The state of vanadium ions in VxOy/SBA-15 (2.7 wt % V) was studied with FTIR spectroscopy using CO and NO as probe molecules. Neither CO (at 85 K) nor NO (at RT) adsorb on the oxidized sample because of the coordinative saturation of V5+ ions and the covalent character of the V5+=O bond. After treatment of the sample in 50 kPa H2 at 673 K, the V5+ ions are reduced to two different types of V3+ ...

New arylpiperazines with a four-methylene spacer containing a terminal pyrimido[2,1-f] theophylline fragment were synthesized, and their 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor affinities were determined. All these compounds displayed a high affinity for 5-HT1A receptors (Ki=0.5-21.5 nM), and low affinity for 5-HT2A ones. The results of in vivo experiments showed that compounds revealed potential agonistic ...

complexes of benzo-15-crown-5 macrocycle with li+ and cs+ ions were investigated by 7li and 133cs nmr in a number of nonoqueous solutions. the resulting 1:1 complex with li+ ion was found to be much more stable than that with cs+ ion. with the exception of pyridine solutions the stabilities of the complexes varied inversely with the gutmann donor number of the solvents. some indirect evidence f...

Five structures of co-crystals grown from aqueous solutions equimolar in 15-crown-5 (or 15C5) and [M(H(2)O)(6)](NO(3))(n), M = Al(3+), Cr(3+) and Pd(2+), are reported. The hydrogen-bonding patterns in all are similar: metal complexes including the fragment trans-H(2)O-M-OH(2) alternate with 15C5 molecules, to which they are hydrogen bonded, to form stacks. A literature survey shows that this hy...
