Dications of fluorenylidenes. The relationship between redox potentials and antiaromaticity for meta- and para-substituted diphenylmethylidenefluorenes

[reaction: see text] Electrochemical oxidation of meta-substituted diphenylmethylidenefluorenes (3a-g) results in the formation of fluorenylidene dications that are shown to be antiaromatic through calculation of the nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) for the 5- and 6-membered rings of the fluorenyl system. There is a strong linear correlation between the redox potential for the dication and both the calculated NICS and sigma(m). Redox potentials for formation of dications of analogously substituted tetraphenylethylenes shows that, with the exception of the p-methyl derivative, the redox potentials for these dications are less positive than for formation of the dications of 3a-g and for dications of p-substituted diphenylmethylidenefluorenes, 2a-g. The greater instability of dications of 2a-g and 3a-g compared to the reference system implies their antiaromaticity, which is supported by the positive NICS values. The redox potentials for formation of the dications of meta-substituted diphenylmethylidenes (3a-g) are more positive than for the formation of dications of para-substituted diphenylmethylidenes (2a-g), indicating their greater thermodynamic instability. The NICS values for dications of 3a-g are more antiaromatic than for dications of 2a-g, which is consistent with their greater instability of the dications of 3a-g. Although the substituted diphenylmethyl systems are not able to interact with the fluorenyl system through resonance because of their geometry, they are able to moderate the antiaromaticity of the fluorenyl cationic system. Two models have been suggested for this interaction, sigma to p donation and the ability of the charge on the substituted ring system to affect delocalization. Examination of bond lengths shows very limited variation, which argues against sigma to p donation in these systems. A strong correlation between NICS and sigma constants suggests that factors that affect the magnitude of the charge on the benzylic (alpha) carbon of the diphenylmethyl cation affect the antiaromaticity of the fluorenyl cation. Calculated atomic charges on carbons 1-8 and 10-13 show an increase in positive charge, and therefore greater delocalization of charge in the fluorenyl system, with increasing electronegativity of the substituent. The change in the amount of positive charge correlated strongly with NICS, supporting the model in which the amount of delocalization of charge is related to the antiaromaticity of the species. Thus, both aromatic and antiaromatic species are characterized by extensive delocalization of electron density.

Mass spectral identification and positional mapping of aflatoxin B1—Guanine adducts in oligonucleotides

The biological consequences of a carcinogen—DNA adduct are defined by the structure of the lesion and its position within the genome. Electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-ITMS) is shown here to be a sensitive and rapid approach capable of defining both of these parameters. Three isomeric oligonucleotides of the sequence 5′-CCGGAGGCC modified by the potent human carcinogen aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) at different guanines were analyzed by ESI-ITMS. All three samples possessed the same molecular ion confirming the presence of an intact aflatoxin moiety in each oligonucleotide. In addition, each sample displayed a characteristic fragmentation pattern that permitted unambiguous identification of the site of modification within the sequence. Furthermore, an AFB₁-modified oligonucleotide was converted under alkaline conditions to its more stable formamidopyrimidine (FAPY) derivative. Analysis of this sample revealed the presence of a molecular ion corresponding to the presence of the FAPY adduct and a distinctive fragmentation pattern that paralleled the known chemical stability of the FAPY metabolite. This approach should be of general use in the determination of not only the nature and site of covalent modifications, but also the chemical stability of DNA adducts.     

Azines possessing strong push-pull donors/acceptors

Azines (R(2)C[double bond, length as m-dash]N-N[double bond, length as m-dash]CR(2)) are 2,3-diaza analogues of 1,3-butadiene. In this report we show that strong polarisation of the azine imparts structural features consistent with delocalization within the azine fragment; NLO properties for the azines are also reported.     

Response of poly(vinyl chloride) electrodes based on the neutral carrier 1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane

Ion-selective electrodes based on the neutral carrier, 12-crown-4, in a poly(vinyl chloride) matrix were found to respond ideally, or almost ideally, to potassium, sodium, barium, strontium, magnesium, cobalt(II), nickel(II) and aluminum ions. The electrode showed good selectivity for Al³⁺ over Co²⁺ and Mg²⁺, and for Co²⁺ over Mg²⁺. Little selectivity was found for the other ions tested.     

Linear synthesis of the tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens Globo-H,SSEA-3, and Gb3

The tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens Globo-H, SSEA-3, and Gb3 were synthesized in a linear fashion using glycosyl phosphate monosaccharide building blocks. All of the building blocks were prepared from readily available common precursors. The difficult alpha-(1-->4-cis)-galactosidic linkage was installed using a galactosyl phosphate donor with high selectivity. Introduction of the beta-galactosamine unit required the screening a variety of amine protecting groups to ensure good donor reactivity and protecting group compatibility. An N-trichloroacetyl-protected galactosamine donor performed best for the installation of the beta-glycosidic linkage. Conversion of the trichloroacetyl group to the N-acetyl group was achieved under mild conditions, fully compatible with the presence of multiple glycosidic bonds. This synthetic strategy is expected to be amenable to the synthesis of the globo-series of tumor antigens on solid-support.

Determination of gamma-globulin at nanogram levels by its enhancement effect on the resonance light scattering of functionalized HgS nanoparticles

A novel assay of γ-globulin (γ-IgG) with a sensitivity at the nanogram level is proposed based on the measurement of enhanced resonance light-scattering (RLS) signals resulting from the interaction of functionalized nano-HgS with γ-globulin. At pH 5.03, the RLS signals of functionalized nano-HgS were greatly enhanced by γ-globulin in the region of 200-700 nm characterized by the peak around 362 nm. Linear relationship can be established between the enhanced RLS intensity and γ-globulin concentration in the range of 10-140 ng ml⁻¹. The limit of detection is 2.71 ng ml⁻¹. Based on this, a new direct quantitative determination method for γ-globulin in blood serum samples without separation of human serum albumin (HSA) is established. The contents of γ-IgG in blood serum samples were determined with recovery of 95.7-102.5% and R.S.D. of 1.6-2.4%. This method is proved to be very sensitive, rapid, simple and tolerance of most interfering substances.     

Preparation and application of functionalized nanoparticles of CdS as a fluorescence probe

CdS nanoparticles have been prepared and modified with mercaptoacetic acid. The functionalized nanoparticles are water-soluble and biocompatible. They could be used as a fluorescence probe in the determination of bovine serum albumin (BSA), which was proved to be a simple, rapid and specific method. In comparison with single organic fluorophores, these nanoparticle probes are brighter, more stable against photobleaching, and do not suffer from blinking. Under the optimum conditions, the response is linearly proportional to the concentration of BSA between 0.1 and 3.2 μg ml⁻¹, and the limit of detection is 0.08 μg ml⁻¹.
