Bridge-Clamp Bis(tetrazine)s with [N] 8 π-Stacking Interactions and Azido- s -Aryl Tetrazines: Two Classes of Doubly Clickable Tetrazines

2020

Click chemistry at a tetrazine core is useful for bioorthogonal labeling and crosslinking. Introduced here are two new classes of doubly clickable s-aryl tetrazines synthesized by Cu-catalyzed cross-coupling. Homocoupling of o-brominated s-aryl tetrazines leads to bis(tetrazine)s structurally characterized by tetrazine cores arranged face-to-face. [N]8 π-stacking interactions are essential to the conformation. Upon inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) cycloaddition, the bis(tetrazine)s produce a unique staple structure. The o-azidation of s-aryl tetrazines introduces a second proximal intermolecular clickable function that leads to double click chemistry opportunities. The stepwise i…

Exploring the exchange interaction in a mixed valence {CoII4CoIII2} hexanuclear cluster with novel topology

2012

Abstract Reaction between [Co2(μ-OH2)(μ-Piv)2(Piv)2(HPiv)4] and a (salicylidene)ethanolamine ligand under ambient reaction conditions, affords hexanuclear complexes [CoIII2CoII4(Piv)8(HPiv)2(L)2(OH)2] (1–2). Both products have been characterized crystallographically and found to be mixed-valent, containing divalent and trivalent Co centers. Down to 30 K, the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data are dominated by the single-ion properties of high spin Co(II) centers with distorted-octahedral coordination geometries. Below this temperature, the effect of intramolecular ferromagnetic exchange interactions becomes apparent. Magnetic data has been analyzed in terms of ground isolated…

Yeast interaction on Chardonnay wine composition: Impact of strain and inoculation time.

2022

Abstract It is of great importance to understand the molecular characteristics and substantial chemical transformations due to yeast-yeast interaction. Non-targeted metabolomics was used to unravel must in fermentation composition, inoculated with non-Saccharomyces (NS) yeasts and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S) for sequential fermentation. ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry was able to distinguish thousands of metabolites and provides deep insights into grape must composition allowing better understanding of the yeast-yeast interactome. The dominance of S, characterized by a metabolic richness not found with NS, is dependent on inoculation time and on the yeast species present. Co-inocula…

Nonlocal van der Waals Approach Merged with Double-Hybrid Density Functionals: Toward the Accurate Treatment of Noncovalent Interactions

2015

Noncovalent interactions drive the self-assembly of weakly interacting molecular systems to form supramolecular aggregates, which play a major role in nanotechnology and biochemistry. In this work, we present a thorough assessment of the performance of different double-hybrid density functionals (PBE0-DH-NL, revPBE0-DH-NL, B2PLYP-NL, and TPSS0-DH-NL), as well as their parent hybrid and (meta)GGA functionals, in combination with the most modern version of the nonlocal (NL) van der Waals correction. It is shown that this nonlocal correction can be successfully coupled with double-hybrid density functionals thanks to the short-range attenuation parameter b, which has been optimized against ref…

Non-linear optical spectra of excitons in polydiacetylene

1992

Abstract Adding long-range Coulomb interactions to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model makes it possible to investigate excitonic states in conjugated polymers. Various characteristic features due to these states as well as due to the electron-hole continuum can be found in the calculated non-linear optical susceptibilities. In particular the electroabsorption spectrum and the third harmonic generation intensity and its dependence on the system size are examined. Using only moderate interaction strength, various experiments in polydiacetylene can be interpreted in a consistent way.

Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction and Solution Studies of Anion-π Interactions inN-(Pentafluorobenzyl)pyridinium Salts

2014

A solid-state structural study on anion–π interaction in various N-(pentafluorobenzyl)pyridinium salts accompanied by NMR spectroscopic investigations is presented. The crystal structures of 1a–1d reveal different kinds of contacts with anions, including anion–π interactions. In particular, the solid-state structure of 1b-I3 shows distinct evidence of anion–π interactions. Attempts to study anion–π interactions in solution were not successful, but their presence in solution could not be ruled out.

Advanced descriptors for long-range noncovalent interactions between SARS-CoV-2 spikes and polymer surfaces.

2021

The recent pandemic triggered numerous societal efforts aimed to control and limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2. One of these aspects is related on how the virion interacts with inanimate surfaces, which might be the source of secondary infection. Although recent works address the adsorption of the spike protein on surfaces, there is no information concerning the long-range interactions between spike and surfaces, experimented by the virion when is dispersed in the droplet before its possible adsorption. Some descriptors, namely the interaction potentials per single protein and global potentials, were calculated in this work. These descriptors, evaluated for the closed and open states of the sp…
