Synthetic structure

Since about 1955, a considerable number of new developments of wide synthetic, structural, and mechanistic interest have been described. It is the purpose of this review to discuss the significant features of these new advances.

Huffman in the X-ray Molecular Structure Center. From 1992 to 1994 he joined the research group of Professor John D. Corbett at Iowa State University where he pursued synthetic solid-state chemistry research exploring structure/property relationships. In 1994 he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at North Carolina State University where he is a full professor of Inorganic Chemistry pursuing synthetic, structural and mechanistic investigations in inorganic condensed matter. He has published more than 70 research papers and has several patented discoveries. He received an NSF CAREER award in 1995, was named a Cottrell Scholar of the Research Corporation in 1997, and received a Sigma Xi Research Award in 1999.

Errors in the low-density regions of the crystal were also found in a MaxEnt study on noise-free amplitudes for crystalline silicon by de Vries et al. [37]. Data were fitted exactly, by imposing an esd of 5 x 10 1 to the synthetic structure factor amplitudes. The authors demonstrated that artificial detail was created at the midpoint between the silicon atoms when all the electrons were redistributed with a uniform prior prejudice extension of the resolution from the experimental limit of 0.479 to 0.294 A could decrease the amount of spurious detail, but did not reproduce the value of the forbidden reflexion F(222), that had been left out of the data set fitted. 

To check this prediction, a number of MaxEnt charge density calculations have been performed with the computer program BUSTER [42] on a set of synthetic structure factors, obtained from a reference model density for a crystal of L-alanine at 23 K. The set of 1500 synthetic structure factors, complete up to a resolution of 0.555 A [45], was calculated from a multipolar expansion of the density, with the computer program VALRAY[ 46],... 

In agreement with this lining-up of alkene molecules on the catalyst surface, and the probable approach of activated hydrogen molecules from the body of the metal, it might be expected that hydrogenation would proceed stereoselectively SYN. This is broadly true, and has often been of synthetic/structural importance, e.g. ... 

At the end of 2003, new research results led to sensational headlines Minerals Cooked Up in the Laboratory Call Ancient Microfossils Into Question was the title chosen by Richard A. Kerr for his article in Science dealing with synthetically prepared silicate carbonates. Their microstructures show morphologies which look exactly like those of filaments which had been assigned as cyanobacterial microfossils of the Precambrian Warrawoona chert formation in western Australia. The synthetic structures consist of silicate-encapsulated carbonate crystals, and in part have a helically twisted morphology reminiscent of biological objects. Simple... 

In this volume, we have collected a series of important critical articles on the present and future of biomaterials science as viewed by some of the leading chemical engineers of the field. It was not our intention to cover all aspects of biomaterials science but rather to unify certain synthetic, structural, and biological topics, and to point out the significant contributions of chemical engineers to the field. It is not a coincidence that this book is part of the well-known series of Advances in Chemical Engineering. 

Finally, with regard to synthetic structurally unrelated PAF antagonists, it has been recently reported that a series of 5-aryl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,l-r/]iso-quinolines, as represented by (24), display PAF antagonistic properties [175]. However, the effectiveness of these compounds in inhibiting the binding of [3H]PAF to its various receptors remains to be reported. 

It is apparent from the above discussions that recent synthetic, structural, bonding, and reactivity studies have established transition metal containing metallacarborane complexes as an important area of study in organometallic chemistry. 

It is widely recognized that dendrimers are the first synthetic structure controlled polymers that rival the control and monodispersity observed for proteins. Their precise masses and behavior as analytes on electrophoretic gels demonstrate the contention that dendrimers (i.e. specifically poly(amidoamines)) may be viewed as artificial proteins .

In the broad use of the word polymer, ion-containing polymers are ubiquitous. They include inorganic substances such as silicate and borosilicate glasses discussed in Chapter 4, most biopolymers, solvent-swollen synthetic ion exchangers and some synthetic structural polymers. With few exceptions, these exhibit the characteristic feature of an electrolyte, ion mobility. In this chapter we consider the group of synthetic... 

Model building with synthetic structures is a valuable method to examine biological phenomena at a molecular level and to deduce the underlying principles. Models can serve as sounding boards to differentiate between the essential and the superfluous, between the understood and the still obscured. They enable systematic development of ever superior synthetic analogs. 

Vincamine, vinblastine and vincristine are very important clinic alkaloids. They are produced naturally by plants vincamine by Vinca minor, and vinblascine and vincristine by Madagascar periwinkle Catharanthus roseus). The vindoline synthesis pathway starts with strictosidine and, via dehydrogeissoschizine, preakuammicine, stemmadenine and tabersonine, is converted to vindoline and vincristine (Figure 42). Conversion from vindoline to vinblastine is based on the NADH enzyme activity. Vinblastine and vincristine are very similar alkaloids. The difference is that vincristine has CHO connected to N, whereas vinblastine in the same situation has only CO3. This synthetic structural differences influence their activity. Vinblastine is used to treat Hodgkin s disease (a form of lymphoid cancer), while vincristine is used clinically in the treatment of children s leukaemia. Vincristine is more neurotoxic than vinblastine. 

This operation is illustrated by work on the human cytokine GCSF, a protein of 174 residues. The disulfide-linked loop (64-74) of this protein, thought to be involved in binding to the receptor, was replaced by various non-coded synthetic structures.[10] In this case recombinant methods were used to produce a variant of the parent protein having the appropriate cleavage sites for the production of the wanted fragments. 

A recent review on abiological iron-sulfur clusters should be the primary entry reference to anyone wishing to gain information on this wide field [2]. Indeed, Ogino et al. provide a comprehensive source of data, of synthetic, structural, spectroscopic, and electrochemical nature, on many synthetic iron-sulfur clusters. The electrochemical properties of Roussin s black anion [3] have been investigated... 

Whereas a center or an axis of chirality can by clearly defined 2> 7) there is still some ambiguity in respect to the specification of a plane of chirality. It therefore seems somewhat difficult to define the scope of planar chiral compounds which at a first glance include mostly rather rigid aromatic compounds of special interest from synthetic, structural, spectroscopic and especially chiroptical points of view.
