Solvation largely accounts for the effect of N-alkylation on the properties of nickel(II/I) and chromium(III/II) cyclam complexes

The source of the effect of N-alkylation on the redox properties of Ni(II/I) and Cr(III/II) cyclam complexes has been investigated using DFT calculations. The structures of the anhydrous and hydrated complexes were optimized in the gas phase, and single point calculations were performed in a polarized continuum. The main results are the following: the decrease in outer sphere solvation upon N-alkylation is the major source of the relative stabilization of the lower oxidation state complexes by the tertiary amine ligands; tertiary amine nitrogen donors are stronger sigma-donors than the secondary amines, as predicted from the inductive effect of alkyls; steric strain elongates the metal-nitrogen bonds in the tertiary complexes and decreases the ligand strain energies; and the site of water binding to the complexes differs because of their different electronic structures (i.e., in the Ni complexes, the water molecules bind to the M[bond]N[bond]H sites, whereas in the Cr complexes they bind to the central metal cation). Outer sphere hydrogen bonding of water to the ligands in the coordination sphere lowers the ionization potentials by charge delocalization.     

Volumes of restricted Minkowski sums and the free analogue of the entropy power inequality

In noncommutative probability theory independence can be based on free products instead of tensor products. This yields a highly noncommutative theory: free probability theory (for an introduction see [9]). The analogue of entropy in the free context was introduced by the second named author in [8]. Here we show that Shannon's entropy power inequality ([6, 1]) has an analogue for the free entropy (X) (Theorem 2.1).The free entropy, consistent with Boltzmann's formulaS=klogW, was defined via volumes of matricial microstates. Proving the free entropy power inequality naturally becomes a geometric question.Restricting the Minkowski sum of two sets means to specify the set of pairs of points which will be added. The relevant inequality, which holds when the set of addable points is sufficiently large, differs from the Brunn-Minkowski inequality by having the exponent 1/n replaced by 2/n. Its proof uses the rearrangement inequality of Brascamp-Lieb-Lüttinger ([2]). Besides the free entropy power inequality, note that the inequality for restricted Minkowski sums may also underlie the classical Shannon entropy power inequality (see 3.2 below).Research supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation.

Precipitation and recrystallization of uniform CuCl particles formed by aggregation of nanosize precursors

Uniform, spherical CuCl particles were obtained by mixing aqueous solutions of CuCl ₂ and ascorbic acid in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as dispersing agent. The size and the uniformity of the resulting particles depended on the volume ratio of the reactant solutions, their concentrations, the distribution of the stabilizers, and the mixing method. The single jet precipitation yielded large spheres of broad size distributions, while the particles obtained by the double jet technique were rather uniform in size. The final colloidal CuCl particles were formed by the aggregation of nanocrystals, initially generated in the system. Depending on the pH of the reaction mixture, these particles slowly change to large CuCl crystals on aging in the mother liquor.

Synthesis of 5-cyclopropyluracil and 5-cyclopropylcytosine by the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction

5-Cyclopropyluracil and cyclopropylcytosine were prepared by the Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction of 5-bromo-2,4-di(trimethylsilyloxy)pyrimidine and 5-bromo-2,4-O,N-bis-trimethylsilylcytosine with tributylstan-nylcyclopropane. The reactions also gave dehalogenated pyrimidine bases as by-products. Attempts to use 2,4-O,N-bis-trimethylsilyl-5-iodocytosine as the halide gave complete dehalogenation.     

Characterizing the "shell phase" formed from amphiphilic picolinates

The shell phase forms when certain picolinates are subjected to energy input (via sonication or vortexing) while exposed to a water/toluene mixture. A shell, about 600 A thick and containing the picolinate and (very likely) toluene, surround the water droplets that are always produced during the mixing process. Solubility in either phase appears to be deleterious to shell formation. The shells, stable for months, are not easily distorted but can be punctured, even skewered, with a syringe needle without destroying the sphere, yet there is enough mobility among the molecules to repair the physical damage after the needle is removed. This, plus the absence of evidence for crystallinity, suggests a solid or semisolid film forms when picolinates, with the aid of an aromatic solvent, are provided the energy to rearrange themselves on water droplet surfaces. Structure-activity comparisons among the 10 compounds studied indicate that chain-chain association and intermolecular hydrogen bonding are dominant forces in a side-by-side self-assembly of the molecules within the shells.
