COMPLEX FORMATION BETWEEN PYRENE AND THE NUCLEOTIDES GMP, CMP, TMP AND AMP

Pyrene has been found to form ground and excited electronic state complexes of 1:1 stoichi-ometry with GMP, CMP, TMP and AMP. The values of their ground state association constants are 45 M^-1, 13M^-1, 14 M^-1, and 52 M^-1 respectively. The fluorescence of pyrene is strongly quenched by GMP, CMP, and TMP but only slightly by AMP. Fluorescence quenching analysis has yielded the values 87M^-1, 73 M^-1, and 154 M^-1 for the excited state association constants with GMP, CMP, and TMP, respectively. The corresponding values for the excited state second-order rate constant for complex formation are: 3.3 times 10⁹M^-1 s^-1 4.1 times 10⁹M^-1 s^-1, and 4.0 times 10⁹M^-1 s^-1. The probabilities of complex formation per collision between an excited pyrene molecule and a nucleotide are: 0.52, 0.64, and 0.63. The values for the excited state rate constant for dissociation of the complex are: 3.8 times 10⁷s^-1 5.6 times 10⁷s^-1, and 2.6 times 10⁷s^-1. The possibility is discussed that partial transfer of charge from pyrene to nucleotide may be playing a role in the complex formation process.     

COMPLEX FORMATION BETWEEN ALCOHOLS AND THE AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS PYRENE AND 1-METHYLPYRENE

Abstract—Pyrene and 1-methylpyrene have been shown by infrared spectrometry to form 1:I molecular complexes with alcohols at a concentration of 0.02 M in CCl₄ solutions. The association constants are of the order of 1 M^-1. The fluorescence decay profiles of 10μM pyrcnc in dilutc butanol-heptane solutions have been found to be the sum of two exponential components in agreement with ground state complex formation     

WEAK COMPLEX FORMATION BETWEEN PYRENE AND POLAR SOLVENTS

Abstract— Evidence of complex formation between pyrene and polar solvent molecules has been obtained by monitoring the S₁,← S₀ and S₂← S₀ absorption spectra of pyrene. The solvents employed are propionitrile, valeronitrile, dichloromethane, and dioxane. The stabilization energy is found to be small relative to general hydrogen bond energies, but somewhat high relative to the Boltzmann energy. These are in good accord with the findings of Lianos and Georghiou [ Photochem. Photobiol. 30 ,355 (1979)] that pyrene forms 1:1 molecular complexes with several dipolar solvents in the ground state.     

THE EFFECT OF MERCURIC IONS ON THE EXCITED STATES OF DNA-INTERCALATED ETHIDIUM BROMIDE

The first excited triplet state of DNA-intercalated ethidium bromide is produced with a quantum yield of 0.010.002 on irradiation at 532 nm. A difference extinction coefficient of 1.50.210³ m² mol^?1 is measured for the triplet state at 380 nm. Mercuric ions quench the first excited singlet state of DNA-intercalated ethidium bromide via induced spin orbit coupling to give an increased yield of ethidium triplet states. The same mercuric ion that quenches the singlet state then quenches the triplet state, via the same mechanism, with a rate constant of ca 3.510³ s^?1. An upper limit for the rate of detachment of Hg²⁺ from its binding site in DNA may be fixed at ca 10³ s^?1.     

THE EQUILIBRIA AND KINETICS OF THE COMPLEX FORMATION BETWEEN Fe(III) AND TARTARIC AND CITRIC ACIDS

Abstract

The equilibria and kinetics of formation of 1 : 1 iron(III) complexes with tartaric and citric acids have been studied in the pH range 1.0–2.0 in aqueous alcoholic perchlorate media. The equilibrium constants for the reactions Fe³⁺ +

H₄L^keq Complex + nH⁺ were obtained from spectrophotometric measurements in the wavelength range 360–420 nm. The values of K _eq determined at 20°, μ=1.0 M (water 100%), were 0.21 M with n=2 for tartaric and 0.0186 M² with n=3 for citric acid. The stoichiometry of the complex formation and the reaction sites of the ligands were discussed with reference to previous findings on ligands of related structures. The kinetics of the reactions were carried out by the stopped-flow technique. From the hydrogen ion dependence of the reaction rates it can be shown that complex formation occurs between FeOH²⁺ and differently protonated forms of the ligands. Forward rates for the different paths are consistent with an SN1 IP interaction in agreement with the Eigen mechanism; forward and reverse rate quotients enabled the evaluation of the equilibrium constants which agreed satisfactorily with the spectrophotometric ones. The effect of varying the solvent composition (water-alcohol) was discussed with reference to the reaction mechanism.

KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF COMPLEX FORMATION BETWEEN [PtCl(DIEN)]+ AND THIOLS AND THIOETHERS

Abstract

Reactions of the monofunctional platinum(II) complex, [PtCl(dien)]⁺, with different thiols and thioethers, including biologically important molecules, have been studied as a function of temperature (288.2–308.2K) using conventional electronic spectrophotometry in 0.10 M aqueous hydrochloric acid and by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The second-order rate constants, k₂, are similar, varying between 1.43 × 10^?3 and 46.1 × 10^?3 M^?1s^?1 at 25°C. The reactivity follows the sequences: D-penicillamine ≤ L-cysteine ≤ glutathione ≤ thiodiglycolic acid ≤ thioglycolic acid ≤ L-methionine ≤ S-methylthioglycolic acid ≤ glycyl-D,L-methionine. However, variation in size, bulkiness and solvation of the entering ligands reflect in their properties as nucleophiles. Large negative values of the entropy of activation (ΔS≠), between ?140 and ?190 J K^?1 mol^?1, indicate that all thiols and thioethers react via the same associative mechanism. Results have been analyzed in relation to the antitumor activity and toxicity of platinum(II) complexes.

Abstract

Complexation of some heavy metal cations in aqueous solution by diaza crown ethers and cryptands has been studied using pH-metric titrations. In most cases, macrobicyclic cryptands form more stable complexes than diaza crown ethers. The size of the cavity aiso influences the stability of the complexes formed.

THE DISPLACEMENT OF BROMIDE ION BY DIMETHYL PHOSPHITE FROM THE OXOPENTABROMOMOLYBDATE(V) COMPLEX

Abstract

A study of the chemical behaviour of dimethyl phosphite, (CH₃O)₂PO(H), with ammonium oxopentabromo-molybdate(V), (NH₄)₂MoOBr₅, in the tetrahydrofuran was carried out. The stepwise substitution of the bromo ligand by dimethyl phosphite was observed by analysis of esr spectral changes. The relative concentration of each species in solutions of this reaction mixture was obtained as a function of time with the assistance of computer stimulated esr spectra by using a curvefitting program. Rate constants and activation parameters of each individual substitution step were obtained.     

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CATIONIC STARCH AND ANIONIC SURFACTANTS III RHEOLOGY AND STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX PHASE

This paper reports on studies of the rheological properties of cationic starch (CS)/ surfactant systems. The degree of substitution of the CS was 0.1 - 0.8. Surfactants investigated were sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), potassium octanoate (KOct), sodium decanoate (NaDe)potassium dodecanoate (KDod), sodium oleate (NaOl) and sodium erucate (NaEr). Aggregation of surfactant micelles with the polymer produces a hydrophobic and pseudoplastic gel-like complex phase with low water content and high viscosity. The rheological behavior of the gels is described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. In dilute aqueous solution the CS/surfactant aggregate structure resembles a randomly coiled polymer network, in which polymer molecules are linked by micelles. The rheological data for the gel are compatible with the assumption that the surfactants form liquid crystalline structures with the polymer anchored to the surfactant aggregates, as recently suggested for analogous systems. However, this conjecture needs to be corroborated by more direct determinations of the structure.     

FLUORESCENCE ENERGY TRANSFER BETWEEN DIMETHYLDIAZAPEROPYRENIUM DICATION AND ETHIDIUM INTERCALATED IN POLY d(A-T)

Dimethyldiazaperopyrenium is one of the largest known DNA intercalators. Fluorescence energy transfer occurred between dimethyldiazaperopyrenium (donor) and ethidium (acceptor) when these dyes were bound to a double-stranded polynucleotide such as poly d(A-T). The addition of increasing amounts of ethidium bromide led to a marked shortening of the fluorescence lifetime of the donor, whereas the excited state of the acceptor was progressively populated via energy transfer from the donor. Critical Förster distance between these two chromophores was calculated to be 3.8 nm. The observed transfer efficiency was lower than that calculated on the basis of this critical distance and a statistical distribution of bound drugs. These results are discussed taking into account the conformational change induced by intercalation of dimethyldiazaperopyrenium in the double-stranded polynucleotide.
