13C NMR spectra of eudesmanolides I—eudesman-12,6-olides
1987
The 13C NMR spectra of 26 eudesmanolides of natural and synthetic origin have been measured, including the naturally occurring sesquiterpene lactones artemisin, torrentin, rothin-A and rothin-B and several semi-synthetic eudesman-12,6-olides obtained from artemisin. The chemical shift values of the different compounds are compared and the effects of the substituents are discussed.
Complexation of enantiomerically pure tetraalkylammonium cations by ethyl resorcinarene
2013
Molecular recognition via weak interactions of three enantiopure tetraalkylammonium cations 2–4 by ethyl resorcinarene 1 was studied in the solid state using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in solution by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) titration and in the gas phase using electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry. The 1H NMR titration studies reveal the association constants for the 1:1 complexes to vary according to the size and electronic properties of the alkyl groups of the guest cations. In the solid state, the resorcinarene is deprotonated and the X-ray structure confirms the 1:1 complex 2+@1− to be held together by multiple cation…π and C–H…π interactions.…
Alteration in membrane fluidity and lipid composition, and modulation of H(+)-ATPase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae caused by decanoic acid.
1996
Decanoic acid, a lipophilic agent, inhibited in vitro the plasma membrane H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown in YPD medium. Conversely, when decanoic acid (35 μM) was present in the growth medium, the measured H+-ATPase activity was four times higher than that of control cells. K m, and pH and orthovanadate sensitivity were the same for the two growth conditions, which indicated that H+-ATPase activation was not due to conformational changes in the enzyme. The activation process was not entirely reversible which showed that plasma membrane H+-ATPase activation is due to several mechanisms. 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene anisotropy performed on protoplasts from cells grown in YPD rev…
The Synergetic Interplay of Weak Interactions in the Ion-Pair Recognition of Quaternary and Diquaternary Ammonium Salts by Halogenated Resorcinarenes
2013
The influence of halogens on the noncovalent interactions of different upper-rim-substituted hexylresorcinarenes with quaternary and diquaternary ammonium iodide salts was investigated in the gas phase by electrospray ionization Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron-resonance (ESI-FTICR) mass spectrometry and in solution by 1H NMR titration studies. The electronic nature of the substituents on the upper rim of the resorcinarene was directly reflected in the order of binding strengths of the hosts towards quaternary and diquaternary ammonium cations in the gas phase. In solution, the opposite trend was observed, with generally higher binding constants for the diquaternary over the quaternary salts…
Triple associates based on (oxime)Pt(II) species, 18-crown-6, and water: Synthesis, structural characterization, and DFT study
2014
Abstract The associates 2(cis-[PtCl2(acetoxime)2])⋅18-crown-6⋅2H2O (1), 2(cis-[PtBr2(acetoxime)2])⋅18-crown-6⋅2H2O (2), and trans-[PtCl2(acetaldoxime)2]⋅(18-crown-6)⋅2H2O (3) were synthesized by co-crystallization of free corresponding platinum species and 18-crown-6 from wet solvents and characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopies, high-resolution mass-spectrometry (ESI), TG/DTA, and X-ray crystallography. The (oxime)Pt(II) species are assembled with 18-crown-6 and water by hydrogen bonding between the hydroxylic hydrogen atoms of the oxime ligands and the oxygen atom of water and between the hydrogen atoms of water and the oxygen atoms of 18-crown-6. In 2(cis-[PtX2(acetoxime)2])⋅18-crow…
1H-nmr studies of polyoxyethylene-bound homo-oligo-L-methionines
1982
The use of 1H-nmr spectroscopy is demonstrated to be a useful analytical method to characterize the structure of synthetic peptides attached to soluble, macromolecular polyoxyethylene (POE) supports in the liquid-phase method (LPM) of peptide synthesis. We report an extensive 360-MHz 1H-nmr study of POE-bound homo-oligo-L-methionine peptides. A combination of high field and selective saturation or Redfield pulse methods allows resolution of individual backbone NH and α-CH resonances of dilute peptides in the presence of strong resonances from macromolecular POE and/or protonated solvents. The nmr spectra for the POE-bound peptides in CDCl3 are qualitatively similar to those of the low-molec…
Bridgehead isomer effects in bis(phosphido)-bridged diiron hexacarbonyl proton reduction electrocatalysts
2017
The influence of the substitution, orientation and structure of the phosphido bridges in [Fe2(CO)6(μ-PR2)2] electrocatalysts of proton reduction has been studied. The isomers e,a-[Fe2(CO)6{μ-P(Ar)H}2] (1a(Ar): Ar = Ph, 2′-methoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (bn′)), e,e-[Fe2(CO)6{μ-P(Ar)H}2] (1b(Ar): Ar = Ph, bn′) were isolated from reactions of iron pentacarbonyl and the corresponding primary phosphine, syntheses that also afforded the phosphinidene-capped tri-iron clusters, [Fe3(CO)9(μ-CO)(μ3-Pbn′)] (2) and [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-PAr)2] (3(Ar), Ar = Ph, bn′). A ferrocenyl (Fc)-substituted dimer [Fe2(CO)6{μ:μ′-1,2-(P(CH2Fc)CH2)2C6H4}] (4), in which the two phosphido bridges are linked by an o-xylyl group, was al…
New molecular catalysts for ATP cleavage. Criteria of size complementarity
2000
The interaction of the cyclophane receptor 2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaaza[18]metacyclophane (L) with the nucleotides ATP, ADP and AMP is described. L yields one of the largest rate enhancements for hydrolytic ATP cleavage observed in macrocyclic polyamines. The process is specific for the formation of ADP and involves a high degree of geometrical complementarity between host and guest species. The analogue compound 24-hydroxy-2,5,8,11,14,17-hexaaza[18]metacyclophane (L11) shows also a high degree of ATP activation. However, in this case deprotonation of the hydroxy group results in almost complete quenching of the ATPase activity above pH 7.0.
Coordination versatility of pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes: a detailed study of the different activation procedures. Characterizatio…
2005
Three different reaction procedures for the coordination of N-n-butyl-N'-(2-pyridylmethyl)imidazolium salt have produced new N-heterocyclic complexes of Rh and Ir. The direct reaction of the imidazolium salt with [IrCl(cod)](2) provides a NHC-Ir(III)-H complex, while transmetalation from a silver-NHC complex and deprotonation with NEt(3) give new NHC complexes of M(I) and M(III) when reacting with [MCl(cod)](2) or [MCl(coe)(2)](2) (M = Rh, Ir). The crystal structures of the biscarbene Rh(III) and Ir(III) complexes are described. The catalytic properties of the compounds obtained have been tested in the hydrosilylation of acetylenes, the cyclization of acetylenic carboxylic acids, and hydrog…
Mononuclear mixed oxosulfidomolybdate(VI) complexes with aminodicarboxylic ligands. Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization by multinulcear magn…
1993
Addition of B2S3 to a methanolic solution of the MoVIO3L2− complex (L=N,N-bis(ethanoic acid)-1-amino-2- methylthio-ethane) results in the formation of two different monomeric oxosulfidomolybdate(VI) complexes, [MoO2SL]2− and [MoOS2L]2− as indicated by 1H, 13C, 17O and 95Mo NMR spectroscopy and by the reaction of these two sulfurated species with triphenylphosphine. The temperature dependences of the 1H NMR spectra indicate exchange processes for both sulfido complexes. Their redox properties are discussed and contrasted with those observed for the parent fac-trioxo molybdenum(VI) complex. The primary synthetic route to mixed oxosulfido [MoO3−nSnL]2− complexes described here can be extended …
