Synthesis, structure, and properties of benzoquinone dimer and trimers bearing t-Bu substituents

Highly soluble and stable quinone dimer and trimers were successfully yielded by introduction of t-Bu substituents. In X-ray structure analysis, the dimer quinone moiety was distorted into the boat shape, which was clarified by MO calculations. X-ray and UV/vis studies indicated that the covalently linked quinone moieties bear a large torsional angle. Nevertheless, the reduction potentials rose significantly with the order of monomer < dimer < trimer, indicating that the negative charge was efficiently delocalized within the radical anions.

Synthesis, properties, and crystal structure of a novel anthracene-bridged molybdenum-zinc porphyrin dimer

The synthesis and properties of novel anthracene-bridged porphyrin dimers having an oxomolybdenum(V) porphyrin unit, H(2)(DPA)[Mo(V)O(OMe)] (1) and (DPA)[Mo(V)O(OMe)][Zn(II)(MeOH)] (2), and the relevant monomer porphyrin complexes Mo(V)O(MPP)OMe (3) and Zn(II)(MPP) (4) are presented. An oxomolybdenum(V) unit was introduced into one of the two porphyrins in DPA to give 1, which has a free-base porphyrin unit. By introducing a zinc(II) ion to the free-base part, a mixed-metal complex of 2 was prepared and isolated. The structure of 2 was analyzed by X-ray crystallography (2.(7)/(6)CH(2)Cl(2), triclinic, P(-)1 (no. 2), a = 15.2854(12) A, b = 19.9640(15) A, c = 13.6915(12) A, alpha = 90.968(3), beta = 113.108(4), gamma = 96.501(4), Z = 2, R1 = 9.9, wR2 = 19.2). The structure of 2 demonstrated that a methanol is stably coordinated to the Zn(II) ion with the aid of a hydrogen bond to the methoxo ligand on the Mo(V) ion in the binding pocket of DPA. The electrochemical measurements of 2 suggested that the methanol was kept in the pocket of DPA in solution even at the reduced state of the molybdenum ion.     

The Ras dimer structure

Oncogenic mutated Ras is a key player in cancer, but despite intense and expensive approaches its catalytic center seems undruggable. The Ras dimer interface is a possible alternative drug target. Dimerization at the membrane affects cell growth signal transduction. In vivo studies indicate that preventing dimerization of oncogenic mutated Ras inhibits uncontrolled cell growth. Conventional computational drug-screening approaches require a precise atomic dimer model as input to successfully access drug candidates. However, the proposed dimer structural models are controversial. Here, we provide a clear-cut experimentally validated N-Ras dimer structural model. We incorporated unnatural amino acids into Ras to enable the binding of labels at multiple positions via click chemistry. This labeling allowed the determination of multiple distances of the membrane-bound Ras-dimer measured by fluorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. In combination with protein–protein docking and biomolecular simulations, we identified key residues for dimerization. Site-directed mutations of these residues prevent dimer formation in our experiments, proving our dimer model to be correct. The presented dimer structure enables computational drug-screening studies exploiting the Ras dimer interface as an alternative drug target.

By combining the incorporation of unnatural amino acids, click chemistry, FRET and EPR distance measurements, protein modeling and biomolecular simulations, we obtained an unambiguous Ras dimer structural model and disrupt the dimer by mutagenesis.     

The structure of the carbon dioxide dimer

The structure of the carbon dioxide dimer is discussed theoretically in terms of two empirical potentials and using CNDO/2 and ab initio quantum mechanical calculations. All these methods support the conclusion that there are two structures of comparable energy, the lower one being non-polar.     

Radical reaction of methallyl chloride and polychloromethanes withβ-elimination of chlorine atom

Conclusions A study was made of the radical reaction of methallyl chloride with CCl₄ and CHCl₃ in the presence of peroxide initiators. On the basis of the structures of the isolated products and certain kinetic data a reaction mechanism was proposed with the postulated-elimination of the chlorine atom from the intermediate radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1331–1337, June, 1972.     

The electronic structure of the HCN dimer and trimer

The electronic structure and energy of dimerization and trimerization of HCN are computed with an STO-3G basis and the results found to be in good agreement with the experimental E. Unlike CNDO/2, this small ab initio basis predicts the correct geometry for the dimer of hydrogen cyanide. The charge redistribution effects found in this H-bond involving a C-H proton donor and sp hybridized acceptor are similar to those found in previous H-bonded studies.

Alkyltributylphosphonium chloride ionic liquids: synthesis, physicochemical properties and crystal structure

A series of alkyltributylphosphonium chloride ionic liquids, prepared from tributylphosphine and the respective 1-chloroalkane, C(n)H(2n+1)Cl (where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 or 14), is reported. This work is a continuation of an extended series of tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids, where the focus is on the variability of n and its impact on the physical properties, such as melting points/glass transitions, thermal stability, density and viscosity. Experimental density and viscosity data were interpreted using QPSR and group contribution methods and the crystal structure of propyl(tributyl)phosphonium chloride is detailed.     

Internal structure, hygroscopic and reactive properties of mixed sodium methanesulfonate-sodium chloride particles

Internal structures, hygroscopic properties and heterogeneous reactivity of mixed CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were investigated using a combination of computer modeling and experimental approaches. Surfactant properties of CH(3)SO(3)(-) ions and their surface accumulation in wet, deliquesced particles were assessed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and surface tension measurements. Internal structures of dry CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) assisted with X-ray microanalysis mapping, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). The combination of these techniques shows that dry CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles are composed of a NaCl core surrounded by a CH(3)SO(3)Na shell. Hygroscopic growth, deliquescence and efflorescence phase transitions of mixed CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl particles were determined and compared to those of pure NaCl particles. These results indicate that particles undergo a two step deliquescence transition: first at ～69% relative humidity (RH) the CH(3)SO(3)Na shell takes up water, and then at ～75% RH the NaCl core deliquesces. Reactive uptake coefficients for the particle-HNO(3) heterogeneous reaction were determined at different CH(3)SO(3)Na/NaCl mixing ratios and RH. The net reaction probability decreased notably with increasing CH(3)SO(3)Na and at lower RH.     

The preparation,structure, and conductivity of scandium-substituted NASICONs

A series of NASICON type compounds was prepared in which Sc(III) partially replaced Zr(IV). By simultaneously correlating the extent of this substitution with the amount of Si(IV) replacement of P(V) it was possible to obtain a series with a constant amount (3 mole) of sodium ion. All of the rhombohedral members of this series exhibited similar conductivities and activation energies over the temperature range 30–350°C. Transformation to the monoclinic phase occurred at a composition of Na₃Sc_0.5Zr_1.5Si_1.5P_1.5O₁₂ and was accompanied by a threefold increase in conductivity. Activation energies of the monoclinic (room temperature) phases in the temperature range 200–300°C were 0.2–0.23 eV. Crystal structures of the rhombohedral phase of composition Na₃ScZrSiP₂O₁₂ and the monoclinic phase, Na₃Sc_0.5Zr_1.5Si_1.5P_1.5O₁₂, were carried out by Rietveld refinement of their X-ray powder patterns. The structures confirmed those presented by Hong, and also confirmed the stoichiometry of these phases as evidenced from site occupancy refinement. These results were compared with the structure of a nonstoichiometric phase, Na_3.20Zr_1.68Si_1.84P_1.16O_11.54, prepared by a hydrothermal route. In the latter case it was shown that the low Zr content is due to Na⁺ substitution for Zr⁴⁺. No such substitution occurred in the scandium containing phases, and it is suggested that when Sc³⁺ substitution for zirconium takes place it prevents the sodium ion from occupying these sites.     

Synthesis,structure, and magnetic properties of two dimer paddle-wheel CuII toluate complexes with nitronyl nitroxide radicals

Two new paddle-wheel dimeric copper complexes, [Cu₂(4-MePhCOO)₄(NITmPy)₂] (1) and [Cu₂(3-MePhCOO)₄(NITmPy)₂] (2) (NITmPy?=?2-(3-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro1H-imidazolyl-1-oxyl-3-oxide), were synthesized by reaction of copper toluate and NITmPy. Single crystal X-ray analyses revealed that both complexes are symmetrical dimers. Cu with four deprotonated methyl-benzoate bridging ligands form a paddle-wheel core and pyridyl nitrogen of radical ligands at the apical position. Based on the Cu–Cu axis of 1 and 2, we exploited the steric constraints of the methyl groups and induced the paddle-wheel. Two magnetic exchange pathways with strong antiferromagnetic interaction between dimeric Cu^II ions and weak antiferromagnetic interaction between NITmPy ligands exist in the complexes. IR and powder X-ray diffraction of the complexes were also studied.     

Cryosynthesis,structure, and spectroscopic properties of aluminum chloride—cobalt(ii) chloride complexes: experiment and calculations

Products of co-condensation of aluminum chloride and cobalt(ii) chloride vapors were studied by low-temperature (80—200 K) IR spectroscopy. In addition to 2 : 1 complexes, previously unknown equimolar associates were found and their IR spectra were investigated. Quantum-mechanical calculations were carried out including electron correlation with the use of the B3LYP and PBE density functionals. The geometric structures were optimized and harmonic vibrational frequencies of the molecules of aluminum chloride, cobalt chloride, and their complexes with different compositions were calculated. Under conditions of limited molecular mobility, the (AlCl₃)₂·CoCl₂ complexes can be stabilized in structures containing the Co atom in a tetrahedral or distorted octahedral environment. Their thermal stability limits were determined. It was found that labile ionic species are generated in the reactions of aluminum chloride complexes with cobalt chloride with different compositions at 120—170 K.     

The influence of the structure of aromatic diisocyanates on the preparation and the properties of polyurethanes

The comparative reactivities of the following aromatic diisocyanates were studied: 4,4′-stilbene diisocyanate-trans, 4,4′-diisocyanatodiphenyl ether, methylene-bis-(4-phenylisocyanate), 4,4′-bibenzyl diisocyanate and 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate. Polyurethanes were prepared from ethylene glycol and these diisocyanates. The more reactive was the diisocyanate, the less stable was the polyurethane to thermal degradation and ultraviolet radiation.     

Thermal decomposition of anionic organoaluminum compounds : V. The preparation and crystal structure of the (isopropylideneamino)dimethylaluminum dimer

The thermolysis of K[Al₂(CH₃)₆SCN] at 120° leads to the formation of [(CH₃)₂AlNC(CH₃)₂]₂. Verification of the dimeric configuration of (isopropylidenamino)dimethylaluminum has been obtained from three-dimensional X-ray data measured by counter methods.

Leastsquares refinement gave a final conventional R value of 0.058 for 1230 independent reflections. Proposed structures of the parent 2/1 complex, as well as mechanisms for the formation of (isopropylidenamino)dimethylaluminum are discussed.
