The 1, 3-bis(trimethyl silyl)ether of p-tert-butyl calix[4]arene, Rt-Bu)Ca1ixTMS21112, has beensynthesized and used as a dianionic ligand for "Sn". The complex of [(t-Bu)Ca1ixTMS2]Snexhibits exo and endo isomerism. The structural properties of [(Rp)Ca1ixTMS2]Sn, (Rpara= H,CH3, t-Bu) and the inter conversion of exoendo isomers were investigated by using of SCF-MOPM3 method.

Assembly of Fe(II), 3-cyanopyridine and [Au(CN)2](-) affords, in one-pot reaction, three coordination polymers that represent a genuine example of supramolecular isomerism with strong influence in the spin crossover regime of the Fe(II) ions.

Prompt publication of brief reports of important discoveries in physics may be secured by addressing them to this department. Closing dates for this department are, for the first issue of the month, the eighteenth of tke preceding month, for the second issue, the third of tke month. Because of the late closing dates for the section no proof can be shorn to authors. The Board of Editors does not...

The isomerism effect on the aggregate emission properties of perylene diimide derivatives is studied. Banking their bright emission, a cellular imaging test based nanoparticles also conducted.

We have previously shown that the 9c,11t-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration was always significantly higher than the 10t,12c-CLA concentration following the administration of these compounds to mice and rats, and considered that structural differences between the conjugated double bonds in these isomers affected absorption in the small intestine. This study investigates the absorption...

Today, virtually every experimental paper published in ‘‘Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics’’ includes characterization of the polymers under study by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In addition to monitoring the various synthetic steps, which eventually lead to the new polymers or supramolecular systems described, high-resolution NMR provides a number of important parameters, ...

The binding of the geometrical isomers (>/=99% pure) of juvenile hormone I to the hemolymph juvenile hormone binding protein of Manduca sexta (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) was analyzed. A technique is described for isomer separation by micropreparative high-resolution liquid chromatography. Analysis of competition was performed by using a "batch adsorption" hydroxylapatite binding assay. Competitio...

lefty-1, lefty-2, and nodal are expressed on the left side of developing mouse embryos and are implicated in left-right (L-R) determination. The role of lefty-1 was examined by analyzing mutant mice lacking this gene. The lefty-1-deficient mice showed a variety of L-R positional defects in visceral organs. Unexpectedly, however, the most common feature of lefty-1-/- mice was thoracic left isome...

Supramolecular isomerism for coordination networks refers to the existence of different architectures having the same building blocks and identical stoichiometries. For a given building block, different arrangements can lead to the formation of a series of supramolecular isomers. Two one-dimensional Co(II) coordination polymers based on N,N'-bis(pyridin-3-yl)oxalamide (BPO), both catena-poly[[[...

Left bronchial isomerism is a rare condition characterized by a bronchial structure on the right side that is a mirror image of the left side. In this report, we record our experience with a 62-year-old female lung cancer patient in whom left bronchial isomerism was discovered during surgery using a thoracoscope. A right upper pulmonary lobectomy was successfully completed, the key to which was...
