8‐Chloro‐7‐(2,6‐di­chloro­benzyl)‐1,3‐di­methyl‐7H‐purine‐2,6(1H,3H)‐dione

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₁Cl₃N₄O₂, consists of two planar fragments which are nearly perpendicular to one another. The crystal packing is controlled by intra‐ and intermolecular C—H·O hydrogen bonds, and Cl·phenyl‐ring‐centroid and weak stacking interactions.

Electrochemical polymerization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole as a novel immobilization platform for microbial sensing

Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO₂)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at − 0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropolymerization time, pH and cell amount were examined by using glucose as the substrate. The linear relationships were observed in the range of 0.25–4.0 mM and 0.2–1.0 mM for G. oxydans and P. fluorescens based sensors, respectively.     

An unusual polycatenating network self‐assembled by the 2D → 2D parallel → 3D parallel interpenetration of coordinative and hydrogen‐bonded (6,3) motifs

In the title coordination compound, catena‐poly[[[bis[diaquacadmium(II)]‐μ₂‐trans‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene]bis{μ₂‐2,2′‐[(5‐carboxymethoxy‐m‐phenylene)dioxy]diacetato}] trans‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene solvate dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₁₂H₁₀O₉)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)(H₂O)₄]·C₁₂H₁₀N₂·2H₂O}_n, (I), each Cd^II centre adopts a pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination geometry. The incompletely deprotonated 2,2′‐[(5‐carboxymethoxy‐m‐phenylene)dioxy]diacetate (TCMB) ligands and trans‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene (bpe) ligands both act as bidentate bridges, linking the Cd^II centres into one‐dimensional ladders, which are connected into an undulating two‐dimensional (6,3) layer through O—H...N hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate groups of the TCMB ligands and the N atoms of the uncoordinated bpe ligands. Each undulating layer polycatenates two other identical layers, exhibiting the unusual combination of both 2D → 2D parallel and 2D → 3D parallel interpenetration (2D and 3D are two‐ and three‐dimensional, respectively).     

Cooperativity in chiroptical sensing with dendritic zinc porphyrins

Zinc porphyrin-appended dendrimers, 12PZn, 18PZn, 24PZn, and 36PZn, containing 12, 18, 24, and 36 zinc porphyrin units, respectively, were synthesized using zinc porphyrin dyad (2PZn) and triad (3PZn) as precursors. Although these dye-functionalized dendrimers all serve as chiroptical sensors for an asymmetric bipyridine (RR- and SS-Py2), the sensing capability is highly dependent on the structure of the dendritic scaffold. 2PZn, which is chiroptically silent toward Py2, turns cooperative and displays a large ICD (induced circular dichroism) response in the visible region when incorporated into 12PZn. Judging from the extents of contribution of each zinc porphyrin unit to the CD amplitudes ([Deltaepsilonmax]), the cooperativity in 24PZn (112 M-1 cm-1) is lower than that in 12PZn (196 M-1 cm-1) and much lower in dendron 4PZn (59 M-1 cm-1). In contrast, 3PZn, which is ICD-active toward Py2, hardly shows such an enhanced cooperativity when incorporated into 18PZn and 36PZn and dendron 6PZn, as well. Absorption spectroscopy suggests some unique conformational characteristics of the zinc porphyrin units in highly cooperative 12PZn.     

One-step synthesis of inherently chiral p-tert-butylcalix[4]azacrown

A one-step procedure is developed to synthesize inherently chiral p-tert-butylcalix[4]azacrown 1 through etherification between p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and compound 3, which can be amplified to efficiently prepare more inherently chiral calix[4]arenes in ABHH substitution pattern.
