Solid and Solution Phase Organic Syntheses of Oligomeric Thioureas

In order to study supramolecular architectures built from unnatural oligomeric and polymeric structures, one must first have an efficient synthetic strategy to produce them. Oligomers built from thiourea groups should form complex secondary and tertiary structures due to the hydrogen-bonding capabilities of the thioureas. Herein, both solution and solid phase synthetic procedures that yield oligomeric thioureas are described. They rely on the coupling of an isothiocyanate with an amine to produce the thiourea linkage. The monomers are derived from simple diamines. Higher yields are achieved using the solid phase method due to the ability to easily monitor the extent of reaction, to use a large excess of reagent, and to perform purification after cleavage from the solid support. A variety of oligomers are given as examples. The procedure is quite general, should be easily extended to complex monomers, and will allow the investigation of intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.     

Comparative Study on Triclosan Interactions in Solution and in the Solid State with Natural and Chemically Modified Cyclodextrins

The aim of this study was to investigate the interactions of triclosan (TRI), a poorly water-soluble antimicrobial drug, with natural crystalline cyclodextrins (α-, β- and γ-Cd) and the corresponding hydroxypropylated amorphous derivatives (HPα-, HPβ-, and HPγ-Cd) and evaluate their effectiveness as complexing and solubilizing agents towards the drug. Equimolar solid systems were prepared using different techniques (physical mixing (PM), kneading (KN) and coevaporation (COE)) in order to evaluate the influence of the preparation method on the performance of the end products. Drug–carrier interactions were investigated both in aqueous solution, using phase-solubility analysis, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) techniques, and in the solid state, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) supported by thermograumetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Among the native cyclodextrins, β-Cd seemed to have the most suitable cavity to fit the drug molecule, whereas the α-Cd cavity was too small and the γ-Cd cavity too large to establish stable interactions with the guest. However, due to the B _S -type phase solubility diagram, its solubilizing efficiency was very limited. The presence of the hydroxypropylic substituents improved, in all cases, Cd solubilizing and complexing efficacies towards the drug. This was particularly evident in the case of HPγ-Cd, whose stability constant was about 200-fold higher than that of the native γ-Cd. HPβ-Cd was the most effective carrier for TRI, showing a solubilizing power about 20 times higher than the corresponding native Cd and about 2-fold that of the other hydroxypropyl derivatives. Moreover, a clear influence of the preparation method on the properties of the final products was observed. The COE method with hydroxypropylated cyclodextrins seemed the most suitable technique in achieving the complete drug amorphization and/or inclusion complexation.

Atomistic Simulation Study of Cu0.327Ni0.673 Alloys: from Solid Solution to Phase Segregation

We present a combined Monte‐Carlo/molecular dynamics study of a Cu_0.327Ni_0.673 alloy system. On the basis of nearest‐neighbor coordination number analyses atomic clustering and phase segregation is explored. Along this line, free energy profiles are calculated and separated into entropic and energetic contributions. The competition of both terms was found in accordance to the experimental phase diagrams (phase separation of the solid solution below about 600 Kelvin). Two independent simulation runs were performed. At 1000 Kelvin the observed configurations correspond to solid solutions exhibiting a weak tendency to cluster atoms of identical species. At room temperature the energetic favoring of atomic separation is clearly dominant and leads to the formation of Ni‐rich and Cu‐rich domains. The latter are separated by interfacial regions whose width ranges from 0.5 to 1 nanometers.

Azodicarboxylate-Mediated Peptide Cyclisation: Application to Disulfide Bond Formation in Solution and Solid Phase

Cyclic peptides are important molecules, playing key roles in protein architecture, as chemical probes, and increasingly as crucial structural elements of clinically-useful therapeutics. Herein we report methodology using azodicarboxylates as efficient reagents for the facile synthesis of cyclic peptides through a disulfide bridge. The utility of this approach in both solution and solid-phase, and compatibility with common amino acid side chain functionalities is demonstrated, resulting in cyclic peptides in good yield and purity. This approach has significant potential application for synthesis of molecules of biological or therapeutic significance.     

Synthetic Approach Toward the Partial Sequences of Betaglycan in the Linkage Region on Solid Support and in Solution Phase

We have synthesized, for the first time, the partial sequence of the betaglycan composed of the tetraosyl hexapeptide, which was directly usable as a probe for enzymatic glycosyl transfer. Stepwise elongation afforded the corresponding tetraosyl trichloroacetimidate. The common glycosyl dipeptide:[β‐d‐GlcA‐(1→3)‐β‐d‐Gal‐(1→3)‐β‐d‐Gal‐(1→4)‐β‐d‐Xyl‐(1→O)‐Ser‐Gly] was synthesized by glycosylation of the corresponding tetraosyl trichloroacetimidate and Ser‐Gly moiety. The glycosyl dipeptide was coupled with other core peptide parts in solution phase and on a solid support. These glycosyl hexapeptides were then transformed into the desired target compounds.     

Comparison of the Reactivity of the Three Distonic Isomers of the Pyridine Radical Cation Toward Tetrahydrofuran in Solution and in the Gas Phase

The reactivity of the three distonic isomers of the pyridine radical cation toward tetrahydrofuran is compared in solution and in the gas phase. In solution, the distonic ions were generated by UV photolysis at 300 nm from iodo-precursors in acidic 50:50 tetrahydrofuran/water solutions. In the gas phase, the ions were generated by collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) of protonated iodo-precursors in an FT-ICR mass spectrometer, as described in the literature. The same major reaction, hydrogen atom abstraction, was observed in solution and in the gas phase. Attempts to cleave the iodine atom from the 2-iodopyridinium cation in the gas phase and in solution yielded the 2-pyridyl cation in addition to the desired 2-dehydropyridinium cation. In the gas phase, this ion was ejected prior to the examination of the desired ion’s chemical properties. This was not possible in solution. This study suggests that solvation effects are not significant for radical reactions of charged radicals. On the other hand, the even-electron ion studied, the 2-pyridyl cation, shows substantial solvation effects. For example, in solution, the 2-pyridyl cation forms a stable adduct with tetrahydrofuran, whereas in the gas phase, only addition/elimination reactions were observed.      

Comparative Study on Co-Ground Products of Rofecoxib with β-Cyclodextrin and Its Sulfobutyl Ether-7 Derivative in Solution and in the Solid State

The inclusion behavior of sulfobutyl ether-7 derivative ofβ-cyclodextrin (SBE7βCD), in solution and solidstate was compared with that of natural β-cyclodextrin(βCD) toward a poorly water-soluble anti-inflammatoryagent, rofecoxib (ROFX), chemically 4[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3-phenyl-2 (5H)-furazone. Drug-cyclodextrin solidsystems were prepared by cogrinding in a ball mill. A phasesolubility method was used to evaluate the stoichiometries andstability constants of ROFX-βCD (1 : 1 and 62 M^-1)and ROFX-SBE7βCD (1 : 1 and 132 M^-1) complexes.The formation of inclusion complexes with βCD andSBE7βCD in the solid state were confirmed by infraredspectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry,scanning electron microscopy and in the liquid state by phasesolubility analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy andcircular dichroism studies. Dissolution studies using the USP paddlemethod were carried out in phosphate buffer pH 7.2 at 37 °Cfor both βCD and SBE7βCD complexes of rofecoxib.Solubility enhancement was much greater for the rofecoxib-SBE7βCDcomplex compared to drug-βCD complex. The stability constantobtained for the SBE7βCD inclusion complex of rofecoxib wasthe highest. Finally, dissolution profiles obtained suggest thatSBE7βCD is more effective than β-cyclodextrin inimproving the pharmaceutical properties of rofecoxib.     

Halogen‐Bonded Supramolecular Capsules in the Solid State,in Solution,and in the Gas Phase

Supramolecular capsules were assembled by neutral halogen bonding (XB) and studied in the solid state, in solution, and in the gas phase. The geometry of the highly organized capsules is shown by an X‐ray crystal structure which features the assembly of two XB hemispheres, geometrically rigidified by H‐bonding to eight MeOH molecules and encapsulation of two benzene guests. To enhance capsular association strength, tuning the XB donor is more efficient than tuning the XB acceptor, due to desolvation penalties in protic solvents, as shown for a tetraquinuclidine XB acceptor hemisphere. With a tetra(iodoethynyl) XB donor and a tetralutidine XB acceptor, the association in deuterated benzene/acetone/methanol 70:30:1 at 283 K reaches K _a=(2.11±0.39)×10⁵ m ⁻¹ (ΔG =−6.9±0.1 kcal mol⁻¹). The stability of the XB capsules in the gas phase was confirmed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). A new guest binding site was uncovered within the elongated iodoethynyl capsule.

Solid Phase Extraction of Cesium from Aqueous Solution Using Sol-Gel Encapsulated Cobalt Hexacyanoferrate

The synthesis and evaluation of silica sol-gels doped with cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF) for solid phase extraction of Cs⁺ from aqueous solution is described. The CoHCF is formed by first introducing K₄Fe(CN)₆ (HCF) into the sol-gel and subsequently contacting the porous solid to a solution containing Co²⁺. Generally, sols contain alcohol as a co-solvent, which limits the solubility of HCF. Inclusion of generation-4 polyamidoamine (G4-PAMAM) dendrimer in the sol-gel increases the level of HCF and, in turn, the CoHCF. The uptake capacity of this composite was 0.43±0.01mmolCs⁺g^–1. A second approach to increasing the level of HCF silica is to exclude alcohol from the sol and use ultrasound to obtain a homogeneous suspension; HCF concentrations up to 0.17M in the sol were thereby achieved. After gelation and reaction with Co²⁺, the resulting composite had a capacity of 0.61±0.01mmolCs⁺g^–1. With 0.5mMCs⁺ as the sample, the presence of either 0.5–100mM Na⁺ or 10mMCa²⁺ did not change that value at the 95% confidence level.     

Multiple Multidentate Halogen Bonding in Solution,in the Solid State,and in the (Calculated) Gas Phase

The binding properties of neutral halogen‐bond donors (XB donors) bearing two multidentate Lewis acidic motifs toward halides were investigated. Employing polyfluorinated and polyiodinated terphenyl and quaterphenyl derivatives as anion receptors, we obtained X‐ray crystallographic data of the adducts of three structurally related XB donors with tetraalkylammonium chloride, bromide, and iodide. The stability of these XB complexes in solution was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and the results were compared to X‐ray analyses as well as to calculated binding patterns in the gas phase. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the gas‐phase complexes indicated that the experimentally observed distortion of the XB donors during multiple multidentate binding can be reproduced in 1:1 complexes with halides, whereas adducts with two halides show a symmetric binding pattern in the gas phase that is markedly different from the solid state structures. Overall, this study demonstrates the limitations in the transferability of binding data between solid state, solution, and gas phase in the study of complex multidentate XB donors.

Analytical Electron Microscopy Study of a ZnO-NiO Solid Solution

 Results of an analytical electron microscopy study of a binary ZnO-NiO system are reported and discussed. Emphasis was placed on the determination of Ni concentration (solubility) in the ZnO grains using quantitative TEM-EDXS. The influence on the results of beam diameter, foil thickness and corrections used are described and discussed. During the study small precipitates, presumably NiO, were found in the ZnO grains of the ZnO-NiO samples with different ZnO/NiO ratios. In TEM, the precipitates exhibited image contrast only at certain orientations and were normally invisible during the EDXS analysis. The presence of the precipitates too small to be seen using scanning electron microscopy could explain erroneous results for the Ni concentration in a ZnO solid-solution phase obtained previously using SEM-EDXS. Quantitative EDXS analyses were performed on ZnO grains using different electron beam diameters. In each sample, the spread of the results was correlated to the beam diameter (analysed volume). It was found that when the average number of precipitates was less than one per analysed volume the measured points that included precipitates could easily be identified on the basis of their deviation from the mean value of the Ni content.
