Nitration of pentamethylphenol (1) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene gives the four possible 2,5,6-trinitrocyclohex-3-enones (6), (7), (8) and (9), three 4,5,6-trinitrocyclohex-2-enones (10), (11) and [(12) or (13)], the 2-hydroxy-5,6-dinitrocyclohex-3-enone (14), quinone (17) and the 4-nitro dienone (3). The fuming nitric acid nitration of pentamethylphenol (1) for 90 h gives most of these products, except that 4-nitratomethyl-2,5,6-trinitrocyclohex-3-eones (21), (22), (23) and (24) are isolated. X-ray crystal structures are reported for compounds (6), (7), (8), (10), (11), (14) and (21).

Reaction of 3,4,5-trimethylbiphenyl (1) with nitrogen dioxide gives four mononitro compounds (3)-(6) and three dinitro compounds (7)-(9). Similar reaction of 2,3,4-trimethylbiphenyl (2) gives three nitroaromatic compounds (11)-(13), three nitrate esters (14)-(16), and two nitro dienones (17) and (18). Dinitro dienone (17) rearranges in solution to give the corresponding hydroxy nitro dienone (19). The differences between the two sets of products are discussed, and an addition-elimination mechanism is proposed for the mode of formation of the nitro dienones (17) and (18). X-Ray crystal structures are reported for compounds (4) and (19).

Chlorinations of 2-t-butyl-4-chloro-6-methylphenol(10) and of the mixture of 4,6-dichlorocyclo-hexa-2,ddienones (11) and (12) give the tetrachloro ketones (13)-(15). Reaction of the dichlorocyclohexa-2,4-dienone mixture with nitrogen dioxide gives predominantly dichloro dinitro ketones (17) which rearrange on chromatography to yield the hydroxy dienone (21). X-Ray crystal structures are reported for compounds (13)-(15), (20) and (21).

Reaction of 2-t-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol(10) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene gives the C4-epimeric 4,5,6-trinitrocyclohex-2-enones (13) and (14). In contrast, similar reaction of 2,4-di-t-butyl-6-methyl-phenol (11) gives substituted cyclohex-3-enones, 2,5,6-trinitro ketones (20)- (23), 2-hydroxy-5,6-dinitro ketones (27) and (28) and the 6-hydroxy- 2,5-dinitro ketone (29). Reaction of 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenol (12) with nitrogen dioxide gives initially the 4-nitro dienone (35), but de-t- butylated products (36) and (37) are formed in long-term reactions. X- ray crystal structures are reported for compounds (13),(14),(21),(22), (23), (27), (28) and (29).

Reaction of 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-4-nitrophenol (21) with nitrogen dioxide in benzene gives the four isomeric 2,4,5,6-tetranitrocyclohex- 3-enones (24)-(27), 2-hydroxy-4,5,6-trinitrocyclohex-3-enone (31), the C2-epimeric 6-hydroxy-2,4,5-trinitrocyclohex-3-enones (32) and (36) and the 2,6-dihydroxy-4,5-dinitrocyclohex-3-enone (33). X-ray crystal structures are reported for compounds (24), (25), (31), (32), (36) and the cyclopentenediol (37).

The nitration of 2,6-dimethyl-4-nitrophenol (1b), with either fuming nitric acid in acetic acid or nitrogen dioxide in dichloromethane, gives the C2-epimeric hydroxy trinitro ketones (4) and (5), the dinitro phenol (6) and the dihydroxy dinitro ketone (7). The nitration of the 4-bromo phenol (1c) is accompanied by some nitro- debromination and compounds (4), (5) and (13)-(17) are isolated. X-ray structure determinations are reported for compounds (5), (7) and (14).

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
