    Notes: We describe a method for determining chemical kinetic constants and diffusion coefficients by measuring the rates of decay of spontaneous concentration fluctuations. The equilibrium of the system is not disturbed during the measurement. We measure the number of molecules of a specified type in a defined open volume as a function of time and compute the time course of the deviations from the thermodynamic mean concentration. The method is based on the principle that the rates of decay of spontaneous microscopic fluctuations are determined by the same phenomenological rate coefficients as those of macroscopic departures from equilibrium which result from external perturbations. Hence, an analysis of fluctuations yields the same chemical rate constants and diffusion coefficients as are measured by conventional procedures. In practice the number of the specified molecules is measured by a property such as absorbance or fluorescence which is specific and sensitive to chemical change. The sample volume is defined by a light beam which traverses the cell. As the molecules appear in or disappear from the light beam, either due to diffusion or chemical reaction, their concentration fluctuations give rise to corresponding fluctuations of the intensity of absorbed or emitted light. This paper presents the theory needed to derive chemical rate constants and diffusion coefficients from these fluctuations in light intensity. The theory is applied to three examples of general interest: pure diffusion in the absence of chemical reaction; the binding of a small rapidly diffusing ligand to a larger slowly diffusing macromolecule; and a unimolecular isomerization. The method should be especially useful in studying highly cooperative systems, relatively noncooperative systems with intermediate states closely spaced in free energy, small systems, and systems not readily subject to perturbations of state.

    Notes: The molecular conformations and dynamics of poly(L-prolyl), poly(hydroxyl-L-prolyl), poly(L-prolyl-glycyl), poly(hydroxyl-L-prolyl), and poly(glycyl-glycyl-L-prolyl-glycyl), in aqueous solution, have been studied using 13C pulse Fourier transform nmr spectroscopy. From a measurement of the intensities of major and minor resonances in the spectra of the copolypeptides, it was determined that 15-20% of the glycyl-prolyl and glycyl-hydroxyprolyl peptide bonds are cis. Effective rotational correlation times (τeff), obtained from measurements of spin-lattice relaxation times (T1) of individual backbone and side-chain carbons, demonstrated that backbone reorientation is approximately isotropic for the five polypeptides and is characterized by correlation times of ca. 0.3-0.6 nanoseconds as a result of rapid segmental motion. In a given polypeptide glycyl and pyrrolidine residues were found to have the same backbone correlation times, but backbone carbon τeff values did decrease as the glycyl content of the peptides increased. A semi-quantitative analysis of Cβ, Cγ, and Cδ correlation times suggests that rapid ring motion in both prolyl and hydroxyprolyl involves primarily Cγ and Cβ, with the prolyl ring being more mobile than the hydroxyprolyl ring.

    Notes: A model for the flexibility of DNA is proposed that is based on discrete variations in the direction of propagation in going from one subunit to the next. Expansion of the local free energy in terms of the local bending gives a Gaussian distribution function. The assumption of the independence of local bends on neighbors lead to very simple formulae for the persistence length and the characteristic ratio. Emphasis, however, is placed on the application of the formulae for molecules of finite size where the persistence length and C∞ are not defined. The formulae are worked out for two models, which should serve as limits for the real physical situation.

    Notes: If dispersion effects are not taken into account, the dimensions of particles in suspension estimated from spectrophotometric data (slope of the log OD versus log λ plot) are too low. By measuring dispersion curves for the medium and for the suspension, a consistent estimate of the size of latex particles of different diameter is obtained from the OD data.

    Notes: The helix-coil transition of poly-N5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine in methanol-water solutions has been observed using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. Two signals appear in the α-CH region in the course of the transition; this is in contrast with previous proton magnetic resonance experiments carried out on this polymer in the same solvent system.

    Notes: X-ray diffraction and stereochemical analyses were used to study the hydrated structure of the helical amylose polymorph having a fiber repeat spacing of 8 Å. Intensity calculations using computer models confirmed six as the number of residues per turn and supported the space group P212121. Both diffraction intensity and stereochemical methods indicate the suitability of residue G3 from the potassium acetate complex of cyclohexaamylose as opposed to residues with longer O(4)-O(1) vectors. Comparison of the present results with those obtained for V amylose dehydrate indicated no major conformational differences between the two helix skeletons. A net helical rotation of approximately 30° accompanied the hydrate-dehydrate transition and the rotational position in the hydrate allowed packing that was less close. Hydration water molecules were not located; noncarbohydrate peaks on the electron density maps were primarily due to Fourier series termination errors.

    Notes: We have measured the circular dichroism spectra and have obtained melting curves for samples of purified satellite DNA's from three species of crab, Cancer borealis, Gecarcinus lateralis, and Callinectes sapidus. Although all three satellite DNA's have the same density in neutral CsCl, their circular dichroism spectra and melting and reassociation characteristics are different, as are other properties of these DNA's. The circular dichroism spectra are analyzed to give estimates of nearest-neighbor frequencies. We estimate that about 90% of the Cancer borealis satellite DNA and over 80% of the Gecarcinus lateralis satellite DNA consist of d(AT)n:d(AT)n sequences, while the serially repeating unit of the Callinectes sapidus satellite DNA may not contain any extended d(AT)n:d(AT)n sequences. The results from the circular dichroism spectra for the Cancer borealis, Gecarcinus lateralis, and the Callinectes sapidus satellite DNA's are in agreement with base composition analyses, which give 2.4, 8, and 25% G+C, respectively, for these DNA's.

    Notes: Samples of epichlorohydrin crosslinked potato starch were prepared by using a high ratio of starch to water and alkali concentration below the gelatinization level. This yielded crosslinked samples that were partially crystalline, and where the number of crosslinks could be varied between 1 and 20 crosslinks per 100 anhydroglucose units. The degree of swelling varied regularly with degree of crosslinking, and the molecular weight between crosslinks Mc as derived from swelling data in a good swelling agent compared favorably with Mc derived from chemical analysis.From the heat of gelatinization of the crosslinked starches, as observed in a differential scanning calorimeter, for gelatinization in glycerol, water, and dimethylsulfoxide, a model for the gel state of the crosslinked starch is proposed. It is concluded that the entropy of melting is the determining factor in establishing the temperature of gelatinization.

    Notes: Circular dichroism studies of the interaction of β-cyclodextrin with a series of eight dinucleoside phosphates, and with 3′-AMP are reported. From results with ApU and ApA, it is shown that β-cyclodextrin binding is sensitive to dinucleoside stacking in approximately the same way as optical measures of stacking. Some qualitative uses of β-cyclodextrin binding are suggested, based on the fact that the change in the CD spectrum caused by cyclodextrin binding is unique to each of the dinucleosides studied. Hoffman and Bock have previously suggested the use of β-cyclodextrin as a probe of nucleic acid structure. Their work indicated that only binding to adenosine and inosine would have to be considered. The present paper shows that binding to other bases cannot be neglected, and will impose serious restrictions on the use of β-cyclodextrin as a structural probe.

    Notes: Poly(1,N6-etheno-2-aza-adenylic acid) [poly(2-aza-εA)] was synthesized from 1,N6-etheno-2-aza-adenosine 5′-diphosphate (2-aza-εADP) and Escherichia coli polynucleotide phosphorylase. The values Km = 1.02 mM, V = 1.06 μmol hr-1 enzyme unit-1 were found for the polymerization reaction. In contrast to polyadenylic acid, this novel fluorescent polymer has a random structure in solution. The application of the 2-aza-εADP for localization of polynucleotide phosphorylase was also described.

    Notes: A series of L-methionine oligomers [BOC-(Met)n-OMe] (n = 2-7) and the corresponding diastereomeric di- and tripeptides were synthesized using the mixed anhydride method. Oligomers prepared in this manner were optically pure and were obtained in reasonable yield. Preliminary optical examination of the peptides suggests that secondary structures may begin forming in the pentamer or hexamer in trifluoroethanol. BOC-(Met)4-OMe and BOC-(Met)5-OMe were also synthesized using an insoluble resin containing BOC-L-methionine as the nitrophenol active ester.

    Notes: Conformational studies of a series of oligopeptides (from the tripeptide to the octadecapeptide) with the repeating sequence L-norvalyl-glycyl-L-proline and a polytripeptide with this sequence are reported. By means of chiroptical techniques, unordered conformations are found for all oligopeptides in water, trifluoroethanol, and ethylene glycol and for the water-insoluble polymer in trifluoroethanol. In ethylene glycol the polymer assumes a collagen-like structure. Infrared studies indicate that all the oligomers, in contrast to the polymer, are unordered in the solid state.

    Notes: Uncharged poly(Nε-methyl-L-lysine) (PMLL) and its isomer, poly(Nδ-ethyl-L-ornithine) (PELO), in alkaline solution (pH ca. 12) undergo a helix-to-β transition upon mild heating at 50°C or higher in a manner similar to that of poly(L-lysine) (PLL). The rate of conversion follows the order: PMLL 〈 PELO 〈 PLL. The helix can be regenerated upon cooling near zero degrees, for instance, after more than 12 hr at 2°C. At concentrations less than 0.02% the β form is intramolecular, but at higher concentrations both intra- and intermolecular β forms are generated. Poly(Nδ-methyl-L-ornithine) (PMLO), an isomer of PLL, behaves like poly(L-ornithine); uncharged PMLO in alkaline solution is partially helical and becomes disordered at elevated temperatures.

    Notes: In order to study the effect of side-chain length on the conformation of polypeptides, conformational changes of various ionic polypeptides with various lengths of side chain, poly-Nε-glutaryl-L-lysine (PGL), poly-Nδ-glutaryl-L-ornithine (PGO), poly-Nε-succinyl-L-lysine (PSL), and poly-Nδ-succinyl-L-ornithine (PGO), were investigated by ORD, potentiometric titration, and dilatometric measurements in aqueous solution. The results of optical rotation and potentiometric titration measurements indicate strongly that the α-helix stability increases in the sequence PSO 〈 PSL ∼ PGO 〈 PGL, which corresponds to increased side-chain length. The volume change associated with the helix-coil transition also increased in the above sequence. This series of polymers seems to be more hydrophobic compared with poly-L-glutamic acid or poly-L-lysine, as suggested from the values of enthalpy and entropy changes for coil-helix transitions.

    Notes: The conformational changes of poly-Nε-glutaryl-L-lysine (PGL) and poly-Nε-succinyl-L-lysine (PSL) in various salt solutions were studied by use of ORD and potentiometric titration measurements. The addition of alkali metal salts to the fully ionized PGL or PSL solution caused helix formation. The helical content of the polymers increases in the following sequences: at salt concentration 0-2 M, CsCl 〈 KCl 〈 LiCl 〈 NaCl; and at 2-3 M, LiCl 〈 CsCl 〈 KCl ∼ NaCl. The preferential binding of the solvent components with various alkali metal salts of PGL or PSL was measured in LiCl, NaCl, and KCl solutions by means of equilibrium dialysis and differential refractometry. It was found that with increasing salt concentration, the polymers were preferentially hydrated in NaCl and KCl soultions; however the salt was preferentially bound to the polymers in LiCl solution. Such preferential binding was suggested to be closely related to conformational change. The addition of CaCl2 to polymer solutions led to the stabilization of the helical structure of PGL or PSL.

    Notes: Refractive indices of bovine serum albumin solutions in saline and in 2-chloro ethanol are measured for the spectral region 1770-10000 Å by a reflectance method. A procedure for the determination of a dispersion formula for binary mixtures is developed and applied. The electronic polarizability of bovine serum albumin is determined and is found to be almost independent of the solvent and concentration. Hence it follows that the electronic polarizability of bovine serum albumin is almost independent of the molecular environment.

    Notes: The dielectric absorption of poly-DL-phenylalanine and poly-γ-benzyl-L-aspartate (PLAB) was measured in very dilute solutions to determine the type of molecular association and to locate the helix-coil transition. Both polypeptides were present as associated helices in chloroform. The mode of aggregation, which was determined by measuring the dipole moment and the critical frequency, did not depend on the polarity of the side chain but rather on that of the solvent.In both polymers, the dissociation of the aggregates in chloroform was observed on addition of small amounts of dichloroacetic acid; further addition of the acid lead to the helix-coil transition.No second region of dielectric absorption that might be related to the kinetics of the transition was found during the helix-coil transition of PBLA.

    Notes: Molecular conformation of some polysaccharides in aqueous solution in evidenced by changes in the optical rotation and in the elution pattern of gel filtration. The changes in the specific rotation against that in water are expressed as a molar conformational value [K]D21: -495° for colominic acid in 1.0 N NaOH solution, and -180° for hyaluronate (HA), +85° for corneal keratin sulfate, and +234° for amylose in 8 M urea solution. The gel filtration of amylose and HA dissolved in 8 M urea solution shows elution patterns distinctly different from those dissolved in water. The phenomena are attributable to a molecular conformational transition of polysaccharide molecules in aqueous solution.

    Notes: A previously described procedure for simultaneous optimization of bond lengths and angles was used to test different models for mannan I. Potential hydrogen bonds and the glycosidic angle were included in the optimization. A conformational model with bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the type observed in the methyl cellobioside methanol complex showed the best agreement with available exprerimental data. The coordinates of this model were provided by computer calculations. The available X-ray data, however, were not sufficient for selecting this model; rather, ir data were necessary to furnish the needed information. The different conformational models tested all showed an almost constant virtual bond length O(1)-O(4) of the β-pyranose residue. This was in contrast to the previously obtained results for the α-pyranose residues.

    Notes: The longitudinal proton magnetic relaxation times T1 were measured for ferri (met)-and carbonmonoxy-bovine haemoglobin and equine myoglobin in 0.1 M KH2PO4 aqueous solutions near pH 6 at 5°C and 35°C from 1.5- to 60-MHz Larmor frequencies. It is concluded that the correlation time τC for the dipole-dipole interaction of electron and nuclear spins is in fact the electron (ferric) spin relaxation time τS being close to 1.5 × 10-10 sec for both metHb and metMb at 5°C. At 35°C the paramagnetic relaxation rates are not determined solely by the relaxation of protons exchanging from the haem pocket with bulk solvent. Hence, τC at 35°C cannot be calculated from the dispersion data obtained at this temperature. The relevance of this for the determination of interspin distances r is discussed.

    Notes: The orientation of naphthalene rings in the side chain of poly-γ-1-naphthylmethyl-L-glutamate (PNLG) in mixed solvents of dichoroethane (DCE) and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) has been studied together with its conformation by infrared, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectra. The CD pattern of PNLG varies with the solvent composition while it maintains the α-helical conformation. The fluorescence spectra of PNLG in solution show excimer emission of the naphthalene chromophores. The ratio of intensity of the excimer emission to that of the normal fluorescence decreases as the HFIP component in the solvent increases. It is suggested that the naphthalene rings in the side chain of α-helical PNLG are more rigidly orientated in the solvents of higher HFIP ratio.

    Notes: The near ultraviolet chiroptical properties of L-cystine conformational isomers are examined on a static, “one-electron” model in which the disulfide moiety is the chromophoric group and the atoms of the L-alanyl fragments are treated as perturbers. The zeroth order chromophoric wave functions are calculated on a semiempirical molecular orbital model in which excited states are constructed in the virtual orbital-configuration interaction approximation. The perturbing environment is represented by point charges located at the atomic centers of the L-alanyl fragments. Chromophore-perturber interactions are expressed as charge-multipole moments with only the charge-dipole and charged-quadrupole terms being retained in the calculations. Vicinal contributions to the rotatory strengths of the five lowest energy disulfide transitions are computed for 30 conformational isomers of the L-cystine dizwitterion. The results provide support for the view that vicinal or peripheral effects can account entirely for the observed near ultraviolet (λ 〉 230 nm) chiroptical properties of L-cystine and its derivatives and that these properties are diagnostic of conformational features external to the disulfide moiety.

    Notes: The circular dichroic spectrum of poly(Tyr,TyrBr) in trimethylphosphate from 180 to 320 nm is found to be a linear function of composition from 25 to 68% TyrBr, and the spectra of the Tyr and TyrBr components are resolved. For Tyr the resolved spectrum is in agreement with available CD spectra of poly(Tyr). These results are interpreted to mean that the side-chain conformations of Tyr and TyrBr are not affected by the other component, and that for Tyr the conformation is the same as in poly(Tyr). It is also concluded that poly(Tyr,TyrBr) is helical with the same helix sense as poly(Tyr). The restrictions on the side-chain conformations are discussed, and it is suggested that the Tyr and TyrBr side chains are all in the same χ1 region.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids was calculated as a function of geometry using the theory of Tinoco and Johnson. This theory does not include contributions of near ultraviolet transitions that are not π → π* in nature. The calculated circular dichroism shows a strong dependence on the distance of base pairs from the helix axis and the tilt of the base pair. Smaller dependences are predicted for the propeller-like twist of a base pair and for variation of the angular increment per base pair. Moderately good agreement between calculated and many experimentally observed spectra could be generated.

    Notes: The maximum at 220 nm in the circular dichroism spectrum of native collagen solution changed to a negative value after heat denaturation or collagenase hydrolysis. The enzyme induced rate of CD change at 220 nm was shown to be first order in collagen concentration. The specific rate constant k is actually a combined rate constant kfast and kslow in which the ratio kf/ks is 4.1. The initial rates were linear with respect to enzyme concentration, and the Km was found to be 5.5 × 10-7 M. The rate of ultraviolet hyperchromicity at 220 nm on collagen hydrolysis was determined. The kfast was the same as that obtained by CD. The kf/ks ratio was 4.6. Both methods may be readily used to assay for collagenase activity.

    Notes: The crystal and molecular structure of the complex of amylose with dimethyl sulfoxide has been studied by a combination of stereochemical analysis, potential energy, and X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in a pseudotetragonal unit cell with a = b = 19.17 Å and c (fiber axis) = 24.39 Å, with two antiparallel chains per unit cell and space group P212121. The amylose chain is a left-handed 61(1.355) helix with three turns per crystallographic repeat. The O(6) rotational position is approximately gt. Dimethyl sulfoxide is located inside the helix with one DMSO molecule for every three glucose residues. An additional four DMSO molecules and eight water molecules each are located in the large interstices between chains, and it is the interaction of these molecules with the helix that results in the pseudotetragonal chain packing. The interstitial DMSO is the source of the previously reported additional layer lines, which are not consistent with the 8.13-Å amylose repeat distance. The final R factor for the layers with amylose contribution to the structure factors was 0.29, while the overall R factor was 0.35. The stereochemical packing analysis provided suitable phasing models for the subsequent X-ray refinement.

    Notes: Dielectric dispersion of DNA was studied in the frequency range 100 Hz-100 kHz at four different temperatures (6-30°C). The dielectric increment ε0-ε∞ increased with the rise of temperature. The relaxation time, on the other hand, decreased. Both the increase in dielectric increment and the decrease in relaxation time could not be explained on the basis of the counterion polarization theory. Dipole moment was estimated from Kirkwood theory. It was found to decrease systematically with temperature. Even at 0°C there was a dipole moment of 104D.

    Notes: Five human hemoglobins whose genetic relationship to one another involves one set of alleles, hemoglobins CC, SC, SS, AS, and AA, were studied in the deoxygenated form within a McBain gravimetric sorption system at 28°C. Water was used as the adsorbate at relative vapor pressures ranging from 0.11 to 0.39. The results of this study are reported and compared with a similar study on the ferric form of these same five hemoglobins. For both forms of hemoglobin studied, a slight increase was measured in the number of polar sites accessible to H2O vapor for those genotypes in which the substituent in the sixth position from the N terminus of the two β chains had a positively charged side chain, i.e., hemoglobin C. Those samples containing hemoglobin S (less soluble in the deoxy form) show an increased BET monolayer coverage in the deoxy as compared to the ferric form. For each genotype, the deoxygenated form had more polar sites accessible to H2O vapor than its ferric form. This finding is in agreement with an increase in the size of the central cavity as shown by crystallographic analysis.

    Notes: Thermal denaturation of direct-mixed and reconstituted polylysine-DNA complexes in 2.5 × 10-4 M EDTA, pH 8.0 and various concentrations of NaCl has been studied. For both complexes, increasing ionic strength of the solution raises Tm, the melting temperature of free base pairs. The linear dependence of Tm on log Na+ indicates that the concept of electrostatic shielding on phosphate lattice of an infinitely long pure DNA by Na+ can be applied to short free DNA segments in a nucleoprotein. For a direct-mixed polylysine-DNA complex, the melting temperature of bound base pairs Tm′ remains constant at various ionic strengths. On the other hand, the Tm′ in a reconstituted polylysine-DNA complex is shifted to lower temperature at higher ionic strength. This phenomenon occurs for reconstituted complex with long polylysine of one thousand residues or short polylysine of one hundred residues. It is shown that such a decrease of Tm′ is not due to a reduction of coupling melting between free and bound regions in a complex when the ionic strength is raised. It is also not due to intermolecular or intramolecular change from a reconstituted to a direct-mixed complex. It is suggested that this phenomenon is due to structural change on polylysine-bound regions by ionic strength. It is suggested further that Na+ may replace water molecules and bind polylysine-bound regions in a reconstituted complex. Such a dehydration effect destabilizes these regions and lowers Tm′. This explanation is supported by circular dichroism (CD) results.

    Notes: Theoretical values are reported for the specific conductivity, charge carrier mobilities, and delocalized free paths in β-polyglycine using the parallel-chain pleated sheet conformation and the all-valence electron energy band structure obtained previously. The mobilities are found to be much larger along the polypeptide backbones than in the direction of the hydrogen bonds. This indicates a mechanism of conduction in which the former path is favored for electronic delocalization. The preexponential factor of the specific conductivity obtained theoretically agrees well with experimental results.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of a series of L-methionine oligopeptides [BOC-(Met)n-OMe] was examined in trifluoroethanol and hexafluoroacetone sesquihydrate. The results indicate that the trimer through the hexamer exists predominantly in disordered conformations in these solvents. An abrupt change in the CD pattern at the heptamer in trifluoroethanol suggests that L-methionine oligopeptides begin forming helices at this chain length.

    Notes: The spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) of water adsorbed on collagen fibers was determined at six frequencies and temperatures varying from 25° to -80°C. Care was taken to eliminate the contributions to the signal of protons other than those in the adsorbed water. Quantitative calculations were made on T1 and the results were compared with the experimental data. It is suggested that a maximum of about 0.50-0.55 g water per g collagen forms a hydration layer, which cannot be frozen down to -90°C and exhibits a distribution of motional correlation times. For collagen samples containing a larger quantity of adsorbed water, the additional water molecules behave like ordinary isotropic water, having a single correlation time and a freezing temperature of about -10°C.

    Notes: Laser Raman spectra of the trinucleoside diphoshate ApApA and dinucleoside phosphates ApU, UpA, GpC, CpG, and GpU are reported and discussed. Assignments of conformationally sensitive frequencies are-facilitated by comparison with spectra reported here of poly(rA), poly(rC), and poly(rU) in deuterium oxide solutions. The significant spectral differences between ApU and UpA, and between GpC and CpG, reveal that the sequence isomers have nonidentical conformations in aqueous solution. In UpA at low temperature the bases are stacked and the backbone conformation is similar to that found in ordered polynucleotide structures and RNA. In ApU no base stacking can be detected and the backbone conformation differs from that found in UpA, both in the orientation of phosphodiester linkages and in the internal conformation of ribose. At the conditions employed neither ApU nor UpA exhibits base pairing in aqueous solutions. In both GpC and CpG the bases are stacked and the phosphodiester conformations are similar to those encountered for UpA and RNA. However, major differences between spectra of GpC and CpG indicate that the geometries of stacking and ribosyl conformations are different. In GpC the Raman data favor the formation of hydrogen bonded dimers containing GC pairs. Protonation of C in GpC is sufficient to eliminate the ordered conformation detected by Raman spectroscopy. Despite the ordered backbone conformation evident in GpU, this dinucleoside apparently contains neither stacked nor hydrogen bonded bases at the conditions employed here. The Raman data also confirm the stacking interactions in ApApA, poly(rA), and poly(rC) but suggest that the backbone conformation in poly(rC) differs qualitatively from that found in most ordered polynucleotide structures and is thermally more stable. The present results demonstrate the sensitivity of the Raman technique to sequence-related structural differences in oligonucleotides and provide additional spectra-structure correlations for future conformational studies of RNA by laser Raman spectroscopy.

    Notes: The 300-MHz proton nmr spectra (between 11 and 14 ppm) of a series of double-stranded deoxy oligonucleotides of known sequence have been recorded in H2O solution. These resonances have been assigned to the G—N1H and T—N3H protons of specific base pairs from an evaluation of the temperature dependence of the ring NH linewidths and from the selective ring NH chemical shift changes on actinomycin-D binding. The deoxy oligonucleotides exist predominantly in the DNA-B conformation as evaluated from antibiotic binding studies. Ring-current calculations have been utilized to evaluate the up-field shifts of the G—N1H and T—N3H protons in Watson-Crick base pairs due to the ring currents from the pyrimidine and purine rings of nearest neighbor base pairs in regular DNA-B- and RNA-A-type helices. The perturbations on these up-field ring-current contributions that arise from twisting and tilting a base pair adjacent to the ring NH under study have been evaluated and found to change the calculated chemical shift by ±0.6 ppm for twist and tilt distortions of 〈30°C in a single adjacent base pair. A knowledge of the experimentally assigned ring NH chemical shifts of specific base pairs in known sequences of double-stranded deoxy oligonucleotides coupled with the ring-current tables for the DNA-B helical structure permit the assignment of 13.6 ± 0.1 ppm and 14.6 ± 0.2 ppm for the G—N1H proton of an isolated GC base pair and the T—N3H proton of an isolated AT base pair, respectively.

    Notes: This paper describes the first experimental application of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, a new method for determining chemical kinetic constants and diffusion coefficients. These quantities are measured by observing the time behaviour of the tiny concentration fluctuations which occur spontaneously in the reaction system even when it is in equilibrium. The equilibrium of the system is not disturbed during the experiment. The diffusion coefficients and chemical rate constants which determine the average time behaviour of these spontaneous fluctuations are the same as those sought by more conventional methods including temperature-jump or other perturbation techniques. The experiment consists essentially in measuring the variation with time of the number of molecules of specified reactants in a defined open volume of solution. The concentration of a reactant is measured by its fluorescence; the sample volume is defined by a focused laser beam which excites the fluorescence. The fluorescent emission fluctuates in proportion with the changes in the number of fluorescent molecules as they diffuse into and out of the sample volume and as they are created or eliminated by the chemical reactions. The number of these reactant molecules must be small to permit detection of the concentration fluctuations. Hence the sample volume is small (10-8 ml) and the concentration of the solutes is low (∼ 10-9 M). We have applied this technique to the study of two prototype systems: the simple example of pure diffusion of a single fluorescent species, rhodamine 6G, and the more interesting but more challenging example of the reaction of macromolecular DNA with the drug ethidium bromide to form a fluorescent complex. The increase of the fluorescence of the ethidium bromide upon formation of the complex permits the observation of the decay of concentration fluctuations via the chemical reaction and consequently the determination of chemical rate constants.

    Notes: The D and L copolymerizations of N-carboxy γ-benzyl glutamate anhydride (NCA) were carried out in a homogeneous solution with various D/L ratios, initiated by either n-butylamine or sodium methoxide, and were followed directly by circular dichroism (CD) to observe the behavior of the secondary structure of growing polymer molecules. In the n-butylamine system, the difference of the helical content between the righthanded and the lefthanded (Δα-helix) gradually increased as the polymerization proceeded, while in the sodium methoxide system, the Δα-helix had a tendency to decrease during the later stages of the polymerization. These results suggest a difference of the power of stereo-selection of monomer antipodes by the growing chain end between these systems, the stereoselectivity by the growing chain end in the sodium methoxide system being higher than that in the n-butylamine system.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of Ac-Ala-NHMe, cyclo(-Ala-Ala-), Ac-Ala-OMe, Ac-Ala-Ala-OMe, and Ac-Ala-Ala-Ala-OMe has been measured in water and in aqueous salt solutions as a function of temperature. Only cyclo(-Ala-Ala-) exhibits circular dichroism which is independent of temperature. Each of the linear derivatives of L-alanine exhibits a positive circular dichroism in the range 208-218 nm at 15°C in water. Heating reduces the intensity of the positive circular dichroism, and only Ac-Ala-OMe retains positive circular dichroism at 75°C in water. Isothermal addition of salts produces changes in the circular dichroism of linear derivatives of L-alanine which resemble those seen on heating. The relative effectiveness of the salts tested, at a concentration of 4M, is LiCl ≤ KCl = NaCl 〈 MgCl2 ≤ CaCl2 ≤ NaClO4. The circular dichroism of cyclo(-Ala-Ala-) is also affected by the salts. Extrapolation of the results obtained with Ac-Ala-OMe, Ac-Ala-Ala-OMe, and Ac-Ala-Ala-Ala-OMe to a long polypeptide with a -CH2R side chain in the L-configuration leads to the conclusion that this polypeptide should exhibit a temperature-dependent salt-sensitive positive circular dichroism between 208 and 218 nm when it exists as a statstical coil.

    Notes: The heats of the conformational conversion ΔHc of polyuridylic acid (polyU) in the presence of various cations were determined using a differential scanning microcalorimeter and an isothermal mixing calorimeter. The first method yields a value of ΔHc = 5.2 kcal/mol of base pairs, the second one a value of ΔHc = 6.4 kcal/mol of base pairs. Knowing ΔHc and the maximal slope of the degree of conversion, which was determined from the temperature dependence of the absorbance of polyU solutions at 260 nm, we were able to evaluate the parameter of cooperativity σ. From the relation σ = eΔFstack/RT the stacking free energy ΔFstack could be calculated. Dividing the apparent enthalpy of conversion by the calorimetrically measured enthalpy yields the cooperative length N0 of one helical segment at the midpoint of conversion. The results show that the type of the cation has no influence on the magnitude of ΔHc, whereas the cooperativity of polyU is influenced by the various cations.

    Notes: Clipped autocorrelation functions for the fluctuating intensity of light scattered from dilute solutions of poly-L-lysine in 0.2 M NaBr have been observed over a wide range of time scales down to 1.83 μsec, and over a wide range of pH. Two poly-L-lysine samples of molecular weight 35,000 and 200,000, respectively, were compared to determine the extent of draining of the so-called random-coil configuration. The observed correlation functions were in general very satisfactorily represented by simple translation diffusion of single molecules. At high pH ∼10-10.4, there was evidence of considerable aggregation, but no indication whatsoever of any unusually fast component, as reported recently by Jamieson et al. for poly-L-lysine HBr in the absence of salt.A 30% rise in the diffusion coefficient to a peak at pH 10 parallels the previously reported dip in the intrinsic viscosity, and is interpreted in terms of a more compact structure in that pH region between the coil and helix extremes.

    Notes: The conformation of deoxyribonucleoprotein (DNP) from calf thymus at different stages of deproteinization was studied.The dissociation of the first portion of histone produces no effect on the hydrodynamical and optical behavior of DNP particles. The conformational transition of a macromolecule was observed as soon as the ratio of protein to DNA ≤ 0.9.The effect of ionic strength on the conformation of DNP particles with high protein content was more strongly pronounced than that for DNA. On the contrary, DNP particles depleted of proteins (protein/DNA 〈 0.9) were found to be less sensitive than DNA to the variation of ionic strength. These data imply that the DNP molecules rich in proteins possess a superstructure that is destroyed as the protein/DNA ratio becomes 0.9.The data were analyzed in view of current theories on various model concepts. The most probable model to describe the DNP molecule was chosen by comparing the calculated and experimentally obtained parameters. We believe that DNP is best described as a “compressed coil,” possibly including superhelical regions.

    Notes: Double-stranded DNA can be readily adsorbed on mica or directly on carbon coated grids from the surface of solutions containing ethidium bromide, actinomine, or propidium diiodide. The DNA molecules are unfolded, well separated, and show a length distribution similar to molecules prepared by protein monolayer techniques.Since the intercalating dyes tested do not lead to an increased apparent diameter of the nucleic acid the method is useful for the study of nucleic acid-protein complexes. As a model, the binding of E. coli RNA polymerase to phage T7 and T3 DNA was examined under different conditions. The enzyme can easily be identified and its position along the DNA molecule can be mapped.

    Notes: The synthesis and characterization of a series of oligopeptides (from the tripeptide to the octadecapeptide) with the repeating sequence L-norvalyl-glycyl-L-proline and a polytripeptide with this sequence are reported. The oligomers were synthesized step by step using the mixed anhydride method. All the products were chemically and optically pure. The polymer was prepared by the active ester method, using the p-nitrophenyl ester as the polymerizable tripeptide derivative. Good yield of relatively high average molecular-weight polymer was obtained. In the accompanying paper conformational investigations, both in solution and in the solid state, on the oligomers and the polymer are described.

    Notes: Poly(Nδ-carbobenzoxy, Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine) (PCBLO) was prepared by the standard NCA method. PCBLO was converted into poly(Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine) (PBLO) through decarbobenzoxylation with hydrogen bromide. The monomer Nδ-benzyl-L-ornithine was synthesized by reacting L-ornithine with benzaldehyde, followed by hydrogenation. The conformation of the two polypeptides was studied by optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism. PCBLO forms a right-handed helix in helix-promoting solvents. In mixed solvents of chloroform and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) it undergoes a sharp helix-coil transition at 12% (v/v) DCA at 25°C, as compared with 36% for poly(Nδ-carbobenzoxy-L-ornithine) (PCLO). Like PCLO, the helix-coil transition is “inverse,” that is, high temperature favors the helical form. PBLO is soluble in water at pH below 7 and has a “coiled” conformation. In 88% (v/v) 1-propanol above pH (apparent) 9.6 it is completely helical. In 50% 1-propanol the transition pH (apparent) is about 7.4; this compares with a pHtr of about 10 for poly-L-ornithine in the same solvent.

    Notes: The binding of ethidium bromide to DNA has been studied by various optical methods. From fluorescence polarization studies, and film, electric linear dichroism, and circular dichroism spectra, we propose assignments of the absorption bands of the dye, which are discussed in connection with wave-mechanical calculations recently reported.The optical activity induced in the dye absorption bands upon binding to DNA was attributed to various origins depending on the electronic transition considered. The visible absorption band displayed a circular dichroism due to the asymmetry of the binding site and independent of the amount of binding. The transition identified at 378 nm from the circular dichroism and electric dichroism observations was thought to be due to a magnetic-dipole transition. It remained constant with increasing amounts of dye bound. The main ultraviolet band showed circular dichroism characteristics corresponding to exciton interactions between dye molecules bound to neighboring sites.The electric dichroism observed for the strongly bound dye molecules indicated that the phenanthridinium ring of ethidium bromide was probably not perfectly parallel to the DNA base planes. When the amount of dye bound to DNA exceeded the maximum amount compatible with the exclusion of adjacent binding sites, the electric dichroism decreased owing to the appearance of externally bound dye molecules with no contribution to the dichroism.Sonicated DNA was used to study the lengthening of the DNA molecule upon complexation. Although the viscosity of the complexes increased with the amount of binding, the rotational diffusion coefficient measured by the electric birefringence relaxation was not detectably affected. The absence of variation in the electric birefringence with the binding indicated that the DNA base stacking remained unaltered.

    Notes: In the polymerization of phenylalanine N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) using poly(N-methyl-L-or DL-alanine) diethylamide as initiator, the polymerization rate was L-NCA ≃ D-NCA 〉 DL-NCA. This is a new type of selective polymerization and indicates the incompleteness of earlier investigations to study the asymmetrically selective polymerization without D-NCA. Neither secondary structure nor optical activity of the polymeric initiator is a reason for the selectivity. Hence the cause for the selectivity was sought in the properties of the NCA's in solution. However, the selectivity was not observed in the polymerization initiated by poly(L-phenylalanine) dimethylamide. The importance of the initiator being a secondary amine type was suggested. The experimental results are discussed on the basis of these considerations.

    Notes: Classical potential energy calculations were performed for the dinucleoside phosphates UpA and GpC. Two widely accessible low-energy regions of conformation space were found for the ω′, ω pair. That of lowest energy contains conformations similar to helical RNA, with ω′ and ω in the vicinity of 300° and 280°, respectively. All five experimental observations of crystalline GpC, two of ApU, and the helical fragment of ApApA fall in this range. The second lowest region has ω′ and ω at about 20° and 80°, respectively, which is in the general region of one experimentally observed crystalline conformer of UpA, and the nonhelical region of ApApA.It is concluded that GpC and ApU, which were crystallized as either sodium or calcium salts, are shielded from each other in the crystal by the water of hydration and are therefore free to adopt their predicted in vacuo minimum energy helical conformations. By contrast, crystalline UpA had only 1/2 water per molecule, and was forced into higher energy conformations in order to maximize intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

    Notes: Dielectric dispersion measurements on poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate (PBLG) in dioxane and dioxane-dichloroacetic acid (DCA) mixtures in the frequency range 200 Hz-2 MHz were made in order to study the structure of molecular aggregates. The structure of aggregates is explained on the basis of the variation of dipole moment and relaxation time with degree of aggregation. PBLG was found to form linear head-to-tail-type aggregates in dioxane. These aggregates gradually reduce in size without loosing their α-helical structure during the process of disaggregation obtained by either adding DCA to the solution in dioxane or by heating. It was confirmed that the addition of 30 wt % DCA completely destroys the aggregation of PBLG in dioxane at 30°C. Thermal disaggregation, however, was not complete even at a temperature approaching the boiling point of the solvent.A reaction scheme for aggregation is proposed and equilibrium constants are calculated at various stages of aggregation. The enthalpy of aggregate formation is found to be -3 kcal/mol. Results of optical rotatory dispersion measurements of the helix-coil transition in this system are also presented.

    Notes: The Zimm-Bragg parameters s and σ were determined for poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) in m-cresol and in dimethylformamide (DMF) from ORD data as a function of molecular weight. It was found that, within the temperature range between 10 and 55°C and on the average, s = 1.61 ± 0.1 and √σ = 0.04 ± 0.01 in m-cresol and s = 1.65 ± 0.05 and √σ = 0.045 ± 0.015 in DMF. The values of s in m-cresol decreased with increasing temperature, while the values of σ in the same solvent increased. This result for s suggests that PBLG in m-cresol will undergo a thermal helix-coil transition of normal type. The parameters in DMF showed no appreciable trend to vary with temperature. Aside from the difference between the two solvents, our results are consistent with existing data for various conformation-dependent properties such as light-scattering radius, intrinsic viscosity, and dipole moment, each indicating that the polypeptide chain has some flexibility in helicogenic solvents.

    Notes: The circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids was calculated as a function of geometry, including terms involving n → π* transitions. The “nonbonding” n or σ orbitals were of the azine type, delocalized, but concentrated at the nitrogen atoms of the purines and pyrimidines. Dynamic coupling of the magnetic moments of the n → π* transitions with the electric moments of π → π* transitions generated important terms. Mixing of electric dipole character into n → π* transitions by the static electric field perturbation of the molecule is of lesser importance. The largest contributions of n → π* transitions to the circular dichroism of double-helical nucleic acids are comparable in magnitude to the sum of π → π* terms only for geometries where the circular dichroism is weak. Using both n → π* and π → π* contributions one is able to match experimental and calculated circular dichroism spectra for DNA's over a much wider range of conditions than was possible previously.

    Notes: Laser Raman spectra are reported for solid films cast from a series of solutions containing mixtures of right- and left-handed α-helices of poly-γ-benzyl-L- and D-glutamate. Procedures were established for producing spectra that were reproducible in position to ±0.3 cm-1 and in relative intensity to a few percent for features of interest. Spectra for the pure L and pure D polymers were identical, as expected. Several small but definite spectral changes appear in the mixtures, reaching a maximum for the racemic 50:50 mixture. The changes are a shift of -1.4 cm-1 in the amide I peak at 1650.5 cm-1; a shift of about -5 cm-1 in the partially resolved amide III peak at 1291 cm-1; a shift of +2.5 cm-1 in the benzyl peak at 3062.5 cm-1; changes in relative intensity of as much as 50% in several regions; and the marked enhancement of several peaks, particularly that at 254 cm-1. These changes are discussed in terms of side-chain interactions in the packing of right- and left-handed helices.

    Notes: Self-diffusion coefficient measurements have been applied to the study of Na+, Ca++, and Sr++ in the presence of a linear acidic polysaccharide extracted from cartilage, i.e., chondroitin sulfate. A series of experimental determinations was made with and without supporting electrolytes, and an analysis of experiments involving the separation of the electrostatic interaction terms by an extension of Manning's theory produced results showing the preponderant nature of these electrostatic terms. The specificity of each type of ion or the influence of the pH can be considered merely as higher order corrections with respect to the preceding interactions. Counterion concentration ranges and pH ranges were determined, where either the alkaline-earth counterions become free and hence move with their normal diffusion rate, or these cations are associated with the polyelectrolyte molecule, thus giving a diffusion coefficient similar to that of the macromolecule, or the apparent diffusion coefficients vary between these two extreme diffusion rates as a function of the association equilibria. This variation can be expressed as a function of the linear charge density parameter ξ related to the structure of the polyelectrolyte, the value of which was determined and found in good agreement with published values.

    Notes: The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of polyproline II (PPII) has heretofore been moderately well calculated from exciton theory only at the expense of assuming unreasonable chain conformations and accepting a conservative spectrum in the 180-250-nm region (which is not observed). We have incorporated far uv transitions in the polarizability approximation and, together with the π2π* transition, have calculated the resulting correction to the exciton model. This has been accompanied by a modified assignment of the ππ* transition in PPII, and a simultaneous calculation of the absorption and CD spectra of the α-helix, β structure, PPI, and PPII. We obtain good agreement with the observed CD spectrum of PPII in the 180-250-nm region for acceptable chain conformations. In addition, we predict a negative CD into the far uv, in agreement with recent experimental observations. Our calculations also reproduce features of the far uv CD spectrum of the α-helix, and are in agreement with the CD spectra of the β chain and PPI. The calculated CD of the unordered polypeptide chain is not significantly influenced by far uv contributions, indicating that our previous calculation is valid for such a system. These results demonstrate the importance of incorporating far uv transitions in order to achieve an adequate theoretical explanation of the CD spectra of polypeptides.

    Notes: The intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight of several samples of polyhydroxyethylaspartamide with differing degrees of polymerization were determined and related, according to the Mark-Howink equation. The a exponent is consistent with a random-coil structure. The average unperturbed dimensions of the polymer, the dimensions in water, and the water-polymer interaction parameter were calculated according to Flory and Fox. The interaction of the polymer with water may explain its good efficacy as a plasma expander, as has previously been demonstrated in biological experiments. The behavior of the molecule in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride solution was also studied: this solvent has a very slight effect on the configuration of the polymer, in contrast with its normal effect on proteins.

    Notes: The kinetic parameters associated with the thermal decomposition of native collagen have been obtained by thermogravimetric techniques. In order to achieve this a thermogravimetric analysis was carried out in the temperature range of 25°C to about 1000°C. In this temperature range, it had been found that the differential primary weight loss curve had yielded three distinct peaks for the tendon collagen. The thermal decomposition corresponding to each peak was analyzed to retrieve its kinetic parameters. The peak temperature associated with the first peak decreased as the water content in a sample increased, while that of the second peak was independent of its hydration condition. It is believed that the first and the second peaks are, respectively, results of: (1) dissociation of water from collagen, and (2) of breaking of the collagen molecule itself. The third peak has not been easily identified so far. The activation energy and the order of water decomposition are obtained by various known methods. The results obtained by these different approaches agree reasonably well. The kinetic parameters of second and third peak are also obtained and reported here.

    Notes: The problem of calculating detailed probability profiles giving the probability of each unit in the chain to be in the ordered state (and all other average quantities as well including the fraction of strand association) for specific-sequence macromolecules requiring statistical weights that correlate up to the total number of units in the chain (e.g., DNA, collagen) is formulated in terms of recursion relations for appropriate a priori and conditional probabilities, thus generalizing the approach of Lacombe and Simha for nearest-neighbor correlations in specific sequence macromolecules. The technique allows the probability profiles for chains of thousands of units to be calculated in minutes making no approximation in the basic model.

    Notes: Interaction between poly(Lys50, Tyr50) and DNA has been studied by absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal denaturation in 0.001M Tris, pH 6.8. The binding of this copolypeptide to DNA results in an absorbance enhancement and fluorescence quenching on tyrosine. There is also an increase in the tyrosine CD at 230 nm. The CD of DNA above 250 nm is slightly shifted to the longer wavelength which is qualitatively similar to, but quantitatively much smaller than, that induced by polylysine binding. At physiological pH the poly(Lys50, Tyr50)-DNA complex is soluble until there is one lysine and one tyrosine per nucleotide in the complex. The same ratio of amino acid residues to nucleotide has also been observed in copolypeptide-bound regions of the complex. The addition of more poly(Lys50, Tyr50) to DNA yields a constant melting temperature, Tm′, for bound base pairs at 90°C which is close to that of polylysine-bound DNA under the same condition. The melting temperature, Tm, of free base pairs at about 60°C on the other hand, is increased by 10°C as more copolypeptide is bound to DNA. As the temperature is raised, both absorption and CD spectra of the complexes with high coverage are changed, suggesting structural alteration, perhaps deprotonation, on bound tyrosine. The results in this report also suggest that intercalation of tyrosine in DNA is unlikely to be the mode of binding.

Die Quaternierung des Polymer-Liganden selbst zeigte jedoch nur einen geringen sterischen Einfluß auf die Reduktionskinetik. Für die verschiedenen Brückenliganden (X) ergab sich folgende Reihe in bezug auf die Reduktionsgeschwindigkeit von cis-[Co(en)2PVPX]2+:N3 〉 Cl 〉 Br. Die Reduktionsgeschwindigkeit von cis-[Co(en)2PVPCl]2+ ist größer als die von cis-[Co(trien)PVPCl]2+. Die Einflüsse der Brücken- und Nichtbrückenliganden auf die Reduktion sind ähnlich für die Polymer-Komplexe und die monomeren Analoga.
    Notes: Cobalt(III)-complexes having a polymeric ligand, cis-[Co(en)2PVPCl]Cl2, cis-[Co(trien)-PVPCl]Cl2, cis-[Co(en)2PVPBr]Br2, cis-[Co(en)2PVPN3]Cl2 and cis-[Co(en)2QPVPCl]Cl2 (where PVP = poly(4-vinylpyridine) and QPVP = partially quarternized PVP) were prepared and their reduction with ferrous sulfate was studied. Complex formation with QPVP was shown to be affected by steric factors such as the degree of polymerization and the bulkiness of the quaternizing agents, but the quarternization showed only a small steric influence on the reduction kinetics. The order of the reduction rate of cis-[Co(en)2PVPX]2+ with respect to the bridging ligand X is N3 〉 Cl 〉 Br, and the reduction rate of cis-[Co(en)2PVPCl]2+ is higher than that of cis-[Co(trien)PVPCl]2+. The effects of bridging and non-bridging ligands in the reduction of polymer complexes were the same as those for the monomeric analogues.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die FLORYsche Theorie über das Prinzip der übereinstimmenden Zustände für Polymerlösungen wurde geprüft, indem die theoretisch berechneten Parameter mit experimentellen Ergebnissen verglichen wurden. Der osmotische Druck des Systems Polystyrol/Äthylmethylketon wurde für Polymerkonzentrationen zwischen 10 und 30% bei 10 bis 55°C gemessen. Unter Verwendung der Parameter X12 und Q12, die den erhaltenen Daten am besten entsprachen, wurden die berechneten Parameter mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen verglichen. Der Entropie-Parameter ψ1 sowie der Enthalpie-Parameter χH, 1 waren negativ und nahmen mit steigender Temperatur ab. Mit Hilfe der anpassungsfähigen Parameter X12 und Q12 gibt die FLORYsche Theorie die thermodynamischen Größen ziemlich gut wieder, obwohl eine geringe Abweichung von den experimentellen Ergebnissen zu bestehen scheint. Die SHULTZ-FLORYsche Methode zur Bestimmung der Theta;-Temperatur wurde auf der Grundlage dieser Theorie diskutiert.
    Notes: The polymer solution theory on the corresponding state principle developed by FLORY was examined by comparing the thermodynamic parameters calculated theoretically with experimental results. The osmotic pressure of the polystyrene/ethyl methyl ketone system was determined for solutions of polymer concentrations 10 to 30% at 10 to 55°C. Using X12 and Q12 parameters best fitting to these data, the calculated parameters were compared with experimental results. Both the entropy parameter ψ1 and enthalpy parameter χH, 1 were negative and decreased with increasing temperature. FLORY'S theory elucidates appreciably well the thermodynamic quantities with the use of the adjustable parameters X12 and Q12, but there seems to remain still some disagreement with experimental results. SHULTZ-FLORY'S method for determining the Θ-temperature was discussed based on this theory.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurde der Einfluß der sterischen Hinderung durch Polypeptid-Seitenketten auf den Wachstumsmechanismus von Polypeptidkristallen während der Polymerisation untersucht. Dabei wurden von uns Untersuchungen der Kinetik der heterogenen Polymerisation von L-Valin-LEUCHS-Anhydrid (NCA), L-Isoleucin-NCA und L-Leucin-NCA mit Butylamin als Initiator in Acetonitril und der Strukturen sowie der Morphologie der gebildeten Polymere durchgeführt. In den Anfangsstadien der Polymerisation bildeten sich Oligomere, die in dünnen, bandförmigen Kristallen mit antiparalleler β-Konformation kristallisierten. Die molekularen Anordnungen in den Kristallen wurden mit Hilfe der Elektronenbeugung untersucht. In den späteren Stadien der Polymerisation setzten die gewachsenen Poly(L-valin)- und Poly-(L-iso1eucin)-Ketten die β-Struktur weiter fort, und ihre aktiven Enden wurden in den gebildeten Kristallen eingeschlossen, was ein-Einpendeln des Umsatzes bei einem niedrigen Wert zur Folge hatte. Poly(L-leucin) andererseits schien Kristalle mit gestreckten Ketten zu bilden, die zu einem sehr hohen Umsatz führten. Dies kann nicht ohne die Annahme erklärt werden, daß sich auf den in den Anfangsstadien der Polymerisation gebildeten β-Skelettkristallen α-Helix-Ketten bilden, wie dies im Falle des Poly(L-alanins) bereits früher berichtet wurde.
    Notes: In order to examine the effect of the steric hindrance by the polypeptide side chains on the growth mechanism of polypeptide crystals in the course of polymerization, we studied kinetics of the heterogeneous polymerization of L-valine N-carboxy anhydride (NCA), L-isoleucine NCA, and L-leucine NCA initiated by butylamine in acetonitrile and the structures and morphologies of the resultant polymers. In the early stages of polymerization, oligomers formed crystallized into thin ribbon-like crystals with the antiparallel β-conformation. The molecular arrangements in the crystals were studied by electron diffractions. In the later stages, the grown chains of poly(L-valine) and poly(L-isoleucine) continued to take the β-structure and their active ends were occluded in the crystals formed, which resulted in the levelling off of the conversion at a low value. On the other hand, poly(L-leucine) seemed to give the extended chain crystal, which made the conversion very high. This can not be accounted for without assuming the formation of β-helical chains onto the β-skeleton crystals formed in the early stages of polymerization as in the case of poly(L-alanine) reported previously.

    Description / Table of Contents: The kinetics and the mechanism of the mechanochemical polycondensation process of poly(oxyethyleneoxyterephthaloyl) [poly(ethylene terephthalate)] with aliphatic diamines (ethylene- and hexamethylenediamine) were studied. First order kinetics was found and in addition the fact that a very small thermal activation energy is needed and that the diamines can react as radical acceptors.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zur Aufklärung des Mechanismus der Redox-Polymerisation von Methylmethacrylat, die die Redox-Startsysteme N-Halogendiäthylamin + Fe2+ und Triäthylamin + Halogen + Fe2+ in wäßrigem Medium unter Lichtausschluß bewirken, wurden die Endgruppen des Polymeren nach der Farbstoff-Verteilungsmethode untersucht. Im Falle von Chlor als Halogen kommt es mit beiden Startsystemen lediglich zum Einbau von Aminogruppen in das Polymere in einem Ausmaß von ca. 1 Endgruppe pro Polymermolekül. Bei Verwendung des Startsystems Triäthylamin + Halogen + Fe2+ liegen darüber hinaus die in das Polymer eingebauten Aminogruppen zu einem großen Teil in quaternärer Form vor. Mit Brom als Halogen findet bei beiden Anregungssystemen lediglich ein Bromeinbau, nicht jedoch ein Einbau von Aminogruppen in das Polymere statt. Die Chlor enthaltenden Startsysteme haben sich für die Herstellung von solchen Polymeren nützlich erwiesen, die eine Aminogruppe nur an einem der beiden Kettenenden besitzen sollen.
    Notes: The mechanism of the redox polymerization of methyl methacrylate in aqueous medium in the dark was studied for the redox initiator systems N-halodiethylamine + Fe(II) and triethylamine + halogen + Fe(II), by analysis of the polymer end groups using the dye partition method. In the case of chlorine, both these initiator systems incorporate only the amino group into the polymer to an extent of about one group per polymer molecule. The polymers are found to be free from chlorine. Furthermore, a large portion of the total amino groups introduced into the polymer, using the initiator system triethylamine + halogen + Fe(II) are quaternary in nature. In the case of bromine, both the initiator systems introduce only a bromine atom and no amino group into the polymer. The initiator systems containing chlorine prove to be useful for the preparation of polymers containing amino groups at the one end only.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die radikalische Polymerisation des Divinylketons in Aceton bei 50°C wurde untersucht und mit den Resultaten bereits bekannter radikalischer Polymerisationen anderer 1,4-Diene vergl+hen. Es wird gezeigt, daß Divinylketon einer bicyclischen Cyclopolymerisation unterliegt, die derjenigen des Divinyläthers und des Divinylsulfids ähnlich ist. Die Cyclisierungskonstanten werden ermittelt und die Zusammensetzung der Polymere (als lineare, monocyclische und bicyclische Struktureinheiten) als Funktion der Monomerkonzentration, bei welcher die Polymerisation durchgeführt wurde, berechnet.
    Notes: The free radical polymerization of divinyl ketone at 50°C in acetone solutions was investigated. The results are compared with those already reported for the free radical polymerization of other 1,4-dienes. It is shown that divinyl ketone undergoes bicyclic cyclopolymerization in a similar way as divinyl ether and divinyl sulfide. The cyclization ratios are computed and the polymer composition, in terms of linear, monocyclic and bicyclic structural units, is calculated as a function of the monomer concentration at which the polymerization was carried out.

    Description / Table of Contents: The oxidation of molten foils (20μm) from high pressure polyethylene at 157°C and at 650 Torr (= 867 mbar) oxygen pressure was studied and kinetically analyzed for the period of maximum rate.The oxygen uptake, weight increase, and hydroperoxide formation start with a rate different from zero; the initial rate of carbonyl groups and volatile products is practically zero.The absorbed oxygen, except in the initial stage, shows a distribution of the ratio 1:1 between the polymer (predominantly as carbonyl groups) and volatile products (such as water). The average number of C-atoms in the volatile fragments was estimated from kinetic data to be 6 per O-atom.

Die durchschnittliche Anzahl von C-Atomen in den flüchtigen Fragmenten wurde aus kinetischen Daten auf 6 pro O-Atom abgeschätzt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Nicht-neutralisierte und neutralisierte, syndiotaktische Poly(methacrylsäure) wird mit Diazomethan partiell verestert. Umsatz und Triadenverteilung der entstenhenden cosyndiotaktischen Methylmethacrylat-Methacrylsäure-Copolymeren und deren Fraktionen werden durch 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie bestimmt. Nicht-neutralisierte Poly(methacrylsäure) ergibt Copolymere, die in bezug auf den Umsatz heterogen sind; ihre Fraktionen zeigen näherungsweise eine BERNOULLI-Verteilung der Triaden. Neutralisierte Poly(methacrylsäure) liefert hingegen homogene Copolymere mit einer innerhalb der Meßgenauigkeit liegenden BERNOULLI-Verteilung der Triaden. Ein kinetischer Nachbargruppeneffekt tritt daher bei der Veresterung mit Diazomethan nicht auf. So hergestellte Copolymere weisen eine einfache konfigurative und kompositive Statistik auf, wie sie durch Copolymerisation der Monomeren bislang nicht hergestellt werden kann. Der Polyelektrolytcharakter der Copolymeren kann durch anschließende, vollständige Veresterung mit einem zweiten Diazoalkan eliminiert werden; die Statistik der so entstehendenen Copolymeren ist mit der der ursprünglichen Copolymeren identisch.
    Notes: Syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid) is partially esterified as such or in its neutralized form with diazomethane. The extent of reaction and the triad distribution of the resulting cosyndiotactic methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymers and their fractions are determined by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Unneutralized poly(methacrylic acid) yields copolymers which are heterogeneous with respect to conversion, the fractions of the copolymers possessing an approximate BERNOULLIan triad distribution. Neutralized poly(methacrylic acid) results in homogeneous copolymers whose triad distribution is BERNOULLIan within accuracy of measurement. A kinetic neighboring group effect is therefore not operative during the esterification with diazomethane. Copolymers may thus be prepared which are of simple configurational and compositional statistics, not obtainable at present by copolymerization of monomers. The polyelectrolyte character of the copolymers may be eliminated by consecutive, complete esterification with a second diazoalkane, the statistics of the derived copolymers being identical with that of the precursor copolymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Bildung von Polyionen-Komplexen in wäßrigem Medium zwischen Polykationen, die Ladungen in der Kette tragen, und Polycarbonsäuren, wie Polymethacrylsäure (PMAA), Polyacrylsäure (PAA) und Polyitaconsäure (PIA), wurde untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Polykationen stabilere Komplexe bilden als die entsprechenden niedermolekularen Kationen und daß neben der Kettenlänge die Dissoziationskonstanten und die Hydrophobie die Bildungsfähigkeit der Polyionen-Komplexe beeinflußte. Die Zusammensetzung der Komplexe zwischen Polykationen und Polycarbonsäuren wurde vor allem durch den Dissoziationsgrad (α′) der Polycarbonsäuren bestimmt.Aus diesen Ergebnissen ist zu schließen, daß die Komplexe durch die kooperativen Wechselwirkungen zwischen zwei Polymerketten, die entgegengesetzte Ladungen tragen, gebildet werden und daß die Polyionen-Komplexe reversibel Schleifen-, Leiter- und dazwischenliegende Strukturen ausbilden.
    Notes: The formation of polyion complexes in aqueous medium between polycations carrying charges in the chain backbone and poly(carboxylic acid)s, such as poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), poly(carboxylic acid) (PAA), and poly(itaconic acid) (PIA), were studied. It was found that polycations formed more stable complexes than their corresponding low molecular weight cations and that in addition to the chain length, dissociation constants and the hydrophobicity dominated the ability of the formation of a polyion complex. The compositions of the complexes between polycation and polycarboxylic acid were defined mainly by the degree of dissociation (α′) of the poly(carboxylic acid).From these results it is concluded that the complexes are formed by the cooperative interactions between two polymer chains which have charges of opposite sign and the structures of polyion complexes can accept reversible states like loops, ladders, and their intermediate shapes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird gezeigt, daß die zur Zeit vorhandenen Kenntnisse über die Struktur von amorphen Blockpolymeren mit der Vorstellung von der Existenz eines beträchtlichen Anteils an Nahordnung der Kettensegmente übereinstimmen. Es wird vermutet, daß die starke Veränderung der Molekulargewichtsabhängigkeit der NEWTONschen Viskosität von Polymerenschmelzen beim Erreichen eines kritischen Molekulargewichts Mc für die Bildung von „Verhakungen“ hauptsächlich bedingt ist durch den übergang von Makromolekülen aus der gestreckten Konformation in eine solche mit statistischen Faltungen der Makromoleküle. Schließlich werden empirische Abhängigkeiten ermittelt, welche die Werte der Packungskoeffizienten eines Polymeren im kristallinen Zustand sowie die „besten“ numerischen Werte von Mc mit molekularen Parametern eines Polymeren verbinden.
    Notes: It is shown that the presently available information on the structure of bulk amorphous polymers is consistent with the concept of the existence of a substantial amount of short-range segmental order. It is suggested that the sharp change of molecular-weight dependence of NEWTONian viscosity of polymer melts with the approach to the critical “entanglement” molecular weight Mc is brought about mainly by the transition from the extended-chain conformation of the macromolecules into the statistically folded-chain conformation. Finally, empirical relationships are obtained which relate the values of polymer packing coefficients in the crystalline state as well as the “best” numerical values of Mc with molecular parameters of a polymer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Funktion von Carbokationen bei der kationischen Polymerisation wird diskutiert, wobei unterschieden wird zwischen π- (d.h. Alkenen und Arenen), σ- (d.h. Alkanen) und n-Donator-Monomeren (d.h. Äthern, Sulfiden und Stickstoff-Verbindungen) als die reaktiven Nucleophile. Der Mechanismus der Initiierungsstufe bei der Alken-Polymerisation wird geprüft im Hinblick auf protische (d.h. einen Coinitiator enthaltende) und aprotische Systeme. So kann z. B. die durch Aluminiumbromid katalysierte Polymerisation von Isobutylen neben den konjugierten Protonsauren Zwischenprodukte der Bromalanat-Bildung im aprotischen Medium mit enthalten, die jedoch eine Eliminierung erleiden konnen unter Bildung von HBr im ursprunglich saurefreien System. Das Auftreten von Dialkylhalonium-Ionen in Halogenalkan-Lösungsmittelsystemen ist ebenfalls von wesentlichem Interesse und mag die in der Reihenfolge RJ〉RBr〉RCl zunehmende Desaktivierung erklären.Die oxidative Polykondensation von π-Donator-Arenen (wie Benzol) und σ-Donator-Alkanen (wie Methan) wird im Kontext des generellen Carbokation-Konzepts diskutiert unter Einbeziehung der trivalenten Carbeniumionen-Zwischenprodukte im ersten Fall und der pentakoordinierten Carboniumionen im letzteren Fall, da die reaktiven Alkylie-rungs-Agenzien für die ionischen Wachstumsreaktionen verantwortlich sind. n-Donator-Monomere wie Äther, Sulfide oder verschiedenartige Stickstoffverbindungen unterliegen der Polymerisation via nucleophilen Substitutionsreaktionen an carbokationischen Stellen intermediärer alkylierter oder protonierter Onium-Ionen.
    Notes: The rôle of carbocations in cationic polymerizations is discussed, differentiating σ- (i.e. alkene and arene), π- (i.e. alkane) and n-donor (i.e. ether, sulfide, nitrogen compound) monomers as the reactive nucleophiles. The mechanism of the initiation step in alkene polymerization is evaluated considering both protic (i.e. coinitiator containing) and aprotic systems. The aluminum bromide catalyzed polymerization of isobutylene, as an example, can involve besides the conjugate protic acid, bromoalanation intermediates in aprotic media, which, however, themselves rapidly can undergo elimination, forming HBr in the originally acid free system. The involvement of dialkylhalonium ions in alkyl halide solvent systems is also of substantial interest and may explain increasing deactivation in the order RI〉RBr〉RCl. Oxidative polycondensation of π-donor arenes (such as benzene) and σ-donor alkanes (such as methane) is discussed in the context of the general carbocation concept, involving trivalent carbenium ion intermediates in the former and pentacoordinated carbonium ions in the latter case, as the reactive alkylating agents responsible for the ionic propagation reactions. n-Donor monomers, such as ethers, sulfides or miscellaneous nitrogen compounds, undergo polymerization via nucleophilic displacement reactions on the polarized carbocationic sites of intermediate alkylated or protonated onium ions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Mit Hilfe der Abtast-Kalorimetrie (DSC) wurden der Verlauf und die Kinetik der isothermen Polymerisation des Vinylacetates in Masse studiert. Als Initiator wurde 2,2′-Azoisobutyronitril verwendet. Die Polymerisation wurde bei Temperaturen zwischen 55 und 70°C mit konstanter Initiatormenge, 5,0.10-2 mol/l, ausgeführt. Die Polymerisationswärme beträgt bei 60°C - 19,5 kcal/mol und nimmt mit steigender Temperatur ab. Es wurden auch Geschwindigkeitskonstanten der Polymerisation im stationären Zustand und aus ihnen die Bruttoaktivierungsenergie zu 21,6 kcal/mol bestimmt. Eine andere Reihe von Experimenten wurde bei 60°C mit verschiedenen Initiatormengen durchgeführt. Die Bruttogeschwindigkeit der Polymerisation bei kleinen Umsätzen ist der Wurzel der Initiatormenge proportional, was dem angenommenen kinetischen Schema entspricht.
    Notes: The course and kinetics of the isothermal bulk polymerization of vinyl acetate were studied by differential scanning calorimetry. The initiator used was 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile. The polymerization was investigated at temperatures between 55 and 70°C at constant initiator concentration, 5,0.10-2 mol/l. The heat of polymerization at 60°C is - 19,5 kcal/mol and decreases with increasing temperature. Initial rate constants for the polymerization were also determined and from them the overall activation energy, 21,6 kcal/mol. Another series of polymerization experiments were performed at 60°C with variable amounts of the initiator. The overall rate of polymerization at low degrees of conversion depends on the square root of the initiator concentration which is in agreement with the assumed kinetic scheme.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Polymerisation von Propylensulfid (1) unter dem Einfluß von Triäthyloxoniumtetrafluoroborat (TEFB) in Methylenchlorid wurde untersucht. Die Zeit-Umsatz-Kurven zeigen, daß die Polymerisation in zwei Phasen verläuft: anfangs eine sehr schnelle nicht stationäre Phase A, die bei begrenzter Ausbeute aufhört, und daran anschließend eine viel langsamere Phase B, die zu einem quantitativen Umsatz führt Die Abbruchreaktion der Phase A ist erster Ordnung in bezug auf den Initiator und ist unabhängig von der Monomerkonzentration. Als Mechanismus der Abbruchreaktion wird die Bildung eines haupt-sächlich zwölf-gliedrigen zyklischen Sulfoniumsalzes am Ende der Polymerkette vorgeschlagen. Das Verhaltnis der Geschwindigkeitskonstanten fur die Wachstums- und Abbruchreaktionen bei 0°C in CH2CL2, ist 9 dm3 mol-1. Aus der Kinetik wird geschlossen, daß die Phase B durch die langsame Bildung eines drei-gliedrigen zyklischen Sulfonium-salzes durch einen intramolekularen nukleophilen Angriff der letzten Sulfidgruppe der Polymerkette am α-Kohlenstoff neben dem Sulfoniumsalz ausgelöst wird. Ein weiterer Beweis für diese Art der Re-initiierung wird aus der Beobachtung erhalten, daß einfache Trialkylsulfoniumsalze die Polymerisation nicht starten können, während unter identischen Bedingungen 2-Thia-alkylsulfoniumsalze Polymerisationen ohne eine Phase A ergeben, die ähnlich wie die Phase B von mit TEFB gestarteten Reaktionen verlaufen. Eine “Back-biting”-Reaktion, ähnlich der Abbruchreaktion, ist für den Abbau des Polymeren (hauptsächlich) in zyklische Tetramere verantwortlich.Die Molekulargewichte der Polymeren wurden mit Hilfe der Gelpermeationschromato-graphie gemessen und stimmen mit dem vorgeschlagenen Mechanismus gut überein.
    Notes: Time-conversion curves show that the polymerization of propylene sulfide (1) by triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (TEFB) in methylene chloride consists of an initial very fast, non-stationary stage A and a much slower subsequent stage B which leads to quantitative conversion. The termination reaction of stage A is of first order with respect to initiator concentration and is independent of monomer concentration. The proposed mechanism for this termination is the formation of a (mainly) 12-membered cyclic sulfonium salt at the end of the polymer chain. The ratio of the rate constant of propagation to the rate constant of termination at 0°C in CH2Cl2 is 9 dm3 mol-1. From the kinetics, it is concluded that stage B is initiated by slow formation of a three-membered cyclic sulfonium salt by an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the last sulfide function of the polymer chain on the α-carbon next to the sulfonium salt. Further evidence for this kind of re-initiation is obtained from the observation that simple trialkylsulfonium salts are very poor initiators or completely incapable of initiating the polymerization, whereas under identical conditions 2-thia-alkylsulfonium salts give polymerizations without stage A which are similar to the stage B of the TEFB-initiated reactions. A backbiting reaction, similar to the termination reaction, is responsible for the degradation of polymer (mainly) into cyclic tetramer. The molecular weights of the polymers, measured by gel permeation chromatography, are in reasonable agreement with the proposed mechanism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Copolymers from vinylchloride (VC) und propene (P) were investigated by high resolution proton magnetic resonance at 100 MHz. The methyl resonance of P units and the methine resonance of VC units in the decoupled spectra were assigned to configurational triads by the aid of a graphical separation method.A plot was developed to determine the cotacticity parameters Σs and Σp; in addition, the “ultimate model” has been checked by this method. Using the dependence of the cotacticity parameters on polymerization temperature the activation enthalpies of tactic propagation steps have been determined.
    Notes: Copolymere aus Vinylchlorid (VC) und Propen (P) wurden durch hochauflösende magnetische Protonenresonanz bei 100 MHz untersucht. Die Methylresonanz der P-Einheiten und die entkoppelte Methinresonanz der VC-Einheiten konnten anhand eines graphischen Trennverfahrens konfigurativen Triaden zugeordnet werden.Es wurde eine graphische Darstellung entwickelt, die sowohl die Werte der Cotaxieparameter Σs und Σp liefert als auch ein Test für das “ultimate model” ist. Aus der Abhängigkeit der Cotaxieparameter von der Polymerisationstemperatur konnten die Aktivierungsenthalpien der taktischen Wachstumsschritte ermittelt werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Untersuchung von 13C-NMR-Spektren von ungesättigten Homopolymeren (Polyalkenylenen und Polypentadienen) hat gezeigt, daß man zwischen 1,2- und 1,4-Strukturen und zwischen einer cis- und trans-Konfiguration der Doppelbindungen entlang der Kette unterscheiden kann. Durch Anwendung dieser Technik ist es möglich geworden, Klarheit über die Struktur und die relative Orientierung der Monomerinheiten in alternierenden Copolymeren des Isoprens mit Acrylnitril oder Propen zu erhalten. Mit derselben Methode wurden auch Copolymere des Butadiens mit den beiden letzteren Comonomeren geprüft.
    Notes: The examination of 13C-NMR spectra of some unsaturated homopolymers (polyalkenylenes and polypentadienes) has shown that it is possible to distinguish beween 1,2-and 1,4-structures and between cis- and trans-configuration of the double bonds along the chain. By using this technique, it has been possible to obtain evidences on the structure and the relative orientation of monomeric units in alternating copolymers of isoprene with acrylonitrile or propene. Copolymers of butadiene with these two latter comonomers were also examined by this method.

    Description / Table of Contents: N-Alkylmaleimide vom N-Methyl-bis zum N-Octadecyl-Derivat wurden durch γ-Strahlung im festen Zustand polymerisiert. Die Polymerisation weist während der Bestrahlung im allgemeinen eine S-förmige Umsatzkurve auf, mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten und quantitativem Umsatz bei Temperaturen von 10°C unterhalb des Schmelzpunktes. Die Geschwindigkeiten waren nach der Bestrahlung niedriger und zeigten eine typische Annäherung an einen Grenzumsatz. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeiten nahmen mit der Temperatur und der Bestrahlungsdosis sowie mit der Länge der Alkylkette zu. N-Methylmaleimid zeigte eine hohe Geschwindigkeit bei der Polymerisation in Substanz, die der Flüchtigkeit des Monomers zugeschrieben wurde.
    Notes: N-alkylmaleimides from the N-methyl to the N-octadecyl derivative were polymerized in the solid state by γ-radiation. Polymerization during irradiation generally showed sigmoidal conversion curves with high rates and complete conversion 10°C below the melting point. Post-irradiation rates were lower and showed the typical approach to a “limiting” conversion. The polymerization rates increased with temperature and radiation dose and with the length of the alkyl chain. N-methylmaleimide had a high rate of in-source polymerization which was attributed to the volatility of the monomer.

    Description / Table of Contents: The kinetics of the initiated copolymerization in the presence of zinc chloride or diethylaluminumchloride was studied. For the system styrene/methyl methacrylate/zinc chloride (initiator: benzoylperoxide) it was found that (besides the copolymer) polystyrene was formed. This was explained by a cationic polymerization in competition with the radical process.A scheme was proposed which describes the copolymerization of the two polar monomers with the non-polar one together with an equation of the composition of the ternary copolymers obtained in the presence of one of the complex forming compounds.
    Notes: Die Kinetik der initiierten Copolymerisation in Anwesenheit von Zinkchlorid oder Diäthylaluminiumchlorid wurde untersucht. Für das System Styrol/Methylmethacrylat/Zinkchlorid (Initiator Benzoylperoxid) wurde die Bildung von Polystyrol festgestellt (neben der Bildung von Copolymeren), die auf eine neben der radikalischen Polymerisation verlaufende kationische Polymerisation zurückgeführt wurde.Es wurde ein Schema der Stadien des Kettenwachstums der Copolymerisation zweier polarer Monomere mit einem nicht polaren Monomer vorgeschlagen sowie eine Gleichung der Zusammensetzung ternärer Copolymere, die im Beisein eines Komplexbildners erhalten wurden.

    Description / Table of Contents: The homologous series of cyclooctene oligomers was prepared by means of the metathesis reaction. The oligomers were separated and purified by gel permeation chromatography. Boiling points and indices of refraction were determined and the spectroscopic behavior was investigated. In particular the mass spectra of the oligomers are discussed in comparison with those of cyclododecene oligomers, of 1,5-cyclooctadiene oligomers, and of acyclic oligobutadienes. The results confirm the cyclic structure of oligomers prepared by ring-opening polymerisation of cycloolefins. Further, under suitable conditions the mass spectra can be a means to distinguish between cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbons.
    Notes: Die homologe Reihe der Oligomeren des Cyclooctens wurde mit Hilfe der Metathese-Reaktion dargestellt; die Oligomeren wurden gelchromatographisch getrennt und gereinigt. Ihre Siedepunkte und Brechungsindices wurden bestimmt, und ihr spektroskopisches Verhalten wurde untersucht. Insbesondere werden die Massenspektren der Oligomeren im Vergleich zu denen der Oligomeren des Cyclododecens, des 1,5-Cyclooctadiens und acyclischer Oligobutadiene diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die cyclische Struktur der durch ringöffnende Polymerisation von Cycloolefinen erhaltenen Oligomeren. Darüberhinaus wird gezeigt, daß die Massenspektrometrie unter geeigneten Bedingungen herangezogen werden kann, um zwischen cyclischen und acyclischen Kohlenwasserstoffen zu unterscheiden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Copolymers from vinylchloride (VC) and propene (P) were investigated by high resolution proton magnetic resonance at 100 MHz. By comparison with the spectra of the homopolymers the resonances of the copolymers spectra have been assigned, the overall composition determined and the reactivity ratios derived.Using the spin decoupling technique the methine resonance of the VC units splits into five peaks. Their assignment to compositional and configurational triads has been successful by applying a graphical separation method. The validity of the copolymerization model used for the determination of the reactivity ratios has been checked by means of the measured triad frequencies.
    Notes: Copolymere aus Vinylchlorid (VC) und Propen (P) wurden durch hochauflösende magnetische Protonenresonanz bei 100 MHz untersucht. Aus dem Vergleich mit den Homopolymerspektren konnten die Resonanzkomplexe der Copolymerspektren zugeordnet, die Bruttozusammensetzung der Copolymeren ermittelt und die Copolymerisationsparameter berechnet werden.Der Methinresonanzkomplex der VC-Einheiten ließ sich durch Spinentkopplung in fünf Peaks aufspalten. Ihre Zuordnung zu kompositiven und konfigurativen Triaden erfolgte anhand eines graphischen Trennverfahrens. Das zur Ermittlung der Copolymerisationsparameter verwendete Wachstumsmodell wurde mit den gemessenen Triadenhäufigkeiten auf seine Gültigkeit hin geprüft.

    Description / Table of Contents: Um den Initiierungsmechanismus der Polymerisation von Acrylamid durch Cer(IV)-Salz zu klären, wurde die Komplexverbindung von Cer(IV)-Salz mit Acrylamid und seinen methylierten Derivaten mittels IR- und NMR-Spektrometrie untersucht. Der Zerfall des Komplexes wurde durch Messung der Geschwindigkeit des Verbrauchs von Cer(IV)-Ionen verfolgt. Aus den Versuchsergebnissen kann geschlossen werden, daß der Sauerstoff des Acrylamids zur Komplexierung mit Cer-Ionen koordiniert und daß ein Radikal durch Abspaltung eines Wasserstoffatoms der Amidgruppe des Komplexes entsteht und so die Polymerisation initiert wird.
    Notes: In order to elucidate the initiation mechanism of the polymerization of acrylamide by ceric salt, the complexation of ceric salt with acrylamide and its methylated derivatives was investigated by IR and NMR spectrometry. The decomposition of the complex was also studied by determining the rate of ceric salt consumption. From the results it was concluded that the oxygen of acrylamide coordinates with the ceric ion to form the complex and that a radical is produced by abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the amide group of the molecule to initiate the polymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Reduktion des cis-[Co(en)2PVPCl]2+-Komplexes (1) (PVP = Polyvinylpyridin) mit Ferroionen oder Ferrochelat-Ionen wurde untersucht. Die Reduktion mit Fe2+ verläuft wegen elektrostatischer Abstoßung langsamer als die des monomeren Analogons, cis-Chlorobis-(ethylendiamin)-pyridin-kobalt(2+) (cis-[Co(en)2PyCl]2+). Dagegen ist die Reduktion mit [Fe-(edta)]2- um das Zwanzigfache beschleunigt. Mit zunehmendem Koordinationsgrad steigt der Beschleunigungsfaktor, und mit zunehmender Ionenstärke nimmt der Faktor ab. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Beschleunigung auf die elektrostatische Anziehung zwischen dem Polymer-Komplex als einem Polykation und dem Reduktionsmittel zurückzuführen ist. Die elektrostatische Wirkung wird im Vergleich zu den mit Polyelektrolyten katalysierten ionischen Reaktionen diskutiert.
    Notes: Reductions of cis-[Co(en)2PVPCl]2+ (1) [PVP = poly(4-vinylpyridine)] by ferrous aquoions and ferrous chelate ions were studied. The rate of reduction by Fe2+ is small compared to that of the monomeric analogue, cis-chlorobis(ethylenediamine)pyridine cobalt(2+) (cis-[Co(en)2PyCl]2+) due to the electrostatic repulsion. On the other hand, the reduction by [Fe-(edta)]2- is accelerated by a factor of 20. With increasing degree of coordination the acceleration factor increases, and with increasing ionic strength the factor decreases. The acceleration was found to be due to the electrostatic attraction of the reductant by the polymer as a polycation. The electrostatic effect is discussed in comparison with the catalysis of polyelectrolytes in ionic reactions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Verdünnungswärme und die Volumenänderung des Systems Polystyrol/Äthylacetat wurden gemessen. Es wurde gezeigt, daß die positiven Werte der enthalpischen Wechselwirkungsparameter und diejenigen des Exzeß-Volumens bei ungefähr derselben Molmasse des Polymers in negative übergehen. Dies wird erklärt mit einer drastischen Änderung der Konformation der Polymermoleküle beim Erreichen einer bestimmten Molmasse.
    Notes: The heats of dilution and the volume change for the system polystyrene/ethyl acetate were measured. It was shown that the values of the interaction heat parameter as well as those of the excess volume change their positive sign to a negative one at about the same molar mass of the polymer. This is explained in terms of drastic changes of the conformation of the polymer molecules as soon as a certain molar mass is attained.

Alle Resonanzen im aliphatischen Bereich wurden zugeordnet; hierbei wurden geschätzte Korrekturterme für die chemischen Verschiebungen im vorliegenden System zusammen mit den GRANTschen Parametern verwendet. Für jeden Peak wurde außerdem angegeben, ob er zu einer Diade oder Triade von cis-1,4- und 1,2-Einheiten gehört. Die gemessenen relativen Intensitäten der Peaks stimmten mit den berechneten Intensitäten überein; der Rechnung wurde eine regellose Verteilung der cis-1,4- und der 1,2-Einheiten zugrunde gelegt. Die gaschromatographische Analyse der Ozonolyseprodukte der Polymere zeigte ebenfalls eine regellose Verteilung der beiden Einheiten an.
    Notes: The proton decoupled natural abundant 13C-NMR spectra of equibinary (cis-1,4 - 1,2)-polybutadiene were measured. Assignments of spectra were made for all peaks of the aliphatic range using chemical shift corrective terms estimated for the present system together with GRANT's parameters. Each peak was interpreted in terms of the diad or triad of cis-1,4 and 1,2 units. The relative intensities of the peaks were in good agreement with the calculated ones from the random assumption with respect to the distribution of cis-1,4 and 1,2 units. The gas-chromatographic analysis of the ozonolysis product of the polymers also showed that the sequence distribution of cis-1,4 and 1,2 units was random.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kristallisation von Polyvinylalkohol (PVA) wurde in wäßriger Lösung bei stationärer Strömung untersucht. Die fibrillären Kristalle erscheinen kurz unter der Oberfläche der Lösung nach einigen Sekunden Rühren und wachsen allmählich auf. Die fibrillären Kristalle erscheinen sogar aus einer 0,05 proz. Lösung. Der Verlauf der Kristallisation von PVA in einer stationären Strömung wird in sieben Typen eingeteilt. Die Geschwindigkeit der Fällung nimmt mit abnehmendem Abstand zwischen der Oberfläche des Rührers und der Wand des Reagenzglases oder mit dem Durchmesser des Rührers zu.
    Notes: The crystallization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) from an aqueous solution was carried out under a steady-state flow. The fibrillar crystals occur just under the surface of the solution after a few seconds of stirring and they grow gradually. The fibrillar crystals are produced even from a 0,05% solution. The process of crystallization of PVA under steady-state flow was classified in seven types. The rate of precipitation increases with decreasing distance between the surface of a cylindrical stirrer and the wall of a test tube or with the diameter of the stirrer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Wachstumsmechanismus von Polypeptiden, die das Heteroatom S am β- oder γ-Kohlenstoff enthalten und die in der beta;-Konformation bzw. der α-Helix-Konformation auftreten, wurde während des Verlaufs einer heterogenen Polymerisation untersucht. Dabei wurden von uns Untersuchungen der Kinetik der heterogenen Polymerisation von S-Methyl-L-cystein-LEUCHS-Anhydrid (NCA), S-Benzyloxycarbonyl-L-cystein-NCA und L-Methionin-NCA mit Butylamin als Initiator in Acetonitril und der Morphologie der gebildeten Polymere durchgeführt. Wie zu erwarten war, konnte bestätigt werden, daß polymere S-substituierte L-Cysteine, die nur die β-Struktur als Ordnungsform annehmen, Kristalle mit Kettenfaltung ergaben. In allen untersuchten Fällen bildeten sich in den Anfangsstadien der Polymerisation lange, bändchenförmige Kristalle, die mit fortschreitender Polymerisation sich zu runden, stäbchenförmigen Fasern verdickten. Für den Wachstumsmechanismus dieser Polymerkristalle wird ein mögliches Modell vorgeschlagen, wobei die unregelmäßige β-Struktur zugrunde gelegt wurde. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß Poly(L-Methionin) mit α-Helixstruktur Kristalle mit gestreckten Ketten ergibt.
    Notes: In order to examine the growth mechanisms of polypeptides with a heteroatom, S, on the β- and γ-carbons which give the α-conformation and the α-helical conformation, resp., in the course of a heterogeneous polymerization, we have studied kinetics of the heterogeneous polymerization of S-methyl-L-cysteine N-carboxy anhydride (NCA), S-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-cysteine NCA and L-methionine NCA initiated by butylamine in acetonitrile and the morphologies of the resultant polymers. As was anticipated, it has been verified that poly-(S-substituted-L-cysteines), which take only the β-structure as the ordered form, gave the chain-folded crystals. In all the cases studied, long lath-like crystals formed in the early stages of polymerization thickened into round rod-like fibers as the polymerization proceeded. A possible model was proposed for the growth mechanism of these polymer crystals, taking into account the cross-β-structure. It has been revealed that poly(L-methionine) with the α-helical structure gave the extended chain crystals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Verschiedene Ketenacetale (1a-d) wurden dargestellt, und ihre homogene und heterogene kationische Polymerisation in Substanz und in Lösung im Temperaturbereich von ca. 100 bis -100°C wurde untersucht.Die Mehrzahl der in Lösung gebildeten Produkte waren zähflüssige, hellgelbe Flüssigkeiten oder klebrige, rote Festkörper. Die Polymerisation in Substanz mit kristallinen, wenig löslichen Initiatoren ergab weiße, wachsartige oder pulvrige Polymere. Von allen Systemen, bei denen die Löslichkeit der Polymere eine PG-Bestimmung ermöglichte, ergab die Polymerisation in Substanz mit kristallinem CdCl2 den höchsten PG (ca. 20). In Versuchen mit den verschiedensten löslichen Initiatoren in verschiedenen Lösungsmitteln und über einen weiten Temperaturbereich fanden wir, daß ein PG von mehr als ca. 8 nur ganz ausnahmsweise erzielt werden konnte.Das wachsende Dialkoxycarbeniumion, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm R}\hbox{---} {\rm CH}_2 \mathop {\rm C}\limits^ \oplus \left( {{\rm OR}} \right)_2, $\end{document} kann an mindestens fünf verschiedenen Kettenabbruchreaktionen teilnehmen. und unsere Befunde erklären, wieso die Geschwindigkeit der Abbruchreaktionen so vie1 größer ist als bei anderen Olefinen.Die saure Hydrolyse der Polymere ergibt die entsprechenden Poly(1-oxoäthylene) (Poly-(1,3-diketone)) (4a, b), von deren Keto- und Enol-Formen verschiedene Derivate hergestellt wurden.
    Notes: Various ketene acetals (1a-d) were prepared and their cationic polymerization under homogeneous and heterogeneous conditions, in bulk and in solution between ca. 100 and -100°C were investigated.Most of the reaction products formed in solution were viscous pale yellow fluids or sticky red solids, whereas those formed in bulk with solid, sparsely soluble initiators were white waxes or powders. For all systems for which solubility of product permitted DP determinations, the highest DPs (ca. 20) were found from bulk polymerization with solid CdCl2. With a wide range of soluble initiators in different solvents over a wide range of concentrations, DPs greater than about 8 were exceptional.It is suggested that there are at least five chain-breaking reactions involving the growing dialkoxycarbenium ion \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm R}\hbox{---} {\rm CH}_2 \hbox{---} \mathop {\rm C}\limits^ \oplus \left( {{\rm OR}} \right)_2 $\end{document} and evidence is presented which accounts for the high rate of chain-breaking compared with that for other olefinic monomers.Acid hydrolysis of the polymers yielded the corresponding poly(1-oxoethylenes) (poly-(1,3-diketone)) (4a, b), and various derivatives of both the keto and enol forms of these were prepared.
