A series of new aryloxymethylquinoxalines, benzo[b]- and naphtho[2,1-b] fury] quinoxalines, possessing potential biological activity, was prepared, characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and their electron ionization (EI) mass spectra studied in detail. The aryloxymethylquinoxalines were obtained by reacting halogenomethylquinoxalines with bifunctional O-nucleophiles. The benzo[b]furylquinoxalines and naphtho[2, I -b]furylquinoxalines were prepared via two routes, which differed in the order of the two cyclization steps involved in the syntheses. The composition of the ions obtained by El mass spectrometry were determined by accurate mass measurements and the fragmentation pathways clarified by B/E linked scans and collision induced dissociation. The mass spectrometric behaviour of the compounds studied as to the possible loss of OH' radicals proved to be very characteristic. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
Synthetic strategies for using the beta-linkage as a structural motif in electron transfer mimics have been tested. Exploratory syntheses of directly meso-beta-linked bis- and trisporphyrins and the first representative X-ray structure of a meso-beta-linked bisporphyrins are reported. The structure reveals a unique form of intramolecular- pi-pi stabilization between one porphyrin and a meso-aryl substituent in a second porphyrin unit that accounts for the stability of different atropisomers in trimers. Using beta-formyl porphyrins, dipyrromethanes, and suitable quinone precursor aldehydes, mixed condensations gave convenient access to porphyrin-porphyrin-quinone (P-P-Q) donor acceptor systems consisting of a meso-beta-linked bisporphyrin. a spacer, and a quinone acceptor.

The paper is focused on the formation and redispersion of monodisperse BaSO4 nanoparticles in polyelectrolyte- modified microemulsions. It is shown that a cationic polyelectrolyte of low molar mass, e.g. poly(dially1dimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), can be incorporated into the individual inverse microemulsion droplets (L2 phase) consisting of heptanol, water, and an amphoteric surfactant with a sulfobetaine head group. These PDADMAC- filled microemulsion droplets can be successfully used as a template phase for the nanoparticle formation. The monodisperse BaSO4 nanoparticles are produced by a simple mixing procedure and can be redispersed after solvent evaporation without a change in particle dimensions. Dynamic and electrophoretical light scattering in combination with sedimentation experiments in the analytical Ultracentrifuge of the redispersed powder show polyelectrolyte-stabilized nanoparticles with diameters of about 6 nm. The polyelectrolyte shows a "size control effect", which can be explained by the polyelectrolyte-surfactant interactions in relation to the polyelectrolyte-nanoparticle interactions during the particle growth, solvent evaporation and redispersion process. However, the approach used here opens away to produce different types of polyelectrolyte-stabilized nanoparticles (including rare metals, semiconductors, carbonates or oxides) of very small dimensions.

Binucleating aza-sulfonate and aza-sulfinate macrocycles : Synthesis and coordination chemistry
(2004)
The preparation and ligating properties of S-oxygenated derivatives of a macrobinucleating hexaazadithiophenolate macrocycle H2L1 of the Robson type towards nickel(II) and zinc(II) ions are reported. Nickel complexes of the hexaazadiphenylsulfonate ligand (L-2)(2-)[(L-2)Ni-2(II)(mu-L)](+)(L = m-Cl-OBz(-) (3), Cl- (4) and OAc- (6)] are readily obtained in high yields by oxidation of the respective [(L-1)Ni-2(II)(mu-L)](+) parent complexes [L = m- Cl-OBz- (2), Cl- (1), OAc- (5)] with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid or hydrogen peroxide. Decomposition of the sulfonate complexes gives the free macrocycle H2L2 which, upon treatment with Zn(OAc)(2)(.)2H(2)O, produces the diamagnetic zinc complex [(L-2)Z(2)(II)(OAc)](+) (8). A dinuclear Cu-II complex of the hexaazadisulfinate derivative (L-3')(2-), [(L-3)CU2II](2+) (9), is formed rather unexpectedly by air oxidation of (L-1)(2-) in the presence of Cu-I. The crystal- structure determinations of the perchlorate or tetraphenylborate salts of 2, 3, and 4 show that the new ligands support the formation of binuclear complexes with bowl-shaped, calixarene-like binding cavities. NMR spectroscopic studies of 8 show that the complexes retain their solid-state structures in solution. A crystal-structure determination of 9 reveals two five-coordinate Cu-II ions bridged by the two sulfinate functions of (L-3)(2-)
An acyclic alkene derived from a carbohydrate is employed as a substrate for manganese-mediated radical reactions for the first time. The addition of malonate is interesting for the mechanism of such reactions, whereas acetic acid as radical precursor affords lactones in excellent yield. The main diastereomer was easily separated and represents a key intermediate in the synthesis of KDO
Reaction of 2,3.7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin with LiR reagents containing functional groups readily yields meso substituted derivatives suitable for further transformations with residues such as -p-C6H5Br, -p-C6H5-C=CH - p-C6H5-NH2 or -(CH2)(3)-CH=CH2. Similar reactions of tetrabenzoporphyrin with alkyllithium reagents afforded the first entry into meso mono- and dialkylsubstituted tetrabenzoporphyrins while reaction of bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-type masked isoindole precursors with LiR followed by in situ retro-Diels-Alder reaction also afforded the 5-phenyl and 5,10- diphenyltetrabenzoporphyrins in high purity.

Hydrophobically substituted diallylamines bearing a hexyl, dodecyl, or octadecyl chain were synthesized and homopolymerized as hydrochlorides. Copolymerixation of the diallylamines with maleic acid produces alternating copolymers. The copolymers behave as amphiphilic polyampholytes and dissolve best in the acidic or in the basic form. Only the colpolymer with the hexyl chain could be dissolved in aqueous solvents and shows hydrophobic associaiton. The copolymers with the longer alkyl chains require polar protic organic solvents. All polymers are amorphous, but show a superstructure in bulk due to their amphiphilicity
Polymer-induced structural changes in lecithin/sodium dodecyl sulfate-based multilamellar vesicles
(2004)
Aqueous concentrated lecithin mixtures (asolectin from soybean) show typical lamellar liquid crystalline behavior and the individual lamellae tend to form spherical supramolecular structures, i.e., multilamellar vesicles. When part of the lecithin is replaced by the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SIDS), the compact multilamellar vesicles disappear and the viscosity decreases. By adding oly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) to the lecithin/SDS system, the formation of multilamellar vesicles can be induced again and the viscosity increases. However, one characteristic feature of these polymer-modified systems is a temperature-dependent phase transition from a compact multilamellar vesicle phase to a more swollen liquid crystalline phase. The polymer-modified multilamellar compact vesicles are of interest for utilization as new thermosensitive drug delivery systems. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
