Six alkaloids isolated from the bark of Naucleadiderrichii have been shown to have structures that contain both indole and pyridine units. Because of the small amounts available of each constituent, investigation of structure has been confined mainly to the application of spectroscopic techniques; these have shown that all of these alkaloids belong to the novel indole-pyridine class, and have led us to propose structures or part structures with varying degrees of confidence for each of the alkaloids. Structure 1 was deduced for naucledine, C18H15N3O2, and confirmed by synthesis. Its spectroscopic characteristics indicate that nauclederine, C19H19N3O2, has structure 3, but this has not yet been confirmed by synthesis. Evidence is presented that nauclechine, C21H21N3O3, has part structures 6 and 7, and it is suggested that these can be incorporated in structure 8. A working hypothesis for the structure of nauclexine, C18H17N3O2, is represented by 9. Two alkaloids, ND-363C, C21H21N3O3, and ND-305B, C19H19N3O, are closely related, the latter being formally derived from the former by removal of a carbomethoxy group; each appears to exist as an equilibratible pair of isomers containing an indolic (substituted β-carboline) and a pyridine part linked together in a manner which may incorporate a spiro carbinolamine ether (as in 12) that can form ring-opened or solvated derivatives in some solvents.

Using different spectroscopic techniques and computational calculations, we describe the structural and electromagnetic relationship that causes many interesting phenomena within a novel coordination compound with mixed valence manganese (II, III and IV) in its crystal and powder state. The novel compound [MnII MnIII MnIV(HL)2(H2L)2(H2O)4](NO3)2(H2O) 1 was obtained with the Schiff base (E)-2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amine)-2-(hydroximethyl)propane-1,3-diol, (H4L), and Mn(NO3)2.4H2O. The coordination reaction was promoted by the deprotonation of the ligand by the soft base triethylamine. The paper’s main contribution is the integration of the experimental and computational studies to explain the interesting magnetic behavior that the mixed valence manganese multimetallic core shows. The results presented herein, which are rarely found for Mn(II), (III) and (IV) complexes, will contribute to the understanding of the magnetic communication generated by the valence electrons and its repercussion in the local geometry and in the overall crystalline structure.

The disodium salt Na2[{(CO)5Cr}2Pb(NO3)2], Na2·1, which contains a lead center in a (4+2) coordination mode, reacts with tetraphenylphosphonium halides [Ph4P]X to give the tetrahedral compounds [Ph4P]2[{(CO)5Cr}2PbX2] (X = Cl: 2a; X = Br: 2b; X = I: 2c). Substitution of the nitrate groups of Na2·1 by alcoxides leads to binuclear compounds of the type [{(CO)5Crg2Pb(μ2-OR)2Pb{Cr(CO)5}2]2- (R = Et: 3a; R = n -Pr: 3b; R = i-Pr: 3c; R = Allyl: 3d). NMR experiments show that these dimeric compounds are in equilibrium with the monomeric species [{(CO)5Cr}2PbR]- .Trialkylphosphanes react with Na2·1 to give the neutral phosphane complexes [{(CO)5Cr}2Pb(PR3)2] (R=Me: 4a; R=Et: 4b; R = n-Bu: 4c), which show dynamic behaviour in solution. All of the novel compounds have been characterized by X-ray analysis, as well as by the usual analytic and spectroscopic techniques. 207Pb-NMR data of Cr(CO)5- bound lead species are reported for the first time.

In the following work, the vibrational spectroscopic characteristics of artepillin C are reported by means of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. Artepillin C is an interesting compound due to its pharmacological properties, including antitumor activity. It is found as the major component of Brazilian green propolis, a resinous mixture produced by bees to protect their hives against intruders. Vibrational spectroscopic techniques have shown a strong peak at 1599 cm−1, assigned to C=C stretching vibrations from the aromatic ring of artepillin C. From these data, direct visualization of artepillin C could be assessed by means of CARS microscopy, showing differences in the film hydration obtained for its neutral and deprotonated states. Raman-based methods show potential to visualize the uptake and action of artepillin C in biological systems, triggering its interaction with biological systems that are needed to understand its mechanism of action.

A cogent synthesis of completely new compound series of by 6-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro pyrimidine-2(1H)-one (Biginelli reaction) was achieved by continue heating of (E)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one and urea for 5 hours with 40% KOH and ethyl alcohol. (E)-1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-(substituted phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is produced by Claisen-Schmidt Condensation. In this condensation 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)ethanone and different aldehyde are mixed. All the novel compound series were characterized by infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopic techniques and by elemental analyses. The newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity

This paper analyzes the narrative structure of Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad against the grain of traditional slave narrative conventions. The novel may be categorized as a neoslave narrative, telling the story of a slave girl, Cora, and her escape from a Georgia plantation using the “Underground Railroad” mentioned in the title. My working hypothesis takes cue from the explicit, literal rendering of the Underground Railroad in the text, which may be considered as symptomatic of Whitehead’s approach to the slave narrative convention, in that his novel discloses or makes visible aspects which, in slave narratives, were left unnarrated.

Abstract Seven isoflavonoids have been isolated from the seeds of Bolusanthus speciosus (Bolus) Harms. Five of these com pounds were identified as the isoflavones genistein (1), biochanin A (2), orobol (3), pratensein (4) and 3′-O-methylorobol (5). The remaining two compounds were characterised as the novel isoflavone 3′-O-methylpratensein (6) and the new 3-hydroxyisoflavanone bolusanthin (7). Identification and characterisation was by means of spectroscopic techniques (UV, IR, MS and 1H NMR). NOe irradiation of the C-2 proton of 3′-O-methylpratensein (6) was used to establish unequivocally the oxygenation pattern of the B-ring.

A series of rhenium(I) carbonyl chloride complexes carrying bis(imino)acenaphthene (BIAN) molecules as p-acceptor ligands was prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. Among the novel compounds described, the remarkable example of a deeply colored water-soluble rhenium carbonyl derivative is presented. The crystal structures of this family of BIAN compounds are also reported, which confirm the position of the chloro ligand at the tricarbonyl rhenium(I) center. In the case of BIAN ligands carrying bulky substituents in the ortho-position of the arylimino subunits, evidence has been found for an exchange of the halide ligand in solution, which is considered to be of major relevance for catalytic applications. Implications of our results for the fields of photocatalytic CO2 reduction and the controlled release of the gasotransmitter CO in aqueous solution are briefly discussed.

The novel transition metal ion complexes were synthesized by refluxing the ethanolic solutions of metal acetates with Schiff base in 1:2 ratios. The structure and characterization of synthesized complexes of Mn (II), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II) and Zn (II) with Schiff base (E)-2-((7H-purin-6-ylimino)methyl)phenol were elucidated by using 1H NMR, FT-IR and UV-Visible spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were also been screened against gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. The novel compounds were further carried out for the study of magnetic susceptibility.

Porphyrinoids are ideal compounds to be incorporated into DNA due to their peculiar spectroscopic characteristics, fascinating photochemistry and synthetic versatility. The ability to act as photosensitizers in the presence of oxygen promoted interest of the scientific community to study the non-covalent binding of porphyrins with DNA in order to use them in photodynamic therapy. Thus, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the binding of porphyrins with DNA can help to find a porphyrin with specific base degradation activity. In this work we characterized the binding modes of spermine derivative porphyrin with three different polynucleotides: ct-DNA, poly(dG-dC)[Formula: see text] in both B- and Z-conformation using several spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, Electronic Circular Dichroism and Resonance Light Scattering).
