A rhodamine hydrazide–4-nitroindole-3-carboxaldehyde based turn on Hg2+ chemosensor: cytoplasmic live cell imaging,logic gate and memory device applications and computational studies

A new, highly sensitive probe L² for the selective detection of Hg²⁺ in organo-aqueous (H₂O:CH₃CN, 1:1, v/v, HEPES buffer, pH 7.2) medium has been synthesized from rhodamine 6G-hydrazide and 4-nitroindole-3-carboxaldehyde. It was thoroughly characterized by physicochemical techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The reaction of L² with Hg²⁺ gives a 1:1 stoichiometry resulting in a 146 fold fluorescence enhancement and a binding constant (K_f) of 3?×?10⁴ M^?1. The spirolactam form of the probe is non-fluorescent; however, it shows dual channel (absorbance and fluorescence) recognition of Hg²⁺ via CHEF effect through the opening of the spirolactam ring. The quantum yields of L² (0.00045) and L²-Hg²⁺ (0.29) show the higher stability of complex in the excited state over the free ligand. The 44.5?nM LOD value demonstrates the detection of Hg²⁺ at a very low concentration range. Cell imaging studies show the cytoplasmic recognition of Hg²⁺ by L². Experimental results are comparable with theoretical values obtained by DFT studies. The fluorescence emission of the complex was completely quenched by I^- and from the reversibility studies an advance level INHIBIT logic gate and memory device can be framed.

Synthesis,characterization and biological analysis of transition metal complexes with macro cyclic ligands derived from adipic acid,ethylenediamine with diethyloxalate and diethylmalonate

Macro-cyclic ligands from adipic acid, ethylenediamine with diethyloxalate and diethylmalonate and their respective metal complexes of Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with macro cyclic ligands (LO) and (LM) L [N,N′-bis(2-aminoethyl)hexanediamide] were synthesized successfully. These metal complexes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ultraviolet visible spectrometry, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass Spectrometry, CHNS and thermogravimetric analysis. The elemental analysis confirms the structures for Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes similar to octahedral geometry, Cu(II) complexes as a square planar geometry and Zn(II) complexes in the tetrahedral geometry. The molar conductivities of all the metal complexes were taken in 10^?3 M DMSO, and values of all the metal complexes showed their electrolytic nature which indicates the presence of chloride ions. Thermal analysis supports as the metal complexes are thermally stable. The result of antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms confirms that the metal complexes are potent bactericides and fungicides than the ligand. Metal complexes of LO with Cu(II) and Zn(II) were found to be highly active against S. typhimurium than the complexes of LM.

Novel Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalyst Co<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>4</Subscript>/FeWO<Subscript>4</Subscript> for Efficient Decomposition of Organic Pollutants

A highly efficient and visible light (λ ≥ 420 nm) responsive composite photocatalyst, Co₃O₄/FeWO₄ was prepared by simple impregnation method. The heterojunction semiconductors Co₃O₄/FeWO₄ demonstrated notably high photocatalytic activity over a wide range of composition than the individual component Co₃O₄ or FeWO₄ for the complete degradation of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DCB) in aqueous phase under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of composite was optimized at 1/99 Co₃O₄/FeWO₄ composition. After 2 h of visible light irradiation 51% decomposition of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DCB) was observed utilizing 1/99 Co₃O₄/FeWO₄ photocatalyst while the end members demonstrated a negligible degradation under the same experimental condition. The valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) of Co₃O₄ is located above the VB and CB of FeWO₄, respectively. Both the semiconductors Co₃O₄ and FeWO₄ exhibit strong absorption over the wide range of visible light. The obviously enhanced photocatalytic performance of Co₃O₄/FeWO₄ composite has been discussed on the hole (h⁺) as well as electron (e^?) transfer mechanism between the VB and CB of individual semiconductors.     

Nitro- and amino-substituted 10,10-dimethyl-10-sila-2-azaanthrones

Under conditions of the Mencke reaction, 10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydro-10-sila-2-azaanthracene is nitrated on the benzene fragment of the molecule, but the corresponding ketone is nitrated on the pyridine fragment. Dihydrosilaazaanthrone is nitrated by nitrating mixture in positions 5, 7, and 8 of the benzene fragment of the molecule. The nitro-substituted dihydrosilazaanthrones have been reduced to the corresponding amino derivatives.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1528–1531, November, 1985.     

10-Sila-2-azaanthracenes hydrogenated in the pyridine fragment

The corresponding 1,2,3,4,4a, 9,9a, 10-octahydro derivatives were obtained in the catalytic hydrogenation of 10,10-dimethyl- and 10-methyl-10-phenyl-9,10-dihydro-10-sila-2-azaanthracenes. The hydrogenation of 10,10-dimethyl-10-sila-2-azaanthrone also leads to a substituted octahydrosilaazaanthracene. Isomeric (with respect to the position of the double bond in the nitrogen-containing ring) hexahydrosilaaza-9-anthrols were isolated as a result of the reduction of the methiodide of this silaazaanthrone with sodium borohydride.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1279–1284, September, 1990.     

Measurement of deuterium in water by the falling drop method

Summary The falling drop method for the isotopic analysis of water sample is fully described. The optimum parameters of the ultra thermostat, the micropipet, the drop size, and the dropping medium for maximum accuracy are discussed. The o-fluorotoluene used should be of the highest purity elsewhere non-reproducible results are obtained. The accuracy obtained is 0.001% up to 0.096 mole% D₂O and 0.01% up to 0.994 mole% D₂O, although the relative accuracy is the same ±1.4% through the whole calibration curve and is comparable with that of mass spectrometry.

Das als Medium verwendete o-Fluortoluol muß von höchster Reinheit sein, da sonst keine reproduzierbaren Ergebnisse erhalten werden. Die Genauigkeit beträgt 0,001%–0,096 Mol-% D₂O und 0,01%–0,994 Mol-% D₂O. Die relative Genauigkeit, die im gesamten Bereich ±1,4% beträgt, ist mit der von massenspektrometrischen Bestimmungen vergleichbar.

     

Stereoselective Synthesis of HIV-1 Protease Inhibitor, DMP 323

DMP 323, a potent HIV-1 protease inhibitor, has been synthesized by an efficient stereoselective process, amenable to large scale preparations. The core C(2) symmetric diol was synthesized by a stereoselective pinacol coupling of CBZ protected D-phenylalanine. Judicious selection of protecting groups allowed cyclic urea formation under mild conditions, enhanced the ease of bis-alkylation, and led to intermediates which were easily purified without chromatography. Additionally, a one-pot, high yield process was developed to prepare the alkylating agent, 4-[(triphenylmethoxy)methyl]benzyl chloride from 1,4-benzenedimethanol.     

Novel excited quintet state in porphyrin: bis(quinoline-TEMPO)-yttrium-tetraphenylporphine complex

New mono- and bis[4-(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-quinolinoyloxy)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl](meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato)yttrium(III) complexes have been synthesized, and the properties of the excited states generated by photoexcitation of porphyrin were studied by time-resolved (TR) and pulsed two-dimensional electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. A TR-EPR spectrum was observed in the quartet (S=3/2) or quintet (S=2) states generated from interactions of one or two radicals with the photoexcited triplet state of the porphyrin. The zero-field splitting D values of these states were analyzed in terms of those of the triplet and the radical-triplet pair. The spin states of the excited states were definitely assigned by measuring the mutation frequencies with pulsed EPR.     

Spectrophotometric Determination of Prochlorperazine Maleate in Pure and Pharmaceutical Preparations

 Prochlorperazine maleate reacts with 1-naphthylamine and sodium nitrite, after heating for 110 s at 80 °C to give an orange red colour having maximum absorbance at 460 nm. The reaction is selective for prochlorperazine maleate with 0.01 mg/mL as visual limit of quantitation and provides a basis for a new spectrophotometric determination. The colour reaction obeys Beer’s law from 0.01 mg/10 mL to 0.33 mg/10 mL of prochlorperazine maleate and the relative standard deviation is 0.68%. The quantitative assessment of tolerable amounts of other drugs is also studied. Received September 22, 2000. Revision June 19, 2001
