Unraveling the packing pattern leading to gelation using SS NMR and X-ray diffraction: direct observation of the evolution of self-assembled fibers
2010
A detailed understanding of the mode of packing patterns that leads to the gelation of low molecular mass gelators derived from bile acid esters was carried out using solid state NMR along with complementary techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). Solid state 13C{1H} cross polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR of the low molecular mass gel in its native state was recorded for the first time. A close resemblance in the packing patterns of the gel, xerogel and bulk solid states was revealed upon comparing their 13C{1H}CPMAS NMR spectral pattern. A doublet r…
N,N-Di-n-octyl-N,N-dimethyl and N,N-di-n-nonyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium cholates: 13C and 15N CPMAS NMR, powder X-ray diffraction and thermoanalytical c…

Abstract N,N-Di-n-octyl-N,N-dimethyl cholate (1) and N,N-di-n-nonyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonium cholate (2) have been prepared by crystallization from equimolar mixtures of sodium cholate and quaternary N,N-di-n-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl (n-octyl or n-nonyl) ammonium bromides. The formed crystalline materials have been structurally characterized by 13C and 15N cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermoanalytical (TGA/DTA and DSC) methods and compared with each other. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of 1 and 2 reveal clear similarities. Combined with the thermoanalytical data of these structures an existence of two hydrated polymorphs (most probably …
Secondary interactions as driving force in heterocomplex formation of 2,7-disubstituted-1,8-naphthyridines: Quantum chemical, NMR and mass spectral i…
2009
Abstract Tautomerism and dimerization of 2,7-disubstituted-1,8-naphtyridines has been studied theoretically by quantum chemical methods and experimentally by liquid and solid state NMR and ESI-TOF mass spectral techniques. The heterocomplex formation has been proven in solution by variable temperature 1H NMR and in solid state by 13C CPMAS NMR spectra of a grinded mixture of two congeners. Secondary interactions have been proposed as driving forces in the heterocomplex formation. The energy differences between homo- and heterocomplexes were calculated with recently developed DFT + D methods. The energy data obtained by the quantum chemical methods are in agreement with the concept of second…
