- In-source laser spectroscopy has been performed at CERN-ISOLDE with the RILIS laser ion source on 191-204,206,208-211,216,218Po. New information on the β decay of 199Po were extracted in the process, challenging previous results. Large-scale atomic calculations were performed to extract the changes in the mean-square charge radius δr 2 from the isotope shifts. The δ«r» 2 for the even-A isotopes reveal a large deviation from the spherical droplet model for N < 116.

- In-source resonant ionization laser spectroscopy of the even-A polonium isotopes Po-192-210,Po-216,Po-218 has been performed using the 6p(3)7s S-5(2) to (6)p(3)7p P-5(2) (lambda = 843.38 nm) transition in the polonium atom (Po-I) at the CERN ISOLDE facility. The comparison of the measured isotope shifts in Po200-210 with a previous data set allows us to test for the first time recent large-scale atomic calculations that are essential to extract the changes in the mean-square charge radius of the atomic nucleus. When going to lighter masses, a surprisingly large and early departure from sphericity is observed, which is only partly reproduced by beyond mean field calculations.

- Complementary studies of Pb-191 have been made in the beta decay of Bi-191 at LISOL (CRC) and in the alpha decay of Po-195 at ISOLDE (CERN). Fine structures in the alpha decay of the low-spin and high-spin isomers of 195Po have been fully resolved. Identification of the parent state is made possible via isomer selection based on narrow-band laser frequency scanning. The alpha-particle and gamma-ray energies have been determined with greater precision. New alpha-particle and. gamma-ray energies are identified. Branching ratios in the decay of Po-195 and Pb-191 have been examined.

K+ Channel Mutations in Adrenal Aldosterone-Producing Adenomas and Hereditary Hypertension

- Endocrine tumors such as aldosterone-producing adrenal adenomas (APAs), a cause of severe hypertension, feature constitutive hormone production and unrestrained cell proliferation; the mechanisms linking these events are unknown. We identify two recurrent somatic mutations in and near the selectivity filter of the potassium (K+) channel KCNJ5 that are present in 8 of 22 human APAs studied. Both produce increased sodium (Na+) conductance and cell depolarization, which in adrenal glomerulosa cells produces calcium (Ca2+) entry, the signal for aldosterone production and cell proliferation. Similarly, we identify an inherited KCNJ5 mutation that produces increased Na+ conductance in a Mendelian form of severe aldosteronism and massive bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. These findings explain pathogenesis in a subset of patients with severe hypertension and implicate loss of K+ channel selectivity in constitutive cell proliferation and hormone production.

- A novel and convenient protocol for the synthesis of N-cyanobenzamides starting from readily available aryl halides and cyanamide via palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation has been developed. The protocol utilizes Mo(CO)6 as the CO source or CO(gas) and affords the desired N-cyanobenzamides in moderate to good yields.

- The reaction mechanism of palladium(II)-catalyzed decarboxylative addition of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid to acetonitrile was investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Calculations of the free energy profile for decarboxylation and carbopalladation indicated carbopalladation as the rate-determining step of the reaction. Investigation of the free energy profile for a series of experimentally evaluated nitrogen-based bidentate palladium ligands revealed that higher energy is required for decarboxylation and carbopalladation employing the experimentally least efficient ligand. The DFT investigation also showed that the relative free energies of the transition states were lowered in polar solvent, and preparative experiments confirmed that a nonoptimal ligand could be greatly improved by addition of water to the reaction system.
