Measurement of Residual Dipolar Couplings of Organic Molecules in Multiple Solvent Systems Using a Liquid-Crystalline-Based Medium

Residual dipolar coupling (RDC), a robust anisotropic NMR parameter for structural elucidation of organic molecules, is only accessible in an anisotropic environment. Herein, we introduce a novel alignment medium based on the molecular self-assembly of oligopeptide amphiphile (OPA). This medium is compatible with different intermediate and polar solvent systems, such as CD₃OD, [D₆]DMSO, and D₂O. The preparation of the OPA-based medium is simple and rapid, while only very weak background signals were observed from OPAs. Furthermore, we show that the purity of OPA has only a minor influence on the quality of the RDC data. These advantages allow RDC measurements of organic molecules with different polarities and solubilities with high efficiency and accuracy.     

Sextic centrifugal distortion constants: interplay of density functional and basis set for accurate yet feasible computations

Quantum-chemical calculations assist the analysis of laboratory spectra, and often provide the only means to determine spectroscopic data that cannot be accessed experimentally. Accurate predictions of vibrational and rotational spectroscopic parameters are required for applications in the field of high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. While the accuracy issue of the quantum-chemical calculation of vibrational properties and of equilibrium structures has been addressed in the literature, the same is not true for centrifugal distortion constants that however play an essential role for the interpretation of remote sensing data. In this work, the performance of several model chemistries, rooted mainly in density functional theory, in computing sextic centrifugal distortion constants is assessed employing a benchmark set of molecules of both atmospheric and astrochemical relevance. The Jensen’s (aug-)pcs-n basis sets, different flavours of Dunning’s triple-ζ basis sets and the SNSD basis set, are employed in conjunction with different functionals, and their predictions are benchmarked against experimental and theoretical data at the coupled cluster level of theory. This study also demonstrates the reliability of the calculation of sextic centrifugal distortion constants within the Gaussian16 rev. B.01 program package. Reliable predictions of the sextic centrifugal distortion constants for the gauche- and trans-conformers of ethyl-mercaptan are also presented.     

基于三维荧光光谱法和PARAFAC对多环芳烃定性定量分析

三维荧光光谱法在研究多环芳烃(PAHs)类物质的荧光信息时起到了重要作用。多环芳烃类物质具有致癌性,难降解性,多由尾气排放,垃圾焚烧产生,危害着人类健康及环境,因此人们不断探索对多环芳烃检测的方法。实验选取多环芳烃中的苊和萘作为检测物质,利用FLS920荧光光谱仪,为避免荧光光谱仪本身产生的瑞利散射影响,设置起始的发射波长滞后激发波长40 nm,设置扫描的激发波长(λex)范围为:200~370 nm,发射波长(λem)范围为:240~390 nm,对多环芳烃进行荧光扫描获取荧光数据,采用三维荧光光谱技术结合平行因子算法对混合溶液中的苊和萘进行定性定量分析。实验选用的苊和萘均购于阿拉丁试剂官网,配制浓度为10 mg·L-1的一级储备液,再将一级储备液稀释,得到苊和萘浓度为0.5,1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5,4和4.5 mg·L-1的二级储备液,并将苊和萘进行混合。在进行光谱分析前需要对苊和萘的光谱进行预处理,采用空白扣除法扣除拉曼散射的影响,并采用集合经验模态分解(EEMD)消除干扰噪声。实验测得苊存在两个波峰,位于λex=298 nm,λem=324/338 nm处,萘存在一个波峰,位于λex=280 nm,λem=322 nm处。选用的PARAFAC算法对组分数的的选择很敏感,因此采用核一致诊断法预估组分数,估计值2和3的核一致值都在60%以上,分别对混合样品进行了2因子和3因子的PARAFAC分解,将分解后得到的激发发射光谱数据和各组分浓度数据进行归一化处理,并绘制光谱图,与归一化处理后的真实的激发发射光谱图和各组分浓度图进行对比。同时将PARAFAC得到的混合样本的预测浓度,通过计算回收率(R)和均方根误差(RMSEP)来判定定量分析的准确度。选择2因子时,各混合样品中苊和萘拟合度为95.7%和96.7%,平均回收率分别为101.8%和98.9%,均方根误差分别为0.0187和0.0316;选择3因子时,各混合样品中苊和萘拟合度为95.3%和95.8%,平均回收率分别为97%和102.5%,均方根误差分别为0.033和0.116,由三项指标可得选用2因子进行定性定量分析的效果明显好于选用3因子。分析实验结果表明,基于三维荧光光谱法和PARAFAC算法对混合样品进行定性定量分析,能够有效的判定混合样品的类别,同时能够成功的预测出混合样品的浓度。     

Tandem Use of Optical Sensing and Machine Learning for the Determination of Absolute Configuration,Enantiomeric and Diastereomeric Ratios,and Concentration of Chiral Samples

We have developed an optical method for accurate concentration, er, and dr analysis of amino alcohols based on a simple mix‐and‐measure workflow that is fully adaptable to multiwell plate technology and microscale analysis. The conversion of the four aminoindanol stereoisomers with salicylaldehyde to the corresponding Schiff base allows analysis of the dr based on a change in the UV maximum at 420 nm that is very different for the homo‐ and heterochiral diastereomers and of the concentration of the sample using a hypsochromic shift of another absorption band around 340 nm that is independent of the analyte stereochemistry. Subsequent in situ formation of Cu^II assemblies in the absence and presence of base enables quantification of the er values for each diastereomeric pair by CD analysis. Applying a linear programming method and a parameter sweep algorithm, we determined the concentration and relative amounts of each of the four stereoisomers in 20 samples of vastly different stereoisomeric compositions with an averaged absolute percent error of 1.7 %.     

A TDDFT study of some dinuclear compounds containing CpM(CO)3 or CpM(CO)2 groups

The electronic structure and spectroscopy of some representative dinuclear compounds containing CpM(CO)₃ and CpM(CO)₂ groups were studied using TDDFT (Time Dependent Density Functional Theory). These compounds contain Cp (cyclopentadienyl) as a ligand, and M can be Cr, Mo or W. Their main electronic transitions were calculated and the results are in good agreement with the experimental data. This allows the assignment of some bands whose origin was not clear. In all the cases, the carbonyls and Cp groups restrict the symmetry. The molecular orbitals that would be involved in M-M bonding interact strongly with the carbonyls and show unusual shapes and occupations. The strongest electronic bands are caused by σ→σ* transitions in most of the molecules containing CpM(CO)₃ groups, whereas in molecules such as Cp(CO)₂M≡M(CO)₂Cp the most intense bands are produced by π→π* transitions. The origin of other bands is now explained. The effect of the solvent on the electronic transitions and the use of EOM-CCSD method in some compounds were also checked.     

Purity determination of a new antifungal drug candidate using quantitative 1H NMR spectroscopy: Method validation and comparison of calibration approaches

Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) is an analytical technique that offers numerous advantages in pharmaceutical applications including minimum sample preparation and rapid data collection times with no need for response factor corrections, being a powerful tool for assaying drug content in both drug discovery and early drug development. In the present work, we have applied qNMR, using both the internal standard and the electronic reference to access in vivo concentrations 2 calibration methods, to assess the purity of RI76, a novel antifungal drug candidate. NMR acquisition and processing parameters were optimized in order to obtain spectra with intense, well-resolved signals of completely relaxed nuclei. The analytical method was validated following current guidelines, demonstrating selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The calibration approaches were statistically compared, and no significant difference was observed when comparing the obtained results and their dispersion in terms of relative standard deviation. The proposed qNMR method may, therefore, be used for both qualitative and quantitative assessments of RI76 in early drug development and for characterization of this compound.
