The dynamics of (57)Fe nuclei in Fe(III)-DNA condensates.

Abstract The dynamics of iron nuclei in the condensates obtained by interaction of Fe III with DNA, Fe III (DNA monomer) 2 , have been investigated by variable temperature 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. Studies were effected on gel and freeze-dried samples, obtaining nearly coincident values of the parameters isomer shift and nuclear quadrupole splitting in T ranges 20–260 K. Functions ln( A T / A 77.3 ) vs. T , here employed to investigate the dynamics of Fe nuclei, showed linear trends in the T ranges 20–150 and 150–260 K, respectively, the latter with larger slopes. Data coincided for gelled and freeze-dried specimens. No variation of δ or Δ E parameters occurred at the two T intervals, w…

The structure and dynamics of Cl-substituted tetraphenyl- and tetrabenzyl-tin(IV)

Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of (o-ClC6H4CH2)4Sn has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Tin is in a slightly distorted environment. The molecular dynamics of (p-ClC6H4)4Sn, (o-ClC6H4)4Sn and (o-ClC6H4CH2)4Sn have been investigated by variable temperature 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy (VTMS). A Debye-solid behaviour has been detected for (p-ClC6H4)4Sn, where, on the other hand, no influence by hydrogen–chlorine interaction on the magnitude of the dynamics data and functions seems to occur. For the o-Cl-substituted derivatives, a non-Debye-solid character could be advanced.

Mono-aryltin(IV) and mono-benzyltin(IV) complexes with pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and 8-hydroxyquinoline. X-ray structure of p-chloro-phenyl-tris(8-quinolinato)tin(IV)·2CHCl3

Abstract Complexes RSn(O2CPy)3·2H2O and RSn(Ox)3, (PyCOOH=pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, HOx=8-hydroxyquinoline, R=o- and p-Tolyl, o- and p-ClC6H4=o- and p-ClPh, o-ClC6H4CH2=o-ClBenzyl; besides, R=Ph in RSn(Ox)3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and determination of molecular weights in CHCl3 solutions. The structure of p-ClPhSn(Ox)3·2CHCl3 has been determined by X-ray diffractometry. The 7-coordinated tin atom of the monomeric compound is in the center of a pentagonal bipyramid formed by (p-ClPh)C and O and N atoms of the chelating Ox− ligands. The latter type of structure would hold for all complexes according to 119Sn Mossbauer (including the determination of th…

The interaction of S,N-coordinated dimethyltin(IV) derivatives with deoxyribonucleic acid: structure and dynamics by119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopy

Complexes Me2SnCl(SPy) and Me2SnCl(SPym) (HSPy = 2-mercaptopyridine; HSPym = 2-mercaptopyrimidine), from ethanol solutions, interact with aqueous calf-thymus DNA yielding condensed phases with probable Me2Sn(SPy,SPym) (DNA monomer) stoichiometries of 1:1; the condensation of DNA is inferred originated from electrostatic bonding between complex cations Me2Sn(SPy,SPym)+ and the phosphate oxygen of the phosphodiester groups. Octahedral-or trigonal-bipyramidal tin environments are inferred from the point-charge model treatment of the 119Sn Mossbauer parameter nuclear quadrupole splitting, considering the bonding by S and N, or only S donor atoms from the ligand, as well as possible coordination…
