This study concerns the synthesis of β-sustituted β-nitrostyrenes by two procedures: addition of nitryl halogenides to double bonds, connected with the elimination of hydrogen halide, and condensation of aldehydes with substituted nitromethanes, and it compares the utilizability of the two procedures. Two of the substances prepared, methyl (Z)-nitro-3-phenylpropenoate and (Z)-4-phenyl-β-nitro-β-buten-2-one, were submitted to Z-E isomerization at various temperatures, and thermodynamic isomerization parameters were estimated from the dependence of the equilibrium constants on temperature.

Lipids are an important class of molecules, being found in membranes, HDL, LDL, and other natural structures, serving essential roles in structure and with varied functions such as compartmentalization and transport. Synthetic liposomes are also widely used as delivery and release vehicles for drugs, cosmetics, and other chemicals; soap is made from lipids. Lipids may form bilayer or multilammellar vesicles, micelles, sheets, tubes, and other structures. Lipid molecules may be linked to proteins, carbohydrates, or other moieties. EM study of this essential ingredient of life has lagged, due to lack of direct methods to visualize lipids without extensive alteration. OsO4 reacts with double bonds in membrane phospholipids, forming crossbridges. This has been the method of choice to both fix and stain membranes, thus far. An earlier work described the use of tungstate clusters (W11) attached to lipid moieties to form lipid structures and lipid probes.

: The regioselectivity of the reaction of 2,5-dihydroxy-[1,4]-benzoquinone (DHBQ) with diamines could not be explained satisfactorily so far. In general, the reaction products can be derived from the tautomeric ortho-quinoid structure of a hypothetical 4,5-dihydroxy-[1,2]-benzoquinone. However, both aromatic and aliphatic 1,2-diamines form in some cases phenazines, formally by diimine formation on the quinoid carbonyl groups, and in other cases the corresponding 1,2- diamino-[1,2]-benzoquinones, by nucleophilic substitution of the OH groups, the regioselectivity apparently not following any discernible pattern. The reactivity was now explained by an adapted theory of strain-induced bond localization (SIBL). Here, the preservation of the "natural" geometry of the two quinoid C–C double bonds (C3=C4 and C5=C6) as well as the N–N distance of the co-reacting diamine are crucial. A decrease of the annulation angle sum (N–C4–C5 + C4–C5–N) is tolerated well and the 4,5-diamino-ortho-quinones, having relatively short N–N spacings are formed. An increase in the angular sum is energetically unfavorable, so that diamines with a larger N–N distance afford the corresponding ortho-quinone imines. Thus, for the reaction of DHBQ with diamines, exact predictions of the regioselectivity, and the resulting product structure, can be made on the basis of simple computations of bond spacings and product geometries.

The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the reactions of formation of the ML and ML2 complexes of both reagents with cadmium(II) ions were determined by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance-pH curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of Cd in 10% v/v ethanol medium in the presence of 0.1% w/v Triton X-100 or 1% w/v Brij 35. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive spectrophotometric reagents for the determination of cadmium(II) ions (ε = 1.28-1.44 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 560 nm and pH 8.0-9.5) with a high colour contrast in the reaction (Δλmax ~117 nm) and a selectivity similar to that of other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAR, PAN, etc.).

Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

Extraction of microamounts of Sr2+ and Ba2+ (henceforth M2+) from the aqueous solutions of perchloric acid (0.0125-1.02 mol/l) by means of the nitrobenzene solutions of dicarbolide (0.004-0.05 mol/l of H+{Co(C2B9H11)2}-) was studied in the presence of monoglyme (only Ba2+), diglyme, triglyme, and tetraglyme (CH3O-(CH2-CH2O)nCH3, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4). The distribution of glyme betweeen the aqueous and organic phases, the extraction of the protonized glyme molecule HL+ together with the extraction of M2+ ion and of the glyme complex with the M2+ ion, i.e., ML2+ (where L is the molecule of glyme), were found to be the dominating reactions in the systems under study. In the systems with tri- and tetraglymes the extraction of H+ and M2+ ions solvated with two glyme molecules, i.e., the formation of HL2+ and ML22+ species, can probably play a minor role. The values of the respective equilibrium constants, of the stability constants of complexes formed in the organic phase, and the theoretical separation factors αBa/Sr were determined. The effect of the ligand structure on the values of extraction and stability constants in the organic phase is discussed.
