  • Exploiting Boron Coordination: B←N Bond Supports a [2+2] Photodimerization in the Solid State and Generation of a Diboron Bis‐Tweezer for Benzene/Thiophene Separation
Title: Exploiting Boron Coordination: B←N Bond Supports a [2+2] Photodimerization in the Solid State and Generation of a Diboron Bis‐Tweezer for Benzene/Thiophene Separation
Abstract B←N coordination supports a [2+2] photodimerization in the solid state. The bond is defined by an orthogonal interaction between stilbazole and a phenylboronic ester to enable a stereocontrolled and rapid photoreaction. The cyclobutane photoproduct affords a novel diboron bis‐tweezer adduct that is used to separate a mixture of benzene and thiophene upon crystallization.  more » « less

    Abstract We study tight projective 2‐designs in three different settings. In the complex setting, Zauner's conjecture predicts the existence of a tight projective 2‐design in every dimension. Pandey, Paulsen, Prakash, and Rahaman recently proposed an approach to make quantitative progress on this conjecture in terms of the entanglement breaking rank of a certain quantum channel. We show that this quantity is equal to the size of the smallest weighted projective 2‐design. Next, in the finite field setting, we introduce a notion of projective 2‐designs, we characterize when such projective 2‐designs are tight, and we provide a construction of such objects. Finally, in the quaternionic setting, we show that every tight projective 2‐design for determines an equi‐isoclinic tight fusion frame of subspaces of of dimension 3.

    Abstract We describe a templating/covalent capture strategy that enables photochemical formation of 8 cyclobutanes in one noncovalent assembly. This process was characterized by experiment and quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (ONIOM) calculations. Thus, KI and 16 units of 5′‐cinnamate guanosine form a G‐quadruplex where C=C π bonds in neighboring G4‐quartets are separated by 3.3 Å, enabling [2+2] photocycloaddition in solution. This reaction is high‐yielding (>90 %), regio‐ and diastereoselective. Since all components are in dynamic equilibrium this photocycloaddition is catalytic in K+.

    Abstract MotivationJBrowse Jupyter is a package that aims to close the gap between Python programming and genomic visualization. Web-based genome browsers are routinely used for publishing and inspecting genome annotations. Historically they have been deployed at the end of bioinformatics pipelines, typically decoupled from the analysis itself. However, emerging technologies such as Jupyter notebooks enable a more rapid iterative cycle of development, analysis and visualization. ResultsWe have developed a package that provides a Python interface to JBrowse 2’s suite of embeddable components, including the primary Linear Genome View. The package enables users to quickly set up, launch and customize JBrowse views from Jupyter notebooks. In addition, users can share their data via Google’s Colab notebooks, providing reproducible interactive views. Availability and implementationJBrowse Jupyter is released under the Apache License and is available for download on PyPI. Source code and demos are available on GitHub at https://github.com/GMOD/jbrowse-jupyter.

    Abstract A new strategy for the synthesis of highly versatile cyclobutylboronates via the photosensitized [2+2]‐cycloaddition of alkenylboronates and alkenes is presented. The process is mechanistically different from other processes in that energy transfer occurs with the alkenylboronate as opposed to the other alkene. This strategy allows for the synthesis of an array of diverse cyclobutylboronates. The conversion of these adducts to other compounds as well as their utility in the synthesis of melicodenine C is demonstrated.
