Singlet and triplet energy transfer rate acceleration by additions of clusters in supramolecular pigment-organometallic cluster assemblies
2011
Both S(1) and T(1) energy transfer rates (porphyrin → cluster) increase from mono- to di- to tetracarboxylate[tetraphenyl-(zinc)porphyrin] adducts with [Pd(3)(dppm)(3)(CO)](2+) clusters.
Preparation and reactivity of 1,2-bis(imino)ethylpalladium(II) complexes
1982
Abstract The 1,2-bis(imino)ethylpalladium complex, t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N R ) ︹ C H = N R } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] (R =p-C6H4OMe, DABI) can be prepared by treatment of [Pd(PPh3)4] with two equivalents of CNC6H4OMe-p followed by slow addition of HCl at −70° C. The σ-bonded 1,2-bis(imino) group can be easily monoprotonated and undergoes acid hydrolysis to give the α-aldehydoimidoyl derivative t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N R ) ︹ C H = O } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] . Condensation of the aldehydic carbonyl group with methylamine yields the product t r a n s − [ P d C I { C ( = N C 6 H 4 O M e − p ) ︹ C H = N M e } ( P P h 3 ) 2 ] , DABII, with different substituents on the N-imino atoms. Substitution …
A Germanium Isocyanide Complex Featuring (n -> π*) Back-Bonding and Its Conversion to a Hydride/Cyanide Product via C–H Bond Activation under Mild Co…
2012
Reaction of the diarylgermylene Ge(Ar(Me(6)))(2) [Ar(Me(6)) = C(6)H(3)-2,6-(C(6)H(2)-2,4,6-(CH(3))(3))(2)] with tert-butyl isocyanide gave the Lewis adduct species (Ar(Me(6)))(2)GeCNBu(t), in which the isocyanide ligand displays a decreased C-N stretching frequency consistent with an n → π* back-bonding interaction. Density functional theory confirmed that the HOMO is a Ge-C bonding combination between the lone pair of electrons on the germanium atom and the C-N π* orbital of the isocyanide ligand. The complex undergoes facile C-H bond activation to produce a new diarylgermanium hydride/cyanide species and isobutene via heterolytic cleavage of the N-Bu(t) bond.
Photoinduced Formation Mechanism of the Thymine−Thymine (6−4) Adduct
2013
The photoinduced mechanism leading to the formation of the thymine-thymine (6-4) photolesion has been studied by using the CASPT2//CASSCF approach over a dinucleotide model in vacuo. Following light absorption, localization of the excitation on a single thymine leads to fast singlet-triplet crossing that populates the triplet (3)(nπ*) state of thymine. This state, displaying an elongated C(4)═O bond, triggers (6-4) dimer formation by reaction with the C(5)═C(6) double bond of the adjacent thymine, followed by a second intersystem crossing, which acts as a gate between the excited state of the reactant and the ground state of the photoproduct. The requirement of localized excitation on just …
Synthesis and reactivity of the novel hydride derivative RhHCl(TIMP3) (HTIMP3 = tris[1-(diphenylphosphino)-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl]methane)
2009
The reaction of HTIMP(3) (HTIMP(3) = tris[1-(diphenylphosphino)-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl]methane) with [RhCl(COD)](2) and Rh(acac)(CO)(2) produces RhHCl(TIMP(3)) (1H) and Rh(TIMP(3))(CO) (2), respectively, both exhibiting tetradentate kappaC,kappa(3)P-coordination of the TIMP(3) moiety. The reaction of RhHCl(TIMP(3)) with nucleophiles (L) in the presence of AgBF(4) or AgPF(6) produces different compounds depending on the nature of L. Indeed, cationic Lewis adducts of formula [RhH(L)(TIMP(3))](+) ((2H+)-(5H+)) are obtained when L is CO, CNCH(2)Ph, pyridine or CH(2)CHCN. On the other hand, when the incoming nucleophile is CH(3)COOH the hydride-free complex [Rh(CH(3)COO)(TIMP(3))](+) ((6+)) is o…
4-Aminopyridinium 4-aminobenzoate dihydrate and 4-aminopyridinium nicotinate.
2009
In the title compounds, 4-aminopyridinium 4-aminobenzoate dihydrate, C(7)H(6)NO(2)(-).C(5)H(7)N(2)(+).2H(2)O, (I), and 4-aminopyridinium nicotinate, C(5)H(7)N(2)(+).C(6)H(4)NO(2)(-), (II), the aromatic N atoms of the 4-aminopyridinium cations are protonated. In (I), the asymmetric unit is composed of two 4-aminopyridinium cations, two 4-aminobenzoate anions and four water molecules, and the compound crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric space group. The two sets of independent molecules of (I) are related by a centre of symmetry which is not part of the space group. In (I), the protonated pyridinium ring H atoms are involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonding with carboxylate O atoms to form an …
Role of Protein Flexibility in Enzymatic Catalysis: Quantum Mechanical−Molecular Mechanical Study of the Deacylation Reaction in Class A β-Lactamases
2002
We present a theoretical study of a mechanism for the hydrolysis of the acyl-enzyme complex formed by a class A beta-lactamase (TEM1) and an antibiotic (penicillanate), as a part of the process of antibiotic's inactivation by this type of enzymes. In the presented mechanism the carboxylate group of a particular residue (Glu166) activates a water molecule, accepting one of its protons, and afterward transfers this proton directly to the acylated serine residue (Ser70). In our study we employed a quantum mechanics (AM1)-molecular mechanics partition scheme (QM/MM) where all the atoms of the system were allowed to relax. For this purpose we used the GRACE procedure in which part of the system …
Thermal and electrochemically assisted Pd-Cl bond cleavage in the d9-d9 Pd2dppm2Cl2 complex by Pd3 dppm3COn+ clusters (n = 2, 1, 0).
2007
A new aspect of reactivity of the cluster [Pd3(dppm)3(micro3-CO)]n+, ([Pd3]n+, n = 2, 1, 0) with the low-valent metal-metal-bonded Pd2(dppm)2Cl2 dimer (Pd2Cl2) was observed using electrochemical techniques. The direct reaction between [Pd3]2+ and Pd2Cl2 in THF at room temperature leads to the known [Pd3(dppm)3(micro3-CO)(Cl)]+ ([Pd3(Cl)]+) adduct and the monocationic species Pd2(dppm)2Cl+ (very likely as Pd2(dppm)2(Cl)(THF)+, [Pd2Cl]+) as unambiguously demonstrated by UV-vis and 31P NMR spectroscopy. In this case, [Pd3]2+ acts as a strong Lewis acid toward the labile Cl- ion, which weakly dissociates from Pd2Cl2 (i.e., dissociative mechanism). Host-guest interactions between [Pd3]2+ and Pd2…
A thermodynamic insight into the recognition of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids in pure water by aza-scorpiand type receptors.
2014
Interactions of different hydrophilic (His, Asp, Glu,) and hydrophobic (Ala, Phe, Tyr, Trp) amino acids in water with a scorpiand aza-macrocycle (L1) containing a pyridine group in the ring and its derivative (L2) bearing a naphthalene group in the tail have been analysed by potentiometric and calorimetric measurements. Theoretical calculations corroborate that major attractive forces that hold the adduct together are hydrogen bonds and salt-bridges, even though other interactions such as π-stacking or NH(+)⋯π may contribute in the case of hydrophobic amino acids and L2. Calorimetric measurements indicate that the interactions between L1 and the different amino acids are principally driven …
Ambident PCN Heterocycles: N- and P-Phosphanylation of Lithium 1,3-Benzazaphospholides
2009
Synthetic and structural aspects of the phosphanylation of 1,3-benzazaphospholides 1(Li), ambident benzofused azaphosphacyclopentadienides, are presented. The unusual properties of phospholyl-1,3,2-diazaphospholes inspired us to study the coupling of 1(Li) with chlorodiazaphospholene 2, which led to the N-substituted product 3. Reaction of 1(Li) with chlorodiphenyl- and chlorodicyclohexylphosphane likewise gave N-phosphanylbenzazaphospholes 4 and 5, whereas with the more bulky di-tert-butyl- and di-1-adamantylchlorophosphanes, the diphosphanes 6 and 7 are obtained; in the case of 7 they are isolated as a dimeric LiCl(THF) adduct. Structural information was provided by single-crystal X-ray d…
