Metal-free regioselective C–C bond cleavage in 1,3,5-triazine derivatives of β-diketones
2014
Metal-free regioselective activation of a carbon–carbon bond in 1,3,5-triazine derivatives of β-diketones is easily achieved, in the absence of a catalyst, with the assistance of intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
The Role of Organic Fluorine in the Supramolecular Assembly of Halogenated β-Hydroxysulphoxides Diastereomers
2006
A series of optically pure γ-halogenated β-hydroxysulphoxides containing two stereogenic centers have been prepared, and the X-ray crystal structures have been determined. The conformational behavior in the solid state and the crystal packing of the different β-hydroxysulphoxide diastereoisomers have been determined. The intermolecular and intramolecular interactions present have been studied in both halogenated and nonhalogenated β-hydroxysulphoxides to establish the influence of the halogen atom in the supramolecular structure. The main intermolecular hydrogen bond OH···OS is always present and produces molecular chains. Self-assembly of these chains includes weak CH···F, C−F···F−C, and C…
N‐[tert‐Butoxycarbonylglycyl‐(Z)‐α,β‐dehydrophenylalanylglycyl‐(E)‐α,β‐dehydrophenylalanyl]glycine methyl ester dihydrate
2006
The title pentapeptide, Boc0—Gly1–ΔZPhe2—Gly3–ΔEPhe4—Gly5—OMe, C30H35N5O8·2H2O, adopts the type I β-turn conformation for the ΔZPhe2—Gly3 residues. It is stabilized by a 4\rightarrow1 intramolecular hydrogen bond between the ΔEPhe4 NH and Gly1 CO groups. All the amino acid residues in the pentapeptide sequence are linked trans to each other. The crystal structure is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
The acidity of calix[5]arenes and their linear analogues
1999
Abstract Five new calix[5]arenes containing a single p-nitrophenol unit as the most acidic phenolic unit have been synthesised by (3+2) fragment condensation of a trimer with a p-nitrophenol in the middle with various bishydroxymethylated alkanediyl diphenols. Their first acid constant (pKal) has been determined in 2-methoxyethanol/water (9:1) at 22°C by optical titration. The pKal values are distinctly lower (ΔpKa > 2) than for the trimer, while no difference has been found in comparison to structurally analogous calix[4]arenes. Rigidification of the calix[5]arene skeleton by introducing a single alkanediyl bridge opposite to the p-nitrophenol unit has no effect on pKal. All values are in …
Timolol derivatives. I. X-ray, NMR and theoretical studies of the crystallization of (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-l-tartaric acid monoester
1993
Abstract The absolute configurations of (S)-timolol hemihydrate and (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-(R,R)-tartaric acid monoester were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. An NMR analysis based on the temperature dependence of vicinal coupling constants was carried out to characterize the conformational behaviour of the S,R,R- and R,R,R-forms in solution. The same conformation as in crystalline state was also found in solution, although with a rather low preference over some other conformations. Results of theoretical calculations using MNDO and AMBER force field methods are reported. An infinite chain of hydrogen bonds, along with other favourable inter- and intramolecular forces that …
Density Functional Theory Study on Propane and Propene Adsorption on Pt(111) and PtSn Alloy Surfaces
2011
Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the adsorption of propane, propene, and C and H atoms on Pt and PtSn surfaces employing the revised Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (RPBE) and vdW-DF functionals. Propane adsorption was found to be mediated by van der Waals interactions without significant site preference on any of the studied surfaces. The adsorption characteristics of propene are different: On the Pt(111) and Pt3Sn(111) surfaces, propene adsorption is covalent, and the molecule prefers a di-σ site to a π site. Alloying Pt(111) with Sn leads to weaker adsorption owing to geometric and relaxation effects, whereas electronic effects are found to be small. On the PtS…
Why Do Chemically Similar Pharmaceutical Molecules Crystallize in Different Structures: A Case of Droperidol and Benperidol
2016
A detailed study of molecular conformation and intermolecular interactions in the experimental crystal structures and general trends observed in the Cambridge Structural Database as well as theoretical calculations were performed to identify the reason for the formation of different crystal structures of two chemically very similar pharmaceutical molecules benperidol and droperidol. The most important difference between both molecules was the weak intermolecular interactions formed by the central ring which therefore was responsible for the formation of different crystal structures. Cross-seeding experiments were performed to check the possibility for the formation of mutually isostructural…
The Nature of Transannular Interactions in E4N4 and E82+ (E = S, Se)
2015
The electronic structures of tetrachalcogen tetranitrides, E4N4, and octachalcogen dications, E8(2+), and the nature of their intramolecular E···E interactions (E = S, Se) was studied with high-level theoretical methods. The results reveal that the singlet ground states of both systems have a surprisingly large correlation contribution which functions to weaken and therefore lengthen the cross-ring E-E bond. The observed correlation effects are primarily static in E4N4, whereas in E8(2+) the dynamic part largely governs the total correlation contribution. The presented description of bonding is the first that gives an all-inclusive picture of the origin of cross-ring interactions in E4N4 an…
DFT study of polarizabilities and dipole moments of water clusters
2005
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with different exchange- correlation functionals, Becke's three-parameter exchange functional and the gradient- corrected functional of Lee, Yang, and Paar (B3LYP) and Becke's three-parameter functional with Perdew-Wang correlational functional (B3PW91), are performed to study the dielectric properties of small and medium-sized water clusters. For these H- bonded systems, we optimize the geometries and compute the dipole moments and polarizabilities using a supermolecule approach. The corresponding properties of the individual water molecules in the clusters are extracted from the molecular properties using the Hirshfeld expansion of the electron…
Structural, magnetic and calorimetric studies of a crystalline phase of the spin crossover compound [Fe(tzpy)2(NCSe)2]
2013
The compound [Fe(tzpy)2(NCSe)2] (tzpy = 3-(2-pyridyl)-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine)) has been synthesized and its crystal structure, magnetic behavior and calorimetric properties investigated. Samples constituted of single crystals of [Fe(tzpy)2(NCSe) 2] display a relatively cooperative spin-state change centered at T1/2 ¿ 251.7 K with a hysteresis loop 3.5 K wide. The average enthalpy (¿H) and entropy (¿S) changes upon the spin crossover behavior (SCO) obtained from DSC measurements are 11.1 ± 0.4 kJ mol -1 and 44.5 ± 3 J K-1 mol-1, respectively. The magnetic and calorimetric data have been satisfactorily simulated using the mean-field regular solution model (Slichter-Drickamer) and the …
