New Compounds in Rare Earth-Trels-Tetrels Systems:Syntheses,Structures, Their Rich Chemistry and Physical Properties

Intermetallic compounds constitute a very large fraction of inorganic compounds. Understanding these compounds with respect to their structures, chemical bonding, and physical properties is very important to fundamental materials science. The so-called Zintl phase (valence compound) subset of these has been of interest to many investigators for many years, and some understanding of this class of compounds has greatly broadened our views of chemical bonding^[1-3].Some progress has been achieved for compounds between alkali metals and the triels Ga, In, Tl^[4] Besides some structural reports^[5-9], ternary systems of rare earth-trels-tetrels are especially lack of broad and further exploration. Here we report more than ten new compounds characterized in these systems. The as cast samples were synthesized by High Frequency melting method inside Ar-glovebox followed by annealing in silica tubes. Lattice parameter refinements were done from powder data using Si as an internal standard. The structures were determined either from single crystal or from powder XRD full profile refinements. The physical properties of the compounds will be discussed together with their structures and bonding features.

The new complexes of Cu (II) and Ni (II) of a tridentate Schiff base ligand derived from 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone and p‐toluic hydrazide have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, electrical conductometry, FT‐IR, Mass, NMR and UV–Vis. The DFT calculations were carried out at B3LYP/6‐31G*(d) level for the determination of the optimized structure of the ligand and its complexes. The as‐synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Also, their binding behavior with fish salmon‐DNA (FS‐DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by different kinds of spectroscopic and molecular modeling techniques. The fluorescence data at different temperatures were applied in order to estimate the thermodynamics parameters of interactions of ligand and its complexes with DNA and HSA.

According to molecular docking calculation and competitive binding experiments, these compounds bind to the minor groove of DNA and hydrophobic residues located in the subdomain IB of HSA. In addition, the molecular docking results kept in good consistence with experimental data.

Producing 13C NMR, infrared absorption, and electron ionization mass spectrometric data models of the monodechlorination of chlorobenzenes, chlorophenols, and chloroanilines

We have developed four spectroscopic data-activity relationship (SDAR) models of monodechlorination of 32 chlorinated benzene compounds in anaerobic estuarine sediment. The SDAR models were based on combinations of 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared absorption (IR), and electron ionization mass spectrometric (EI MS) data. The SDAR models segregated the 32 compounds into 17 readily monodechlorinated compounds and 15 not readily monodechlorinated compounds. The SDAR model based on 13C NMR, IR, and EI MS data gave a leave-one-out cross-validation of 93.8%. The SDAR model based on a composite of 13C NMR and IR data gave a leave-one-out cross-validation of 90.6%. The SDAR model based on a composite of IR and EI MS data gave a leave-one-out cross-validation of 84.4%. The SDAR model based on a composite of 13C NMR and EI MS data gave a leave-one-out cross-validation of 84.4%. These reliable SDAR models provide a rapid and simple way to predict whether a chlorinated benzene compound will readily go through monodechlorination. The FDA has filed a patent application on methods of using any combination of spectral data (NMR, MS, UV-vis, IR, and fluorescence, phosphorescence) to model a chemical, physical, or biological endpoint.     

Studies directed toward the stereochemical structure determination of the naturally occurring glucosidase inhibitor, kotalanol: synthesis and inhibitory activities against human maltase glucoamylase of seven-carbon, chain-extended homologues of salacinol

The synthesis of new seven-carbon, chain-extended sulfonium salts of 1,4-anhydro-4-thio- d-arabinitol, analogues of the naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor salacinol, are described. These compounds were designed on the basis of the structure activity data of chain-extended analogues of salacinol, with the intention of determining the hitherto unknown stereochemical structure of kotalanol, the naturally occurring seven-carbon chain-extended analogue of salacinol. The target zwitterionic compounds were synthesized by means of nucleophilic attack of the PMB-protected 1,4-anhydro-4-thio- d-arabinitols at the least hindered carbon atom of two 1,3-cyclic sulfates differing in stereochemistry at only one stereogenic center. The desired cyclic sulfates were synthesized starting from d-glucose via Wittig olefination and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation. Deprotection of the coupled products by using a two-step sequence afforded two sulfonium sulfates. Optical rotation data for one of our compounds indicated a correspondence with that reported for kotalanol. However, comparison of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral data of the synthetic compounds with those of kotalanol indicated discrepancies. The collective data from this and published work were used to propose a tentative structure for the naturally occurring compound, kotalanol. Comparison of physical data of previously synthesized analogues with those for the recently isolated six-carbon chain analogue, ponkoranol or reticulanol, also led to elucidation of this structure. Interestingly, both our compounds inhibited recombinant human maltase glucoamylase (MGA), as expected from our previous structure activity studies of lower homologues, with K i values of 0.13 +/- 0.02 and 0.10 +/- 0.02 microM.
