High-yielding one-pot photoinduced transformation of readily available endoaroyl and heteroaroyl Diels-Alder adducts into novel polycyclic aldehydes or their hemiacetals, decorated by carbo- and heterocyclic pendants, is described.

Poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s bearing pyrene pendants exhibited solvent-dependent changes of the fluorescence color (blue and green) and the screw-sense selectivity (left-handed and racemic) in chloroform and 1,1,1-trichloroethane, respectively.

Perylenetetracarboxylic diimide derivatives bearing 2- or 4-peripheral pyrrole pendants could be efficiently crosslinked to form an insoluble film either by electropolymerization or visible light induced oxidative photopolymerization of the pyrrole units.

In this work twelve benzo[k,l]xanthene lignans were synthesized by biomimetic, Mn-mediated oxidative coupling of caffeic esters and amides. These compounds, bearing different flexible pendants at position C1/C2 of the aromatic core, interact with DNA in a dual mode, as confirmed by DF-STD NMR analysis and molecular docking: the planar core acts as a base pair intercalant, whereas the flexible p...

Decorations of the Chernyakhiv—Sintana-de-Mures Culture (ChSM) includes metal and leather pendants which by some morphological features can be considered as derivatives roman bulla. Bulla is a small capsule pendant folded from two identical halves. It’s assumed that bulla originated with Etruscans in VIIth century BC. The was later borrowed romans, who originally intended it for boys — children...

In the Late Mesolithic graves of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, northwest Russia, large numbers Eurasian elk ( Alces alces ) incisors have been found. These teeth, for most part fashioned into portable pendants, seem to formed decorative sets garments or accessories deceased. This article examines both technologies associated with these artefacts and their uses, as well reflecting on sensorial experien...

Great effort is geared toward investigation of new materials for solar energy conversion in recent years. Polymeric chromophore assemblies consisting of [Ru(bpy)3](2+) complexes attached to a polystyrene backbone have gained considerable interest in recent years because of their structural flexibility combined with their ability to efficiently capture solar energy and transport the captured ene...

In this paper, we introduce the first evidence of use human bone for making pendants in Northeast Europe. Twelve 37 studied made long splinters turned out to be bone. Here, present ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry) identifications artefacts and their traceological analysis, discuss implications archaeology Mesolithic burial practices. Our results indicate that raw material some items ...

This article discusses detectors (more precisely: sensors), that are employed in single point, i.e. true confocal scanning microscopes. The sensors in such systems are usually photomultiplier tubes. Also, the silicon pendants of PMTs are used for particular applications, especially single-molecule measurements. A new development has led to chimeric devices called hybrid detector (HyD) which uni...

Modular preassembly of azaxylylene photoprecursors, halogen-substituted in the aromatic ring, their intramolecular [4 + 4] or [4 + 2] cycloadditions to tethered unsaturated pendants, and subsequent postphotochemical capstone modification of the primary photoproducts via Suzuki coupling provides rapid access to diverse biaryls of unprecedented topology. This synthetic sequence allows for rapid g...
