Polarization-based contrast

Polarization-based contrast (211 in which the specimen is illuminated normally with linearly polarized light and the analyzer is replaced by a small disc of Polaroid in the center of the objective back focal plane. This allows any intermediate contrast condition between bright field and dark field to be selected, and appears to be untried in the context of liquid crystals. 

A series of peptide analogs of class A and class L amphipathic helices were synthesized and studied (Tytler et ai, 1993). Two of these peptides, designated 18A and 18L, were modeled as idealized a helices, energy minimized, and displayed in cross section (Tytler etal., 1993). The overall cross-sectional shape of a class A amphipathic helix in the snorkel orientation was found to be that of a wedge with a polar base and a hydrophobic apex, schematically illustrated in Fig. 6A. In contrast, the shape of a class L amphipathic helix in cross section is reciprocal to that of a class A amphipathic helix i.e., an inverted wedge with its apex at the polar face and its base buried in the lipid (Fig. 6B). 

Homonuclear correlation experiments are not just restricted to the standard COSY experiment, but also include the TOCSY and INADEQUATE experiments. The separation of TOCSY and INADEQUATE from the homonuclear COSY experiment is based on the different coherence evolution and transfer processes involved. Thus the TOCSY experiment is based on cross-polarization in contrast to the polarization transfer used in the homonuclear COSY experiments. INADEQUATE experiments are characterized by the double quantum state of two scalar-coupled nuclei during the tl period such that the second dimension (fl) is scaled into a double quantum frequency. Nevertheless these experiments can all be considered together because they are based on homonuclear scalar coupling and the fl and f2 dimension of the corresponding 2D spectra are related to the same nucleus.

Positive-Tone Photoresists based on Dissolution Inhibition by Diazonaphthoquinones. The intrinsic limitations of bis-azide—cycHzed mbber resist systems led the semiconductor industry to shift to a class of imaging materials based on diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) photosensitizers. Both the chemistry and the imaging mechanism of these resists (Fig. 10) differ in fundamental ways from those described thus far (23). The DNQ acts as a dissolution inhibitor for the matrix resin, a low molecular weight condensation product of formaldehyde and cresol isomers known as novolac (24). The phenoHc stmcture renders the novolac polymer weakly acidic, and readily soluble in aqueous alkaline solutions. In admixture with an appropriate DNQ the polymer s dissolution rate is sharply decreased. Photolysis causes the DNQ to undergo a multistep reaction sequence, ultimately forming a base-soluble carboxyHc acid which does not inhibit film dissolution. Immersion of a pattemwise-exposed film of the resist in an aqueous solution of hydroxide ion leads to rapid dissolution of the exposed areas and only very slow dissolution of unexposed regions. In contrast with crosslinking resists, the film solubiHty is controUed by chemical and polarity differences rather than molecular size. 

In contrast to the Raschig hydrazine synthesis, diaziridine formation occurs in solvents of low polarity such as ether and in the absence of strong bases. An ionization of chloramine and the formation of 39 is thus unlikely. 

For the deprotonation of less acidic precursors, which do not lead to mesomerically stabilized anions, butyllithium/TMEDA in THF or diethyl ether, or the more reactive, but more expensive,. seobutyllithium under these conditions usually are the most promising bases. Het-eroatomic substitution on the allylic substrate, which docs not contribute to the mesomeric or inductive stabilization often facilitates lithiation dramatically 58. In lithiations, in contrast to most other metalations, the kinetic acidity, caused by complexing heteroatom substituents, may override the thermodynamic acidity, which is estimated from the stabilization of the competing anions. These directed lithiations59 should be performed in the least polar solvent possible, e.g.. diethyl ether, toluene, or even hexane. 

The separation was carried out on a bonded phase LC-PCN column carrying cyanopropylmethyl moieties on the surface. Thus, in contrast to the extraction process, which appears to be based on ionic interactions with the weak ion exchange material, the LC separation appears to be based on a mixture of interactions. There will be dispersive interactions of the drugs with the hydrocarbon chains of the bonded moiety and also weakly polar interactions with the cyano group. It is seen that the extraction procedures are very efficient and all the tricyclic antidepressant drugs are eluted discretely. 

The microgels could be conveniently isolated by precipitation as white powders, readily redispersable in many different organic solvents such as dialkylamides, nitriles, dichloromethane, acetone and THF. Further to this, the DMAA-based microgels exhibited a rather amphiphilic character and were also soluble in water and in alcohols such as methanol or ethanol in contrast, their counterparts based on MMA turned out to be more lipophilic and therefore insoluble in water and alcohols but soluble in organic solvents of low polarity such as toluene. 

Whereas in many instances potentiometric non-aqueous titrations of acids can show anomalies24 depending on the type of solvents and/or electrodes (owing to preferential adsorption of ions, ion pairs or complexes on the highly polar surface of the indicator electrode, or even adherence of precipitates on the latter), conductometric non-aqueous titrations, in contrast, although often accompanied by precipitate formation30, are not hindered by such phenomena sometimes, just as in aqueous titrations, the conductometric end-point can even be based on precipitate formation34.
