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.     

Supramolecular optical sensor arrays for on-site analytical devices

Supramolecular optical chemosensors are useful tools in analytical chemistry for the visualization of molecular recognition information. One advantage is that they can be utilized for array systems to detect multiple analytes. However, chemosensor arrays have been evaluated mainly in the solution phase, which limits a wide range of practical applications. Thus, appropriate solid support materials such as polymer gels and papers are required to broaden the scope of the application of chemosensors as on-site analytical tools. In this review, we summarize the actual approaches for the fabrication of solid-state chemosensor arrays combined with powerful data processing techniques and portable digital recorders for real-world applications.

Inequalities relating to Lp-version of Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality

Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality is a famous open problem in the theory of convex bodies. In this paper, it is shown that an inequality relating to Lp-version of the Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality is developed by using the notions of the Lp-mixed volume and the Lp-dual mixed volume, the relation of the Lp-projection body and the geometric body Г-pK, the Bourgain-Milman inequality and the Lp-Bnsemann-Petty inequality. In addition, for each origin-symmetric convex body, by applying the Jensen inequality and the monotonicity of the geometric body Г-pK, the reverses of Lp-version of the Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality and the Lp-Petty projection inequality are given, respectively.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Biological Activity of 4-Chlorobenzaldehyde (2-trifluoromethylTrifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4 ,5]-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazone Monohydrate

The novel title compound 4-chlorobenzaldehyde (2-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazone monohydrate (C18H14ClF3N4SH2O, Mr = 428.86) has been synthesized by a condensation reaction of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde with (2-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)hydrazine, and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 7.4252(7), b = 26.344(2), c = 10.3095(9) , = 109.407(2)°, V = 1902.0(3) 3 , Z = 4, Dc = 1.498 g/cm3 , μ = 0.356 mm-1 , F(000) = 880, the final R = 0.0564 and wR = 0.1681 for 2343 observed reflections with I > 2 (I). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the title hydrazone molecule is nearly planar except for the cyclohexene and trifluoromethyl moieties. In the crystal packing, the molecules form stacks by a three-dimensional framework, which results from intermolecular N(3)-H(3)···O(1), O(1)-H(1B)···N(2), O(1)- H(1B)···N(4) and O(1)-H(1A)···F(1) hydrogen bonds via water molecules together with π-π stacking interactions. Molecular geometry of the title compound in the ground state optimized by B3LYP functional with 6-311G** basis sets indicates that the calculations are in agreement with the experimental data. The preliminary bioassay suggested that the title compound exhibits relatively good fungicidal activity against Fusarium oxysporium f.sp.vasinfectum and Dothiorella gregaria.
