Zinc-bound thiolate-disulfide exchange: a strategy for inhibiting metallo-beta-lactamases

The mononuclear zinc thiolate complexes [(Tp(PhMe))Zn(S-R)], where Tp(PhMe) is hydrotris((3-methyl-5-phenyl)pyrazolyl)borate and (S-R) is benzyl thiolate, 4-nitrophenylthiolate, 4-trifluoromethylphenylthiolate, 4-chlorophenylthiolate, phenylthiolate, 2-methylphenylthiolate, 4-methylphenylthiolate, 4-methoxyphenylthiolate, or 4-hydroxyphenylthiolate, were synthesized. Representative members of the class were also characterized structurally. The benzyl thiolate complex undergoes a thiolate-disulfide exchange reaction with a variety of diphenyl and dipyridyl disulfides. Kinetic studies revealed that the reaction shows saturation behavior in both complex and disulfide for most of the disulfides studied. Combined with studies of the lability of the coordinated thiolate, a mechanism is proposed where the reactive species is the zinc-coordinated thiolate. When the free benzyl thiol was allowed to react with the same disulfides, the reaction was slower by a factor of 20-200 than that for the zinc-thiolate complex, depending on the particular disulfide employed. Since most metallo-beta-lactamases contain one or more cysteine residues, the one in the active site being coordinated to zinc, the present study was extended to examine whether disulfides can be used as inhibitors of these enzymes by selective oxidation of the metal-bound cysteine. Several disulfides allowed to react with metallo-beta-lactamase CcrA from Bacteroides fragilis were moderate to potent irreversible inhibitors of the enzyme.

Influence of feedstock source on biocatalyst stability and behavior,and on reactor performance,in continuous intensified ethanol fermentation

An ethanol process based on a gas-lift tower fermenter arrangement was used as a model system to show the strong dependence of reactor behavior on the developing chemical environment within the reactor. The reactor performance limits for realistic substrates—starch and molasses—are characterized and compared with those attainable on an ideal substrate, glucose.

甲基丙烯酸甲酯光引发聚合中的初级自由基终止效应

本文研究了甲基丙烯酸甲酯在30℃时的光引发聚合。当光强较强时,聚合速率和光强的平方根不呈线性关系,聚合速率略低于经典动力学关系式所预示的数值。粘均聚合度的倒数和聚合速率也不呈线性关系。在考虑了初级自由基的终止反应后,这些偏离都得到了合理的解释。 比较甲基丙烯酸甲酯在30℃的光引发聚合和在60℃的过氧化苯甲酰引发聚合的数据,可以看出,初级自由基的终止效应在低温时更为重要。

Novel eclipsed 2D cadmium(II) coordination polymers with open-channel structure constructed from terephthalate and 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole: crystal structures, emission properties, and inclusion of guest molecules

Five new eclipsed two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers, [[Cd(2)(TPT)(2)L(2)](GM(1))(3/2)(H(2)O)](infinity) (1) (TPT = terephthalate, L = 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole, GM(1) = terephthalic acid), [[Cd(TPT)L](GM(2))(H(2)O)(2)]( infinity) (2) (GM(2) = L = 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole), [[Cd(TPT)L](GM(3))(1/2)(H(2)O)](infinity) (3) (GM(3) = mesitylene), [[Cd(4)(TPT)(4)L(4)](GM(4))(7/2)](infinity) (4) (GM(4) = tetramethylbenzene), and [[Cd(TPT)L](GM(5))(1/2)](infinity) (5) (GM(5) = naphthalene), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. All the five complexes take the similar eclipsed 2D open-channel framework with different guest molecules included in the cavities of their channels. TGA analysis indicates that the eclipsed open-channel frameworks are thermally stable up to 300 degrees C. The porous property of the 2D framework of 5 was also investigated by the XRPD technique, which indicated that the guest molecules included in the open-channel frameworks are removable and the framework is maintained after the removal of the guest molecules. Moreover, complexes 1-5 also display strong blue emission in the solid state.

Pushing up the size limit of chalcogenide supertetrahedral clusters: two- and three-dimensional photoluminescent open frameworks from (Cu(5)In(30)S(54))(13-) clusters

Direct band gap copper indium chalcogenides are of great technological importance in part because of their high photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Covalent superlattices constructed from copper indium chalcogenide clusters are of particular interest because they may combine open framework architecture with semiconducting properties. Here two photoluminescent covalent superlattices built from core-shell type copper indium sulfide supertetrahedral clusters are reported. Each cluster consists of 35 metal cations and is so far the largest known supertetrahedral cluster with a metal-to-metal distance of 1.6 nm. In addition, this is the first example of supertetrahedral clusters in heterometallic copper indium chalcogenides. The preparation of these large clusters has narrowed down the size gap between colloidal nanoclusters and small supertetrahedral clusters and revealed new possibilities in the construction of nanoporous semiconducting superlattices with tunable pore size. Through the combination of metal ions with different oxidation states to provide both overall and local charge neutrality, an effective approach has been demonstrated in the rational synthesis of chalcogenide open framework materials with large and unprecedented supertetrahedral clusters.
