Diffusion of ionic and non-ionic contrast agents in articular cartilage with increased cross-linking--contribution of steric and electrostatic effect…
2013
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of threose-induced collagen cross-linking on diffusion of ionic and non-ionic contrast agents in articular cartilage. Design Osteochondral plugs (O=6mm) were prepared from bovine patellae and divided into two groups according to the contrast agent to be used in contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) imaging: (I) anionic ioxaglate and (II) non-ionic iodixanol. The groups I and II contained 7 and 6 sample pairs, respectively. One of the paired samples served as a reference while the other was treated with threose to induce collagen cross-linking. The equilibrium partitioning of the contrast agents was imaged after 24h of immersion. Fixed char…
Catecholato complexes of o-phenylenebis(salicylideneiminato)iron(III) and meso-tetra(parasulphonatephenyl)porphyrinatoferrate(III). A comment on the …
1986
Abstract Formation of catecholato complexes of Fe(saloph) + and Fe(TPPS) 3− in solution is studied. Fe(saloph)(cat) − contains a cat 2− bidentate ligand. Its formation in solution competes efficiently with the hydrolysis and dimerization of Fe(saloph) + to give Fe 2 (saloph) 2 O. This behaviour shows that the planar saloph 2− ligand, as the analogous salen 2− , is easily distorted, and is not as rigid as generally considered. Iron(III) porphyrin Fe(TPPS) 3− with catechol gives the complex [Fe(TPPS)(Hcat)] 4− . Deprotonation of the unidentate Hcat − ligand cannot be studied because the smaller stability of the complex, and the dimerization of the metalloporphyrin dominates in basic medium. T…
Studies on DNA interaction of organotin(IV) complexes of meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine that show cellular activity.
2016
PubMedID: 27393277 The interaction of the diorgano- and triorganotin(IV) derivatives of meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (Me2Sn)2TPPS, (Bu2Sn)2TPPS, (Me3Sn)4TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS to natural DNA was analysed (together with free meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS4 -) for comparison purposes). Particular attention was paid to (Bu3Sn)4TPPS, a species that shows significant cellular action. Preliminary tests were done on the solution properties of the organotin(IV) compounds (pKA and possible self-aggregation). Spectrophotometric and spectrofluorometric experiments showed that all the investigated organotin(IV) derivatives strongly interact with DNA, the binding energy depending …
Photochemical Generation of Cyclophanes from 1,3,5-Trisubstituted Benzenes with Chalcone Chromophores
2007
(E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tricinnamoylbenzene (7a) photodimerizes in solution to the [4.4.4](1,3,5)cyclophane 8a. The process consists of three consecutive steps in which cisoid enone conformations of 7a react in regio- and stereoselective anti-head-to-head cycloadditions. (E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tris(3-oxo-3-phenylpropenyl)benzene (13a), an isomer of 7 with reversed enone units, shows a single [2π+2π] cycloaddition of the same type. Due to steric reasons, it is afterwards not capable of intramolecular processes and oligomerizes by intermolecular photocycloadditions. Photolyses in the crystalline state yield dimers by topochemically controlled syn-head-to-tail processes (7a → 10a, 13a → 15a). An efficient dimeri…
Insertion Reactions of Neutral Phosphidozirconocene Complexes as a Convenient Entry into Frustrated Lewis Pair Territory
2016
International audience; Neutral phosphidozirconocene complexes [Cp2Zr(PR2)Me] (Cp=cyclopentadienyl; 1a: R=cyclohexyl (Cy); 1b: R=mesityl (Mes); 1c: R=tBu) undergo insertion into the Zr-P bond by non-enolisable carbonyl building blocks (O=CRR), such as benzophenone, aldehydes, paraformaldehyde or CO2, to give [Cp2Zr(OCRRPR2)Me] (3-7). Depending on the steric bulk around P, complexes 3-7 react with B(C6F5)(3) to give O-bridged cationic zirconocene dimers that display typical frustrated Lewis pair (FLP)/ambiphilic ligand behaviour. Thus, the reaction of {[Cp2Zr(-OCHPhPCy2)][MeB(C6F5)(3)]}(2) (10a) with chalcone results in 1,4 addition of the Zr+/P FLP, whereas the reaction of {[Cp2Zr(-OCHFcPCy…
Role of Halide Ion in the Mechanism of Protonolysis of the Pt-C Bond in Pt(II) Alkyl and Aryl Complexes.
1985
Abstract A mechanistic study is described for the electrophilic cleavage of the Pt C σ bond in complexes cis -[PtPh 2 (PEtPh 2 ) 2 ] and trans -[PtXR(PEt 3 ) 2 ] (X = Cl and Br, R = Me, Et, n-Pr, n-Bu, CH 2 Ph) by the proton in the presence of halide ions in aqueous methanol (MeOH/H 2 O, 91v/v) which yields cis -[PtClPh(PEtPh 2 ) 2 ] and trans -[PtX 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ], respectively. The reactions are first-order in substrate for both systems and the general bivariate rate law k obs = [H + ]{ k H + k x K [[X − ]}/(1 + K [[X − ]) is obeyed. The proposed mechanism involves a fast pre-equilibrium formation (K) of a platinum(II) anionic intermediate via interaction of the halide with the square-plan…
Comparison of calculated DFT/B3LYP and experimental 13C and 17O NMR chemical shifts, ab initio HF/6-31G* optimised structures, and single crystal X-r…
2003
Abstract Single crystal X-ray structures (monoclinic space group P2 1 ) for methyl 3-oxo-5β-cholan-24-oate and methyl 3,12-dioxo-5β-cholan-24-oate have been solved and compared with HF/6-31G* optimised structures. In the crystalline packings the side chains are connected with weak OC(sp 3 ) H ⋯ O -type of interactions between C25– H and C24– O –C25 and the keto ends with weak C(sp 3 ) H ⋯ O C-type of interactions between C4– H and O C3. The orientations of the side chains, which steric configurations are of great importance to the biological activity of the molecules, are compared with the experimental structure of methyl 3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oate. Probable reasons for the observed dif…
Comparison and Rationalization of Droperidol Isostructural Solvate Stability: An Experimental and Computational Study
2014
In order to find a tool for comparison of solvate stability and to rationalize their relative stability, droperidol nonstoichiometric isostructural solvates were characterized experimentally and computationally. For the experimental evaluation of stability, three comparison tools were considered: thermal stability characterized by the desolvation rate, desolvation activation energy, and solvent sorption–desorption isotherms. It was found that the desolvation process was limited by diffusion, and the same activation energy values were obtained for all of the characterized solvates, while the solvent content in the sorption isotherm was determined by the steric factors. Therefore, the only cr…
Einfluß sterischer Hinderung auf den Abbau von Ciclacillin und Ampicillin
1981
Kinetische Untersuchungen der Reaktivitat von Aminopenicillinen belegen bei Ciclacillin eine sterische Hinderung der α-Aminogruppe der Phenylacetamido-Seitenkette. Vergleichende Haltbarkeitsuntersuchungen an Arzneizubereitungen von Ciclacillin und Ampicillin ergaben, das die aus der sterischen Hinderung resultierende hohere Stabilitat von Ciclacillin auch bei Injektions-Losungen, Suspensionen sowie eingeschrankt bei Pulvern und Tabletten nachweisbar ist. Influence of Steric Hindrance on the Degradation of Ciclacillin and Ampicillin Kinetic measurements of the reactivity of aminopenicillins demonstrated steric hindrance of the side chain amino group of ciclacillin. Comparative stability meas…
Dinitrogen complexation with main group radicals
2011
In this report we present data from hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy (HYSCORE), an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic technique, that reveals weak but distinct interactions between several main group element radicals and physically dissolved dinitrogen in solution. These interactions are the basis for a well-defined coordination of N2 to the paramagnetic centers. The complexes formed are primarily of the van der Waals-type but also feature a non-negligible orbital overlap between dinitrogen and the radicals' SOMO. Our spectroscopic findings are strongly supported by experiments with isotope-labeled 15N2, spectral simulations and quantum chemical and density funct…
