Chiral cyclic compounds exhibited light-driven twisting by means of trans-cis photoisomerization in 1,4-dioxane solution, a neat film, and a liquid-crystalline host.

A range of 1,2,4-trisubstituted cyclohexadienes obtained from the Birch reaction were hydrogenated asymmetrically to produce synthetically valuable chiral compounds in high enantio- and diastereoselectivity.

Two new chiral sandwich-type bis(phthalocyaninato) yttrium double-decker complexes including the homoleptic species (R)- and (S)-Y[Pc(OBNP)4]2 (1) and a heteroleptic analogue (R)- and (S)-Y(Pc)[Pc(OBNP)4] (2) {Pc = unsubstituted phthalocyaninate; [Pc(OBNP)4] = tetrakis(dinaphtho[1,2-e:1',2'-g]-1,4-(dioxocine)[2,3-b;2',3'-k;2'',3''-t;2''',3'''-c']phthalocyaninate)} have been synthesized and spec...

synthesis of some new monocyclic β-lactams containing a quaternary carbon center via a [2+2]cycloaddition reaction is described. the reaction of achiral diphenyl ketene with chiral aldimines derivedfrom chiral 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosylamine, 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-o-acetyl-β-dglucopyranosylamine and different benzaldehydes resulted in the formation of β-lactams as singlediastereo...

Reactions of zinc sulfate and (R)- or (S)-(1-phenylethylamino)methylphosphonic acid (pempH(2)) in the presence of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H(2)bdc) result in homochiral enantiomers (R)- and (S)-[Zn(4)(pempH)(4)(bdc)(2)].2H(2)O (). When H(2)bdc is replaced by 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H(4)btec), enantiomers (R)- and (S)-[Zn(3)(pempH)(2)(btec)(H(2)O)(2)].H(2)O () are obtained. Com...

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of compounds of formula [Fe(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)]·0.5(CH(3)NO(2)) (1), [Fe(III)(5-Brsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (2), and [In(III)(5-Clsal(2)-trien)][Mn(II)Cr(III)(ox)(3)] (3) are reported. The structure of the three compounds, which crystallize in the orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) chiral space group, presents a 3D ...

The study was designed to investigate some central effects of chiral xanthone derivatives [(R,S)-2-N-(6-chloro-2-xanthonemethyl)-amino-1-propanol - MH-31, R enantiomer - MH-32 and S enantiomer - MH-33] in mice. The effects of these chiral compounds were examined in picrotoxin-induced seizures, spontaneous locomotor activity and chimney tests. The tested compounds demonstrated variable influence...

The loop algebra L(sl2) symmetry is found in a sector of the nilpotent BazhanovStroganov model. The Drinfeld polynomial of a L(sl2)-degenerate eigenspace of the model is equivalent to the polynomial [4, 5, 10–14] which characterizes a subspace with the Isinglike spectrum of the superintegrable chiral Potts model.

Core-shell silica microspheres with a nanocellulose derivative in the hybrid shell were successfully prepared as a chiral stationary phase by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method. The hybrid shell assembled on the silica core was formed using a surfactant as template by the copolymerization reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate and the nanocellulose derivative bearing triethoxysilyl and 3,5-dim...

The N,N'-dimesitylene substituted o-phenylenediamine 1 reacts with Sn[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) under formation of the monomeric N-heterocyclic stannylene 2, while the chiral N,N'-substituted o-phenylenediamine 3 reacts with E[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) (E = Ge, Sn) under formation of the chiral germylene 4 and the chiral stannylene 5, respectively. X-Ray diffraction studies with both stannylenes demonstrated t...
