Induced fac–mer rearrangements in {M(CO)3}+ complexes (M = Re, 99(m)Tc) by a PNP ligand
No full textThe fac-mer rearrangements in [MX3(CO)3]2− (M = Re, 99Tc) induced by a pincer-type ligand (PNP) and a “halide scavenger” are reported. The reactions of fac-[99mTc(CO)3(OH2)3]+ or [99mTcO4]− in saline both yield mer-[99mTc(PNP)(CO)3]+, the first example of a mer-{99mTc(CO)3}+ type complex. In contrast, reactions with terpyridine (terpy) only gave the facial κ2-terpy complexes with Re and 99Tc
Bernhard Boyneburg (Barber) Collection ca. 1919-1975
No full textThe collection contains handwritten and typed manuscripts of essays by Bernhard Boyneburg about Richard Wagner and various other topics. Also included is the copy of a letter from the International Tracing Service of the Red Cross about the fate of Bernhard Barber, his wife and his son.Sophie B. Mann, October 2002Bernhard Barber was an author who published political and philosophical works under the name Boyneburg. He was born 1874 in Leipzig, but lived and worked in Vienna. In 1941, he, his wife Olga née Prager (b. 1897) and their son Eduard Fritz (b. 1905) were deported to the Ghetto in Lodz, where they perished. Barberâs daughter Sophie Mann survived the Holocaust.Bernhard Boyneburg''s published works include ,Die Despotie der Mittel, ihre Erkenntnis : die Grundlage rascher Voelkerversoehnung, Anzengruber, Wien 1919, and ,Der Weg aus dem Chaos: Neues zum Satze von der Despotie der Mittel, Amalthea, Zürich etc., 1927'.digitize
N,N,O and N,O,N Meridional cis Coordination of Two Guanines to Copper(II) by d(CGCGCG)<sub>2</sub>
No full textMany
research groups study the generation of supramolecular n-dimensional arrays by combining metals with DNA building
blocks. Most of the time, the natural nucleobases are modified to
obtain higher-affinity metal binding sites. Using unmodified nucleobases
avoids a potentially difficult synthesis; however, they have the possible
disadvantage of a less defined and/or weaker coordination mode of
the metal. Structural studies on the behavior of copper(II) as a linking
metal and guanine as the natural ligand for metals in unmodified DNA
are reported. Previously, the ability of mono- and dinuclear metal
complexes to induce Z-DNA has been explored [Medina-Molner, A.; Spingler,
B. Chem. Commun. 2012, 48, 1961; Medina-Molner,
A.; Rohner, M.; Pandiarajan, D.; Spingler, B. Dalton Trans. 2015, 44, 3664]. Herein, X-ray crystallographic studies
of the structures resulting from the combination of copper(II) ions
with DNA hexamers of the general sequence d(CG)3 are presented.
Three different packing motifs were observed in three crystal structures
with resolutions ranging from 2.15 to 1.45 Å. The motifs are
dependent upon other cations being present and/or the crystallization
conditions. The first examples of intramolecular O6,N7-chelates of
a neutral purine nucleobase to copper(II) were obtained as well as
the first meridional N,N,O and N,O,N coordination modes of two guanines
to copper(II). The fascinating coordination chemistry of copper(II)
complexes generated by the Z-DNA oligonucleotides and the differences
to simple nucleobases complexes with copper(II) are discussed in detail

Structural analysis of Cu(II) ligation to the 5'-GMP nucleotide by pulse EPR spectroscopy
Get PDFSimple copper salts are known to denature poly d(GC). On the other hand, copper complexes of substituted 1,4,7,10,13-pentaazacyclohexadecane-14,16-dione are able to convert the right-handed B form of the same DNA sequence to the corresponding left-handed Z form. A research program was started in order to understand why Cu(II) as an aquated ion melts DNA and induces the conformational change to Z-DNA in the form of an azamacrocyclic complex. In this paper, we present a continuous wave and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance study of the mononucleotide model system Cu(II)-guanosine 5'-monophosphate . Pulse EPR methods like electron-nuclear double resonance and hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy provide unique information about the electronic and geometric structure of this model system through an elaborate mapping of the hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole interactions between the unpaired electron of the Cu(II) ion and the magnetic nuclei of the nucleotide ligand. It was found that the Cu(II) ion is directly bound to N7 of guanosine 5'-monophosphate and indirectly bound via a water of hydration to a phosphate group. This set of experiments opens the way to more detailed structural characterization of specifically bound metal ions in a variety of nucleic acids of biological interest, in particular to understand the role of the metal-(poly)nucleotide interaction
Heldenplatz by Thomas Bernhard
Get PDFopenL’opera teatrale Heldenplatz è l’ultima e tra le più importanti dello scrittore e drammaturgo austriaco Thomas Bernhard, pubblicata e rappresentata nel 1988. Il testo provocò uno scandalo in Austria ancora prima di essere messo in scena, poiché presenta critiche verso la società austriaca del secondo dopoguerra, ritenuta da Bernhard colpevole di non aver affrontato il proprio passato nazionalsocialista. Questa vicenda conferma la visione di Bernhard e dimostra l'importanza del teatro per la società.The play Heldenplatz is the last and one of the most important plays by the Austrian author Thomas Bernhard, and it was published and performed in 1988. It caused a scandal in Austria even before its release due to the presence of critical assertions regarding Austrian post-war society in the text. According to Bernhard, that society had not dealt with its nazist past. This reaction shows Bernhard's view to be correct and it highlights the importance of theatre for society
