Metal-free inorganic ligands for colloidal nanocrystals: S2-, HS-, Se2-, HSe-, Te2-, HTe-, TeS3(2-), OH-, and NH2- as surface ligands

All-inorganic colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by replacing organic capping ligands on chemically synthesized nanocrystals with metal-free inorganic ions such as S(2-), HS(-), Se(2-), HSe(-), Te(2-), HTe(-), TeS(3)(2-), OH(-) and NH(2)(-). These simple ligands adhered to the NC surface and provided colloidal stability in polar solvents. The versatility of such ligand exchange has been demonstrated for various semiconductor and metal nanocrystals of different size and shape. We showed that the key aspects of Pearson's hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB) principle, originally developed for metal coordination compounds, can be applied to the bonding of molecular species to the nanocrystal surface. The use of small inorganic ligands instead of traditional ligands with long hydrocarbon tails facilitated the charge transport between individual nanocrystals and opened up interesting opportunities for device integration of colloidal nanostructures.     

Synthesis of (2S,4S)- and (2S,4R)-5-fluoroleucine and (2S,4S)-[5,5-2H2]-5-fluoroleucine

Syntheses of (2S,4S)- and (2S,4R)-5-fluoroleucine, and, and of (2S,4S)-[5,5-(2)H(2)]-5-fluoroleucine, have been completed. The methodology allows these compounds to be prepared in sufficient quantities for incorporation by solid-state protein synthesis into strategic sites in proteins for folding studies. X-ray structures of the epimers and have been obtained and show the presence of conformational isomerism. The torsion angles between the F-C bond and the main chain are compared with values found in a mutant of the protein ubiquitin in which (2S,4S)-5-fluoroleucine replaces leucine residues 50 and 67 in the native protein.     

PdS2C2(COOMe)2](6n) (n = 0, -1, -2, -3, -4): hexanuclear homoleptic palladium dithiolene complexes

Reaction of a stoichiometric equivalent of the zinc-dithiolene complex, (tmeda)ZnS2C2(COOMe)2 (tmeda = tetramethylethylenediamine), with (MeCN)2PdCl2 results in a 1:1 homoleptic dithiolene that forms the hexanuclear cluster [PdS2C2(COOMe)2]6 (1). X-ray structure analysis of 1 indicates a Pd6S12 core comprised of six face-centered palladium atoms and 12 edge-centered sulfur atoms situated on an imaginary approximate cube. Complex 1 undergoes four distinct and reversible one-electron redox steps in dichloromethane at -186, -484, -1174, and -1524 mV versus a standard calomel electrode (ferrocenium+/ferrocene redox couple 409 mV). The two-electron reduction product of 1, [Bu4N]2[(PdS2C2(COOMe)2)6] (2), has been chemically isolated and characterized.

正如前文报道,l,3,4—噻二唑类杂环之所以有除草,植物生长调节,驱虫以及消炎等多种生物活性,无疑起因于噻唑母核。尽管母核上取代基不起主导作用,但它作为辅助基,在改善分子溶解性以及药效方面所产生的影响是不能忽略的。因而深入研究各种生物活性基团导入噻二唑环母核以制得多结构单元聚集于同一分子中的噻二唑新衍生物,对于开发多功能新药具有一定的理论意义和实际价值。

Synthesis and optical behaviors of 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)-, and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkylimidazole homologues

Eight 2-(9-phenanthrenyl)-, 2-(9-anthryl)- and 2-(1-pyrenyl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds, three 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylphenanthroimidazole compounds and five 4,5-diphenyl-1-alkyl-2-(9-anthryl)imidazole compounds were synthesized by alkylation reactions of the corresponding benzimidazole, phenanthroimidazole or imidazole compounds. 2-(10-Bromo-9-anthryl)-1-alkyl-benzimidazole compounds were prepared by bromination reaction of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-alkylbenzimidazole compounds. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS or HRMS; their absorption coefficients (), maximum absorption λ_amax, fluorescence emission maximum λ_em, Stokes shifts and fluorescence quantum yields (Φ_F) in ethyl acetate were determined; their fluorescent lifetimes (T₁ and T₂) were measured in ethyl acetate and in solid state, respectively. The crystal structure of 2-(9-anthryl)-1-n-butyl-4,5-diphenylimidazole (12a) was determined to be triclinic, space group P-1 types, using single crystal X-ray crystallography technique. The results showed that these compounds exhibited moderate fluorescence-emission abilities and higher solubility in most organic solvents than their corresponding starting materials. The relationships between the optical behaviors and structures for these compounds were discussed.     

Enthalpy of hydrophobic hydration separately estimated for each -CH2-, -CF2-, and -OCH2CH2- unit component of amphiphiles and of related compounds

The enthalpy of hydrophobic hydration, DeltaH(HH), was separately estimated for each apolar segment of amphiphiles and of related compounds. The specimens analyzed in this study were the homologs and analogs of sodium alkyl sulfate, alkyltrimethylammonium bromide, ammonium perfluoroalkylcarboxylate, and polyethylene glycols. The DeltaH(HH) was calculated from the adiabatic compressibility beta of aqueous solution systematically measured for each homologs at varying concentrations and temperatures. Those data reported in the previous paper were utilized. The DeltaH(HH) estimated for each -CH(2)-, -CF(2)-, and -OCH(2)CH(2)- segments in both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts of the amphiphiles was found to change depending on its locations in the molecule. The DeltaH(HH) for the first -CH(2)- unit which is adjacent to the head sulfate group of H(CH(2))(n)SO(4)Na was found to be negligibly small; however, it increases gradually as the position of the unit moves apart from the anionic head group and attains as large as -26.5 kcal/mol for the eighth -CH(2)-. The change of DeltaH(HH) of -CF(2)- unit in F(CF(2))(n)COONH(4) shows the similar tendency to H(CH(2))(n)SO(4)Na. The value of DeltaH(HH) is as small as -8 kcal/mol for the first -CF(2)-, however, it increases to -16 kcal/mol for the fifth -CF(2)-, which is 1.5 times larger than that of the fifth -CH(2)- of alkyl sulfate. Contrary to this, all the DeltaH(HH) of the methylenes of cationic surfactant ranging from the second to the eighth -CH(2)- units of H(CH(2))(n)N(CH(3))(3)Br take a similar value around -8 kcal/mol of -CH(2)- irrespective of their positions. The first -CH(2)- unit which is equivalent to that of quaternary ammonium [HCH(2)](4)NBr shows slightly higher value of -9.0 kcal/mol of the first -CH(2)- than those for the second to eighth -CH(2)-. This seems to suggest that the cationic core nitrogen has an enhancing effect on hydrophobic hydration. The hydration enthalpy DeltaH(OEH) of each oxyethylene (OE) unit of polyethylene glycol was also estimated for H(OCH(2)CH(2))(p)OH (p=1-4) homologues to see the roles of ether oxygen and hydroxyl groups in hydrophobic hydration. The value of DeltaH(OEH) showed its maximum -13.1 kcal/mol for the OE unit located at the middle of three. The other two units at both ends were found to take the value of -9.9 kcal/mol, smaller than that at the center. This could suggest that the hydrophobic hydration of the ethylene segment is largely enhanced by the neighboring ether oxygens.

N,1-(15)N2]-2'-deoxyadenosines

[reaction: see text] An efficient route to deoxyadenosine derivatives labeled on both the amino group and nitrogen 1 is uncovered. First, 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-1-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl)inosine (2a) and only 1.1 equiv of (15)NH4Cl are used for labeling position 1 (1a) through the isolation of the open intermediate and its cyclization with DBU in anhydrous CH3CN. Inosine 1a is then converted to [N,1-(15)N2]-3',5'-di-O-acetyl-N6-benzoyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (5a, the precursor of 6a) via a Pd/dppf-catalyzed chloride-to-benzamide replacement, by using again only 1.1 equiv of the labeling source.

Pyridine-substituted hydroxythiophenes. V. Preparation of 5-(2-, 3-and 4-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophenes

5-(2-, 3- and 4-Pyridyl)-2-t-butoxythiophenes have been prepared in very good yields by Pd(0) catalyzed cross-coupling of the three isomeric bromopyridines with 5-trimethylstannyl-2-t-butoxythiophene derived from 2-bromothiophene via 2-t-butoxythiophene. Dealkylation of 5-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-2-t-but-oxythiophenes with boron trifluoride etherate in dichloromethane at room temperature led to predominant formation of rearranged products, 5-(2- and 3-pyridyl)-3-t-butyl-3-thiolene-2-ones, together with a small amount of 5-(2- and 3-pyridyl)-2-hydroxythiophenes as a mixture of two tautomeric keto forms in the case of the 2-pyridyl and the 3-pyridyl isomers, and exclusive formation of rearranged product in the case of the 4-pyridyl isomer. However, dealkylation of 2-methoxy-5-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)thiophenes, prepared similarly to the 5-(2-, 3- and 4-pyridyl)-2-t-butoxythiophenes, with boron tribromide under the same reaction conditions as above resulted exclusively in the tautomeric mixture of 5-(2- and 3-pyridyl)-3-thiolene-2-ones and 5-(2- and 3-pyridyl)-4-thiolene-2-ones in the case of the 2-pyridyl and 3-pyridyl isomers. In the case of the 4-pyridyl isomer polymerization took place.
