objective during the last three decades sesquiterpenoid lactones have emerged as one of the largest groups of plant products with over 3000 naturally occurring substances known. the genus artemisia characteristically contains this biologically active type of secondary metabolites. with respect to increasing interest in the cytotoxic, antibiotic, phototoxic and antineoplastic activities of sesqu...

A mononuclear platinum(II) complex with two monodentate-S H4tg(-) ligands, [Pt(H4tg-κS)2(bpy)] (1), was newly synthesized by the reaction of [PtCl2(bpy)] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl) with NaH4tg (NaH4tg =1-thio-β-d-glucose sodium salt) in water. Complex 1 reacted with additional [PtCl2(bpy)] in water to give an S-bridged dinuclear complex, [Pt2(μ2-H4tg-κ(1)S:κ(1)S)2(bpy)2](2+) ([2](2+)), in which a s...

A combination of X-ray crystallography, (6)Li, (15)N, and (13)C NMR spectroscopies, and density functional theory computations affords insight into the structures and reactivities of intervening aggregates underlying highly selective asymmetric alkylations of carboxylic acid dianions (enediolates) mediated by the dilithium salt of a C2-symmetric chiral tetraamine. Crystallography shows a trilit...

in this research, the tacticity and microstructure of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) were studied through back bone methylene and methine carbons and protons splitting by carbon (13c nmr), proton (1h nmr) and two-dimensional (2dnmr) nulear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in deuterated etrahydrofuran.polyvinyl chloride was synthesized by emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride (vcm) under pressure t...

The neutral host cucurbit[7]uril forms very stable complexes with a series of cationic cholines (R(3)NCH(2)CH(2)OR'(+)) and their phosphonium analogues (R(3)PCH(2)CH(2)OR'(+)) (R(3) = Me(3), Et(3), or Me(2)Bz, or R(3)N = quinuclidinium, and R' = H, COCH(3), CO(CH(2))(2)CH(3), or PO(3)H), and (+/-)-carnitine, in aqueous solution. The complexation behaviour has been investigated using (1)H and (3...

tacrine (9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine) as a reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (ache),was the first drug for the symptomatic treatment of alzheimer’s disease (ad). nmr structuredetermination still presents some considerable challenges: the method is limited to systems ofrelatively small molecular mass, data collection times are long, data analysis remains a lengthyprocedure, and...

the ir and nmr spectra were coupled with quantum chemical calculations in dft approach usingthe hybrid b3lyp exchange-correlation functional to confirm the structure of 2-methoxycarbonyl-7-methyl-1,3-thiazino[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-4,8-dione 2d.
