Molecular Structure of trans-4-p-Tolylcyclophosphamide

The ‘trans’ assignment to the slower eluting diastereomer of 4-p-tolylcyclophosphamide is confirmed with a direct structure determination by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2,/c with Z=4 and cell dimensions a=11.636(4), b=12.394(5), c= 11.819(5)Å, β=93.9(3)°. Final R and R are 0.063 and 0.063, respectively.     

Semiempirical versusab initio calculations of molecular properties

A comparative study of the structural parameters in some strained spirohydrocarbons is presented. The theoretical values provided by the STO-3G, MINDO/3 and IMOA methods are in reasonable agreement with each other and with available experimental data offering thus a posteriori justification of the employed approximate schemes.     

Crystalline complexes of N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) hosts with molecular guests

This paper reports crystalline complexes of the new hosts N,N'-ditritylurea (DTU) and N-tritylurea (NTU) with various uncharged molecular guests. The crystal structures of the following complexes were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 115^oK: (I) 1:1 DTU-propanamide — space group C2/c, a=15.839Å, b=9.088Å, c=24.584Å, =111.05^o, Z=4; (II) 1:1 DTU-ethyl N-acetylglycinate — space group P1, a=9.010Å, b=10.800Å, c=19.810 Å, =105.29^o =94.33^o, =93.03^o, Z=2; (III) 2:1 NTU-N, N-dimethylformamide — space group Cc, a=29.614Å, b=8.906Å, c=16.127Å, =121.04^o, Z=4. The three crystal structures are stabilized mainly by a cooperative effect of hydrogen bonding between amide fragments displaced along the shortest axis of each crystal. This interaction occurs between host and guest in complexes I and II, and between host and host in complex III. The latter also represents a cage-type clathrate in which the guest molecules are accommodated in voids between the hydrophobic fragments of four neighboring NTU hosts. On the other hand, complexes of DTU are characterized by a more specific interaction between the two components, each guest molecule being inserted between two adjacent hosts (related by translation) and strongly bound to them via hydrogen bridges. These results illustrate a useful concept in the design of molecular species which can be potential hosts upon crystallization with neutral molecular guests.

Finding all possiblea priori mechanisms for a given type of overall reaction

The method, presented for finding all thea priori possible mechanisms of a certain number of steps for a given type of overall reaction, is applied to finding the possible two-step mechanisms for: overall reactions of the type of molecular rearrangements, and of the type of molecular associations. Many examples from organic, physical or biochemistry are given such as mutarotation of glucose, Henry-Michaelis-Menten enzyme mechanism, rearrangements of halogenoamines, hydration of epoxides, etc. The approach provides a systematics for otherwise diverse mechanisms.

采用高灵敏度,高分辨率激光磁共振光谱(LMR)方法在6μm谱段测量了自由基分子NH₂υ₂带的σ谱(△M_J=±1)。重复了前人已测过的谱,结果与之较好符合。并观测到了新谱,在14支激光谱线下共获得约115支塞曼(Zeeman)跃迁谱线,其中在6支激光谱线下新测得的谱线91支。     

A computational study of the chromatographic separation of racemic mixtures

Summary A model is devised using molecular mechanics to simulate chromatographic separations of enantiomers. Theoretical results derived from this model are compared with experimental findings obtained using supercritical fluid chromatography. The model is then developed to incorporate the effects of binding the stationary phase to a matrix. Computed results show that addition of the matrix into the model has significant effects on the ability of the stationary phase to separate racemic mixtures.     

Characterising the geometric diversity of functional groups in chemical databases

Summary We have developed a program, HookSpace, which provides a simplistic approach to assessing the diversity of molecular databases. The spatial relationship between pairs of intramolecular functional groups can be analysed in a variety of ways to provide both qualitative and quantitative measures of diversity. Results are described and contrasted for two commercially available databases and a combinatorial library of benzodiazepam derivatives. HookSpace highlights the main differences in molecular content of these data sets.
