I read this book the same weekend that the Packers took on the Rams, and the experience of the latter event, obviously, colored my judgment. Although I abhor anything that smacks of being a handbook (like, \"How to Earn a Merit Badge in Neurosurgery\") because too many volumes in biomedical science already evince a boyscout-like approach, I must confess that parts of this volume are fast, scholarly, and significant, with certain reservations. I like parts of this well-illustrated book because Dr. Sj6strand, without so stating, develops certain subjects on technique in relation to the acquisition of judgment and sophistication. And this is important! So, given that the author (like all of us) is somewhat deficient in some areas, and biased in others, the book is still valuable if the uninitiated reader swallows it in a general fashion, realizing full well that what will be required from the reader is a modulation to fit his vision, propreception, adaptation and response, and the kind of problem he is undertaking. A major deficiency of this book is revealed by comparison of its use of physics and of chemistry to provide understanding and background for the application of high resolution electron microscopy to problems in biology. Since the volume is keyed to high resolution electron microscopy, which is a sophisticated form of structural analysis, but really morphology in a modern guise, the physical and mechanical background of The instrument and its ancillary tools are simply and well presented. The potential use of chemical or cytochemical information as it relates to biological fine structure , however, is quite deficient. I wonder when even sophisticated morphol-ogists will consider fixation a reaction and not a technique; only then will the fundamentals become self-evident and predictable and this sine qua flon will become less mystical. Staining reactions (the most inadequate chapter) ought to be something more than a technique to selectively enhance contrast of morphological elements; it ought to give the structural addresses of some of the chemical residents of cell components. Is it pertinent that auto-radiography gets singled out for more complete coverage than other significant aspects of cytochemistry by a high resolution microscopist, when it has a built-in minimal error of 1,000 A in standard practice? I don't mean to blind-side (in strict football terminology) Dr. Sj6strand's efforts for what is \"routinely used in our laboratory\"; what is done is usually well done. It's just that …

Principles Of Fluorescence Spectroscopy

: The unpolarized absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the fundamental vibrational transitions of the chiral molecule, 4-methyl-2-oxetanone, are calculated ab initio. Harmonic force fields are obtained using Density Functional Theory (DFT), MP2, and SCF methodologies and a 5S4P2D/3S2P (TZ2P) basis set. DFT calculations use the Local Spin Density Approximation (LSDA), BLYP, and Becke3LYP (B3LYP) density functionals. Mid-IR spectra predicted using LSDA, BLYP, and B3LYP force fields are of significantly different quality, the B3LYP force field yielding spectra in clearly superior, and overall excellent, agreement with experiment. The MP2 force field yields spectra in slightly worse agreement with experiment than the B3LYP force field. The SCF force field yields spectra in poor agreement with experiment.The basis set dependence of B3LYP force fields is also explored: the 6-31G* and TZ2P basis sets give very similar results while the 3-21G basis set yields spectra in substantially worse agreements with experiment. jg

Crystal structure and EPR data of a dinuclear CuII complex, [Cu(N3)(NCO)diEten]2

Five new transition metal nitroprussides with 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, XPS and UV-vis spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analyses have revealed that the complexes Mn(1-MeIm)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (1), Fe(1-MeIm)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (2), Cu(1-MeIm)4[Fe(CN)5NO] (3), Zn(1-MeIm)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (4) and Cd(1-MeIm)2[Fe(CN)5NO] (5) are 2D coordination polymers. The supramolecular self-assembly of all the five complexes is governed by non-classical C–H⋯N hydrogen bonds and lone-pair(O)⋯π interactions. N⋯O chalcogen and π⋯π contacts are also present in the crystal packing of complexes 1, 2, 4 and 5. A detailed analysis of four geometric descriptors revealed the existence of a high degree of isostructurality for the molecular pair 1/2, and a moderate one for the pairs 1/5 and 2/5. The dissimilarity index was also calculated for molecular pairs in two series of related compounds, showing that the degree of similarity is lower than those found in the pairs 1/2, 1/5 and 2/5. The results herein discussed for first time in the literature may be useful to understand property/structure relationships in these types of complexes. By using DFT calculations at the PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory and discrete models of the coordination polymers, we have analyzed cooperative lp–π/π–π/π–lp assemblies that are observed in the solid state of these compounds. This interesting assembly has been further analyzed by a combination of QTAIM, NCIplot and MEP surface calculations. The magnetic measurements indicate that compounds 1–3 are paramagnetic at 300 K and the Curie–Weiss constants are negative, suggesting weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the metal centers, at very low temperatures.

The crystal structure of tetrabutylammonium nitroprusside dihydrate (TBANPDH, [(C4H9)4N]2[Fe(CN)5NO]·2H2O) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the compound was also studied, as well as the anhydrous salt (TBANP), by room and low temperature Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and room temperature Fourier Transform Near Infra-Red Raman (FTNIRR) spectroscopies In addition to the ground states (GS), the metastable excited states (MSI and MSII) generated by laser excitation (488 nm) at low temperature were IR studied, both of the dihydrate and the anhydrate TBANPDH crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3221, D63, with a = b = 13777(2), c = 22039(2) A, and Z = 3 The structure was solved employing 1273 independent XR reflections, with I > 2σ(I), by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R1 = 0054
