AbstractThe synthesis of previously unattainable 2,5-disubstituted 4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-b]pyrazol-6-ones has been developed. Electrochemical reductions of readily available 2,2,2-trichloroethylideneacetophenones were followed by reaction with hydrazine, leading to 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-2-pyrazolines. These were treated with isocyanates to obtain the corresponding aminocarbonyl derivatives, which were found to be able to form an otherwise almost inaccessible imidazo[1,5-b]pyrazole ring system via a one-step reaction involving internal condensation followed by hydrogen chloride elimination and aromatization. The molecular­ structures of 2-(4-methylphenyl)-5-tosyl-4,5-dihydro­imidazo[1,5-b]pyrazol-6-one, 5-dichloromethyl-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-p-tolylpyrazole-1-carboxamide, and 5-(4-bromophenyl)-2-p-tolyl-4,5-dihydroimidazo[1,5-b]pyrazol-6-one were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

The use of high temperature special ceramics which are usually complex materials based on oxides, nitrides, carbides and borides of silicon and aluminum, is critically dependent on their thermomechanical and other physical properties. The investigations of the phase diagrams, crystal structures and microstructural features are essential for better understanding of the macro-properties. Phase diagrams and crystal structures have been studied mainly by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to this field to a very limited extent; it has been used more extensively in the study of microstructure, phase transformations and lattice defects. Often only TEM can give solutions to numerous problems in the above fields, since the various phases exist in extremely fine grains and subgrain structures; single crystals of appreciable size are often not available. Examples with some of our experimental results from two multicomponent systems are presented here. The standard ion thinning technique was used for the preparation of thin foil samples, which were then investigated with JEOL 200A and Siemens ELMISKOP 102 (for the lattice resolution work) electron microscopes.

IntroductionAfter a long period of anticipation,1 the last two years have witnessed the first high-resolution x-ray structures of fragments from fibrinogen and fibrin.2-7 The results confirmed many aspects of fibrinogen structure and function that had previously been inferred from electron microscopy and biochemistry and revealed some unexpected features. Several matters have remained stubbornly unsettled, however, and much more work remains to be done. Here, we review several of the most significant findings that have accompanied the new x-ray structures and discuss some of the problems of the fibrinogen-fibrin conversion that remain unresolved. * Abbreviations: GPR—Gly-Pro-Arg-derivatives; GPRPam—Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro-amide; GHRPam—Gly-His-Arg-Pro-amide

<p>The sulfolipid sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) and its headgroup, the sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ), are estimated to harbour up to half of all organosulfur in the biosphere. SQ is liberated from SQDG and related glycosides by the action of sulfoquinovosidases (SQases). We report a 10-step synthesis of SQDG that we apply to the preparation of saturated and unsaturated lipoforms. We also report an expeditious synthesis of SQ and (<sup>13</sup>C<sub>6</sub>)SQ, and X-ray crystal structures of sodium and potassium salts of SQ. Finally, we report the synthesis of a fluorogenic SQase substrate, methylumbelliferyl a-D-sulfoquinovoside, and examination of its cleavage kinetics by two recombinant SQases.</p>

A number of new solvates and adducts containing bisphenyldimethylaminophosphine oxide is reported. The solvates have the general formula M[(C6H5)2P(O)N(CH3)2]42+(anion-)2, in which M = Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd, and the anions are ClO4- and BF4-. The adducts have the general formula M[(C6H5)2P(O)N(CH3)2]2Cl2, where M stands for the same series of metals.The compounds are characterized and identified by chemical analyses and physical measurements.Ligand-field and vibrational spectra have been investigated; values for the ligand-field parameters are reported. It is concluded that coordination takes place via the oxygen atom of the ligand.X-ray powder patterns were used in combination with ligand-field spectra to deduce the coordination around the metal ions.The interesting behaviour of the nickel (II) chloride adduct upon heating is discussed and it is shown that both a square pyramidal and a tetrahedral modification exists.
