L-system

We mentioned in Section 7 6 that the d l system of stereochemical notation while outdated for most purposes is still widely used for carbohydrates and amino acids Likewise Fischer projections find their major application m these same two families of compounds...

The discoveries of optical activity and enantiomeric structures (see the box, page 97) made it important to develop suitable nomenclature for chiral molecules. Two systems are in common use today the so-called d,l system and the (R,S) system. 

The newer (R,S) system of nomenclature is superior to the older d,l system in one important way. The configuration of molecules with more than one... 

Consider the simplest type of L-system namely, a deterministic context-free L-system, also called a DOL-Systeni. As the name implies, the production rules of such systems are allowed to transform only single symbols i.e. the dynamics is independent of all neighboring symbol values. DOL-Systems are thus generalized CA systems that are allowed to add sites but whose local rule depends only on a given site itself and none of its neighbors. 

It was mentioned at the outset that L-systems were designed as tools for modeling filamentous plants. Since, as we have just seen, there is no real intrinsic structure or geometry in L-systems, a plant may be given some semblance of physical structure only by an appropriate graphical re-interpretation of a somewhat souped-up alphabet.

The 14e compound MTO readily forms coordination complexes of the type MTO-L and MTO-L2 with anionic and uncharged Lewis bases [96], These yellow adducts are typically five- or six-coordinate complexes, and the Re-L system is highly labile. Apart from their fast hydrolysis in wet solvents, MTO-L adducts are much less thermally stable then MTO itself. The pyridine adduct of MTO, for instance, decomposes even at room temperature. In solution, methyltrioxorhenium displays high stability in acidic aqueous media, although its decomposition is strongly accelerated at increased hydroxide concentrations [97, 98], Thus, under basic aqueous conditions MTO decomposes as shown in Equation (4). 

Because of the somewhat ambiguous definitions of D and L, another system of nomendature was devised for asymmetric compounds, and it has largely replaced the old D, L-system since the 1960s. However, the D, L-nomendature is still used for amino adds and sugars.

From the data reported in Fig. 8, it clearly emerges that the acidity of the silicalite-l/H20 and of the TS-I/H2O systems are remarkably different (compare open and full circles in Fig. 8). This difference can be explained as follows TS-1 has two main acidic sites, Ti(IV) Lewis sites and silanols, mainly located in the internal defective nests (see Sect. 3.8), while only the latter are present in silicalite-1. Addition of H2O2 to siUcaUte-l does not modify the titration curve (compare open circles with open squares in Fig. 8). This means that no additional acidic sites appear in the siUcaUte-l system upon adding H2O2, i.e., that hydrogen peroxide molecules coordinated to internal silanol do not modify their acidity. Conversely, addition of H2O2 to TS-1 moves the whole titration curve toward lower pH values, (compare full circles with full...

Like the glucose carrier, the carriers for large neutral amino acids, the so-called L-system - now designated LAT - are present at both sides of the endothelial cell membranes and transport at least 10 essential amino acids. The L-transporter at the BBB has a much higher transport capacity than those in other tissues. Its marked preference for phenylalanine analogs explains why the anticancer drugs melphalan and d,l-NAM-7 are transported by the L-system, as is the L-Dopa used to treat Parkinson s disease [42]. 

An overview of the catalytically active M-L systems is presented in terms of both achiral and chiral reactions. Where deemed appropriate, reference is also made to organometallic and organolanthanide catalysts, as well as (briefly) H—X addition to C=0.
