Ultrafast dynamics of the photo-excited hemes b and c(n) in the cytochrome b(6)f complex

Adrien Alexis Paul Chauvet, Rachna Agarwal

The dynamics of hemes b and c(n) within the cytochrome b(6)f complex are investigated by means of ultrafast broad-band transient absorption spectroscopy. On the one hand, the data reveal that, subsequent to visible light excitation, part of the b hemes und ...

Divergent Asymmetric Synthesis of Polycyclic Compounds via Vinyl Triazenes

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Gregor Kiefer, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Florian Gérald Abela, David Kossler

Vinyl triazenes were obtained by enantioselective [2+2] cycloaddition reactions of bicyclic alkenes with 1-alkynyl triazenes in the presence of a RuII catalyst with a chiral cyclopentadienyl ligand. These triazenes serve as unique vinyl cation surrogates. ...

Atomic-level organization of vicinal acid-base pairs through the chemisorption of aniline and derivatives onto mesoporous SBA15

David Lyndon Emsley, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

The design of novel heterogeneous catalysts with multiple adjacent functionalities is of high interest to heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report a method to obtain a majority of bifunctional acid-base pairs on SBA15. Aniline reacts with SBA15 by openin ...

Low Lying ππ* State of Heteroaromatic Molecules: A Challenge for Excited State Methods

Antonio Prlj

The description of low-lying ππ* states of linear acenes by standard electronic structure methods is known to be challenging. Here, we broaden the framework of this problem by considering a set of fused heteroaromatic rings and demonstrate that standard el ...

Carbon Dioxide Based N-Formylation of Amines Catalyzed by Fluoride and Hydroxide Anions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Martin Hulla, Shoubhik Das

We described herein a simple approach for N-formylation with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents. Fluoride and hydroxide salts efficiently catalyzed the reaction, principally through activation of the hydrosilanes, which led to hydrosilane reactivities com ...

Resonance Energy Transfer Relates the Gas-Phase Structure and Pharmacological Activity of Opioid Peptides

Vladimir Kopysov

Enkephalins are efficient pain-relief drugs that bind to transmembrane opioid receptors. One key structural param- eter that governs the pharmacological activity of these opioid peptides and is typically determined from condensed-phase structures is the di ...
