Redox potentials of dopamine and its supramolecular complex with aspartic acid

Dopamine (DA) can be oxidized to dopamine quinone (DAquinone) through a one-step, two-electron redox reaction. The electron transfer property of DA and its supramolecular complex with aspartic acid (Asp) has been investigated by the theoretical calculations. We calculated the standard redox potentials (E ^o) of DA/DAquinone at the MP2/6-31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p), MP2/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p), MP2/6-31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p), and MP2/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels. Comparing the experimental value, the redox potentials of DA/DAquinone obtained at MP2//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MP2//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels can be considered as the upper and lower estimates. DA can form supramolecular complex (DA-Asp) with Asp through hydrogen bond (H-bond). Therefore, the values of 0.631 and 0.628 V obtained at MP2//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and MP2//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) levels for DA-Asp/DAquinone-Asp can be proposed as the upper and lower estimates of a probable (about 0.630 V) value of the corresponding redox potential. The calculated E ^o values of DA-Asp/DAquinone-Asp at the four theoretical levels are upper than those of DA/DAquinone, which indicates that the formation of H-bonds weaken the electron-donating ability of DA.     

Theoretical studies on the intramolecular hydrogen bond and tautomerism of 8-mercaptoquinoline in the gaseous phase and in solution using modern DFT methods

A theoretical quantum chemical study of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in 8-mercaptoquinoline has been carried out. Special attention has been paid to the rotation of S-H bond and intramolecular proton-transfer reactions. Therewith, the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p), B3LYP/6-31+G(2d,2p), MPW1K/6-311++G(d,p), MPW1K/6-31+G(2d,2p), BH&HLYP/6-311++G(d,p), and G96LYP/6-311++G(d,p) methods have been used. By means of the Onsager and PCM reaction field methods, the effects of solvent on hydrogen-bond energies, conformational equilibria, rotational barriers, and tautomerism in aqueous solution have been studied. These simulations were done at the MPW1K/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels. Natural-bond orbital analysis has been performed to study the intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) in the gaseous phase and in aqueous medium. The stability of forms under consideration in solution does not coincide with that in the gaseous phase, underlining a great importance of the electrostatic influence of solvent. Double-proton transfer in the prototropic tautomerization of 8-mercaptoquinoline, one water molecule complex in the gaseous phase and in solution, has been systematically studied. The double-proton transfer occurs concertedly and synchronously. The water-assisted tautomerization is kinetically less, but thermodynamically more favorable, compared to that of the single-proton transfer. As in the case with single-proton transfer, for water-assisted reaction, the tautomerization energies and barrier heights decrease with the increase in dielectric constant, which implies faster and more complete tautomerization of 8-mercaptoquinoline in a polar solvent.     

密度泛函研究细梗胡枝子提取物中新型抗氧化剂的分子结构和活性氧清除机理

The molecular structure and radical scavenging activity of three novel antioxidants from Lespedeza Virgata, lespedezavirgatol, lespedezavirgatal, and lespedezacoumestan, have been studied using density functional theory with the B3LYP and BhandHLYP methods. The optimized geometries of neutral, radical cation, radical and anion forms were obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, in which it was found that all the most stable conformations contain intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The same results were obtained from the MP2 method. The homolytic O-H bond dissociation enthalpy and the adiabatic ionization potential of neutral and anion forms for the three new antioxidants and adiabatic electron affinity and H-atom affinity for hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion radical, and hydrogen peroxide radical were determined both in gas phase and in aqueous solution using IEF-PCM and CPCM model with UAHF or Bondi cavity. The antioxidant activities and reactive oxygen species scavenging mechanisms were then discussed, and the results obtained from different methods are consistent. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities are consistent with the experimental findings of the compounds under investigation.     

Post Hartree–Fock and density functional theory studies on Di-Protonated Allopurinol

Post Hartree–Fock and density functional theory (DFT) methods have been employed to study the molecular properties of Di-Protonated Allopurinol²⁺ tautomers in gaseous and aqueous phase environments. The tautomers in gaseous phase have been optimized at MP2/6-311G(2d,2p) and B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) levels of theory. The self-consistent reaction field theory (SCRF) has been employed to optimize the tautomers in aqueous phase (ε = 78.5) at B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory and the solvent effect has been studied. The structure, energetics and relative stabilities of the tautomers have been analyzed both in gaseous and aqueous phases. The principle of maximum hardness (MHP) has been tested at B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) level of theory. The condensed Fukui functions have been calculated using the atomic charges obtained through Natural population analysis to identify the relative change in the most reactive site of the optimized structures. NMR studies have been carried out, on the basis of Cheeseman coworker’s method, to analyze the molecular environment as well as the delocalization activities of electron clouds.     

Determination of redox potentials for the Watson-Crick base pairs, DNA nucleosides, and relevant nucleoside analogues

Redox potentials for the DNA nucleobases and nucleosides, various relevant nucleoside analogues, Watson-Crick base pairs, and seven organic dyes are presented based on DFT/B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) and B3YLP/6-311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-31+G* levels of calculations. The values are determined from an experimentally calibrated set of equations that correlate the vertical ionization (electron affinity) energy of 20 organic molecules with their experimental reversible oxidation (reduction) potential. Our results are in good agreement with those estimated experimentally for the DNA nucleosides in acetonitrile solutions (Seidel et al. J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 5541). We have found that nucleosides with anti conformation exhibit lower oxidation potentials than the corresponding syn conformers. The lowering in the oxidation potential is due to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction between the 5'-OH group of the sugar and the N3 of the purine bases or C2=O of the pyrimidine bases in the syn conformation. Pairing of adenine or guanine with its complementary pyrimidine base decreases its oxidation potential by 0.15 or 0.28 V, respectively. The calculated energy difference between the oxidation potential for the G.C base pair and that of the guanine base is in good agreement with the experimental value estimated recently (0.34 V: Caruso, T.; et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 15040). The complete and consistent set of reversible redox values determined in this work for the DNA constituents is expected to be of considerable value to those studying charge and electronic energy transfer in DNA.

Charge transfer interaction of 4-acetamidophenol (paracetamol) with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone: a study in aqueous ethanol medium by UV-vis spectroscopic and DFT methods

4-Acetamidophenol (paracetamol) is shown to form charge transfer complex with 2,3-dichloro1,4-naphthoquinone in aqueous ethanol media exhibiting the unusual 2:1 (paracetamol:quinone) stoichiometry. The complexation enthalpy and entropy have been estimated from the formation constant (K) determined spectrophotometrically at five different temperatures. In aqueous ethanol mixtures of varying composition K increases with increasing dielectric constant of the medium. This has been rationalized by calculating the electronic charge distribution in paracetamol molecule and its conjugate base at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level. The theoretically calculated vertical ionization potential of paracetamol also agrees with reported experimental value.     

Conformational stability, the spectroscopic (FT-IR and UV), first order hyperpolarizability, NBO analysis, HOMO and LUMO analysis of 6,8-diphenylimidazo[1,2-α]pyrazine molecule by ab initio HF and density functional methods

The conformational analysis of 6,8-diphenylimidazo[1,2-α]pyrazine molecule (abbreviated as 68DIP) was performed by using B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory to find the most stable form. Two staggered stable conformers were observed on the torsional potential energy surface. The equilibrium geometry, bonding features and vibrational frequencies of 68DIP have been investigated by using the DFT (B3LYP) and HF methods for the lowest energy conformer. The first order hyperpolarizability (β(total)) of this molecular system and related properties (β, μ, <α> and Δα) are calculated using HF/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) methods based on the finite-field approach. Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions, charge delocalization and C-H?N intramolecular hydrogen-bond-like weak interaction has been analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis by using B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. The results show that electron density (ED) in the σ* and π* antibonding orbitals and second order delocalization energies E((2)) confirm the occurrence of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) within the molecule. UV-vis spectrum of the compound was recorded and electronic properties, such as HOMO, LUMO energies, excitation energies and wavelength were performed by TD-DFT/B3LYP, CIS and TD-HF methods by using 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Finally, the calculation results were applied to simulated infrared spectra of the title compound which show good agreement with observed spectra.     

Oxidation of ascorbate and ascorbic acid at the aqueous|organic solution interface

An electron transfer reaction between ascorbate in an aqueous solution and oxidizing agents in an organic solution immiscible with water has been studied for the first time by polarography for charge transfer at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions. A reversible electron transfer polarogram at the aqueous|organic solution interface could be observed when teterachlorobenzoquinone, dibromobenzoquinone and Meldola's Blue were used as oxidizing agents in the organic solution. The oxidation reaction of ascorbate at the aqueous|organic interface was discussed comparing with the reactions at the ordinary electrodes and in homogeneous solutions. The half-wave potentials of electron transfer polarograms at the aqueous|nitrobenzene interface were applied to evaluate the formal redox potential of ascorbate/ascorbate free radical.     

Conformational space of 4,4′-methoxypropylstilbene molecule

Quantum-chemical simulation of the ground state [the density function B3LYP/6-31G, B3LYP/6-31G(d), and B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) and the perturbation theory MP2/6-31G(d) methods] and the transition states [the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method] of 4,4′-methoxypropylstilbene molecule has been performed. Using the Ellinger MM2 force field method, the potentials of internal rotation have been obtained for each rotational degree of freedom of the molecule. The B3LYP simulation has revealed the planarity of the conjugated system and the orthogonal position of the alkyl substituent, whereas the benzene rings have deviated by about 20° with respect to the double bond plane according to the MP2 data. Three transition states of the molecule corresponding to the saddle points of the first and the second orders have been revealed. The stationary points have been identified by means of vibrational analysis.
