Synthesis and spectral studies of 1,3-diketonate derivatives ofortho-palladated α-arylalkylamines

Synthesis of acetylacetonate derivatives of a series ofortho-palladated complexes based on secondary and tertiary -arylalkylamines was described. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by IR, UV,¹H NMR, and CD spectra. Fragmentation processes of these complexes and some model compounds were studied by mass spectrometry (EI). An unusual rearrangement of a molecular ion involving migration of the hydrogen atom from the alkylaminoalkyl group to the palladium atom to form a hydride intermediate followed by the elimination of PdH was observed. The rearrangement occurs through isomerization of the ²-O,O-coordinated -diketonate ligand to the ¹-C-bonded diketonyl form to give the coordinationally unsaturated metal center.Translated fromIsvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A Review on the Potential and Limitations of Recyclable Thermosets for Structural Applications

Abstract

The outstanding performance of conventional thermosets arising from their covalently cross-linked networks directly results in a limited recyclability. The available commercial or close-to-commercial techniques facing this challenge can be divided into mechanical, thermal, and chemical processing. However, these methods typically require a high energy input and do not take the recycling of the thermoset matrix itself into account. Rather, they focus on retrieving the more valuable fibers, fillers, or substrates. To increase the circularity of thermoset products, many academic studies report potential solutions which require a reduced energy input by using degradable linkages or dynamic covalent bonds. However, the majority of these studies have limited potential for industrial implementation. This review aims to bridge the gap between the industrial and academic developments by focusing on those which are most relevant from a technological, sustainable and economic point of view. An overview is given of currently used approaches for the recycling of thermoset materials, the development of novel inherently recyclable thermosets and examples of possible applications that could reach the market in the near future.     

Chiroptical detection. Novel possibilities of its application to enantiomers

Summary Polarimetric and/or circular dichroic detection of enantiomers after liquid chromatography on optically active sorberts has been used for the following purposes: determination of enantiomeric purity in spite of peak overlap, investigation of enantiomerization during chromatography, monitoring of racemizations and recording of circular dichrograms without preparative enrichment of enantiomers. Novel examples for all applications are give. The general prospects for chiroptical detection are discussed.     

Circular dichroism spectra of the inclusion complexes of phlorizin in cyclodextrins

Two aromatic rings of a phlorizin molecule form inclusion complexes with -CD and -CD. Induced circular dichroism spectra of these complexes have been measured to estimate the orientation of the two aromatic rings in the hydrophobic space of CDs. Apparent complex formation constants have been also estimated for each complex. It is concluded that phlorizin forms a stronger inclusion complex with -CD than with -CD.     

Helical poly(3-methyl-4-vinylpyridine)/amino acid complexes: preparation, characterization, and biocompatibility

Helical poly(3-methyl-4-vinylpyridine) (P3M4VP)/amino acid complexes have been prepared via acid-base reaction of the achiral polymer with D and L amino acids: alanine, leucine, valine, serine and phenylalanine. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of P3M4VP/D- and L-alanine complexes in CH(3)OH/H(2)O show opposing (near mirror image) Cotton effect signals at 278.4, 274.8 and 270.8 nm, indicating the formation of enantiomeric secondary structures. The formation of the enantiomeric structures is supported by observed [alpha](D)(25) values of -3.0 and +3.0 for the P3M4VP/D-alanine and P3M4VP/L-alanine complexes, respectively. The preparation of helical P3M4VP/amino acid complexes has been carried out in CH(3)OH and H(2)O at pH 1.8 and 2.7. The intensities of the Cotton effect signals were good. For example, for the P3M4VP/L-alanine complexes in CH(3)OH/H(2)O and H(2)O (pH 1.8), the second Cotton effect signal around 275-277 nm show [theta;] values of 49 980 and 79 210 deg . cm(2) . dmol(-1), respectively. The formation of the helical secondary structure is rapid. The acid-base reaction between P3M4VP and L-alanine in CH(3)OH/H(2)O, in 10 min, show a CD spectrum with Cotton effect signals at 274 and 272 nm with [theta] values of 27,000 deg . cm(2) . dmol(-1) and -36,000 deg . cm(2) . dmol(-1), respectively. P3M4VP permits ready conformational reorientation on complexation with amino acids, but once the helical P3M4VP/amino acid complexes are formed, it is stable at room temperature. P3M4VP is not compatible with HeLa ovarian cancer cells, but the helical P3M4VP/amino acid complexes are compatible with HeLa cells. The complexes minimally interfere with the adhesion and growth of HeLa cells on complex surfaces. Helical poly(3-methyl-4-vinylpyridine)/D- and L-alanine complexes support the attachment and growth of HeLa cells. The micrographs shows HeLa cells after three days: left panel: on P3M4VP/L-alanine complex; right panel: on P3M4VP/D-alanine complex.     

稀土金属离子与人血清白蛋白的相互作用

本文用荧光光谱、紫外-可见吸收光谱法和循环伏安法研究了稀土金属离子Eu(Ⅲ)、Pr(Ⅲ)与人血清白蛋白(HSA)的相互作用。实验发现：Eu(Ⅲ)和Pr(Ⅲ)对HSA有较强的荧光猝灭作用。用Stern-Volmer方程分别对实验数据进行处理，结果发现：HSA与Eu(Ⅲ)、Pr(Ⅲ)发生反应生成了新的复合物，发生了分子内的非辐射能量转移。Eu(Ⅲ)、Pr(Ⅲ)对HAS的荧光猝灭作用，属于静态荧光猝灭。荧光猝灭图表明：Eu³⁺和Pr³⁺在HSA分子中至少有两类结合位点，Eu³⁺与HSA形成2.76∶1的复合物，结合常数lgK分别为12.03和9.05；Pr³⁺与HSA形成2.2∶1的复合物，结合常数lgK分别为9.89和6.97。同时用圆二色谱及同步荧光光谱法探讨了 Eu(Ⅲ)和Pr(Ⅲ)对HSA构象的影响。     

Calculation of circular dichroism spectra of michellamines A and C, based on a complete conformational analysis

The first quantum chemical calculation of the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of michellamines has been achieved, based on a complete quantum chemical conformational analysis. Michellamines are dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids and thus naturally occurring quateraryls, with a large molecular size and flexibility and equipped with stereogenic centers and axes.     

Can magnetic circular dichroism tackle the problem of site symmetry in solutions?

A new approach to unravel the site symmetry of lanthanides in solutions is presented. The magnetic circular dichroism spectra of Eu³⁺ in the symmetries D_3h, C_4v and D_2d are simulated. In these simulations, the main idea is to introduce the magnetic field along a 3-fold axis, being the resultant of the three equivalent X-, Y- and Z-direction of a cube. This implies that the parallel and perpendicular Zeeman effects are taken into account simultaneously.     

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate by β- and γ-cyclodextrins in mixed solvent systems as studied by induced circular dichroism. The role of cosolvent hydrophobicity

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate (ADC) by- and-cyclodextrins in water containing an organic solvent has been studied by induced circular dichroism. It has been shown that an increase of organic solvent ratio causes the degradation of the 1:1 ADC:-CD complex and the liberation of one guest molecule from the 2:1 ADC:-CD complex in water. The higher the hydrophobicity of the cosolvent, the weaker the complexation of ADC by-CD.
