Ladder positioning

Are the ladders positioned so that users don t have to over-stretch or climb over obstacles to work ... 

The ladder diagram for this system is shown in Figure 11.24a. Initially the potential of the working electrode remains nearly constant at a level near the standard-state potential for the Fe UFe redox couple. As the concentration of Fe + decreases, however, the potential of the working electrode shifts toward more positive values until another oxidation reaction can provide the necessary current. Thus, in this case the potential eventually increases to a level at which the oxidation of H2O occurs. 

Is it positioned correctly (e.g. ladders at the correct ratio of 4 1 scaffold on a sound footing) ... 

Sn-i,u equation (6.44) allows one to go down the ladder and obtain Sn i,i from Snh Taking the positive square root in going from equation (6.43) to... 

Anderson has produced a range of improved zinc porphyrin-DABCO ladder complexes where an aromatic substituent in the meso position reduces aggregation (57). The 1H NMR spectra show a characteristic... 

A possible explanation for the formation of this planar ladder structure can be found in the close geometrical similarity of 7 to (3-gallium. The relative positions of the Ga atoms in 7 are comparable to those found in (3-gallium (see Fig. 18), but as expected, the Ga-Ga distances in 7 are all shorter than in (3-gallium due to a more molecular kind of bonding. This means that in 7 the formation of metalloid structures is preferred over the formation of polyhedral structures, which results in the unusual arrangement of the Ga atoms. 

Oxidation of Si-Si bonds with peracids is one of the fundamental reactions of polysilanes.47 The ladder polysilanes have several unequivalent Si-Si bonds, and it seems interesting to study the selectivity of their oxidation positions.48,49... 

The ESR spectra of the radical anions of the ladder polysilanes show a relatively broad signal with satellites (Fig. 16). From the intensity, the satellites are attributed to the 13C nuclei at the -positions of the isopropyl groups rather than the 29Si nuclei. The number of spin couplings is equal to the number of equivalent carbon atoms at the a-positions, indicating that the spin is highly delocalized. These results resemble those of the radical anions of other cyclopolysilanes observed by ESR57 and can be explained by... 

Fundamental knowledge on the structures and properties of the ladder polysilanes has accumulated in our research for the past 15 years. Some results were unpredictable, including the silicon double helix structure, the domino oxidation, the formation of persistent radical anions, the Diels-Alder reactions at the 1,4-positions of anthracene, etc. These results let us recognize that the construction of novel structures will open the new chemistry. 

A similar investigation of the base adducts of K(PBu Ph) shows that [ KfPBuTh fTHF)], (34), [ K(PButPh) 2(AT-MeIm)]I (35), and I K(PBu Ph ) 2(py) lx (36) also adopt extended polymeric ladder structures in the solid state (74). These adducts resemble the Rb and Cs complexes 28—33 however, the base coligands in 34—36 do not bridge the potassium atoms but are bound in a terminal fashion. In each case there are two types of potassium atom in alternate positions... 

I-Solenoid repeats usually have several x or x x sequence patterns that correspond to the /1-strands (here, denotes an apolar residue, and x is mostly polar but can be any residue except pro line). The middle -position in x x usually has a bulky apolar residue, while -residues in positions close to turns are often alanine, glycine, serine, or threonine. These positions are also occupied by asparagine residues that stack to form H-bonded ladders inside the /1-solenoid. The strand-associated x and x x patterns are interrupted by regions enriched in polar residues and glycine (Hennetin et al., 2006). These are regions of turns and loops. The long loops frequently contain proline residues. In several /1-solenoids, the alternation of apolar and polar residues that is typical for /1-strands is not well observed and outside positions are occupied by apolar residues. 

Over the next two decades, Merrifield worked his way up the academic ladder at Rockefeller. He was appointed assistant professor in 1957, associate professor in 1958, and full professor in 1966. In 1983, he was promoted again, this time to the position of John D. Rockefeller Jr. Professor of the Rockefeller University. In 1968, Merrifield also served as Nobel Guest Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden.
