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

13C NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that C70 takes both “end-on” and “side-on” orientations in the cavity of a cyclic nickel porphyrin dimer, whereas C70 adopts only a “side-on” orientation within the corresponding free-base dimer.

 Hitoshi Matsuki,* Masaki Goto, Masataka Kusube, and Nobutake Tamai
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

A polarity-sensitive probe Prodan, which resides in the head-group region of a lipid molecule, shows the characteristic fluorescence spectra depending on the bilayer phase state. By using the nature of Prodan, packing imaging of phosphatidylcholine bilayers was done.

 1336-1338  Cyclization Reaction of Diarylethene through the Triplet Excited State
 Ryutaro Murata, Tomoaki Yago, and Masanobu Wakasa*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The cyclization reaction via the triplet excited state of naked diarylethene was studied by the ns laser flash photolysis. An alternative cyclization pathway via the triplet excited state was found to occur with a triplet sensitizer xanthone.

 1339-1341  Mechanistic Study of the Palladium-Catalyzed Stereoselective Cross-Coupling Reaction of 1,1-Dibromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-tosyloxypropene
 Masaki Shimizu,* Youhei Takeda, and Tamejiro Hiyama
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

We prepared a Pd complex by the oxidative addition of 1,1-dibromo-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-tosyloxypropene to [Pd(PPh3)4]. The atomic distance between Pd and F in the complex was 2.95 Å, which was shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. Based on NMR studies of the oxidative addition step, a catalytic cycle for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the propene is proposed, with the Pd–F interaction as the key element for the Z-selectivity.

 1342-1346  Temperature Dependence of Ion Mobility of Carbon Cluster Cations: Intermediate Region Connecting Low- and High-Field Conditions
 Kiichirou Koyasu, Tomohiro Ohtaki, and Fuminori Misaizu*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Temperature dependences of ion mobility of small carbon cluster cations were investigated with a drift cell coupled with a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Under the present condition, it was found that hard-sphere model is more applicable.

 1347-1354  Differences of Structures and Electronic Properties in the Triplet States between Dibromo and Dichloro Mononuclear Polypyridine Iridium(III) Complexes
 Naokazu Yoshikawa,* Shinichi Yamabe, Nobuko Kanehisa, Tsuyoshi Inoue, Hiroshi Takashima, and Keiichi Tsukahara
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

Triplet states were determined computationally to investigate the source of emission spectra. Two triplet state structures of [IrX2(bpy)2]+ and [IrX2(phen)2]+ and the interconversion transition states were obtained with X = Cl and Br.

 1355-1361  Growth of Cadmium Hexacyanidoferrate(III) Nanocubes and Its Application in Voltammetric Determination of Morphine
 Shah Raj Ali,* Prakash Chandra, Mamta Latwal, Shalabh Kumar Jain, and Vipin Kumar Bansal
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Cadmium hexacyanidoferrate(III) nanocubes with a size range of 60–90 nm have been synthesized and characterized using different analytical techniques. A cadmium hexacyanidoferrate(III) nanocube–carbon nanotube composite modified glassy carbon electrode was employed for voltammetric determination of morphine.

 1362-1367  The Impacts of Hg(II) Tightly Binding on the Alzheimer’s Tau Construct R3: Misfolding and Aggregation
 Dan-Jing Yang, Shuo Shi, Tian-Ming Yao,* and Liang-Nian Ji
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

We originally set out to investigate the interaction of Hg2+ with Alzheimer’s tau construct R3, and its impacts on tau aggregation. The results could help us to understand the detailed mechanism of misfolding development and self-aggregation of tau protein from a toxicological perspective of metal ion to AD.

Upon microwave irradiation, a ring proton at the 4-position and protons at the 2-methyl positions of dimetridazole, 1,2-dimethyl-5-nitroimidazole, and metronidazole, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, were selectively and rapidly exchanged with deuteriums at an exchange efficiency in excess of 98 atom % within 30 min.

 1383-1389  Direct Decomposition of NO over Ba–Y2O3 Catalyst Prepared by Coprecipitation
 Masaaki Haneda,* Yasuyuki Doi, and Masakuni Ozawa
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Ba-Doped Y2O3 catalysts show extremely high performance for NO decomposition. The presence of highly dispersed Ba species on the catalyst surface is essential for NO decomposition to proceed. Highly dispersed Ba species plays a role for the formation and adsorption of nitrite (NO2−) as reactive species.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Tungsten-based photochromic composite films were fabricated using isoperoxopolytungstic acid and transparent urethane resin. The resulting composite films showed photochromic properties when irradiated with UV–vis light: the film changed from transparent to blue with absorption peaks of 650 and 900 nm.
