Abstract The dispersion of the specific rotation constant of a cholesteric-nematic mixture of 5CB and Ch17 at a low concentration was studied by optical spectroscopy. The dispersion of the anisotropy of the refractive index as a function of the wavelength is studied, and the helical pitch of the cholesteric-nematic mixture is calculated.

<div><div><div><p>Helical frontier molecular orbitals (MOs) appear in disubstituted allenes and even-n cumulenes. Chiral molecules are optically active, but while these molecules are single-handed chiral, π-orbitals of both helicities are present. Here we computationally examine whether the optical activity of chiral cumulenes is controlled by the axial chirality or the helicity of the electronic structure. We exploit hyperconjugation with alkyl, silaalkyl, and germaalkyl substituents to adjust the MO helicity without altering the axial chirality. For the same axial chirality, we observe an inversion of the helical MOs contribution to the electronic transitions and a change of sign in the electronic circular dichroism and optical rotation dispersion spectra. While the magnitude of the chiroptical response also increases, it is similar to that of chiral cumulenes without helical π-orbitals. Overall, Helical π-orbitals correlate with the big chiroptical response in cumulenes, but are not a prerequisite for it.</p></div></div></div>

Abstract Three new limonoids, designated as rubescins F (1), G (2), and H (3), together with two known compounds of this type, TS1 (4) and trichirubine A (5), were isolated from methylene chloride/methanol extracts of Trichilia rubescens leaves. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis and complemented by electrospray ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry results and by comparison to data of related compounds described in the literature and ab initio calculations. Rubescin F (1) is the first limonoid from Trichilia spp. with an oxetane ring between C-7 and C-14, which seems to be formed by the isomerization of TS1 (4). The γ-hydroxybutenolide rubescin G (2) is a potential precursor of trichirubine A (5), whereas rubescin H (3) is the first example of a triterpenoid with a single bond between C-7/C-14, forming a cyclopropane ring. The absolute configuration of these limonoids was derived from biosynthetic considerations and ab initio calculations of NMR and optical rotation dispersion data.

Bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is one of the ion-driven molecular machines, which drives the rotation of flagellar filaments and enable bacteria to swim in viscous solutions. Understanding its mechanism is one challenge in biophysics. Based on previous models and inspired by the idea used in description of motor proteins, in this study one two-state model is provided. Meanwhile, according to corresponding experimental data, mathematical relationship between BFM membrane voltage and pH value of the environment, and relationship between internal and external sodium concentrations are given. Therefore, with model parameter values obtained by fitting theoretical results of torque-speed relation to recent experimental data, many biophysical properties of bacterial flagellar motor can be obtained for any pH values and any external sodium concentrations, including the rotation speed, stall torque (i.e. the torque generated by BFM), rotation dispersion, and rotation randomness. In this study, the single-stator BFM will be firstly analyzed, and then properties of multiple-stator BFM are addressed briefly.
