Solvent induced single-crystal to single-crystal structural transformation and concomitant transmetalation in a 3D cationic Zn(II)-framework.
2015
A 3D cationic Zn(II) framework, based on Zn2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs) and Zn16(CO2)32 polyhedral supramolecular building blocks (SBBs), has been synthesized. At room temperature, the framework undergoes guest solvent triggered reversible structural transformation and concomitant Zn(II) to Cu(II) transmetalation in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion.
A Supramolecular Chiral Auxiliary Approach: “Remote Control ”of Stereochemistry at a Hierarchically Assembled Dimeric Helicate
2016
Dimeric hierarchically-assembled titanium(IV) helicates are in solvent-dependent equilibrium with the corresponding monomers. Statistically formed mixtures of such complexes bearing chiral stereocontrolling ligands and achiral diene-substituted ligands show high diastereoselectivity and reasonable enantioselectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction with maleimides if the reaction proceeds with the dimer but not with the monomer. Thus, solvent dependent switching between the monomer and dimer enables on/off switching of the enantioselectivity.
EVALUATION OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC BACTERIAL DECHLORINATION POTENTIAL OF A 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE CONTAMINATED AQUIFER
2023
Chlorinated solvents, belonging to the class of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs), are synthetic organohalide chemicals frequently found as contaminants of groundwater and soil, due to their widespread use in several industrial processes and improper disposal methods. These compounds pose serious health threats because of their toxic and sometimes carcinogenic effects. Among these compounds, 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) is one of the most common aquifer contaminants, considered toxic and classified as a possible human carcinogen. Remediation approaches toward these contaminants include conventional cleanup technologies based on physical/chemical methods, and bioremediation, consider…

The treatment of Cu(NO3)(2)center dot 3H(2)O with the same N,N'-donor ligand in two different solvent mixtures, methanol/ dichloromethane (2) and methanol/ chloroform (3), afforded two new ladder-like coordination polymers of formula {[Cu(mu-L)(mu-NO3)(NO3)]center dot solv}(n) [solv = CH2Cl2 (2) and CHCl3 (3)]. The non-interpenetrated ladder motifs 2 a…
Dependence of solvent quality on the composition of copolymers: experiment and theory for solutions of P(MMA-ran-t-BMA) in toluene and in chloroform.
2014
The interaction of toluene with P(MMA-ran-t-BMA) and with the corresponding homopolymers was determined via vapor pressure measurements at 30, 50 and 70 °C. A unified thermodynamic approach served for the modeling of the results. It is capable of describing the behavior of the different solutions by means of two adjustable parameters, one representing the effective number of solvent segments and the other accounting for the interactions between the components. The solvent quality of toluene passes a maximum, a minimum and another maximum upon an increase of the t-BMA content of the copolymer at all temperatures. A similar behavior is discernable from vapor pressure data of chloroform publis…
Hydrogen bond-stabilised N-alkylammonium resorcinarene halide cavitands
2010
A family of hydrogen bond-stabilised N-alkylammonium resorcinarene chloride and bromide cavitands were synthesised and characterised with 1H NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. The seven compounds exhibit interestingly either self-inclusion or guest complexation in the solid state evidenced by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The four dimers show self-inclusion of the upper rim propyl chains and consist of two hydrogen-bonded resorcinarene tetracations and six halide anions, while the remaining two halide anions are located in between the dimers linking them via hydrogen bonding. Small solvent molecules such as dichloromethane, methanol, n-butanol or chloroform are complexed into the resorcinar…
An Extraction-Based Assay for Neutral Anionophores: The Measurement of High Binding Constants to Steroidal Receptors in a Nonpolar Solvent
2002
The extraction-based proto- col for measuring binding constants, developed by Cram and co-workers, has been extended for use with anionic substrates. The method is especially useful for high-affinity receptors, allow- ing very high binding constants to be measured in nonpolar solvents. Distri- bution constants Kd between chloroform and water have been obtained for tet- raethylammonium chloride and bro- mide, thus calibrating the method for these two substrates. Application to steroidal podands 5 ± 9 has confirmed the ability of electron-withdrawing groups to enhance hydrogen-bond do- nor capabilities. Binding constants of 3 10 71 have been measured for the most powerful receptor 7. An X-ray…
Calculation of organic solvent–water partition coefficients of iron–sulfur protein models
2002
Abstract A method is presented that permits semiquantitative estimation of the partitioning of many solutes between many pairs of media. As an example, the organic solvent–water partition coefficients P are calculated. The only needed parameters are the dielectric constant and molecular volume of the organic solvent. Fe 4 S 4 Cys n models of high-potential FeS proteins are studied. The Gibbs free energies of solvation and partition coefficients for Fe 4 S 4 Cys n are calculated. The organic solvent–water partition coefficients for 1-octanol P o , cyclohexane P ch and chloroform P cf decrease 4.41, 6.22 and 4.60 log units per cysteine (Cys) ligand, respectively. P o results are compared with…
Influence of lower rim C-methyl group on crystal forms and metal complexation of resorcinarene bis-crown-5
2015
C-methyl resorcinarene bis-crown-5 (1) with pendant methyl groups at the lower rim was prepared and crystallized in various solvent mixtures with and without selected metal salts. The crystal structures of two polymorphic forms of unsolvated 1 (1-I and 1-II), three solvates (acetonitrile, chloroform and dichloromethane-methanol), and three metal complexes with silver and cesium salts were obtained. The lower rim methyl groups and the block shape of the host promote crystal packing in brick-wall type assemblies, in which the binding cavities are efficiently filled by the crown bridges. Thus, solvents are found in the interstitial space or coordinated to the crown bridges on top of the cavity…
An in-tube SPME device for the selective determination of chlorophyll a in aquatic systems.
2010
We report a new device for the estimation of the content of chlorophyll a pigment in water samples as an indicator of water quality. The extraction of the pigment from water was also optimized. 10 mL of water was filtered through a nylon filter (45m pore size and 13 mm of diameter), after the chlorophylls were dissolved by immersing the filter in 1 mL of a low non-hazardous solvent as ethanol. An in-valve in-tube SPME device coupled to capillary liquid chromatography with diode array detection was designed. A capillary column of 70 cm in length (0.32 mm i.d. coated with 5% diphenyl–95% polydimethylsiloxane, 3m coating thickness) was used as the loop of the injection valve for preconcentrati…
