Comparison and Rationalization of Droperidol Isostructural Solvate Stability: An Experimental and Computational Study
2014
In order to find a tool for comparison of solvate stability and to rationalize their relative stability, droperidol nonstoichiometric isostructural solvates were characterized experimentally and computationally. For the experimental evaluation of stability, three comparison tools were considered: thermal stability characterized by the desolvation rate, desolvation activation energy, and solvent sorption–desorption isotherms. It was found that the desolvation process was limited by diffusion, and the same activation energy values were obtained for all of the characterized solvates, while the solvent content in the sorption isotherm was determined by the steric factors. Therefore, the only cr…
Einfluß sterischer Hinderung auf den Abbau von Ciclacillin und Ampicillin
1981
Kinetische Untersuchungen der Reaktivitat von Aminopenicillinen belegen bei Ciclacillin eine sterische Hinderung der α-Aminogruppe der Phenylacetamido-Seitenkette. Vergleichende Haltbarkeitsuntersuchungen an Arzneizubereitungen von Ciclacillin und Ampicillin ergaben, das die aus der sterischen Hinderung resultierende hohere Stabilitat von Ciclacillin auch bei Injektions-Losungen, Suspensionen sowie eingeschrankt bei Pulvern und Tabletten nachweisbar ist. Influence of Steric Hindrance on the Degradation of Ciclacillin and Ampicillin Kinetic measurements of the reactivity of aminopenicillins demonstrated steric hindrance of the side chain amino group of ciclacillin. Comparative stability meas…
Dinitrogen complexation with main group radicals
2011
In this report we present data from hyperfine sublevel correlation spectroscopy (HYSCORE), an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic technique, that reveals weak but distinct interactions between several main group element radicals and physically dissolved dinitrogen in solution. These interactions are the basis for a well-defined coordination of N2 to the paramagnetic centers. The complexes formed are primarily of the van der Waals-type but also feature a non-negligible orbital overlap between dinitrogen and the radicals' SOMO. Our spectroscopic findings are strongly supported by experiments with isotope-labeled 15N2, spectral simulations and quantum chemical and density funct…
Weak intermolecular interactions promote blue luminescence of protonated 2,2′-dipyridylamine salts
2014
In this work we demonstrate that protonation and π-stacking can be exploited to convert non-luminescent 2,2′-dipyridylamine into blue-emitting derivatives. We have synthesized a series of luminescent 2,2′-dipyridylamine (dpa) salts, i.e., (dpaH)X·nSolv (dpa = 2,2′-dipyridylamine, X = HF2, n = 0.5, Solv = H2O 1; X = Cl, n = 2, Solv = H2O 2; X = Br, n = 2, Solv = H2O 3; X = I n = 1, Solv = H2O 4a; X = I n = 1, Solv = CHCl34b), (dpaH)2[SiF6]·H2O 5 and (dpaH)X (X = I36; SbF67; BF48) and characterized their emission properties, both in the solid-state and in solution. To rationalize our observations and relate the luminescence properties to the structure in the solid state and in solution, we ha…
Effect of self-assembled surfactant structures on ion transport across the liquid|liquid interface
1999
In this paper, the effect of a coadsorbed polyanion–cationic surfactant system on the transport of tetraethylammonium ion across the water|1,2-dichloroethane interface is studied. It is shown that the change in double-layer structure due to the presence of adsorbed or coadsorbed surfactant can explain the experimental observations, thus concluding that no other effects on ion transfer (e.g., steric hindrance) are relevant under these experimental conditions. The implications of these results are discussed. Keywords: ITIES, Ion transfer, Self-assembled monolayers, Surfactants, Double-layer effects
Chemistry of density : extension and structural origin of Carnelley's rule in chloroethanes
2012
Low-density liquids and solids, with all intermolecular contacts longer than the sum of van der Waals radii, are formed by all ethanes chlorinated at one locant: CH2ClCH3, CHCl2CH3 and CCl3CH3. The concepts of molecular symmetry described by Carnelley and that of point groups have been compared. Carnelley's rule, when applied to liquid and solid chloroethanes clearly reveals the density dependence on the presence of intermolecular Cl⋯Cl and H⋯Cl short contacts, or their absence due to steric hindrances of overcrowded substituents. At 2.62 GPa, CH2ClCH3 freezes directly into phase II, with molecules arranged into layers with short Cl⋯Cl, H⋯Cl and H⋯H contacts. Only for CH2ClCH3, both the low…
Solid State Luminescence Enhancement in π-Conjugated Materials: Unraveling the Mechanism beyond the Framework of AIE/AIEE
2017
Solid state luminescence enhancement (SLE) of conjugated organic materials has had a great impact in materials science, but a deep understanding has been rather limited to date. Here, we investigate a prototype example of SLE materials, cyano-substituted distyrylbenzene (DCS), by varying systematically and subtly the substitution pattern (inter alia of the position of the cyano-substituent) to give largely different photoresponse in fluid and solid solution as well in the crystalline state. The combination of quantitative (ultra)fast optical spectroscopic techniques, appropriate quantum-chemical methods, and structural (X-ray) data allows us to elucidate and rationalize all details of the S…
Rare-earth metal bis(tetramethylaluminate) complexes supported by a sterically crowded triazenido ligand
2010
Complexes [NNN]Ln(AlMe(4))(2) (Ln = Y, La, Nd, Lu) bearing the sterically demanding aryl-substituted triazenido ligand [(Tph)(2)N(3)] (Tph = [2-(2,4,6-iPr(3)C(6)H(2))C(6)H(4)]) can be obtained from homoleptic complexes Ln(AlMe(4))(3) in moderate yields, both via protonolysis with [(Tph)(2)N(3)]H and a salt metathesis reaction pathway utilizing [(Tph)(2)N(3)]K. In the solid state the Y and Lu derivatives are isostructural, with both tetramethylaluminate groups coordinated in an eta(2) fashion, while one of the [AlMe(4)] ligands of the Nd derivative features a distorted eta(2) coordination mode. Due to the high affinity of the triazenido ligand toward the more Lewis-acidic and harder aluminiu…
Highly Conjugatedp-Quinonoidπ-Extended Tetrathiafulvalene Derivatives: A Class of Highly Distorted Electron Donors
2004
A new class of pi-extended TTF-type electron donors (11 a-c) has been synthesized by Wittig-Horner olefination of bianthrone (9) with 1,3-dithiole phosphonate esters (10 a-c). In cyclic voltammetry experiments, donors 11 a-c reveal a single, electrochemically irreversible oxidation-yielding the corresponding dicationic products-at relatively low oxidation potentials (approximately 0.7-0.8 V). Theoretical calculations, performed at the DFT level (B3 P86/6-31 G*), predict a highly-folded C(2h) structure for 11 a. In the ground state, the molecule adopts a double saddle-like conformation to compensate the steric hindrance. The calculations suggest that the intramolecular charge transfer associ…
Micelles formed from photochemically active amphiphiles: structural characterization by small-angle neutron scattering
1996
Abstract A novel class of photochemically active amphiphiles has been synthesized containing a ketone moiety as a biradical or radical pair precursor on the hydrophobic tail of sodium sulfate surfactants. Alteration of the molecular structure of each ketone-containing surfactant allows for the systematic and predictable manipulation of the micellar size and shape, both of which are important in determining the coupling between the unpaired electrons confined within the micelle and the intraradical dynamics. The structure of the resulting aggregates has been analyzed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The results show that the amphiphiles form ellipsoidal micelles with aggregation num…
