Direct Observation of Acid-Base Interaction by Means of Mass Spectrometry for Clusters
Authors: Mochizuki Shunsuke , Usui Yoshiharu , Wakisaka Akihiro 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
The acid-base interaction could be visualized in the mass spectra of clusters isolated from solutions. The butyric acid-pyridine acid-base system in acetonitrile afforded clusters in which (butyric acid)1(pyridine)1 complex behaves like an unit species; on the contrary, the butyric acid-pyrazine system afforded clusters in which butyric acid clusters, (butyric acid)n, hold main structure. This clear difference is reasonably related with the relatively strong and weak acid-base interactions.

Authors: Sanji Takanobu , Hanao Hiroyuki , Sakurai Hideki 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
Poly(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4-octamethyltetrasilanylenemethylene) of a highly regulated structure was synthesized by anionic ring opening polymerization of octamethyltetrasilacyclopentane. In this polymerization process, α-silyl carbanions play an important role. In this polymer, delocalization in the ground state is much important in the σ-conjugation between the tetrasilanylene units via the methylene units.
Photoluminescence Properties of the Vanadium Silicalite-1 Catalyst and Its Photocatalytic Reactivity for the Reduction of NO with Propane
Authors: Higashimoto Shinya , Zhang Shu Guo , Yamashita Hiromi , Matsumura Yasuyuki , Souma Yoshie , Anpo Masakazu 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
The vanadium silicalite-1 catalyst (VS-1) has been found to include highly dispersed V-O moieties having a tetrahedral coordination in C3v symmetry, which exhibits a photoluminescence spectrum attributed to the radiative decay from the charge transfer excited state. Also, the photocatalytic reduction of NO into N2 was found to proceed much more efficiently in the presence of propane than with the direct photocatalytic decomposition of NO without propane. The dynamic quenching of the photoluminescence spectrum by the addition of NO and propane indicate that the excited state of the V-O moieties plays a significant role in this photocatalytic reaction.

Authors: Rodríguez Juan Carlos , Rivera Mario 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
Addition of Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) to aqueous carbon tetrachloride solutions (∼650 mg/L) resulted in CCl4 concentrations lower than 2.5 mg/L after 2.5 h and in undetectable concentrations after 4-5 h of reaction.

Published: May 2005

Abstract
9-Deoxy-15-methoxymethoxycotylenol and 9-deoxy-19-methoxymethoxycotylenol were synthesized to clarify a role of the 9α-hydroxyl of cotylenol, a common aglycon of cotylenins possessing potent plant growth-regulating activities. Both of the 9-deoxycotylenol derivatives stimulated germination of lettuce seeds and therefore it has been clarified that the 9α-hydroxyl of cotylenol is not essential for the biological activities.

Abstract
[IrCl(diphosphine)]2 {diphosphine = BINAP (1a) and BPBP (1b)} were obtained as extremely air- and moisture-sensitive crystals. The structure of 1a has been determined by X-ray analysis. Complex 1a reacted easily with two equivalents of triphenylphosphine to give IrCl(binap)(PPh3) 2a quantitatively. Complexes 1a and 1b can activate RO–H groups easily and catalyze transfer hydrogenation of alkynes in methanol. On the contrary 2a does not react with methanol even at 55 °C.
Chemical Tools for Detection of Intracellular pH-Change in Halobacteria
Authors: Urano Hikaru , Mizukami Taku , Tsujimoto Kazuo 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
Time-dependent pH-change in halobacteria was observed with fluorescent dye. Mechanical improvement of a cell holder in a fluorescence spectrometer enabled us to measure the intracellular pH-change that proved different from the extracellular change. Upon irradiation, the extracellular pH of the strain initially changed into higher value and subsequently reverted to lower value until irradiation ceased, whereas the intracellular pH monotonously increased for freshly prepared cells. Nevertheless, the pH-changes in liposome with bacteriorhodopsin were complementary each other.

Authors: Koyama Seiichi , Saito Yasuo , Sugahara Yoshiyuki , Kuroda Kazuyuki 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
Novel AlN precursors have been prepared by reactions in a LiAlH4-CH3NH2·HCl-(CH3)2NH·HCl system with several nominal CH3NH2·HCl : (CH3)2NH·HCl (M : D) ratios (M : D = 4 : 1, 6 : 1 and 8 : 1). Considerable amounts of precursors were soluble in both tetrahydrofuran and benzene. Soluble precursors consist of polymeric/oligomeric species possessing both [H2AlNMe2] and [HAlNMe] units, and ring-type (H2AlNMe2)3 was also present only if M : D = 4 : 1. The precursors were converted into single-phase AlN with relatively high ceramic yields (up to 58 %) by pyrolysis at 1600 °C under Ar.

Authors: Sakai Ken-ichi , Kitagawa Hiroshi , Mitani Tadaoki , Yamashita Masahiro 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
The crystal structure of a charge-transfer complex, [Pd(HBQD)2]TCNQ (TCNQ = tetracyanoquinodimethane, HBQD = 1,2-benzoquinonedioxime) has been studied at 295 K and 110 K by X-ray diffraction. The bond-length change in the ligand π-conjugated system of Pd(HBQD)2 was consistent with the nodal property of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital. This supports the temperature-induced charge transfer from the Pd ion to the π* antibonding orbital of ligand HBQD.

Dehydration of 2-Propanol over Molybdenum Oxide Treated with Hydrogen
Authors: Matsuda Takeshi , Hirata Yasuyoshi , Sakagami Hirotoshi , Takahashi Nobuo 
Published: May 2005

Abstract
Dehydration of 2-propanol was carried out at 398 K using molybdenum oxides as a catalyst. The parent MoO3 exhibited a low activity. H2 reduction at 623 K increased the dehydration activity. After the reduction for 4 h, the MoO3 became more active than USY zeolites, although the catalytic activity of MoO3 declined with time on stream. We suggest that the acidity of MoO3 was enhanced by H2 reduction at 623 K.
