Designing the molecular future

Approximately 25 years ago the first computer applications were conceived for the purpose of automated ‘de novo’ drug design, prominent pioneering tools being ALADDIN, CAVEAT, GENOA, and DYLOMMS. Many of these early concepts were enabled by innovative techniques for ligand-receptor interaction modeling like GRID, MCSS, DOCK, and CoMFA, which still provide the theoretical framework for several more recently developed molecular design algorithms. After a first wave of software tools and groundbreaking applications in the 1990s—expressly GROW, GrowMol, LEGEND, and LUDI representing some of the key players—we are currently witnessing a renewed strong interest in this field. Innovative ideas for both receptor and ligand-based drug design have recently been published. We here provide a personal perspective on the evolution of de novo design, highlighting some of the historic achievements as well as possible future developments of this exciting field of research, which combines multiple scientific disciplines and is, like few other areas in chemistry, subject to continuous enthusiastic discussion and compassionate dispute.     

New perthiophosphonic acid anhydrides and the direct indication of the dimer-monomer equilibrium. NMR and X-Ray Studies

New perthiophosphonic acid anhydrides (R-PS₂)_n with R = 2,4,6-tri-iso-propylphenyl and 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-methylphenyl have been prepared. For the latter case, the isolation of the monomer (n = 1), the 2,4-di-tertbutyl-6-methylphenyl-dithioxophosphorane, and both dimers (n = 2), cis- and trans-2,4-bis(2,4-di-tertbutyl-6-methylphenyl)-2, 4-dithioxo-1, 3, 2, 4-dithiadiphosphetane, has been determined. The new cis and trans dithiadiphosphetanes and dithioxophosphoranes as well as the known compounds (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl-PS₂)₂ and 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl-PS₂ are characterized by solution and high resolution solid-state ³¹P and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The existence of a dimer-monomer equilibrium is directly proved by 2D exchange ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that the reaction of the monomer with methanol is faster than the reaction of the dimer with methanol.     

Diode laser spectrum of the ν6 band of CH3I using a novel étalon as a calibration scale

The ΔK = Δl = +1 transitions of the ν₆ band of the CH₃I molecule were measured by a tunable diode laser spectrometer. A newly designed Fabry-Perot étalon with a free spectral range of 0.00945 cm^?1 was used to calibrate the line position very precisely. The present data were analyzed together with the previously reported transition wavenumbers, and precise molecular constants have been obtained.     

Error bounds for solutions of linear equations and inequalities

Given a system of linear equations and inequalities inn variables, a famous result due to A. J. Hoffman (1952) says that the distance of any point in ⁿ to the solution set of this system is bounded above by the product of a positive constant and the absolute residual. We shall discuss explicit representations of this constant in dependence upon the pair of norms used for the estimation. A method for computing a special form of Hoffman constants is proposed. Finally, we use these results in the analysis of Lipschitz continuity for solutions of parametric quadratic programs.     

Desymmetrised pentaporphyrinic gears mounted on metallo-organic anchors

Mastering intermolecular gearing is crucial for the emergence of complex functional nanoscale machineries. However, achieving correlated motion within trains of molecular gears remains highly challenging, due to the multiple degrees of freedom of each cogwheel. In this context, we designed and synthesised a series of star-shaped organometallic molecular gears incorporating a hydrotris(indazolyl)borate anchor to prevent diffusion on the surface, a central ruthenium atom as a fixed rotation axis, and an azimuthal pentaporphyrinic cyclopentadienyl cogwheel specifically labelled to monitor its motion by non-time-resolved Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). Desymmetrisation of the cogwheels was first achieved sterically, i.e. by introducing one tooth longer than the other four. For optimal mechanical interactions, chemical labelling was also investigated as a preferential way to induce local contrast in STM images, and the electronic properties of one single paddle were modulated by varying the porphyrinic scaffold or the nature of the central metal. To reach such a structural diversity, our modular synthetic approach relied on sequential cross-coupling reactions on a penta(p-halogenophenyl)cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(ii) key building block, bearing a single pre-activated p-iodophenyl group. Chemoselective Sonogashira or more challenging Suzuki–Miyaura reactions allowed the controlled introduction of the tagged porphyrinic tooth, and the subsequent four-fold cross-couplings yielded the prototypes of pentaporphyrinic molecular gears for on-surface studies, incorporating desymmetrised cogwheels over 5 nm in diameter.

Star-shaped cogwheel prototypes incorporating one sterically- or chemically-labelled porphyrinic paddle were designed and synthesised with the aim of achieving intermolecular gearing on surfaces.     

A precise study of the rotational spectrum of formaldehyde H212C17O and H213C17O

The pure rotational spectra of H₂¹²C¹⁷O and H₂¹³C¹⁷O have been investigated in the frequency region between 8 and 360 GHz in the ground vibrational state. For both isotopic species the ¹⁷O nuclear quadrupole coupling constants and spin-rotation constants have been obtained. From both Q- and R-branch transitions a set of rotational constants and several distortion constants could be derived employing Watson's formalism in A reduction. The obtained rotational constants are in Megahertz:

Summary The absolute configuration of (–)-(1R,3S)-4 has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The UV- and CD-spectra of the title compound8 and the intermediates for its synthesis are discussed. The stronger Cotton effects can be explained by application of the exciton theory to the observed CD-couplets. The CD of the lower homologue9 of known absolute configuration is in full agreement with that of homochirally analogue8.

Magnetic iron oxide nanopowders produced by CO₂ laser evaporation     

Heinz-Dieter Kurland  Janet Grabow  Gisbert Staupendahl  Wilfried Andrä  Silvio Dutz  Matthias Erich Bellemann 《Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials》2007

Magnetic iron oxide nanopowders were produced with the laser evaporation technique under normal process gas pressure. In addition, the generated particles were coated in situ with stearic acid and separated on magnets. The methods and the used laboratory setup are briefly described. Influences of essential process conditions, particularly the use of continuous and pulsed laser radiation as well as the properties of the process gas, were experimentally investigated. The produced nanopowders were analysed with TEM, XRD, and magnetic measurements and confirmed the in-principle suitability of the presented method.
