Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of the Redox Behavior of the Heterodichalcogenido Ligands [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]− (E = S, Se): Cyclic Catio…
2008
The two-electron oxidation of the lithium salts of the heterodichalcogenidoimidodiphosphinate anions [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]− (1a, E = S; 1b, E = Se) with iodine yields cyclic cations [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]+ as their iodide salts [(SPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]I (2a) and [(SePiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]I (2b). The five-membered rings in 2a and 2b both display an elongated E−Te bond as a consequence of an interaction between tellurium and the iodide anion. One-electron reduction of 2a and 2b with cobaltocene produces the neutral dimers (EPiPr2NPiPr2Te−)2 (3a, E = S; 3b, E = Se), which are connected exclusively through a Te−Te bond. Two-electron reduction of 2a and 2b with 2 equiv of cobaltocene regenerates the corresp…

Asymmetric [N–I–N]+halonium complexes in solution?
2020
Assessment of the solution equilibria of [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes by ESI-MS and NMR reveals the preference of iodine(I) to form complexes with a more basic pyridine. Mixtures of symmetric [bis(pyridine)iodine(I)]+ complexes undergo statistical ligand exchange, with a predominant entropic driving force favoring asymmetric systems. The influence of ligand basicity, concentration, temperature, and ligand composition is evaluated. Our findings are expected to facilitate the investigations, and the supramolecular and synthetic applications of halonium ions’ halogen bonds. peerReviewed
Ligand exchange among iodine(I) complexes
2022
A detailed investigation of ligand exchange between iodine(I) ions in [N⋯I⋯N]+ halogen-bonded complexes is presented. Ligand exchange reactions were conducted to successfully confirm whether iodine(I) complex formation, via the classical [N⋯Ag⋯N]+ to [N⋯I⋯N]+ cation exchange reaction from their analogous Ag+ complexes, could be determined solely by using 1H NMR spectroscopy. In instances where the formation of the iodine(I) complex was unclear or in low yield by the traditional cation exchange reaction, a ligand exchange reaction was used to form the desired iodine(I) complexes in a quantitative manner. Mixing two homoleptic [N⋯I⋯N]+ iodine(I) complexes in 1 : 1 ratio was found to undergo a…
Dynamics of weak interactions in the ligand layer of meta-mercaptobenzoic acid protected gold nanoclusters Au68(m-MBA)32 and Au144(m-MBA)40
2020
Atomically precise metal nanoclusters, stabilized and functionalized by organic ligands, are emerging nanomaterials with potential applications in plasmonics, nano-electronics, bio-imaging, nanocatalysis, and as therapeutic agents or drug carriers in nanomedicine. The ligand layer has an important role in modifying the physico-chemical properties of the clusters and in defining the interactions between the clusters and the environment. While this role is well recognized from a great deal of experimental studies, there is very little theoretical information on dynamical processes within the layer itself. Here, we have performed extensive molecular dynamics simulations, with forces calculated…
Human disturbance on Polylepis mountain forests in Peruvian Andes
2014
Vuoristot kattavat 20–25 % maapallon pinta-alasta ja niiden alueella kasvaa noin 28 % maapallon metsistä. Vuoristometsät ovat monella tapaa arvokkaita: ne tarjoavat useita ekosysteemipalveluita ja raaka-aineita sekä sisältävät suuren määrän elinympäristöjä ja eliölajeja. Ne ovat kuitenkin myös erittäin haavoittuvaisia. Resurssien optimoimiseksi tutkijat ovat nimenneet maapallolta hotspot-alueita, joilla esiintyy suuri määrä endeemisiä ja uhanalaisia lajeja. Ihmistoiminta vaikuttaa ekosysteemien luonnolliseen tilaan ollen merkittävä uhka hotspot-alueiden lajeille. Lisäksi ekosysteemin pirstaleisuus, laikun koko ja reunavaikutukset voivat vaikuttaa alueen lajirunsauteen ja sukupuuttovauhtiin.…
Redox-aktiiviset siltaavat ligandit lantanoidikomplekseissa
2017
Redox-aktiiviset siltaavat ligandit on mahdollista hapettaa tai pelkistää suhteellisen pysyviksi radikaaleiksi inertissä atmosfäärissä. Siltaavina ligandeina ne voivat koordinoitua kahden tai useamman metalli-ionin välille. Paramagneettiset siltaavat radikaaliligandit ja lantanoidit ovat lupaavia rakenneosia yksittäismolekyylimagneettien valmistuksessa, sillä radikaalien diffuusit spinorbitaalit voivat peittää lantanoidien 4f-orbitaaleja, jolloin muodostuu voimakas vaihtokytkentä lantanoidin ja radikaalin välille. Lantanoidikompleksien magneettisuus syntyy lantanoidi-ionin elektronien, spin-ratakytkennän ja kidekenttäympäristön vuorovaikutuksista ja siihen vaikuttaa ligandien ja metallin vä…
Virtual screening : development of a novel structure-based method
2013
Conclusioni provvisorie (e una postilla piccoliana)
2022
Nel saggio è proposta l'analisi di un luogo singolare delle dimore letterarie: l'andito. Lucio Piccolo dedica a questo ambiente domestico di transizione il secondo componimento di Plumelia e con esso inaugura un nuovo spostamento dalle «cattedrali del verde orlandiano» (Tedesco, 1986) agli interni più intimi della casa. L'autore, attraverso raffinate metafore, delinea precise coordinate spazio-temporali e al contempo descrive, con immagini evanescenti, una condizione di contemplazione e di sospensione che proprio uno studio genetico delle varianti testuali aiuta a decodificare.
Discovery of Retinoic Acid-Related Orphan Receptor γt Inverse Agonists via Docking and Negative Image-Based Screening
2018
Retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) has a vital role in the differentiation of T-helper 17 (TH17) cells. Potent and specific RORγt inverse agonists are sought for treating TH17-related diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type 1 diabetes. Here, the aim was to discover novel RORγt ligands using both standard molecular docking and negative image-based screening. Interestingly, both of these in silico techniques put forward mostly the same compounds for experimental testing. In total, 11 of the 34 molecules purchased for testing were verified as RORγt inverse agonists, thus making the effective hit rate 32%. The pIC50 values for the compounds varied from 4.9 (11 μ…
