Studies on Polymeric Chelates

Chelates of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Fe(III), Zn(II), and dioxouranium(VI) have been prepared from p-hydroxybenzoic acid (P)-urea (U)-formaldehyde (F) copolymer (PUF). The metal-ligand ratios in the chelates were established by eiemental analysis. The probable structures were elucidated on the basis of reflectance and IR spectra in conjunction with magnetic moments. These indicated a distorted octahedral structure for all the chelates except for dioxouranium(VI) chelate. Thermogravimetric analysis has been carried out to ascertain the relative thermal stability of ligand and chelates.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Lanthanon Chelates of Thiohydroxamic Acids: Studies on Lanthanon Chelates of N-Thioacetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine

Abstract

New chelates of lanthanon with N-thioacetyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine have been prepared. The available data and physical properties of the chelates indicate the attachment of each rare earth ion to three molecules of ligand and four molecules of water. This is supported by elemental analysis and UV and IR absorption spectra.     

Thermal Studies on Some Ionic Chelates of Hafnium(IV)

Ionic chelate complexes of kojic acid(I) and hafnium(IV) of the type [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂HfL]⁺[MCl₃]^– (II)[HL=kojic acid; M=Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Cu(II)] have been synthesised and characterised by spectral studies (IR, UV, ¹H NMR and ¹³CNMR). Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analytical (DTA) studies have been carried out for these complexes and from the TG curves, the order and apparent activation energy for the thermal decomposition reactions have been elucidated. The various thermal studies have been correlated with some structural aspects of the complexes concerned. From DTA curves, the heat of reaction has been calculated. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Conformational Studies of Oligosaccharides

The conformation of a molecule strongly affects its function, as demonstrated for peptides and nucleic acids. This correlation is much less established for carbohydrates, the most abundant organic materials in nature. Recent advances in synthetic and analytical techniques have enabled the study of carbohydrates at the molecular level. Recurrent structural features were identified as responsible for particular biological activities or material properties. In this Minireview, recent achievements in the structural characterization of carbohydrates, enabled by systematic studies of chemically defined oligosaccharides, are discussed. These findings can guide the development of more potent glycomimetics. Synthetic carbohydrate materials by design can be envisioned.

Spectrophotometric Studies on Imidazole Adducts of Cupper(II) Beta-Diketone Chelates

Spectrophotometric studies in the visible region have been made on chloroform solutions of CuL; [L: anions of hexafluoroacetylacetone (HFA), thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA), trifluoroacetylacetone (TFA) and acetylacetone (AA)J with imidazole. The acidity of CuL₂ increases in the order: Cu(TFA)₂ < Cu(TTA)₂<Cu(HFA)₂. Isolation of the adducts and the nature of the spectra is strong evidence for the formation of both 1:1 and 1:2 adducts in the chloroform solution. For Cu(AA)₂-Im, neither such a spectral evidence was observed, nor the 1:1 adduct was isolated. By successive addition of imidazole, the displacement reaction takes place, and finally Cu(Im)₄ is formed.     

Kinetic Studies on Forming Iso-nuclear β-type Chelates of Rare Earths with p-Sulphoaminobromophosphonazo

Some 2,7-bis(arylazo) derivatives of chromotropic acid can form chelates with rare earth ions in the 700-800 nm region, especially they can form iso-nuclear ?-type chelates which have higher molar absorbtivities and have been used for the determination of trace amounts of light lanthanides in the presence of heavy lanthanides1,2. Some papers3,4 have reported the kinetic behavior of forming homo-nuclear ?-type chelates. However, the information about forming iso-nuclear ?-type chelates is still…     

Conformational Studies on Potential β-Turn-Forming Model Peptides

The conformational behavior of POE-bound model peptides Boc-(L -Ala)₂-X-Y-(L -Ala)₂-NHPOE (X – Y = L -Pro-Gly ( I ), Gly-L -Ile ( II ); NHPOE = aminopoly(oxyethylene)) as well as of the repetitive hexapeptide of elastin, Boc-L -Val-L -Ala-L -Pro-Gly-L -Val-Gly-A-NHPOE-M ( III ) (A = photosensitive 3-nitro-4-(bromomethyl)benzoyl group; NHPOE-M = aminopoly(oxyethylane) monomethyl ether) has been studied by means of ¹H-NMR and CD spectroscopy. Compounds I and III form a β-turn with Pro and Gly in positions i + 1 and i + 2, respectively, while an aggregated state for II , has been identified. The results are in good agreement with published prediction codes giving experimental evidence for the dominance of short-range interactions to establish secondary structure in solution.

Conformational Studies of a Six-Membered Phostone

Abstract

Although 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinanes generally assume chair conformations,¹ there are examples in which the ring adopts the boat or twist-boat form.¹ Recent studies on the synthesis, stereochemistry, and reactivity of 2-alkoxy-2-oxo-1,2-oxaphosphorinanes (phostones) have revealed both cis and trans isomers of 3-(diphenylhydroxymethyl)-2-ethoxy-2-oxo-1,2-axaphosphorinane² to assume a chair conformation in the solid state. In the present work, the conformational properties of cis and trans-3-methoxycarbonyl-2-methoxy-2-oxo-1,2-oxaphosphorinanes were investigated by X-ray analysis, variable temperature ³¹P, ¹H and ¹H{³¹P} NMR spectroscopy, molecular mechanics, and semiempirical calculations. The X-ray crystal structure of the trans isomer revealed a chair dormation with equatorial phosphoryl and carbomethoxy groups. No changes were observed in the ³¹P NMR spectra of either isomer in the temperature range of 183–333 K. A complete set of vicinal J_HH coupling constants was extracted from the ¹H{³¹P} spectra of each isomer taken at five temperatures over the range of 213–293 K and refined by simulation of the spectra. The best-fit analysis of this data using a generalized Karplus equation³ revealed that the conformation of the trans isomer in solution was close to that found in the solid state. This conformation corresponded to the global energy minimum calculated by both molecular mechanics and PM3 semiempirical method. A substantial contribution from an inverted chair conformation of the cis isomer had to be assumed to achieve a reasonable fit of the coupling constants calculated from the generalized Karplus equation.     

Quantitative Conformational Studies on Poly(vinyl Chloride)

Although curve fitting provides a method for obtaining intensity data for the individual components of overlapping band systems, the number of configurational and conformational bands in the C-Cl stretching region of the vibrational spectrum of poly(vinyl chloride) is such that many parameters have to be optimized. It is therefore desirable to impose constraints in the calculations, and prior knowledge of the number of component bands would be valuable. The potential of derivative spectroscopy for obtaining this information has been examined. It is shown that the superior resolution of second and fourth derivative spectra is partially offset by their inferior signal-to-noise ratio, a discriminatory effect against broader bands, and interference by subsidiary derivative peaks. The method has been used to examine the CH₂ deformation and C-Cl stretching modes of three PVC samples of different tacticity. With the former the overlapping system proves to be more complex than hitherto realized; hence, tacticity determinations based on the intensity ratio of two peaks only at 1428 and 1434 cm^?1 must be suspect. With the C-Cl stretching bands second derivatives are more useful than fourth derivatives, and the number and positions of the located bands are in broad agreement with the results from curve fitting, so providing confirmatory evidence for the correctness of the latter.     

Conformational Studies on Polytripeptides as a Model of Collagen

To study the role of glycine residues in stabilizing the collagen triple helix, the glycine residues in the polytripeptide (Pro-Ala-Gly)_n were partially replaced by alanine. The proline content was kept constant. The stability of the helical conformation of these polypeptides was studied by IR- and X-ray measurements in the solid state and by ORD, CD and viscometry in solution. The renaturation was followed as a function of time. All the polytripeptides studied, with the exception of (-Pro-Ala-Ala-)_n attained the polyproline II conformation. However the stability decreased with increasing alanine content. Obviously the molecules of (-Pro-Ala-Gly-) are highly associated by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and one may therefore suppose that a triple-stranded helix aggregation occurs. The results of the refolding process show that the stability of the helices seems to also affect the refolding rate in terms of the optical rotation, Two transitions appeared: the first one is responsible for a rapid reversible change in conformation and the second one for a further slow and irreversible change in the hydrodynamic shape. The latter seems to be due to the partial helical nature, leading to higher chain mobility.

Synthesis and Studies of Oligomeric Ultraviolet Absorbers and Their Polymeric Metal Chelates

Oligomeric ultraviolet absorbers have been prepared by condensing a mixture of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone with formaldehyde in the presence of a concentrated solution of HCl or NaOH. The oligomers were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and TGA study. Their [Mbar]_n was determined by nonaqueous conductometric titration and by VPO. Polymeric metal chelates of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) with the oligomer were prepared and characterized.     

Mechanistic Studies on Rhodium(III) Chelates Aquation of Cis-Dinitrobisbiguaniderhodium(III) Nitrate

Aquation of cis-dinitrobisbiguaniderhodium (III) nitrate was investigated conductometrically. Rates of the release of first and the second nitro groups were derived by a graphical method. For both the steps of aquation, the presence of electron accepting ‘nitro’ group, favours ‘bond formation’ by the incoming ligand in the transition stage and it occurs before the ‘bond rupture’ is complete. The loss of the second ‘nitro’ group most probably takes place along with a hydrogen ion from the ‘aquo’ ligand introduced in the first step of aquation with the resultant formation of the hydroxoaquobisbiguanide complex. Activation parameters were evaluated and are as follows: ΔH? are 18±1.2 and 18.6±1.1 k cals mole^?1 and ΔS? are ?15±2.7 and ?19±2.3 e. u. respectively for the first and the second steps of aquation.     

Protein Conformational Studies for Macromolecularly Imprinted Polymers

CD is used to clearly show the negative impact of common ligands on the overall conformation of BSA, a typical protein template in macromolecularly imprinted polymers. This change occurs at concentrations far lower than those generally used in the literature. These findings are important as they offer insight into a potential fundamental reason for the lack of success in protein imprinting to date despite significant interest from the scientific community.
