DNA binding, nuclease activity, DNA photocleavage and cytotoxic properties of Cu(II) complexes of N-substituted sulfonamides.
2013
Abstract Ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(NST)2(phen)] (1) and [Cu(NST)2(NH3)2]·H2O (2) [HNST = N-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)naphthalene-1-sulfonamide] were prepared and characterized by physico-chemical techniques. Both 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures show the presence of a distorted square planar CuN4 geometry in which the deprotonated sulfonamide, acting as monodentate ligand, binds to the metal ion through the thiazole N atom. Both complexes present intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between phenanthroline rings (compound 1) and between naphthalene rings (compound 2). The interaction of the complexes with CT DNA was studied b…
Theoretical study on hydration of two particular diazanaphthalenes
2005
Abstract Cinnoline (1) and Phthalazine (2), diazanaphthalenes involved in certain biological reactions, have been studied computational with the purpose of comparing their protonation and covalent hydration mechanisms. Geometry optimizations of neutral, mono- and di-protonated cations and hydrated products were performed at HF, DFT/B3LYP levels of theory using 6-311G* basis set and single points energies were calculated at the MP2 level of theory using the same basis set. In agreement with experimental results, calculations predict a two-step mechanism resulting in a hydrated cation in which the OH of the water is located depending on the position of both nitrogen in the diazanaphthalene mo…
Addressing subphthalocyanines and subnaphthalocyanines features relevant to fluorescence imaging
2018
International audience; A series of new synthetic subphthalocyanines bear structural features aimed at allowing either fluorescence activation or a bathochromic shift of the absorption band towards the near-infrared window, relevant to optical imaging. X-ray diffraction studies of four subphthalocyanines are reported. Spectrofluorimetric studies on subnaphthalocyanines and activatable subphthalocyanine pro-fluorophores are reported.
Perfluoro-1,1′-biphenyl and perfluoronaphthalene and their derivatives as π-acceptors for anions
2015
Addition of anions to perfluorinated 1,1′-biphenyl 1 or naphthalene 2 results in a shift of the 19F NMR signals. However, any specific interaction cannot be assigned to this effect. In order to study the interaction in more detail, the salt derivatives 3 and 4 were prepared and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction revealing weak anion–π interactions in the solid state.
Two atropisomers of tricarbonyl[η6-7-chloro-3-(3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-2,4,8-trimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dibora-1,3-diazanaphthalene]chromium(0)
2001
The structures of two atropisomers of the title compound, [Cr(C16H18B2Cl2N2)(CO)3], are reported. For both compounds, the Cr(CO)3 moiety is bound to the C6 aromatic ring of the molecule; the existence of atropisomers resulting from the non-equivalence of both faces of the C6 aromatic ring is a consequence of the 3-chloro-2-methylphenyl ring being nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the 2,4-dibora-1,3-diazanaphthalene ring. The orientation of the Cr(CO)3 tripod relative to the C6 aromatic ring is such that it is nearly eclipsed in one isomer (2.4° rotation from being eclipsed with C—N, C—Cl and C—H) and slightly twisted (16.2°) from an eclipsed conformation in the other.
Twofold Electrochemical Amination of Naphthalene and Related Arenes
2017
The twofold, electrochemical amination reaction of polycyclic arenes, e.g. naphthalene (4), via Zincke intermediates is demonstrated for the first time. The installation of the nitrogen functionalities occurs regioselectively in positions 1 and 5 of naphthalene (4). The key for this electro-conversion is boron-doped diamond as anode material. The method of the multi-amination reaction is expanded to other aromatic substrates. A detailed study is provided, covering electrolysis parameters, e.g. anode material, electrolyte system, current density, separator, etc. Despite the moderate yields, this approach offers the first direct electro-synthetic access to diaminated products.
From monolayer to multilayer N-channel polymeric field-effect transistors with precise conformational order
2012
Monolayer field-effect transistors based on a high-mobility n-type polymer are demonstrated. The accurate control of the long-range order by Langmuir-Schafer (LS) deposition yields dense polymer packing exhibiting good injection properties, relevant current on/off ratio and carrier mobility in a staggered configuration. Layer-by-layer LS film transistors of increasing thickness are fabricated and their performance compared to those of spin-coated films.
Poly(naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene):Poly(hexyilthiophene) Heterojunctions. Efficient Polymer-to-Polymer Electron Transfer Interfaces
2013
Organic thin films solar cells and plastic solar cells [1] have attracted the attention of the scientific community especially as regards the performance of new conjugated polymers including their interfaces [2-4]. In this work, poly(naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene) (PNDIT4) and poly(hexyilthiophene) (P3HT) have been employed, for the first time, for engineering planar and bulk heterojunctions by the synergetic use of two techniques: electropolymerization and layer by layer deposition. Electropolymerization has been used for obtaining PNDIT4 thin films on transparent ITO/PET electrodes, starting from the synthesized monomer. Inverse Langmuir-Schaefer technique has been employed for deposi…
Solving underwater crimes: development of latent prints made on submerged objects.
2013
Underwater crime scenes always present a challenge for forensic researchers, as the destructive effect of water considerably complicates the chances of recovering material of evidential value. The aim of this study is to tackle the problem of developing marks that have been left on submerged objects. Fingermark deposition was randomly made on two surfaces - glass and plastic whilst the material was submerged under tap water and then left for one to fifteen days before drying and development. For their later development, various reagents - Black Powder, Silver Metallic Powder, Fluorescent Powder, Sudan Black (powder and solution) and Small Particle Reagent - were used and the effectiveness o…
Determination of mono-, di- and trinitronaphthalenes in soil samples contaminated by explosives.
2004
We investigated the extraction of eight mono-, di- and trinitronaphthalenes from soil samples by ultrasonic, respectively, soxhlet extraction. Sonication was the more convenient procedure with a usually higher repeatability than the soxhlet method. All extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. These methods were used to determine the concentration of nitronaphthalenes in five soil samples polluted by explosives. The most abundant contaminants were 1,5- and 1,8-dinitronaphthalene as well as 1,3,5-, 1,3,8- and 1,4,5-trinitronaphthalene. In all samples the sum of trinitronaphthalenes exceeded the sum of mono- and dinitronaphthalenes. It is rec…
