Non-aqueous capillary electrophoresis of p-quinone anion radicals.

The electrophoretic detection of two kinds of p-quinone anion radicals arising from the electrolysis of benzoquinone and chloranil was achieved by employing an acetonitrile medium. Sufficient dehydration of a running solution was necessary for the detection of the benzoquinone anion radical. Oxygen in the running solution also caused a serious decrease in the amount of the benzoquinone anion radical during electrophoresis. The addition of methanol as a hydrogen-donor decreased the electrophoretic mobility of the benzoquinone anion radical significantly, while that of the chloranil anion radical was little changed. This result is interpreted in terms of hydrogen-bonding interaction between the p-quinone anion radicals and methanol, reflecting the magnitude of their proton-accepting ability (benzoquinone anion radical > chloranil anion radical).     

Anion Exchange-Adsorption on Low Capacity Anion Exchangers: Separation of Organic Acids,Amino Acids,Small Chain Peptides

Abstract

The variables that influence the retention of organic analyte anions on a macroporous, high surface area polystyrenedivinyl-benzene copolymer that is chemically modified by attaching tetraalkylammonium groups to the copolymer surface are identified and studied as a function of anion exchange capacity. A combined adsorption-anion exchange retention of the organic analyte anion is possible providing the analyte has both a hydrophophic center and an anionic charge site. As the column anion exchange capacity (0 to 173 μeq of anion exchange sites/column was studied) increases, analyte retention due to adsorption decreases and retention due to anion exchange increases. The factors influencing organic analyte anion retention by adsorption are low anion exchange capacity and mobile phase solvent composition, type of organic modifier, and pH for analytes that are weak organic acids. For anion exchange the major factors are a high anion exchange

Interconversion of 3-Acylaminobenzisoxazoles and 3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles

Interconversion of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazoles (1) and 3-acylaminobenzisoxazoles (2) was observed in the presence of base carboxylate anion, triethylamine, alkali hydroxide, alcoholate. With proton transferring reagents (carboxylate, triethylamine) the equilibrium 1?2 is dependent on the substituent R; with anionic reagents (hydroxy anion, ethoxyl anion) the less basic anion of 1 is preferred. Alcohol effects further transformation of this anion and the alcohol adduct anion (6) is subject both to hydrolysis and alcoholysis (7) to yield 3-amino-benzisoxazole (3).

Anion-templated assembly of interpenetrated and interlocked structures

The rational development of a general anion templation strategy for the construction of a variety of interpenetrated and interlocked molecular structures based upon the coupling of anion recognition with ion-pairing is described. The success of this anion templation methodology is demonstrated with the halide anion directed assembly of a series of novel [2]pseudorotaxanes containing pyridinium, pyridinium nicotinamide, imidazolium, benzimidazolium and guanidinium threading components and anion binding macrocyclic ligands. Interlocked [2]rotaxane and [2]catenane molecular structures are also synthesised using this anion templation protocol. These interlocked structures feature unique topologically defined hydrogen bond donating binding domains that exhibit a high degree of selectivity for chloride, the templating anion. A series of rhenium(I) bipyridyl containing [2]pseudorotaxane assemblies and a [2]rotaxane further highlight the potential this strategic anion templation approach has in future chemical sensor design and fabrication.     

Exploiting the Catenane Mechanical Bond Effect for Selective Halide Anion Transmembrane Transport

The first examples of [2]catenanes capable of selective anion transport across a lipid bilayer are reported. The neutral halogen bonding (XB) [2]catenanes were prepared via a chloride template-directed strategy in an unprecedented demonstration of using XB⋅⋅⋅anion interactions to direct catenane assembly from all-neutral components. Anion binding experiments in aqueous-organic solvent media revealed strong halide over oxoanion selectivity, and a marked enhancement in the chloride and bromide affinities of the catenanes relative to their constituent macrocycles. The catenanes additionally displayed an anti-Hofmeister binding preference for bromide over the larger iodide anion, illustrating the efficacy of employing sigma-hole interactions in conjunction with the mechanical bond effect to tune receptor selectivity. Transmembrane anion transport studies conducted in POPC LUVs revealed that the catenanes were more effective anion transporters than the constituent macrocycles, with high chloride over hydroxide selectivity, which is critical to potential therapeutic applications of anionophores. Remarkably these outperform existing acyclic halogen bonding anionophores with regards to this selectivity. Record chloride over nitrate anion transport selectivity was also observed. This represents a rare example of the direct translation of intrinsic anion binding affinities to anion transport behaviour, and demonstrates the key role of the catenane mechanical bond effect for enhanced anion transport selectivity.     

Spectrophotometric determination of phosphate anion based on the formation of molybdophosphate in ethylene glycol-water mixed solution

New appropriate reaction system was found for spectrophotometric determination of phosphate anion. This spectrophotometric method is based on the color development due to the formation of yellow molybdophosphate anion in acidic ethylene glycol-water (EG-W) mixed solution containing Mo(VI) species. The solution containing e.g. 20 mM Na(2)MoO(4), 0.1 M HCl, and 40% (v/v) EG is colorless, and becomes immediately yellow by addition of phosphate anion. Thus the method is simple, rapid, and easy to carry out. Although Si(IV) species is well known to interfere with the determination of phosphate anion in many cases, the EG-W Mo(VI) solution remains colorless after addition of silicate anion at 1 mM level, indicating that no yellow molybdosilicate anion was formed in the EG-W solution. Under an optimized condition, the absorbance at e.g. 400 nm of the EG-W P(V)-Mo(VI) solution was proportional to the concentration of phosphate anion with good reproducibility, and the detection limit was 1 μM. Also the present method is less interfered by high concentrations of potassium and ammonium cations and oxidative nitrite anion as well as silicate anion.

Tuning anion‐π interaction via halogen substituent effects in cyanuric acids and its derivatives

Several anion‐π complexes of isocyanuric acid, thioderivatives and their halogen substituted derivatives with chloride anion have been studied. The geometric and energetic features, charges transfer from chloride anion to the aromatic rings and “atoms‐in‐molecules” analysis are performed and discussed for these complexes. The results show that the strength of the anion‐π interaction between cyanuric derivatives and chloride anion can be tuned by halogen‐substituting. The localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analyses shows that, in the total interaction, exchange and electrostatic energies are the dominant stabilizing forces, and the polarization energies also make a favorable contribution. Finally, solvent effect significantly weakens the anion‐π interaction between the isocyanuric derivatives and chloride anion, especially in polar solvents. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

High‐Fidelity Multistate Switching with Anion–Anion and Acid–Anion Dimers of Organophosphates in Cyanostar Complexes

The acid–base switching of complexes formed from anti‐electrostatic anion–anion homodimers of organophosphates and cyanostar macrocycles was investigated for the first time. High‐fidelity 2:2 complexes were selected by using suitably sized organo substituents. Reversible and direct switching occurs with triflic acid and hydroxide base. An unexpected acid⋅⋅⋅anion heterodimer was discovered with weaker picric acid, which helped reveal some of the elementary steps. Switching can also proceed in a cooperative (strong anion then weak acid) or stepwise manner (weak acid then strong anion).

Why does fluoride anion accelerate transmetalation between vinylsilane and palladium(II)-vinyl complex? Theoretical study

Transmetalation between palladium(II)-vinyl complex and vinylsilane was theoretically investigated with the DFT and MP2 to MP4 methods to clarify the reaction mechanism and the reasons why fluoride anion accelerates the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between vinyl iodide and vinylsilane. This transmetalation occurs with a very large activation barrier (45.8 kcal/mol) and a very large endothermicity (25.6 kcal/mol) in the absence of fluoride anion, where the potential energy change resulting from the solvation effect is evident. This is consistent with the experimental fact that this cross-coupling reaction does not proceed well in the absence of fluoride anion. The effects of fluoride anion were investigated in three possible reaction courses. In the first course, fluorovinylsilicate anion is formed before the transmetalation, and it reacts with the palladium(II)-vinyl complex. In the second course, an iodo ligand is substituted for fluoride anion, and then the transmetalation occurs between the palladium(II)-fluoro-vinyl complex and vinylsilane. In the third course, fluoride anion attacks the Si center of vinylsilane in the transition state of the transmetalation between the palladium(II)-iodo-vinyl complex and vinylsilane. Our theoretical calculation suggests that fluorovinylsilicate anion is not formed in the case of trimethylvinylsilane. In the second and third cases, the transmetalation occurs with a moderate activation barrier (E(a)) and a considerably large exothermicity (E(exo)): E(a) = 25.3 kcal/mol and E(exo) = 5.7 kcal/mol in the second course, and E(a) = 12.7 kcal/mol and E(exo) = 24.8 kcal/mol in the third course, indicating that fluoride anion accelerates the transmetalation via the second and third reaction courses. The acceleration of transmetalation by fluoride anion is clearly interpreted in terms of the formation of a very strong Si-F bond and the stabilization of the transition state by the hypervalent Si center, which is induced by the fluoride anion. Our computational results show that hydroxide anion accelerates the transmetalation in a manner similar to that observed with fluoride anion. From these results, we predict that the electronegative anion accelerates this transmetalation because the electronegative group forms a strong covalent bond with the silyl group and facilitates the formation of the hypervalent Si center in the transition state.     

Structure and reactivity of benzoylnitrene radical anion in the gas phase

The open-shell benzoylnitrene radical anion, readily generated by electron ionization of benzoylazide, undergoes unique chemical reactivity with radical reagents and Lewis acids in the gas phase. Reaction with nitric oxide, NO, proceeds by loss of N2 and formation of benzoate ion. This novel reaction is also observed to occur with phenylnitrene anion, forming phenoxide. Similar reactivity was observed in the reaction between benzoylnitrene radical anion and NO2, forming benzoate ion and nitrous oxide. Electronic structure calculations indicate that the reaction has a high-energy barrier that is overcome by the energy released by bond formation. Benzoylnitrene radical anion also transfers oxygen anion to NO and NO2 as well as to CS2 and SO2. In contrast, phenylnitrene anion reacts with carbon disulfide by C+ or CS+ abstraction, forming S- or S2-. Electronic structure calculations indicate that benzoylnitrene in the ground state resembles a slightly polarized benzoate anion, but with a free radical localized on the nitrogen.
