Abstract A fullerene derivative 1 of benzo[18]crown‐6 was obtained by Diels‐Alder addition fullerene[60](C 60 ) to the ortho ‐quinodimethane prepared in situ from 4,5‐bis(bromomethyl)benzo[18]crown‐6 ( 3 with Bu 4 NI toluene. Extraction experiments show that complexation K + ions strongly increases solubility protic solvents like MeOH. Using Langmuir‐Blodgett techniques, monolayers highly amphiphilic fullerene‐derived crown ether and its ion complex were prepared. An X‐ray crystal structure...
A new class of water-soluble, amphiphilic star block copolymers with a large number arms was prepared by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEGMA). As the macroinitiator for ATRP, 2-bromoisobutyric acid functionalized fourth-generation hyperbranched polyester (Boltorn H40) used, which allowed preparation polymers that contained on average 20 diblock copolymer arms. The synthetic concept validated AFM...
Serendipitously discovered during electrochemical investigations on the stability of anion 1, a preparatively useful procedure, retro-Bingel reaction, has been identified as method for removing di(alkoxycarbonyl)methano bridges from methanofullerenes. This procedure was applied to prepare first samples enantiomerically pure D2-C76 with unambiguous optical purity.
Abstract Although higher fullerenes are not yet available in larger amounts, their accessibility, like that of C 60 , has gradually improved since the early days fullerence chemistry. Today, many soluble carben can be purchased either pure form or as isomeric mixtures. In particular, 70 is preparative amounts from fullerene soot without need for tedious separation by high‐performance liquid chromatography; this had a major impact on progress chemistry fullerene. Over last years been...

Dynamic mixtures obtained by reversible covalent acylhydrazone formation of fragrance aldehydes and/or ketones and a hydrazide in water were found to be efficient delivery systems for the controlled release highly volatile organic molecules.
In analogy to evolution in biological processes, "molecular evolution", based on the reversible formation of imines, has successfully been explored for drug discovery, receptor design and as a controlled-release vehicle. Multicomponent systems composed amines carbonyl compounds generate structural diversity by reaction different components form equilibrated dynamic mixtures or combinatorial libraries (DCLs). Under thermodynamic control presence an external factor which influences...

Secondary diamines used for generation dynamic are obtained treatment primary with carbonyl compounds and reduction diimines NaBH 4 . The reversibilities reactions were demonstrated NMR measurements in buffered aqueous solutions. Kinetic rate constants equilibrium hydrolysis aminals determined. performance as delivery systems perfumery ingredients...

Dynamic mixtures generated by reversible aminal formation of fragrance aldehydes with N,N′-dibenzyl alkyldiamines in aqueous systems were found to be suitable delivery for the controlled release bioactive volatiles.
In the presence of alkali metal cations, guanosine-5′-hydrazide (1) forms stable supramolecular hydrogels by selective self-assembly into a G-quartet structure. Besides being physically trapped inside gel structure, biologically active aldehydes or ketones can also reversibly react with free hydrazide functions at periphery to form acylhydrazones. This particularity makes interesting as delivery systems for slow release bioactive carbonyl derivatives. Hydrogels formed from 1 were found be...
