It has been known since the late 1800’s that connected (n3) configurations exist if an only if n ≥ 9. However, the analogous question concerning connected (n4) configurations was not considered till very recently ([2], [3]). This is probably due to the fact that –– except for one paper early in the 20 century [5], there has been no mention in the literature of (n4) configurations till 1990 ([4]...

The tetradentate ligands (R)N4 ((R)N4 = N,N'-di-alkyl-2,11-diaza[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane, R = Me or iPr) were found to stabilize cationic ((R)N4)PdMe(2) and ((R)N4)PdMeCl complexes in both Pd(III) and Pd(IV) oxidation states. This allows for the first time a direct structural and reactivity comparison of the two Pd oxidation states in an identical ligand environment. The Pd(III) complexes exhibi...

We present a new Priestley-style topological duality for bounded N4-lattices, which are the algebraic counterpart of paraconsistent Nelson logic. Our duality differs from the existing one, due to Odintsov, in that we only rely on Esakia duality for Heyting algebras and not on the duality for De Morgan algebras of Cornish and Fowler. A major advantage of our approach is that for our topological ...

A novel series of N'-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-(4-substituted benzaldehyde)-semicarbazones, N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted phenyl)ethanone]-semicarbazones and N1-{5-[(1H-indol-3-ylmethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}-N4-[1-(4-substituted phenyl) (phenyl) methanone]-semicarbazones were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsan...

Bacteriophage N4 regulates the temporal expression of its genome through the activity of three distinct RNA polymerases (RNAP). Expression of the early genes is carried out by a phage-encoded, virion-encapsidated RNAP (vRNAP) that is injected into the host at the onset of infection and transcribes the early genes. These encode the components of new transcriptional machinery (N4 RNAPII and cofac...

N4-Ethyl-L-[u-14C]asparagine and L-[U-14C]aspartate give identical metabolites, mainly intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and related amino acids, in whole cells of Pseudomonas stutzeri. The labelled asparagine derivative is converted into [14C]-aspartate by cell-free extracts, and this reaction, which has an optimum pH of 8.8 +/- 0.2, is neither inhibited by unlabelled asparagine no...
