Molecular recognition studies on supramolecular systems (XXIV)——Conformations and complexation abilities of chemically modified cyclodextrins in aqueous solution

Circular dichroism spectral and fluorescence decay methods have been employed to determine the conformations of mono[6-(p-tolylseleno)-6-deoxy]-p-CD(1), mono(6-anilino-6-deoxy) β -CD (2) and mono[6-(L-tryptophan)-6-deoxy]-β-CD (3) in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2, 0.1 mol dm-3) at 298.15 K. The results indicate that compounds 2 and 3 formed self-inclusion complexes in aqueous buffer solution, while the substituent of compound 1 was not included into cyclodextrin cavity at all. Furthermore, the complex stability constant (logKs) and Gibbs free energy change (-ΔG° ) of these three cylcodextrin derivatives with several cycloalkanols have been determined by circular dichroism spectral titration in phosphate buffer solution at 298.15 K. It is found that the location of the substituent affects the stability of host-guest complex in aqueous solution.

Study on the inclusion behavior and solid inclusion complex of 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone with cyclodextrins

The inclusion behaviors of three native or modified CDs including p-CD,2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD(2-Hp-β-CD) and 2,6-dimethyl-β-CD(Me-β-CD) toward 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone(AMBI) were comparatively investigated by NMR and fluorescence titration in combination with IR spectra,X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microphotographs.The experimental results jointly demonstrated that the phenyl ring of AMBI entered into the cavity of the CDs and located close to the narrow rims accompanied by the formation of the 1:1 inclusion complex with large stability constant in aqueous solution.The introduction of the hydroxypropyl unit to the host improved the solubility,ultimately effecting an obvious promoting in the fluorescence intensity and the stability constant

Synthesis and characterization of organotitanium substituted heteropolytungstosilicates and their biological activity

Tris-, di-(organotitanium) substituted tungstosilicates α、β-[(CpTi)3(SiW9O37)]7- and γ-[(Cp-Ti)2(SiW10O38)]6- were prepared by the reaction of Cp2TiCl2 (Cp = η5-C5H5) with α、β-SiW9O349- (noted α、β-SiW9), γ-SiWO368- (noted γ-SiW10) . The products were characterized by means of elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 183W NMR and polarography. 183W NMR spectra of the complexes support the stoichiometry of the new heteropolyanions and the probable retention of the A-XWg or γ-SiW10 units. And the organotitanium substituted compounds showed promising in vitro antitumor activity in two of human tumor cell lines.     

POLYKETONE FROM CO AND STYRENE: A USEFUL COPOLYMER CATALYZED BY A HIGHLY ACTIVE AND STABLE PALLADIUM CATALYST WITH 5-NITRO-1,10-PHENANTHROLINE LIGAND

A novel coordinated complex [(5-nitrophen)Pd(CF3CO2)2] (5-nitrophen = 5-nitro-l,10-phenanthroline) was first synthesized. By using XPS, IR, and 1H-NMR, its coordination unit was studied in comparison with those of complexes [(N- N)Pd(CH3CO2)2] and [(N - N)Pd(CF3CO2)2]. The H2,9 proton signals of 1H-NMR spectra of the complexes are excellent probes to monitor the evolution of the environment of the palladium atom. The state of anionic coordination was confirmed by the presence of IR absorption peaks of COO in complexes ([(N N)Pd(CH3CO2)2] and [(NN)Pd(CF3CO2)2]). Bonding energies of N1s and Pd3d5 obtained from XPS data testified to the strength of the N-Pd coordinating bond. The conclusion can be drawn by analyzing these data from IR, XPS and 1H-NMR that it is the unsymmetrical substitution of the 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) that makes the [(5-nitrophen)Pd(CF3CO2)2] more active.Experimental results showed that [(5-nitrophen)Pd(CF3CO2)2] exhibits much higher activity than [(bipy)Pd(CF3CO2)2] (1, l‘-bipyridine = bipy) and [(phen)Pd(CF3CO2)2] under the same conditions.     

Synthesis of two mono-deoxy β-cyclodextrin derivatives as useful tools for confirming DIBAL-H promoted bis-de-O-methylation mechanism

Diisobutylaluminium hydride(DIBAL-H) promotes secondary rim regioselective bis-de-O-methylation of permethylatedβ-cyclodextrin (β-CD) to give diol 2.To gain an insight into the mechanism of this remarkable regioselective behavior,two corresponding permethylatedβ-CDs with an alcohol function at either 2- or 3-position were synthesized in our previous study.As a step further to this work,the two compounds were subjected to deoxygenation reaction with tributyltin hydride in the present of 2,2’- azobisisobutyronitrile affording the corresponding 2- and 3-deoxy permethylatedβ-CD derivatives(19 and 16).The structures of these two compounds were characterized by ID and 2D NMR and HRMS.Compounds 16 and 19 were unable to react with DIBALH which suggests that O-2~A and O-3~B are necessary for DIBAL-H promoted bis-de-O-methylation reaction of permethylatedβ-CD.     

Rare-earth metal amido complexes supported by bridged bis(β-diketiminato) ligand as efficient catalysts for hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes and ketones

A series of rare-earth metal amides supported by a cyclohexyl-linked bis(β-diketiminato) ligand were synthesized,and their catalytic activities for hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes and ketones were developed.Reaction of [(Me3Si)2N]3 RE(Cl)Li(THF)3 with the cyclohexyl-linked bis(-diketimine) H2L(1)(L=Cy[NC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]2,Cy = cyclohexyl,Ar=2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) gave the rare-earth metal amides LREN(SiMe3)2(RE = Nd(2),Sm(3),Dy(4),Er(5),Y(6)).All complexes were fully characterized by elemental,spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray analyses.Investigation of the catalytic properties of the complexes reveals that these complexes exhibited a high catalytic activity towards the hydrophosphonylation of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of a very low loading of rare-earth metal amides(0.1-1 mol%) at room temperature in a short time.

There are some distortions from octahedron in configuration of the [(μs-S)Cu6]6 core with three weak Cu-Cu bonds.     

Comparative Study on the Inclusion Interaction between meso-Tetrakis（4-N-ethylpyridiniurmyl） porphyrin and β-Cyclodextrin Derivatives

The interaction of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and the modified cyclodextrins, hydroxy propyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) and synthesized meso-tetrakis(4-N-ethylpyridiniurmyl)porphyrin (TEPyP) in aqueous solution has been studied by spectroscopic methods systematically. A significant change in fluorescence and absorption properties has been observed in the presence of β-CD, HP-β-CD and SBE-β-CD. The stoichiometry and formation constants have been determined by the steady-state fluorescence technique. The results showed that the β-CD derivatives were prior to the native β-CD and the hydrogen bonding and static electric forces played important roles in the formation of the inclusion complexes. The conformation was further confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
