Studies on the non-covalent complexes between oleanolic acid and cyclodextrins using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Non-covalent inclusion complexes formed between an anti-inflammatory drug, oleanolic acid (OA), and alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins (CDs) were investigated by means of solubility studies and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)). The order of calculated association constants (K(1 : 1)) of complexes between OA and different CDs in solution is in good agreement with the order of their relative peak intensities and the relative CID energies of the complexes under the same ESI-MS(n) conditions. These results indicate a direct correlation between the behaviors of solution- and gas-phase complexes. ESI-MS can thus be used to evaluate solution-phase non-covalent complexes successfully. The experimental results show that the most stable 1 : 1 inclusion complexes between three CDs and OA can be formed, but 2 : 1 CD-OA complexes can be formed with beta- and gamma-CDs. Multi-component complexes of alpha-CD-OA-beta-CD (1 : 1 : 1), alpha-CD-OA-gamma-CD (1 : 1 : 1) and beta-CD-OA-gamma-CD (1 : 1 : 1) were found in equimolar CD mixtures with excess OA. The formation of 2 : 1 and multi-component 1 : 1 : 1 non-covalent CD-OA complexes indicates that beta- and gamma-CD are able to form sandwich-type inclusion non-covalent complexes with OA. The above results can be partly supported by the relative sizes of OA and CD cavities by molecular modeling calculations. All the complexes allow the detection of gaseous deprotonated CD-OA complexes in the negative ion mode at high abundances. The relative stabilities of the CDs-OA inclusion complexes in the gas phase can be evaluated from the relative CID energies in the ion trap (alpha-CD-OA < beta-CD-OA < gamma-CD-OA) in the negative ion mode.     

Complexes of the Lighter Lanthanoid Nitrates with 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 ethers: Synthesis and characterization

Complexes of lanthanoid trinitrates Ln(NO₃)₃ with 15-crown-5 ether 1 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) and with 18-crown-6 ether 2 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) having a 1:1 stoichiometry as well as 4:3 complexes with 2 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) have been synthesized and characterized. All the isolated complexes are solvent free. At 170–220° the 1:1 complexes of 2 are quantitatively transformed into 4:3 complexes. X-Ray powder diagrams of the neodymium complexes with 2 indicate that both the 1:1 and 4:3 complexes are genuine compounds. All the 1:1 complexes show a characteristic IR. absorption band at 875–880 cm^?1 absent from both the spectra of the free ligands and of the 4:3 complexes. The spectroscopic properties (IR. and electronic spectra, fluorescence lifetimes) of the complexes and the low magnetic moments of the Ln(III) ions in the complexes with Ln = Ce-Eu are indicative of a strong interaction between the lanthanoid ions and the crown ethers 1 and 2 .     

Constantes de formation des complexes de stoechiometrie 1:1 et 1:2 ainsi que des complexes mixtes formes entre le plutonium(III) et divers acides amino-polyacetiques

Determination of the formation constants of 1:1, 1:2 and mixed complexes between plutonium(III) and various aminopolyacetic acids The complexation of plutonium(III) with various aminopolyacetic acids is investigated by potentiometric titration at 25°C and at a constant ionic strength of 1 (KC1). The formation constants of the 1:1 complexes are reported for NTA, HEDTA, EDTA, DCTA and DTPA. The formation constants of the 1:2 complexes with NTA, HEDTA and EDTA as well as those of the mixed complexes formed between Pu(HEDTA) or Pu(EDTA) and NTA, IMDA or glycine are also reported. Several pK values of the 1:1, 1:2 and mixed complexes have been determined. These results are discussed within the framework of those obtained previously with the lanthanides.     

Spectroscopic Study of the Complexation of DDQ with 1,10-Diaza-18-crown-6 in Chloroform Solution

The formation of charge transfer complexes with 1:1 and 2:1 stoichiometries (acceptor-to-donor) between DDQ and 1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 in chloroform solution was investigated spectrophotometrically. The stepwise formation constants of the resulting complexes were evaluated from the non-linear least-squaresfitting of the absorbance-mole ratio data. The enthalpies and entropiesof the complexation reactions were determined from the temperature dependence of the stepwise formation constants. The resulting 1:1 and 2:1 complexes were isolated in crystalline form and characterized. The results are consistent with the ionic structure of the resulting charge transfer complexes.     

The reactions of diphenylcarbazide and diphenylcarbazone with cations : Part III. Nature and properties of the mercury complexes

The reactions of diphenylcarbazone or diphenylcarbazide with mercury(I) or mercury(II) are studied by qualitative analysis, extraction and Job's method. Only carbazone complexes are formed. Mercury(I) and (II) both form two complexes, a 1:1 and a 1:2 complex (cation : carbazone). The complexes formed are colloids in aqueous alcoholic solutions. Decomposition of these complexes, to form diphenylcarbodiazone, is accelerated by ultraviolet and visible light.     

Infrared spectra of the (H2O)n-SO2 complexes in argon matrices

The infrared spectra of the (H(2)O)n-SO(2) complexes trapped in argon matrices have been investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition to the 1:1 and 2:1 complexes, the first spectroscopic evidence for the 3:1 complex has been obtained from the spectra of the SO stretching and the OH stretching modes. The observed frequency shifts in the bonded OH stretching region indicate that the hydrogen bonds of the 2:1 and 3:1 complexes are strengthened compared to that of the 1:1 complex, which suggests the cyclic structure of the complexes.     

Hydrogen bonding in the hydroxysulfinyl radical‐formic acid‐water system: A theoretical study

Quantum chemical methods have been employed to evaluate the possible configurations of the 1:1 and 1:2 HOSO‐formic acid complexes and 1:1:1 HOSO‐formic acid‐water complexes. The first type of complex involves two H bonds, while the other two types comprise three H bonds in a ring. The complexes are relatively stable, with CBS‐QB3 computed binding energies of 14.3 kcal mol^?1, 23.4 kcal mol^?1, and 21.1 kcal mol^?1 for the lowest‐energy structures of the 1:1, 1:2, and 1:1:1 complexes, respectively. Complex formations induce a large spectral red‐shift and an enhancement of the IR intensity for the H‐bonded OH stretching modes relative to those in the parent monomers. TDDFT calculations of the low‐lying electronic excited states demonstrate that the complexes are photochemically quite stable in the troposphere. Small spectral shifts in comparison to the free HOSO radical suggest that the radical and the complexes would not be easily distinguishable using standard UV/vis absorption spectroscopy. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Interaction of dipropyltin(IV) with amino acids,peptides, dicarboxylic acids and DNA constituents

Interaction of dipropyltin(IV) with selected amino acids, peptides, dicarboxylic acids or DNA constituents was investigated using potentiometric techniques. Amino acids form 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes and, in some cases, protonated complexes. The amino acid is bound to dipropyltin(IV) by the amino and carboxylate groups. Serine is complexed to dipropyltin(IV) with ionization of the alcoholic group. A relationship exists between the acid dissociation constant of the amino acids and the formation constants of the corresponding complexes. Dicarboxylic acids form both 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes. Diacids forming five- and six-membered chelate rings are the most stable. Peptides form complexes with stoichiometric coefficients 111(MLH), 110(ML) and 11-1(MLH_?1)(tin: peptide: H⁺). The mode of coordination is discussed based on existing data and previous investigations. DNA constituents inosine, adenosine, uracil, uridine, and thymine form 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes and the binding sites are assigned. Inosine 5′-monophosphate, guanosine 5′-monophosphate, adenosine 5′-monophosphate and adenine form protonated species in addition to 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes. The protonation sites and tin-binding sites were elucidated. Cytosine and cytidine do not form complexes with dipropyltin(IV) due to low basicity of the donor sites. The stepwise formation constants of the complexes formed in solution were calculated using the non-linear least-square program MINIQUAD-75. The concentration distribution of the various complex species was evaluated as a function of pH.     

Infrared spectra of the water-nitrogen complexes (H2O)2-(N2)n(n = 1-4) in argon matrices

The infrared spectra of the water-nitrogen complexes trapped in argon matrices have been studied with Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The absorption lines of the H20-N2 1:1, 1:2, 1:n, and 2:1 complexes have been confirmed on the basis of the concentration effects. In addition, we have observed a few lines and propose the assignments for the 2:2, 2:3, and 2:4 complexes in the nu1 symmetric stretching and nu2 bending regions of the proton-acceptor molecule, and in the bonded OH stretching region of the proton-donor molecule. The redshifts in the bonded OH stretching mode and blueshifts in the OH bending mode suggest that the hydrogen bonds in the (H2O)2-(N2)n complexes with n = 1-4 are strengthened by the cooperative effects compared to the pure H2O dimer. Two absorption bands due to the 3:n complexes are also observed near the bonded OH stretching region of the H2O trimer.     

Complexation studies of Cm(III), Am(III), and Eu(III) with linear and cyclic carboxylates and polyaminocarboxylates

Solvent extraction and potentiometric titration methods have been used to measure the stability constants of Cm(III), Am(III), and Eu(III) with both linear and cyclic carboxylates and polyaminocarboxylates in an ionic strength of 0.1?mol?L^?1 (NaClO₄). Luminescence lifetime measurements of Cm(III) and Eu(III) were used to study the change in hydration upon complexation over a range of concentrations and pH values. Aromatic carboxylates, phthalate (1,2 benzene dicarboxylates, PHA), trimesate (1,3,5 benzene tricarboxylates, TSA), pyromellitate (1,2,4,5 tetracarboxylates, PMA), hemimellitate (1,2,3 benzene tricarboxylates, HMA), and trimellitate (1,2,4 benzene tricarboxylates, TMA) form only 1?:?1 complexes, while both 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes were observed with PHA. Their complexation strength follows the order: PHA～TSA>TMA>PMA>HMA. Carboxylate ligands with adjacent carboxylate groups are bidentate and replace two water molecules upon complexation, while TSA displaces 1.5 water molecules of hydration upon complexation. Only 1?:?1 complexes were observed with the macrocyclic dicarboxylates 1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trioxacyclopentadecane-N,N′-diacetate (K21DA) and 1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane-N,N′-diacetate (K22DA); both 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes were observed with methyleneiminodiacetate (MIDA), hydroxyethyleneiminodiacetate (HIDA), benzene-1,2-bis oxyacetate (BDODA), and ethylenediaminediacetate (EDDA), while three complexes (1?:?1, 1?:?2, and 1?:?3) were observed with pyridine 2,6 dicarboxylates (DPA) and chelidamate (CA). The complexes of M-MIDA are tridentate, while that of M-HIDA is tetradentate in both 1?:?1 and 1?:?2 complexes. The M-BDODA and M-EDDA complexes are tetradentate in the 1?:?1 and bidentate in the 1?:?2 complexes. The complexes of M-K22DA are octadentate with one water molecule of hydration, while that of K21DA is heptadentate with two water molecules of hydration. Simple polyaminocarboxylate 1,2 diaminopropanetetraacetate (PDTA) and ethylenediamine N,N′-diacetic-N,N′-dipropionate (ENDADP) like ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) form only 1?:?1 complexes and their complexes are hexadentate. Polyaminocarboxylates with additional functional groups in the ligand backbone, e.g., ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo) tetraacetate (EGTA), and 1,6 diaminohexanetetraacetate (HDTA) or with additional number of groups in the carboxylate arms diethylenetriamine pentaacetato-monoamide (DTPA-MA), diethylenetriamine pentaacetato-bis-methoxyethylamide (DTPA-BMEA), and diethylenetriamine pentaacetato-bis glucosaamide (DTPA-BGAM) are octadentate with one water molecule of hydration, except N-methyl MS-325 which is heptadentate with two water molecules of hydration and HDTA which is probably dimeric with three water molecules of hydration. Macrocyclic tetraaminocarboxylate, 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetate (DOTA) forms only 1?:?1 complex which is octadentate with one water molecule of hydration. The functionalization of these carboxylates and polycarboxylates affect the complexation ability toward metal cations. The results, in conjunction with previous results on the Eu(III) complexes, provide insight into the relation between ligand steric requirement and the hydration state of the Cm(III) and Eu(III) complexes in solution. The data are discussed in terms of ionic radii of the metal cations, cavity size, basicity, and ligand steric effects upon complexation.     

Interactions of nucleobases with alkali earth metal cations--electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study

Interactions of nucleobases with alkali earth metal cations have been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Nucleobases containing at least one oxygen atom form stable complexes with alkali earth metal cations. This phenomenon can be explained on the grounds of the well known theory of hard and soft acids and bases. Uracil and thymine make complexes only when in their deprotonoted forms. The cations of great radii (Sr(2+), Ba(2+)) are more prone to form complexes of stoichiometry 1:1 with uracil and thymine than the cations of small radii (Mg(2+), Ca(2+)). On the other hand, Mg(2+) forms complexes of stoichiometry 2:1 and 3:2 with uracil and thymine. Gas-phase stabilities of the 1:1 complexes are higher for the cations of small radii, in contrast to the solution stabilities. For cytosine and 9- methylhypoxantine the 1:1 complexes of their deprotonated forms are observed at higher cone voltage as a result of HCl molecule loss from the complexes containing the counter ion (Cl(-)). In solution, more stable complexes are formed with metal cations of low radii. Gas-phase stability of the complexes formed by deprotonated 9- methyl-hypoxantine increases with increasing metal cation radius.     

Sodium: Dibenzo-30-crown-10 aggregates in solution: Na-23 NMR study

(n + 1):n sodium:dibenzo-30-crown-10 complexes are formed in nitromethane solutions. A model based on the coexistence in solution of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:2 complexes can account for the observed Na-23 chemical shifts, transverse and longitudinal relaxation rates. Logarithms of the equilibrium constants of formation at (25±1)°C are (2.1±0.3) and (2.5±0.3) for the 2:1 and 3:2 complexes respectively. The characteristic Na-23 relaxation rates and chemical shifts of the aggregated complexes are compatible with a structure of ion pairs linked by the crown ether.

Molecular photonics of polymethine dyes in complexes with cucurbit[7, 8]urils

Thiacarbo- and thiadicarbocyanine indolenine and thiazoline polymethine dyes form host?guest complexes with cucurbit[7,8]urils in water. Cucurbit[7]uril forms preferentially 1: 1 and 1: 2 monomeric complexes and cucurbit[8]uril forms 2: 1 and 2: 2 dimeric complexes. On the basis of quantum-chemical calculations, the structure of monomeric and dimeric complexes has been suggested. The complexation manifested itself in absorption, prompt and thermally activated delayed fluorescence spectra, as well as in the triplet?triplet absorption spectra. Dimeric complexes in the triplet state are involved in one-electron oxidation and participate in triplet?triplet energy transfer.     

Studies in cyclocopolymerization. VI. Copolymerization of trimethylvinylsilane and dimethyldivinylsilane with maleic anhydride

This paper reports the results of copolymerization of trimethylvinylsilane and dimethyldivinylsilane, respectively, with maleic anhydride. The former forms a 1:1 alternating copolymer while the latter, being a 1,4-pentadiene, forms a 1:2 cyclocopolymer. Consistent with the theory that charge-transfer complexes are involved in certain copolymerizations, it has been shown in this work that both of the vinyl silanes studied form charge-transfer complexes with maleic anhydride. The stoichiometric composition of these complexes have been shown by ultraviolet analysis to be 1:1 molar complexes. The equilibrium constants for complexation of trimethylvinylsilane and dimethyldivinylsilane with maleic anhydride have been determined by NMR and are 0.061 and 0.1071./mole, respectively.     

Salisaldehyde-2-aminobenzimidazole schiff base complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)

New metal complexes of Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) with salicylidine-2-aminobenzimidazole (SABI) are synthesized and their physicochemical properties are investigated using elemental and thermal analyses, IR, conductometric, solid reflectance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The base reacts with these metal ions to give 1:1 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in cases of Fe(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions; and 1:2 (Metal:SABI) complexes; in case of Ni(II) ion. The conductance data reveal that Fe(III) complex is 2:1 electrolyte, Co(II) is 1:2 electrolyte, Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes are 1:1 electrolytes while Ni(II) is non-electrolyte. IR spectra showed that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate mannar with O, N, N donor sites of the phenloic -OH, azomethine -N and benzimidazole -N3. Magnetic and solid reflectance spectra are used to infer the coordinating capacity of the ligand and the geometrical structure of these complexes. The thermal decomposition of the complexes is studied and indicates that not only the coordinated and/or crystallization water is lost but also that the decomposition of the ligand from the complexes is necessary to interpret the successive mass loss. Different thermodynamic activation parameters are also reported, using Coats-Redfern method. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis, spectral and thermal studies of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complex dyes based on hydroxyquinoline moiety

A series of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of azo-compounds containing hydroxyl quinoline moiety have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moments, IR, electronic and ESR spectral studies. The results revealed the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 (L:M) complexes. The molar conductance data reveal that the chelates are nonelectrolyte. IR spectra indicate that the azodyes behave as monobasic bidentate or dibasic tetradentate ligands through phenolate or carboxy oxygen, azo N for 1:1 (L:M) complexes beside phenolate oxygen and quinoline N atoms for 1:2 (L:M) complexes. The thermal analyses (TG and DTA) as well as the solid electrical conductivity measurements are also studied. The molecular parameters of the ligands and their metal complexes have been calculated.     

Synthesis and spectral studies of macrocyclic Pb(Ⅱ), Zn(Ⅱ), Cd(II)and La(Ⅲ) complexes derived from 1,4-bis(3-aminopropoxy)butane with metal nitrate and salicylaldehyde derivatives

Eight new macrocyclic complexes were synthesized by template reaction of 1,4-bis(3-aminopropoxy)butane with metal nitrate and 1,3-bis(2-forrnylphenyl)propane or 1,4-bis(2-formylphenyl)butane and their structures were proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-vis, molar conductivity measurements, 1H NMR and mass spectra. The metals to ligand molar ratios of the complexes were found to be 1:1. The complexes are 1:2 electrolytes for Pb(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes and 1:3 electrolytes for La(lIl) as shown by their molar conductivities (Am) in DMSO at 10-3 tool L-l. Due to the existence of free ions in these complexes,such complexes are electrically conductive. The configurations of La(Ⅲ) and Pb(U) were proposed to probably octahedral and Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes were proposed to probably tetrahedral.     

A POTENTIOMETRIC STUDY OF METAL CHELATES WITH PENTAETHYLENEHEXAAMINEOCTAACETIC ACID

Abstract

The protonation constants of pentaethylenehexaamineoctaacetic acid, PHOA, were determined by potentiometric titration in aqueous solution at an ionic strength of 0.10 M KNO₃ and at 25°C. The formation constants of various metal-PHOA complexes were also obtained by titrating mixtures of metal to ligand in molar ratios of 1:1 and 2:1. Calculations were performed with the computer program BEST. Individual formation constants are reported for Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hg(II) and Pb(II) with PHOA as well as their related protonated species. The stabilities of the 1:1 and 2:1 complexes are similar in many respects to complexes formed with tetraethylenepentaamineheptaacetic acid (TPHA). The similarities in the stabilities of both the 1:1 and 2:1 complexes with PHOA and those with TPHA are explained in terms of ligand denticity and steric effects. Mercury(II)-PHOA complexes exhibited the highest formation constants, followed by copper(II)-PHOA complexes which had higher log K _ML's than those for Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II).     

Synthesis and spectral studies of macrocyclic Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and La(III) complexes by template reaction of 1,2-bis(2-formylphenyl)ethane with metal nitrate and various diamine

Eight new macrocyclic complexes were synthesized by template reaction of 1,4-bis(3-aminopropoxy)butane or (±)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with metal nitrate and 1,2-bis(2-formylphenyl)ethane and their structures were proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, molar conductivity measurements, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. The metals to ligand molar ratios of the complexes were found to be 1: 1. The complexes are 1: 2 electrolytes for Cd(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) complexes and 1: 3 electrolytes for La(III) as shown by their molar conductivities (Λ_m) in DMSO at 10⁻³ mol L⁻¹. Due to the existence of free ions in these complexes, such complexes are electrically conductive. The configurations of Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes were proposed to probably tetrahedral, La(III) complexes are octahedral and Pb(II) complexes are octahedral geometry in the L¹ complex and tetrahedral geometry in the L² complex.
