Mercaptoalkyl derivatives of 5,5-diphenyl- and 5-arylidene hydantoins were synthesized as the result of hydrolytic cleavage of bicyclic imidazothiazoles, -thiazines, and -thiazepines. The title compounds were evaluated as potential antioxidants and free radical scavengers using the enzymic generation of O2- and non-enzymic lipid peroxidation tests. Examined compounds were inactive in both applied tests, where reference substances (flavonoids, nitric oxide donors and Ticlopidine) inhibited non-enzymic lipid peroxidation and scavenged superoxide anions.

Electronic transport measurements of single, systematically varied 4,4'-bis(mercaptoalkyl)-biphenyl derivatives (MABP) are performed in a controlled test-device. The molecules are composed of a central biphenyl unit (BP) carrying two mercaptoalkyl substituents with different chain lengths (m, n = number of CH(2)-units), in the para-position of the BP unit. The total length of both spacers is m + n = 10.

Structure formation and self-assembly of physisorbed and chemisorbed organic monolayers will be describedon electrified solid-liquid interfaces employing in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and surface-enhancedinfrared spectroscopy (SEIRAS) in combination with electrochemical techniques. We present first a casestudy on self-assembly by directional hydrogen bonding and its interplay with the electrode potential choosingaromatic carboxylic acids, with an emphasis on 1,3,5-benzene-tricarboxylic acid (TMA). Structure and electricalcharacteristics of chemisorbed organic monolayers involving the formation of covalent bonds with the substratesurface will be discussed for a series of 4-methyl-4'-(n-mercaptoalkyl)biphenylson Au(111) electrodes.

An efficient heterobifunctional reagent, N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxamide (TPICC) has been developed by a simple 'two step reaction' for the preparation of bioconjugates and immobilization of biomolecules such as oligonucleotides, peptides and proteins on the glass surface. The isothiocyanate functionality at one end of the reagent, TPICC was found specific for the ligands having either aminoalkyl (RNH(2)) or mercaptoalkyl (R-SH) functionality. The synthesis of bioconjugates with the reagent was achieved through its isothiocyanate functionality at one end via the formation of stable thiourea linkage with aminoalkyl and dithiocarbamate linkage with mercaptoalkyl derivatives.

An improved synthesis for 3-(3-aminopropyl)- and 3-(3-mercaptopropyl)-1,5,9-triazacyclododecane has been developed and alternative methods for their conjugation to oligonucleotides have been described. Accordingly, the 3-aminopropyl azacrown and its N-(3-aminopropanoyl)-3-aminopropyl analogue have been tethered to the 3'-terminus of a 2'-O-methyloligoribonucleotide by aminolytic cleavage of the thioester linker utilized for the chain assembly. Studies on a monomeric model compound verify that the reaction proceeds solely by the attack of the primary amino group.
