The Chemistry of Rain Water. Part II

Preparation of the Phencyclidine Analogues (Part II)

Using a-tetralone, as starting material, a series of phencyclidine analogues were synthesized. This ketone was reacted separately with ethylmagnesium bromide, P-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide and P-methylphenylmagnesium bromide. The resultant alcohols were treated with a suspension of NaN3 and CCl3COOH in CHCl3. The azides were subsequently...

Water oxidation chemistry of photosystem II.

Photosystem II (PSII) uses light energy to split water into protons, electrons and O2. In this reaction, nature has solved the difficult chemical problem of efficient four-electron oxidation of water to yield O2 without significant amounts of reactive intermediate species such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals. In order to use nature's solution for the design of artificial ...

Isomerism in the Chemistry of Organogermanium Compounds (Part II)

The organogermanium chemistry covers huge fields, as shown by a survey covering the crystallographic and structural data of over four hundred and fifty examples. Over 10 percent of those compounds exist as distortion isomers (around 97 %) and ligand isomers (around 3 %). These are discussed in term of coordination around the Ge(II), Ge(IV) and Ge2 +3 atoms, and correlations are drawn between do...
