Isomerization of perchlorohexatriene in three consecutive rearrangements to perchloro-2-vinylbutadiene
2017
Perchlorohexatriene isomerizes in three subsequent rearrangements to perchloro-2-vinylbutadiene. A radical-induced Z-E-equilibration of linear perchlorohexatrienes is followed by cyclization to a methylenecyclopentene. Under flash-vacuum pyrolysis conditions, a ring contraction to 1,2-dimethylenecyclobutane occurs. In the condensed phase, a radical-induced ring opening generates the branched perchloro-vinylbutadiene. All compounds are converted to hexachlorobenzene, but only at very high temperatures.
Synthesis and solid state structure for a series of poly(1-pyrrolylmethyl)benzene derivatives. Control of the interplaying π–π and C–H⋯π interactions?
2006
The syntheses of new hexa- and 1,2,4,5-tetra-1-pyrrolylmethyl-benzene (1 and 2, respectively) compounds and their crystal structures, along with those for the related disubstituted o-, m- and p-di-1-pyrrolylmethyl-benzene (3–5) derivatives are reported. The arrangements of molecules in the 1-D structure for 2–5 are controlled by the interplay of two different weak interactions: π–π and C–H⋯π (Ph) interactions. The absence of such interactions in the packing of 1 seems to be related to the arrangement of the pyrrolylmethyl arms with respect to the benzene core, which prevents the π cloud of the aromatic ring to be part of any intermolecular interaction. In addition, C–H⋯π (pyrrolyl) interact…
Metal Complexes of Two Specific Regions of ZnuA, a Periplasmic Zinc(II) Transporter from Escherichia coli
2020
The crystal structure of ZnZnuA from Escherichia coli reveals two metal binding sites. (i) The primary binding site, His143, is located close the His-rich loop (residues 116-138) and plays a significant role in Zn(II) acquisition. (ii) The secondary binding site involves His224. In this work, we focus on understanding the interactions of two metal ions, Zn(II) and Cu(II), with two regions of ZnuA, which are possible anchoring sites for Zn(II): Ac-115MKSIHGDDDDHDHAEKSDEDHHHGDFNMHLW145-NH2 (primary metal binding site) and Ac-223GHFTVNPEIQPGAQRLHE240-NH2 (secondary metal binding site). The histidine-rich loop (residues 116-138) has a role in the capture of zinc(II), which is then further deliv…
Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Two Novel Cyanido-Bridged Heterotrimetallic {CuIIMnIICrIII} Complexes
2017
The self-assembly process between the heteroleptic [CrIII(phen)(CN)4]− and [CrIII(ampy)(CN)4]− metalloligands and the heterobimetallic {CuII(valpn)MnII}2+ tecton afforded two heterotrimetallic complexes of formula [{CuII(valpn)MnII(μ-NC)2CrIII(phen)(CN)2}2{(μ-NC)CrIII(phen)(CN)3}2]·2CH3CN (1) and {[CuII(valpn)MnII(μ-NC)2CrIII(ampy)(CN)2]2·2CH3CN}n (2) [phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, ampy = 2-aminomethylpyridine, and H2valpn = 1,3-propanedyilbis(2-iminomethylene-6-methoxyphenol)]. The crystal structure of 1 consists of neutral CuII2MnII2CrIII4 octanuclear units, where two [Cr(phen)(CN)4]− anions act as bis-monodentate ligands through cyanide groups toward two manganese(II) ions from two [CuII(v…
A two-dimensional coordination polymer constructed from binuclear copper(II) metalloligands and manganese(II) ions: Synthesis, crystal structure and …
2016
Abstract The self-assembly process between the binuclear [Cu2(HL)(L)]− complex and the manganese(II) ion affords a two-dimensional coordination polymer of formula [Mn{Cu2(HL)(L)}2(H2O)2]n (1) (H3L = 3-hydroxyiminomethylsalicylic acid) where parallel ladder-like motifs of defective double cubanes of bis(phenoxo)dicopper(II) units as rods and anti-syn carboxylato bridges as rungs act as ligands towards tetraaqua-manganese(II) entities through the deprotonated oxime groups. The topology of 1 is compared with the one of another compound, [Mn{Cu2(HL)(L)}2(H2O)4]·4H2O·2DMF (1′) which was obtained in different conditions by Okawa et al. (J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. (2001) 3119). Magnetic suscepti…
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a cyanide-bridged heterometallic {CoIIMnIII} chain
2017
The assembly reaction between the low-spin [CoII(dmphen)(CN)3]- metalloligand and the [MnIII(salen)(H2O)]+ complex cation yielded the one-dimensional compound {[MnIII(salen)(μ-NC)2CoII(dmphen)(CN)]·2H2O}n (1), which behaves as a ferrimagnetic chain, the intrachain magnetic coupling being J = -1.71(1) cm-1.
Synthesis and in vitro biological evaluation of novel diaminothiophene scaffolds as antitumor and anti-influenza virus agents. Part 2
2017
On the basis of high-throughput screening, fragment-based drug discovery, structure–activity relationships and building block analysis methods, herein we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel series of diethyl 2,5-diaminothiophene-3,4-dicarboxylate derivatives. All of the prepared Schiff bases (with mono-, di- and poly-substituents at the aromatic portion), mono- and bis-amides of diethyl 2,5-diaminothiophene-3,4-dicarboxylate, were evaluated against various human cancer and non-cancerous (only for active compounds) cell lines, as well as influenza A (subtypes FM/1/47/H1N1, hanfang/359/95/H3N2) and B (subtype jifang/13/97) viruses. The obtained results suggest that some …
Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies of poly(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins
2011
Abstract The synthesis and electrochemical characterization of two related series of porphyrins bearing diethoxyphosphoryl groups are reported. One group of compounds is represented as (T( p -R)PP)M where R = phos = P(O)(OEt) 2 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 while the other is represented as (di( p -R)Pdi(phos)P)M where R = P(O)(OEt) 2 , H or CH 3 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 . Each porphyrin was investigated by electrochemistry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry in CH 2 Cl 2 , CDCl 3 , CHCl 3 or PhCN containing tetra- n -butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte. The highly electron-withdrawing P(O)(OEt) 2 groups lead to easier reductions and harder oxidations than the two comparison …
Molecular materials based upon organic π-donors and magnetic anions
2000
Electrochemical combination of the magnetic dinuclear anion [MM'(C 2 O 4 )(NCS) 8 ] 4- (MM' = CrCr, CrFe) or paramagnetic mononuclear anion [Cr(NCS) 6 ] 3- with the ET organic π-donor (ET = BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) gives rise to two new series of molecular hybrid salts formulated (ET) 5 [MM'(C 2 O 4 )(NCS) 8 (MM' = CrCr (1), CrFe (2)), (ET) 8 [MM'(C 2 O 4 )(NCS) 8 ] (3), (ET) 5.5 f Cr(NCS) 6 ] (4) and (ET) 5 [(C 2 H 5 ) 4 N] [Cr(NCS) 6 ](THF) (5) (THF = tetrahydrofuran). The crystal structures consist of alternating organic and inorganic layers. The organic part does not produce any detectable effect on the magnetic properties coming from the inorganic sublattice. T…
Determining Factors for the Unfolding Pathway of Peptides, Peptoids, and Peptidic Foldamers.
2016
We present a study of the mechanical unfolding pathway of five different oligomers (α-peptide, β-peptide, δ-aromatic-peptides, α/γ-peptides, and β-peptoids), adopting stable helix conformations. Using force-probe molecular dynamics, we identify the determining structural factors for the unfolding pathways and reveal the interplay between the hydrogen bond strength and the backbone rigidity in the stabilization of their helix conformations. On the basis of their behavior, we classify the oligomers in four groups and deduce a set of rules for the prediction of the unfolding pathways of small foldamers.
