Patent number: 5614596Abstract: A process for the preparation of polymetallooxanes employing inexpensive metal sources such as sand, alumina, and rutile involves dissolving one or more group IIIa, IVa, IVb metaloxy compounds such as metal oxides, metal hydroxides, or hydrates thereof with a di- or polyhydroxyl functional compound in the presence of an amine or alkanolamine. The polymetallooxane products are anionic, neutral, or mixed neutral/anionic moieties, which, when anionic, contain a metallic counterion (cation) or an ammonium or phosphonium ion. Mixed polymetallooxanes, as well as homo polymetallooxanes which may be prepared by the subject process, are suitable for use in preparing coatings, fibers, powders, ceramics, and glasses while being easily processable and economic to manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1995Date of Patent: March 25, 1997Assignee: Regents of University of MichiganInventors: Richard M.

Patent number: 5493012Abstract: A silyloxy aromatic derivative capable of alkylating a target biological molecule when activated by ionic strength. A sequence directed reagent may be constructed by conjugating a methyl silyloxy aromatic derivative to a hexamethyiamino linker attached to either the 5' or 3' terminus of an oligonucleotide. Annealing this modified fragment of DNA to its complementary sequence allows for target modification subsequent to ionic activation. The product of this reaction is a covalent crosslink between the reagent and target strands resulting from an alkylation of DNA by the activated silyloxy aromatic derivative. In a preferred embodiment, a nitrophenyl or bromo group is attached to a methyl group of the silyloxy aromatic derivative. This reagent may be similarly linked to an oligonucleotide probe. Activation of the alkylating agent by an ionic signal (X) which may naturally occur, or may be introduced into the media containing the target molecule, such as by the introduction of a salt (MX).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1993Date of Patent: February 20, 1996Assignee: The Research Foundation of State University of New YorkInventors: Steven E.
