Reaction of n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L1, n-propylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol), H(2)L2, and benzylamino-N,N-bis(2-methylene-4-tert-butyl-6-methylphenol), H(2)L3, with anhydrous ferric chloride in the presence of base yields the products, [FeL1(μ-Cl)](2) (1), [FeL2(μ-Cl)](2) (2) and [FeL3(μ-Cl)](2) (3). In the solid state, these com...

Ustiloxin D and phomopsin A are potent antimitotic agents that bind to tubulin and interfere with cellular microtubule function. A synthetic strategy has been developed to allow access to both of the natural products as well as a variety of variants of the ustiloxin and phomopsin family members in order to provide sufficient quantities for biological studies. Herein we report the enantioselecti...

In ternary water-oil-nonionic alkyl polyglycol ether (C(i)E(j)) microemulsions, an increase in efficiency is always accompanied by the formation of a lamellar (L(alpha)) phase. The addition of an amphiphilic block copolymer to the ternary base system increases the efficiency of the microemulsion drastically while suppressing--at least partly--the formation of the L(alpha) phase. However, amphip...

The structure of micelles formed by nonionic polyoxyethylene alkyl ether nonionic surfactants, C n E m , in the room-temperature ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), has been determined by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) as a function of alkyl and ethoxy chain length, concentration, and temperature. Micelles are found to form for all alkyl chains from dodecyl through to octadecyl. D...

A series of new ditriphenyltin(IV) dicarboxylate complexes general formula (Ph3SnOOC-Pz)2R with Pz: pyrazole and R: alkyl or ether, have been synthesized from bipyrazoledicarboxylic acid hydroxytripheyltin. These complexes, noted C1-C7, characterized by IR, 1H 13C NMR spectroscopies. The molecular structures C3: 1,3-Bis[(5-methyl-2-H-3-triphenyltincarboxylate pyrazol)]propane C7: Bis[(2-methyl-...

Recently, there have been numerous efforts to develop hydrogen-rich organic materials because hydrogen energy is emerging as a renewable source. In this regard, we designed and prepared four new based on N-alkyl-bis(carbazole), 9,9′-(2-methylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(9H-carbazole) (MBC), 9,9′-(2-ethylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(9H-carbazole) (EBC), 9,9′-(2-propylpropane-1,3-diyl)bis(9H-carbazole) (PBC), 9,...
