The structure of the title compound, C(26)H(29)NO(7), at 173 K has an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. This is one of the few examples where a mono-ketone penta-cyclo-undecane (PCU) mol-ecule exibits hydrogen bonding in the solid state. The dihedral angles of the amide and ester groups are normal and unaffected by the cage structure. A longer than normal C-C bond [1.571 (4) Å] was found wit...

Since the grain boundaries (GBs) within the semiconductor layer of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have a strong influence on device performance, a substantial number of studies have been devoted to controlling the crystallization characteristics of organic semiconductors. We studied the intrinsic effects of GBs within 5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene (TES-ADT) thin fil...

Teaching axiomatic mathematics on a computer bas traditionally involved the construction of derivations in a formal system. Heretofore theseforrnal systems have simply been adopted from mathematical logic. Such systems were designed, however, to make it easy to prove results about the system rather than to make it easy to prove results in the system. This paper describes a camputerprogram for t...

7-Hydroxy-quinine was synthesized by an asymmetric aldol reaction that establishes the C8 and C9 stereochemistry, followed by construction of the 3-vinyl-quinuclidine azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane by C3-C4 ring closure using an intramolecular palladium-mediated allylic alkylation with excellent regio- and diastereoselectivity. This is the first report of a ketone-enolate-stereocontrolled allylic alky...

Persulfides of cysteine (CysSSH), glutathione (GSSH) or N-methoxycarbonyl-penicillamine (NAcPenSSH) react with the ferric form of myoglobin (metMb(iii)) to yield the oxy-ferrous (oxyMb(ii)) or deoxy-ferrous (deoxyMb(ii)) forms of myoglobin under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, respectively. Under aerobic conditions, CysSSH and NAcPenSSH react with the hypervalent form of myoglobin (ferrylMb(iv...

The Cu(II) atom in the title salt, [Cu(C(10)H(24)N(4))(H(2)O)(2)](C(6)F(5)CO(2))(2)·2H(2)O, is chelated by the four N atoms of the 1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane (cyclam) ligand and is coordinated by two water mol-ecules in a Jahn-Teller-type tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Cu(II) atom lies on a center of inversion. The cations, anions and uncoordinated water mol-ecules...

The Cu(II) atom in the title salt, [Cu(C(10)H(24)N(4))(H(2)O)(2)](C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)·H(2)O, is chelated by the four N atoms of the 1,4,8,11-tetra-aza-cyclo-tetra-decane (cyclam) ligand and is coordinated by two water mol-ecules in a Jahn-Teller-type of tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral geometry. The cations, anions and lattice water mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to for...
