Abstract 1. The chemical structure of spongy butadiene polymer, obtained at 15–20° was examined by the ozonolysis method. 2. The per cent of chains with external double bonds in the spongy polymer was found to be 22.8%. 3. The spongy polymer of butadiene is composed, like the rubbery polymers, of chains with external and internal double bonds. 4. It was established that parts of the molecule of spongy polymer have the same structure as the rubbery butadiene polymers: -1,4-1,4-; -1,4-1,2-1,4-; -1,4-1,2-1,2-1,4-. 5. A chloroform-soluble rubberlike polymer was separated from the butadiene autopolymer. The degree of unsaturation of the chloroform-soluble polymer was determined (86.7%), also the relative content of internal and external double bonds.

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.

Photoisomerization mechanism in model retinal-like protonated Schiff base pentadieniminium was investigated by using MNDO method with configuration interaction. Isomerizations around various double bonds were studied and twisted biradical geometries in S0 and S1 states were optimized. Photoisomerization proceeds exclusively around the central double bond where the twisted S1 state is strongly stabilized and the S0-S1 gap is minimal.
