Crystal Engineering Applied to Modulate the Structure and Magnetic Properties of Oxamate Complexes Containing the [Cu(bpca)]+ Cation

2016

This work deals with the crystal engineering features of four related copper(II)-based compounds with formulas {[{Cu(bpca)}2(H2ppba)]·1.33DMF·0.66DMSO}n (2), [{Cu(bpca)(H2O)}2(H2ppba)] (3), [{Cu(bpca)}2(H2ppba)]·DMSO (4), and [{Cu(bpca)}2(H2ppba)]·6H2O (5) [H4ppba = N,N′-1,4-phenylenebis(oxamic acid) and Hbpca = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide] and how their distinct molecular and crystal structures translate into their different magnetic properties. 2 and 3 were obtained through the hydrolytic reaction of the double-stranded oxamato-based dipalladium(II) paracyclophane precursor of formula [{K4(H2O)2}{Pd2(ppba)2}] (1) with the mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(bpca)(H2O)2]+, either in a water…

Generation and Oligomerization of N-Ferrocenyl Ketenimines via Open-Shell Intermediates

2016

In the presence of oxidant (Ag[SbF6]) and base, N-ferrocenyl thioamide Fc-NHC(S)CH3 (H-1; Fc = Fe(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4)) converts in an unexpected multistep reaction sequence to a novel N,S-heterocyclic ring, which initiates an oligomerization reaction. Key intermediates toward the resulting complicated material are Ag6(1)6 silver clusters of the anionic N,S-chelating ligand 1− and EPR-active piano stool complexes resulting from ring-slipped cyclopentadienyl ligands, as well as electrophilic N-ferrocenyl ketenimine Fc-N═C═CH2 (2) and its ferrocenium cation 2•+ formed by hydrosulfide elimination. Mechanistic insight is achieved using X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry, as well as EPR and NM…

Polyamides 3 containing constant and definite numbers of oxyethylene units were prepared by condensation polymerization of suitable diamines and diesters, both of which containing oxyethylene units. The polymer structure was determined by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Almost all polymers are crystals melting at ≈ 40°C and show a complexation ability towards alkalimetal cations. It was also found that diesters containing oxyethylene units show a higher condensation rate than alkylene diesters, which is explained by an inductive effect of the ether oxygene. However, no remarkable difference in the condensation rate was found between diamines containing oxyethylene units and the corresponding al…

Novel acrylamido monomers with higher hydrophilicity and improved hydrolytic stability: I. Synthetic route and product characterization.

1996

The novel acrylamido monomer reported by our group (N-acryloylaminoethoxyethanol, AAEE; Chiari et al., Electrophoresis 1994, 15, 177-186), found to combine high hydrophilicity with extraordinary resistance to alkaline hydrolysis, has come under closer scrutiny due to unexpected and random autopolymerization while stored as a 1/1 v/v water solution at 4 degrees C (possibly due to a greater oxidability of the ether group). We have additionally found a unique degradation pathway of the monomer, called "1-6 H-transfer", by which the C1 (on the double bond site), by constantly ramming against the C6, next to the ether oxygen (O7, which in fact favors the transfer of the hydrogen atom by C1), pro…

The guanidinium group as a key part of water-soluble polymer carriers for siRNA complexation and protection against degradation.

2014

Here, the preparation of a novel block copolymer consisting of a statistical copolymer N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide-s-N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide and a short terminal 3-guanidinopropyl methacrylamide block is reported. This polymer structure forms neutral but water-soluble nanosized complexes with siRNA. The siRNA block copolymer complexes are first analyzed using agarose gel electrophoresis and their size is determined with fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The protective properties of the polymer against RNA degradation are investigated by treating the siRNA block copolymer complexes with RNase V1. Heparin competition assays confirm the efficient release of the cargo in vi…

Synthesis of CO2-responsive polymers by post-polymerization modification

2014

Abstract We describe a general method to synthesize a double responsive polymer, exhibiting a temperature and CO 2 responsive behavior. The polymer derived from a controlled radical polymerization technique of pentafluorophenyl acrylate (PFPA), followed by a sequential post-polymerization modification of a CO 2 responsive- and thermo-responsive amines. Utilizing this approach three double responsive copolymers were synthesized, poly(3- N′,N′ -dimethylaminopropyl acrylamide- co - N -isopropyl acrylamide) (poly(DMPA- co -NIPAM)), poly( L -Arginine methyl ester acrylamide- co - N -isopropyl acrylamide) (poly(AME- co -NIPAM)) and poly( L -Arginine methyl ester acrylamide- co - N -cyclopropyl ac…

Optically active polyamides with regular structural sequences have been prepared from L-lysine and adipic acid. A novel optically active symmetrical diamine, N.N'-bis(L-5-amino-5-carboxyl-amyl)adipamide, was obtained by treating L-lysine with adipyl chloride in the presence of copper(II) ions. The interfacial polycondensation of this diamine with adipyl chloride afforded a regular polymer, while the polycondensation of L-lysine with adipyl chloride gave an irregular polymer of the same analytical composition. The melting points, optical rotations and the optical rotatory dispersions of these polymers were investigated. Optisch aktive Polyamide mit regelmasiger Struktur wurden aus L-Lysin un…

Abstract Ionizing radiation damages cells via direct ionization of DNA and other cellular targets as well as by indirect effects through reactive oxygen species. The response to radiation exposure depends on the cell type and dose of radiation, inherent tissue sensitivity and repair, and modulating intracellular factors that include cell cycle status, O2 pressure, and levels of thiols and other antioxidants. Potentially protective agents against exposure to harmful radiation have been investigated for decades. However, no ideal radioprotector is currently available. A wide range of phytochemicals are antioxidants and, thus, potentially radioprotective. Topical administration of Pterostilben…

Crystal structure analysis of supramolecular arrangements in bis(1-isoquinolinecarboxamide)alkanes and their Ag(i) complexes

2017

A homologous series of bis(1-isoquinolinecarboxamide)alkane derivatives (3a–f) with two to seven carbon atoms in the alkyl bridge and their Ag(I) complexes (4a–f) have been synthesized. Four ligand and five Ag(I) complex crystal structures were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction and analyzed in terms of: a) their structural patterns based on intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds which were compared to those of bis(2-quinolinecarboxamide)alkanes (1n) and bis(6-quinolinecarboxamide)alkanes (2n) attending to specific geometrical parameters and b) the Ag(I) coordinate bond effect on these patterns and the amide-to-amide hydrogen bonds. The crystal structures of the ligands 3a, 3c, …

Structural Characterization of Glycoconjugate Polystyrene in Aqueous Solution

1999

Maltopentaose-carrying polystyrene was synthesized by the homopolymerization of vinylbenzyl maltopentaose amide. Resulted amphiphilc polymacromonomer was dissolved in 0.1 M urea aqueous solution, and its structure was characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering and molecular modeling. Maltopentaose-carrying polystyrene polymacromonomer was found to be represented by a molecular bottlebrush, composed of a large helix of polystyrene backbone and maltopentaose brushes. The molecular bottlebrush seems to be distributed randomly or many even be broken once or twice in segments with no apparent intersegmental spatial correlation. A large helix of polystyrene backbone is formed by a random seque…
