Four infinite complexes X 1 [Ni(NCS) 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 ], X 2 [Co(NCS) 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 ] and X 2 [M(N 3 )(4,4'-oda) 2 ]NO 3 [M=Cd II ( 3 ) or Co II ( 4 )] were obtained by reactions 4,4'-oxydianiline (4,4'-oda) with Ni(SCN) 2 , Co(SCN) 2 , Cd(N 3 ) 2 and Co(N 3 ) 2 , respectively which have been structurally established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 contains one-dimensional double-stranded chains comprising 24-membered Ni 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 macrocycles, each formed by two 4,4'-oda ligands and two octahedral Ni II centers. Complex 2 exhibits two-dimensional non-interpenetrating networks consisting of large 48-membered macrocycles each formed by four 4,4'-oda ligands and four octahedral Co II centers. The crystal structures of 3 and 4 are isomorphous and both contain one-dimensional double-stranded chains comprising 24-membered M 2 (4,4'-oda) 2 macrocycles, which are interlinked by w -1,3-azide groups to generate cationic two-dimensional sheets. These sheets are further connected by hydrogen bonds between the amine groups and nitrate ions to furnish three-dimensional networks.

QSAR and mode of action studies of insecticidal ecdysone agonists†

A series of our SAR and QSAR studies of synthetic moulting hormone agonists, dibenzoylhydrazines (DBH), exhibiting insecticidal/larvicidal activity are reviewed in this article. We prepared a number of analogues where various substituents are introduced into the two benzene rings of DBH and measured their biological activity using various biological systems. Larvicidal activity was against larvae of the rice stem borer Chilo suppressalis and the moulting hormone activity was in terms of the stimulation of N-acetylglucosamine incorporation in a cultured integument system of the same insect species. Binding affinity to the ecdysone receptor was assayed with intact Sf-9 cell lines in which the ADME processes are negligible as well as using receptor proteins obtained by in vitro translation of the responsible cDNA cloned from cell-free preparation of integumentary tissue of C. suppressalis. Variations in the biological activity indices were either correlated between two types of activity or correlated using physicochemical molecular and substituent parameters in terms of the classical QSAR. Comparisons among correlations and with recently revealed X-ray crystallographic findings clearly indicate the physicochemical meaning of parameters significant in the correlation equations to help understanding molecular mechanism of the moulting hormonal action.

Self‐Assembled Monolayers of Cucurbit[6]uril on a Gold Electrode for 4,4′‐Oxydianiline Determination. Analytical Application

Self‐assembled monolayers of cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) on a gold electrode have been used for 4,4′‐oxydialine (ODA) analysis. The formation of the supramolecular complex between ODA and CB[6] was used for the molecular selection and the electroanalytical determination of this analyte. In addition to this, all the parameters affecting the modification of the gold electrode and the determination of 4,4′‐oxydianiline were optimized by square wave voltammetry. Upon the electrode modification, pentanethiol was employed to fill up the exposed surface between CB[6] molecules. The calculated detection and determination limits were 0.06 µg mL^?1 and 0.19 µg mL^?1, respectively, with good accuracy and precision as shown by the calculated values for the relative error and relative standard deviation (E_r=0.1 % and RDS=2.9 %; n=10 ). Moreover, the developed methodology was successfully applied to the 4,4′‐oxydialine determination in real wastewaters and shoe‐dyeing samples.

Convenient Synthesis of Nucleoside‐5′‐Diphosphates from the Corresponding Ribonucleoside‐5′‐phosphoroimidazole

The reaction of ribonucleoside‐5′‐phosphoroimidazolide with a tributylammonium orthophosphate in anhydrous dimethylformamide at room temperature provides a general method for the synthesis of nucleoside‐5′‐diphosphates. The novelty of the approach is to use the triethylammonium salt of 5′‐monophosphate nucleoside derivative prior to the imidazolate reaction with imidazole, triphenylphosphine, and 2,2′‐dithiodipyridine. Deprotection, followed by displacement of the imidazole moiety using tributylammonium orthophosphate and a catalytic amount of zinc chloride in dimethylformamide gave the desired 5′‐diphosphate products. The triethyl ammonium salt of 5′‐diphosphate nucleosides was purified by flash chromatography using DEAE (diethylaminoethyl weak anion exchange resin) Sepharosa fast flow packed in an XK 50/60 column on an Akta FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography). Synthesis procedures are reported for adenosine‐5′‐diphosphate, uridine‐5′‐diphosphate, cytidine‐5′‐diphosphate, and guanosine‐5′‐diphosphate. Yields for the displacement reactions ranged from 95 to 97%. Thus, this method offers the advantages of shorter reaction time, greater product yield, and a more cost‐effective synthetic route.
