Internal rotation of 1,2-dichloroethane in haloalkane dehalogenase. A test case for analyzing electrostatic effects in enzymes

2003

1,2-Dichoroethane (DCE) is a prototypical molecule for studying electrostatic solvent effects on molecular conformation as far as rotation around the carbon−carbon bond notably changes the electric...

A New Building Block for Organometallic–Inorganic Hybrid Polymers: The Mixed Group 15/16 Element Ligand Complex [Cp* 2 Mo 2 (μ,η 2:2 ‐PSe) 2 (μ‐Se)] …

2010

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of [Cp*2Mo2P2Se3] (1; Cp* = C5Me5) and its use as a molecular building block in the formation of copper(I) halide polymers is described. The reaction of 1 in CH2Cl2 with 2 equiv. of CuBr and CuI in CH3CN under diffusion conditions gave [(Cp*2Mo2P2Se3)2(CuBr)2] (2) and [(Cp*2Mo2P2Se3)(CuX)3(CH3CN)]n (X = I; 3/4), respectively. The structure of 2 is distinguished by a central Cu2Br2 ring coordinated on each side by a tripledecker complex through one of its P atoms. A 2D network is formed by weak interactions between Se atoms of neighboring molecules. Compound [(Cp*2Mo2P2Se3)(CuI)3(CH3CN)]n exists in two isomeric forms 3 and 4. The crystal struc…

Molecular squares of Ni(II) and Cu(II): ferromagnetic exchange interaction mediated by syn-anti carboxylate-bridging.

Structural characterization reveals that each Ni(II) centre in 1 has square-pyramidal Ni(II)N(3)O(2) …

C—br insertion reactions in rhodium and iridium compounds containing an ortho-halo-arylphosphine. X-ray structures of two ortho-metallated compounds …

1988

Abstract A comparative study of the reaction of rh and ir complexes with the ortho-bromo-arylphosphine PCBr [PCBr = P(o-BrC6F4)(C6H5)2], is presented. Various PCBr complexes of Ir(I) and Rh(I) undergo rapid insertion of the metal atom into a CBr bond provided the phosphine is coordinated in a η2-mode (Pbr). If the Br coordination is substituted by a superior ligand such as CO or an olefin, no reaction occurs under normal conditions. PCBr complexes of the tervalent metals require a two-electron reduction step prior to the ortho-metallation reaction. Most intermediates were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. Two intermediates of general formula IrX2(η2-PC)(η-PCBr), [PC = …

Radical cation salts based on BEDT-TTF and the paramagnetic anion [Cr(NCS)6]3−

1999

Abstract A new radical cation salt formulated as (ET)5.5[Cr(NCS)6] (ET = BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylene)dithiotetrathiafulvalene) has been synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The structure shows the presence of alternating layers of the ET units and mixed layers of anions and an isolated ET molecule. The magnetic susceptibility data in the temperature range 2–300 K show a Curie law with C = 1.771 cm3.K.mol−1 and Nα = 1.20.10−5 cm3.mol−1, in agreement with the presence of isolated Cr(III) without any contribution from the organic part.

Substituent effects on axle binding in amide pseudorotaxanes: comparison of NMR titration and ITC data with DFT calculations

2012

The binding behaviour of differently substituted diamide axle molecules to Hunter/Vögtle tetralactam macrocycles was studied with a combination of NMR titration, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments and calculations employing density functional theory (DFT), along with dispersion-corrected exchange-correlation functionals. Guests with alkyl or alkenyl chains attached to the diamide carbonyl groups have a significantly higher binding affinity to the macrocycle than guests with benzoyl amides and their substituted analogues. While the binding of the benzoyl and alkenyl substituted axles is enthalpically driven, the alkyl-substituted guest binds mainly because of a positive bindi…

New Triterpene Saponins fromAcanthophyllum pachystegium

2004

Four new triterpenoid saponins, pachystegiosides A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), were isolated from the roots of Acanthophyllum pachystegium K. H. Their structures were elucidated by means of a combination of homo- and heteronuclear 2D-NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FAB-MS. The new compounds were characterized as 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[3,4-di-O-acetyl-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(14)]-β-D-fucopyranosyl}ester (1), 3-O-{O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(12)-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(13)]-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl}quillaic acid 28-{O-…

Analogues of cytotoxic squamocin using reliable reactions: new insights into the reactivity and role of the α,β-unsaturated lactone of the annonaceou…

2006

Abstract A small library of squamocin analogues has been prepared and screened biologically (cytotoxicity, inhibition of mitochondrial complex I and complex III). To centre diversity on a crucial part of the molecule (i.e., the α,β-unsaturated lactone), an original and reliable lactone opening reaction has been discovered and exploited among other efficient reactions.
