Four pentacoordinate iron dicarbonyl with bulky NHC ligands were synthesised as model of [Fe]-hydrogenase active site, which exhibited different protonation reactivity due to the variable electronic and steric effects of introduced ligands.

Amylose prepared from starch dispersed in 10M-urea, pH6.2, was found to be resistant to the action of β-amylase and phosphorylase, though it was degraded by α-amylase. Amylose isolated by conventional methods was similarly refractory after urea treatment, and was hydrolysed by β-amylase to the extent of 32-35%; it had no inhibitory effect towards β-amylase. The physical and chemical properties of the modified amylose were in general comparable with those of normal amylose with a β-amylolysis limit of 94-98%%. Starch and amylopectin were unaffected by urea treatment, i.e. the presence of amylopectin protected amylose against changes induced in it by urea. It is speculated that urea treatment “freezes” amylose molecules in a conformation that renders non-reducing termini inaccessible to the active site of the exo-enzymes. Such changes may limit the degradative action of β-amylase and phosphorylase.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

The addition of fibres or particles (TiB2, SiC etc.) into TiAl intermetallic alloys could increase their toughness without compromising their good high temperature mechanical and chemical properties. This paper briefly discribes the microstructure developed by a TiAl/TiB2 composite material fabricated with the XD™ process and forged at 960°C.The specimens for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were prepared in the usual way (i.e. diamond polishing and argon ion beam thinning) and examined on a JEOL 4000EX for microstucture and on a Philips 400T equipped with a SiLi detector for microanalyses.The matrix was predominantly γ (TiAl with L10 structure) and α2(TisAl with DO 19 structure) phases with various morphologies shown in figure 1.

Biomimetics involves investigation of structure, function, and methods of synthesis of biological composite materials. The goal is to apply this information to the design and synthesis of materials for engineering applications.Properties of engineering materials are structure sensitive through the whole spectrum of dimensions from nanometer to macro scale. The goal in designing and processing of technological materials, therefore, is to control microstructural evolution at each of these dimensions so as to achieve predictable physical and chemical properties. Control at each successive level of dimension, however, is a major challenge as is the retention of integrity between successive levels. Engineering materials are rarely fabricated to achieve more than a few of the desired properties and the synthesis techniques usually involve high temperature or low pressure conditions that are energy inefficient and environmentally damaging.In contrast to human-made materials, organisms synthesize composites whose intricate structures are more controlled at each scale and hierarchical order.
