A., Dendrou, C. A. Abstract: Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is driven by demyelination, neuroaxonal loss, and mitochondrial damage occurring behind a closed blood-brain barrier (BBB). Patients with progressive MS typically fail to respond to available immunomodulatory drugs that reduce relapses in early disease. This indicates a dire need to identify non-canonical therapeutic avenues to limit neurodegeneration and promote protection and repair. Here, we have employed high-resolution multiomic profiling to characterise the biochemical and metabolic adaptations underpinning MS pathology, as these have been incompletely described but critically, may be amenable to BBB-permeable drug targeting. Using synchrotron radiation (SR)- and focal plane array (FPA)-based Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR), we spatially mapped the biochemical features present in human progressive MS and control post-mortem brain and rare spinal cord tissue. By employing single-nuclear RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics and spatial proteomics to resolve their cellular context, we found that these biochemical features provide a uniquely and highly disease-specific barcode for distinct pathological niches within the tissue. Characterisation of the metabolic processes underpinning these niches revealed an associated re-organisation of the astrocytic landscape in the grey and white matter, with implications for the treatment of progressive MS.

The drugs that were handed out were tested via "FTIR spectrometry and immunoassay, and are free of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, benzodiazepines, and other harmful adulterants." Jeremy Kalicum, DULF organizer, tells Vancouver Is Awesome that “the crisis is unbearable and it is ridiculous that we have to put ourselves at risk to move forward with a commonsense harm reduction principle.”The group spent roughly $3,000 on drugs and distributed it among four groups.

Abstract: Hind-limb unloaded (HU) mouse is a well-recognized model of muscle atrophy; however the molecular changes in the skeletal muscle during unloading are poorly characterized. We have used Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy to evaluate the structure and behavior of signature molecules involved in regulating muscle structural and functional health. The FTIR and the Raman spectroscopic analysis of gastrocnemius muscles was compared between 16-18 weeks old HU c57Bl/6J mice and ground-based controls. The molecular components of the samples were identified by using the FTIR spectra from the control and the unloaded samples. The Raman spectra showed that the signals for asparagine and glutamine were reduced in HU mice, possibly indicating increased catabolism. The peaks for hydroxyproline and proline were split, pointing towards molecular breakdown and reduced tendon repair. We also report a consistently increased intensity in > 1300 cm-1 range in the Raman spectra along with a shift towards higher frequencies in the HU mice, indicating activation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) stress during HU.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.05.284141v1?rss=1 Authors: Shakya, B. R., Teppo, H.-R., Rieppo, L. Abstract: Among skin cancers, melanoma is the lethal form and the leading cause of death in humans. Melanoma begins in melanocytes and is curable at early stages. Thus, early detection and evaluation of its metastatic potential are crucial for effective clinical intervention. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has gained considerable attention due to its versatility in detecting biochemical and biological features present in the samples. Changes in these features are used to differentiate between samples at different stages of the disease. Previously, FTIR spectroscopy has been mostly used to distinguish between healthy and diseased conditions. With this study, we aim to discriminate between different melanoma cell lines based on their FTIR spectra. Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples from three melanoma cell lines (IPC-298, SK-MEL-30 and COLO-800) were used. Statistically significant differences were observed in the prominent spectral bands of three cell lines along with shifts in peak positions. Partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models built for the classification of three cell lines showed accuracies of 96.38 %, 95.96 % and 99.7 %, for the differentiation of IPC-298, SK-MEL-30 and COLO-800, respectively. The results suggest that FTIR spectroscopy can be used to differentiate between genetically different melanoma cells and thus potentially characterize the metastatic potential of melanoma.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.30.229062v1?rss=1 Authors: Mompean, M., McAvan, B. S., Felix, S. S., Trevino, M., Oroz, J., Pantoja-Uceda, D., Cabrita, E. J., Doig, A. J., Laurents, D. V. Abstract: Many intrinsically disordered proteins contain Gly-rich regions which are generally assumed to be disordered. Such regions often form biomolecular condensates which play essential roles in organizing cellular processes. However, the bases of their formation and stability are still not completely understood. Considering NMR studies of the Gly-rich H. harveyi "snow flea" antifreeze protein, we recently proposed that Gly-rich sequences, such as the third "RGG" region of Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) protein, may adopt polyproline II helices whose association might stabilize condensates. Here, this hypothesis is tested with a polypeptide corresponding to the third RGG region of FUS. NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that significant populations of polyproline II helix are present. These findings are corroborated in a model peptide Ac-RGGYGGRGGWGGRGGY-NH2, where a peak characteristic of polyproline II helix is observed using CD spectroscopy. Its intensity suggests a polyproline II population of 40%. This result is supported by data from FTIR and NMR spectroscopies. In the latter, NOE correlations are observed between the Tyr and Arg, and Arg and Trp side chain hydrogens, confirming that side chains spaced three residues apart are close in space. Taken together, the data are consistent with a polyproline II helix, which is bent to optimize interactions between guanidinium and aromatic moieties, in equilibrium with a statistical coil ensemble. In cells, the polyproline II population of these peptides could be augmented by binding profilin protein or SH3, WW or OCRE domains, association with RNA or assembly into polyproline II helical bundles. These results lend credence to the hypothesis that Gly-rich segments of disordered proteins may form polyproline II helices which help stabilize biomolecular condensates.

Oskar graduated with his MBA from MIU in Fairfield, Iowa and has always been interested in furthering the use of natural products. “At age 13 I got to know firsthand how primitive our patent medicine system is through losing loved ones - those closest to me. From that moment I swore to make a humble difference. I didn’t know how, until I met Dr. Hulda Clark and then realized how important her work is to the world. She was a pioneer. I vowed to only promote leaders in alternative medicine that have a good track record.” Oskar has always been interested in natural products – and for obvious reasons. He came from a family of six where four out of the six have died relatively young from preventable diseases that were aggravated rather than helped by western medicine. In 2001 he started selling supplements manufactured exclusively by Geoff Clark, Dr. Hulda Clark’s son under the name Self Health Resource Center. In 2006 Geoff sold Source of Health to Oskar with the promise that he would continue manufacturing according to Dr. Hulda Clark's tough standards. Oskar gladly accepted the challenge and since then he has continued to improve on the quality by installing an in-house laboratory which offers real time inspection of all our raw materials and finished goods with conventional lab equipment, such as FTIR, ICP, and microbiology analytical equipment. In order to pay for the investments Oskar started another related business, a contract manufacturing company called “Nutritional Supplement Manufacturers, Inc.” available online at www.PureNSM.com. As CEO Oskar, has received in-depth training in pure production methods from both Dr. Hulda Clark and her son, Geoff Clark, whom he is still in touch with.

In solid-state chemistry, the existence of homonuclear diatomic nitrogen anions has proven existence only very recently, although the latter represent a common and well-characterized structural motif in biological and synthetic chemistry. Thereby, high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) syntheses starting from the elements and using specialized equipments have introduced binary diazenides (M = Sr, Ba, La) and pernitrides (M = Os, Ir, Pd, Pt) with MN2 stoichiometry consisting of [N2]2– and [N2]4– ions, respectively. Nevertheless, synthesis and characterization of only a handful of examples of both materials classes since their identification in 2001 is quite surprising. Within this context, it is likewise remarkable that solids with isoelectronic, homonuclear diatomic ions consisting of elements to the left (carbon) and to the right (oxygen) of nitrogen in the periodic table have already been synthesized and characterized decades ago. Introducing the approach of controlled thermal decomposition of ionic azides of Group I and II metals in a multianvil device at extreme conditions resulted in a renaissance of homonuclear diatomic nitrogen chemistry. This high-pressure route proved as excellent tool for the synthesis of hitherto unknown binary and even ternary materials with homonuclear diatomic nitrogen anions. However, compared to the classification of valencies in bound N2 entities observed in bioinorganic or metal-organic chemistry, their adequate description in solid-state chemistry is hindered due to, for example potential metallicity in such compounds. Nevertheless, by the use of a variety of complementary experimental and theoretical methods, such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), density functional theory (DFT), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic and electron spin resonance spectroscopy (NMR, ESR), the identification of [N2]2- anions in solid-state compounds was possible.

Verfärbt sich die Probe während eines in situ Ramanexperimentes, wird die gemessene Ramanintensität stark abgeschwächt. Um einen Intensitätsvergleich zwischen den zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten erhaltenen Ramanspektren zu ermöglichen, muß daher der Zusammenhang zwischen der Absorption der Proben und der gemessenen Ramanintensität berücksichtigt werden. Für die Abhängigkeit der Ramanintensität ψ∞ und der Reflektivität R der Probe gilt näherungsweise: Ψ∞=ρ I (0 ) s ⋅R ∞(1 R ∞) (1 R ∞)=ρ I (0 ) s ⋅G (R ∞) (= Ramanstreukoeffizient, s= Reflektivitätskonstante, I(0)= Eingestrahlte Lichtintensität) Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Reflektivität R der Probe parallel zum in situ Ramanexperiment, z.B. durch Einkoppelung einer Plasmalinie des Lasers, gemessen wird und die Ramanintensität mit Hilfe der Beziehung G (R ∞)=R ∞(1 R ∞) (1 R ∞)korrigiert wird. Die Funktion G(R ) ist hierbei proportional zur beobachteten Ramanintensität. Da der Ramanstreukoeffizient ρ proportional zu ν 4 ist, kann er durch c ⋅ν 4 ersetzt werden. Wird die Frequenzabhängigkeit von R berücksichtigt, so gibt die Funktion Ψ ∞die Abhängigkeit des Ramanstrahlungsflusses von der verwendeten Erregerfrequenz an: Ψ∞(ν)=c ν 4 I (0 ) s ⋅R ∞(ν)(1 R ∞(ν)) (1 R ∞(ν))=c I (0 ) s ⋅G (R ∞(ν))⋅ν 4 R (ν)kann direkt aus dem UV-vis-Spektrum der Probe erhalten werden. Das Maximum der Funktion Ψ∞(ν)zeigt die erwartete optimale Laserfrequenz an. Zu hohe Laserleistung kann zur Veränderungen der Probe innerhalb des Laserspots führen. Um Artefakte zu vermeiden, sollte die optimale Laserleistung durch Vergleich mehrerer in situ Ramanexperimente bei verschiedenen Laserleistungen ermittelt werden. Zirkondioxid-Proben neigen zu erhöhtem Untergrund in den Ramanspektren. Die physikalischen Ursachen dafür sind weitgehend ungeklärt, es könnte sich aber um einen Streuprozess handeln, der mit dem Hydratisierungsgrad der Probe zu tun hat. Um erhöhten Untergrund zu vermeiden, sollten diese Proben vor jedem Ramanexperiment bei Temperaturen zwischen 673 und 773 K in trockenem Sauerstoff vorbehandelt werden. Die Charakterisierung durch DTA-TG, Ramanspektroskopie, UV-vis, TPR und FTIR am unpromotierten WO3/ZrO2-Katalysator (WZ) bestätigt die in der Literatur beschriebenen Strukturmodelle 9,11,96,103 . . Die Wolframphase liegt nicht als kristallines Wolframtrioxid, sondern als amorphe Oberflächenwolframate vor, wobei die Wolframatome weitgehend verzerrt oktaedrisch koordiniert und über W—O—W-Brücken untereinander verknüpft sind. Diese Spezies sind über W—O—Zr-Brücken mit dem tetragonalen Zirkondioxid-Träger verbunden. W=O-Gruppen kommen ebenfalls vor und sättigen möglicherweise die Valenzen an den Rändern der Oberflächenwolframate. Hochtemperatur-FTIR-Spektroskopie zeigt, daß trotz Dehydratisierung in trockenem Sauerstoff bei 573 K molekulares Wasser auf dem Katalysator verbleibt. ESR-Spektroskopie an der oxidierten WZ-Probe zeigt, abgesehen von Fe 3+ -Verunreinigungen, die im Zirkondioxid-Träger lokalisiert sind, keinerlei paramagnetische Spezies. ESR-Spektroskopie und UV-vis-Spektroskopie zeigen, daß unter Reaktions-temperaturen (> 473 K) durch die Wechselwirkung mit Wasserstoff die WZ-Probe reduziert wird, wobei W 5+ -Zentren entstehen. Es können mehrere W 5+ -Zentren unterschieden werden, wobei ein O2-Adsorptionsexperiment nahelegt, daß zum einen koordinativ ungesättigte oberflächennahe W 5+ -Zentren und zum anderen tiefergelegene W 5+ -Zentren entstehen. Mit steigender Reduktionstemperatur werden zunehmend tiefergelegene W 5+ -Zentren reduziert. In weit geringerem Maße entstehen bei der Reduktion auch Zr 3+ -Zentren. Ramanspektroskopie am mit Wasserstoff reduzierten Katalysator zeigt keine nennenswerten Veränderungen, da bei den verwendeten Reduktionstemperaturen nur eine partielle Reduktion eintritt. FTIR-Spektroskopie am mit Wasserstoff bzw. Deuterium reduzierten Katalysator zeigt die Entstehung von neuen OH- bzw. OD-Gruppen. Tieftemperatur-CO-Adsorption läßt darauf schließen, daß die durch die Reduktion gebildeten OH-Gruppen weniger azide sind als die OH-Gruppen, die vor der Reduktion vorhanden sind. Insgesamt läßt sich sagen, daß die in der Literatur postulierte Bildung von W 5+ -Zentren 11,13,103,116,117 und OH-Gruppen 11,13,103,116,117,118 durch die Wechselwirkung mit Wasserstoff voll bestätigt werden kann. WZ besitzt Aktivität für die Isomerisierung von n-Pentan zu Isopentan, wobei aber neben Isopentan zahlreiche gesättigte und ungesättigte Crack-Produkte entstehen. Es wird der typische, bereits in vorhergehenden Arbeiten beschriebene Aktivitätsverlauf beobachtet. Nach einer Induktionsperiode und einem Aktivitätsmaximum kommt es zur Des-aktivierung und Stabilisierung auf niedrigem Aktivitätsniveau. Die Produktverteilung spricht weder für einen Haag-Dessau-Cracking-Mechanismus noch für einen monomolekularen oder bimolekularen Mechanismus. Eine mögliche Erklärung für das konstante Verhältnis der Entstehungsraten der Nebenprodukte zum Hauptprodukt Isopentan wäre, daß alle Produkte aus der gleichen höhermolekularen Zwischenstufe entstehen und somit alle Produkte über den gleichen Reaktionsweg (Reaktionsweg A) gebildet werden. Dieser Reaktionsweg steht wahrscheinlich mit höhermolekularen organischen Ablagerungen in Zusammenhang, bei denen es sich möglicherweise um Polyalkenyl-Spezies handelt. Die unpromotierte WZ-Probe zeigt Aktivität für die Hydrierung von Propen. Nach dem Prinzip der mikroskopischen Reversibiltät erscheint eine Aktivierung der Alkane durch Dehydrierung an den Wolframaten möglich, wobei das W 5+ /W 6+ -Redoxsystem ausgenutzt wird. Das Zusammenlagern der Alken-Zwischenstufen führt möglicherweise zu den höhermolekularen organischen Ablagerungen, deren langsame Bildung eine Erklärung für die Induktionsperiode wäre. Die Zugabe von Wasserstoff in den Produktstrom führt zu einer Zunahme der Selektivität für Isopentan. Dies ist wahrscheinlich auf die zusätzliche Ermöglichung eines monomolekularen Reaktionsweges (Reaktionsweg B) zurückzuführen. Dieser mono-molekulare Reaktionsweg wird durch die Reduktion der Wolframate durch Wasserstoff im Eduktstrom ermöglicht und führt zur effektiveren Desorption der Alken-Zwischen-stufen. Diese zeigen wegen der verringerten Lebensdauer / Konzentration eine geringere Tendenz, sich zu höhermolekularen Ablagerungen zusammenzuschließen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß bei diesem monomolekularen Reaktionsweg B die Desorption über die Hydrierung des verzweigten Alkens an den Wolframaten, d.h. über den umgekehrten Weg der Aktivierung des linearen Alkans (Dehydrierung), geschieht. Vorreduktion führt zu niedrigerer Aktivität und höherer Selektivität. Es wird keine Induktionsperiode der Gesamtaktivität beobachtet. Bei niedrigen Laufzeiten dominiert wahrscheinlich der monomolekulare Mechanismus (Reaktionsweg B). Der Einfluß des für die Induktionsperiode verantwortlichen Reaktionsweg A ist zu gering, als daß sich die Induktionsperiode auf die Gesamtaktivität auswirken würde. in situ UV-vis-Spektroskopie zeigt, neben starker Verfärbung des Katalysators, Banden organischer Ablagerungen (405, 432, 613 nm), die mit zunehmender Laufzeit stärker werden. Es handelt sich wahrscheinlich um Polyalkenylkationen, die mit dem Reaktionsweg A in Zusammenhang stehen. Die Kettenlänge der Polyalkenylkationen scheint sich mit zunehmender Laufzeit zu vergrößern. in situ Ramanspektroskopie zeigt die Bildung prägraphitischer Ablagerungen. Zunehmende Laufzeit, die Zugabe von Wasserstoff in den Produktstrom sowie Vorreduktion des Katalysators haben keinerlei Einfluß auf die Art der Ablagerungen. Es kann keinerlei Zusammenhang zwischen der beobachteten Aktivität / Selektivität und der Bildung der prägraphitischen Teilchen beobachtet werden. Die beobachteten prägraphitischen Teilchen stehen mit der Isomerisierungsreaktion nicht in Zusammenhang, sondern sind ein Nebenprodukt. Sie tragen möglicherweise, aber nicht ausschließlich, zur Desaktivierung des Katalysators bei. in situ ESR-Spektroskopie zeigt die Bildung von organischen Radikalen sowie von oberflächennahen W 5+ -Zentren nach der Reaktion mit n-Pentan. Die Bildung von organischen Radikalen ist möglicherweise ein Hinweis auf eine schrittweise Oxidation zum Alken. Möglicherweise sind die beobachteten Radikale aber auch auf höhermolekulare, ungesättigte organische Ablagerungen zurückzuführen. Der mit Platin promotierte Katalysator PtWZ wird durch die Wechselwirkung mit Wasserstoff erheblich leichter reduziert. Analog zu der unpromotierten Probe führt die Reduktion der Wolframate zu W 5+ -Zentren und OH-Gruppen. ESR-Spektroskopie zeigt, daß alle bei 673 K reduzierbaren Zentren auch bei Raumtemperatur reduziert werden. Tieftemperatur CO-Adsorption läßt darauf schließen, daß die durch die Reduktion gebildeten OH-Gruppen weniger azide sind als die OH-Gruppen, die vor der Reduktion vorhanden sind. Die Effekte sind darauf zurückzuführen, daß Pt die Reduktion mit Wasserstoff katalysiert, wobei der Wasserstoff dissoziativ auf der Platinoberfläche adsorbiert wird und auf die Wolframate übertritt („Spillover“). Die in der Literatur postulierte erleichterte Reduktion der Wolframate durch Wasserstoff bei der An-wesenheit von Platin unter Bildung von W 5+ -Zentren 11,13,103,116,117 und OH-Gruppen 11,13,103,116,117,118 kann bestätigt werden. PtWZ zeigt bei der Isomerisierung von n-Pentan ohne Wasserstoff eine leicht erhöhte Aktivität gegenüber der unpromotierten Probe WZ. Das verstärkte Auftreten von Alkenen wird auf Nebenreaktionen an den durch das Alkan partiell reduzierten PtOx-Partikeln zurückgeführt (Reaktionsweg C). Die Zugabe von Wasserstoff in den Produktstrom bei der Isomerisierung von n-Pentan an PtWZ führt zu einer ca. 60 mal höheren Aktivität im Vergleich zur maximalen Aktivität von WZ sowie zu Selektivitäten für Isopentan von ca. 95%. Erhöhte Aktivität und Selektivität werden auf das hauptsächliche Vorliegen des selektiv und schnell ablaufenden monomolekularen Reaktionsweges (Reaktionsweg B) zurückgeführt. Die Nebenprodukte entstehen wahrscheinlich durch Hydrogenolyse des n-Pentans an den Platinpartikeln (Reaktionsweg D). Vorreduktion führt zur maximalen Aktivität und Selektivität zu Anfang der Reaktion. Das Experiment bestätigt, daß die Rolle des zugegebenen Wasserstoffs nicht nur in der Reduktion der PtOx-Partikel zu metallischem Platin besteht, sondern daß Wasserstoff eine aktive Rolle bei der Isomerisierung spielt. Durch den Verlust des im System gespeicherten Wasserstoffes werden die Reaktionswege B und D, die an PtWZ in Anwesenheit von Wasserstoff ablaufen, durch die Reaktionswege A und C abgelöst, die an PtWZ in Abwesenheit von Wasserstoff ablaufen. Eisenpromotierung erschwert generell die Reduktion durch Wasserstoff. Die Wolframate der mit Eisen promotierten FeWZ-Katalysatoren (FeWZ(N) und FeWZ(S)) können erst bei einer Reduktionstemperatur von 673 K unter Ausbildung von W 5+ -reduziert werden. Bei einsetzender Reduktion der Wolframate werden die Eisen(III)-Zentren zu niedrigeren Oxidationsstufen reduziert. Es konnten keine Unterschiede im Reduktionsverhalten zwischen der FeWZ(N) und der FeWZ(S)-Probe festgestellt werden. PtFeWZ-Katalysatoren (PtFeWZ(N) und PtFeWZ(S)) werden im Gegensatz zu dem PtWZ-Katalysator bei Raumtemperatur nur in geringem Maße reduziert. Im Gegensatz zu PtWZ, wo bereits bei Raumtemperatur die maximale Intensität des W 5+ -Signals zu beobachten ist, vergrößert sich das Signal mit steigender Reduktionstemperatur. Mit steigender Reduktionstemperatur wird zunehmend Fe 3+ zu niedrigeren Oxidationstufen reduziert. Die erschwerte Reduktion ist wahrscheinlich auf einen kinetischen Effekt zurückzuführen, wobei die Eisenpromotierung einen der Platinpromotierung entgegen-gesetzten Effekt hat und die Reduktion der Wolframate kinetisch hemmt. FeWZ(N) ist unter den gegebenen Reaktionsbedingungen mit oder ohne Zugabe von Wasserstoff nahezu inaktiv. Die beiden PtFeWZ-Proben zeigen ohne Zugabe von Wasserstoff ebenfalls nur geringe Aktivität. Produktverteilung und Aktivitätsverlauf ähneln den bei PtWZ beobachteten. Eisen hat nur einen positiven Effekt auf die Isomeriserung von n-Pentan, wenn sowohl Platin vorhanden ist als auch Wasserstoff in den Produktstrom hinzugegeben wird. Sind diese Bedingungen erfüllt, verbessert Eisenpromotierung die Selektivität der PtFeWZ-Proben. Im Fall der Isomerisierung an PtFeWZ(S) kann zusätzlich zur verbesserten Selektivität eine deutlich erhöhte Aktivität beobachtet werden. Da die Nebenprodukte, die zur Erniedrigung der Selektivität führen, wahrscheinlich durch Hydrogenolyse des n-Pentans auf den Platinpartikeln (Reaktionsweg D) entstehen, wird die Erhöhung der Selektivität gegenüber n-Pentan durch den Einfluß der Eisenpromotierung auf die Platin-partikel erklärt. Möglicherweise hat die Eisenpromotierung Einfluß auf die Dispersion des Platins, oder es bilden sich Fe/Pt-Legierungen bzw. -Verbindungen aus. Die erhöhte Aktivität der PtFeWZ(S)-Probe wird auf einen kooperativen Effekt zwischen den Wolframaten und SO4 2- -Spezies zurückgeführt, die nach der Synthese möglicherweise auf der Oberfläche des PtFeWZ(S)-Katalysators vorhanden sind. Ramanspektroskopie an SZ zeigt den typischen tetragonalen Träger sowie zwei verschiedene Sulfat-Spezies. Zeitabhängige in situ Ramanspektroskopie an SZ während der Isomeriserung von n-Pentan zeigt, daß im Laufe der Reaktion eine dieser Spezies verschwindet. Dies wird auf Reduktion zu H2S durch das eingesetzte Alkan zurückgeführt. Gleichzeitig wird der für diese Proben typische Aktivitätsverlauf (Induktionsperiode, rasche Desaktivierung) beobachtet. Im Gegensatz zu Berichten in der Literatur kann keine Bande bei 1600 cm -1 beobachtet werden, die in dieser Arbeit auf prägraphitische Teilchen zurückgeführt wurde. Geht man davon aus, daß die Isomerisierung an SZ ähnlich wie an WZ abläuft, bestätigt dies, daß es sich bei diesen Spezies um ein Nebenprodukt handelt, das nicht direkt mit der Isomerisierungsreaktion zu tun hat.
