[39] DNA damage induced by ultraviolet and visible light and its wavelength dependence
2000
Publisher Summary DNA damage induced by solar radiation in mammalian cells consists largely of two types of modification: pyrimidine dimers and oxidative modifications. Pyrimidine dimmers that can be subdivided into cyclobutane pyrimidine dimmers, (CPDs) and (6-4) photoproducts are the characteristic and most abundant modifications after direct excitation of DNA, although they can also be formed indirectly by energy transfer from other excited molecules such as carbonyl compounds. Oxidative DNA damage, which includes various pyrimidine and purine modifications, sites of base loss (AP sites), and strand breaks, is generated in only low yield after direct excitation of DNA (except at very sho…
Closer Investigation of the Kinetics and Mechanism of Spirovinylcyclopropyl Oxindole Reaction with 3Σ–g-O2 by Topological Approaches and Unraveling t…
2021
In this investigation at the MN15L/Def2-TZVP level of theory, we present computational evidence indicating that the reaction of 3Σ-g-O2 with spirovinylcyclopropyl oxindole (2) leads to a product called spiro-1,2-dioxolane (2) in its singlet state; this reaction occurs via a stepwise mechanism and its rate-determining step is catalyzed by iodine radicals, which promotes opening of the three-membered ring under dark conditions. The conversion of 2 to 1-benzylindoline-2,3-dione (3) and 2-vinyloxirane (4) takes place via a concerted and slightly asynchronous reaction. Both electron localization function and AIM topological analysis reveal that the step associated with the attack of the 3Σ-g-O2 …
Synthesis, structure, spectral characterization and DNA binding affinity of new water soluble trinuclear copper(II) complexes with partial cubane Cu3…
2015
Two new water soluble trinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Na 6 (H 3 O) 4 ][Cu 3 (cbal) 3 (μ 3 -OH)(H 2 O) 3 ] 4 (ClO 4 ) 6 ·3H 2 O ( 1 ) and [K(H 2 O) 2 ][Cu 3 (cbal) 3 (μ 3 -OH)(H 2 O)]·3.75H 2 O ( 2 ) have been synthesized in good yield via the reaction of an unsymmetrical amino dicarboxylic ligand, N-(2-carboxybenzomethyl)-β-alanine (H 2 cbal), Cu(ClO 4 ) 2 ·6H 2 O and NaOH/K 2 CO 3 in methanol at room temperature. Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements, FTIR, UV–Vis, mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Both complexes contain a partial cubane [Cu 3 O 4 ] core consisting of the trinuclear…
Magneto-structural correlations and DFT calculations in two rare tetranuclear copper(II)-clusters with doubly phenoxo and end-on azido bridges: Synth…
2010
International audience; By slightly changing the synthetic conditions, we have prepared two closely related linear tetranuclear CuII complexes with the symmetrical ONNO donor tetradentate Schiff-base ligand [H2L = (OH)C6H4(CH3)Cdouble bond; length as m-dashN(CH2)3Ndouble bond; length as m-dashC(CH3)C6H4(OH)] and with azide ions. These two distinctly coloured crystalline products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, CV, EPR spectra and variable temperature magnetic measurements. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the green [Cu4(μ-L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2] (1) and the red [Cu4(μ-L)2(μ1,1-N3)2(N3)2(H2O)2] (2) crystals show that the coordination environment o…
PtTe2: Potential new material for the growth of defect-free TeO2 single crystals
2008
Abstract The dissociation of Te–O bonds is the main drawback, which hampers the yield of large-sized paratellurite single crystals of high optical quality when using platinum crucibles. In this work, it is assumed that a catalytic dissociation process involves the intermediate formation of platinum tellurides, these ones being then responsible for entrapment of gas bubbles and black precipitates when growth proceeds. To alleviate this difficulty, we suggest that platinum ditelluride could be a chemically more appropriate compound instead of pure platinum. First experiments on direct transformation of platinum sheets into PtTe 2 under tellurium gas atmosphere are described, as well as the pr…
Excited State N−H Tautomer Selectivity in the Singlet Energy Transfer of a Zinc(II)-Porphyrin-Truxene-Corrole Assembly
2017
International audience; An original corrole-containing polyad for S-1 energy transfer, in which one zinc(II)-porphyrin donor is linked to two free-base corrole acceptors by a truxene linker, is reported. This polyad exhibits a rapid zinc(II)-porphyrin*free-base corrole transfer (4.83x10(10)s(-1); 298K), even faster than the tautomerization in the excited state processes taking advantage of the good electronic communication provided by the truxene bridge. Importantly, the energy transfer process shows approximately 3-fold selectivity for one corrole N-H tautomer over the other even at low temperature (77K). This selectivity is due to the difference in the J-integral being effective in both t…
Formation of meso-1,2-Bis(dimethylamino)-1,2-diphenylethane by Oxidative C-C Coupling Reaction
2005
The title compound was obtained from the reaction of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine with n-butyl lithium and sulfur in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Its molecular structure was investigated by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical DFT methods. The formation of meso-1,2-bis(dimethylamino)-1,2-diphenylethane is likely to be due to an unusual α-deprotonation of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, instead of the well known ortho-lithiation, with a subsequent oxidative C-C coupling of the anions. Ab initio calculations of the corresponding α- and o-deprotonated anions of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine showed the former to be more stable than the latter, due to delocalisation of the negati…
Estudio de propiedades magnéticas en compuestos de coordinación multifuncionales
2021
En las últimas décadas, las moléculas imán han atraído la atención de la comunidad científica, puesto que permitirían superar las limitaciones actuales de almacenamiento en dispositivos y, también, por su interés en espintrónica. El descubrimiento de las moléculas imán polinucleares (SMMs) fue impactante, pues presentan lenta relajación de la magnetización por debajo de una cierta temperatura. Por tanto, el desarrollo de moléculas imán mononucleares (SIMs) basadas en iones CoII, como único centro paramagnético responsable de ese comportamiento, son de interés por su alto espín (S = 3/2) y un inherente desdoblamiento a campo cero (zfs), que se puede modificar dependiendo de la geometría impu…
Metal Dependence on the Bidirectionality and Reversibility of the Singlet Energy Transfer in Artificial Special Pair-Containing Dyads
2017
International audience; The demetalation of a precursor dyad, 3, built upon a zinc(II)-containing artificial special pair and free-base antenna, leads to a new dyad, 4, for singlet energy transfer composed of cofacial free-base porphyrins (acceptor), [Fb](2) bridged by a 1,4-C6H4 group to a free-base antenna (donor), [Fb]. This dyad exhibits the general structure [M](2)-C6H4-[Fb], where [M](2) = [Fh](2), and completes a series reported earlier, where [M](2) = [Mg](2) (2) and [Zn](2) (3). The latter dyads exhibit a bidirectional energy-transfer process at 298 K for 2 and at 77 K for 3. Interestingly, a very scarce case of cycling process is observed for the zinc-containing dyad at 298 K. The…
The ATXN1 and TRIM31 genes are related to intelligence in an ADHD background: evidence from a large collaborative study totaling 4,963 subjects
2010
Contains fulltext : 96400.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Intelligence is a highly heritable trait for which it has proven difficult to identify the actual genes. In the past decade, five whole-genome linkage scans have suggested genomic regions important to human intelligence; however, so far none of the responsible genes or variants in those regions have been identified. Apart from these regions, a handful of candidate genes have been identified, although most of these are in need of replication. The recent growth in publicly available data sets that contain both whole genome association data and a wealth of phenotypic data, serves as an excellent resource for fine mapping and …
