[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

A combined experimental and computational study on the gas-phase thermochemistry of a few bromoanilines is presented. Thermodynamic data is consistent with intramolecular N–H···Br hydrogen bonding.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

9-Mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr+–Mes) acts as a photocatalyst for the oxygenation of triphenylphosphine with O2 via radical coupling of triphenylphosphine radical cation and O2•− to produce triphenylphosphine oxide. Photooxidation of benzylamine with O2 also occurs to yield PhCH2N=CHPh and hydrogen peroxide.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

A zinc porphyrin–fullerene dyad with a disilane as a σ-conjugated linker has been newly synthesized. Photoinduced electron transfer and energy-transfer processes of the dyad were revealed by time-resolved fluorescence and transient absorption measurements.

1191-1200 Oxovanadium(IV)–Porphyrin Complex as a Potent Insulin-Mimetic. Treatment of Experimental Type 1 Diabetic Mice by the Complex [meso-Tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinato]oxovanadate(IV)(4−)

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

Based on the results of insulin-mimetic activity, metallokinetic features in rat blood, and hypoglycemic effect in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, [meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinato]oxovanadate(IV)(4−), [VO(tpps)], was found to be an orally active oxovanadium(IV)–porphyrin complex for treating type 1 diabetes.

1017-1024 A New Salt Bridge Based on the Hydrophobic Room-Temperature Molten Salt
Best of the Month

 T. Kakiuchi* and T. Yoshimatsu
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A conceptually new salt bridge based on a hydrophobic room-temperature molten salt (ionic liquid), 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, exhibits a stable phase-boundary potential, which is little affected by the type and concentrations of electrolytes in a sample solution. The gelation of the molten salt does not affect the phase-boundary potential. The new salt bridge is free from most of the problems inherent to KCl-based salt bridges.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

In situ observation of the deuterium transfer in the crystalline-state 4–1 photoisomerization of a partially deuterated 4-cyanobutyl cobaloxime complex by neutron diffraction clearly suggests a novel reaction machanism, “alkyl turn” isomerization.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The complexes based on π-donor molecule BDT-TTP and [MCl4]2− (M = Co, Mn, and Zn) are unique one-dimensional conductors consisting of two types of molecular arrays. The possible charge distribution and the magnetic properties of the complexes are discussed.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Hybrid films of mesoporous silica with guest porphyrin derivatives ([M(tmpyp)]4+) and titania nanosheets accommodating guest methyl viologen (MV2+) were synthesized. Upon UV and visible light irradiation, the oxidation of [M(tmpyp)]4+ and reduction of MV2+ were observed, indicating that photoinduced electron transfers could be achieved for these hybrid films.

Neutron diffraction measurements have been carried out on isotopically substituted aqueous 18 mol% lithium alaninate solutions in D2O. The environmental structures around both lithium and alaninate ions have been determined from observed first-order difference functions.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A new technique for the measurement of adsorption force of a microparticle in an electrolyte solution was developed using electromagnetophoretic force. The adsorption forces of polystyrene particles to the bare inner walls and modified inner walls of a fused-silica capillary were determined by this method in the absence and in the presence of surfactants.
