The electrochemical behavior of 4(4)+ in a CH2CI2/CH3CN solution has been studied by CV and is represented in Fig. 14.8a. A reversible signal appears at 0.54 V. In the rotaxane 4(4)+, where the metal is tetracoordinated, the signal occurring at...

MDSC, by varying the furnace temperature sinusoidally, has been used to determine the specific heat of PA6 materials (similar measurements have been performed for polypropylene nanocomposites). The materials were heated from -80°C to 250°C at 2°C/min. The reversible signal recorded during the experiment is related to the specific heat of the sample. The specific heat values versus temperature for the different PA6-based formulations are given in Figure 19.3, showing no significant differences between different formulations. The peaks noted on the specific heat curves correspond to the transition from the solid to the liquid states. 

Unfortunately, it is far from trivial to obtain oxidation potentials for commonly encountered 17-electron metalloradicals M, because many such radicals dimerize at rates approaching diffusion-control, rendering it nearly impossible to observe such species by cyclic voltammetry. The use of ultramicroelectrodes was shown [41] to give a reversible signal for the oxidation of Mn(CO)5 at scan rates of ca 5000 V s , but the fmther oxidation of this radical to the 16-electron cation was not reported. There are, however, certain frequently encountered systems for which such radicals are stable at least on the time-scale of normal voltammetric measurements. Figure 4 shows an example, the oxidation of CpCr(CO)3 in acetonitrile.

Up to now we have discussed reversible signaling pathways, where inactivation is as important as the initial activation. In contrast are essentially irreversible pathways in which a component is proteolytically cleaved. Here we consider two such pathways the NF-kBpathway, which enables cells to respond immediately and vigorously to a number of stress-inducing conditions, and the Notch/Delta pathway, which determines the fates of many types of cells during development. Proteolytic activation of the cell-surface receptor Notch is facilitated by presenllln 1, a membrane protein that also has been Implicated In the pathology of Alzheimer s disease.

Mercury is one of the most toxic pollutants in waste waters. It can be detected by virtue of its static quenching effect on the fluorescence of indoles. When indole-3-acetie acid is covalently linked via long spacer groups to quartz beads welded to the tip of a quartz fiber or onto a quartz slide, its fluorescence (occurring at 350 nm) is quenched by mercury(II). Thus, the emitted light provides a continuous and reversible signal for the mercury (II) concentration of the solution in contact with the fiber end [19]. Mercury(II) concentrations down...
