Supramolecular architectures in two 1:1 cocrystals of 5‐fluorouracil with 5‐bromothiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid and thiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid

In solid‐state engineering, cocrystallization is a strategy actively pursued for pharmaceuticals. Two 1:1 cocrystals of 5‐fluorouracil (5FU; systematic name: 5‐fluoro‐1,3‐dihydropyrimidine‐2,4‐dione), namely 5‐fluorouracil–5‐bromothiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid (1/1), C₅H₃BrO₂S·C₄H₃FN₂O₂, (I), and 5‐fluorouracil–thiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid (1/1), C₄H₃FN₂O₂·C₅H₄O₂S, (II), have been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. In both cocrystals, carboxylic acid molecules are linked through an acid–acid R ₂²(8) homosynthon (O—H…O) to form a carboxylic acid dimer and 5FU molecules are connected through two types of base pairs [homosynthon, R ₂²(8) motif] via a pair of N—H…O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structures are further stabilized by C—H…O interactions in (II) and C—Br…O interactions in (I). In both crystal structures, π–π stacking and C—F…π interactions are also observed.     

Theoretical insights into the excited‐state process of 4‐tert‐butyl‐2‐(5‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐methoxyphenyl)thiazolo[5,4‐d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐phenol

In this paper, we theoretically explore the motivation and behaviors of the excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) reaction for a novel white organic light‐emitting diode (WOLED) material 4‐tert‐butyl‐2‐(5‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐methoxyphenyl)thiazolo[5,4‐d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐phenol (t‐MTTH). The “atoms in molecules” (AIM) method is adopted to verify the formation and existence of the hydrogen bond O? H···N. By analyzing the excited‐state hydrogen bonding behaviors via changes in the chemical bonding and infrared (IR) vibrational spectra, we confirm that the intramolecular hydrogen bond O? H···N should be getting strengthened in the first excited state in four kinds of solvents, thus revealing the tendency of ESIPT reaction. Further, the role of charge‐transfer interaction is addressed under the frontier molecular orbitals (MOs), which depicts the nature of the electronic excited state and supports the ESIPT reaction. Also, the electron distribution confirms the ESIPT tendency once again. The scanned and optimized potential energy curves according to variational O? H coordinate in the solvents demonstrate that the proton transfer reaction should occur in the S₁ state, and the potential energy barriers along with ESIPT direction support this reaction. Based on the excited‐state behaviors reported in this work, the experimental spectral phenomenon has been reasonably explained.     

Study of conformations and hydrogen bonds in the configurational isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime by 1H, 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopy combined with MP2 and DFT calculations and NBO analysis

The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR studies have shown that the E and Z isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime adopt preferable conformation with the syn orientation of the oxime group with respect to the pyrrole ring. The syn conformation of E and Z isomers of pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde oxime is stabilized by the N? H···N and N? H···O intramolecular hydrogen bonds, respectively. The N? H···N hydrogen bond in the E isomer causes the high‐frequency shift of the bridge proton signal by about 1 ppm and increase the ¹J(N, H) coupling by ～3 Hz. The bridge proton shows further deshielding and higher increase of the ¹J(N, H) coupling constant due to the strengthening of the N? H···O hydrogen bond in the Z isomer. The MP2 calculations indicate that the syn conformation of E and Z isomers is by ～3.5 kcal/mol energetically less favorable than the anti conformation. The calculations of ¹H shielding and ¹J(N, H) coupling in the syn and anti conformations allow the contribution to these constants from the N? H···N and N? H···O hydrogen bondings to be estimated. The NBO analysis suggests that the N? H···N hydrogen bond in the E isomer is a pure electrostatic interaction while the charge transfer from the oxygen lone pair to the antibonding orbital of the N? H bond through the N? H···O hydrogen bond occurs in the Z isomer. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blue‐shifted H‐bond in aromatic sulfines: An ab initio calculation

The intramolecular C? H···O?S H‐bond in the aromatic sulfines, HRC?S?O, was analyzed by NBO and QTAIM methods. The results of QTAIM analysis at the MP2/aug‐cc‐pVDZ level of theory show that the C? H···O?S H‐bond meets all the characteristics of an improper, blue shift hydrogen bond. NBO analysis at the MP2/6–31++G(d,p)//MP2/aug‐cc‐pVDZ level predicts a normal relationship between change of bond length and C? H rehybridization. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular dynamics of cis‐1‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐ methylphenyl)ethanone oxime and N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methylphenyl)acetamide in solution studied by NMR spectroscopy

The formation of hydrogen bonds and molecular dynamics for the molecules cis‐1‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylphenyl)ethanone oxime ( I ) and N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methylphenyl)acetamide ( II ) have been investigated in solution using NMR. The results confirm the formation of O? H···O, O? H···N and O···H? N type inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Spin‐lattice relaxation times (T₁), activation energy of molecular dynamics and energy of intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been determined. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

GIAO,DFT, AIM and NBO analysis of the N?H···O intramolecular hydrogen‐bond influence on the 1J(N,H) coupling constant in push–pull diaminoenones

In the series of diaminoenones, large high‐frequency shifts of the ¹H NMR of the N? H group in the cis‐position relative to the carbonyl group suggests strong N? H···O intramolecular hydrogen bonding comprising a six‐membered chelate ring. The N? H···O hydrogen bond causes an increase of the ¹J(N,H) coupling constant by 2–4 Hz and high‐frequency shift of the ¹⁵N signal by 9–10 ppm despite of the lengthening of the relevant N? H bond. These experimental trends are substantiated by gauge‐independent atomic orbital and density functional theory calculations of the shielding and coupling constants in the 3,3‐bis(isopropylamino)‐1‐(aryl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one (12) for conformations with the Z‐ and E‐orientations of the carbonyl group relative to the N? H group. The effects of the N? H···O hydrogen‐bond on the NMR parameters are analyzed with the atoms‐in‐molecules (AIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) methods. The AIM method indicates a weakening of the N? H···O hydrogen bond as compared with that of 1,1‐di(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐2‐formylethene (13) where N? H···O hydrogen bridge establishes a seven‐membered chelate ring, and the corresponding ¹J(N,H) coupling constant decreases. The NBO method reveals that the LP(O) →σ*_{N? H} hyperconjugative interaction is weakened on going from the six‐membered chelate ring to the seven‐membered one due to a more bent hydrogen bond in the former case. A dominating effect of the N? H bond rehybridization, owing to an electrostatic term in the hydrogen bonding, seems to provide an increase of the ¹J(N,H) value as a consequence of the N? H···O hydrogen bonding in the studied diaminoenones. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Mixed‐ligand Copper(II) Complexes with N‐isopropyl‐iminodiacetato(2‐) and C‐phenyl‐imidazole Ligands. Crystal Structures of H2iPIDA, [Cu(iPIDA)(H2ϕim)(H2O)]·3H2O and [Cu(iPIDA)(H5ϕim)]n

The crystal of the N‐isopropyl‐iminodiacetic acid ( 1 ) consists of a 3D H‐bonded framework where the zwitterion (H₂iPIDA^±) is intra‐stabilized by one N⁺‐H···O interaction and both carboxyl are half‐protonated and involved in linear O‐H···O inter‐molecular bridges of 2.46 Å. The mixed‐ligand complexes [Cu(iPIDA)(H2?im)(H₂O)]·3H₂O ( 2 ) and [Cu(iPIDA)(H5?im)]_n ( 3 ) have also been synthesized and studied by thermal, spectral, magnetic and X‐ray diffraction methods. Both complexes exhibit a square base pyramidal coordination, type 4+1. Compound 3 is the less steric hindered 'remote' isomer, with H5?im instead of H4?im.     

复合物HNO···H2O2内N-H···O蓝移氢键的理论研究

A theoretical study on the blue-shifted H-bond N-H…O and red-shifted H-bond O-H…O in the complexHNO…H_2O_2 was conducted by employment of both standard and counterpoise-corrected methods to calculate thegeometric structures and vibrational frequencies at the MP2/6-31G(d),MP2/6-31 G(d,p),MP2/6-311 q G(d,p),B3LYP/6-31G(d),B3LYP/6-31 G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) levels.In the H-bond N-H…O,the calcu-lated blue shift of N-H stretching frequency is in the vicinity of 120 cm~(-1) and this is indeed the largest theoreticalestimate of a blue shift in the X-H…Y H-bond ever reported in the literature.From the natural bond orbital analy-sis,the red-shifted H-bond O-H…O can be explained on the basis of the dominant role of the hyperconjugation.For the blue-shifted H-bond N-H…O,the hyperconjugation was inhibited due to the existence of significant elec-tron density redistribution effect,and the large blue shift of the N-H stretching frequency was prominently due tothe rehybridization of sp~n N-H hybrid orbital.     

Syntheses,antitumor activities,and antiangiogenesis of exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl‐ 5‐fluorouracil and its polymers

A new monomer, exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl‐5‐fluorouracil (ETFU), was synthesized by the reaction of exo‐3,6‐epoxy‐1,2,3,6‐tetrahydrophthalimidoethanoyl chloride (ETPC) and 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). The homopolymer of ETFU and its copolymers with acrylic acid (AA) and vinyl acetate (VAc) were prepared via photopolymerizations with 2,2‐dimethoxy‐2‐phenylacetophenone at 25 °C for 48 h. The structures of the synthesized monomer and polymers were identified by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The ETFU contents in poly(ETFU‐co‐AA) and poly(ETFU‐co‐VAc) were 26 mol % and 26 mol %, respectively. The number‐average molecular weights of the polymers, as determined by gel permeation chromatography, ranged from 5600 to 17,000. The in vitro cytotoxicities of 5‐FU and the synthesized samples against mouse mammary carcinoma and human histiocytic lymphoma cancer cell lines increased in the following order: ETFU > 5‐FU > poly(ETFU‐co‐AA) > poly(ETFU) > poly(ETFU‐co‐VAc). The in vivo antitumor activities of the polymers against Balb/C mice bearing the sarcoma 180 tumor cells were greater than those of 5‐FU at all doses tested. The inhibitions of the samples for SV40 DNA replication and antiangiogenesis were much greater than the inhibition of the control. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Some new (S)‐1‐aryl‐N‐(1‐hydroxy‐3‐phenylpropan‐2‐yl)‐5‐methyl‐1 H‐1,2,3‐triazole‐4‐carboxamides 4a , 4b , 4c , 4d , 4e , 4f , 4g , 4h , 4i , 4j have been synthesized and established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR, IR, MS spectra, CHN analyses, and x‐ray diffraction crystallography. The molecular conformation and packing is stabilized by interactions of intermolecular H‐bond O2’‐H2'···O1, O2‐H2···O1’ and intramolecular H‐bond N4’‐H4'N···N3’, N4’‐H4'N···O2’, N4‐H4N···N3, N4‐H4N···O2.

A new,validated HPLC‐MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of the anti‐cancer agent capecitabine and its metabolites: 5′‐deoxy‐5‐fluorocytidine, 5′‐deoxy‐5‐fluorouridine, 5‐fluorouracil and 5‐fluorodihydrouracil,in human plasma

A rapid and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of capecitabine and its metabolites 5′‐deoxy‐5‐fluorocytidine (5′‐DFCR), 5′‐deoxy‐5‐fluorouracil (5′‐DFUR), 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) and dihydro‐5‐fluorouracil (FUH₂) in human plasma. A 200 μL human plasma aliquot was spiked with a mixture of internal standards fludarabine and 5‐chlorouracil. A single‐step protein precipitation method was employed using 10% (v/v) trichloroacetic acid in water to separate analytes from bio‐matrices. Volumes of 20 μL of the supernatant were directly injected onto the HPLC system. Separation was achieved on a 30 × 2.1 mm Hypercarb (porous graphitic carbon) column using a gradient by mixing 10 mm ammonium acetate and acetonitrile–2‐propanol–tetrahydrofuran (1 : 3 : 2.25, v/v/v). The detection was performed using a Finnigan TSQ Quantum Ultra equipped with the electrospray ion source operated in positive and negative mode. The assay quantifies a range from 10 to 1000 ng/mL for capecitabine, from 10 to 5000 ng/mL for 5′‐DFCR and 5′‐DFUR, and from 50 to 5000 ng/mL for 5‐FU and FUH₂ using a plasma sample of 200 μL. Correlation coefficients (r²) of the calibration curves in human plasma were better than 0.99 for all compounds. At all concentration levels, deviations of measured concentrations from nominal concentration were between ?4.41 and 3.65% with CV values less than 12.0% for capecitabine, between ?7.00 and 6.59% with CV values less than 13.0 for 5′‐DFUR, between ?3.25 and 4.11% with CV values less than 9.34% for 5′‐DFCR, between ?5.54 and 5.91% with CV values less than 9.69% for 5‐FU and between ?4.26 and 6.86% with CV values less than 14.9% for FUH₂. The described method was successfully applied for the evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profile of capecitabine and its metabolites in plasma of treated cancer patients.

Time‐dependent density functional theory study on the electronic excited‐state hydrogen‐bonding dynamics of 4‐aminophthalimide (4AP) in aqueous solution: 4AP and 4AP–(H2O)1,2 clusters

The time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method has been carried out to investigate the excited‐state hydrogen‐bonding dynamics of 4‐aminophthalimide (4AP) in hydrogen‐donating water solvent. The infrared spectra of the hydrogen‐bonded solute?solvent complexes in electronically excited state have been calculated using the TDDFT method. We have demonstrated that the intermolecular hydrogen bond C? O···H? O and N? H···O? H in the hydrogen‐bonded 4AP?(H₂O)₂ trimer are significantly strengthened in the electronically excited state by theoretically monitoring the changes of the bond lengths of hydrogen bonds and hydrogen‐bonding groups in different electronic states. The hydrogen bonds strengthening in the electronically excited state are confirmed because the calculated stretching vibrational modes of the hydrogen bonding C?O, amino N? H, and H? O groups are markedly red‐shifted upon photoexcitation. The calculated results are consistent with the mechanism of the hydrogen bond strengthening in the electronically excited state, while contrast with mechanism of hydrogen bond cleavage. Furthermore, we believe that the transient hydrogen bond strengthening behavior in electroniclly excited state of chromophores in hydrogen‐donating solvents exists in many other systems in solution. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hydrogen Bonding Interaction of Formic Acid-, Formaldehyde-, Formylfluoride-Nitrosyl Hydride： Theoretical Study on the Geometries, Interaction Energies and Blue- or Red-Shifted Hydrogen Bonds

The hydrogen bonding interaction of formic acid-, formaldehyde-, formylfluoride-nitrosyl hydride complexes was investigated by the density functional theory （DFT） and ab inito method in conjunction with 6-311＋＋G（2d,2p） basis set. The geometries, vibrational frequencies and interaction energies of the complexes were calculated by both standard and CP-corrected methods respectively. Moreover, G3B3 method was employed to estimate the interaction energies. There are C--H…O, N--H…O, N--H…F blue-shifted H-bonds and red-shifted O----H…O H-bond in the complexes. Electron density redistribution and rehybridization contribute to the N--H and C--H blue shifts. All geometric reorganizations contribute to the N--H blue shifts and partial geometric reorganizations contribute to the C--H blue shifts. The geometric reorganizations of the complex C except ZH（5）-O（4）-C（1） contribute to the O----H red shift. For the N--H blue shifts, the effect of r（N--O） variation on the N--H blue shifts is larger than that of ZH-N-O variation. Rehybridization plays a dominant role in the degree of N--H blue shifts, whereas the electron density redistribution contributes more to the degree of C--H blue shifts than the other effects do.     

7‐Vinyl‐8‐aza‐7‐de­aza‐2′‐deoxy­adenosine monohydrate

In the title compound, 4‐amino‐1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐eythro‐pento­furan­osyl)‐3‐vinyl‐1H‐pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine monohydrate, C₁₂H₁₅N₅O₃·H₂O, the conformation of the gly­cosyl bond is anti. The furan­ose moiety is in an S conformation with an unsymmetrical twist, and the conformation at the exocyclic C—C(OH) bond is +sc (gauche, gauche). The vinyl side chain is bent out of the heterocyclic ring plane by 147.5 (5)°. The three‐dimensional packing is stabilized by O—H·O, O—H·N and N—H·O hydrogen bonds.     

Rapid evaluation of the binding energies between peptide amide and DNA base

The binding energies and the equilibrium hydrogen bond distances as well as the potential energy curves of 20 hydrogen‐bonded amide–base dimers are evaluated from the analytic potential energy function established in our laboratory recently. The analytic potential energy function is used to calculate the N? H···N, N? H···O?C, C? H···N, and C? H···O?C dipole–dipole attractive interaction energies and C?O···O?C, N? H···H? N, and N? H···H? C dipole–dipole repulsive interaction energies in the 20 dimers composed of DNA bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine and peptide amide. The calculation results show that the potential energy curves obtained from the analytic potential energy function are in good agreement with those obtained from MP2/6‐311+G** calculations by including the basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction. For all the 20 dimers, the analytic potential energy function yields the binding energies of the MP2/6‐311+G** with BSSE correction within the error limits of 0.50 kcal/mol for 19 dimers, only one difference is larger than 0.50 kcal/mol and the difference is only 0.61 kcal/mol. The analytic potential energy function produces the equilibrium hydrogen bond distances of the MP2/6‐311+G** with BSSE correction within the error limits of 0.030 Å for all the 20 dimers. The analytic potential energy function is further applied to four more complicated DNA base‐peptide amide systems involving amino acid side chain and β‐sheet. The values of the binding energies and equilibrium hydrogen bond distances obtained from the analytic potential energy function are also in good agreement with those obtained from MP2 calculations with the BSSE correction. These results demonstrate that the analytic potential energy function can be used to evaluate the binding energies in hydrogen‐bonded peptide amide–DNA base dimers quickly and accurately. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Supramolecular hydrogen‐bonding patterns in the organic–inorganic hybrid compound bis(4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidinium) tetrathiocyanatozinc(II)–4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidine–water (1/2/2)

Zinc thiocyanate complexes have been found to be biologically active compounds. Zinc is also an essential element for the normal function of most organisms and is the main constituent in a number of metalloenzyme proteins. Pyrimidine and aminopyrimidine derivatives are biologically very important as they are components of nucleic acids. Thiocyanate ions can bridge metal ions by employing both their N and S atoms for coordination. They can play an important role in assembling different coordination structures and yield an interesting variety of one‐, two‐ and three‐dimensional polymeric metal–thiocyanate supramolecular frameworks. The structure of a new zinc thiocyanate–aminopyrimidine organic–inorganic compound, (C₆H₉ClN₃)₂[Zn(NCS)₄]·2C₆H₈ClN₃·2H₂O, is reported. The asymmetric unit consist of half a tetrathiocyanatozinc(II) dianion, an uncoordinated 4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidinium cation, a 4‐amino‐5‐chloro‐2,6‐dimethylpyrimidine molecule and a water molecule. The Zn^II atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry and is coordinated by four N atoms from the thiocyanate anions. The Zn^II atom is located on a special position (twofold axis of symmetry). The pyrimidinium cation and the pyrimidine molecule are not coordinated to the Zn^II atom, but are hydrogen bonded to the uncoordinated water molecules and the metal‐coordinated thiocyanate ligands. The pyrimidine molecules and pyrimidinium cations also form base‐pair‐like structures with an R₂²(8) ring motif via N—H…N hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by intermolecular N—H…O, O—H…S, N—H…S and O—H…N hydrogen bonds, by intramolecular N—H…Cl and C—H…Cl hydrogen bonds, and also by π–π stacking interactions.     

Ein lamellarer Schichtverband auf der Grundlage von Wasserstoffbrücken und π‐Stapelung: Kristallstruktur des Lithiumkomplexes [Li{C6H4(SO2)2N}(H2O)3] und ein Vergleich mit anderen Metall(I)‐benzol‐1, 2‐di(sulfonyl)amiden

The title complex, obtained by treating ortho‐benzenedisulfonimide (HZ) with LiOH in aqueous solution, has been characterized by low‐temperature X‐ray diffraction (triclinic, space group P&1macr;, Z' = 1). The lithium cation is bonded to one sulfonyl oxygen atom and three water molecules in a distorted tetrahedral configuration [Li‐O 189.3(3)‐201.2(3) pm, O‐Li‐O 98.5(2)‐123.2(2)?]. The zero‐dimensional [Li(Z)(H₂O)₃] complexes, which display an intramolecular O(W)‐H···O hydrogen bond, are cross‐linked via five O(W)‐H···O/N/O(W) interactions and a remarkably short C‐H···O bond (H···O 217 pm, C‐H···O 170?) to form a two‐dimensional assembly comprising an internal polar lamella of metal cations, (SO₂)₂N groups and water molecules, and hydrophobic peripheral regions consisting of protruding benzo groups. In the packing, alternate carbocycles drawn from adjacent layers set up a π‐stacking array of parallel aromatic rings (intercentroid distances 349 and 369 pm, cycle spacings 331 and 336 pm). In a short survey, the currently known crystal packings of seven M^IZ · n H₂O (n ≥ 0) complexes are examined and compared.
