The apparent necessity of a second signal for haustorial initiation provides another possibility for chemical control. Riopel and coworkers (2,12-14) observed a few years ago that gum tragacanth, a foliar extract, was a very potent haustorial initiator. Two active compounds were isolated (Xenognosin A shown below, and a flavonoid with similar structure). The structural features required for haustorial formation include a meta relationship of hydroxyl and methoxyl groups and an alkyl branching ortho to the methoxy substituent. 

Cu0(l)-Zr02(99), on the other hand, contained only two types of Cu + species viz., isolated Cu + ions (II) and interacting Cu ions (III) (Fig. 11.12, curve c). The spin Hamiltonian parameters of these species are different from Cu0(l)-Ce02(99). Unlike in Cu0(l)-Ce02(99) (Fig. 11.12, curve a), the perpendicular Cu-hyperfine features could not be resolved in Cu0(l)-Zr02(99) (Fig. 11.12, curve c). Type m species of CuO-Zr02 showed a signal at gav = 2.12. 

Simplistically, it might be assumed that X-band EPR spectrum of compound II would contain signals arising from two isolated Fe(III) hemes, one low-spin species with His/Met ligation (c compound I) and a high-spin Fe(III) species. In fact, the EPR spectrum of compound II exhibits a single derivative-shaped feature atg = 3.45, which intensifies... 

The H-NMR spectrum features confirmed the proposed C ring structure as it showed a 4H aromatic AB system. An isolated aromatic proton signal at 8 5.93 indicated a pentasubstituted A ring. The 3H singlet at 8 3.65 showed that one of these was a methoxy substituent. The other two were thought to consist of OH and the pyrrolidine ring. The actual positions of substitution were determined by comparison with various derivatives and analogs. 

A very polar compound with a yellow color was isolated from the aqueous fraction of the root bark extract of Schumanniophyton magnificum (13). Its spectral features were very similar to those of schumanniophytine (18). The UV spectram showed a peak at 355 nm, and the H-NMR spectrum was almost identical apart from a 3H singlet at 8 4.3. This signal is the same as seen for the quaternary methyl in trigonelline (35). Since the molecular ion at m/z 310 was 15 higher than that given for 18, it was decided that the compound in question was the A-methyl derivative. This view was confirmed by the formation of 31 from 18 by methyl iodide methylation. 

In 1994, Weidenbruch et al. reported that introduction of two 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl groups onto the tin atom led to the successful isolation of 167, which is the first example of kinetically stabilized monomeric diarylstannylene characterized in the solid state. Note that Sn NMR spectrum of 167 shows two signals at 961 and 1105 ppm instead of a singlet expected at room temperature in solution. The striking feature of 167 is its partial isomerization into a sterically less encumbered stannylene 168 in solution (Scheme 14.73). The two signals of 167 coalesce... 

Other restricted media in which radical cations of organic substrates are formed are zeolites. Typical anisotropic features of the naphthalene radical cation were observed after exposure of naphthalene to aluminated H ZSM-5 (n = 3, 3.4) calcined under oxygen at 773 K. These spectra contain an overlapping feature, which was assigned to isolated electrons. These signals persist over several weeks at room temperature29. 

FeMoco, both as a constituent of the FeMo protein and an isolated entity, has been the subject of detailed spectroscopic examination. 57Fe Mossbauer and EPR studies of the cofactor have been interpreted in terms of an S = centre that contains one molybdenum and ca. six irons in a spin-coupled structure. The EPR signal serves as a valuable fingerprint of FeMoco furthermore, release of FeMoco from the FeMo protein produces an EPR spectrum with broader features, but the same profile, thereby indicating that the core of this cluster is little changed by the extraction procedure. Treatment of FeMoco with ca. one equivalent of...
