Gravedad del hecho, circunstancias del sujeto y finalidad penal: la pena justa
El proceso de individualización de la pena por el delito cometido culmina con una actuación
judicial relativamente discrecional. En lo que ha de ser una discrecionalidad reglada (legalmente explícita
o derivada implícitamente de lo que significa el Derecho penal actual, preventivo y orientado a las consecuencias),
y no ejercicio de pura arbitrariedad, los tribunales han de atender la gravedad del hecho y las
circunstancias de su autor. En este artículo se analizará en el proceso individualizador, los criterios concretos
por considerar y la manera en que ha de motivarse, siempre que se decida judicialmente dicho
proceso.The process of individualization of penalties imposed for the offense ends with a relatively discretionary
prosecution. In what must be a regulated discretion (legally explicit or implicitly derived from
the current preventive and consequence-oriented criminal law), and not an experience of mere arbitrariness
, courts must address the seriousness of the deed and the circumstances of the perpetrator. This paper
analyzes the aim to take into account in the process of individualization of the penalties, the specific criteria
and how to motivate, always, every decision the courts makes
Synthesis and reactivity of new silyl-substituted monocyclopentadienyl molybdenum and tungsten complexes
The functionalized silylated cyclopentadienyl molybdenum and tungsten complexes [MCpCl(CO)3H] (M=Mo, W; CpCl=η5-C5H4SiMe2Cl) are prepared easily from the reaction of [M(CO)3(NCMe)3] with C5H5SiMe2Cl in refluxing THF, via C–H activation and H transfer to the metal centre. Metathetical replacement of hydride by chloride is readily achieved when their methylene chloride solutions are treated with a few milliliters of CCl4 to give the chloro complexes [MCpCl(CO)3Cl] (M=Mo, W). The chloro–molybdenum complexes react with 1/2 equivalent of deoxygenated water to give the corresponding dinuclear complexes [{Mo(CO)3X}2(μ-CpOCp)], (X=H, Cl; CpOCp=η5-C5H4-SiMe2-O-SiMe2-η5-C5H4), whereas their reaction with one equivalent of anhydrous LiOH in toluene leads to selective substitution of the silicon-bonded chlorine atom to give the hydroxo complexes [MoCpOH(CO)3X] (X=H, Cl; CpOH=η5-C5H4SiMe2OH). These hydroxosilyl complexes can be transformed into the dinuclear compounds [{Mo(CO)3X}2(μ-CpOCp)] by heating (50°C, 2 h) or by their reaction with one equivalent of the respective hydrido and chloro derivatives [MoCpCl(CO)3X]. Total decarbonylation of the hydrido compounds results from oxidation with a stoichiometric amount of PCl5 to give the paramagnetic molybdenum(V) and tungsten(V) complexes [MCpClCl4] (M=Mo, W). Reactions of these complexes with one equivalent of NH2R in the presence of NEt3 yield the imido derivatives [MCpCl(NR)Cl2] (M=Mo, R=2,6-Me2-Ph; M=W, R=tBu) and subsequent oxidation of the tungsten complex with 1/2 equivalent of PCl5 gives [WCpCl(NtBu)Cl3]. Reduction of [MoCpClCl4] with two equivalents of Na/Hg gives the dinuclear molybdenum(III) complex [MoCpCl]2(μ-Cl)4. All of the reported compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and 1H- and 13C NMR-spectroscopy.The authors acknowledge DGICYT (project PB92-0178-C) for financial support
Synthesis of degradable cationic carbosilane dendrimers based on Si-O or ester bonds
Several cationic carbosilane dendrimers have been synthesized containing two different types of degradable
bonds: SieO and ester bonds. The first type of systems was prepared by reacting carbosilane
dendrimers containing peripheral SieCl bonds with first generation dendrons presenting a eOH function
at the focal point and amine peripheral functions. The second type of systems was prepared by esterification
between a dendrimer containing acid groups and an alcoholamine. The stability in water of both
types of cationic systems was evaluatedMinisterio de Economía y Empres
Half-sandwich isocyanide, phosphine, methyl and phosphanido pentamethylcyclopentadienylniobium(V) complexes
[NbCp★Cl4] Cp★ = ν5-C5Me5) reacts with one molar equivalent of isocyanides and phosphines to give pseudo-octahedral adducts [NbCp★Cl4·L], (Full-size image (<1 K), 4) and the dinuclear complex [∗[NbCp★Cl4∗]2(μ-dmpe)], 5. Reactions of [NbCp★Cl4] with appropriate amounts of MgClMe yield the correspodning dimethyl [NbCp★Cl2Me2], 6, and tetramethyl [NbCp★Me4], 7 derivatives. Similarly, when [∗[NbCp★Cl3∗2(μ-O)] an and 3 are treated with the alkylating magnesium reagent, [∗[NbCp★Me3∗]2(μ-O)], 8, and [NbCp★Cl3Me(PMe2Ph)], 9, are obtained in high yields. A new phosphanido-niobium(V) complex [NbCp★Cl3(PPh2)] 10, is formed in the reaction of the starting tetrachloro complex with one equivalent of LiPPh2. All the complexes were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and most of them were studied by mass spectrometry
Sulfonate-terminated carbosilane dendron-coated nanotubes: a greener point of view in protein sample preparation
Reduction or removal of solvents and reagents in protein sample preparation is a requirement. Dendrimers can strongly interact with proteins and have great potential as a greener alternative to conventional methods used in protein sample preparation. This work proposes the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with carbosilane dendrons with sulfonate groups for protein sample preparation and shows the successful application of the proposed methodology to extract proteins from a complex matrix. SEM images of nanotubes and mixtures of nanotubes and proteins were taken. Moreover, intrinsic fluorescence intensity of proteins was monitored to observe the most significant interactions at increasing dendron generations under neutral and basic pHs. Different conditions for the disruption of interactions between proteins and nanotubes after protein extraction and different concentrations of the disrupting reagent and the nanotube were also tried. Compatibility of extraction and disrupting conditions with the enzymatic digestion of proteins for obtaining bioactive peptides was also studied. Finally, sulfonate-terminated carbosilane dendron-coated SWCNTs enabled the extraction of proteins from a complex sample without using non-environmentally friendly solvents that were required so far
El órgano de control permanente de la persona jurídica (oficial de cumplimiento) en el marco de la responsabilidad penal corporativa
La nueva responsabilidad penal corporativa incorporada a prácticamente ya todos los ordenamientos penales acude al instrumento de los programas de cumplimiento y a la figura del responsable de cumplimiento para concretar en qué medida dicha responsabilidad puede ser excluida o, al menos, atenuada, El correcto entendimiento de la función de este responsable permite concretar con claridad el alcance, objetivo no, de tal responsabilidad.The new corporate criminal liability incorporated into practically all criminal laws uses the instrument of compliance programs and the figure of the person responsible for compliance to specify the extent to which said liability can be excluded or, at least, attenuated. The function of this person in charge allows to clearly specify the scope of such responsibility
La necesidad de sancionar el peculado en todas sus manifestaciones
Una correcta lucha contra la corrupción requiere la tipificación de determinadas conductas
lesivas de la correcta gestión del presupuesto público. Para ello la mayoría de las legislaciones del mundo
cuenta con preceptos destinados a sancionar la apropiación de caudales públicos. Pero no todas contemplan la administración desleal de los mismos ni, mucho menos, la desviación de fondos públicos. La
sanción de ambas conductas es hoy en día absolutamente necesaria, aunque no suficienteA correct fight against corruption requires the punishment of certain behaviors harmful to
the correct management of the public budget. For this, the majority of laws in the world have provisions
aimed at sanctioning the appropriation of public funds. But not all of them contemplate their unfair administration, much less the diversion of public funds. The sanction of both conducts is nowadays absolutely
necessary, although not sufficien
Strategies for penicillin V dendronization with cationic carbosilane dendrons and study of antibacterial properties.
Strategies to synthesize a cationic carbosilane dendron containing the antibiotic penicillin V potassium salt (PenVK) at the focal point are discussed. The preparation of such a compound requires the use of systems with no donor atoms such as N or S in their framework, because their presence favours the rupture of the penicillin beta-lactam ring. The antibacterial activity of the new dendron containing ammonium groups, at the periphery, and the PenV moiety, at the focal point, against gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus strains was evaluated. These results were compared with those obtained for free PenVK, a related cationic dendron without a penicillin moiety at the focal point, and also compared with an equimolar mixture of this last dendron with free PenV. The data obtained indicate that, on one hand, the conjugation or interaction of PenV with cationic dendrons reduces its activity in comparison with free PenVK. On the other hand, the penicillin dendron is able to release the antibiotic in the presence of esterease, due to the breaking of the ester bond in this derivative.Ministerio de Economía y Empres
Screening of the quantum-confined Stark effect in AlN/GaN nanowire superlattices by Germanium doping
We report on electrostatic screening of polarization-induced internal
electric fields in AlN/GaN nanowire heterostructures with Germanium-doped GaN
nanodiscs embedded between AlN barriers. The incorporation of Germanium at
concentrations above shifts the photoluminescence
emission energy of GaN nanodiscs to higher energies accompanied by a decrease
of the photoluminescence decay time. At the same time, the thickness-dependent
shift in emission energy is significantly reduced. In spite of the high donor
concentration a degradation of the photoluminescence properties is not
observed.Comment: Manuscript including Supplemental material (15 pages, 5 figures
