This is especially true of the A PA P linkage of which Roesky and his oo-workers have reported a few examples only as recently as 1979/1980 2. — Likewise, a first example of a compound with A P-A P directly bonded has been reported by Richman and Holmes only in 1980 We have undertaken attempts at the synthesis of bifunctional phosphorus compounds involving both P-P bonded systems as well as with phosphorus functions separated by other groups, especially the N,N -dimethylurea group, MeNC( OJNMe The bulk... 

The Q-P-P-Q tetrad 43 has been synthesized by Sessler and coworkers [69, 98]. As expected, it demonstrates strong quenching of the porphyrin fluorescence, and this presumably occurs by electron transfer. It is probable that selective metallation of such a tetrad would produce a species which would behave as a triad in a manner analogous to 17 and 18, but it is not obvious that such a molecule would have any significant advantages over these systems. As is the case with a number of the other complex systems, 43 may in principle demonstrate stereoisomerism when rotations about the linkage bonds are slow on the time scales of electron and energy transfer. 

Now consider condensation of ammonia with ketoester 1.18. The isolated product is not imine 1.19 but the thermodynamically more stable enamine tautomer 1.20 which has a conjugated double bond system and a strong intramolecular hydrogen-bond. Although not a heterocyclic example, 1.20 illustrates that an enamine-like linkage, as in generalised heterocycle 1.21, is also accessible by a condensation reaction. 

Nitrogen is notably unreactive in comparison with isoelectronic, triply bonded systems such asX—C==C—X, C=0 , X—CsN and X—N=C . Both —C=C— and —C=N groups are known to serve as donors by using their n electrons. The inability of N2 to form stable linkages in this way may be... 

All retinal-dependent visual pigments form Schiff bases with lysine side chains of the photoreceptor proteins. How can the same chromophore be "tuned" to absorb across the wavelength range of 360 to 635 nm Modern techniques such as resonance Ra-man and FTIR spectroscopies and study of mutant forms have shown that interaction of the conjugated double bond system of the chromophores with immediately adjacent dipoles of side chain groups and peptide linkages is sufficient to account for the great variability in absorption maxima. 

Activation of the contractile machinary by means of the interaction of Ca " with Troponins (TN) is amenable to a new interpretation in the framework of the proto-osmotic approach. It is suggested that the above interaction serves to establish the hydrogen-bonded systems of F-actin. Each TN overlaps two G-actins and is thus in a position to interfere with their mutual linkages and break the protic circuit of F-actin in the absence of Ca ". The interaction of Ca " " with TN-C and of the latter with TN-I and TN-T may restore the normal linkages between the affected G-actins and switch on the circuit of H along the F-actin. All other modes of activation are also suggested to be by means of the establishment of proton conduction paths in the myofilaments, from SI to the Mline and the Z disc. 

The molecules in crystaUine phosphorous acid, H3PO3, are linked together by a three-dimensional system of H bonds formed from HPO(OH)2 units. The H atom directly linked to P does not form any H bonds. H-bonds of type -S-O-H-O-P-O-H-O-S- are found in crystalline CS3 (HS04)2(H2P04) [15,16] and related salts (Chapter 5.3). In some of these salts the H bond systems appear to be deficient in H atoms moreover there is a random distribution of SO4 and PO4 tetrahedra. Continuous chains of -Se-O-H-O-P-O-H-O-Se- linkages are found in crystalline Cs5(HSe04)3(H2P04)2 [17,18].

A wide variety of other conjugated diolefins have been shown to form (C4)M-type bonding systems. These include cyclopentadiene, cyclopenta-dienone, cyclohexadiene, cycloheptatrienone, and cyclooctatetraene. The bands attributed to the free olefin, appearing at 1575-1600 cm Mn the free olefins, display a typical bathochromic shift (to 1500-1460 cm" ) in their complexes. If one double bond of the diolefin is complexed while the second remains free, often two well-separated absorptions are observed, one being in the region of an uncomplex olefinic linkage and the other at a lower frequency (Table 4-5). 

Carotenoids are natural pigments characterized by a tail to tail linkage between two C20 units and an extended conjugated system of double bonds They are the most widely dis tributed of the substances that give color to our world and occur m flowers fruits plants insects and animals It has been estimated that biosynthesis from acetate produces approximately a hundred million tons of carotenoids per year The most familiar carotenoids are lycopene and (3 carotene pigments found m numerous plants and easily isolable from npe tomatoes and carrots respectively...
