Structures of the gauche conformers of some substituted dimethyl ethers. Effect of adjacent atom lone pairs on methyl group asymmetry

The complete equilibrium structures of CH₃OCH₃ and of the gauche conformers of CH₃OCH₂F, HOCH₂F, CH₃OCH₂Cl and H₃OCH₂CN have been determined by ab initio gradient computation at the Hartree—Fock, double zeta-plus-polarization level. The very large asymmetries in C---H bond distances previously reported from microwave substitution structures are shown to be non-existent in the equilibrium structures and are presumably artifacts. Small differences, different in direction from those reported from the experiments and nearly an order of magnitude smaller in size, do exist. They reflect three factors: (1) a lengthening of a C---H bond which is trans to a lone pair on an adjacent atom, (2) a general shortening of C---H bonds originating at a carbon atom bearing a highly electronegative substituent, and (3) a specific interaction in which a C---X substituent shortens the nearly parallel C---H bond on the other methyl group. The last interaction, not previously reported, is mediated by withdrawal of electron density from the oxygen lone pair which is trans to both groups. Other structural features derived from the microwave studies are supported by the new results. p ]Inclusion of polarization functions in the basis set for oxygen is essential for correct determination of the COC angle and the dihedral angles. The dihedral angles of CH₃OCH₂F and HOCH₂F are not correctly determined by the computation even at this level, although the computed values are improved when d functions are used for oxygen and still more by use of two sets of oxygen d functions. Polarization functions on carbon or on fluorine have no effect on the computed torsional angles. There is no problem in computing the correct dihedral angles with the ---Cl or ---CN derivatives.     

Zero-phonon transition of free electrons to bound holes in heavily gallium-doped silicon

A radiative zero-phonon transition of free electrons to bound holes has been observed in heavily gallium-doped silicon at various temperatures. This electronic transition competes with excitonic transitions, and dominates at high temperatures.     

Highly selective glycine phase-transfer catalysis using fluoroanthracenylmethyl cinchonidine catalysts

Fluoroanthracenylmethyl cinchonidine phase-transfer catalysts have been produced and explored for asymmetric glycine alkylation. The fluoroanthracenylmethyl precursors were made from aryloxazolidinones and aldehydes using an efficient electrophilic substitution with phosphorous pentoxide. The cinchonidine catalysts promote highly selective glycine alkylation under mild conditions. The 1,8-difluoroanthracenyl-10-methyl catalyst 6 (10 mol %) in toluene/THF with 50% aqueous KOH (−20 °C) promoted benzylation of glycine 1 to give 2 in 86% yield, 98% ee. Other electrophiles also gave excellent selectivity and reactivity.     

Ultrasensitive voltammetric detection of trace heavy metal ions using carbon nanotube nanoelectrode array

We describe an ultrasensitive voltammetric detection of trace heavy metal ions using nanoelectrode arrays (NEAs) that are based on low-site density carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The NEAs were prepared by sealing the side-walls of CNTs with an epoxy passive layer that reduces the current leakage and eliminates the electrode capacitance, leading to a low background current. This provides a high signal-to-noise ratio. The CNTs-NEAs coated with a bismuth film were used successfully for voltammetric detection of trace cadmium(II) and lead(II) at the sub-ppb level. The detection limit of 0.04 microg L(-1) was obtained under optimum experimental conditions. The attractive behavior of the new carbon NEA sensing platform holds great promise for onsite environmental monitoring and biomonitoring of toxic metals.     

Two-dimensional cross-spectral correlation analysis and its application to time-resolved Fourier transform emission spectra of transient radicals

A spectral analysis method, based on the generalized two-dimensional (2D) vibrational spectra correlation analysis, is developed for deciphering the correlation among the spectral peaks of two different spectra. This 2D cross-spectral correlation (2DCSC) analysis is aimed at revealing the vibrational features associated with a common species in two spectra, each obtained from a system containing multiple species with at least one common species. The cross-spectral correlation is based on the premise that the spectral features of the same species should have the same time and frequency responses toward similar perturbations. The effectiveness of the cross-spectral correlation analysis is first illustrated with model systems, with spectral peaks decaying linearly or exponentially with time, before being applied to analyzing time-resolved emission spectra obtained, by a Fourier transform IR spectrometer, for samples consisting of the vibrationally excited transient cyanooxomethyl radical (OCCN). 2DCSC among the three different sets of time-resolved spectra collected following the photodissociation of three different precursor molecules of OCCN, respectively, allows the identification of the CN and CO stretching modes of this radical.     

Role of ion pairing in anionic additive effects on the separation of cationic drugs in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

Mobile phase additives can significantly affect the separation of cationic drugs in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). Although there are many applications for anionic additives in RPLC separations, the retention mechanism of basic drugs in the presence of inorganic and highly hydrophilic anionic species in the mobile phase is not at all well understood. Two major retention mechanisms by which anionic additives can influence the retention of cations are: (1) ion pair formation in the mobile phase with subsequent retention of the neutral ion pair; (2) pre-sorption of anionic additives on the stationary phase followed by "dynamic ion-exchange" or "electrostatic interaction" with the analytes. Because the use of ion pair chromatography in the separation of proteins, peptides, and basic drugs is rapidly increasing, understanding the retention mechanism involved is becoming more important, especially for the smaller commonly used hydrophilic anionic additives (e.g., formate HCOO, chloride Cl-, trifluoroacetate CF3COO-, perchlorate ClO4-, and hexafluorophosphate PF6-). In this work, we compared various anionic additives in light of their effects on the retention of basic drugs. As did many others we found that the addition of anionic additives (Cl-, CF3COO-, ClO4-, PF6-) profoundly influences the retention of basic drugs. In order to explain the data and differentiate the mechanisms by which the anionic additives perturb the chromatography, we used ion pair formation constants independently measured by capillary electrophoresis (CE) under the mobile phase conditions (pH, solvent composition) identical to those used in chromatography. Agreement between the predicted and experimental chromatographic data under various conditions was evaluated. Under specific circumstances (e.g., pH, stationary phase, and nature of anionic additive), we conclude that the ion pair mechanism is more important than the dynamic ion-exchange and at other conditions it remains a significant contribution.
