Introduction of highly reactive vinyl ether moieties along a poly(ethylene-glycol) (PEG) backbone has been realized by copolymerization of the novel epoxide monomer ethoxy vinyl glycidyl ether (EVGE) with ethylene oxide (EO). A series of copolymers with va ...
We have studied the retention indices of 127 volatile substances on a C-78-paraffin and on its seven nearly isochor and isomorphous polar derivatives over a temperature range of 90-210 A degrees C. The retention index of a substance on the C-78 paraffin ha ...
Although alcohols are well-known to be protein denaturants when present at high concentrations, their effect on proteins at low concentrations is much less well characterized. In this paper, we present a study of the effects of alcohols on protein stabilit ...
After wounding, the moss Physcomitrella patens emits fatty acid derived volatiles like octenal, octenols and (2E)-nonenal. Flowering plants produce nonenal from C18-fatty acids via lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase reactions, but the moss exploits the C ...
The one-step conversion of cellulose to C6-alcs. via green and energy efficient approaches has, as far as we are aware, not been reported. Such a process presents a considerable challenge, the two key problems being (1) finding a suitable solvent that diss ...
Various methods for the synthesis of bimetallic complexes, in which two different metal fragments which are connected by two or three halogeno bridges, are reported. The reactions are usually fast and give rise to structurally defined products in quantitat ...
