A new approach to the interpretation of residual dipolar couplings for the regular secondary structures of proteins is presented. This paper deals with the analysis of the steric and chiral requirements of protein secondary structures and establishes a quantitative correlation between structure periodicity and the experimental values of the backbone residual dipolar couplings. Building on the r...

An efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro oxindolopyrrolidines/pyrrolizidines with highly regio- and diastereo-enantio, selective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and chiral menthol-drived trans-cinnamic are described. The mechanism of the reaction is discussed on basis of the assignment of the absolute configuration of one of the cy...

In this research an effective and appropriate method has been developed for one-pot synthesis of new N-phenyl fulleroisoxazoline using Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles as a green magnetically recyclable catalyst. The prepared catalytic samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and VSM. The products have been characterized by physical and spectroscopic data such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MS analyses.

The effect of dipolar interactions on the coercive field of Ni nanoparticles embedded as layers in a Al2O3 host matrix is discussed. The results for two sets of 5 layer samples with different interlayer spacings and a set of single layer samples are compared for samples with particle size varying from 3 nm single domain to 60 nm multiple domain . The dipolar interactions are strongest in the sa...

Experimental and simulation results of solvation dynamics in ionic liquids have so far been explained in terms of translational motion of the ions constituting the ionic liquids under investigation. A recent theoretical study [Kashyap & Biswas, J Phys Chem B, 114 (2010) 254] has indicated that while translational motion of the constituent ions is indeed responsible for Stokes’ shift dynamics of...

It is known that ammonium azides are both effective and convenient azidation agents, which are widely used in the syntheses of tetrazoles in media of aprotic dipolar solvents. However, until the present time, information about using these reagents for the synthesis of the 1,2,3-triazoles has been absent. In this case, alkali metal azides as well as trimethylsilyzide are the best known azidation...

High-permittivity dielectric particles with resonant magnetic properties are being explored as constitutive elements of new metamaterials and devices. Magnetic properties of low-loss dielectric nanoparticles in the visible or infrared are not expected due to intrinsic low refractive index of optical media in these regimes. Here we analyze the dipolar electric and magnetic response of lossless d...

Methods for determining inter-spin distances between nitroxide spin labels from dipolar couplings in the intermediate range (r12≈1.1-2 nm) by CW-EPR are addressed. For nitroxide powder patterns, the assumption of unlike spins is a better approximation than assuming strong coupling between like spins. Methods that determine the average splitting in dipolar deconvolutions yield the mean value 〈1/...

Herein, three environment-sensitive (solvatochromic) fluorescent dyes presenting a strong electron acceptor 3-methoxychromone unit and varied electron donor 2-aryl were developed. All three dyes showed remarkable polarity-dependent shifts of the emission maximum, which increase with extension of the dye conjugation. For the 3-methoxychromone bearing a 7-(diethylamino)-9,9-dimethylfluoren-2-yl d...
