The main goal of this mini review is to summarise the most recent progress in the field of conjugated graft copolymers featuring conjugation across the main chain, across side chains or across both. The main approaches to the synthesis of conjugated graft copolymers are highlighted, and the various trends in the development of new copolymer materials and the intended directions of their applications are explored.

Alkyl-perfluoroalkyl compounds are known to form a microphase-separated structure due to the thermodynamic immiscibility between the fluorinated and the protonated segments [1,2]. Many similarities between bulk and surface structures of such polymers were found in the past [2,3,4] which can be explained by both microphase separation in the bulk as well as surface segregation of the fluorinated parts. Basing on this concept, polymers with chemically different main chains were attached with alkylperfluoroalkyl side chains (particularly, oxydecylperfluorodecyl chains, -O-(CH2) 10-(CF 2) 9-CF 3). Combined investigations by means of temperature-dependent X-ray scattering, molecular modeling and DSC measurements were performed to characterize the bulk structure in dependence on the flexibility of the main chain as well as the density of side chains. The polymers under investigation show one or more phase transitions in the temperature range from room temperature to 300 °C which can be assigned as transitions between different smectic structures. These phases are characterized to have positive as well as negative expansion coefficients, respectively, indicating changes of the tilt angle of the side chains and/or the degree of interdigitation. The polymer melts feature a high memory behavior evidenced by reversed imaging of the scattering patterns in the heating and cooling runs.

Pyranone natural products have attracted great attention in recent years from chemists and biologists due to their fascinating stereoisomeric structural features and impressive bioactivities. A large number of stereoselective total syntheses of these compounds have been described in the literature. The natural pyranones with long side chains have recently received significant importance in the synthetic field. In the present article, we aim to review the modern progress of the stereoselective total syntheses of these natural pyranones containing long-chain substituents.

Abstract Modern methodologies that use silanes in the presence of fluoride ion for the preparation and transformation of three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered heterocycles have been reviewed, covering literature from January 2010 to December 2012. Characteristic reactions in side chains of heterocyclic compounds are presented

The use CCD detectors has allowed a major progress in abundance derivations for globular cluster stars in the last years. Abundances deduced from high dispersion spectra now correlates well with other abundance indicators. I discuss some problems concerning the derivation of accurate metal abundances for globular clusters using high dispersion spectra from both the old photographic and the most recent CCD data. The discrepant low abundances found by Cohen (1980), from photographic material for M71 giants, are found to be due to the use of too high microturbulences.

In the 30 years since the discovery of the nucleosome, our picture of it has come into sharp focus. The recent high-resolution structures have provided a wealth of insight into the function of the nucleosome, but they are inherently static. Our current knowledge of how nucleosomes can be reconfigured dynamically is at a much earlier stage. Here, recent advances in the understanding of chromatin structure and dynamics are highlighted. The ways in which different modes of nucleosome reconfiguration are likely to influence each other are discussed, and some of the factors likely to regulate the dynamic properties of nucleosomes are considered.
