Poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) is used as both reducing and stabilizing agent for the formation of AuNPs. In addition, the influence of an ionic liquid (IL) (i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate) on the stability of the nanoparticles and their immobilization in the hydrogel is investigated The results show that AuNPs surrounded by a shell containing PEI and IL, synthesized according to the one-pot approach, are much better immobilized within the PAAm hydrogel. Hereby, the IL is responsible for structural changes in the hydrogel as well as the improved stabilization and embedding of the AuNPs into the polymer gel matrix.}, language = {en} } @article{KleinpeterKoch2013, author = {Kleinpeter, Erich and Koch, Andreas}, title = {(Anti)aromaticity of dehydroannulenes of various ring size proved by the ring current effect in H-1 NMR spectra}, series = {Tetrahedron}, volume = {69}, journal = {Tetrahedron}, number = {5}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0040-4020}, doi = {10.1016/j.tet.2012.12.019}, pages = {1481 -- 1488}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The spatial magnetic properties (Through-Space NMR Shieldings-TSNMRS) of already synthesized dehydro[n]annulenes of various ring size (from C-12 to C-20) have been computed, visualized as Isochemical Shielding Surfaces (ICSS) of various size and direction, and were examined subject to present (anti)aromaticity.

The compound exists as a mixture of two conformers possessing the chair conformation with the equatorial NMe group and differing by axial or equatorial position of the SiMe group. In the gas phase, the SiMeax conformer predominates (GED: ax/eq = 65(7):35(7)\%,Delta G = 0.36(18) kcal/mol; IR: ax/eq = 62(5):38(5)\%,Delta G = 0.16(7) kcal/mol).

It was found that the thermodynamically less stable anti-isomer was initially formed in the course of the oxidation, but it underwent epimerization to the mixture enriched in the more stable syn-isomer, during the work-up process. The higher stability of syn-isomers is ascribed to the stronger hyperconjugative sigma(C-H)->sigma*(S-O) interaction versus the weaker sigma(C-C)->sigma*(S-O) delocalization in their anti-counterparts and to the existence of intramolecular 1,5-CH center dot center dot center dot C hydrogen bonds.}, language = {en} } @article{MutaiHeydenreichThoithietal.2013, author = {Mutai, Peggoty and Heydenreich, Matthias and Thoithi, Grace and Mugumbate, Grace and Chibale, Kelly and Yenesew, Abiy}, title = {3-Hydroxyisoflavanones from the stem bark of dalbergia melanoxylon - isolation, antimycobacterial evaluation and molecular docking studies}, series = {Phytochemistry letters}, volume = {6}, journal = {Phytochemistry letters}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1874-3900}, doi = {10.1016/j.phytol.2013.08.018}, pages = {671 -- 675}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Two new 3-hydroxyisoflavanones, (S)-3,4',5-trihydroxy-2',7-dimethoxy-3'-prenylisoflavanone (trivial name kenusanone F 7-methyl ether) and (S)-3,5-dihydroxy-2',7-dimethoxy-2 '',2 ''-dimethylpyrano[5 '',6 '':3',4']isoflavanone (trivial name sophoronol-7-methyl ether) along with two known compounds (dalbergin and formononetin) were isolated from the stem bark of Dalbergia melanoxylon.
