The ultrasensitive differential scanning calorimetry is used to observe the glass transition in thin (1-400 nm) spin-cast films of polystyrene, poly (2-vinyl pyridine) and poly (methyl methacrylate) on a platinum surface. A pronounced glass transition is observed even at a thickness as small as 1-3 nm. Using the high heating (20-200 K/ms) and cooling (1-2 K/ms in glass transition region) rates ...

The reactions of [2+3] cycloaddition of pyridylnitrile oxides to vinyl- and allylgermanes proceed regioselectively and afford 5-Ge-substituted isoxazolines-2. We have synthesized 9 new pyridyl substituted 5-Si(Ge)-isoxazolines-2 and investigated their biological activity. The vasodilating, anticoagulant and cardioprotective activities of 5-Si(Ge) substituted isoxazolines-2 have been studied in ...

Glass transitions were observed in thin films of poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VP) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using a scanning nanocalorimetry technique which has both high sensitivity (10−9 J/K) and high scan rates (104–105 K/s). Samples were deposited by the spin-cast method. The thickness of samples was 100–400 nm. Glass transition temperature, obtained by nanocalorimetry, is shifted t...

Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) capable of selectively recognizing and absorbing 4,4 ′ -methylenedianiline (MDA) were successfully synthesized, using Fe3O4 coated with mesoporous silicon (Fe3O4@mSiO2) as the magnetic carrier, 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP) functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA...

Heme A, isolated from bovine heart muscle by procedures which include extractions into pyridine/ chloroform and two-phase, liquid-liquid chromatography on Celite, has been converted to several derivatives. Examination of the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (PMR) spectra and other properties of these derivatives reveals heme A to be the iron complex of %formyl-6,7-bis(2”-hydroxycarbonylethyl)-...

Hexahydro-3-alkyl-3H-oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridines 4–15 for the quantitative analysis of various aldehydes were obtained in good yield via condensation reaction 2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (2-HMP) with under mild conditions. When acrolein was used, bicyclic 17 obtained. This novel compound has suitable physical characteristics an analytical standard. The hexahydro-3-vinyl-3H-oxazolo[3,4-a]pyridine 16 c...
