nanoparticles (5-15 nm) and they provide a very high surface area, extreme low density (1/1000 compared to the corresponding bulk metals) but also macroscopic dimensions whilst maintaining most of the nanoscale properties. Therefore metallic aerogels provide promising candidates for many different application fields as for example: heterogeneous- and electrocatalysis, energy harvesting systems, optical sensors, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates, broad band optical limiters, and conducting transparent substrates.[3] As an example of an application in the field of catalysis the electrocatalytical activity towards the oxidation of ethanol of a freestanding α-, β-, or γ- cyclodextrin modified palladium nanoparticle aerogel with extremely high electrocatalytic current density and good durability was recently reported.[4] Further possibilities and results for application in catalysis will be discussed within the presentation.

Poster 124 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 181 Towards large scale vibrational structure calculations Dominik Oschetzki, Michael Neff, Guntram Rauhut Institut für Theoretische Chemie – Universität Stuttgart – Pfaffenwaldring 55 – D-70569 Stuttgart – GER [email protected] The calculation of accurate anharmonic frequencies for large molecules or clusters is still very demanding. The reason for that are the calculation of high-level potential energy surfaces (PES) in combination with accurate vibrational correlation calculations as provided by vibrational configuration interaction methods (VCI). For the efficient calculation of the PES several techniques can be used for acceleration, like an automated iterative interpolation or a gridcomputing interface. The gridcomputing interface allows for the use of massive parallel architectures and distributed systems, like the Cray XE6 at the HLRS in Stuttgart. Together with the SEGL Client the generation of the PES can be completely automated on these massive parallel architectures. In addition to this bottleneck the subsequent VCI calculation becomes expensive, since the configuration space grows rapidly with the system size. To reduce the computational demands of the VCI calculation, a configuration selection technique is used to limit the calculation to those configurations, which have a large contribution to the energy. The observation is that only a very small fraction of the configuration space is needed to get wavenumber accuracy compared to the experiment. The selection is based on a VPT2 like energy criterion. To reduce the computational demands of the VCI calculations further, contractions in the calculation of matrix elements and a more rigorous use of Slater-Condon analogous rules are used. We investigated a set of lithium fluoride cluster (up to Li10 F10 ). The equilibrium structures and PES of these clusters have been calculated at the DF-LCCSD(T)-F12a level of theory using a reasonable basis set. For these systems the LCCSD(T)-F12a method gives an accurate discription of the electronic structure, while the PES calculation on several thousand cores benefits from the DF implementation. As the bottleneck of the PES calculation is reduced dramatically by using the Cray XE6 the subsequent VCI calculations get more and more the bottleneck. Thereby improving the VCI calculations will be again in focus. 182 Thursday 17:40 - 20:10 Poster 125 The application of X-rays fluorescence spectroscopy to determination of fluorides in solid materials Zuzanna Kowalkiewicz , Sylwia Lipiecka, Katarzyna Makowska, Włodzimierz Urbaniak Faculty of Chemistry – Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań – Umultowska Street 89b – Poznań – POL [email protected] X-rays fluorescence spectroscopy is a method based on the fluorescence phenomenon. Fluorescence is an emission of characteristic X-rays from sample after radiation of a high energy (X-rays or Gamma rays). Fluorescent radiation of a certain ingredient is result of the transition of electrons during release of absorbed energy. Characteristic emitted radiation can be measure as wavelength of photons (wavelength dispersive spectrometer- XRF WDS) or energy of photons (energy dispersive spectrometer- XRF EDS). The majority of X-rays fluorescence spectrometers are limited to determination elements from sodium to uranium, therefore determination of fluorine by XRF spectroscopy is impossible. Moreover, hydrofluoric acid reacts with silicon dioxide (a component of glass), thus ICP-MS technique is not allowed to measure samples consist of even small amounts of fluorides. The aim of this study is to design the new method of determination of fluorides in solid samples using X-rays fluorescence spectroscopy. This method includes two steps of preparation of sample-lixiviation calcium compounds by acetic acid and sample filtration. The residue on the filter constitutes the most insoluble in water fluoride salt-calcium fluoride (CaF2 , fluorspar). Fluorides from a filtrate are determined by ion-selective electrode measurement and simultaneously fluorides from a residue are determined using XRF apparatus. Owning to mentioned reason fluorine could not be directly measured by XRF spectroscopy. Hence, a concentration of the anions is calculated by measurement of a content of calcium in the residue. Thus, the concentration of fluorides are computed by stoichiometric composition of CaF2 .

In a series of publications, new varieties of lavender are still generating interest in research, resulting in the possibility of using this herb, such as an antibacterial agent, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as acting as a natural antidiabetic medication and sedative.[1-3] Counting a group of sedative drugs and sleep aids, almost completely devoid of adverse side effects at normal dosages, preparations are made based on plant extracts. The aim of this study was to determine the content of sesquiterpenes acids: valeric and acetoxyvalerenic acids with flowers of different varieties of lavender. The determination was performed by the method described in the European Pharmacopoeia.[4] Samples of lavender flowers were subjected by grinding. Extraction of sesquiterpenes acid were made in methanol. The resulting extract was analyzed by HPLC chromatography and chromatographic analysis were carried out in parallel with the addition of the internal standard (1,8-dihydroxyantrahinone). Studies have shown that different varieties of lavender sesquiterpenes acids content. Most valeric acid was determined in the variety ’Ellegance Purple’ (1.52 mg/100 g), and the least in the variety ’Blue River’ (0.75 mg/100 g). However, the flowers of ’Blue River’ contained 10-fold more acetoxyvalerenic acid (65.8 mg/100 g) than those of ’Ellegance Purple’ (6.5 mg/100 g). [1] L. Hui, L. He, L. Huxan, L. XiaoLan, Afri. J.

In this study, we have performed theoretical investigation on the bis(N,N-dimethyl-N’(2-chloro)benzoylthioureato)nickel(II) and tris(N,N-dimethyl-N’-(2-chloro)benzoylthioureato)cobalt(III) complexes using density functional B3LYP, BLYP, OLYP, PBEPBE, and wB97XD methods with cc-pVDZ basis set.

In many cases a reliable interpretation of such spectra requires the accurate simulation based on ab initio calculations. If the relevant potential energy surfaces are expanded in different coordinates, the Duschinsky rotation needs to be taken into account. This rotation in combination with an accurate description of the vibrational wavefunctions by a linear combination of distributed Gaussians leads to a computational bottleneck, which is subject to current research. Such an approach was tested quite recently.[1] A new program for the calculation of Franck-Condon factors making use of these features has been developed within the Molpro suite of ab initio programs. Here we present highly accurate calculations on the vibronic transitions of the SeH2 / SeH+ 2 system based on wavefunctions obtained from vibrational configuration interaction calculations. The potential energy surface has been obtained from CCSDTQ calculations with basis sets up to quadruple-ζ quality. Moreover, relativistic and core correlation effects were found to be important and were thus included within the determination of the 3-dimensional potential energy surface. Vibrational structure calculations make use of the full Watson Hamiltonian. Comparison with experimental data is provided. [1] J. Huh, M. Neff, G. Rauhut and R. Berger, Mol.

Piastów 42 – 71-065 Szczecin – POL [email protected] Wisteria sinensis is a woody climbing vine of the family Leguminosae, that can reach a height of 20 m, characterized by pendent racemes of light blue-violet, scented flowers. Originally from China, Japan and Southern USA, wisteria was brought into Europe in the nineteenth century. Several compounds isolated from different wisteria species have been reported to have antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activities.[1,2] Wisteria sinensis flowers are known for their pleasant, creamy sweet smell. A survey of the literature showed that the key ingredients of the characteristic fragrance of Wisteria sinensis flowers are two aromatic compounds: 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4H-1-benzopyran and 6,7-dimethoxy-4H1-benzopyran.[3] We report our results on the analysis of solvent extracts and essential oils from Wisteria sinensis flowers. The essential oil was obtained by steam distillation of the Wisteria sinensis flowers collected in Poland with use of the Deryng apparatus. The extracts were prepared by maceration both fresh and dried flowers using methanol, chloroform and n-hexane as solvents. Samples were analyzed with use gas chromatograph with a mass selective detector. The compounds were identified using a NIST 02 mass spectral library and the programmed temperature retention indexes were also determined. A preliminary analysis by GC/MS lead to characterize the essential oil and extracts of Wisteria sinensis flowers. Methyl or ethyl esters of fatty acids such as 14-methylpentadecanoic, hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic and linoleic acid as well as 9-octadecenamide and aliphatic hydrocarbons such as heptacosane, eicosane were identified as the main components. Eugenol, 6,10,14-trimethyl2-pentadecanon and phytosterols were also detected. Figure 1. Wisteria sinensis [1] T. Konoshima, M. Takasaki, M. Kozuka, H. Tokuda, H. Nishino, E. Matsuda, M.

Herbert Knauer GmbH – Hegauer Weg 38 – Berlin – GER ∗ [email protected] Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroidal hyperestrogenic mycotoxin that contaminates different crops worldwide. Due to its lipophilic nature it is often found in edible oil derived from contaminated material. The dilemma of seperating an apolar analyte from an apolar matrix either leads to a lack of specifity or very laborious, cost intensive techniques. Thus, the extraction and clean-up of ZEN from edible oil has long been termed problematic. In 2010, Siegel et al.[1] proposed a highly specific one-pot sample preparation technique. Carbonyl compounds as ZEN can be covalently bound to hydrazine functionalized polymer particles. After the clean-up process ZEN is cleaved from the polymer and quantified by HPLC with fluorescence detection. The aim of this work was to find out if a covalent SPE approach is suitable for online-coupling to HPLC. Seven different resins, polymer and silica based, were tested for their suitability. One silica and one polymer resin were found to have superior kinetic properties and were chosen for SPE cartridge fillings. First results regarding the technical setup, recovery and reusability rates are presented. This is the first work to explore whether a SPE based on covalent interaction has the potential to be coupled to HPLC. [1] D. Siegel, K. Andrae, M. Proske, C. Kochan, M. Koch, M. Weber,I.

The first possibility to modify Pz is to substitute the core with metal entities (M), while the second one is connected with peripheral modifications (Figure). Pzs substituted in the periphery have many potential applications as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy, sensors, molecular semiconductors and non-linear optical materials.[1] RESULTS Maleonitrile (3) was synthesized according to the two approaches (Figure). In the first approach double-reductive alkylation of diaminomaleonitrile (2) was employed to yield 2,3-bis[(2-thienylmethyl)amino]-2(Z)-butene-1,4-dinitrile (3) following a method elaborated by the Sheppard[2] and Barrett-Hoffman[3] teams. In second approach maleonitrile 3 was synthesized in a one-step procedure using 5-ethyl2-methylpyridine borane complex and acetic acid in methanol.[1] Alkylation reaction of 3 with dimethyl sulfate in THF led to the novel maleonitrile (4) which was subsequently used in Linstead macrocyclization reaction towards symmetrical porphyrazine (5). Peripheral metallation study of Pz 5 with PdCl2 (PhCN)2 in the UV-Vis and NMR are ongoing. Experimental results will be compared with the theoretical calculations (Gaussian G09 suite code). The structures of the different Pz 5 conformers with PdCl2 have been optimized according to the density functional theory at B3LYP/631G(d,p) level, including PCM solvation model. Moreover, the related calculations will be compared to the experimental NMR spectra and analyzed using (i) IGLOII basis for H, C, N, O, S atoms, (ii) standard base cc-pVTZ for magnesium cation, and (iii) LANL2DZ ECP for palladium salt.[5,6] Figure [1] M.

Sośnicki Institute of Chemistry and Environmental Protection – West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin – Piastów Avenue 42 – Szczecin – POL [email protected] In the last twenty years 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H )-thiones were recognized as valuable pharmacophores, which show a wide range of pharmalogical activity.[1] A large majority of 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H )-thione derivatives were synthesized according to three-component protocol developed by Biginelli in 1893 (Scheme 1). To the present, a number of improvements have been introduced in order to enhance the efficiency of this reaction.[2,3] As the result of the last attempts N-substituted derivatives were obtained starting from N-substituted thiourea.[4] However, despite of the vast derivatization opportunities, Biginelli reaction suffers from the lack of the attachment of the optional substituent at C-5 and lead mainly to the derivatives with carbonyl groups bonded to this carbon atom. Recently, we have demonstrated a new synthetic approach to C-4 substituted, NH 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H )-thiones via addition of organolithiums to commercially available NH pyrimidine 2(1H )-thione.[5] Following this strategy we present now the preliminary results of the synthesis of 4-alkil(aryl), 5-(H)aryl N-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H )-thiones (2). The efficiency and the regioselectivity of the addition of organolithium reagents are discussed. Besides, the synthesis of new 5-aryl N-substituted pyrimidine 2(1H )-thiones (1) is presented.

Hickey, Alexander Eychmüller Physikalische Chemie/ Elektrochemie – Technische Universität Dresden – Bergstraße 66b – 01069 Dresden – GER [email protected] Progress in the field of semiconductor quantum dots has been driven mainly by research into cadmium chalcogenides. As a result these materials are presently among the most investigated colloidal quantum dots and can be synthesized to possess high emission quantum yields across the visible spectral region. Unfortunately, with regard to bio-applications, the toxicity aspects argue against the use of cadmium containing quantum dots. However, the more biocompatible material indium phosphide can be synthesized such that it covers almost the same spectral range as the cadmium chalcogenides. In this work we present the synthesis and characterization of highly emitting indium phosphide quantum dots with a distinct amount of zinc. The emission color of the as-formed material spans the visible spectrum from blue-green to red. A one-pot hot injection dehalosilylation synthesis method has been combined with a well-controlled temperature program to modify the reaction rate. The as-prepared quantum dots possess high quantum yields without the further requirement for a passivating shell. Furthermore the amount of zinc incorporated in the quantum dots has been investigated using ICP/OES and XPS. We have observed a relationship between the amount of zinc and the higher quantum yields as well as a shift of the emission profile to higher energies.

First reported by Kuhn in 1991, the sterically demanding 2,5-ditert-butyl-pyrrolyl (PyrtBu2 ) was found to react as a Cp-analogue and to bind in a eta5 -fashion forming diaza-metallocenes of Fe, Co, Ni, Sn and Pb.[1] We have recently begun to explore the coordination and reaction chemistry of sterically demanding pyrrolyl and imidazolyl ligands with transition metals.[2] In this context the possibility to switch between different coordination modes was established with Cr(II) and Mn(II) centers. These and other results will be presented. [1] a.) N. Kuhn, K. Jendral, R. Boese, D. Bläser, Chem. Ber. 1991, 124, 89-91; b.) N. Kuhn, M. Köckerling, S. Stubenrauch, D. Bläser, R. Boese, J. Chem.

Silicophosphates also contain SiO6 octahedra but the main difference lies in their formation at normal pressure. Examples for it are SiP2 O7 [3] and Si5 P6 O25 [4] phases. However, their syntheses still require high temperatures or the addition of alkali or alkaline earth halides. Recently[5,6] we developed a novel synthesis of silicophosphates starting from anhydrous H3 PO4 . We also investigated one of the products by single crystal X-ray structure analysis (Fig. 1). In addition to established but parameter dependend reactions at high temperatures or sol-gel-techniques, we were now able to synthesize silicophosphates at room temperature and normal pressure.

Piastów 42 – Szczecin – POL [email protected] The benzo[1,4]oxazine scaffold is an interesting structural unit which occurs in a large number of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds. Some of them were found to be antibacterial and antifungal agents. For example, ofloxacin[1] is a drug active against Gramnegative bacteria, while the analogues of fluconazole were found to be a novel class of antifungal agents active against Candida albicans.[2] Moreover, natural derivatives of benzo[1,4]oxazine were found to be plant allelochemicals, wellknown for their phytotoxic activity and for taking part in the defense strategies of Gramineae, Ranunculaceae, and Scrophulariceae plants.[3] The aim of our research was to obtain novel halo-substituted benzo[1,4]oxazin-3ones as the compounds with potential antifungal and pharmacological properties. The synthesis starts from 2-nitrophenols (1) and methyl 2-bromoalkanoates (2) and proceeds by reductive cyclization of methyl 2-(2-nitrophenoxy)alkanoates (3) to give the desired benzo[1,4]oxazepin-3-ones (4). The dibromo derivatives (6) were finally obtained by further bromination of unsubstituted 2-alkylbenzo[1,4]oxazin-3-ones (5). According to our expectations some of the products exhibited antifungal activity (in vitro tests). Scheme 1. [1] A. Kleeman, J.

Because of the synthetic versatility of the triple bond compounds like 1 can be used as building blocks in organic synthesis. In this communication, we describe this synthetic potential by carrying out different transformations involving the coumarin skeleton and/or the triple bond. Thus, the triple bond can be totally or partially hydrogenated to give C -4 alkylated 2 or alkenylated 3 dihydrocoumarins, respectively. On the other hand, hydrogenation and descarboxylation, followed by reduction of the lactone and Mitsunobu reaction give alkynylated chromane 4 used in the synthesis of others chromanes with antihypertensive activity.[2] Besides, by gold-catalyzed cyclization leads to fused acetal 5 having the tetrahydrofuro[2,3-b]benzofuran skeleton characteristic of fungal metabolite aflatoxins and other natural products.[3] All these synthetic transformations are carried out with excellent yields and without loss of optical purity.

Starting from 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzoic acid chloranhydride 1 and varying appropriate acetylenes 2 and amines 4 on the step of cyclization we afforded a row of differently substituted 4-quinolones with yields from good to excellent. Besides we showed 4-quinolones as a substrate for further functionalizations. Among them are bromination, arylation by Susuki-Miaura cross-coupling reaction and introduction of trifluoromethyl group instead of bromine in third position of the 4quinolone skeleton as well as reduction of nitrogroup to aminogroup, change of the latter to bromine with subsequent arylation towards sixth position of the molecule. Novel polysubstituted compounds 5 and 6 obtained by the mentioned methods are of considerable interest as potentially bioactive agents. Scheme 1. Reagents and conditions: (i) 0.01 eq.

In case of fungal, viral, or bacterial attack these phytoalexins are formed and act as anti-microbial agents.[1] For the reason of their structural similarity to human hormones, such as 17β-estradiol (E2 ), the isoflavonoids in general and glyceollins in particular are able to interact with the human hormone balance. Thus, a broad spectrum of applications results in order to treat diseases associated with unbalanced hormone level, such as breast cancer, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis.[2,3,4] Consequently, these glyceollins have attracted much attention in the past decades. The first total synthesis of racemic as well as (+)-, and (-)-glyceollin was published by Erhardt and coworkers in 2008 and recently scaled up to multigram-scale. As key step a Sharpless oxidation with stoichiometric amounts of OsO4 was used.[5,6] For our approach toward the glyceollin total synthesis we used a gold catalyzed cyclization. Coupling of two fragments derived from commercially available 4-bromo resorcinol 4 is supposed to yield our key intermediate, the orthogonal protected isoflavene 5. A catalytic epoxidation of the central double-bond of isoflavene 5 should open access to an enantioselective route without using great amounts of toxic OsO4 . Previous research in our group suggests a successful synthesis of (-)-glyceollins if the enantiopure epoxide intermediate is gained. [1] T. Aoki, T. Akashi, S.-I. Ayabe, J.

Abbasi, Linda Supe, Ani Hakobyan, Viktor Iaroshenko Faculty of Chemistry – University Rostock – Albert Einstein str. 3a, 18059 Rostock – Rostock – GER [email protected] Purines and purine-like scaffolds are compounds with extensive application portfolio in the life science and medicine sector. The substances from the purine/pseudopurine family have been having a significant impact on drug design and drug-development.[1] Recently, laboratory of Iaroshenko have published a number of methods related to the synthesis of various heterocycle condensed pyridine/pyrimidine derivatives via the [3+3] heteroannulation reaction of pyridine/pyrimidine moiety on the core of electron-rich aminoheterocycles and anilines involving set of 1,3-CCC- and 1,3-CNCdielectrophiles.[2] Continuing this research synthesis of 1-deazapurines and isosteres bearing the exocyclic nitrogen atom at position-3 was developed basing on the formal [3+3]-cyclization reaction of nitro-malonaldehyde with the set of electron-rich aminoheterocycles (Figure 1). Through the functionalization of the purine-like scaffolds synthesized the diversity of compounds furnished in the possition-3 with aryl, alkinyl, and vinyl rests, were obtained (Figure 1).[3] Figure 1.

Unlike other mononuclear non-heme iron dioxygenases, the active sites of which typically contain a 2-histidine-1-carboxylate coordination motive, the iron ion of CDO is bound by three histidine ligands.[1] To this unit, the substrate cysteine coordinates through the sulfur atom and the nitrogen atom as a chelating ligand. Here we present the successful coordination and dioxygenation of a protected cysteinato ligand to a (His)3 FeII analogue (see Scheme):[3] In complex [TpM e,P h FeCysOEt], the TpM e,P h ligand excellently mimics the (His)3 -coordination sphere and also the function is simulated, as treatment with dioxygen mainly leads to cysteine sulfinic acid. 1 is thus the hitherto most realistic model for the active site of the CDO.

Although still at the beginning of its development, first successful results indicate the great potential of this research area. Some ligands tend to bind only weakly to their complementary receptors in biological systems. Stronger binding or enhanced inhibition can be achieved by the use of multivalent interactions.[1] Due to their remarkably high surface-to-volume ratio in combination with their high stability, nanoparticles are well suited as templates for the multivalent presentation of functional groups. Because of this, they are used in this project for the immobilization of potential selectin-inhibitors. Selectins are a natural class of carbohydrate binders, and play an essential role in the inflammation process. We synthesized water-soluble and biocompatible nanoparticles of different sizes with a terminally functionalized organic thiol shell, to present multivalently selectin ligands to the respective lectins. This multivalent presentation of selectin-binding structures led to highly improved binding properties compared to the monovalent structures.[2] Tests were conducted to investigate the behavior of the functionalized nanoparticles in cell cultures.

Insertion of fluorine atoms to the molecules causes significant changes in their chemical, biological and physical properties, in comparison with their nonfluorinated analogues.[1,2] Perfluorinated oxaziridines were used as powerful oxidation agents.[3] The synthesis of new, N -substituted oxaziridines 3,4 bearing an α-(trifluromethyl)benzyl substituent at C(3) was achieved by m-CPBA oxidation of the corresponding α-hydroxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl imines 1,2 and their trimethylsilyl protected derivatives, respectively. In all cases, mixtures of diastereoisomers were formed. Resulting compounds 3,4 were used in the model reaction of oxidation of tioanisole to mono-S -oxide.

However, conventional platinum-based chemotherapy is often associated with strong side effects, and the efficacy of anti-tumour drugs is strongly limited by intrinsic and treatment-induced resistance of tumour cells. An enzyme which is overexpressed in several tumour tissues and is involved in tumour onset and progression is COX-2, an isoform of cyclooxygenase (COX).[1] Clinical studies revealed that targeting the COX-2 pathway is a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of tumours. Furthermore, promising results were obtained with combinatorial treatments with chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin, and COX inhibitors.[2] These observed synergistic effects could be improved by combining both molecules in one compound. A covalent bond between the chemotherapeutic agent and the COX inhibitor should ensure a concerted transport of the drugs through the body and uptake into tumour cells. Furthermore, binding of the coupled COX inhibitor at COX2 could prevent an efflux of the platinum complex. Besides an increased accumulation of the drugs in the tumour cells, coupling of cisplatin with COX inhibitors could further enhance the efficacy of the chemotherapeutic agent by enabling a simultaneous action of both drugs in COX-2 overexpressing tumour cells.

Souto, Álvaro Iglesias, Kilian Muñiz ICIQ – Av. Països Catalans 16 – Tarragona – ESP [email protected] Ynamides represent a unique building block for organic synthesis and they have been referred to as a modern functional group.[1,2] The synthesis of ynamides through a direct CN bond forming process between amides and acetylenes is an attractive method. This has been reported using copper in either stoichiometric or catalytic amounts, however, more efficient metal-free processes are needed for the preparation of ynamides.[3-5] A particularly interesting preparation of ynamides was reported by Stang,[5] using hypervalent iodine(III) chemistry.[6] The reaction requires the formation of acetylenyl iodonium(III) salts 1 and suitable nitrogen nucleophiles, usually in their metallated form, which react in a Michael-type addition followed by aryl migration to form the corresponding ynamide product.[7] This method suffers from limitations such as the need to individually perform both metallated amides and acetylenyl iodonium(III) salts 1. Here, we present the development of an alternative, direct, metal-free oxidative C(sp1)N bond forming reaction using economically interesting terminal acetylenes and defined hypervalent iodine(III) reagents.[8] This method provides a simple, rapid and robust protocol for the synthesis of a diverse series of ynamides in a single-step operation.[9] [1] K.

Aminophosphonates 4e-g and imines 2a-f were analyzed in the viewpoint of influence on cancer cell lines. For the experiments, KYSE 30, KYSE 150 and KYSE 270, esophageal cancer cell lines were chosen and immortalized esophageal cell line HET 1 A was used as a control group. Toxicity was evaluated using the MTT assay. Among our 12 aminophosphonates a few of them were found to be cytotoxic, but only 4a had IC5 0 lower than 100 µM and acted as a potential cancer drug. SAR studies were attempted. In this communication, we will present results of these pharmacological studies. Moreover some of the imines showed interesting biological properties. It demonstrated significant phytotoxicity parameters for radish (Raphanus sativus) and oats (Avena) after adding the appropriate amounts of imines to the soil.

Nature realizes these important transformations, apparently effortless, through a deployment of distinctly working aldolases and ketolases with extremely high degrees of stereoselectivity. However this high specificity is limited to a small number of substrates. Also, not all possible stereoisomers can be accessed by enzymatic transformations. We have developed an organocatalyzed aldol addition of unprotected carbohydrates to 1.3-dicarbonyl compounds without using the classical tedious protecting and deprotecting procedure. In addition condensation reaction and subsequently rearrangements are avoided following this protocol. These investigations show great advantages in terms of time and atom economy. Also, this operationally simple transformation mimics aldolase-catalyzed transformations, which were identified in many biochemical processes. Further optimization and enlargement of this methodology to more general C-C bond formation processes of unprotected carbohydrates are under way.

In general, the "open" state is a mixture of rotamers, which turns into diastereomers in "closed" state in UV light and forms by-products by further continuous irradiation. When condensating malononitrile and difurylethene bearing an aldehyde group with piperidine as a catalyst, our attention was drawn to an unusual colour change of the reaction mixture to deep purple. Successful isolation of reproducibly formed new product and its structure analysis allowed us to suggest an irreversible cyclization pathway for diarylethenes in absence of irradiation. 208 Saturday 9:00 - 11:30 Poster 151 Synthesis of a Tripodal Germanium Based Ligand Precursor and its Reactivity at Ruthenium Roy Herrmann, Thomas Braun Institut für Chemie – Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin – Brook-Taylor-Straße 2 – Berlin – GER [email protected] The design of podand-type ligand backbones often allows an elaborated adjustment of their steric and electronic properties at the metal center to provide a high flexibility and versatility at the ligand backbone. Examples for heavier group 14 elements in the backbone of tetradentate tripodal ligands are rare, whereas tetradentate tripodal ligands with group 13 and 15 elements as backbone atoms are well established.[1] The reaction of the germane [Ge(H)(2-C6 H4 PPh2 )3 ] with [Ru(Cl)2 (PPh3 )3 ] in the presence of an excess of NEt3 results in the formation of the ruthenium complex [Ru(Cl)Ge(2-C6 H4 PPh2 )3 ] (1) (Scheme 1), which bears the Ge(2-C6 H4 PPh2 )3 entity as a tetradentate tripodal ligand. The Ge-Ru bond length of complex 1 is at the shorter end of Ge-Ru distances which are reported in the literature and the value is comparable to the Ge-Ru distances in a couple of known ruthenium germylene complexes. Treatment of complex 1 with HCl results in a cleavage of one of the Ge-C bonds to give the ruthenium complex [Ru(Cl)Ge(Cl)(2-C6 H4 PPh2 )2 (PPh3 )] (2) (Scheme 1). Therefore, the podand-type ligand can be transformed into a pincer-type ligand. The Ge(Cl)(2-C6 H4 PPh2 )2 unit represents a rare example for pincer-type ligands with germanium in the backbone.

The first one is reactions of binary carboxylates with different ligands. This approach is used for all noble metals excluding gold, since gold binary carboxylates are very unstable compounds which are extremely difficult to isolate. The second approach is a substitution of other acido ligands by carboxylate groups. This reaction works perfectly for halide complexes if silver(I) carboxylate is used as a halide acceptor. The method is applicable for both gold(I) and gold(III) compounds. We tested different approaches to synthesis of gold(III) carboxylate complexes. First we tried to prepare gold(III) acetates using reaction of chlorides [(L)AuCl2 ]Cl (L = bipy and phen) with sodium acetate in glacial acetic acid at 80-100C. However, it was found that for complex with phenanthroline the reaction leads to significant rearrangement of gold coordination sphere and formation of [(phen)AuCl2 ][AuCl4 ] complex instead of any carboxylate derivative. Four-coordinated cationic gold(III) chloride complexes [(L)AuCl2 ]BF4 (L = bipy, phen) react with silver(I) carboxylate RCO2 Ag (R = CH3 , CMe3 , CF3 ) in acetonitrile media giving corresponding carboxylate derivatives [(L)Au(RCO2 )2 ]BF4 , which were fully characterized including X-Ray diffraction study of [(bipy)Au(CF3 CO2 )2 ]BF4 . At the same time pseudo five-coordinated gold(III) complexes LAuCl3 (where L = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2’-bisquinoline) do not form stable products in the reaction, most likely, due to unfavourable steric features of the proposed carboxylate compounds. Finally, we carried out IR-spectroscopic studies for all the prepared complexes in order to explain their stability and reactivity.

Chem. – TU Bergakademie Freiberg – Leipziger Straße 29 – 09596 Freiberg – GER [email protected] The first metallasilatrane complexes, which are group 14 relatives of the nowadays widely explored metallaboratrane compounds [1] , bear the interesting structural motif of a dative TM→Si bond. The first representatives of these methimazole-buttressed paddlewheel-shaped complexes (with TM = Ni2+ , Pd2+ , Pt2+ )[2] exhibited very poor solubility in various solvents, which causes difficulties for characterization (e.g. NMR spectroscopy) and potential applications (e.g. homogeneous catalysis) in solution. Hence, their special molecular structures and 29 Si NMR spectroscopic properties were established by crystal structure analyses, solid state NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations.[3] With the aid of bulkier substituents (such as t-butyl or 2,6-dimethylphenyl) at the silatrane cage the solubility of metallasilatrane complexes was enhanced remarkably. In addition to neutral monomeric molecules, upon replacement of the TM-bound anion these compounds can form dimeric dications. The unexpected TM···TM contact of the latter is unbridged and can be rationalized by the spatial demand of the substituent R1 . [1] M. Spicer, J. Reglinski Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2009, 1553. a) J.

As ligands, substituted bipyridines were prepared by palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of pyridine N -oxides and subsequent reduction.[2] As electron donor, 9,9-diarylfluorenes, with different redox potentials were prepared and attached to the ruthenium(II) complex by an amide linkage.

Metallation of phthalocyanine with transition metals gives dyes with short lifetimes.[1] The effects of substituents and solvents on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of zinc(II) phthalocyanines containing four Schiff’s base substituents attached directly on peripheral positions are reported. The group effects on pheripheral position and the continual conjugation of the phthalocyanine molecules on the photophysical and photochemical properties are also investigated. General trends are described for photodegradation, singlet oxygen and fluorescence quantum yields of these compounds in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformamide (DMF) and tetrahydrofurane (THF). The fluorescence of the substituted zinc (II) phthalocyanine complexes is effectively quenched by 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) in the solvents used. [1] C.C. Leznoff, A.B.P.

Ewa Wrona, Mateusz Brela, Maria Owińska, Barbara Rys Department of Organic Chemistry – Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University – Ingardena 3 – Cracow – POL [email protected] Circular dichroism is one of the methods for determination the spiranes absolute configuation, including 2,2‘-spirobi-(1,3-benzodioxoles) and 2,2’-spirobi-(1,3-benzodioxol4-carboxylic) acids, which obtained diastereoisomers, have been separated via fractional crystallization. For each of the compounds, several circular dichroism spectra had been computed (TD-DFT, B3LYP, 6-311G** ). In all cases two counter Cotton effects have been noticed. The wave length for both the effects (c.a. 200nm) is different to the one predicted (c.a. 230nm for π → π* benzoic acid transfer). Furthermore, an analysis of atomic orbitals indicates, that the Cotton effects are not due to exciton coupling. Nevertheless, the bands observed still follow the correlation between the Cotton effects abundance and the chirality of molecule. Thus, having based on the circular dichroism spectroscopy as well as computational chemistry calculations the determination of synthetized compounds absolute configuration was possible.

The Case of Nitrones Dimerization David Roca-López , Tomás Tejero, Pedro Merino Dpto. de Síntesis y Estructura de Biomoléculas – Instituto de Síntesis Química y Catálisis Homogénea – Universidad de Zaragoza – C/ Pedro Cerbuna, 12 – Zaragoza – ESP [email protected] The [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of olefinic dipolarophiles with 1,3-dipoles, such as nitrile oxides or nitrones, is one of the best known and most widely used method for constructing five-membered heterocycles.[1] Nitrile oxides easily dimerize to furoxans, and the mechanism of the process has been already elucidated.[2] However, the analogous process with nitrones is a rarely reported event witnessed previously in few cases for cyclic nitrones. Recently, the cyclodimerization of several six-membered nitrones was investigated,[3] but only configurational and conformational features of the dimers were studied, without shedding light on the mechanism, which remains in controversy. Especially, because the apparent dimerization process consists in an unfavored thermal [4π+4π] cycloadition reaction, and no information exists to date about the electronic and steric effects on dimerization of nitrones and the nature of the transition states for such a process. In this work, we report DFT studies (both open- and closed-shell) on the dimerization of nitrones, first on a simple model and after on the 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-1-oxide, using up to the PCM(dichloromethane)/M06–2X/cc–pVTZ level of calculation.

For the preparation of rectangular shaped molecular objects 1,8-disubstituted anthracenes are particularly suitable, because self-assembly of these molecular clips with bidentate bridging ligands such as bipyridines inevitably leads to the formation of the desired structures. P. J. Stang and coworkers have already introduced these kinds of supramolecular complexes in 2001[1] and a lot of further investigations have been made ever since. The obtained structures mostly contain square planar Pt(II) or Pd(II) metal centers. However, there is no known example for an anisotropic structure up to now, due to the fact that the required experimental procedures appear to be far more challenging. Possible solutions might be the usage of partially protected precursors or a combination of donor and acceptor molecules. Herein we report the synthesis of two promising candidates as molecular acceptor clips for the formation of asymmetric supramolecular rectangles. The complex [[RuCl(CO)(Pi Pr3 )2 ]2 (µ-CH=CH-anthracen-CH=CH-1,8)] was obtained by a hydrometallation reaction. It was possible to isolate the intermediate [Ru(CH=CH-anthracen-C≡CH-1,8)Cl(CO)(Pi Pr3 )2 ] thereby enabling the synthesis of the novel heterobimetallic complex [RuCl(CO)(Pi Pr3 )2 OsCl(CO)((Pi Pr3 )2 (µ-CH=CH-anthracenCH=CH-1,8)]. Despite the close structural similarity to a published complex[2] improved reversibilities of the redox processes are observed via cyclovoltammetric examinations, thus providing the possibility to perform spectroelectrochemical studies. These point to sizable electronic coupling between the different metal sites in the mixed-valent radical cations and, in agreement with the results EPR studies indicate high ligand character of the corresponding SOMOs. Furthermore, the experimental findings agree well with the results of accompanying DFT calculations.[3] The vacant coordination sites located at the metal centers can be used to introduce various donor functions leading to anisotropic molecular objects. Suitable donor clip molecules have yet to be found and are in the focus of further studies. [1] C. J. Kuehl, S. D. Huang, P. J. Stang, Journal of the American Chemical Society 2001, 123, 9634-9641.

For this reasons, compounds of this type functionalized with CF3 group are an attractive class of substrates for use in organic synthesis, as well as substances with potential biological activity. The literature describes few examples of methods of preparation of azetidin-2-ones bearing CF3 substituent at positions C(3) or C(4) in heterocyclic ring. The main goal of presented study was to develop method for obtaining new 4 or 3CF3 -β-lactams with usage a starting materials N-(tert-butylsulphinyl) imine derivated from fluoral (1) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid (2). Preparation of racemic substrate 1 was unsuccessful. In each case, product was isolated in a appropriate hemiaminalan form. That is why, all reactions were carried out with commercially available (S )-1. Both used substrates 1 and 2 were not convenient reagents for preparation desired compounds in Staudinger type reactions (with acid chlorides, carboxylic acids or α-diazoketones). Only in the case of condensation (S )-1 with enolate anion generated from ethyl propionate gave 4 CF3 -β-lactam. 218 Saturday 9:00 - 11:30 Poster 161 N6 − α-Halogenacyl-derivatives of Sydnone Imines Alina S.

Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds Russian Academy of Sciences – Vavilov St. 28, 119334 – Moskow – RUS [email protected] Sydnone imines are the most studied representatives of mesoionic heterocyclic compounds. Their synthesis and studying of their properties are of great interest because of broad spectrum of sydnone imine’s pharmacological activity. Recently it was shown that sydnone imines were effective exogenous donors of nitrogen oxide (NO) an unique intracellular regulator of metabolism in living organism. At the moment, there are only unitary examples of N6 − α-halogenacyl- derivatives of sydnone imines at literature and their reactivity is virtually uninvestigated. The aim of our study was to fill these existing gaps in the chemistry of sydnone imines. We have obtained a wide range of N6 − α-halogenacyl-derivatives of sydnone imines 1 by the featured way of the interaction of chloroanhidrides of α-halogensubstituted carboxylic acids with sydnone imines hydrochlorides. It has been shown that these derivatives 1 are smoothly interact with different dialkylamines (Scheme 1) and S-nucleophiles (Scheme 2). In addition, it has been shown that in case of N6 − α-(2-thio-3-cyanopyridines)acetylderivatives 4 the course of the reaction of intramolecular cyclisation (Thorpe-Ziegler reaction) in 3-aminothienopyridines 5 is possible in good-to-excellent yields (Scheme 3). Thus, a wide range of novel representatives of sydnone imines have bin obtained. These derivatives are of great interest as potential pharmacological active compounds.

Hell Department of NanoBiophotonics – Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry – Am Fassberg 11 – Göttingen – GER [email protected] Dyes with large Stokes shifts (80–200 nm) are easy to detect, due to minimal sensitivity losses caused by reabsorption of light. Large Stokes shifts also facilitate spectral separation of the emission signal from the scattered excitation light, as well as from the background fluorescence of biological samples, which usually exhibits only small Stokes shift.[1] Photostable and bright fluorescent dyes with large Stokes shifts are rare and only few of them commercially available. Nearly all of them contain the coumarin fragment as a fluorophore. Recently, we reported the synthesis of 3-heteroarylcoumarins emitting green light, possessing Stokes shifts of ca. 70 nm, and performing quite well in optical microscopy applications, in particular, super-resolution imaging based on stimulated emission depletion (STED).[2] In the present study, we show that the Stokes shift can be nearly doubled by fusion of the coumarin system with the (iso)quinoline ring. For that, an ethene unit was incorporated between C-4 of the fluorophore and the pyridine ring (compound 3). The new (iso)quinolinocoumarins 3 emit yellow or orange light and have the Stokes shifts of ca. 140 nm. They were prepared from organotin precursors 1 and bromoheteroarylcarbaldehydes 2 using a Stille coupling reaction followed by cyclization of the intermediates in protic solvents and in the presence of a base. The large Stokes shifts and the good quantum yields in polar solvents (30 % in methanol) suggest that the modified (iso)quinolinocoumarins can be applied as photostable markers in multicolor STED microscopy.

Thus, they are esters of nitrous acid. Alkyl nitrites are useful reagents for organic synthesis, an example for synthesis organic or inorganic azides from compounds contain hydrazine group. Classic methods of synthesis alkyl nitrites[1-4] base on add drop by drop cool alcohol and acid solution to water solution of sodium or potassium nitrite. Nitrite solution are cooling in water and brine bath. Control of temperature and adding reagents to reaction mixture are crucial parts of alkyl nitrites synthesis. High temperature favour hydrolysis and evaporation of final product. That the temperature control is so important. But using the bath cooling in this case are ineffective. Time of reaction are finally inacceptable long. Adding too much acid in one pot, iniciate irreversible hydrolysis of alkyl nitrite. Final products of hydrolysis alkyl nitrites are easy to identify reddish-brown nitrogen dioxide which leaves reaction mixture. That are most important problems connection with alkyl nitrite synthesis. My reply for that synthesis troubles are the new easy to implementation method of synthesis alkyl nitrites. The key ideas are cancellation cool bath and change form of sodium nitrite. I used the easiest self coolling mixture as ice blocks.

This has been the main reason for intensive study of this ligand group complexes with transition and non-transition metals. On the contrary, a limited number of transition metal complexes with 2-acetylpyridine S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (HL) is known, of which only few mono-ligand Cu(II) and bis-ligand Co(III) complexes have been characterized with X-ray analyses. The paper is concerned with the crystal structure and electrochemical characteristics of the cobalt(III) complex with 2-acetylpyridine S-methylisothiosemicarbazone (HL), of the coordination formula [CoL2 ][CoII pyCl3 ] · M e2 CO. X-ray crystallography revealed that Co(III) is situated in a slightly deformed octahedral environment formed by six nitrogen atoms of the two L molecules in the meridional positions. The ligands molecules coordinate with Co(III) in a usual way, i.e. via the pyridine, azomethine, and isothioamide nitrogen atoms, each forming two five-membered metallocycles. Electrochemical studies of the complex in DMF showed that the electrode processes are accompanied by chemical reactions and the corresponding mechanism was proposed. The obtained complex was also characterized by elemental analysis, conductometric measurements and UV–Vis and IR spectroscopy.

We envisaged that introduction of powerful electronwithdrawing groups as methoxalyl, polyfluoroacyl and aroyl into the 3-position of chromone would increase its reactivity toward nucleophilic reagents. Unlike, these 3-substituted chromones 1-3 have not received much attention despite their potential interest as building blocks in organic synthesis via the reactions with 1,3-C,Cdinucleophiles. A fact prompting us to investigate their reaction with dimethyl 1,3acetonedicarboxylate and 1,3-diphenylacetone. We are reporting now, that reactions of 3-substituted chromones 1-3 with dimethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate and 1,3-diphenylacetone in the presence of DBU proceed at the C-2 atom of the chromone system with pyrone ring-opening and subsequent formal [3+3] cyclocondensation and led to the formation of functionalized 2-hydroxybenzophenones, 6H-benzo[c]chromenes and benzo[c]coumarins, depending on the substituent at the 3-position (Figure 1).[3] The obtained products constitute an important structural subunit of a variety of biologically active compounds[4] , which are not readily available by other methods. In further experiments we studied the base-mediated hydrolysis of the products 4,5. It is also important to notice, that due to the strong UV-absorption properties synthesized products can find a use in the preparation of the sun-protective materials and creams. Figure 1.

Agata Wrześniewska, Halina Kwiecień Department of Organic Synthesis and Drug Technology – West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin – 42 Piastów Ave. – Szczecin – POL [email protected] Reductive amination is the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with ammonia or primary/secondary amines in presence of a selective reducing agent. It is one of the most important tools in the synthesis of amines.[1] Our previous research has shown that the reductive amination of methyl 2-(2-formylphenoxy)alkanoates with hydrazine leads to the formation of corresponding primary amino esters, which immediately underwent cyclization to 1,4-benzoxazepin-3-ones.[2] 1,4-Benoxazepine derivatives are well-known as compounds possessing antidepressant or antihistaminic properties.[3] Here, we report the results of our study of direct reductive amination of methyl 2(2-formyl-4-nitrophenoxy)alkanoates 1 to the corresponding amino esters 3 via Schiff base intermediates 2, followed by the cyclization of the obtained amino esters to the 1,4-bnzoxazepin-3-ones 4. The reductive amination process was carried out at ambient temperature with use of sodium triacetoxyborohydride as the selective reducing agent and 1,2-dichloroethane as the solvent (Figure 1). The process of obtaining 1,4-benzoxazepin-3-ones by intramolecular cyclization of N-arylated amino esters 3 took several attempts using a variety solvents, catalysts, and different reaction times. Optimal results were achieved when the amino esters were heated for 6h at 200-205o C. All amino esters and 1,4-benzoxazepin-3-ones are new compounds and their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. Figure 1.

Mixed-valence and mixed metal compounds are extremly valuable systems for studying optically and thermally driven electron transfer reactions. We have been engaged in the synthesis of oligopeptides built from 1-aminoferrocene1’-carboxylic acid[1] which can be oxidized to mixed-valent ferrocene/ferrocenium peptides.[2,3] Unlike ET between chemically similar moieties, ET between chemically different building blocks is less well explored, even though dissimilar redox partners play a crucial role in many biological ET systems, e.g. in photosystem II where phenoxyl radicals in the form of tyrosyl radicals are one of the central redox sites between the special pair P680 and the oxygen evolving complex.[4] Interestingly, the formal redox potentials of the biologically relevant phenolate/phenoxyl pair and the organometallic ferrocene/ferrocenium pair can be very similar when using appropriate substituents. We have designed 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(2-ferrocenyl-carbamoyl)-phenol H-1, which, after deprotonation to 1− , provides the chemically very different redox centers phenolate and ferrocene with similar redox potentials.[2,3,5] A priori it is not obvious which redox site of the dissymmetric phenolate-ferrocene conjugate 1− will be oxidized in 1. (valence ambiguity). The behavior of this system was probed by cyclic voltammograms, UV/Vis/NIR, IR and EPR spectroscopy under oxidizing and alkaline conditions in different solvents. Density Functional Calculations were also performed in different solvents to interpret the findings. [1] K. Heinze, M. Schlenker, Eur. J. Inorg. Chem. 2004, 2974-2988. D. Siebler, M. Linseis, T.

Here, we present a promising route which enables us to access a new family of transition-metal substituted polyoxovanadate clusters through targeted syntheses with predictable outcome. A novel, chloride- templated dodecavanadate cluster featuring two hexagonal coordination sites was developed based our earlier work on cluster assembly under non-aqueous conditions.[3] The cluster is used as a molecular host for the binding of a wide range of transition metals whilst retaining the original cluster framework. The concept is closely related to the classical use of organic ligands, allowing us to consider the dodecavanadate cluster as stable, purely inorganic ligands. The modification of the physical properties and electronic and magnetic structure of transition-metal substituted clusters are explored and selective metal substitution will be employed for the development of stable and highly active molecular catalysts.

M. Curie-Sklodowskiej 3, 20-031 – Lublin – POL [email protected] Multi-component inorganic/organic composites have attracted great interest as a new class of porous solids with potential application in gas separation, catalysis, drug delivery systems or host for inclusion compounds. The silica gel is considered to be a fascinating and interesting material for many applications due to its porous internal structure and morphological characteristics. Therefore, the use of silica gel as fillers is growing in particular due to the silanol groups presence on its surface which make it easily modifiable with different functional groups. One can easily observe the development made in recent years in the areas of polymer science, biomaterials, composite systems, and other related fields which has resulted in great medical and pharmaceutical progress. Particular significance is the progress that has been made in the areas of the controlled drug delivery systems. The undoubted advantage of these systems is the sustained release of a drug at a therapeutic level over the long period of time. As a consequence, the dosing frequency can be considerably reduced without losing of effectiveness of therapeutic activity. Therefore, a much attention and efforts are devoted to prepare a new materials which could be used in the controlled drug delivery systems. It was demonstrated that the release of the drugs out of polymer-based carrier systems can be achieved by controlling a simple diffusion process.[1] However, the effectiveness of such delivery systems, is limited by the e.g. stability, porosity or biocompatibility of the carriers network. Therefore, by using the polymer-silica composites as a drug carrier matrix the formation of an appropriate porosity and an improvement of stability of the polymeric network can be achieved. In this paper we present the polymer-silica composite which can serve as a carrier in drug release system. The composite was synthesised by the method which consist in swelling of preformed porous polymer particles in tetraethoxysilane TEOS.[2,3] It has been shown that this composite exhibits a relatively high porosity within both the polymer and silica component. Because of an interaction between the system components during the swelling and the condensation of SiO2 in polymer matrix, the diffusion of the drug is significantly limited and can be controlled. We demonstrate the profiles of naproxen release and report on the composite system characteristics through porosity, TEM, SEM and NMR studies. [1] A. Bernkop-Schnürch, S. Scholler, R.

Mickiewicza 30 – Kracow – POL [email protected] Introduction For the last 30 years, porphyrazines (Pzs) substituted at their β-positions with nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur residues have been synthesized and subjected to various physicochemical as well as biological studies.[1] Pzs have been investigated as potential photosensitizers for biomedical, analytical applications, and as compounds for materials chemistry.[2] Although, there are many examples of Pzs containing peripherally annulated heteroarene rings[3] , there are limited data on Pzs substituted directly at their β-position with five-membered heteroaromatic rings.[4,5] Results and Discussion In the course of our research, novel Pzs containing peripheral 2,5-dimethylpyrrol-1-yl and dimethylamino groups were synthesized, purified and characterized using NMR and X-ray crystallography. Spectroscopic studies performed on Pzs encompassed steady state absorption and emission measurements, fluorescence decays, femtosecond transient absorption spectra and thermoluminescence. Moreover, the potential photosensitizing activity of novel Pzs was evaluated by measuring their ability for singlet oxygen production using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran. Fluorescent properties of the Pzs studied were typical for porphyrinoids with very low dipole moment. Time resolved fluorescence studies revealed a significant difference of fluorescence decays between metallated and free-base Pzs as well as a dependence of excited-state lifetime on a particular metal ion. Transient absorption measurements carried out in a 2 ns temporal window with femtosecond temporal resolution do not indicate any excited-state processes other than energy relaxation and intersystem crossing. Thermoluminescence measurements showed that Pzs containing Mg, Zn or Fe ions in THF are able to stabilize metastable states under short (a half-width of about 4 µs) saturating flash. This effect vanished in samples dissolved in pyridine. [1] S.L.J. Michel, B.M. Hoffman, S.M. Baum, A.G.M. Barrett Progress in Inorganic Chemistry; Karlin K.D., Ed., J.

These two isomers have different chemical and physical properties. The change of the properties can be useful in various photonic devices.[1] A very important photochromic switch is the well-investigated azo-group. The azoswitch changes its properties by irradiation due to a change of the configuration, a E-Z photoisomerisation (Fig.1). The E -isomer is planar and elongated, the Z -isomer is bent and more compact.[2] In our working group we investigate the interaction of paramagnetic oligonuclear metallocene derivatives[3] in particular azo-bridged paramagnetic metallocenes. Our target is to link two paramagnetic metallocenes with an azo-bridge. Due to the configurationally change of the bridge the magnetic exchange coupling J 1,2 (Fig.1a) could change significantly between two paramagnetic cobaltocene moieties and, thus, changes the magnetic properties of the whole molecule as well. On the way to the azo-cobaltocene novel functionalized cobaltocenium cations could be synthesized in several steps (Fig.1b). Figure 1. a) E-Z photoisomerisation of the azo-switch b) Key compounds on the way to the azo-cobaltocene [1] M. Irie, Chem. Rev. 2000, 100, 1685-1716. [2] M. Kurihara, H. Nishihara, Coord. Chem.

By contrast BiIII compounds often show distinct Lewis acidic properties, especially if electronegative ligands, X, are bound.[2] The σ-donor behavior of electron rich transition metal ions towards unsaturated Lewis acidic main group elements has been demonstrated some time ago, and very recently also compounds have been reported, where transition metal complex fragments act as donors for saturated Lewis acidic centers like SiIV , SnIV and SbV .[3] Such interactions are also conceivable for Bi centers and the possibility to influence the reactivity and catalytic activity (selectivity) of a late-metal complex by Lewis acidic bismuth moieties appears highly attractive. However, closed-shell M-Bi interactions, for M representing a late transition metal, are still virtually unexplored. To stabilize complexes exhibiting such metallic contacts with pronounced MBi character, we have developed an ambiphilic ligand system, where a Lewis acidic Bi–X unit is combined with two Lewis basic phosphane donor functions that may serve to place the Bi atom close to a transition metal center. After the successful synthesis of such PBiP pincer ligands, we have tested their potential to establish MBi interactions for d8 -configurated PtII characterized by a filled Lewis basic d2z orbital, and for AuI , since the latter can be expected to lead to large relativistic effects. We report on the results of our efforts that led to complexes incorporating strong PtBi and AuBi interactions.[4] [1] a) S. Roggan, C. Limberg, Inorg. Chim. Acta. 2006, 359, 4698-4722; b) H.

The organic coatings protect the nanoparticles against aggregation, control its growth and give them the capability to work as receptors for biomolecules. Luminescent nanoparticles are an important class of novel functional materials because they open a way to use the luminescence of inorganic compounds within an organic environment. Inorganic compounds doped with lanthanide ions are widely used as the luminescent materials in lighting, protecting and tracing techniques, as well as displays, optical amplifiers, and lasers.[1,2] These modifications can be applied in a hybrid type of nanomaterials, so called core/shell nanostructures.[3] The doped lanthanide fluorides as core nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple coprecipitation process, then covered with silica and modified with amine groups. Further organic modification was performed using carboxylic acid chloride. The successful reaction between amine and carboxylic acid was confirmed by FT-IR. The structure and morphology of the obtained nano-composites were examined with TEM (Transmission electron microscopy) and powder X-ray diffraction. Spectroscopic properties of nanomaterials were studied by measuring their excitation and emission spectra as well as their luminescence decay curves.

Krasnicka 102 – Lublin – POL [email protected] The Cu(I)-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) is one of the best methods for connecting building blocks containing various functional groups by covalent bounds and it is commonly applied in organic synthesis, surface and polymer chemistry or medicinal chemistry.[1] This reaction is known as an extremely fast and effective click reaction for bioconjugation. However, Cu(I) has undesirable cytoxicity even at low concentrations.[2] Alternative to CuAAC is the strain-promoted alkyneazide cycloaddition (SPAAC) between cyclooctyne and azide. The use of SPAAC for bio-conjugation was first described by Bertozzi and coworkers in 2004.[3] In an attempt to develop a new method for the incorporation of metallocarbonyl labels into biomolecules, we synthesized a metallocarbonyl cyclooctyne derivative which can undergo highly efficient SPAAC reaction with azide or other 1,3-dipolar compounds. Metallocarbonyl complexes display specific IR absorption bands assigned to the stretching vibrations of carbonyl ligands occurring in the range of 1850 to 2150 cm−1 , which is usually free from absorption bands of biomolecules. Thus they can be applied as IRdetectable markers for the monitoring of biochemical processes such as ligand-receptor or antigen-antibody interactions.[4] [1] J. E. Hein, V. V. Fokin, Chem. Soc.

Apart from modified porphyrins, other tetrapyrroles like phthalocyanine, porphycene and corrole have been used in this regard.[2] In comparison to the well-known tetrapyrroles porphyrin and corrole, 10-isocorrole (short: isocorrole) beares a disubstituted 10-meso position (Fig. 1). Therefore it exhibits characteristics of porphyrin (dianionic character) and corrole (smaller cavity), but contains a non-aromatic, electronically distinct ligand backbone.[3] In this poster the metal-templated synthesis of Nickel- and Palladium alkylisocorroles is presented. Further strategies towards biomimetic heme analogs of the isocorrole type are demonstrated. Fig 1: Core-structures of porphyrin, isocorrole and corrole. [1] Y. Lu, S. M. Berry, T. D. Pfister, Chem.

MPcs enjoy many applications in fields such as non-linear optics chemical sensors, semiconductors, liquid crystals and catalysis.[1] The increasing importance and use of phthalocyanines as advanced materials have created impetus for design variables of the central metal ion and peripheral substituents to reach the desired properties.[2] In the present study, complexation on the periphery to obtain pentanuclear complex has been accomplished through the reaction of the phthalocyanine carrying salicylideneimino ligating groups with zinc (II) complex of 8-hydroxyquinoline. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis FTIR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis and mass spectra. [1] G. K. Karaoglan, G. Gumrukcu, A. Koca, A.

In this report our study of their transformations in water under different conditions is presented. Screening of the reaction conditions[2] for one-pot three-stage selective synthesis of 2-pyrons 6 we found that in the presence of acid the desired compounds 6 are formed as a main product of the reaction and 2-pyridones 7 as by-products.[3] Interestingly, that in pure water the transformation of the salts 4 has changed its direction towards 3-cyano-2-pyridones 8. This method for synthesis of 8 is more simple then our previous one,[4] and allowed us to understand some aspects of the reaction mechanism. Since the direct hydrolysis of a cyano group requires much more vigorous reaction conditions than the applied for the hydrolysis of salts 1, we believe that both products 6 and 7 are formed via intermediate 2-iminopyrans 5. This suggestion was confirmed by quantum chemical calculations using DFT B3LYP/aug-cc-pvdz method. Synthesis of the salts 4 and their transformations in water [1] S. A. Yermolayev, N. Yu.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) active materials play a very important role for this enhancement, but to increase the application range it is necessary to optimize the NLOphores, especially in terms of response time and size of the examined NLO-effect.[1] Besides examining dendritic structures[2] we are directed towards so-called “3D-NLOphores” which are based on a 1,3,5-trisubstituted benzene ring coordinated to a cationic cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium unit serving as an acceptor, metallocenes fulfill the donor function. Their NLO-activity has already been successfully characterized using Hyper-RayleighScattering (e.g. compound A)[3] , our ongoing research now focusses on tuning this effect (quantified by the value β0 ) by expanding the π-electron-system, varying the metal centers, the substitution pattern of acceptor and donor function, and the counter ion (compound B). The expansion of the π-electron-system should be achieved by the introduction of ethinylbridges. To prevent observed undesired C-C-cleavage processes[4] we needed to investigate different synthetic routes for example including Hiyama-, Sonogashiraand Stille-cross coupling reactions. We are presenting the different results of these approaches and the characterization of the new ethinylferrocene-substituted complex [RuCp(C6 H3 (C ≡ C − F c)3 )]+ . [1] N. J. Long, Angew.

The use of Raney nickel together with hydrazine hydrate as a source of molecular hydrogen allowed for considerable shortening of the hydrogenation time. As the resulted amines 4 were usually insoluble in water, the diazotization was carried out in solid phase using the microwave method (MAOS). The preliminary biological tests showed that some of the final products 5 had cytotoxic activity in cell-based bioassays.[1] The cytotoxicity mechanism may be connected with the compounds ability either to complex metal ions present at the active sites of proteins or to bond with the nucleic base pairs. Thus, the simulation of complexation with magnesium ions was performed for compound 5b (B) on this account.[2] Moreover, the theoretical calculations (long range DFT- B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), and QTAIM methods), using the Gaussian G09 program, showed the ability of compound 5b to form strong and weak hydrogen bonds with guanine, cytosine,[3] as well as uridine (C).

The considerable part of growing applications of CuAAC includes modifications of nucleosides and oligonucleotides. Therefore, more and more attention is paid to the synthesis of specifically designed analogues of nucleosides that may be used as reagents for 1,3-dipolar Huisgen cycloaddition. In order to take advantage of CuAAC as a powerful chemical strategy of joining our analogues of nucleotides with different entities we synthesized the C-phosphonate analogue of N7 -methyl-guanosine-5’-monophosphate with 4-butynyl substituent (m7 GppC4 H5 ; Fig.1a). Both the presence of terminal alkyne and excellent solubility make it a good substrate for click reaction with azide-modified molecules. Having synthesized m7 GppC4 H5 , we ligated it in a simple click reaction to azidemodified fluorescent dyes (Fig.1c) and magnetic nanoparticles. The former compounds would enable biologists to visualize biomolecules interacting with their nucleic part whereas the latter conjugates might be found applicable to modern technics of the affinity chromatography. In order to explore whether triazole ring could mimic phosphate moiety, we have synthesized dinucleotide cap analogue with triazole ring within 5’-5’ phosphate bridge (Fig.1b). It may serve as a tool for selective inhibition or activation of the processes in which cap structure is involved i.e. mRNA maturation, intracellular transport, translation and degradation.

Insights into the mechanism of this transformation were gained by isolating and characterizing an intermediate diarylpalladium(II) complex (Fig. 1 B) that consists of a palladacycle connecting both aromatic rings.[2] This complex undergoes facile conversion to carbazole and palladium(0) and was shown to be catalytically active for the oxidative cyclization of diarylamines. Its isolation was possible by the twofold chelation with coordinating, ortho-directing substituents at the diarylamine. Characterization of this new class of palladium(II) complexes offers an understanding of the mechanism of direct C–H-activation and reductive elimination. Figure 1.

Because of new regulations most of the current used flame retardants are evaluated because of their toxicity and their environmental impact. Also by adding particular additive flame retardants to a polymer the mechanical properties are most times negetively affected. One of these properties is the transparancy of a polymer, e.g. polycarbonate, which normally will be very negatively affected by using an particular additive flame retardant. Therefore, nonhazardous flame retardants with good compatibillity to the polymer needs to be investigated. By introducing Hexaphenoxycyclotriphosphazen (1) as a particalur flame retardant to protect polycarbonate it is possible to obtain a trasparent material while using a particular, nonhazardous additive. The investigated concentrations of 1 in polycarbonate are 0, 1, 2, 5 and 10 mass%. The mechanical properties of the protected polymer, tenacity, tensile elongation, dynamic mechanical analysis, Charpy impact and transparency were characterized. The flame retardancy was evaluated with LOI and the UL94 test and shows, even with the big differnce of the decomposition temperature of 1 and polycarbonate, a very promising effect.

A key step in the synthesis is lithiation of isoindolinone (1) using sec-buthyllithium in tetrahydrofuran followed by a reaction of the generated lithiated species with diethyl vinylphosphonate (for products 2a) or diethyl(3-bromopropyl)phosphonate (for products 2b).

Azomethine bond (CH=N) incorporated into the molecular structure cause increase the length and polarizability anisotropy of the molecular core in order to enhance liquid crystal phase stability. We present synthesis and the liquid crystalline properties of the series of 4-(4-alkoxybenzylideneamino)azobenzenes. The synthesis were carried out in a two-step process. The starting 4-alkyloxybenzaldehydes were obtained in the usual way by the reaction of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with the appropriate n-alkylbromide. 4-(4-Alkoxybenzylideneamino)azobenzenes were prepared by the condensation of the corresponding aldehydes with 4-aminoazobenzene using a microwave oven (PLAZMATRONICA RM800). The use of such reaction conditions, compared to classical heating, reveals several features like: better selectivity, shorter reaction time and easier of work-up after reaction. All final products were purified by chromatography on silica gel with chloroform as an eluent and characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectroscopy. The mesophases of the 4-(4-alkoxybenzylideneamino)azobenzenes were studied by polarizing optical microscope (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Investigated compounds exhibit nematic, smectic A and smectic B mesophases. We will discuss the influence of an alkyl chain length on the mesophase sequence. 244 Saturday 9:00 - 11:30 Poster 187 Synthesis and structure of the first vanadium complex with the Schiff base of salicylaldehyde and aminoguanidine Mirjana Lalović, Marko Rodić, Ljiljana Vojinović-Ješić, Vukadin Leovac Faculty of Sciences – University of Novi Sad – Trg Dositeja Obradovića 3 – Novi Sad – SRB [email protected] The great interest in vanadium coordination chemistry in the context of medical applications has arisen from the ability of vanadium complexes to promote the insulin mimetic activity in the treatment of human Diabetes mellitus. Despite the fact that aminoguanidine (AG) shows wide range of pharmacological activity, vanadium complexes with its Schiff bases are still unknown. Besides, only a few complexes of salicylidene-aminoguanidine (SalAG) have been synthesized, so it seems worthwhile to examine the synthesis and characteristics of the new ones. Here we present the synthesis and structure of the ligand SalAG·HNO3 and its complex with dioxidovanadium(V). Single crystals of the ligand are obtained in the reaction of the ethanolic solutions of the aminoguanidine hydrogennitrate and salicylaldehyde in the presence of the acetic acid, while the reaction of ammoniacal solutions of the ligand and NH4 VO3 resulted in formation of single crystals of the complex [VO2 (SalAG−H)]. In this complex, SalAG is coordinated, as a monoanion, in a tridentate ONN mode, via oxygen atom of phenolic hydroxyl and nitrogen atoms of azomethine and imino groups of the aminoguanidine fragment. Vanadium atom is situated in almost ideal square-pyramidal environment (τ = 0.032), with the anion of the chelate ligand and one oxido-ligand in the basal plane and the other oxido-ligand in the apical position.

Those kind of molecules have potential as liquid crystals, nonlinear optical materials as well as building blocks for robust graphite-like carbon networks.[1] Encouraged by interesting structural, and potential properties of such compounds, and based on the work done on polyhalogenated pyridines before,[2] a series of new tetraalkynylpyridines were efficiently synthesized using multiple Sonogashira reaction protocol. After symmetrical tertraalkynyl compounds 1 were obtained via tetrafold Sonogashira coupling, we optimized reaction conditions in order to reach selectivity. As a result, dialkynylpyridine derivatives 2 were easily synthesized, which in fact, served as important starting point for making molecules 3 with mixed acetylene moieties. In order to get insights into the impact of substituents in 4-position of the pyridine core, we studied the absorption and emission properties of the synthesized tetraalkynylpyridines and already reported pentaalkynylpyridines.[2] Pentaalkynylpyridines absorb and emit at lower energies and possess higher quantum yields than tetraalkynylpyridines. While a sterically demanding isopropoxygroup in the 4-position leads to the highest blue shift of the absorption and emission bands as well as low quantum yields. This effect is based on a poorer conjugation caused by steric repulsion of the functional groups. Figure 1. Synthesis of products 1-3. [1] (a) U. H. F. Bunz, Y. Rubin, Y. Tobe, Chem. Soc.

Orabona 4 – Bari – ITA [email protected] Organic carbonates (RO)2 CO (R = alkyl, aryl), nowadays available through phosgeneless routes even on an industrial scale,[1] are arousing greater interest as environmentally friendly carbonylating agents.[2] Very little is known about their utilization in carbonylation reactions of N-heteroaromatic compounds HetNH to HetNCO2 R (R = alkyl, aryl) derivatives (eqn (1)), which are important synthetic intermediates for the preparation of a variety of chemicals,[3] including pharmaceutically relevant substances and biologically active compounds. HetN H + (RO)2 CO → HetN CO2 R + ROH (1) In this report we present a selective method for N-carbonylation of N-heteroaromatics HetNH, such as pyrrole (1), indole (2) and carbazole (3), by a direct reaction with diphenyl carbonate (DPC; eqn (1), R = Ph), used as environmental friendly carbonyl active species in place of toxic and hazardous phosgene.[4] The carbonylation reaction can be effectively catalyzed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec7-ene (DBU), which can act as a base catalyst by activating the HetNH substrate to the more nucleophilic HetN− anion, and as a nucleophile catalyst by activating the organic carbonate trough the formation of ketene aminal phenyl 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-6-ene-8-carboxylate.[5] The influence of reaction parameters (temperature, reaction time, DBU load, DPC/HetNH molar ratio) on the productivity of the process has been also investigated. The synthetic methodology does not require severe temperature conditions, is solventless, simple (only one step), efficient (high yield) and selective, and offers a new solution to the synthesis of synthetically versatile HetNCO2 Ph derivatives through a route alternative to the current traditional phosgenation methods.

As a consequence, it leads to the death of the treated tissue.[1] Here we present our data on the synthesis of porphyrazines and tribenzoporphyrazines containing styryldiazepine rings. Condensation reactions of known dicyanodiazepins with 3,4,5-trimetoxybenzaldehyde and 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarbaldehyde led to the novel 1,4-diazepine-2,3-dicarbonitriles containing arylvinyl substituents. However, only diazepines with 3,4,5-trimetoxyphenyl groups subjected to macrocyclization reactions gave the desired macrocycles of sufficient stability.[2,3] Novel macrocyclic compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic methods and extensively investigated in photochemical studies. Moreover, their photodynamic activity was examined in vitro using two human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, HSC-3 cells derived from the tongue and H413 cells from the buccal mucosa. Magnesium tribenzoporphyrazine (Pz1) revealed high activity against cancer cells even at low concentrations and low light dose. Moreover, significantly higher cytotoxicity of Pz1 was observed after its incorporation into negatively charged liposomes (figure). [1] R.R. Allison, C.H. Sibata, Photodiagn. Photodyn.

Piastów 42 – Szczecin – POL [email protected] The literature review has shown that InVO4 –SrO system and reactions taking place in this system in the solid state in air have not been subject of research before our investigations. The properties of the components of the InVO4 –SrO system are well known.[1, 2] The compound InVO4 is formed in the V2 O5 –In2 O3 system and it melts incongruently depositing solid In2 O3 at 1135 ◦ C.[3] The indium(III) ortovanadate(V) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Cmcm.[4] There exist three polymorphic forms of InVO4 .[5] InVO4 was found to be a visible light driven photocatalyst for H2 evolution from pure water.[1] Strontium oxide crystallizes in the cubic system, space group Fm3m.[6] SrO is promising as catalyst for the transesterification of soybean oil to biodiesel.[2] The aim of this research was, first of all, to investigate whether the reaction between InVO4 and SrO yields new phase. For the experiments were prepared eight samples with their compositions representing the whole components concentrations range of the system under consideration. Weighed in suitable proportions reactants were homogenized and calcinated in the temperature range from 450 to 900 ◦ C in 24 h stages. After each heating stage XRD examination was performed and selected samples were additionally subjected to DTA/TG investigation. The phase compositions of samples after the final heating stage have shown that InVO4 with SrO react in the solid state in air giving among other a new compound. However, they indicated that the SrO content in the new compound is ∼ 50.00 mol%. On the base of XRD phase analysis of the all investigated samples, the two component system InVO4 –SrO was divided into five subsidiary subsystems. The investigations are continued, first of all, in order to establish the formula of new compound. [1] J. Ye, Z. Zou, M. Oshikiri, A. Matsushita, M. Shimoda, M. Imai, T. Shisido, Chem. Phys.

Hence, catalysts have been developed to selectively oxidize CO to the less harmful CO2 , and these are often based on noble metals like gold.[1] In nature enzymatic systems do exist which utilize nickel centers for the reversible conversion of CO to CO2 , namely carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODH). Here water serves as the oxygen source, and during the reaction electrons as well as protons are produced concomitantly. Setting out with low coordinated β-diketiminato nickel carbonyl compounds[2] and bearing the CODH reactivity in mind we were interested to investigate the reactivity of a nickel(0) carbonyl complex against oxidizing reagents. As this complex is highly sensitive towards hydrolysis, experiments employing water as the oxygen source (as the enzyme) excluded themselves, though. Considering that CO oxidation requires one O atom (formally H2 O → [O] + 2e− + 2H + ) we have chosen N2 O as the O atom source, which has received increasing attention as an intriguing reagent for oxidations during the last decades.[3] As an alternative oxidant O2 has been employed successfully, too. Here we describe the first precedent case of an oxidation of carbonyl ligands bound to low oxidation state nickel centers by both, N2 O and O2 , under formation of a unique carbonate compound, K6 [LtBu N i(CO3 )]6 , which was fully characterized.[4] [1] H.-J.

In this reaction very stable 1,2,3-triazole ring is formed, which have very interesting application in medicine or biotechnology.[2] We applied ’click’ approach to prepare sulfur and oxygen containing macrocyclic systems with built-in 1,2,3-triazole rings. We obtained compounds A, B, C with very good yields. The oligomer C contains the Cookson’s ’birdcage’ moiety which increases its lipophilicity. It might be interesting to test possibility of our compounds to complex ions of metals of group I and II periodic table or also ions of metals of transitional groups. [1] J. L. Atwood, J. W.

Ferrocene, one of the metallocenes, is the most widely investigated organometallic compound. It is a redox active, stable in biological media and nontoxic molecule. Ferrocene has shown only slight cytotoxic activity, whereas when conjugated with biologically active compounds it provides some promising anticancer agents. In recent years many ferrocenyl compounds have been prepared which have exhibited significant cytotoxicity[1,2] and anti-malarial activities[3] . Microtubules are noncovalent polymers of the protein tubulin that are found in all dividing eucariotic cells and in most differentiated cell types. Chemicals that target microtubules distrupt and suppreses the function by inhibiting or promoting microtubule polimerization.[4] Plinabulin 1 is a potent microtubule-targeting agent derived from the natural diketopiperazine “phenylahistin” 2. Plinabulin is now under phase II clinical trials as an anticancer drug.[5] We have synthesized ferrocenyl analogs of plinabulin (e.g. 3 and 4) of exhibiting potent microtubule depolymerization and highly cytotoxic.

To achieve our objective we performed reactions of triazolopyridines 1 with dipolarophiles (ethyl acrilate, ethyl propiolate and DMAD) (Scheme 1). In the case of ethyl acrilate reactions we obtained the corresponding pyridyl ciclopropanes 2 by the formation of the corresponding pyridyl carbene.[3] However, in the cases of ethyl propiolate and DMAD, pirazoyl pyridines 3 were obtained demonstrating that a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction from the open form of triazolopyridine can take place.

Thus, the obtain good yields within shorter reaction time as well as higher selectivity both microwave irradiation and ultrasound assisted procedures were used in the preparation of mono- and disubstituted ethers of 4,4-biphenol and 4,4’-thiobiphenol.[1] In conclusion, we hope that the application microwaves and ultrasound irradiation is a very promising innovation and may stimulate further progress in the etherification of biphenols in comparison to conventional methodologies.[2] Moreover, it should be mentioned that a number of compounds under study show liquid crystalline properties.

To the best of our knowledge there is only one paper in which enantioselective method for preparation of such compounds is described.[3] In our preliminary studies we developed a simple method for synthesis of rac-β-NHR-α-CF3 alcohols 2 starting with α-iminoketones 1.[4] In crucial step, the chemoselective addition of RPR to the C=O, followed by simultaneous reduction of C=N bond and desilylation, is performed. Some successful attempts of enantioselective reactions of Ruppert’s reagents with aldehydes and ketones are already reported.[5] Additions of RPR to 1 were carried out in the presence of catalytic system (8R,9S)- or (8S,9R)-3/KF or K2CO3 and they led chemoselectively to trimethylsilylethers. The latter compounds were converted into final products 2 in high overall yields (80-90%). However, the observed ee values remained low to moderate (30-70%). The ee values were determined based on the 1H or 19F NMR spectra registered for products 3 in the presence of (S)-(t-butyl)phenylthiophosphinic acid ((S)-4) used as chiral solvating agent.

Sandwich-type porphyrinato and/or phthalocyaninato complexes, in which two planar and parallel conjugated p-systems are held in close proximity by lanthanide metal cation between the two macro-tetrapyrrole rings, have been intensively studied over several decades in both fundamental academic and applied fields.[1,2] They are extensively used in printing inks, coatings, paints and plastics as blues and greens pigments. The phthalocyanines find use also in catalyst for control of sulfur effluents, lasers, lubricants, photography reagents for cancer therapy, optical information storage systems, photography and xerography, high energy density batteries, chemical sensors, electrochoromic display devices and liquid crystal colour display applications.[3-5] In this study, we report the synthesis and characterization of different substituted phthalocyaninato sandwich-type rare earth complexes. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV, FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectra. The effect of the solvents and metal on the photophysical and photochemical parameters of the metallophthalocyanines are also reported. [1] C. C. Leznoff, A. B. P.

Furthermore, these π-conjugated organometallic compounds are qualified to design innovative electro-active materials like semiconducting polymers or molecular wires. The ferrocenyl moiety is a very promising candidate for using it as a redox-active group with a good stability in the neutral and in the oxidized state, enabling electrochemical reversible one-electron transfer processes.[1,2] Within this presentation, the synthesis, properties and spectroelectrochemical studies of ferrocenyl-substituted thiophenes (type A and B molecules) are reported.

Synthetic routes to symmetrical Pcs are relatively straightforward, starting from the appropriately substituted phthalonitrile. However, unsymmetrical Pcs containing different substituents in the benzo rings are more difficult to obtain. In addition these compounds provide the properties that can be used in advanced materials’ applications such as in particular non-linear optical properties.[1,2] Then the enormous diversity of phthalocyanine - containing polymers, developed over thirty years of research, and offers the prospect of readily processed materials.[3] Recently, 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, from the reactions between alkynes and azides known as, “click reactions”, have been recognized as a useful synthetic methodology due to their being fast, quantitative, reproducible, resistant to side reactions and highly tolerant to reaction conditions. In this study we aimed that the synthesis of asymmetric phthalocyanine-containing polymers. For this purpose, firstly novel unsymmetrical terminalalkynyl substituted zinc phthalocyanine will be synthesized from new 4-pent-4-ynyloxy-phthalonitrile and 4-tert-butylphthalonitrile using statistical condensation method. Then, ‘click’ reactions between azido-terminated polystyrene (PS) or poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) and alkynyl-terminated zinc phthalocyanine will yield Pc functional polymers. All compounds will be characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, GPC and elemental analysis. [1] F. Matemadombo, M. Durmus, C. Togo, J. Limson, T.

Incorporation of fluorine atoms or perfluoroalkyl groups into the structure of organic molecules results in significant changes in their physical, chemical and biological properties.[1] (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (so-called Ruppert’s-Prakash Reagent, RPR) is one of the most convenient reagent used to nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of electrophilic subtrates.[2] The goal of presented study is to elaborate new, simple procedure for synthesis of β-amino-β-(trifluoromethyl) alcohols of type 2 using easily available α-iminoketones 1 and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane. There are described in literature many methods for preparation of β-amino-α-(trifluoromethyl) alcohols.[3] Relatively less papers concern preparation of β-amino-α-(trifluoromethyl) alcohols. They are based on exploration of difficult available trifluoronitroethane or N,S-ketals of trifluoropyruvaldehydes.[4] In the key step of our procedure additions of RPR to 1 were performed in the presence of in situ generated HF (from KF or KHF2) what allowed for activation of C=N bond. In optimised conditions adducts 2 were the main products. Further reduction of 2 led to desired aminoalcohols 3 with very good diastereoselectivity.

We studied reactions of two classes of palladium carboxylate compounds - binary carboxylates [P d(RCO2 )2 ]n and nitrosyl carboxylates P d4 (N O)2 (RCO2 )6 - with acetonitrile in some common organic solvents. Binary carboxylates are a basic class of palladium carboxylate complexes and nitrosyl carboxylates were chosen due to potential multifunctionality of nitrosyl groups. For instance, earlier it was shown that N Ox -species promote transfer of oxygen and reoxidation of palladium in catalytic processes. It was found that reaction of palladium acetate P d3 (µ-CH3 CO2 )6 with acetonitrile in benzene leads to formation of binuclear complex of palladium(II) P d2 (C6 H4 -oC(CH3 )=N H)2 (µ-CH3 CO2 )2 , which contains coordinated 1-phenylethanimine that forms as a result of C-C-coupling between nitrile and arene molecules. Reactions of polynuclear nitrosyl carboxylate complexes P d4 (N O)2 (RCO2 )6 of palladium(II) with acetonitrile in acetone in the presence of water lead to formation of complexes P d5 (µN O)(µ-C6 H11 CO2 )7 (µ, µ-CH3 C(=N )OC(=N )CH3 ) and P d5 (µ-N O)(µ-N O2 ) (µCM e3 CO2 )6 (µ, µ-CH3 C(=N )OC(=N )CH3 ), which are the first palladium complexes containing coordinated acetimidic anhydride.

Amino acid ionic liquids are an alternative to ionic liquids, based solely on petrochemical raw materials. Amino Acid Ionic Liquids derived from biorenewable raw materials are more biocompatible, because of greater biodegradability in the environment and lower toxicity (ecotoxicity and cytotoxicity). The synthesis, identification and physical properties of didecyldimethylammonium salts of L amino acids were presented. Identification was based on 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS analyses. The physical properties of new chiral ionic liquids, for example the density, viscosity, surface tension, specific rotation, water content, thermal stability (TG) and phase transformations (DSC) were determined. Didecyldimethylammonium salts of L-amino acids salts were soluble in water and were also characterized by surface tension, critical micelle concentration and stabillity in alkaline and acid solution.

It has a distinct mode of action, not observed for the other inhibitors, being a competitive and reversible AChEI; an allosteric modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors improving their functioning by helping the release of ACh; and modulates the levels of other neurotransmitters involved in dementia: glutamate, serotonin and GABA. The inhibiting properties of galanthamine are considered quite modest, but its multiple actions make it one of the most efficient AD therapy drug. It was observed in numerous cases that long treatment with galanthamine produces many side effects (eg. nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, etc.) causing treatment disruption. AD patients are dependent of continuous administration of AChEI to have day-to-day functioning and maximize their quality of life as much as possible. A way to overcome the side-effects of a neuroactive drug is to ensure a brain targeted transport to the active site mediated by a carrier. One such chemical delivery system towards brain was developed by Bodor[1] and is based on dihydropyridine–pyridinium redox couple. The neuroactive drug is covalently linked to a dihydropyridine moiety that plays the role of a lipoidal carrier towards brain. Dihydropyridine is an unstable and chemically fragile moiety. We developed a new stable and assertive chemical delivery system based on a dihydroquinoline–quinolinium redox couple.[2,3] We applied this system to galanthamine, as schematically represented below. This transformation represents a valuable drug modification strategy which increases the chances of a site-specific and sustained delivery of galanthamine inside brain. Dihydroquinoline moiety will ensure the transport of the drug to the central nervous system through the lipophilic blood brain barrier (BBB) by passive diffusion. Then oxidation into a charged quinolinium salt will prevent the system to cross back the BBB again. Enzymatic cleavage will liberate galanthamine to target directly the AChE implied in AD followed by its normal metabolism and clearance. Liberation of the drug just inside the brain will lead to lower drug doses and less undesirable side effects. [1] L. Prokai, K. Prokai-Tatrai, N. Bodor, Med. Res. Rev. 2000, 20, 367-416. L.

Due to the high electron correlation it could be not longer accurate to describe the electron gas by traditional Fermi liquid theory. For example, the inherent instabilities of 1D electronic systems, like Peierls instabilities, can entail the formation of charge and spin density waves, moreover the systems may exhibit Luttinger liquid behavior. The goal of our work is to elucidate these phenomena by the means of optical methods, such as reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS). Metal nanowire model systems involve noble metal, In or Pb nanowires on vicinal Si or Ge surfaces. One particular interesting system is Pb on Si(557), where the adsorption of approximately 1.3 monolayers of Pb onto the clean Si(557) surface induces a reorganization of the surface structure. The clean Si(557) surface consists of (111) oriented terraces and (112) oriented steps. After the adsorption of Pb low energy electron dispersion patterns and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show an evenly stepped surface decorated with distant Pb nanowires. At low temperatures (< 78 K) this system shows almost exclusively electronic conductivity parallel to the steps. Increasing the temperature above this temperature causes a phase transition and enables conductivity perpendicular to the wires. A reordering of the surface induces a change in the electronic properties and with this also in the dielectric function. Hence, in this clearly anisotropic system it is possible to apply RAS, in connection with density functional theory based calculations, to study the anisotropic optical transitions in the surface band structure. By comparing the RAS spectra of the clean Si(557) surface with the Pb covered surface it is possible to identify signals belonging to adsorption induced states. Furthermore, by carrying out temperature dependant measurements it can be possible to observe the appearance of new anisotropic transitions below 78 K, indicating a change in the surface band structure of the system, as well as changes in the optical conductance behavior accompanying the phase transition.

Marii Curie-Sklodowskiej 2 – Lublin – POL – Lublin – POL [email protected] The structure and thermodynamics of formation of mixed micelles is of great theoretical interest. Micelles are also often present and often integrally involved in practical processes. For example, in a small pore volume surfactant flooding process (sometimes called micellar floding), the solution injected into an oil field generally contains 5-12 weight % surfactant and the surfactant is predominately in micellar form in the reservoir water. In detergency, solubilization can be important, so micelles are generally present in the detergent solution. In micellar – enhanced ultrafiltration, a separation technique to remove dissolved organic from water, micelles effect the separation. The Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) is the lowest surfactant concentration at which micelles form – the lower the CMC, the greater the tendency of a system to form micelles. When the total fraction of surfactant equals the CMC, an infinitesimal fraction of surfactant is present as micelles. [1] W.B. Gogarty, J. Pet. Technol. 1983, 35, 1581. K.

Interaction between polymers and surfactants influence different properties of these products, e.g. stability, flow properties, phase behavior etc.[1-3] In this work, influence of shear rate on flow properties of a mixture of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), a nonionic associative polymer, and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), an anionic surfactant was investigated. Binary mixtures composed of 0.70% wt. HPMC and SDS concentration ranging from 0.00% to 2.00% wt. were prepared in deionized water and in 0.01M NaCl. Rheological properties of the mixtures were examined by determining the steady state viscosity under different shear rates. At low shear rates, HPMC and SDS mixtures show Newtonian plateau where viscosity is independent on shear rate. On further increase in shear rate, a typical shear thinning behavior with a power low decrease in viscosity takes place. However, in mixtures with SDS concentration higher than 0.15% SDS, above a critical shear rate an increase in viscosity accompanied with an increase in the first normal stress difference occurs. The shear thickening behavior indicates shear induced structure formation due to HPMC-SDS interaction. The shear thickening flow takes place in both water and 0.01M NaCl binary mixtures. The critical shear rate is lower, while the viscosity increase is more pronounced in the 0.01M NaCl mixtures than in the corresponding deionised water mixtures. This is attributed to a stronger HPMC-SDS interaction due to charge screening effect in HPMC-SDS complex by sodium cations. When SDS concentration is higher than 1.50% wt. no shear thickening is observed in the investigated shear rate range. [1] B. Nystrom, A.-L. Kjoniksen, B.

Due to symmetry the second harmonic is generated only in a very thin layer separating two different phases, which ensures high spatial selectivity. This study was focused on polarization-dependent SHG, in which the probe beam is linearly polarized and the plane of polarization can be continuously rotated using a halfwave plate. Polarization of the detected second harmonic is selected by a polarizer located after the sample and can be either parallel or perpendicular to the plane of incidence. For both polarizations of the detected light its intensity is measured as a function of the direction of polarization of the probe beam. The investigation aims to describe the behavior of organic molecules at interfaces between 2 non-mixing liquids. In polarization-dependent measurements 3 parameters were varied: the dye concentration, the intensity of the laser beam and the age of the sample. It has been found that both, the dye concentration and - surprisingly, the probe beam intensity affect the polarization dependence of the second harmonic intensity. Comparison of the results obtained for different conditions suggests that the state of molecules at the surface changes and aggregates are formed at higher dye concentrations. Nevertheless aggregation alone cannot explain all the observed phenomena, therefore we will carry out additional time-resolved measurements which should help to identify the processes occurring in molecules adsorbed at the interface.

This is strongly related to their superior optical properties compared to other classes of functional dyes, such as high photostability, large extinction coefficient, tunable and narrow band gap luminescence and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields. Especially the PL quantum yield is a significant characteristic for the emission quality and is often cited in literature. However, for valuable data on one hand a proper determination procedure is crucial and on the other hand the understanding of particle properties influencing the emission is of great importance. In detail, the optical properties of the nanocrystals are affected by both the core material and the ligand shell. As the surface chemistry of QDs can still be tuned after the synthesis, a complete understanding of the impact of the stabilizing shell on the emission properties is promising for the design of highly emitting materials. Hence, this study discusses the proper experimental PL quantum yield determination as well as the analytical study of the nanoparticle surface and its relation to the PL quantum yield for the model system of aqueous synthesized CdTe nanocrystals capped with thiols. The investigation of the ligand shell includes analytical techniques together with theoretical calculations.

However, the introduction of an aminoalkyl group is less developed due to the low reactivity of imines as electrophiles.[2] Recently, we have carried out the first regioselective aminoalkylation of indoles 1 with α-amidosulfones (7) in either the C -3 or N -1 position under basic conditions. Both methods are also useful to introduce different aminoalkyl moieties in other nitrogen containing heterocycles. In this communication we present an extension of the scope of the reaction of aminoalkylation on the nitrogen using different heterocycles as 7-azaindoles 2, purines 3, pyrrole (4), benzimidazole (5) or indazole (6). Our method afforded heterocycles functionalized with an aminomethyl group bearing aryl, heteroaryl or alkyl substituents.

However, infections are a common complication arising from the tissue-biomaterial interaction, leading to clinically significant problems. The major role of implant susceptibility to infections is associated with the adhesion of a pathogen to the implant surface, therefore one of the strategies to obtain better surface resistance to microbial colonization is their modification. Poly(aliphatic/aromatic-ester) (PED) multiblock copolymers with different concentration of hard segment (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) and soft segments (dilinoleic acid (DLA)), namely 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70% wt. were modified to induce surface hydrolysis and aminolysis, respectively. The chemical structure of the neat PET/DLA is shown in Figure 1. Hydrolysis of PET/DLA copolymers in concentrated alkaline solution produced a carboxyl-enriched surface, and aminolysis in 1,6-hexanediamine /propanol solution introduced amino groups. That surface functionalization leads to the negative (COO) or positive (NH3+) charges on copolymer surface thus providing activated groups capable anchoring polyelectrolytes in a layer-by-layer process. The changes of surface chemistry were monitored and verified mainly by FTIR spectroscopy. Figure 1.

A system of great interest is the quarternary III/V-semiconductor Ga(NAsP). In order to avoid lattice mismatches GaP is used as an intermediate layer.[1,2] The electronic properties depend highly on the initial structure of the GaP-adlayer. Thus a DFTstudy has been started in order to gain a better understanding of the process using the VASP code. Calculations on gas-phase decomposition reactions suggest that hardly any decomposition occurs in the gas phase. Therefore surface reactions are supposed to play an important role in the adsorption process. The reactivity of the surface is determined by the degree of hydration. Experimental studies of the silicon surface show that under high temperature MOVPE reactions the surface is clean whereas at low temperature conditions it is hydrated.[3] Adsorption reactions at the hydrated are possible under insertion in Si-H or Si-Si bonds or under release of dihydrogen or hydrocarbon ligands. Adsorption is preceded by physisorption accompanied by activation of Si-H bonds. Layer growth depends on residues attached to the adsorbed atoms. t-Butyl groups block neighbouring adsorption sites whereas mere hydrogen atoms have hardly any influence on adsorption. A notable exception is the case of gallium hydride species where a borane-like species occurs which leads to strongly stabilized structures. [1] B. Kunert, K. Volz, J. Koch, W. Stolz, Appl. Phys.

As secondary metabolites of various Fusarium species, they represent a common source of food and feed contamination mainly affecting cereal products.[1] Due to the limited data on the toxicity, occurrence, and contamination levels ENN are also referred to as “emerging mycotoxins”.[2] The detection of the analytes by means of mass spectrometry has been found as a suitable method. However, coelution of matrix components may lead to ion suppression or ion enhancement effects in LC-MS-analysis. Thus, for a reliable quantitation the use of isotope-labeled internal standards is advisable. All matrix effects influence the internal standard and the analyte in the same way. Also losses during sample processing can be compensated by addition of the isotope labeled internal standard at the beginning of the sample extraction. The cultivation of Fusarium cultures and the isolation of unmarked ENN have been successfully carried out. According to Hu et al., the four main compounds ENN A, A1, B and B1 can be replaced with their 15 N3 -labeled versions by growing a strain of Fusarium in an artificial culture medium with Na15 NO3 as sole nitrogen source.[3] In variation from this, the labeled ENN were isolated by a modified rapid cleanup of the mycelium. After a solid-liquid extraction of the ENN from the homogenized fungal mycelium of Fusarium avenaceum, a fractionation and purification was carried out on a normal phase silica gel column with cyclohexane, ethyl acetate and methanol as eluents. The fractions containing the target analytes were identified by subsequent LC-MS analysis and evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in methanol. The pattern of the native ENN and the 15 N-ENN (single, double and triple labeled) and the accurate masses were determined by LC-QToF-MS. Less than 2 percent of unlabeled ENN was detected in the isolated standard. Hence, the obtained isotope labeled ENN will be suitable for following quantitative LC-MS based ENN analyses in food and feed. [1] Malachova et al., J. Agric.

In PDT three components are necessary, such as photosensitizer, molecular oxygen and light of an appropriate wavelength. Interestingly, an excited form of a drug interacts with molecular oxygen in its tryplet state generating singlet oxygen. Singlet oxygen can react with many biological cell components causing their destruction.[1] The photodynamic efficacy of three phthalocyanines (Pc-1, Pc-2, Pc-3) was studied and their potential usefulness in photodynamic therapy was evaluated (Fig.1). The generation of singlet oxygen by Pc-1 – Pc-3 was studied. 1,3-Diphenyloisobenzofuran (DPBF) was used as a singlet oxygen quencher. The photooxidation process was investigated in aerobic conditions and in an environment with limited access of oxygen (Fig.1).[1] According to these studies, phthalocyanines Pc-1 and Pc-2 generate singlet oxygen, but in the environment with limited access of oxygen this process occurs to a much lesser extent. The quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation was estimated by comparing with the reference macrocycle (zinc phthalocyanine). Moreover, Pc-2 appeared to be the most efficient photosensitizer among the series of macrocycles studied. The following values of the quantum yield of singlet oxygen generation in DMF and DMSO were found 0.32 and 0.30 for Pc-1, 0.46 and 0.34 for Pc-2, respectively.

Moreover, important are also the surrounding lipids and their orientation in the membrane (Scheme 1).[3] In order to better understand intermolecular interactions and organization of transmembrane proteins, we have chosen β-peptides as novel model system to study membrane assembly. β-Peptides are promising motifs to show various secondary structures with high helical content.[4,5] Therefore, various β-peptides with different hydrophobic side chains will be synthesized and examined regarding helix topology and membrane incorporation.

The biological activity of these molecules was confirmed in several scientific papers.[1−3] In silico biological descriptors of the examined molecules, such as enzyme inhibition (EI), nuclear receptor ligand binding (NRL), kinase inhibition (KI), protease inhibition (PI), ion channel modulation (ICM), G protein-coupled receptors binding (GPCR), and Caco-2 cells permeability (Caco-2), were calculated by PreADMET [4] and Molinspiration [5] software. The retention factors R0M and C0 were determined by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography in the solvent systems cyclohexane : ethylacetate, cyclohexane : acetone, cyclohexane : dioxane, cyclohexane : tetrahydrofuran and benzene : acetone, and silica gel as stationary phase. The correlations between defined biological descriptors and retention parameters were determined by statistical software Statistica 8.[6] Quadratic equations that relate R0M and C0 with EI, PI, KI, NRL, ICM, GPCR and Caco-2 were established. The validity of the generated mathematical models was confirmed by standard statistical measures (correlation coefficient (r), the standard error of estimation (s), Fisher’s value (F)), and cross-validation parameters (PRESS value, TSS value, Spress value, r2cv , r2adj ).[7] Optimal values of the cross-validation parameters confirm predictive ability of the estimated equations. On the basis of the obtained results it can be concluded that etablished mathematical models can be used for prediction of the biological behavior of the examined molecules. It indicates that retention parameters obtained by normal-phase chromatography can successfully predict some biological characteristics of the examined aldopentose and aldohexose derivatives. [1] G.

Promising catalytic systems with enhanced selectivity for formaldehyde are based on vanadium oxide species supported on mesoporous silicas.[1, 2] In the present work, we compare properties of differently prepared VOX catalysts supported on mesoporous silicas (MCM-41, SBA-15) using different analytical methods. In addition, we show the influence of CO2 -admixtures on the catalytic performance of these catalysts for the selective oxidation of methane to formaldehyde. Isolated low-molecular VOX species are assumed to be the active sites in the selective oxidation of methane.[3] However, analytic investigations of the catalysts prepared under different conditions showed concise differences related to preparation method as well as supports used.[4] The catalytic oxidation experiments are congruent with the analytical results. Besides such preparative developments, the process can be further positively influenced by technological variations. Primarily, the total oxidation can be suppressed by CO2 admixtures to the reactant feed. Fig. 1 shows such effect over VOX /SBA-15 catalyst prepared by IWI method. Starting from a feed mixture of 7.5:1:4:7.5 (CH4 : O2 :N2 :CO2 ) methane conversion xCH4 was 5.6%. The formaldehyde selectivity SHCHO was found to be 19.6%. After 3 h the CO2 was substituted by N2 and xCH4 increased while SHCHO decreased tremendously. If a continuous flow of CO2 was used for the whole reaction time we observed only a slight increase of xCH4 and appreciably lower decrease of SHCHO . It can be concluded that CO2 in the feed reduces the overall conversion of methane while the selectivity to formaldehyde is increased. From this, we can conclude that CO2 admixtures to the reactant feed have a positive influence on the methane oxidation reaction which leads to enhancement of the formaldehyde selectivity. Together with methods including rapid formaldehyde isolation from the reaction zone such CO2 admixtures to the feed help to reduce total oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide. Fig. 1.

First innovative applications are already established in the fields of chemical synthesis, catalysis, biochemical and pharmaceutical research as well as material science.[1,2] Despite the impressive enhancements, the reasons of fundamental chemical properties like solvation behavior and acidity are often not completely understood. Different spectroscopic methods can be used to probe inter- and intramolecular interactions in ionic liquids.[3] Here we present a combination of spectroscopy with synthesis of new low melting salts supported by DFT calculations. The structural unit of all examined compounds is quinolinium. This heterocyclic molecule is substituted in N-position by alkyl groups which results in a native zwitterionic molecule with a negative charge at the oxygen and a positive one at the nitrogen atom. Low melting salts are formed by conversion with acids containing weak coordination anions, e.g. triflate. Structural information is given by NMR and MIR spectroscopy. The influence of different alkyl chain length is studied by comparison of binding energy in terms of measured melting points and calculated molecular energies. [1] N. V. Plechkova, K. R.

Doxorubicin is especially toxic to the heart and the kidneys, which limits its therapeutic applications. Therefore, it is important to find a carrier that can deliver the drug selectively to the tumor tissue. The binding of a magnetic nanoparticle with a doxorubicin and applying a properly directed external magnetic field might be a good alternative to such traditional forms of the drug like liposomes and micels. The improved by us synthesis of the conjugate of doxorubicin with iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles allows a substantial depression of the aggregation process of the nanoparticles and therefore the examination of cytotoxicity of the modified drug. It has been shown, by performing the electrochemical microbalance measurements, that the use of magnetic field guarantees the efficient delivery of the drug to the requested place. The change in the synthesis led to an increase in the number of DOX molecules attached to one magnetic particle. It has also been found that the release of the drug takes place below pH 5.8, which pH characterizes the cancer cells. We demonstrated that unmodified iron-oxide magnetic nanoparticles were not cytotoxic toward human urinary bladder carcinoma cells UM-UC-3. Tumor cell sensitivity of DOX-Np complex was slightly higher in comparison to identical concentration of doxorubicin alone. Therefore, the magnetic nanoparticles were shown to be a good carrier for doxorubicin into the investigated tumor cells. [1] J. O’Shaughnessy, Oncologist 2003, 8, 1-2. V. I. Shubayev, T. R.

These synthetic analogues of natural porphyrinoids are known to possess wide applications in dyes industry, in materials chemistry as sensors, molecular semiconductors and non-linear optical materials, and as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy. Medical applications of phthalocyanines impose good solubility in water and increased accumulation in pathologic tissues. The structure of Pcs may be modified by introducing substituents at their peripheral and non-peripheral positions, as well as various metal ions into the central cavity of a macrocycle. Good solubility in water can be reached by introducing polyetheric substituents[1] in non-peripheral positions. Increased accumulation in hypoxic tissues such as cancer tissue can be reached by incorporating nitroimidazole moieties to the structure.[2] New compounds were synthesized according to the procedure shown on Figure 1. Newly synthesized phthalocyanines Pc-1, Pc-2, Pc-3, Pc-4 as well as the precursor dinitriles 1 and 2 were fully characterized by NMR, UV-Vis, MS, HPLC. Additionally, new dinitryles were characterized by combustion analysis and crystallographic data. New phthalocyanines were tested for photodynamic activity against human oral squamous carcinoma cells HSC-3. The best activity was revealed by compound Pc-3 possessing two types of substituents – dietheroxy and nitroimidazolylethoxy. Pc-3 showed photocytotoxicity at the level of IC50 0.10 µM. Zinc compound Pc-2 was three times more active than the magnesium Pc-1 and seems to be a promising compound for further research.

Little is known on the catalytic reduction of related P=O bonds, which are thermodynamically highly stable. With a bond energy of around 502 kJ/mol they are significantly more stable compared to typical organic functional groups and the general order of bond energy stability is: P-O > C-H > C-O > C-C > C-N).[1,2] Therefore, it is not surprising that highly chemoselective reductions of phosphine oxides until today represent an unsolved problem although the resulting organophosphines represent valuable intermediates and ligands for transition-metal catalysis.[3] For the first time, unprecedented chemoselective reductions of phosphine oxides to phosphines proceed smoothly in the presence of catalytic amounts of specific Brønsted acids. Utilizing inexpensive silanes, e.g. PMHS or (EtO)2MeSiH, other reducible functional groups such ketones, aldehydes, olefins, nitriles, and esters are well tolerated under optimized conditions.[4] Chemoselective reduction of phosphine oxides.

However, due to the manufacturers aim to achieve higher profits, they are increasingly resorting to the use of sugar produced from sugar beet due to much lower purchase prices of raw materials. Given that sugar beet belongs to the C3 -plants as well as fruit (apples, pears), the addition of sugar that comes from sugar beet can be confirmed through isotope ratio mass spectrometry analysis (IRMS) of stable isotopes of hydrogen in the molecule of ethanol.[1] On average, 85% of deuterium originating from sugar during the fermentation process is being incorporated in the methyl-group, and 75% of deuterium originating from water into methylene-group of ethanol molecules.[2] If alcoholic beverages are sweetened with sugar beet, analysis of ethanol will obtain δD values that are significantly lower compared to the values obtained for the ethanol molecule that is derived exclusively from fruit.[3] The examination of apple and pear brandies that originate from the areas of the Republic of Serbia, confirmed the existence of dependence between the amount of added sugar derived from sugar cane and the value of the stable isotopes of hydrogen in ethanol molecule (δD). We analyzed six samples of brandy, and for each sample, by using a linear regression analysis, a mathematical formulation was derived that describes the given linear dependence. Statistical parameters that prove the validation of the model equations (Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r), the standard error of estimation (s), Fisher’s value (F) and parameters of cross validation (PRESS value, r2cv and r2adj )) were calculated using the software package Statistical System Number Cruncher-NCSS 2007. The practical application of the equations is reflected in the calculation of the amount of added sugar derived from sugar beets during the production of brandy on the basis of δD values, and it is necessary to know the type and variety of fruit from which it is produced.

The high level of triplet excitons’ energy of carbazole groups allows the effective energy transfer from the matrix to the phosphorescent dopant.[2] Analysis of the spectral distribution of thermoluminescence spectrum confirms the presence of the deep traps for holes and efficient recombination centers which are located on the tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (Ir(ppy)3 ) particles. The addition of a small amount (2 wt. %) of Ir(ppy)3 effectively quenches the excited states of PVK and PBD-PVK.[3] A similar value of the triplet energy levels (∼ 3.2 eV) and the ability of the formation of triplet excitons in PVK and Ir(ppy)3 has a significant impact on the generation of electron-hole pairs and their dissociation in a high electric field in PVK-PBD systems doped with tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium. The aim of this work was to determine the quantum yield of photogeneration of charge carriers by xerographic discharge method. Samples of PVK and PVK-PBD doped with iridium complex (2 wt. %) with a thickness from 1,5 to 6 µm was obtained by drop-casting method. Based on the analysis of the results of quantum efficiency of photogeneration of charge carriers depending on the intensity of the electric field and the excitation wavelength the photoconductivity of examined systems PVK and PVKPBD doped with iridium complex was rated. The results obtained for the samples doped with Ir(ppy)3 show that the quantum efficiency of photogeneration of charge carriers is significantly reduced in comparison with pure PVK. This is associated with the effective capture of holes by Ir(ppy)3 particles. Addition of 40 wt. % of PBD (which is characterized by a high mobility of electrons) to the PVK + Ir(ppy)3 system results in an appearance of photoconductivity in the electric field from −4 · 105 V/m to −3 · 107 V/m.

Humans or animals get exposed to this toxin by ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation predominantly when swimming in contaminated water. Another known exposure route is the uptake of CYN containing seafood.[1] In many countries it is common to use surface water for crop irrigation also from potentially cyanotoxin-contaminated resources.[2] Therefore, an exposure to CYN by eating contaminated crops seems possible. The aim of this study was to clarify whether CYN is taken up by plants and transported from the roots to the leaves. Different Brassica species served as model crops, which were irrigated with CYN containing water. In experiment 1 the roots of two leaf stage Brassica oleracea var. sabellica and Brassica juncea plants were irrigated with a nutrient solution in an aeroponic system for 30 days. The water contained pure CYN and CYN from an unpurified APH extract (cCY N = 18-35 µg L−1 ). In experiment 2 Sinapis alba seedlings were used to examine the concentration dependency for CYN uptake. Therefore, the plants were exposed to concentrations in the range of 20 to 445 µg L−1 CYN for a growth period of 3 days. The plant material from the two different experiments was freeze-dried, extracted, and analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS.[3] In all experiments performed, a significant uptake of CYN by the test plants was observed. The CYN concentrations in the leaves reached up to 21 % of the concentration initially applied to the roots. Furthermore, a linear concentration dependency of the CYN absorption in the selected concentration range was determined for Sinapia alba seedlings. The results indicate that CYN is systemically available to the examined Brassica species. Thus, it seems possible that crop plants irrigated with CYN-containing surface water may represent a significant source of this toxin within the food chain.[3] [1] S. Kinnear, Mar.

Chokeberries are rich in phenolic compounds and have been reported to have antioxidative effects in vitro and in vivo. It has been applied as a natural antihypertensive and anti-atherosclerotic drug, mainly by the polyphenols and anthocyanins. The anthocyanins are water-soluble plant pigments with antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, hepatoprotective, gastroprotective. In the fruit, chlorogenic and neochlorogenic acids are dominant among the aromatic acids. High contents of cyanidin-3-arabinoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside and (-)-epicatechin are also typical of chokeberries. In this study we have determined the total content of anthocyanins by the pHdifferential spectrophotometric method in five different samples (syrup, juice, berry, dried tea and chokebbery tea infusions). Two dilutions were prepared, one with potassium chloride buffer (pH 1.0) and the other with sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.5). Absorbance was measured simultaneously at 510 nm and 700 nm. The content of total anthocyanins was expressed in mg of cyanidin-3-O-glucoside equivalents per 100 g of chokeberry or liter of juice (mg C3GE/g or mg C3GE/L). Total anthocyanins content from different samples ranged from 1055.68 mg/100 g (infusion tea) to 56.757 mg/100 g (chokeberry). Total anthocyanins content from different solvents in chokeberry from 101.2 mg/100 g (solvent methanol 60%) to 28.71 mg/100 g (solvent water). Total anthocyanins content from different samples in one solvent methanol 60% from 715.65 mg/100 g (dried tea) to 96.52 mg/100 g (chokeberry).

It is based on the measurements of effective molecular diffusion coefficient during flow through a long, thin capillary with and without selector.[1,2,7] The analysis demonstrates that it is possible to design an instrument that operates very nearly in accordance with the simplest mathematical description of the dispersion of a solute pulse in a fluid in laminar flow within a straight, circular cross-section tube. The small departures of a practical instrument from the ideal are evaluated as corrections by means of a general perturbation treatment that allows them to be examined one at a time. The corrections considered include the effects of the finite volume of the injection pulse, the finite volume of the concentration monitor, the coiling of the tube, and the nonuniformity and noncircularity of the cross section, as well as the variation of the fluid properties with composition.[3] TDA is a typical chromatographic method, where the chromatographic column is replaced by a capillary filled with an appropriate eluent (Tris-phosphate buffer, TrisHCl buffer). A small injection of the sample is applied to the system and the diffusion coefficients of the free ligand and the free selector (l-phenylalanine, ribonuclease and warfarin) is determined by TDA. The concentration of the ligand is the same as in the experiment without selector. The concentration of the selector is the same as an eluent. The effective diffusion coefficient of the ligand during the flow in the presence of the selector depends on the diffusion coefficient of free and complexed ligand, and also stability contact of the ligand-selector complex.[4] A method we used in our experiment was, ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC). However, around the world there are several other methods used to determine dispersion coefficient, e.g. dynamic light scattering,[5] and nuclear resonance spectroscopy.[6] TDA might be useful in the study of biological substances. There is a large group of industrial processes that may find the dispersion coefficient parameter to be useful in designating and analyzing new technological solutions. Furthermore, dispersion coefficient along with hydrodynamic properties can deliver information both about size and shape of macromolecules such as proteins. [1] R. Aris, Proc. Soc. Lond.

In that light it is worth mentioning that some imidazole N–oxide derivatives were tested in vitro against the mentioned protozoa[7] with positive results. As continuation of broad studies on novel imidazole N-oxide derivatives the crystal structures of six new compounds were determined by X–ray method. The analysis of structural properties of individual molecules as well as intermolecular contacts in crystals was performed. The influence of substituent effect on selected geometrical parameters including parameters of intramolecular N − H · · · O(−) charge assisted hydrogen bond will be discussed in this presentation.

Teodor Mihaly Street Cluj Napoca – Cluj-Napoca – ROU [email protected] The present work is dedicated to presenting the crystallographic description of some studied nano crystalline networks as 3-periodic structures. For each structure, we determine the category to which it belongs (3-c net, 4-c net, 3,4-c net or other nets), its point symbol, stoichiometry, vertex symbol, topos parameters and identify whether the structure has a known or new topology, with the help of the TOPOS program (a program package for multipurpose crystallochemical analysis) and additional programs we developed. We also used a program called Systre designed to analyze periodic nets as they arise in the study of extended crystal structures (as opposed to molecular crystals). Systre uses a method called barycentric placement to determine the ideal symmetry of the crystal net (optimal embedding) and to analyze its topological structure.

Aspirin exhibits a fascinating and perplexing structural chemistry possessing two polymorphs (form I and form II).[3] Exemplarily, we have chosen this ubiquitous compound to develop a new procedure probing the phenomenon of polymorphism by THz-TDS spectroscopy. Both, form I and form II, were synthesized and defined by Xray powder diffraction.[3] Subsequently, THz-TDS has been applied to identify both polymorphs of Aspirin providing structural information of the molecules as well. The observed THz features were compared to far-IR measurements and the final results were verified theoretically by DFT calculations. Scheme 1.

Epichlorohydrin is an important intermediate mainly use in the production of epoxy resins.[1] Commercially epichlorohydrin is manufactured by reacting allyl chloride with chlorine–water to obtain a mixture of chlorohydrins, which are then treated with milk of lime to produce epichlorohydin.[2] Nowadays, last for research on the receipt of epichlorohydrin from glycerol. This process based on the conversion of glycerol to dichlorohydrins (mainly 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol), and then dehydrochlorination to epichlorohydrin (the GTE process).[3] In the literature, there are no reports concerning the process parameters of production of epichlorohydrin from 1,3-dichloropropan2-ol and the methods of realization of technological process itself. The aim of doctoral thesis is study on the influence of technological parameters on the continuously dehydrochlorination process in the reaction-stripping column. One of this parameters is flow of 88 wt % aqueous solution of 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol and 10 wt % milk of lime. The total reactants flow was changed (from 12.1 cm3 /min to 70.0 cm3 /min) and the influence on the selectivity to the epichlorohydrin and 1,3-dichloropropan-2-ol conversion was studied. Increasing the summary flow rate of reactants in the range of 12.1 to 70.0 cm3 /min, at a constant flow of steam (4.3 dm3 /min), reduces the conversion of 1,3-dichloropropan2-ol from about 90% to 80%. The selectivity of epichlorohydrin is constant and is approximately 99%. At summary total flow of reactants which is 70.0 cm3 /min, the flooding of column is occur. [1] P. Czub, Z.

Poster 232 Saturday 9:00 - 11:30 289 Determination of folic acid and its major derivatives by capillary electrophoresis Justyna Stachniuk , Radoslaw Dalkowski, Barbara Krawczyk, Dominik Szczukocki, Robert Zakrzewski Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry – University of Lodz, Faculty of Chemistry – Tamka 12 – Lodz – POL [email protected] Folic acid (FA) is the simplest naturally occurring water soluble vitamin and most stable form of folate, which is essential for humans. Mammals cannot synthesize folate by themselves so it should be supplied with food. Folic acid has different important functions in the human body while it is not biologically active. All the biological functions of FA are performed by tetrahydrofolic acid (FH4 ) and other derivatives which are generated in the presence of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). This FH4 is the main circulating form of folate which plays a major role in the red blood cells synthesis and tissue development. This compound also facilitates the single carbon transfer reaction for the synthesis of basic constituents of DNA and RNA and the production of methionine from homocysteine. The supplementation of FA prevents spina bifida and related neural tube birth defects. Methotrexate (MTX) is an analog of folic acid. It is a potent FA antagonist which acts as an inhibitor of DHFR leading to DNA damage and cell death. During the last-half century MTX has been widely used in large doses for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drug, in low doses in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. Today, due to its antiproliferate activity, MTX is mainly used in the treatment of leukemia, lymphomas as well as certain solid tumors. As a chemotherapeutic drug for tumors, methotrexate is usually used in high doses, which causes same side effects such as vomiting, myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. That is why, high doses of MTX are always followed by folinic acid (FNA) rescue leading to an increase of reduced folates in the cellular concentration. Due to the importance of FA, toxic side effects of MTX and rescue value of FNA, their concentration in nutrition supplements, pharmaceutical preparations and plasma or urine should be regularly monitored. In literature several analytical methods, including HPLC and CE, can be found to quantify mentioned compounds separately.[1,2] These separation techniques are powerful due to their high resolution, high efficiency, rapid separation of analytes and minimum operation cost. Thus, in this study we evaluate and validate a reliable CE method with UV detection for measuring the concentration of FA, FNA and MTX in biological samples. The starting conditions for the development of these compounds were calculated from the CE conditions of a validated method for some organic acids.[3] The method was optimized by testing the following parameters: the used buffer concentration and pH, time of injection and temperature.

Calcium fructoborate (CF) is a sugar-borate ester (SBE), patented complex of calcium, fructose and boron found naturally in fresh and dried fruits, vegetables and herbs, and wine. Published clinical researches indicate that CF significantly reduces serum levels of CRP in humans, suggesting this unique plant-mineral complex controls the inflammation.

Development of fluorinated nucleosides became the result of the extensive antiviral and anticancer research stimulated by emergence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and tumours. To date there are known several marketed drugs so called fluorinated purine and pyrimidine antimetabolites clinically broadly used for the treatment numerous of cancers and viral infections.[1] In this work performed reactions include synthesis of 1H -pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3ones 3 and corresponding nucleosides 4 (Fig.1). Besides peracylated ribofuranose, corresponding glycose and rhamnose derivatives were used giving according nucleosides in good to excellent yields. Catalytic reduction of pyridine ring 3 was carried out successfully. Preliminary biological evaluation library of more than 150 compounds, and subsequent optimization by the additional hit-to-lead study resulted in the identification of several representatives with strong antagonistic action on human smooth muscle cells. Lead compounds LS 009 and LS 057 are now under study as novel, cell-selective drug-candidate for endovascular implants. Fig. 1. Synthesis of perfluoralkyl group containing purine-like scaffolds.

Panse, Stephen Middel, Ulf Diederichsen Institute of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry – Georg-August-University Göttingen – Tammannstr. 2 – Göttingen – GER [email protected] The photochemical properties of o-nitrobenzene compounds are known for more than hundred years,[1] whereas photocleavable groups based on this concept have been introduced in the 1960s.[2] Since then, photodeprotection and cleavage are well established in various fields of research.[3] Our aim is to use the photocleavable unit to cleave PNA oligomers after these oligomers served in a ligation reaction. PNA/PNA recognition facilitates nearly unlimited orthogonal ligation sites (Scheme 1). Herein, PNA covalently attached to the peptide brings the functionalized centres of the two peptides in close proximity by PNA/PNA base pair recognition. Following the PNA-mediated peptide ligation the PNA strands need to be cleaved off using the onitrobenzene derivate. For this purpose a photocleavable linker was synthesized based on the 3,4-dimethylnitrobenzene structure, which is known to have enhanced quantum yields and photon absorption properties compared to the unsubstituted nitrobenzene derivative.[4] For functionalization with PNA an ethyne moiety was introduced in benzylic position of the nitrobenzene ring.[5] In preliminary experiments it was shown that the photolabile group at the N -terminus of a peptide was uncaged within 30 minutes of UV exposure. Furthermore, functionalization with a resin bound PNA strand applying copper mediated click chemistry is possible. In near future PNA-mediated ligation experiments will be explored.

Leaf juice locally heals wound, skin disease and spots, and relieves the pain caused by cold to the ear. Investigated plant, Hylotelephium spectabile (Boreau) H. Ohba x telephium (L.) H.Ohba, a taxon of hybrid origin is grown as an ornamental and medicinal plant across Serbia. China and Japan are natural habitats of H. spectabile (Autumn Joy, Ice plant) while H. telephium (Orpine, Livelong, Frog’s-stomach, Midsummer-men, Witch’s Moneybags,etc.) is native to Eurasia. Wide use of plant in traditional medicine induced our interests to examine chemical composition and antioxidative activity of plant MeOH extracts, its fractions and hydrolysates. Experimental work included preparation of fresh leaves and flowers MeOH extracts and liguid-liguid partition of each extract to obtain hexane, EtOAc and BuOH fractions. Except hexane fraction, MeOH extracts and theirs fractions were hydrolysed. HPLC chromatograms showed that extracts contain mostly quercetin and kaempferol glycosides, as confirmed by the composition of hydrolysates whose main components were quercetin and kaempferol. Evaluations of antioxidant activity were done by applying the following assays: DPPH assay, ABTS assay and Total reducing power assay (Fe3+ to Fe2+ ). Additionally total flavonoid content (based on flavonoid affinity to form complex with AlCl3 ) and total phenols (by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent based on reduction of Mo6+ to Mo5+ ) were determined. Flower EtOAc fraction showed best activity for all performed assays. Leaf samples have lower activity then corresponding flower samples. Flower samples (EtOAc, BuOH fractions and their hydrolysates) are better DPPH radical and ABTS radical cation scavengers than rutin, excluding BuOH fraction against ABTS radical cation. In non hydrolysed samples (mgml−1 ) values for total flavonoid content, expressed as rutin equivalents, was ranged from 57.20 to 121.33 µgml−1 and in hydrolysed from 101.98 to 539.16 µgml−1 . Range values of total phenol content (gallic acid equivalents), for non hydrolysed samples was from 53.33 to 960.00 µgml−1 and for hydrolysed samples from 173.33 to 1946.67 µgml−1 .

Liposomes are spherical vesicles formed by some amphiphilic compounds, e.g., phosphatidylcholines and are considered as a model of biological membranes. Incorporation of lipids with covalently attached poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) into liposomal bilayer membranes causes significant stabilization of liposome suspensions, prevents their aggregation and inhibits protein and cellular interactions with liposomes thereby considerably prolonging their blood circulation time. These vesicles are known as pegylated or SSL liposomes and are applied as effective drug delivery supports.[1,2] The interactions between mTHPP and SSL were studied using fluorescence methods. POPC liposomes containing one of the quenchers were prepared by sonication.[3] A series of doxyl-spin labeled molecules: 3β-doxyl-5α-cholestane (CSL), 5-doxyl stearic acid (5-SASL) or 16-doxyl stearic acid (16-SASL) was used in the measurements. The final concentration ratio between POPC and the quencher in the sample was 80:20. The vertical localization of the fluorophore in a membrane was calculated according to the parallax method. The basic idea of parallax method is to compare the amount of fluorescence quenching caused by quenchers which are located at two different depths in the bilayer.[4] mTHPP was quenched mostly by CSL and 16-SASL. The shallow position of mTHPP in the pegylated membrane indicates that the porphyrin tends to escape to the PEG layer. An additional method to obtain the information about the relative vertical depth location of membrane-bound fluorophores in a membrane is quenching of the porphyrin fluorescence with copper ions. Fluorescence quenching is associated with a collisional quenching constant, KSV, which is obtained from the Stern–Volmer equation. The KSV value for mTHPP in non-pegylated liposomes is much lower than for mTHPP in pegylated liposomes, which suggests that the porphyrin in SSL is situated superficially in the bilayer. [1] M.C.

Small berries such as black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) represent one of the important sources of potential healthpromoting phytochemicals because these fruits are rich in compounds with high antioxidant properties.The objective of our research was to evaluate the total polyphenol and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant activity of five different products aronia in six different solvents. Total polyphenol content was determined spectrophotometrically according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method (λ=760 nm), using gallic acid (GA) as a standard, and ranged from 66.68 mg/g (aronia dried tea, solvent acetone) to 4.25 mg/g (juce of aronia, solvent acetone). The total flavonoid content in selected chokeberry samples was determined according the aluminum chloride spectrophotometric method (λ=510 nm). Catechin was chosen as a standard and the results expressed in milligram catechin equivalents per gram of extract (mg CE/g). Results are ranged from 52.2 mg/g (aronia dried tea, solvent acetone) to 3.52 mg/g (syrup, solvent water). DPPH radical scavenging activity, 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation scavenging activity (ABTS), ferric reducing-antioxidant power (FRAP) and reducing power assay Fe(III) to Fe(II) (RP) were used to assess the antioxidant capacity (AC) of chokeberry. These assays, based on different chemical mechanisms, were selected to take into account the wide variety and range of action of antioxidant compounds present in selected chokeberry samples. All samples showed antioxidant power. The results obtained in this work are generally consistent with literature data.

The comparison of the ligand field stabilization energies of high-spin and low-spin configurations provides a rationale, why a certain structure and electron configuration is stable and others are not. Square planar geometry implicates a large separation of the dx2 −y2 orbital from the remaining d orbitals, which is beneficial if only those are filled, in particular if the ligand field is strong. Consequently, for metal ions with more than 4 d electrons and a square planar ligand geometry low-spin configurations are preferred and compounds with high-spin configuration are rare. Recently Klüfers[1] et al. and Doerrer[2] et al. reported the first molecular compounds containing high-spin, square planar FeO4 units which are not coordinated by a macrocyclic ligand and discussed the prerequisites for this unusual structural motif. In our work, we set out employing the known tripodal organotrisilanol LH3 [3] as a ligand precursor which was reacted with iron(II)-triflate after deprotonation of the Si-OH groups with sodium methanolate. The resulting product contains two FeII centers in square planar coordination spheres spanned by two trisiloxane ligands. The remaining two negative charges are compensated by two sodium ions (additionally binding Et2 O co-ligands).[4] This compound extends the sparse knowledge in this field with regard to molecular chemistry to dinuclear compounds, to 6-membered chelate rings and also to silanolate ligands; it thus approaches the situation in the natural iron silicate Gillespite[5] or in certain ceramics[6] where also square planar FeO4 units have been found. Overall for the first time edge-sharing of FeO4 units has been observed. [1] X. Wurzenberger, H. Piotrowski, P. Klüfers, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 4974-4978. S. A. Cantalupo, S. R. Fiedler, M.

We propose here an alternative route to synthesize KLE avoiding use of gaseous ethylene oxide (Scheme 1). In the first step Kraton liquid (A), which represents the lipophilic part of the aimed surfactant C, was esterified with 4-pentynoic acid by using active ester chemistry. The hydrophilic part, B, of this surfactant was obtained by using commercial hydroxyl end functionalized polyethylene oxide (Mw = 2000 g/mol and Mw = 5000 g/mol).[2] The two building blocks A and B were covalently coupled together by so-called “click” chemistry.

We previously developed the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted bipyridines by palladium catalyzed direct arylation of pyridine N -oxides.[3] These bipyridines were employed as ligands in the preparation of [Cp*Ir(bpy)Cl]Cl complexes. The redox behaviour of these complexes was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. Initial results on their catalytic activity will be presented. [1] C. Kaes, A. Katz, M. W.

For this reason, model compounds that mimic the properties of native lignin are of prime interest, in order to make the studies on the lignin cleavage easier and comprehensible on a molecular level.[4] In this context, substrates containing β-O-4 linkages are particularly relevant, as those bonds are most abundant in lignin (30-50%, depending on the wood type).[2,5] Recently, we described a diastereoselective preparation of dimeric β-O-4 dilignol model compounds.[5] In 2005 and 2008, Kishimoto and coworkers developed synthetic routes for the preparation of polymeric β-O-4 mono- and dilignol model compounds.[6] Based on these previous findings, we now present a protocol which allows the synthesis of oligomeric lignin analogs. The chain length of these lignin related mono- and dilignols could be controlled to bear two to four β-O-4 linkages. [1] a) F. Cherubini, Energy Convers. Manage. 2010, 51, 1412-1421; b) J. C.

Moreover, a very special position among all drugs containing a quinoline core is occupied by the fluoroquinolones.[1] Recent advances in the synthesis of pyridines, quinolines and fused pyridines by [5+1]-cyclization strategies include several efficient methods for the constructing of such heterocyclic scaffolds.[2] Having this strategy in mind Iaroshenko’s laboratory exanimated the cyclisation reaction of fluorinated phenylpropyn-1-one 1 with different amines 2. Compounds 1 are available from commercially available acetylenes and fluorinated benzoylchlorides by Sonogashira reaction. Using Li2 CO3 as base in DMA, a series of tandem [5+1]-cyclizations of amines 2 with 1 was conducted, resulting the 4-quinolones 3 with 73-89 % yields (Figure 1).[3] When acetylenes 1 containing a second fluorine atom in the molecule were investigated, we have observed an interesting phenomenon. In the case when the second fluorine was located in ortho- or para- position to the carbonyl group it was substituted by an amine to give the amino-substituted quinolones 4. However, the substrates 1 with the second fluorine in meta-position were not prone to react with amines and in this case the reaction resulted in 4-quinolones 3 containing the fluorine group in the position-6. Nevertheless, during this investigation we have encountered with the fact that the double-substitution occurred only with aliphatic amines. The application of anilines under our standard reaction conditions did not result in substitution of the second fluoride group. However, this result provided us the possibility to use some products 3 to substitute the second activated fluorine atom by aliphatic amines to deliver different quinolones 4. Moreover, the mechanism of this transformation was investigated and a number of intermediates was isolated and identified.[3] Figure 1. Synthesis of functionated 4-quinolines [1] R. B.

The aims of this method are the keeping of the demands of the Guidelines to determine the BAC for forensic purposes and the introduction of a fast, precise and non - destructive BAC analysis with a minimum volume of capillary full blood. Methods: The NMR method involves the use of a solvent of maximum 1 mL D2O spiked with TMSP, and an internal standard in form of 20 µL DMS. The measurement occurs with the NMR spectroscopy (600 MHz) with fixed parameters. Results and Discussion: The volume of 20 µL capillary full blood is enough for the determination of the BAC with the same accuracy like the “old” methods. The stability at different storage places, the repeatability, reproducibility, linearity and accuracy confirmed by preparing calibration series with reference serum and whole blood are analyzed. Factors like personnel, chemicals, temperature, light and air humidity do not show any effects on the BAC results. A scientific drinking test proves that intravenous and capillary blood shows the same BAC level. Conclusion: The drinking test proves that a single capillary blood drop is sufficient for a BAC determination. A comparison of the BAC results of the forensic jurisprudence, measured by GC - HS and ADH, and of the alternative NMR – method demonstrates the accuracy of this method with real blood samples. A forensic usability with the specified limits can be met.

Modified nanoparticles are a valuable target system for a plenty of biological, biomedical and nano-technological issues requiring the controllability and tunability of their mixing abilities within lipid membranes with focus on adsorption, binding, dispersion and localization.[1] A powerful mean to investigate such nanoscopic systems are amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy (AM-AFM) techniques enabling visualization of nanostructures and characterization of key local mechanical properties, simultaneously. By indenting the soft material of the sample with the oscillating AFM tip a depth resolved map of mechanical properties can by gained. Hard tissues like non-compressive CdSe nanoparticles can thus be visualized underneath the respective lipid/polymer surface.[2] The aim of this work is to gain insight in interaction principles of CdSe nanoparticles with mixed lipid/polymer monolayers at the air water interface or transferred films at solid Si substrates via AM-AFM. We focus on the organization and localization of the nanoparticles within the monolayer thereby demonstrating that the nanoparticles surface modification plays a crucial role for the respective nanoparticle location within or at the interface.

Electrostatic interactions are often crucial in recognition of ligands binding to nucleic acids (for example, in the case of aminoglycoside antibiotics targeting various RNA motifs). Reconstructing the electron density with the single point charge models, as in classical molecular mechanics potential energy functions, lacks the accuracy of the multi-pole expansion approaches. The methodology that accounts for other than single-point charge terms in the description of electrostatics was applied. The idea of University at Buffalo Databank (UBDB)[1] is based on the transferability of electron density parameters between atoms that are in chemically equivalent vicinities. The UBDB parameters allow reconstructing the electron density from the experimental structural data even for large systems. The UBDB and the Exact Potential Multipole Method (EPMM) developed by Volkov[2] were applied to estimate the electrostatic energy of interactions and its per-ring contributions between RNA and aminoglycosides as the electrostatic effects dominate the binding process.[3] Understanding the amplitude of electrostatic interactions between aminoglycosides and their ribosomal RNA target is necessary to introduce aminoglycoside modifications that would enhance their binding.

It was shown that the control the direction of these three-component reactions can be carried out by varying the temperature condition with the help of non-classical activation methods (microwave and ultrasonic irradiation). It should be noted, that in comparison with ordinary mechanical stirring, ultrasonication doesn’t influence on the reaction mechanism and direction and its effect comes to decreasing of the reaction time for account of the effective mass transfer and homogenization.

The subsystems α and β function as one entity αβ, surrounded by ω. Based on Schrodinger’s[1] assumption supported by Ho[2] and Hansen[3] , as well as on the assumption of von Bertalanffy[4] that living systems act as open thermodynamic systems, and on Prigogine’s work[5,6] , the aging of living systems is described. Aging of biological systems is directly related to the processes of life, and is described by thermodynamic equation which shows two tendencies: one to increase the entropy and the other is an act of the organized biological machine to decrease the entropy. Aging is a consequence of imbalance between these two tendencies. It’s also concluded that because of the property of growth the input and output of substance aren’t equal, because a part of the substance remains in the system, as a consequence of that the system is in a quasi-steady state. This means that pressure, temperature, molarity and mol fractions are constant; while the quantity of substance and entropy of the system are variable. 308 Saturday 9:00 - 11:30 Poster 251 Stereoselective modifications of salen-like ligands - chiral chelates and macrocycles Paweł Tokarz ∗ , Jarosław Lewkowski∗ , Anna Krzyczmonik∗ , Katarzyna Ślepokura† , Tadeusz Lis† ∗ Department of Organic Chemistry – University of Łódź – Ul.

One of the most spectacular substances, derived from this simple amine, are macrocyclic molecules that can be obtained by so-called cyclocondensation.[1] Such macrocycles have found numerous applications, only to mention a few - the asymmetric catalysis or the chiral recognition of biologically active agents.[2,3] Until now little is known about modified structures of DACH -based macromolecules, in particular, those containing lipophilic substituents. We have decided to provide a simple and stereoselective method of the introduction of long carbon chains into the macrocyclic moiety. We have used dialkyl phosphites as chain carriers. In this way it was possible for us to introduce two chains per one azomethine bond. We developed a novel synthetic protocol applying use of sodium hydride which gave us diastereoisomeric ratios as high as 100:1:1 for acyclic model systems. In case of the large, cyclic systems the problem becomes more complex due to a number of possible isomeric products. Synthesis of lipophilically modified DACH -based macrocycles [1] N. E.

The mechanism of acid mediated transformation of transition metal tetrahydroborates was thoroughly studied by means of combination of experimental (IR and NMR, 190-300 K) and computational (DFT/M06) methods. Formation of DHB complexes as the first reaction step and their thermodynamic characteristic was established experimentally. By means of theoretical investigation possible coordination modes of DHB complexes were revealed. Despite of existence a large number of DHB different types (mono-, bi- and trifurcate complexes) and competition between these forms, only one type of DHB bifurkate complex with participation of terminal and bridge hydrides of tetrahydroborate-group is active intermediate of the reactions.

Furthermore we realize excursions to chemical companies. Another special event is our beachvolleyball tournament, that takes place every summer. In 2012 the following events took place in Aachen: Lecture by Prof. Dr. Klaus Roth – “Vom ersten Bier zum Kater.”: To the “Tag der Chemie” of the RWTH Aachen University we invited Prof. Dr. Klaus Roth to give an interesting and entertaining lecture related to the interaction of alcohol with the human body. Beachvolleyball Tournament: In July we arranged the annual beachvolleyball tournament with 20 teams and many spectators. With perfectly sunny weather, music and cold drinks we had a great day. After sports we enjoyed a barbecue in front of the chemistry department and decorated the winners of the tournament. Excursion to AIXTRON SE: In August we had the chance to visit AIXTRON SE, which is a leading provider of deposition equipment to the semiconductor industry and has been established in Aachen. We listened to interesting presentations and we were given the chance to see how the deposition equipment is built up. Our plans for 2013: In February a lecture will be held by Prof. Dr. Thomas Loetzbeyer – “Molekulare Küche - Ein Experimentalvortrag über Gaudi, Genuss und Lebensfreude.” In the end of February we are going to conduct another excursion to LANXESS AG in Cologne. In March we will pay a visit to the pharmaceutical company Grünenthal GmbH. Furthermore we organize an experimental lecture in the summer term and want to organize a spring party afterwards. Another highlight will be the annual beachvolleyball tournament, that will take place in summer again.

We regularly meet at the “JCF Stammtisch”, where we plan our events and discuss current topics, problems or just spend some quality time together. Lectures: Each Semester, we have the possibility to invite special guests during the ongoing term of GDCh lectures. We highly appreciate guests who are talking about uncommon chemical topics, for example, “Supramolekulare Detektion von Sprengstoffen – Grundlagen und Anwendungen“ (Prof. Dr. Siegfried R. Waldvogel, Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz); “Das Problem der nuklearen Entsorgung” (Prof. Horst Geckeis, Institut für Nukleare Entsorgung KIT). A special lecture was given by Prof. Richard Ernst in November 2010. The noble laureate gave the audience an extraordinary example of interdisciplinary work in his talk entitled: “Die interkulturelle Passion eines Naturwissenschaftlers: Tibetische Malkunst, Pigmentanalyse und Wissensvermittlung an tibetische Mönche”. Theme nights: Furthermore, we organize theme nights where we take a chemical view at different topics. For example: “Themenabend CSI: Chemiker suchen Indizien” Lecture: Dr. H. Wollersen, Dr. P. Weis “Berufseinstieg für Chemiker” and different lecturers from chemical companies, e. g., Evonik, Heraeus, VAA. Excursions: So far, we have organized excursions to chemical companies close to Gießen, e. g., Merck (Darmstadt), Seidel (Marburg/Fronhausen), ESA (Darmstadt), etc. In the summer of 2011, we arranged a three-day trip to Leipzig, where we met the JCF Leipzig and visited BELL and the department of chemistry at the university. In December 2010, we organized an excursion to BASF Coatings (Münster) together with the JCF Münster, followed by a jolly trip to the Christmas market. Other activities: In addition, we arrange a number seminars on different subjects (e.g., presentation techniques, career entry), and represent the JCF/GDCh at the “Hochschulinformationstag” and the “Studieneinführungswoche”. Together with the association “Verein der Freunde der chem.
