    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the natural history and management of surgically unresectable intra-abdominal desmoid tumors in two patients with Gardner's syndrome from two unrelated families, where each had failed on conventional therapy. METHODS: Two patients with Gardner's syndrome were placed on a chemotherapy regimen which included doxorubicin (90 mg/m2) and dacarbazine (900 mg/m2) in divided doses over four days of continuous infusion. Their progress on chemotherapy was assessed by abdominal computerized tomography and laparoscopy. RESULTS: The computerized abdominal tomography scans proved difficult to interpret because of adhesions and matted small bowel resulting from the patients original colectomies. These findings made it difficult to differentiate postoperative changes from residual desmoid tumor. Second-look laparotomy in such patients was contraindicated as this may predispose to further desmoid production. Laparoscopy disclosed a complete response to this chemotherapy. Nevertheless, we had an iatrogenic small bowel perforation in one of these patients. Each patient showed a complete response to chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Surgical resection remains the first-line treatment of intra-abdominal desmoid tumors. However, doxorubicin/ dacarbazine chemotherapy on a clinical trial basis may be indicated in patients whose intra-abdominal desmoid is unresectable, or who have failed to respond to treatment with hormones (tamoxifen, Toremifene), steroids (prednisone), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (Clinoril®; Merck & Co., Inc., West Point, PA).

    Notes: Abstract The crystal structure of calcium succinate monohydrate, Ca(C4H4O4)·H2O, has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals are monoclinic witha=11.952(2),b=9.691(2),c=11.606(2)Å, β=108.81(1)°, space group C2/c,Z=8,V=1272.49 Å3,d m =1.80, andd c =1.818 Mg m−3. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares techniques toR=0.027,R w =0.040, for 829 reflections with1≥3δ(I). Ca is coordinated to seven oxygen atoms, and the coordination polyhedron is best described as a pentagonal bipyramid. One carboxylate group in the succinate ion is bonded to three different Ca ions, forming a four-membered chelate ring with one Ca ion is bonded to three different Ca ions, forming a four-membered chelate ring with one Ca ion and unidentate bridge bonds to two other Ca ions. The other carboxylate group is bonded to two Ca ions through unidentate bonds. The structure is highly polymeric. The general structural features are nearly identical to those of calcium adipate monohydrate.

    Notes: Abstract A thorough study of compounds with the formula W2Cl4(NHCMe3)2(PR3)2, withR 3=Me3, Et3, Prg n 3 Me2,Ph, is reported. In addition to the previously reported crystalline compounds, namely Ia,trans-W2Cl4(NHCMe3)2(PMe3)2 in space group Pmmn;3a,trans-W2Cl4(NHCM3)2(PEt3)2 in space group P21/a (or P21/c); and4,cis-W2Cl4(NHCMe3)2(PMe2Ph)2 in Pna21, we have obtained and structurally characterized the following new substances,1b,trans-W2Cl4,(NHCMe3)2(PMe2)2, space group P21/c,a= 12.233 (4) Å,b= 12.872 (4) Å,c=17.095 (5) Å,β=93.52 (2)°,Z=4,V=2687 (1) Å3 2,cis-W2Cl4(NHCMe3)2(PMe3)2, P21/c,a=9.673 (4) Å,b=17.249 (4) Å,c=16.244 (5) Å,β=99.63 (3),Z = 4 ,V=2669 (1) Å.3b,trans-W2Cl4(NHCMe3)2(PEt3)2, Pl,a=16.850 (3) Å,b=17.797 (3) Å,c= 11.459 (2)Å,α= 101.02 (1),β= 103.13°, y=84.23 (1)°,Z=4,V= 3279 (1) Å5,trans-W2Cl4(NHCM3)2(PMe2Ph)2, Fdd2,a=39.563 (8) Å at 20°C; 39.325 (10) Å at -6O°C,b = 57.543 (17) Å at 20°C; 57.186 (16) Å at -60°C,c= 8.810 (1) Å at 20°C; 8.770 (1) Å at - 60°C ,Z=24,V=20057 (7) Å3 (20°C), 19723 (8) Å3 ( - 60°C) .6,trans-W2Cl4(NHCMe3 2(PPrn 3)2, Pl,a= 17.287 (2) Å (20°C); 17.077 (5) Å (-60°C),b= 19.119 (2) Å (20°C); 18.952 (6) Å (-60°C),c= 12.713 (1) Å (20°C); 12.668 (4) Å (-60°C),Z=4,V= 3980 (1) Å3 (20°C), 3898 (2) ,Å3 ( - 60°C). In addition, the structure of3a was re-determined and refined so that the disorder ratio was a refined parameter, leading to a value of 0.520:0.480 instead of being arbitrarily fixed at 0.50:0.50. In all of the structures the molecules are held in eclipsed (but very distorted) rotational conformations and the W-W distances are all within the range of 2.305-2.330 Å. As will be shown in a later paper, for all phosphines, thecis andtrans isomers are of similar stability and an equilibrium mixture exists in solution. It is also shown that1a and3a do not contain unexpectedly short W-N bonds as previously reported.

    Notes: Abstract The synthesis, crystal structure and IR data are reported for Na2[Zn(CMA)4]·2EtOH·7H2O, where CMA− is the 9,10-dihydro-9-oxo-10-acridinacetate ion. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/n, with cell dimensionsa=17.335(9),b=8.440(5),c=21.875(12) Å, β=91.94(5)°,Z=2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a finalR value of 0.0363 for 3022 non-zero reflections. The Zn2+ ion occupies twofold axis and is coordinated to four carboxylate ligands, the ZnO4 tetrahedron is considerably distorted with Zn−O distances of 1.978(3) and 1.961(3)Å. Each Na+ cation interacts with two water, one ethanol, and three carboxylate O atoms comprising distorted octahedron. The Zn2+ and Na+ cations are linked through monooxygen and syn-syn carboxylate bridges forming a trinuclear, mixed-metal cluster. The Zn...Na separation is 3.267(2)Å and Na...Na distance equals 3.520(2)Å. All oxygen bonded H-atoms are utilized in hydrogen bonds. The acridone rings overlap in the crystal with the 3.5 Å interlayer separations. The compound has been characterized by IR spectroscopy.

    Notes: Abstarct The ten metal cluster complex Pt2Ru8(CO)23(µ3−H)2, 1 was found to react with EtC2Et to form a new ten metal tris-alkyne complex Pt2Ru8(CO)18(µ3−EtC2Et)2 (µ4−EtC2Et),2 in 35% yield. Complex 2 was characterized by IR,1H NMR , and single crystalx-ray diffraction analyses. The cluster can be viewed as a dodecahedron of eight metal atoms capped with two ruthenium carbonyl groups, two triply bridging EtC2Et ligands and one quadruply bridging EtC2Et ligand. Application of the standard electron counting procedures indicate that this is an unusual complex in which the 18 electron rule applies and the polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory does not.

    Notes: Abstract Genetic ecology is the extension of our modern knowledge in molecular genetics to studies of viability, gene expression and gene movements in natural environments like soils, aquifers and digestive tracts. In such milieux, the horizontal transfer of plasmid-borne genes between phylogenetically distant species has already been found to be much more frequent than had been expected from laboratory experience. For the study of exchanges involving chromosomally-located genes, more has to be learned about the behaviour of transposons in such environments. The results expected from studies in genetic ecology are relevant for considerations of evolution, biodiversity and biosafety. The role of this new field of research in restoring popular confidence in science and in its biotechnological applications is stressed.

    Notes: Abstract To investigate a possible involvement of HLA-class II alleles in the genetic predisposition for the formation of anti-U1-nRNP antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), genomic DNA of 178 patients was typed for the DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 alleles using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and non-radioactive-oligonucleotide typing. Antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins (U1-A- U1-C-and 70K-protein) were determined by ELISA. Anti-U1-C antibody was found in 26 (14.7%), anti-U1-A in 34 (19.2%) and anti-70K in 17 (9.6%) patients. A joint occurrence was observed for these antibodies against the recombinant U1-nRNP proteins: anti-U1-C and anti-U1-A antibodies occurred together more frequently than alone and than together with anti-U1-70K antibodies. The frequency of DRB1 * 04 was slightly increased in the patients with anti-U1-C as compared to the patients without anti-U1-C (P〈0.05, Pcorr=n.s., RR=2.4). The DQA1 * 0301 allele, which is in linkage disequilibrium with DRB1 * 04, is found more frequently in anti-U1-C-positive than in antibody-negative patients. The DQB1 * 0303 allele, detected in 12 of 176 SLE patients, was absent in the patients with any of the antibodies against the U1-nRNP proteins. All these deviations may be due to chance alone. We concluded that the presence of antibodies against recombinant U1-nRNP proteins was not significantly associated with any HLA DRB1, DQA1 and DQB1 allele in our group of SLE patients.

    Notes: Abstract Energies for various trial packing arrangements of unit cells for the Iα and Iβ phases of native cellulose discovered by Sugiyamaet al. were evaluated. Both a rigid-ring method, PLMR, and the full-optimization, molecular mechanics program, MM3(90), were used. For both phases the models that had the lowest PLMR energy also had the lowest MM3 energy. Both calculated models have the chains packed ‘up’, O6s intg positions, and the same sheets of hydrogen-bonded chains. The Iβ structure model is essentially identical to that proposed previously for ramie cellulose by Woodcock and Sarko. It is also the same as the best parallel model previously proposed that was based on the X-ray data of Mann, Gonzalez and Wellard, once the various unit cell conventions are considered. Also, the energies from both methods for all three celluloses, Iα, Iβ and II, are in the order that rationalizes their relative stabilites.

    Notes: Abstract A family is reported in which a 29-year-old woman showed the clinical features of myotonic dystrophy while her 26-year-old brother presented with the clinical picture of limb girdle syndrome. In the affected female, direct genetic testing for the specific myotonic dystrophy mutation on chromosome 19 revealed abnormal expansion of a repeat unit containing the three nucleotides cytosine, thymine, and guanine (CTG) — typical for myotonic dystrophy — while her diseased brother displayed two normal alleles. This supports the hypothesis of the extremely rare occurrence of two clinically and genetically different myopathies in one family. Genetic analysis of six other family members showed that the father of the diseased siblings as well as all of his three brothers and sisters had a pathological CTG repeat expansion, and that the other two family members tested had a normal allelic pattern. The number of CTG repeats in the diseased women was approximately tenfold higher than in her asymptomatic relatives who revealed an abnormal allelic pattern. The increase in CTG repeats with transmission to a subsequent generation in this family was paralleled by a dramatic increase in the severity of myotonic dystrophy.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the relation between the crystal structure and superconductivity in La1.9Bi0.1CuO4+δ , in which the phase separation observed in La2CuO4+δ is suppressed. A phase diagram in theT−δ plane is given for La1.9Bi0.1CuO4+δ with excess oxygen. For very smallδ values, the crystal structure is orthorhombic, and an orthorhombic-tetragonal phase transition occurs markedly atδ ∼ 0.03 in the measured temperature range between 13 and 293 K. Superconductivity is observed in the range of 0.04〈δ〈0.11. This is clear evidence thathigh-T c superconductivity also appears in the tetragonal phase.

    Notes: Abstract      We describe a case of a desmoplastic brain tumor which was initially resected from the right fronto-temporal region in a 2 year-old boy. This nodular, calcified tumor was vascularized by the internal carotid artery and the middle meningeal artery branches. Grossly, it contained several mucoid cysts. Light microscopy showed cords or nests of small cuboidal cells surrounded by a loose connective tissue and desmoplasic areas containing fibers and spindle cells. The cuboidal cells expressed epithelial, neuronal and neuroendocrine markers. Some foci of spindle cells showed glial differentiation. The tumor recurred 16 months later and displayed some characteristics of the small cell neuroepithelial component, mitoses being conspicuous. Electron microscopy revealed undifferentiated clear cells, some containing neurosecretory granules. Karyotyping demonstrated the following formula: 〈 15 〉 46, t(8;11) (q13; q11). The chromosome 11 breakpoint was different from that described in Ewing's sarcoma. This isolated translocation has not been previously reported to our knowledge. These unusual features lead us to report this case and to discuss its pathogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract Several missense mutations within exons 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the gene for Cu/Zn-binding superoxide dismutase (SOD1) have been discovered to be involved in the development of chromosome 21q-linked familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). We describe here an autopsied patient with FALS, in whom we have recently identified a novel missense mutation in exon 1 of the SOD1 gene. The neuropathological findings were compatible with those described previously in patients with FALS with posterior column involvement. This suggests that mutations of the SOD1 gene may be responsible for this form of FALS.

    Notes: Summary YBCO with high granulometric perfection and low dispersion can be obtained by a low-temperature reaction (≈800°C) of atomic-scale dispersed powders, produced through the thermal decomposition of liquid precursors. As reacted such powders are tetragonal and not superconducting, but they transform into the high-T c phase after optimized annealing treatments. We describe the method we developed and the characteristics of the materials we achieved, and we discuss the main features of the process in the light of the current know-how.

    Notes: Summary Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) has a strong genetic component and maternal factors have recently been implicated in disease inheritance. The mitochondrial myopathies are a group of diseases which often show maternal inheritance as a result of mtDNA defects; some patients have impaired glucose tolerance. Occasional families with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness associated with a deletion or point mutation of mtDNA have been reported. To assess the importance of mitochondrial gene defects in NIDDM, 150 unrelated diabetic subjects from Wales, UK and 68 unrelated patients with diabetes and at least one affected sibling from England, UK were studied. Southern blot analysis did not show any large mtDNA deletions or duplications. One patient had a mutation in the mitochondrial tRNAleu(UUR) gene at bp 3243. This mutation is commonly associated with the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke like episodes (MELAS). Study of this patient and his siblings showed a distinct form of late-onset diabetes associated with nerve deafness but no clinical features of the MELAS syndrome. No diabetic subject was shown to have the mtDNA mutation at position 8344 (tRNAlys) which has previously been described in the syndrome of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and red-ragged fibres (MERRF). The role of other mitochondrial gene defects in diabetes and the pathophysiological basis of glucose intolerance in patients with the MELAS mutation requires further elucidation.

    Notes: Abstract The present paper reviews the evidence for a possible involvement of renal eicosanoids in the pathophysiology of high blood pressure in genetically hypertensive rats of the Lyon strain. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that an increased ability to synthesize the vasoconstrictor prostaglandin H2 and/or thromboxane A2 in renal vessels (1) acts as an autocrine amplifier of pressor agents and (2) may contribute to resetting the pressure natriuresis curve which is a prerequisite for the development and maintenance of hypertension.

    Notes: Summary In Finland the haplotype A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 is the third most common haplotype in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) patients and has the highest haplotype-specific absolute risk for IDDM. Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8 haplotypes containing HLA-A alleles other than A2 are infrequent in the population and are not associated with IDDM. Comparison of the A2 and non-A2 haplotypes at the DNA level showed that they were identical at HLA-B,-DR, and -DQ loci. Evidence that class I alleles confer susceptibility to IDDM was obtained from the two HLA-C, -B, -DR and -DQ haplotypes most frequently found in IDDM patients in Finland. A24, A3 and A2 on the Cw3, B62, DR4, DQ8 haplotype, and A28, A2 and A1 on the Cw7, B8, DR3, DQ2 were all found to be associated with IDDM. In Finland these seven haplotypes, including A2, Cw1, B56, DR4, DQ8, account for 33% of diabetic haplotypes and 10.3% of non-diabetic haplotypes (p〈0.00001). The contribution of the class I region to IDDM susceptibility was also apparent in those IDDM patients lacking the disease-predisposing class II alleles. Significantly more non-DR3/non-DR4 IDDM patients (47 of 55) possessed two of the IDDM-associated HLA-A alleles compared to non-DR3/non-DR4 control subjects (40 of 58; p=0.038). Moreover, IDDM patients confirmed by oligotyping as unable to form a ‘diabetes-susceptibility’ DQ heterodimer, tended to possess two diabetes-associated HLA-A alleles (12 of 13) compared to control subjects (12 of 20; p=0.056).

One family member presents with findings suggesting a forme fruste of this disease. Increased surveillance of family members of individuals with discrete subaortic membrane is warranted, as the clinical findings of mild subaortic obstruction may be indistinguishable from those of an innocent flow murmur.

Neither tricuspid atresia nor tricuspid annular hypoplasia and tricuspid atresia and one case of tricuspid annular hypoplasia with an atrial septal defect in siblings. The findings in this family suggest an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance for abnormal tricuspid valve morphogenesis.

The mutation inducing the development of extra embryos is also influencing erroneous cell division, mitosis and meiosis. The genetic analysis indicated that the aptitude for polyembryonic seed formation is a heritable trait controlled by a dominant gene. However, for expression of the phenotype the female parent should have a specific cytoplasm.

    Notes: Abstract Clinical and EEG family data of 140 cases with early childhood epilepsy with absences are presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate, whether the occurrence of generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS) as a presenting symptom might correlate with family data, i.e. whether there are indications of heterogeneity. One hundred and forty cases were selected from the epilepsy family data base of the Neuropaediatric Department. The selection parameter was epilepsy with absences manifesting between the 1 st and 5th year of age. The incidence of seizures was evaluated in siblings, parents and parents' siblings. EEG records were available from 103 parents and 106 siblings. The analysis supports the assumption of heterogeneity within early childhood absence epilepsy. Parents and their sibs of cases manifesting with GTCS had seizures twice as often than parents and their sibs in the non-GTCS group. In the affected relatives of the GTCS group early onset GTCS prevailed, whereas in the relatives of the non-GTCS group absences were found more frequently. The EEG of relatives showed elevated incidences of spikes and waves and photosensitivity in both groups, indicating common genetic factors. In parents of the non-GTCS group, however, EEG pathology was significantly more frequent than in parents of the GTCS group. Comparing EEG pathology in parents with seizure risk in siblings, evidence for maternal preponderance in transmission of the seizure liability was found. Mothers' EEG seems to be the best predictor of the seizure risk in probands' siblings. Early childhood epilepsy with absences can be regarded as an intermediate type, showing overlap with early onset GTCS and myoclonic astatic epilepsy on the one side and with childhood absence epilepsy on the other.

    Notes: Abstract The incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) were compared, controlling for age, in native-born Israelis of different origins and in immigrants to Israel. This comparison was carried out in two populations, countrywide and in Jerusalem. In the countrywide population, ascertainment was based mainly on hospitalizations; it included 252 patients who were native-born and 150 who had immigrated from Africa-Asia (AA immigrants). The 89 MS patients of Jerusalem also included patients diagnosed in outpatient clinics. In native-born Israelis whose father was born in Europe-America (I-EA), the incidence and prevalence of MS were found to be as high as or even higher than that found previously in immigrants from Europe-America. Among native-born Israelis whose father was born in Africa or Asia (I-AA), the yearly age-adjusted incidence and prevalence rates were found to be 1.4- to 1.8-fold higher than among AA immigrants, pointing to environmental factors. The incidence and prevalence rates in the I-EA were 1.2- to 1.6-fold higher than in the I-AA, pointing to genetic factors. These results seem to point to both environmental and genetic factors in the aetiology of MS. Further research is needed, however, to disentangle the genetic factors from possible environmental differences in the two ethnic groups.

    Notes: Abstract As part of a follow-up and family study of post-partum psychoses, this episode of illness being the first leading to psychiatric hospitalisation, patients with puerperal episodes (PE) and nonpuerperal episodes (NPE) of illness in the long-term course (n=79) were compared to patients with PE only (n=40). Few differences were found. Relatives of patients with PE only had a lower morbidity risk for functional psychoses than relatives of patients with PE and NPE. A favourable course of illness in the presence of a low genetic predisposition may be expected, according to the diathesis-stress model of functional psychoses.

    Notes: Abstract Fifteen patients aged 11–25 years (mean 15.37, SD 3.89) suffering from juvenile absence epilepsy are presented. Only 3 (20%) had absences (AS) as the only seizure type, 12 (80%) had associated generalized tonic-clinic seizures (GTCS) and in the remaining 3 with absences and GTCS there was also sporadic myoclonus. We found a higher frequency of AS in our patients by clinical history and video-EEG than has been previously reported. In our patients the mean age of onset in years was 11.4, SD 1.24 for AS, 13.12, SD 2.31 for GTCS and 12.5, SD 2.18 for myoclonus. The correct diagnosis was not made on referrals for any of the patients. It took an average of 3–5.5 years from the onset of the AS (range: 6–120 months) and 2 years from the occurrence of GTCS (average: 1–72 months) to make the correct diagnosis and institute proper treatment, which was valproic acid (VPA). The GTCS were controlled in all patients whereas AS continued in 6 (40%), but to a significantly lesser degree. The frequency and the duration of the GTCS before the start of VPA treatment seemed to have an adverse effect on AS control. We documented no circadian rhythm in either AS or the GTCS, except in 2 patients who had AS and GTCS mainly when they awoke in the morning. The sample size was too small to perform a proper genetic study, though a positive history of epilepsies of mixed types was obtained in 35.7% of the parents and the siblings of the probands.

    Notes: Abstract The reactions between Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) ions with isocinchomeronic acid (H2-isocin) afforded complexes of the general formula M(H-isocin)2-2H2O, whereas Fe(II) gives both red and deep red-brown products of the same formula. Various physical measurements suggest that the complexes of M = Co, Ni, Zn, and Fe (brown) are octahedrally coordinated by two aqua ligands and twotrans-N,O-bidentate H-isocin− anions with dimeric hydrogen bonding. Those for M = Mn and Fe (red) are the correspondingcis isomers. The structure of the manganese complex as determined by X-ray crystallography exhibitsC 2 molecular symmetry with Mn-N = 2.279(2), Mn-O(H-isocin)− = 2.196(2), and Mn-O(aqua) = 2.137(2) Å. Each aqua ligand forms two donor O-H ⋯ O hydrogen bonds with carboxy groups of different molecules in adjacent chains.

    Notes: Abstract The conformation of the TPT molecule has been analyzed using experimental and computational techniques. The solid-state molecular structure shows similar conformational features to those in the 2-pyrimidine and phenyl derivatives although a different pattern of bond angles in the triazine ring was observed. The AM1 calculations predicted two conformations of comparable stability (ΔE=1.8 kcal/mol) differing in the orientation of one pyrazole ring. While the minimum energy conformation corresponds to a model displayingC 3h symmetry (φ 1=φ 2=φ 3=0°), the other minimum (φ 1=φ 2=0°,φ 3=180°) is close to that observed in the solid state. The electron diffraction results are consistent with a planar or nearly planar conformation in agreement with the preceding studies.

    Notes: Abstract Many types of TiO2-SiO2 (Ti:Si=50:50 mol%) were prepared by the sol-gel procedure with and without 2-methyl-2, 4-pentanediol (MPD) as an organic ligand. The effect of MPD on the gel structure and the properties of the TiO2 crystals were studied by XRD and raman spectroscopy, and the effect of the sol standing time on the properties of the TiO2 crystals were also studied by XRD spectroscopy. In the gels with MPD, anatase of TiO2 appeared at approximately 580°C, and the crystal structures were similar despite the difference in the gel preparation procedure. The titania gels with MPD were presumed to be dispersed in the silica gel matrix without any Ti-O-Si bond. In the presence of MPD, the formation of titania gels is controlled and the specified TiO2 crystal is produced.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and one morphological marker were used to investigate quantitative trait loci (QTL) for morphological and physiological traits evaluated on 150 F2∶3 maize (Zea mays L.) lines derived from the cross of elite U.S. Corn Belt inbreds Mo17 and H99. F2∶3 lines were grown in a replicated experiment and evaluated for plant and ear heights and flowering traits. QTL were identified for each trait, and genetic effects were determined. Estimated gene action for the flowering traits was predominantly overdominance. Both parents contributed toward increased values for anthesis and silk emergence. QTL for increased plant and ear heights were usually contributed by the taller parent, Mo17. Estimated gene action for these traits was mainly partial to overdominance. QTL for plant height were located in the vicinity of loci defined by alleles with qualitative effects on plant height.

    Notes: Abstract Recent work has revealed random chromosome pairing and assortment in Saccharum spontaneum L., the most widely distributed, and morphologically and cytologically variable of the species of Saccharum. This conclusion was based on the analysis of a segregating population from across between S. spontaneum ‘SES 208’ and a spontaneously-doubled haploid of itself, derived from anther culture. To determine whether polysomic inheritance is common in Saccharum and whether it is observed in a typical biparental cross, we studied chromosome pairing and assortment in 44 progeny of a cross between euploid, meiotically regular, 2n=80 forms of Saccharum officinarum ‘LA Purple’ and Saccharum robustum ‘ Mol 5829’. Papuan 2n=80 forms of S. robustum have been suggested as the immediate progenitor species for cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum). A total of 738 loci in LA Purple and 720 loci in Mol 5829 were amplified and typed in the progeny by arbitrarily primed PCR using 45 primers. Fifty and 33 single-dose polymorphisms were identified in the S. officinarum and S. robustum genomes, respectively (χ 2 at 98%). Linkage analysis of single-dose polymorphisms in both genomes revealed linkages in repulsion and coupling phases. In the S. officinarum genome, a map hypothesis gave 7 linkage groups with 17 linked and 33 unlinked markers. Four of 13 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase and 9 were in coupling phase. In the S. robustum genome, a map hypothesis gave 5 linkage groups, defined by 12 markers, with 21 markers unlinked, and 2 of 9 pairwise linkages were in repulsion phase. Therefore, complete polysomic inheritance was not observed in either species, suggesting that chromosomal behavior is different from that observed by linkage analysis of over 500 markers in the S. spontaneum map. Implications of this finding for evolution and breeding are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The inheritance of phosphorous (P) — deficiency tolerance in rice was investigated by a sevenparent diallel. The parent materials involved were four P-efficient (IR20, IR54, IR28, and Mahsuri), one moderately P-efficient (TN1), and two P-inefficient (IR31406333-1 and IR34686-179-1-2-1), genotypes. Relative tilering ability (RTA) under P-deficient and P-supplemented soil conditions was the parameter used in determining the tolerance level of the different genotypes. Diallel graph analysis revealed that tolerant parents have an excess of recessive genes, while moderate and susceptible parents possess more dominant genes. Genetic-component analysis suggested that both additive and dominance gene effects are involved in the inheritance of P-deficiency tolerance in rice. The trait exhibited over doiminance as confirmed by the graphical analysis. Narrow-sense heritability of the trait was moderate (0.50) and environmental effects were low. Both the general combining ability (GCA) and the specific combining ability (SCA) were significant, but GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parents exhibited a high GCA whereas susceptibles have a very poor GCA, suggesting that tolerant parents were mostly enriched in additive genes and susceptible parents in non-additive genes. Crosses involving two high general combiners showed low SCA effects whereas crosses between poor general combiners manifested highly-significant SCA values.

    Notes: Abstract The concentration of potato leaf roll virus (PLRV), as measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, in the foliage of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) of cv ‘Maris Piper’ with secondary infection was 2900 ng/g leaf, whereas in clones G7445(1) and G7032(5) it was 180 ng/g leaf and 120 ng/g leaf, respectively. To examine the genetic control of resistance to PLRV multiplication, reciprocal crosses were made between the susceptible cultivar ‘Maris Piper’ and the two resistant clones, and the three parents were selfed. Seedling progenies of these families were grown to generate tubers of individual genotypes (clones). Clonally propagated plants were graft-inoculated, and their daughter tubers were collected and used to grow plants with secondary infection in which PLRV concentration was estimated. The expression of resistance to PLRV multiplication had a bimodal distribution in progenies from crosses between ‘Maris Piper’ and either resistant clone, and also in progeny from selfing the resistant parents, with genotypes segregating into high and low virus titre groups. Only the progeny obtained from selfing ‘Maris Piper’ did not segregate, all genotypes being susceptible to PLRV multiplication. The pattern of segregation obtained from these progenies fits more closely with the genetical hypothesis that resistance to PLRV multiplication is controlled by two unlinked dominant complementary genes, both of which are required for resistance, than with the simpler hypothesis that resistance is conferred by a single dominant gene, as published previously.

    Notes: Abstract RFLPs were used to investigate components of host-plant response to Exserohilum turcicum in 150 unselected F2∶3 lines of a B52/Mo17 maize population. Following inoculation with spore suspensions of the pathogen (race 0), components of disease development were measured and then quantitative trait mapping was performed to identify the location and effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) determining host-plant response. Components of interest were the average number of lesions per leaf, the average percent leaf tissue diseased (severity) and the average size of lesions (cm2). Based on a LOD threshold of 2.31 (P〈0.05), the number of lesions appears to be associated with QTLs on chromosomes 1S, 3L, 5S. Severity was associated with analogous regions and, in addition, QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 8L. Most QTLs, for either of these two components, involve additive gene action and partial dominance or overdominance. In contrast, lesion size was associated with QTLs on chromosomes 7L and 5L; recessive gene action may be involved at 7L.

    Notes: Abstract An F2 oat population was produced by crossing the diploid (n=7) species Avena strigosa (CI 3815) with A. wiestii (CI 1994), resistant and susceptible, respectively, to 40 isolates of Puccinia coronata, the causal agent of crown rust. Eighty-eight F2 individuals were used to construct an RFLP linkage map representing the A genome of cultivated hexaploid oat. Two hundred and eight RFLP loci have been placed into 10 linkage groups. This map covers 2416 cM, with an average of 12 cM between RFLP loci. Eighty-eight F3 lines, derived from F2 individuals used to construct the map, were screened for resistance to 9 isolates of P. coronata. One locus, Pca, was found to confer a dominant resistance phenotype to isolates 203, 258, 263, 264B, 290, 298, 325A, and 345. Pca also conferred resistance to isolate 276; however, an unlinked second gene may also be involved.

    Notes: Abstract Variability exists among worker honey bees for components of division of labor. These components are of two types, those that affect foraging behavior and those that affect life-history characteristics of workers. Variable foraging behavior components are: the probability that foraging workers collect (1) pollen only; (2) nectar only; and (3) pollen and nectar on the same trip. Life history components are: (1) the age the workers initiate foraging behavior; (2) the length of the foraging life of a worker; and (3) worker length of life. We show how these components may interact to change the social organization of honey bee colonies and the lifetime foraging productivity of individual workers. Selection acting on foraging behavior components may result in changes in the proportion of workers collecting pollen and nectar. Selection acting on life-history components may affect the size of the foraging population and the distribution of workers between within nest and foraging activities. We suggest that these components define possible sociogenic “pathways” through which colony-level natural selection can change social organization. These pathways may be analogous to developmental pathways in the morphogenesis of individual organisms because small changes in behavioral or life history components of individual workers may lead to major changes in the organizational structure of colonies.

Here we determine whether these puzzling results are best explained by either inadequate sampling of the laying worker population or reproductive conflict among workers resulting in differential treatment of eggs and larvae. Using colonies composed of workers from electrophoretically distinct subfamilies, we collected samples of adult bees engaged in the following behavior: “true” egg laying, “false” egg laying, indeterminate egg laying, egg cannibalism, or nursing (contact with larvae). We also collected samples of drone brood at four different ages: 0 to 2.5-h-old eggs, 0 to 24-h-old eggs, 3 to 8-day-old larvae, and 9 to 14-day-old larvae and pupae. Allozyme analyses revealed significant subfamily differences in the likelihood of exhibiting egg laying, egg cannibalism, and nursing behavior, as well as significant subfamily differences in drone production. There were no subfamily differences among the different types of laying workers collected from each colony, suggesting that discrepancies between subfamily biases in egg-laying behavior and drone production are not due to inadequate sampling of the laying worker population. Subfamily biases in drone brood production within a colony changed significantly with brood age. Laying workers had significantly more developed ovaries than either egg cannibals or nurses, establishing a physiological correlate for the observed behavioral genetic differences. These results suggest there is reproductive conflict among subfamilies and individuals within queenless colonies of honey bees. The implications of these results for the evolution of reproductive conflict, in both queenright and queenless contexts, are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Three experiments were performed to determine whether brood care in honey bee colonies is influenced by colony genetic structure and by social context. In experiment 1, there were significant genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on observations of individually labeled workers of known age belonging to two visually distinguishable subfamilies. In experiment 2, no genotypic biases in the relative likelihood of rearing drones or workers was detected, in the same colonies that were used in experiment 1. In experiment 3, there again were significant genotypic differences in the likelihood of rearing queens or workers, based on electrophoretic analyses of workers from a set of colonies with allozyme subfamily markers. There also was an overall significant trend for colonies to show greater subfamily differences in queen rearing when the queens were sisters (half- and super-sisters) rather than unrelated, but these differences were not consistent from trial to trial for some colonies. Results of experiments 1 and 3 demonstrate genotypic differences in queen rearing, which has been reported previously based on more limited behavioral observations. Results from all three experiments suggest that genotypic differences in brood care are influenced by social context and may be more pronounced when workers have a theoretical opportunity to practice nepotism. Finally, we failed to detect persistent interindividual differences in bees from either subfamily in the tendency to rear queen brood, using two different statistical tests. This indicates that the probability of queen rearing was influenced by genotypic differences but not by the effect of prior queen-rearing experience. These results suggest that subfamilies within a colony can specialize on a particular task, such as queen rearing, without individual workers performing that task for extended periods of time.

    Notes: Abstract The C60·2S8 complex was prepared by reaction of buckminsterfullerene C60 with sulfur in trichloroethylene and its single-crystal X-ray structure was studied at room temperature. Crystals of this compound are monoclinic, space groupC 2/c, a=20.90(1),b=21.10(1),c=10.537(9) Å, β=111.29(7)°,Z=4,d calc=1.89 g·cm−3. The crystal structure of the C60·2S8 complex consists of packed fullerene molecules that form hexagonal channels along thec axis with eight-membered crown-shaped S8 cyclic molecules inside the channels. The distances between the centers of neighboring fullerene molecules are 10.036(7), 10.636(7), and 10.537(9) Å. Each C60 molecule is linked to eight S8 molecules with ten shortened intermolecular contacts C...S 3.41(1)–3.52(2) Å. The average values of the C=C and C-C bond lengths are 1.32(3) and 1.47(3) Å, which attest to a significant degree of localization of electron density in the c60 molecule.

    Notes: Abstract At the present time alcoholism is recognized as a metabolic disease exhibiting the clinical features of craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, tolerance and physical dependence on alcohol, while both epidemiological and experimental studies have demonstrated that genetic factors may be important in determining whether an individual has a high or low vulnerability to develop alcoholism. Evidence also indicates that alcoholism is not characterized by a single gene single allele inheritance. Instead it seems that multiple genes and environmental factors interact to increase or decrease an individual's vulnerability to become an alcoholic. Current research is aimed at investigating whether certain behavioral, physiological and biochemical markers are highly associated with the incidence of alcoholism. Among the biochemical markers currently under investigation is the endogenous opioid system and its implication in mediating the reinforcing effects of ethanol. It is the objective of this manuscript to review current research on: (a) the interactions of ethanol with the endogenous opioid system at the molecular level; (b) the existence of genetically determined differences in the response of the endogenous opioid system to ethanol between subjects at high and low risk for excessive ethanol consumption, as well as between lines of animals showing preference or aversion for ethanol solutions; (c) the decrease of alcohol consumption following pretreatment with opioid antagonists; and (d) the possible use of specific opioid receptor antagonists together with behavioral therapy to modify drinking behavior, to control craving and to prevent relapse.

    Notes: Abstract The physicochemical properties and crystal structures of the crystalline salts formed by the interaction of an achiral anion, salicylate, with homochiral and racemic ephedrinium and pseudoephedrinium cations were determined. The interaction of ephedrinium or pseudoephedrinium with salicylate in aqueous solution yielded crystalline salts with the notable exception of homochiral ephedrinium. Evaporation of the solvent from solutions of homochiral ephedrine and salicyclic acid in various organic solvents, as well as grinding together solid homochiral ephedrine and solid salicylic acid, yielded viscous semisolids suggesting that homochiral ephedrinium salicylate has a low melting point and/or a high aqueous solubility. Mixing of the two viscous solids, obtained by grinding each of the opposite enantiomers of ephedrine with equimolar salicylic acid, resulted in the formation of racemic ephedrine and subsequently, upon heating, in the formation of racemic ephedrinium salicylate. While racemic ephedrinium salicylate exists as a crystalline compound (P21/n space group) with an equal number of opposite enantiomers in the unit cell, its diastereomer, racemic pseudoephedrinium salicylate, exists as a conglomerate, i.e. a physical mixture, of the homochiral crystals of the opposite enantiomers (each P21 space group). The inability of homochiral ephedrinium to exist as a crystalline salicylate salt at 20–25°C is attributed to its high energy conformation and/or to the poor packing of homochiral ephedrinium salicylate molecules in the crystal lattice.

    Notes: Abstract A chimeric gene encoding a ribozyme under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was introduced into transgenic tobacco plants. In vivo activity of this ribozyme, which was designed to cleave npt mRNA, was previously demonstrated by transient expression assays in plant protoplasts. The ribozyme gene was transferred into transgenic tobacco plants expressing an rbcS-npt chimeric gene as an indicator. Five double transformants out of sixteen exhibited a reduction in the amount of active NPT enzyme. To measure the amount of ribozyme produced, in the absence of its target, the ribozyme and target genes were separated by genetic segregation. The steady-state concentrations of ribozyme and target RNA were shown to be similar in the resulting single transformants. Direct evidence for a correlation between reduced npt gene expression and ribozyme expression was provided by crossing a plant containing only the ribozyme gene with a transgenic plant expressing the npt gene under control of the 35S promoter, i.e. the same promoter used to direct ribozyme expression. The expression of npt was reduced in all progeny containing both transgenes. Both steady-state levels of npt mRNA and amounts of active NPT enzyme are decreased. In addition, our data indicate that, at least in stable transformants, a large excess of ribozyme over target is not a prerequisite for achieving a significant reduction in target gene expression.

    Notes: Abstract Epidemiological and genetic variables for oral clefts were analysed for the years 1981–1989 in a case-control study of congenital malformations in the Emilia Romagna, Veneto, and Friuli regions, and in the Trento and Bolzano hospitals. Birth prevalence for all cases of cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL(P)) was 8.2 per 10,000 births, and that for cleft palate only (CP) was 6.1 per 10,000. Coexisting abnormalities were found in 23% of CL(P) cases and in 43% of CP. No clusters in time or space were detected. For isolated clefts, a predominance of males among CL(P) and of females among CP was found; epilepsy was the only maternal risk factor correlated with clefts, and an association between clefting and consanguinity was found. Empirical recurrence risks were calculated in both isolated CL(P) and CP.

    Notes: The crystal structure of an anionic form of salmon trypsin has been determined at 1.82 Å resolution. We report the first structure of a trypsin from a phoikilothermic organism in a detailed comparison to mammalian trypsins in order to look for structural rationalizations for the cold-adaption features of salmon trypsin. This form of salmon trypsin (T II) comprises 222 residues, and is homologous to bovine trypsin (BT) in about 65% of the primary structure. The tertiary structures are similar, with an overall displacement in main chain atomic positions between salmon trypsin and various crystal structures of bovine trypsin of about 0.8 Å. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions are compared and discussed in order to estimate possible differences in molecular flexibility which might explain the higher catalytic efficiency and lower thermostability of salmon trypsin compared to bovine trypsin. No overall differences in intramolecular interactions are detected between the two structures, but there are differences in certain regions of the structures which may explain some of the observed differences in physical properties. The distribution of charged residues is different in the two trypsins, and the impact this might have on substrate affinity has been discussed. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Trichosanthin (TCS) is one of the single chain ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs). The crystals of the orthorhombic form of trichosanthin have been obtained from a citrate buffer (pH 5.4) with KC1 as the precipitant. The crystal belongs to the space group P212121 with a = 38.31, b = 76.22, c = 79.21 Å. The structure was solved by molecular replacement method and refined using the programs XPLOR and PROLSQ to an R-factor of 0.191 for the reflections within the 6-1.88 Å resolution range. The bond length and bond angle in the protein molecule have root-mean-square deviations from ideal value of 0.013 Å and 3.3°, respectively. The refined model includes 247 residues and 197 water molecules. The TCS molecule consists of two structural domains. The large domain contains six α-helices, a six stranded sheet, and an antiparallel β-sheet. The small domain has a largest α-helix, which shows a distinct bend. The possible active site of the molecule located on the cleft between two domains was proposed. In the active site Arg-163 and Glu-160, Glu-189 and Arg-122 form two ion pairs, Glu-189 and Gln-156 are hydrogen bonded to each other. Three water molecules are bonded to the residues in the active site region. The structures of TCS molecule and ricin A-chain (RTA) superimpose quite well, showing that the structures of the two protein molecules are homologous. Comparison of the structures of the TCS molecule in this orthorhombic crystal with that in the monoclinic crystal indicates that there are no essential differences of the structures between the two protein crystals. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract The phase diagram of the binary (i-C5H11)4NF-water system has been studied in the clathrate formation region. Three polyhydrates have been discovered, two of which (1∶38.9 and 1∶32.7) are the known orthorhombic and tetragonal phases:Pbmn,a=11.88,b=21.53,c=12.70 Å,ρ means=1.019 g cm-3 (0°C), m.p.=32.4°C andP42/m, a=23.729,c=12.466 Å,ρ means=1.062 g cm-3, (0°C), m.p.=31.2°C, respectively. A single crystal X-ray analysis of the novel clathrate hydrate (i-C5H11)4NF·27 H2O is reported. This new clathrate hydrate is tetragonal,I4I/a, witha=16.894(5),c=17.111(2) Å,Z=4, (−50°C), and m.p.=34.6°C. Each (i-C5H11)4N+ cation occupies a four-chamber cavity built of 15-hedra 71635942 (idealized description), with small vacant 5444 cavities filling the intervening space.

    Notes: Abstract An inclusion complex with the formula (β-cyclodextrin) (sulfathiazole) 8.3 H2O has been crystallized and characterized by physicochemical methods including single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21, witha=15.264(4),b= 16.500(6),c=15.559(5) Å,β=117.29(3)o andZ=2. The structure was solved using published co-ordinates forβ-cyclodextrin in an isomorphous complex. Refinement by block-diagonal leastsquares yieldedR=0.061 for 4706 unique observed reflections. Inclusion of sulfathiazole produces a slight ellipticity in the host conformation, but the guest adopts a conformation similar to that observed in its polymorphs. The guest is held in the macrocyclic cavity predominantly by hydrophobic forces, with the phenyl ring near the host primary hydroxyl side and the thiazole ring near the secondary hydroxyl side. The complex packs in layers parallel to theac-plane. Layers are linked by hydrogen bonding to water molecules which are located outside the cyclodextrin cavity. An extensive network of hydrogen bonds mediated chiefly by water molecules stabilizes the crystal structure.

    Notes: Abstract The structures of gossypol complexes are extremely sensitive to the halogenomethane present as the guest; e.g. changing the number of Cl atoms in chloromethane derivatives changes the structure of the gossypol complex. The crystals of C30H30O8·CH2Cl2 are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a=21.320(4),b=19.199(6),c=15.765(2)Å, β=113.05(2)o,V=5916(2)Å3,Z=8,D x=1.35 g/cm3,T=295 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the finalR value of 0.084 for 1828 reflections. In the structure H-bonded gossypol molecules form columns, generating channels in the structure which are filled by guest molecules. After decomposition (desolvation) monocrystals of the complexes are conserved without destruction, in which there are rather wide and empty channels though slightly smaller than in the complex. An attempt is made to explain some peculiarities of the behavior of the gossypol polymorph formed on the basis of its structure with empty channels.

    Notes: Abstract The crystal structure of a compound obtained in a condensation reaction of (±)-gossypol with (R)-(+)-phenylethylamine has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of C46H48O6N2·(C4H8O2)2 are monoclinic, space groupP21,a=21.243(3),b=8.666(1),c=28.651(4) Å, β=108.24(1)0,V=5009(3) β3,Z=4,D x=1.195 g cm−3, μ(CuK α)=0.66 mm−1,T=292 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the finalR value of 0.091 for 4290 observed reflections and 1049 parameters. There are two diastereoisomeric molecules of the host and four solvent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The host molecules are H-bonded into chains with diastereoisomeric molecules alternating along the chain. The fact that the host prefers the association mode in which molecules with a different configuration of the 2,2′-binaphthyl moiety are H-bonded explains why separation of diastereoisomeric diaminogossypols by fractional crystallization has been unsuccessful. The 1,4-dioxane molecules are accommodated in infinite channels but only every second guest molecule in a channel is H-bonded to the host.

    Notes: Abstract An X-ray analysis of single crystals (from MeOH) of cyclo(-D-Leu-L-MeLeu-D-Leu-L-MeLeu-D-Leu-L-MeLeu-) has been carried out. The analysis reveals that the molecules of the cyclopeptide occur in the crystals with two slightly different, almost hexagonal backbone conformations of the β-type, and that pairs of molecules with the same conformation interact through their nonmethylated face, forming dimeric units (units A and B) with six interannular H-bonds. This kind of pairing reproduces well that expected for a two-ring element in a stack of antiparalleβ-rings. The X-ray analysis has also revealed the presence in the A units of two water molecules, each at one of two equivalent sites located on the 3-fold axis of the units and equidistant from the center of gravity, and the presence in the B units of one water molecule at the center of the units. This provides experimental support for the idea that stacks ofβ-rings can serve as molecular channels.

    Notes: Abstract Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of N(nPr)4[B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2,1, and N(nBu)4 [B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2,2, reveal that these materials are novel clathrates, the isotypic host structures of which are three-dimensional assemblies of hydrogen-bonded [B5O6(OH)4]− ionsand B(OH)3 molecules. The assembly of only the pentaborate anions is a distorted (i.e., along [102] elongated) fourconnected diamond-related network. The N(nPr) 4 + and N(nBu) 4 + ions are trapped within the complex three-dimensional channel systems of the host frameworks. Both1 and2 crystallize monoclinically with space groupP21/c andZ=4. The cell constants are:1:a=13.592(5),b=12.082(2),c=17.355(6) Å, β=106.60(2)° (298K);2:a=13.874(3),b=12.585(1),c=17.588(4) Å, β=107.04(1)° (238 K). The results obtained by both11B and13C MAS NMR spectroscopy are discussed. Thermogravimetric studies under a flowing inert-gas atmosphere suggest that water, stemming from polycondensation of the hydrous borate species, is released from the clathrates at ca. 443 K (1) and 398 K (2) before the decomposition of the organic cations starts at ca. 603 K (1) and 603 K (2).

    Notes: Abstract The structures of three arene-tricarbonylchromium complexes prepared from cone and 1,3-alternate-25, 26,27,28-tetrapropoxycalix[4]arene(1) and Cr(CO)6 were determined by single crystal X-ray studies. Crystal data for 1,3-alternate-1·Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=19.496(3)Å,b=11.118(2)Å,c=19.121(2)Å, β=109.95°(1) andV=3895Å3. The structure was refined toRw=0.068. Crystal data for cone-1·Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=21.457(4)Å,b=12.184(1)Å,c=14.816(2)Å, β=91.61°(1) andV=3872Å3. The structure was refined toRw=0.077. Crystal data for cone-1·2Cr(CO)3 are space groupP21/a,a=18.019(3)Å,b=41.347(4)Å,c=11.743(2)Å, β=97.39°(1) andV=8676Å3. The single crystal included two similar but slightly different structures but the data were successfully refined toRw=0.092. The structure of 1,3-alternate-1·Cr(CO)3 differs only slightly from that of the regular 1,3-alternate calix[4]arene. In contrast, cone-1·Cr(CO)3 and cone-1·2Cr(CO)3 show an unusual conformation with a pair of faced gablelike roofs, which is considerbly distorted from the regular cone calix[4]arene. The origin of this distortion is discussed in combination with the spectral studies.

    Notes: Abstract Lipophilic derivatives of benzo-12-crown-4 and naphtho-12-crown-4 have been synthesized. The behavior of the parent compounds and their derivatives in membrane ion-selective electrodes have been studied. Selectivity changes have been observed with the rise in lipophilicity. Crystal structures of the NaI and KI complexes of benzo-12-crown-4 (1 and2) have been determined by X-ray analysis. The alkali metal and iodide ions are in direct contact in2 but not in1. Compound1 [Na(benzo-12-crown-4)2]·I is triclinic, witha=13.368(8),b=10.727(7),c=10.325(4) Å; α=73.56(4),β=77.73(4), γ=108.70(5)°;Z=2, space group is $$P\bar 1$$ . Compound2 [K(benzo-12-crown-4)2·I] is monoclinic, witha=15.807(8),b=12.043(4),c=15.601(6) Å,β=117.74(3)°;Z=4, space groupC2/c. In both compounds the cations interact with all oxygen atoms of two crown ether molecules. Correlation of the crystal structures and behavior of the crown ethers in ion-selective membrane electrodes is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A new cation-radical salt (ET)4[Hg2I6] (1), where ET is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, has been synthesized in the system ET-HgI3 −-PhCl. An X-ray study of 1 (a=41.02(5),b=23.01(1),c=8.233(2) Å,V=7772(3) Å3, space groupPc21 b,Z=4,d calc=2.308 g cm−3) has established its composition, chemical formula, and the main structural features. The ET cation-radicals are packed in the conducting layer, the type of packing is α″; the [Hg2I6]2− anion has a dimeric structure. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the (ET)4[Hg2I6] crystals (σ300=6 Ohm−1 cm−1) has a semiconducting character.

    Notes: Abstract The side reaction of macrocyclization that occurs during the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide ketone) by polycondensation of a 4,4-dihalobenzophenone with sodium sulfide was studied. It was found that the major product of this reaction is a cyclic trimer, cyclotris-(4,4"-thiodiphenylene ketone) (1). Despite the fact that ketone bridges are more rigid than sulfide bridges, the yield of the macrocycle is rather high, as it is in the synthesis of poly-(1,4-phenylenesulfide), and reaches 20% under high dilution conditions. The structure of 1 was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (R = 0.069 on 3138 reflections). Macrocycle 1 is strongly flattened in the crystal; the conformation observed is determined by the packing, since stereochemical analysis indicates high flexibility of the macrocycle. The solvate acetone molecules incorporated in the crystal are disordered, nevertheless, they are strongly fixed in the cavities and channels of the crystal structure.

    Notes: We present a systematic comparison of the correlation contribution at the level of the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) and MP2 to the static dipole polarizability of (1) Be, BeH-, BH, CH+, MgH-, AIH, SiH+, and GeH+; (2) BH3, CH4, NH3, H2O, HF, BF, and F2; and (3) N2, CO, CN-, HCN, C2H2, and HCHO. Fairly extended basis sets were used in the calculations. We find that the agreement with experimental values is improved in SOPPA and MP.2 over the results at the SCF level. The signs and magnitudes of the correlation contribution in SOPPA are similar to those obtained in analytical derivative MP2 calculations. However, it is not possible to say, in general, which method gives the largest correlation contribution or the best agreement with experiment, nor is it possible to make a priori prediction of the sign of the correlation contribution. For the first group of molecules, which have a quasi-degenerate ground state, additional CCDPPA and CCSDPPA calculations were performed and compared with polarizabilities obtained as analytical/numerical derivatives of the CCD and CCSD energies. The CCSDPPA results were found to be in better agreement with other calculations than were the SOPPA results, demonstrating the necessity of using methods based on infinite-order perturbation theory for these systems. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: To accelerate the convergence of the HH expansion, we modified the HH-GLF method, a new simple hyperspherical harmonic method proposed recently by us, into the CFHH-GLF method. Applications of the CFHH-GLF method to the three-body systems He and e- e- e+ exhibit very fast convergence with number of HH basis sets. With only 36 HH and five GLF, we obtain the ground-state energy of -2.90371 au for He, compared with the exact value of -2.90372 au, and with only 36 HH and 10 GLF, we obtained the ground-state energy of -0.26188 au for e- e- e+, compared with the exact value of -0.26200 au. We formulate the CFHH-GLF method in this article. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An iso-energy cutoff scheme is introduced for the calculation of the potential of mean force between two ions in water. The cutoff criterion is based on the optimal interaction of the water dipole with the ion pair, for which analytical expressions are derived. Formulas are also derived to characterize the solvent reorganization contribution to the potential of mean force. Treatment of the contributions from waters outside the cutoff is also discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The elongation method, a theoretical tool to synthesize the electronic states of polymers, is applied within the framework of the density functional approach and using a linear combination of Gaussian-type orbitals. In this treatment, the wave function of a cluster is localized and the interaction with an attacking monomer is self-consistently calculated according to the Kohn-Sham equation. The reliability and the applicability of our treatment are examined by the application to a random hydrogen molecule cluster, comparing the results with those obtained by the usual diagonalization method for the whole system. The results show that this treatment efficiently provides the electronic states of the end part of aperiodic polymers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new approach to the description of the formation of spherulites in a polymer solution is proposed. It is based on an analytical scheme that takes into account the mass conservation law as a fundamental evolution equation. Three physically interesting cases are considered, both which, on deterministic and stochastic levels, can reflect an asymptotic behavior characteristic for spherulites, namely, R(t) ∝ t, where R(t) is a radius of the spherulite measured at instant t. A few examples of systems similar to that under study are mentioned. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An elongation method, which had already been proposed to calculate the electronic structure of aperiodic polymer efficiently, was applied to atactic polypropylene, with the approximation level of the extended Hückel method. The atomic populations thus calculated were found to be dependent sensitively on the tacticity of the polymer. Next, this elongation method was applied to the π-electron stacking system composed of ethylene and butadiene, etc. Excellent agreement was found between the elongation method and the usual extended Hückel calculations. Thus, the elongation method can confidently be applied to π-electron molecular crystal systems. Finally, the local density of states of polyacetylene with both cis-transoid and trans-cisoid structures was calculated. We found that the site with large local density of state in the valence band of a polymer chain gives large electron transfer to the site with large local density of state in the conduction band of another polymer chain. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Structural and electronic properties of hydrogen-bonded infinite chains of hydrogen cyanide and formamide molecules have been investigated by the ab initio crystal orbital method using several, partly highly polarized, atomic basis sets of increasing size at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level and by including electron correlation effects in the second order of Møller-Plesset perturbation theory. The results obtained show that hydrogen bonding in molecular crystals of the type investigated is a highly cooperative phenomenon, both from the structural and energetic points of view. Comparison with clusters of up to four monomers demonstrate how various structural parameters converge toward their limiting values in the infinite system. The results obtained for infinite HCN chains show an excellent agreement with those observed for solid HCN, whereas the infinite formamide chain proves to be a reasonable model for the corresponding liquid phase. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The many-electron system in one and two dimensions are studied within the geminal approach. The analytical expressions for the wave functions and ground-state energies are obtained for a number of 1-D and 2-D systems: conjugated polymers, organic conductors, 2-D conductors with square lattices, and others. It is shown that electron excitations of a kink type can exist in 2-D systems with mixed valency. In this case, the correlation pairing of current carriers arises as a result of correlation effects leading to superconducting properties of the system. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The multiparticle correlation expansion for the entropy of a classical monatomic liquid is presented. This entropy expresses the physical picture in which there is no free particle motion, but, rather, each atom moves within a cage formed by its neighbors. The liquid expansion, including only pair correlations, gives an excellent account of the experimental entropy of most liquid metals, of liquid argon, and of the hard-sphere liquid. The pair correlation entropy is well approximated by a universal function of temperature. Higher-order correlation entropy, due to n-particle irreducible correlations for n ≥ 3, is significant in only a few liquid metals, and its occurrence suggests the presence of n-body forces. When the liquid theory is applied to the study of melting, we discover the important classification of normal and anomalous melting, according to whether there is not or is a significant change in the electronic structure upon melting, and we discover the universal disordering entropy for melting of a monatomic crystal. Interesting directions for future research are extension to include orientational correlations of molecules, theoretical calculation of the entropy of water, application to the entropy of the amorphous state, and correlational entropy of compressed argon. We clarify the relation among different entropy expansions in the recent literature. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The first implementation of the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) method within the density functional theory (DFT) framework is presented. The implementation has been applied to four different types of chemical reactions represented by the isomerization process, HCN = HNC (A); the SN2 process, H- + CH4 = CH4 + H- (B); the exchange process, H· + HX = HX + H· (X = F,Cl) (C); and the elimination process, C2H5Cl = C2H4 + HCl (D). The present study presents for each process optimized structures and calculated harmonic vibrational frequencies for the reactant(s), the transition state, and the product(s) along with the IRC path connecting the stationary points. The calculations were carried out within the local density approximation (LDA) as well as the LDA/NL scheme where the LDA energy expression is augmented by Perdew's and Becke's nonlocal (NL) corrections. The LDA and LDA/NL results are compared with each other as well as the best available ab initio calculations and experimental data. For reaction (D), ab initio calculations based on MP2 geometries and MP4SDTQ energies have been added due to the lack of accurate published post-HF calculations on this process. A detailed discussion is provided on the efficiency of the IRC algorithms, the relative accuracy of the DFT and ab initio schemes, as well as the reaction mechanisms of the four reactions. It is concluded that the LDA/NL scheme affords the same accuracy as does the MP4 method. The post-HF methods seem to overestimate activation energies, whereas the corresponding LDA/NL estimates are too low. The LDA activation energies are even lower than the LDA/NL counterparts. The incorporation of the IRC method into the DFT framework provides a promising and reliable tool for probing the chemical reaction path on the potential energy surfaces, even for large-size systems. IRC calculations by ab initio methods of an accuracy similar to the LDA/NL scheme, such as the MP4 scheme, are not feasible. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The first discussion of the dynamics of Jahn-Teller systems in terms of the electronic density as the fundamental variable was given by W.J. Clinton in 1960, where the degenerate electronic configuration of a Jahn-Teller molecule was interpreted in terms of the infinite number of ways in which the charge distribution can be oriented for the same energy. The moving nuclear framework serves as the perturbation necessary to define the orientation of the charge density, with no activation energy required to put the charge cloud into motion. Recently, this notion of the electronic charge cloud in a Jahn-Teller molecule sweeping out the potential surface over which the nuclei move has found mathematical expression in our work in terms of a generalized electronic current density in nuclear-coordinate space [N. Sukumar and B.M. Deb, Int. J. Quantum Chem. 40, 501 (1991)]. The introduction of the electronic phase as a function of both electronic and nuclear coordinates, in addition to the electronic density, is a crucial component of this formulation. In the present work, the density-based treatment is extended to the nonadiabatic situation, with the Born couplings interpreted as nonadiabatic currents in parameter space. Abelian and non-Abelian gauge transformations of these currents are discussed. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Second-order density functional methods are used to introduce the electron correlation in Hartree-Fock (HF) ab initio electronic energy calculations of three-dimensional potential energy surfaces (PES). We analyze the behavior of these methods in PES calculations by applying them to the Li + FH reaction, which has been considered a prototype of the elementary atom-diatom reactions. This system has been studied also by the usual techniques, allowing a point-by-point (for a total of 317 grid points) comparison for the lowest 2A' adiabatic state. In particular, we compare the results obtained using the HF, Møller-Plesset (MP3 level), and configuration interaction (CISD and MRDCI levels) methods with the corresponding results obtained using the Colle-Salvetti (CS) and Moscardó-San Fabián (MSF) procedures using the HF results as the starting point. We found that the CS and MSF procedures support the prediction of a shallow well in the entrance channel that deepens slightly away from collinearity and disappears for a bond angle Θ 〈 74°. We also found that the constrained saddle-point positions remain essentially constant from Θ = 180°-90° and are clearly in the exit channel as for the MRDCI approach (corresponding to the best results). In conclusion, there is a good overall agreement, but there is a question in which this agreement is less pronounced: the heights of the saddle points including the transition state. In particular, the transition-state height is about 3 kcal/mol higher than the more accurate value obtained with the MRDCI approach. However, the second-order density functional methods have been capable of reducing the HF barrier from 18 to 9 kcal/mol (all of these values obtained by spline interpolation), the latter value being very similar to the CISD result. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Chemical binding is modeled through interatomic charge transfer and accumulation of electron density at the bond center using the concepts of electronegativity and hardness parameters defined for the bond region. The generalized electronegativity and hardness parameters for the up- and down-spin electrons are also defined within the framework of spin-polarized density functional theory, leading to the formulation of covalent binding in molecules in terms of a two-way flow of unpaired electrons between the atoms. The associated energy changes corresponding to these descriptions are shown to provide quite accurate predictions of bond energies for simple heteronuclear diatomic molecules. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The coordination chemistry of the zinc ion in the active site of alcohol dehydrogenase has been studied by the ab initio Hartree-Fock method. Geometry optimizations were performed using analytical gradients and basis sets of double-zeta quality. Correlation effects were included at the MP2 level. The active site was modeled by Zn(HS)2XL(H2O)0-2, where X denotes ammonia or imidazole and L denotes water, methanol, ethanol, or the corresponding aldehydes or anions. It is shown that with uncharged L-ligands the four-coordinate complexes are about 20, 17, and 40kJ/mol more stable than are the corresponding three-, five-, and six-coordinate complexes, respectively. If the L-ligand is negatively charged, only the four-coordinate complexes are stable. These results suggest that the active-site zinc ion in alcohol dehydrogenase prefers a coordination number of four during the catalytic reaction, especially when the nonprotein ligand is negatively charged. Ligand exchange at the zinc ion is likely to proceed by an associative mechanism with intermittent formation of a five-coordinate complex. The results lend no support to mechanistic proposals attributing an important catalytic role to a negatively charged five-coordinate hydroxide or alkoxide ligand. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Unrestricted Hartree-Fock, coupled-cluster calculations are reported for the ground state of NeH+ using atomic basis sets of increasing size and accuracy for both Ne and H. The goal is to determine the basis set and coupled-cluster level of calculation needed to obtain a NeH+ potential energy curve of known accuracy. Here, it is shown that calculations using a quintuple zeta basis at the coupled-cluster singles and doubles level with noniterative triples, CCSD(T), predict a Ne - H bond dissociation energy that is within about 0.01 eV of the exact Born-Oppenheimer molecular electronic structure result. Spectroscopic constants determined using the Simons-Parr-Finlan procedure are found to be in very good agreement with the experimental results. Calculations at the augmented quadruple zeta level for the two lowest triplet excited states of the NeH+ species are presented. Both of these states separate into ground-state Ne+ and H(1s). The resulting potential curves predict stable minima at the SCF, CCSD, and CCSD(T) levels with dissociation energies of about 0.07 eV. Spectroscopic constants from the potential curves and dissociation constants are reported. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have demonstrated molecular dynamics simulations using a combination of the classical molecular dynamics with density functional theory for argon clusters. Three different molecular dynamics schemes, which differ in their treatment of the potential energy and forces, have been carried out. The first uses a Lennard-Jones potential. In the second, the potential is computed using the Harris functional, and in the third, a combination of Lennard-Jones and Harris functional potentials is used. In addition to direct examination of the trajectories, the velocity autocorrelation function and its power spectrum have been computed to demonstrate the agreement between these three methods. The present studies show that a scheme that used a combination of model potentials and density functional theory provides a very useful tool for the dynamics simulation of systems that contain some fragments in which the analytical model potentials are not available. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Local spin density (LSD) methods were used to study the concerted 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions for fulminic acid plus acetylene, fulminic acid plus ethylene, and nitrone plus ethylene. Cartesian Gaussian double-zeta split-valence basis sets augmented with one set of polarization functions (DZVP) were used for the LSD calculations. The LSD calculations were performed with the LSD exchange functional (Dirac) and with the Vosko, Wilk, and Nusair correlation energy functional (VWN). Nonlocal spin-density corrections (NLSD) were estimated with the exchange functional of Becke and the correlation energy functional of Perdew (VWN + BP) and Becke, and the correlation energy functional of Lee, Yang, and Parr (B-LYP). Vibrational frequencies were computed at the VWN and B-LYP levels by numerical differentiation of the analytical first derivatives of the energy. Each of these reactions was examined using Hartree-Fock and Møller-Plesset perturbation theory for comparison. Geometry optimizations were carried out at the Hartree-Fock level with the 6-311G(d,p) basis set, and correlation energies were computed up to the MP4SDTQ/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. For the reactions of fulminic acid plus acetylene, fulminic acid plus ethylene, and nitrone plus ethylene, our best estimated density functional barrier heights are 7.8 ± 1.5, 8.9 ± 0.3, and 11.05 ± 1.9 kcal/mol, respectively. These results are in reasonable agreement with the correlated wave-function calculations and experimental estimates. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this work, a way to approximate the correlation energy functional starting from a model correlation factor is shown. The problem is addressed by using formally exact properties of the second-order density matrix and actual values of correlation energies for atoms. An Ansatz for the correlation factor is proposed that allows one to derive some known and some new correlation energy density functionals. Results for atomic systems show the reliability of the approach. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An analysis is presented of the results of earlier ab initio computational studies of cyclobutadiene, cyclooctatetraene, and 1,4-dihydropyrazine. The first and third of these are normally categorized as antiaromatic. All three molecules are polyenes, even when the last two are forced into planar conformations. There is no driving force for extensive π delocalization, even when it would appear to have been facilitated. Calculated isodesmic energies show a net destabilization only in the case of cyclobutadiene, which we attribute to strain and repulsion between the π electrons of the C=C double bonds. The other two molecules have negative isodesmic energies, indicative of net stabilizing effects. We conclude that the concept of antiaromaticity is useful for identifying molecules that resist the apparent opportunity for extensive © delocalization, but that it does not intrinsically imply net destabilization. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Use of orthogonalized Hartree product (OHP) orbitals as the reference orbitals in coupled-cluster (cc) calculations is presented. Since such orbitals are determined without exchange, they provide as “classical” a description as possible. The OHP orbitals were generated by implementing Harris's formulation of the original Hartree method. Some computational considerations of the formulation are discussed. A critical evaluation of the OHP method as an orbital localization scheme is presented. The OHP orbitals were used as the reference in CCD and CCSD calculations and compared with corresponding Hartree-Fock (HF) reference CC results. The average variation of localized Hartree product (LHP) reference CCSD energy from that of the HF reference is 0.83 kcal/mol, whereas for CCD, the average variation is 234 kcal/mol, indicating the importance of single-excitation effects in CC calculations with non-HF references. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of complete coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT) calculations have been performed with Hartree-Fock (HF) and Brueckner (B) orbitals. Calculations have been performed with a double-zeta plus polarization basis set on the H2O, SiH2, NH2, BeO, C2, CN+, and BN molecules. Calculations on H2O and SiH2 at equilibrium and stretched geometries show negligible difference between HF-and B-CCSDT energies. This is also true for NH2, except when the bonds have been stretched to twice their equilibrium values, at which point there is about a 2.5 milli-Hartree (mEh) difference. Calculations on the isoelectronic systems BeO, C2, CN+, and BN were performed at equilibrium geometries. Even though these systems have large T1 amplitudes, the difference between HF- and B-CCSDT energies is only about 1 mEh. For the CCSD method and the CCSD(T) method, which includes triple excitations in an approximate, noniterative manner, however, somewhat larger differences are observed between and HF-and B-CC results. Finally, some properties of BN were computed using HF- and B-CC methods. There are quite small differences between the HF- and B-CCSDT results, but significantly larger ones for the more approximate CCSD and CCSD(T) methods. For this difficult system, where the CCSD(T) approximation seems to be inadequate for HF orbitals, the use of Brueckner orbitals improves the agreement of CCSD(T) with CCSD(T) substantially for re and we, although the difference for μ is unaffected. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A computational study, using relativistic effective core potentials, is presented of transition metalmain group multiply bonded complexes, of interest in the context of catalysis and chemical vapor deposition of TM/MG materials. Model d0 transition metal complexes chosen are of the general form ClnME where M = Zr (n = 2), Ta (n = 3), and W (n = 4). Main group elements of interest are the tetrels (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn), pnictogens (E = N, P, As, Sb), and chalcogens (E = O, S, Se, Te). A comparison between calculated metric data and available experimental data for a wide range of TM = MG complexes will help in further assessing efficient computational approaches to TM complexes, particularly of the heavier MG elements, as a function of metal, ligand and level of theory. In the present work restricted Hartree Fock (RHF) and Møller-Plesset second order perturbation theory (MP2) wavefunctions were employed. In most cases there are small differences between RHF and MP2 calculated geometries, with both methods showing good agreement with experimental data, suggesting these approaches will be suitable for the study of larger, more experimentally relevant models. Changes in ZrE bond lengths for E = chalcogen (upon going from RHF to MP2) suggest a fundamentally different description between the Zr-oxo bond and heavier chalcogens, a result supported by recent experimental data for a series of Zr-chalcogenidos. To date no examples have been reported of arsinidene and stibinidene complexes. Computational results show similar behavior among the heavier pnictogen complexes, i.e., LnM = EH (E = P, As, Sb), suggesting that strategies used to synthesize phosphinidenes may be suitable in the search for the first LnM = AsR and LnM = SbR complexes. Additionally, calculations suggest that design of ligand sets which yield linearly coordinated phosphinidenes (and presumably As and Sb analogues) will lead to phosphinidenes with stronger metal-pnictogen bonds and increased thermodynamic stability versus nonlinearly coordinated examples. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Relativistic pair correlation energies of Xe were computed by employing a recently developed relativistic coupled cluster theory based on the no-pair Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian. The matrix Dirac-Fock-Breit SCF and relativistic coupled cluster calculations were performed by means of expansion in basis sets of well-tempered Gaussian spinors. A detailed study of the pair correlation energies in Xe is performed, in order to investigate the effects of the low-frequency Breit interaction on the correlation energies of Xe. Nonadditivity of correlation and relativistic (particularly Breit) effects is discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Slater-type orbitals (STOs) with a single-exponent by shell or by subshell have been constructed to reduce the number of integrals evaluated in the electronic calculations. The expansion of orbitals in these new basis sets has been carried out in detail for the ground state of the Ne atom. We have carried out a study of STO basis sets with a different size for this atom that could help to propose empirical rules for the selection of these basis sets for other atoms. The usefulness of STOs with single-exponent by shell and subshell and the splitting of s and p functions are discussed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An application of symplectic implicit Runge-Kutta (RK) integration schemes, the s-stage Gauss-Legendre Runge-Kutta (GLRK) methods of order 2s, for the numerical solution of molecular dynamics (MD) equation is described. The two-stage fourth-order GLRK method, the implicit midpoint rule, and the three-stage diagonally implicit RK method of order four are studied. The fixed-point iteraction was used for solving the resulting nonlinear system of equations. The algorithms were applied to a complex system of N particles interacting through a Lennard-Jones potential. The proposed symplectic methods for MD integration permit a wide range of time steps, are highly accurate and stable, and are thus suitable for the MD integration. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The convergence properties of the expansions of (a) the function 1/r and (b) the function exp(-αr) in an even-tempered basis of Gaussians are studied analytically. The starting points are the Gaussian integral representations of 1/r and exp(-αr). One arrives at an expansion in a finite number of Gaussians in three steps: (1) a restriction of the integration domain, (2) a variable transformation, and (3) discretization of the integral. The cutoff error goes in both cases essentially as exp(-ah), and the discretization error, as exp(-b/h). The minimum overall error is reached for the β-parameter of an even-tempered basis β ∽ exp(c/√n), where n is the dimension of the basis, and the error itself decreases as ∊ ∽ exp(-d√n). Different optimum basis parameters are obtained depending on which quantity one wants to minimize, e.g., the error of the energy expectation value, the distance in Hilbert space, the variance of the energy, or the density at the nucleus. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Quantum Chemistry can today boast the fact that ordinary chemists - by means of personal computers and programs available - can study many theoretical properties of molecules by solving the Schrödinger equation and get an advance idea of how to properly arrange their experiments to find new features. For small molecules, they can use ab initio programs of the Hartree-Fock type, and for large molecules, they can use semiempirical programs available. To achieve higher accuracy and to include electron correlation properly, however, one has in the ab initio approach to use configurational interaction methods and giant computers, whereas in the semiempirical methods, the effect of correlating is often taken into account in the adjustable parameters forming the basis for this approach. In connection with the ab initio methods, it is further emphasized that the resolvent methods combined with the partitioning technique provide an excellent conceptual and mathematical framework for getting solutions of any accuracy desired, but that most of the programming of this approach remains to be done. Ordinary wave mechanics is valid at absolute zero of temperature, and - in order to include such important chemical concepts as temperature, entropy, free energy, etc. - one has to go over to general quantum theory and the Liouvillian formalism. One can stil start from the Coulombic Hamiltonian, but it becomes of importance to include the nuclear motion properly and preferably on the same level as that of the electronic motion. It is further emphasized that the irreversibility problem is not yet fully solved, that the theory of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic fields still needs some improvements, and that the question of the proper introduction of relativistic corrections in the quantum theoretical treatment of molecular systems involving heavier atoms still has a great deal to desire. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A microscopic formulation of solution chemical reactions, taking reactants and medium structures into consideration, is presented on the basis of microscopic understandings obtained by recent quantum chemical methods (i.e., ab initio molecular orbital theory, etc.). Assuming thermal equilibrium of the medium bath, an effective internal Hamiltonian is derived, and, further, its derivative with respect to internal normal coordinates is proved explicitly to give the same force field as is provided by the free-energy surface or potential of mean force. The free-energy surface can be expressed in the composite normal coordinate system (CNCS) consisting of some normal coordinate systems of isolated reactants and surrounding solvent molecules (i.e., medium solvent molecules). In CNCS, in use of diagonal elements obtained in the Hessian matrix of the free-energy surface, effective normal-mode frequencies, which reflect the equilibrium solvent effect, are estimated. Furthermore, on the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) treatment, a closed expression of the time-dependent frictional coefficient is derived on a microscopic basis, reflecting the reactant and solvent structures. The nonequilibrium effect is estimated by an analytical expression similar to that in the Grote-Hynes theory. The rate constant is evaluated for a typical model system and it is shown that the equilibrium rate constants should be reduced by a factor 0.997. Finally, it is concluded that the present microscopic theory is reasonably applicable to the estimation of chemical reaction rate constants in solution. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A number of physical processes, such as autoionization, predissociation, ac- or dc-field-induced ionization, multiphoton dissociation, or chemical transformations, can be formulated as problems involving a nonstationary state satisfying a time-independent complex eigenvalue Schrödinger equation (CESE). The CESE gives rise to all the conceptual and practical difficulties associated with the polyelectronic structures of excited states, as well as novel ones due to the presence of external fields and to the physical significance of the continuous spectrum. In a series of articles from this institute, it has been shown how advanced electronic structure theory and methods suitable for excited states can be integrated in a practical way into selected elements of the rigorous theory of discrete states interacting with the continous spectrum in order to solve the CESE nonperturbatively and efficiently and compute properties such as positions and widths of inner hole or multiply excited states, multiphoton ionization rates, multichannel predissociation lifetimes, nonlinear static and frequency-dependent polarizabilities, and tunneling rates. The present article constitutes a review of the basic features of this theory and its computational methods. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
