Carbohydrate-based switch-on molecular sensor for Cu(II) in buffer: absorption and fluorescence study of the selective recognition of Cu(II) ions by galactosyl derivatives in HEPES buffer

[graph: see text] 1-(Beta-D-galactopyranosyl-1'-deoxy-1'-iminomethyl)-2-hydroxynaphthalene (L1), possessing an ONO binding core, was found to be selective for Cu2+ ions in N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N'-[2-ethanesulfonic acid] buffer, at concentrations < or = 580 ppb, at physiological pH by eliciting switch-on behavior, whereas the other ions, viz., Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+, caused no significant change in the fluorescence. Whereas the binding characteristics were ascertained by absorption spectroscopy, the species formed were shown by Q-TOF ES MS.     

Application of ionic liquid doped solid polymer electrolyte

The electrical, structural, and photoelectrochemical properties of the polymer electrolyte PEO:NaI/I₂ doped with an ionic liquid 1-ethyl 3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide (EMImDCN) have been reported. Incorporation of the ionic liquid (IL) increases the membrane homogeneity, decreased surface roughness, and enhances the short current (J _sc). Additionally, the doping of IL provides more charge carriers which enhances overall ionic conductivity (σ). The optimized σ was found at 40 wt.% IL composition. The fabricated DSSC using this new solid electrolyte showed 1.43% efficiency at 100 mW cm⁻².     

The Electronic and Infrared Absorption Spectra of Toluene-d

Abstract

The infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra of toluene-d have been investigated for the first time in the regions 400 - 4000 cm^?1 and 2350 ?2750 A° respectively. The intense band at 2666.3 A°(37494 cm^?1) in the u.v. vapour absorption spectrum has been identified as the o,o band and others have been interpreted in terms of the three (519,632 and 785 cm^?1) ground state and the six (454,526,743,935,963 and 1180 cm^?1 excited state fundamentals. The correlation of the various frequencies of the ground and excited states of toluene and toluene-d has been done. The observed isotopic shift for toluene-d is 14 cm^?1.     

Inter- and Intra-Molecular Hydrogen Bonding in Bis(2-amino-5-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)disulfide

Abstract  Bis(2-amino-5-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)disulfide was obtained by oxidation of 2-amino-5-fluoro-3-methylbenzenethiol and was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray structure was determined. Crystal data: C₁₄H₁₄N₂F₂S₂: Monoclinic, P2₁ /n, a = 11.8268(3), b = 9.5770(3), c = 12.3977(3) ?, β = 98.079(2)°, V = 1390.29(7) ?, Z = 4. The supramolecular structure arises because the NH₂ groups form three center S···H···F hydrogen bonds and two center N–H···F and N–H···S hydrogen bonds.

Ratnani^3* Bis(2-amino-5-fluoro-3-methylphenyl)disulfide is linked into a three-dimensional frame work by a combination of intermolecular N–H···F and N–H···N and intramolecular N–H···S hydrogen bonds. The supramolecular structure arises because the NH₂ groups form three center S···H···F hydrogen bonds and two center N–H···F and N–H···S hydrogen bonds.

Gold(I)/Chiral Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Enantioselective Hydroamination–Hydroarylation of Alkynes: The Effect of a Remote Hydroxyl Group on the Reactivity and Enantioselectivity

The catalytic enantioselective hydroamination–hydroarylation of alkynes under the catalysis of (R₃P)AuMe/(S)‐3,3′‐bis(2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl)‐1,1′‐binaphthyl‐2,2′‐diyl hydrogenphosphate ((S)‐TRIP) is reported. The alkyne was reacted with a range of pyrrole‐based aromatic amines to give pyrrole‐embedded aza‐heterocyclic scaffolds bearing a quaternary carbon center. The presence of a hydroxyl group in the alkyne tether turned out to be very crucial for obtaining products in high yields and enantioselectivities. The mechanism of enantioinduction was established by carefully performing experimental and computational studies.

Catalytic Enantioselective 1,3‐Alkyl Shift in Alkyl Aryl Ethers: Efficient Synthesis of Optically Active 3,3′‐Diaryloxindoles

Reported is the first organocatalytic asymmetric 1,3‐alkyl shift in alkyl aryl ethers for the synthesis of chiral 3,3′‐diaryloxindoles using a chiral Brønsted acid catalyst. Preliminary results showed that each enantiomer of the 3,3′‐diaryloxindole, and a racemic mixture, showed different antiproliferative activities against HeLa cell lines by using an MTT assay.
