Oxoanion binding to a cyclic pseudopeptide containing 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole moieties
2016
A macrocyclic pseudopeptide 3 is described featuring three amide groups and three 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole units along the ring. This pseudopeptide was designed such that the amide NH groups and the triazole CH groups converge toward the cavity, thus creating an environment well suited for anion recognition. Conformational studies in solution combined with X-ray crystallography confirmed this preorganisation. Solubility of 3 restricted binding studies to organic media such as 5 vol% DMSO/acetone or DMSO/water mixtures with a water content up to 5 vol%. These binding studies demonstrated that 3 binds to a variety of inorganic anions in DMSO/acetone including chloride, nitrate, sulfat…
Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of 3-Pyrazolylidene-2-oxindole Compounds by Nucleophilic Vinylic Substitution of (E)-3-(Nitromethylene)indolin-2…
2019
[EN] A highly regio- and stereoselective synthesis of 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles has been described through a nucleophilic vinylic substitution (SNV) of (E)-3-(nitromethylene)indolin-2-one using pyrazol-3-ones as nucleophiles and Et3N as a base. The reaction affords selectively the Z-isomer when pyrazol-3-ones without substituents at the 4 position are used. While the reaction is E-selective with 4- substituted pyrazolones. The stereoselectivity (up to >20:1) and the yields (up to 98%) are very high under mild reaction conditions.
Hybrid GMP–polyamine hydrogels as new biocompatible materials for drug encapsulation
2020
Here we present the preparation and characterization of new biocompatible materials for drug encapsulation. These new gels are based on positively charged [1+1] 1H-pyrazole-based azamacrocycles which minimise the electrostatic repulsions between the negatively charged GMP molecules. Rheological measurements confirm the electroneutral hydrogel structure as the most stable for all the GMP-polyamine systems. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was employed to investigate the kinetics of the hydrogel formation and cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) was used to obtain information about the hydrogel morphology, which exhibited a non-homogeneous structure with a high degree of cross-linking…
Size‐Selective Encapsulation of Hydrophobic Guests by Self‐Assembled M 4 L 6 Cobalt and Nickel Cages
2012
Subtle differences in metal-ligand bond lengths between a series of [M(4)L(6)](4-) tetrahedral cages, where M = Fe(II), Co(II), or Ni(II), were observed to result in substantial differences in affinity for hydrophobic guests in water. Changing the metal ion from iron(II) to cobalt(II) or nickel(II) increases the size of the interior cavity of the cage and allows encapsulation of larger guest molecules. NMR spectroscopy was used to study the recognition properties of the iron(II) and cobalt(II) cages towards small hydrophobic guests in water, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used to study the solid-state complexes of the iron(II) and nickel(II) cages.
Nature of (C5Me5)2Mo2O5in water–methanol at pH 0–14. On the existence of (C5Me5)MoO2(OH) and (C5Me5)MoO2+: a stopped-flow kinetic analysis
2002
A stopped-flow analysis of compound Cp*2Mo2O5 (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) in 20% MeOH–H2O over the pH range 0–14 has provided the speciation of this molecule as well as the rate and mechanism of interconversion between the various species that are present in solution. The compound is a strong electrolyte in this solvent combination, producing the Cp*MoO2+ and Cp*MoO3− ions in equilibrium with a small amount of Cp*MoO2(OH), the latter attaining ca. 15% relative amount at pH 4. At low pH ( 6. The acid dissociation constant of Cp*MoO2(OH) has been measured directly (pK = 3.65 ± 0.02) while the pK for the protonation equilibrium leading to Cp*MoO3H2+ is estimated as 5. The prevalent pathway at high pH i…
Reactivity of di-n-butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium towards amido stabilized stannylenes
2009
Abstract Reaction of Sn[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )] 2 and [{Sn(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )(μ-Cl) 2 ] with di- n -butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium yielded the trimetallic a carbene-like complex {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 Cp 2 Zr. The oxidation of {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 Cp 2 Zr by oxygen gives the five-membered dioxadistannazirconacyclic complex {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 O 2 Cp 2 Zr.
Computational Study of the Effect of Glyoxal–Sulfate Clustering on the Henry’s Law Coefficient of Glyoxal
2014
We have used quantum chemical methods to investigate the molecular mechanism behind the recently reported ( Kampf , C. J. ; Environ. Sci. Technol . 2013 , 47 , 4236 - 4244 ) strong dependence of the Henry's law coefficient of glyoxal (C2O2H2) on the sulfate concentration of the aqueous phase. Although the glyoxal molecule interacts only weakly with sulfate, its hydrated forms (C2O3H4 and C2O4H6) form strong complexes with sulfate, displacing water molecules from the solvation shell and increasing the uptake of glyoxal into sulfate-containing aqueous solutions, including sulfate-containing aerosol particles. This promotes the participation of glyoxal in reactions leading to secondary organic…
Flow resistance equation for rills
2017
In this paper, a new flow resistance equation for rill flow was deduced applying dimensional analysis and self‐similarity theory. At first, the incomplete self‐similarity hypothesis was used for establishing the flow velocity distribution whose integration gives the theoretical expression of the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor. Then the deduced theoretical resistance equation was tested by some measurements of flow velocity, water depth, cross section area, wetted perimeter, and bed slope carried out in 106 reaches of some rills shaped on an experimental plot. A relationship between the velocity profile, the channel slope, and the flow Froude number was also established. The analysis showed …
SMOS Level-2 Soil Moisture Product Evaluation in Rain-Fed Croplands of the Pampean Region of Argentina
2016
A field campaign was carried out to evaluate the Soil Moisture (SM) MIR-SMUDP2 product (v5.51) generated from the data of the Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) aboard the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. The study area was the Pampean Region of Argentina, which was selected because it is a vast area of flatlands containing quite homogeneous rain-fed croplands, which are considered SMOS nominal land uses and hardly affected by radio-frequency interference contamination. Transects of ground handheld SM measurements were performed using ThetaProbe ML2x probes within four Icosahedral Snyder Equal Area Earth (ISEA) grid nodes, where permanent SM statio…
A coronal explosion on the flare star CN Leonis
2008
We present simultaneous high-temporal and high-spectral resolution observations at optical and soft X-ray wavelengths of the nearby flare star CN Leo. During our observing campaign a major flare occurred, raising the star's instantaneous energy output by almost three orders of magnitude. The flare shows the often observed impulsive behavior, with a rapid rise and slow decay in the optical and a broad soft X-ray maximum about 200 seconds after the optical flare peak. However, in addition to this usually encountered flare phenomenology we find an extremely short (~2 sec) soft X-ray peak, which is very likely of thermal, rather than non-thermal nature and temporally coincides with the optical …
