A novel two-dimensional NMR pulse sequence, H2BC, for long-range correlation of 1H and 13C nuclei is presented. The experiment has several attractive features compared to the widely used HMBC experiment, for example, (a) typically strong enhancement of correlations over two bonds while suppressing those over more bonds, that is, resolving ambiguities in standard HMBC spectra and showing two-bon...

this paper will examine ibn sina’s theory of the conditional syllogism from a purely logical point of view, and will lay bare the principles he adopted for founding his theory, and the reason why the newly introduced part of his logic remained undeveloped and eventually was removed from the texts of logic in the later islamic tradition. as a preliminary discussion, this paper briefly examines i...

The crystal structure of the deoxygenated form of the human hemoglobin beta 4 tetramer (deoxy beta 4) has been determined and refined at a resolution of 1.9 A. A detailed comparison of the quaternary structures of carbonmonoxy-beta 4 (CO beta 4) and deoxy beta 4 shows that ligand binding to the beta 4 tetramer produces only slight movements of the subunits relative to each other. Therefore, unl...

An efficient, unified, and stereodivergent approach toward communesin F and perophoramidine was examined. The C(3) all-carbon quaternary center of an oxindole was smoothly constructed by base-promoted indolone-malonate alkylation chemistry. The complementary relative stereochemistry of the crucial vicinal quaternary centers found in communesin F and perophoramidine was selectively installed by ...

Nitrogen-doped graphene materials with abundant pyridinic and quaternary nitrogen species were selectively synthesized by thermal surface polymerization of nitrogen-containing aromatic molecules. Catalytic studies revealed that the oxygen reduction by nitrogen-doped graphene, containing pyridinic and quaternary nitrogen species, proceeds via a four- and two-electron reduction pathway, respectiv...

The objective of this study was to answer the following question: are quaternary ammonium antibacterials suitable for dental materials? Reviewing the literature on quaternary ammonium compounds evidenced that this type of compounds is soluble in water. Our own findings also showed that they are well soluble in water and that their application as dental composites requires to check their solubil...

A simple amphiphilic surfactant containing a mono-quaternary ammonium head group (N-methylpiperidine) is effective in imparting substantial mesoporosity during synthesis of SSZ-13 and ZSM-5 zeolites. Highly mesoporous SSZ-13 prepared in this manner shows greatly improved catalytic performance in the methanol-to-olefins reaction compared to bulk SSZ-13.
