Electron transfer from triplet thymine and thymidine to lipoic acid

Electron transfer from the triplet excited state of thymine or thymidine to the disulphide compound lipoic acid (RSSR) was studied using KrF laser flash photolysis (248 nm, 20 ns). The electron transfer reaction rate constants, measured at 310 nm, were determined to be 1.3×10¹⁰ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ and 6.9×10⁹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ for thymine and thymidine respectively. The transient absorbance at 400 nm in the presence of the quencher is attributed to the anion radical of lipoic acid.     

Photoinduced Electron and H-atom Transfer Reactions of Xanthone by Laser Flash Photolysis

The property of the lowest excited triplet states of xanthone in acetonitrile was investigated using time-resolved laser °ash photolysis at 355 nm. The transient absorption spectra and the quenching rate constants(kq) of the excited xanthone with several amines were determined. Good correlation between lgkq and the driving force of the reactions suggests the electron transfer mechanism, except aniline and 3-nitroaniline (3-NO2-A) which showed energy transfer mechanism. With the appearance of ketyl radical, hydrogen atom transfer also happened between xanthone and dimethyl-p-toluidine, 3,5,N,N-tetramethylaniline, N,N-dimethylaniline, and triethylamine. Therefore, both electron transfer and H-atom transfer occured in these systems. Great discrepancies of kq values were discovered in H-atom abstraction reactions for alcohols and phenols, which can be explained by di?erent abstraction mechanisms. The quenching rate constants between xanthone and alcohols correlate well with the ?-C?H bonding energy of alcohols.     

二氟沙星激发态氧化损伤氨基酸和脱氧鸟苷酸的激光光解研究

The reactions of triplet-state difloxacin (DFX) with various amino acids and deoxyguanylic acid in aqueous media were studied using laser flash photolysis. Tryptophan, tyrosine, cysteine, and 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate (dGMP) were found to completely quench the triplet state of DFX in aqueous solution, the corresponding second-order rate constants being 1.97×10⁸, 1.48×10⁸, 1.72×10⁸, and 6.92×10⁷ dm³·mol^－1·s^－1. The quenching mechanism involves electron transfer to the photoexcited triplet state of DFX from the tryptophan, tyrosine, cysteine, and dGMP moieties, followed by fast protonation of the resulting DFX anion radical.     

光致噻吨酮与胺类、酚类、醇类的电子转移和氢转移反应

利用激光闪光光解方法研究了一系列胺类、酚类、醇类在脱氧乙腈中猝灭噻吨酮(TX)三重态的反应,得到了相应的瞬态吸收光谱和猝灭速率常数(kq).通过对光谱演变特性的分析,推断出三重态噻吨酮与不含有活泼氢的胺发生了电子转移反应,与含有活泼氢的胺发生了电子-质子转移反应.三重态噻吨酮与酚类、醇类反应中观察到噻吨酮加氢自由基的生成,据此推断出三重态噻吨酮与酚类、醇类发生了氢转移反应.胺类的猝灭速率常数随着反应自由能变(ΔG)的增大而减小,说明电子转移影响了噻吨酮三重态的猝灭.酚类的猝灭速率常数先随ΔG增大而减小,后随酚阳离子的酸性增强逐渐增大,可能是猝灭过程中电子转移影响减弱的同时氢转移影响逐渐增强.醇类的猝灭速率常数随着醇的α-C—H键能的增大而减小,说明α-C—H键能是影响噻吨酮三重态猝灭的关键因素.比较以前研究的胺类、酚类、醇类与三重态呫吨酮(XT)、芴酮(FL)反应的结果可知,由于分子结构差异性的影响,相关的猝灭速率常数按照呫吨酮、噻吨酮、芴酮的顺序逐渐减小.

Solvent Effect on the Photoinduced Electron Transfer Reaction Between Thioxanthen-9-one and Diphenylamine

Photoinduced chemical reaction between thioxanthen-9-one (TX) and diphenylamine (DPA) were investigated by the nanosecond laser flash photolysis. With photolysis at 355 nm, the triplet TX (³TX^*) is produced via a Franck-Condon excitation and intersystem crossing. In the transient absorption spectra of the reduction of ³TX^* by DPA in pure and aqueous CH₃CN, four bands are clearly observed and assigned to absorption of ³TX^*, TXH^·, TX^·- and DPA^·+, respectively. With the increase of solvent polarity, the blue-shift was observed for all absorption bands of the intermediates. With the aid of dynamic decay curves, an electron transfer followed by a protonation process is confirmed for the reduction of ³TX^* by DPA. The quenching rate constants of ³TX^* by DPA very slightly decrease from 9.7×10⁹ L/(mol·s) in pure CH₃CN, to 8.7×10⁹ L/(mol·s) in CH₃CN:H₂O (9:1), 8.0×10⁹ L/(mol·s) in CH₃CN:H₂O (4:1) and 7.5×10⁹ L/(mol·s) in CH₃CN:H₂O (1:1). Therefore water plays a minor role in the title reaction, and moreover no obvious medium effect of solvent polarity is observed for the electron transfer between ³TX^* and DPA, indicating that the ³nπ^* and ³ππ^* states of TX have the approximate ability to attract an electron from DPA.

Laser Flash Photolysis on Electron Transfer Reactions between 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone with Adenine and Cytosine

Electron transfer （ET） reactions between 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone （DHAQ） and two DNA bases, adenine （A） and cytosine （C）, have been investigated in CH3CN/H20 solution with nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis. After irradiation at 355 nm, the triplet DHAQ is produced via intersystem crossing and reacts with two nucleobases. ET processes for both reactions have been definitely identified, in which two bases play a significant role of electron donor. Based on the measured decay dynamics of various intermediates and the corresponding quenching rates, an initial ET process followed by a secondary proton-transfer reaction is suggested for both the overall reactions. By plotting the observed quenching rate against the concentration of two DNA bases, the bimolecular quenching rate constants are determined as 9.0-10s L/（mol.s） for the 3DHAQ＊＋C reaction and 3.3x10^8 L/（mol.s） for the 3DHAQ＊＋A reaction, respectively.     

Photophysical properties of gatifloxacin in aqueous solution by laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis

GFX in water, at pH 7.0, shows intense absorption bands with peaks at 284 and 333 nm, (ε=24,670 and 12,670 M⁻¹ cm⁻¹). Both the absorption and emission properties of GFX were pH-dependent; the pK_a values for the protonation equilibria of the ground state (5.7 and 8.9) and excited singlet state (3.6 and 7.5) of GFX were determined spectroscopically. GFX fluoresces weakly, with a maximum quantum yield for fluorescence emission (0.06) at pH 4.7. A series of experiments were performed to characterize the transient species of GFX in aqueous solution using laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis. GFX undergoes monophotonic photoionization with a quantum yield of 0.16 on a 355 nm laser excitation. This process leads to the formation of a long-lived cation radical with a maximum absorption at 380 nm. Triplet-triplet absorption had maximum absorption at 510 nm. The reaction of GFX with one-electron oxidant N₃• was investigated and the bimolecular rate constant was determined to be 3.1×10⁹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹.

Electron Transfer Reaction Between Desoxyadenosine and Triplet 2-Methyl-l, 4-naphthaquinone： A Laser Photolysis Study

Introduction Electron transfer oxidation of DNA by triplet artificial photonuclease reveals a bright prospect of its application in biology and medicine. Both molecular orbital calculation and laser experiments have indicated that the homo guanine sequence should be the final localization site of photoexcited hole via long range migration within DNA. However, the direct observation of the produced ion pairs of biomolecules especially the stabilized radical cation DNA or its components is hampered by the overwhelming transient absorption of protonated radical anion of photosensitizers, such as 2-methyl-1,4-naphthaguinonel （MQ）.

Concerted Determination of the Hydrogen Atom and Electron Transfer Capacity of Lipid Soluble Reducing Agents

This paper describes a method based on square wave voltammetry to evaluate either the electron transfer or the hydrogen atom transfer of lipid soluble antioxidants such as dl ‐mix‐tocopherol, BHT, ethoxyquin and retynil acetate. The electron transfer (ET) capacity was evaluated by the peak current, peak potential and the area under the anodic wave, whereas the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) capacity by the kinetic rate of the reaction between antioxidants and 2,2‐Azobis(2‐methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH). The results indicate that ethoxyquin and tocopherol have the highest ET and HAT capacity. However, HAT capacity of tocopherol, BHT and retinyl acetate depend on the concentration. The approach has the advantage to assess HAT and ET capacity of lipid soluble antioxidant in a single concerted protocol.     

Intermolecular vs. intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer from nucleotides in DNA to acridinium ion derivatives in relation with DNA cleavage

Photoirradiation of various 10-methylacridinium ions (AcrR⁺, R = H, ⁱPr, and Ph) intercalated in DNA results in ultrafast intramolecular electron transfer, followed by rapid back electron transfer between AcrR⁺ and nucleotides in DNA. The electron-transfer dynamics in DNA were monitored by femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. Both acridinyl radical and nucleotide radical cations, formed in the photoinduced electron transfer in DNA, were successfully detected in an aqueous solution. These transient absorption spectra were assigned by the comparison with those of DNA nucleotide radical cations, which were obtained by the intermolecular electron-transfer oxidation of nucleotides with the electron-transfer state of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr–Mes⁺) produced upon photoexcitation of Acr⁺–Mes. Photoinduced cleavage of DNA with various acridinium ions (AcrR⁺, R = H, ⁱPr, Ph, and Mes) has also been examined by agarose gel electrophoresis, which indicates that the rapid intramolecular back electron transfer between acridinyl radical and nucleotide radical cation in DNA suppresses the DNA cleavage as compared with the intermolecular electron-transfer oxidation of nucleotides with Acr–Mes⁺.

pH Dependence of Photochemical Kinetics of Thioxanthen-9-one from Nanosecond Time-Resolved Laser Flash Photolysis

pH dependent fluorescence emission of a thioxanthone-based probe has been reported recently. The potential determinant factors of pH dependence may provide important clues to design novel thioxanthone-based probes in the future. pH dependence of photochemical kinetics of thioxanthone itself was investigated in this work using nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis. The nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectra and kinetics of TX in aqueous acetonitrile were recorded, as well as for a model reaction system including TX with diphenylamine (DPA) as a co-initiator. Besides the well-known absorption peak of \begin{document}$ ^3 $\end{document}TX\begin{document}$ ^* $\end{document}, other peaks at 417, 518, 673 and 780 nm, have been reliably attributed to major intermediates in the overall reaction between TX and DPA with photolysis, which has been confirmed to occur along a multistep process. In the strong acidic solution (pH\begin{document}$ \approx $\end{document}3.0), TX and protonated TX ions (TXH\begin{document}$ ^+ $\end{document}) coexist due to protonated equilibrium. Consequently, high proton concentration promotes the predominant decay pathway after photolysis from electron transfer to proton affinity. Subsequently, the different primary products, \begin{document}$ ^3 $\end{document}TXH\begin{document}$ ^{+*} $\end{document} or TX\begin{document}$ ^{\bullet-} $\end{document}, proceed different secondary reaction channels. In addition, within the wide pH range from weak acid (pH = 5.0) to alkaline solution (pH = 13.0), the overall reaction mechanism and rates do not show visible changes.     

Photochemical reactions of electron-deficient olefins with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine via photoinduced electron-transfer

Photoinduced electron transfer reactions of several electron-deficient olefins with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in acetonitrile solution have been studied by using laser flash photolysis technique and steady-state fluorescence quenching method. Laser pulse excitation of TMB yields ³TMB* after rapid intersystem crossing from ¹TMB*. The triplet which located at 480 nm is found to undergo fast quenching with the electron acceptors fumaronitrile (FN), dimethyl fumarate (DMF), diethyl fumarate (DEF), cinnamonitrile (CN), -acetoxyacrylonitrile (AAN), crotononitrile (CrN) and 3-methoxyacrylonitrile (MAN). Substituents binding to olefin molecule own different electron-donating/withdrawing powers, which determine the electron-deficient property (π-cloud density) of olefin molecule as well as control the electron transfer rate constant directly. The detection of ion radical intermediates in the photolysis reactions confirms the proposed electron transfer mechanism, as expected from thermodynamics. The quenching rate constants of triplet TMB by these olefins have been determined at 510 nm to avoid the disturbance of formed TMB cation radical around 475 nm. All the values approach or reach to the diffusion-controlled limit. In addition, fluorescence quenching rate constants have been also obtained by calculating with Stern–Volmer equation. A correlation between experimental electron transfer rate constants and free energy changes has been explained by Marcus theory of adiabatic outer-sphere electron transfer. Disharmonic k_q values for CN and CrN in endergonic region may be the disturbance of exciplexs formation.     

Electron Transfer and Charge Transfer: Twin Themes in Unifying the Mechanisms of Organic and Organometallic Reactions

The broad varieties of organic and organometallic reactions merge into a common unifying mechanism by considering all nucleophiles and electrophiles as electron donors (D) and electron acceptors (A), respectively. Comparison of outer-sphere and inner-sphere electron transfers with the aid of Marcus theory provides the thermochemical basis for the generalized free energy relationship for electron transfer (FERET) in Equation (37) and its corollaries in Equations (43) and (44) that have wide predictive applicability to electrophilic aromatic substitutions, olefin additions, organometallic cleavages, etc. The FERET is based on the conversion of the weak nucleophile–electrophile interactions extant in the ubiquitous electron donor—acceptor (EDA) precursor complex [D, A] to the radical ion pair [D^⊕, A^?], for which the free energy change can be evaluated from the charge-transfer absorption spectra according to Mulliken theory. FERET analysis thus indicates that the charge-transfer ion pairs [D^⊕, A^?] are energetically equivalent to the transition states for nucleophile/electrophile transformations. The behavior of such ion pairs can be directly observed immediately following the irradiation of the charge-transfer bands of various EDA complexes with a 25-ps laser pulse. Such studies confirm the radical ion pair [Arene^⊕, NO₂] as a viable intermediate in electrophilic aromatic nitration, as presented in the electron-transfer mechanism between arenes and the nitryl cation (NO) electrophile.
