The title compound, C30H32N4, was synthesized by the photodimerization of trans-4-{2-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-phen-yl]ethen-yl}pyridine in benzene upon irradiation with UV light. This photodimer has a puckered cyclo-butane ring with the four aryl substituents in an r-1,t-2,c-3,t conformation. The puckering angle of the cyclo-butane ring is 32.22 (7)°, which is the largest among reported tetra-aryl-...

VT transition from the high-spin CoII to low-spin CoIII state was observed for complex (N-cyclo-hexyl-2-iminopyridine)(3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinonato)(3,6-di-tert-butyl-catecholato)cobalt in both solid and liquid form. For first time we demonstrate a low-temperature nanosecond pump-probe XANES experiment revealing valence tautomeric solution of Co complex. Reversible induced under tempe...

Rigid cyclo-FF peptide aggregates have been studied under isolated conditions using a molecular beam-laser desorption setup. Far-IR action spectroscopy provided highly diagnostic spectra, allowing the assignment of various ladder-like conformations.

Port-Hamiltonian systems theory provides a structured approach to modelling, optimization and control of multiphysical systems. Yet, its relationship thermodynamics seems be unclear. The Hamiltonian is traditionally thought as energy, although meaning exergy. This insight yields benefits: 1. Links the GENERIC structure are identified, making it relatively easy borrow ideas from popular framewor...

The beneficial effects of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) inhibitors in both colon cancer and adenomatous polyps suggest a role for the prostanoid pathway in epithelial malignancy. Although variable prostanoid synthesis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been demonstrated in freshly obtained tissue, COX messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and protein localization in such tumours had not been investi...

We previously showed oxidative damage and edema within skeletal muscle after contractile claudication. To investigate the sources of this oxidative damage in the gastrocnemius muscle, we administered allopurinol (Allo, to inhibit xanthine oxidase) and cyclophosphamide (Cyclo, to deplete neutrophils) before inducing contractile claudication in male Sprague Dawley rats. Contractile claudication (...

Treatment of N,N-bis-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1,4-di-amine with hydro-chloric acid in ethanol led to the formation of the title salt, C18H26N42+·2Cl-·2H2O, which lies about a crystallographic inversion center at the center of the cyclo-hexyl ring. The asymmetric unit therefore comprises one half of the N,N-bis-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)cyclo-hexane-1,4-di-ammonium dication, a chloride anion...

Two new cyclic peptides were isolated from the fruit peels of Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis SWINGLE. Their structures were elucidated as cyclo(-Gly-Asp-Leu-Thr-Val-Tyr-Phe-) and cyclo(-Gly-Leu-Pro-Trp-Leu-Ile-Ala-Ala-) by intensive two-dimensional (2D) NMR analysis and chemical evidence.

In the title compound, C(21)H(30)O(3), the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation, the cyclo-hexene ring displays a half-chair conformation and the two cyclo-hexane rings have normal chair conformations. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding links the mol-ecules into supra-molecular chains running along [100].

The Pd(II) atom in the title compound, [Pd(C24H49P2)Cl], has a distorted square-planar CClP2 coordination geometry with the P,C,P'-tridentate ligand forming two five-membered metallacycles. The cyclo-hexane ring is aligned with the Pd(II) coordination plane due to C-H activation in an equatorial position, giving a tri-equatorial conformation of the cyclo-hexyl ring.
