Diffuse-reflectance spectra show that the metal-thioether interaction is associated with smaller electronic band gaps of the solid-state networks.

All these systems have a pyridil-thioether-containing macrocycles as a binding site and an anthracene moiety as a signaling agent.

Conversion of the thioether linkage of the prototype [It is reported prior to this communication as a consecutive series.

These fragments specifically resulted from the cleavage of both a backbone amine bond and the thioether bond in a lanthionine bridge.

More importantly, the thioether linkage provides a means to position functional groups to interact specifically with opposing complementary (target) sequences.

Each QM rapidly formed a thioether derivative of cysteine with little or no competition from the addition of water (hydration).

Contrary to what has been widely thought, thioether-heme ligation was found not to increase inhibitor potency, illustrating the intrinsic weakness of the thioether-ferric heme linkage.

Depolymerization with benzylmercaptan resulted in epicatechin thioether as the major product, and the mean degree of polymerization was determined to be 6.6.

G1TE consists of 10 amino acids and a C-terminal Cys cyclized through its side-chain sulfur atom by a thioether linkage to its N terminus.

We also report the experimental studies that extend the substrate scope of alkenes to ethyl vinyl ethers and thioethers.
