The Asymmetric Traveling Purchaser Problem (ATPP) is a generalization of the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem with several applications in the routing and the scheduling contexts. This problem is defined as follows. Let us consider a set of products and a set of markets. Each market is provided with a limited amount of each product at a known price. The ATPP consists in selecting a subset ...

Self-assembled monolayers of a water-insoluble porphyrin, tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP), in the presence of an aqueous electrolyte were characterized in situ with electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM) at working electrode potentials of between 0.5 and -0.2 V. Isolated domains of TPP monolayers with differing orientation were observed on Au(111) in 0.1 M HClO(4) over this entire p...

A general chiroptical protocol for determination of absolute configuration of secondary amines including acyclic and cyclic aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, amino acids, and amino alcohols is described. The chiral substrate is linked to the achiral carrier moiety (3-N-Boc-amino-propyl-N-Boc-amino)acetic acid 1 (BocHNCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)BocNCH(2)COOH), which after deprotection, yields a bidentate c...

Porphyrins molecules are gaining importance in the present era. Porphyrins are important part of biological molecules like hemoglobin and chlorophyll .Photo system 1 and photo system 2 is important sunlight trap in chloroplast. Electron transport chain is a series of chemical reaction in which energy is formed in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).The members of electron transport chains ...

For the first time AFM (atomic-force microscopy) was used to record significant changes in geometric parameters of image erythrocytes vitro under conditions glycolytic starvation (ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) deficiency). The difference action antioxidants, phenosan K, and Ihfan-10 on that we detected with seems be mainly due their hydrophobicity. We method research self-organization components...

Two metal-free tetra(aryl)porphyrin derivatives modified by one and four N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amino group(s), namely porphyrin-1-DPA (1) and porphyrin-4-DPA (2) respectively, have been designed, synthesized, and characterized. Binding with Pb(2+) induces a significant change in their solution color and in the ratio of two absorption/fluorescence signal peaks, rendering them the first example...

A synthetic protocol for the construction of new meso-substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalinoporphyrins is described starting from 5-(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin. The reaction of this porphyrin with 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran, followed by the reduction of the nitro group in the presence of NiCl2/NaBH4 afforded 5-(3-amino-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin....

Some meso-tetra aryl porphyrinato manganese (III) acetate or chloride complexes including meso-tetraphenyl porphyrinato manganese (III) chloride (TPPMnCl), meso-tetrakis(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)porphyrinato manganese(III) acetate, (T(2,3-OMeP)PMnOAc) and meso-tetrakis(pentaflourophenyl)porphyrinato manganese (III) acetate (TPFPPMnOAc) were synthesized. These porphyrins were used as catalyst in the ...
