Relaxometric study of copper [15]metallacrown-5 gadolinium complexes derived from alpha-aminohydroxamic acids

Proton nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) profiles were recorded between 0.24 mT and 1.4 T for lanthanum(III)- and gadolinium(III)-containing [15]metallacrown-5 complexes derived from alpha-aminohydroxamic acids and with copper(II) as the ring metal. The influence of the different R-groups on the proton relaxivity was investigated, and a linear relationship between the relaxivity and the molecular mass of the metallacrown complex was found. The selectivity of the metallacrown complexes was tested by transmetalation experiments with zinc(II) ions. The crystal structure of the copper [15]metallacrown-5 gadolinium complex with glycine hydroximate ligands is reported.

The interaction of double-charged metal ions with monolayers and bilayers of phospholipids

Electrophoretic mobilities of hexadecane/water emulsions containing dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) or egg yolk lecithin (EYL) monolayers at the interface and those of liposomes prepared from the same lipids were measured as functions of the concentrations of Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺ cations in the aqueous phase. The surface potentials, surface charge densities (σ), and the Langmuir adsorption isotherms for various distances from the charged surface to the slip plane (d) were calculated on the basis of the Gouy-Chapman theory for 1∶2 electrolytes and the values of ζ-potentials. The binding constants (K) and parametersd were determined under the assumption that the maximum σ values correspond to one ion per phospholipid molecule at the interface. In the case of DMPC, the ion binding constants (L mol⁻¹) at 25°C are 230 and 87 for Ca²⁺, 31.5 and 21 for Mn²⁺, 11 and 6 for Cu²⁺, and 7.5 and 5.3 for Ni²⁺ in liposomes and emulsions, respectively. The affinities of Cu²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions for EYL monolayers and bilayers are lower than those for DMPC mono- and bilayers. Thed parameters for all ions are smaller than the radii of the hydrated ions. In the case of Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ni²⁺, thed values for mono- and bilayers are different. The differences in K values between monolayers and bilayers as well as those between DMPC and EYL mono- and bilayers can be attributed to the differences in the local environment and orientation of the interfacial phosphate groups in these systems.

Electron affinity of exotic systems under Debye plasma

Electron affinity of plasma embedded muonium (μ⁺e^?) and pionium (π⁺e^?) has been estimated using a general three‐body formalism within variational framework. Electron correlation is taken care of using extended Hylleraas basis sets. The stability of the three‐body systems have been studied under the Debye screening model of the plasma, which changes the Coulombic potential to the screened Coulomb one. The electron affinity of the muonium and pionium is maximum for free systems, and it decreases gradually toward zero with increase of the plasma strength, which tends to push the three‐body system toward gradual instability. The electron correlation contribution to the affinity has been analyzed. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2007     

Synthesis of 1,2-dihydroisoquinolines via the reaction of ortho-alkynylarylimines with bis-π-allylpalladium

The reaction of the ortho-alkynylarylimines 1 with allyltributylstannane and allyl chloride in the presence of allylpalladium chloride dimer (5 mol %) and Cu(OAc)₂ (20 mol %) in CH₃CN at 50 °C gave the 1,4-diallyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinolines 2 in good yields. Most probably, the reaction proceeds through tandem bis-allylation of the imine-alkyne functional groups with bis-π-allylpalladium.     

Solubilities of the cyclodextrins in the presence of transition metal salts

The solubilities of -, -, and -cyclodextrin have been measured in the presence of the first row transition metals: Cr³⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺; chlorides, nitrates and sulphates (in this case Fe²⁺), and, for companson, with CaCl₂, the corresponding Group IIa salt. Where possible the measurements are reported as a function of the activity of the salts. In general, for the transition metals the sulphates all show a linear decrease in solubility with increasing salt activity: for the nitrates the solubility increases and then reaches a limiting value; and for the chlorides a small decrease in solubility is observed at low activity followed by an increase in solubility at higher salt activity. Circular dichroism measurements confirm that there is no direct complexation at non-basic pH.Presented at the Sixth International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds, Istanbul, Turkey, 27–31 August 1995.

Tuning of the alpha-terthiophene radical cation coupling reaction using mixed micelles with varying charge density.

The photophysics and photochemistry of alpha-terthiophene (alphaT), compartmentalized in mixed nonionic/anionic micelles, have been investigated with focus on the influence of the micellar surface charge density on the formation of the radical coupling product alpha-hexathiophene (alphaH). By varying the ratio of nonionic-to-anionic surfactants, and assuming ideal mixing, the charge density of the mixed micelles was varied. From Poisson-Boltzmann calculations, performed using the cell model, the electrostatic potential and the counterion activity were estimated as a function of the distance from the micellar surface. Upon excitation, the triplet state of alphaT is formed, from which the alphaT radical cation can be formed by absorption of a second photon. The radical cation can form alphaH if it encounters another alphaT radical cation. Under the experimental conditions used, this implies that the alphaH formation only occurs if the compartmentalized radical cation is able to migrate from its host micelle to another micelle, either via the surrounding bulk or by fusion of two micelles followed by mixing of their contents before micellar fission. The formation yield of the radical cation depends on the charge density of the mixed micelle; a lower charge density, that is, an increased amount of nonionic surfactant, lowers the yield. The yield of the coupling product alphaH, however, does not follow the same trend. A maximum yield of alphaH is found at intermediate nonionic surfactant molar ratios. This behavior is understood in terms of the Poisson-Boltzmann simulation results and by comparing charge-density changes as a function of molar fraction with the changes in counterion activity. The alphaH yield is a result of the balance between an increased possibility of radical cation bulk migration and a lowered electrostatic stabilization of the radical.     

Fluorescence signalling of the transition metal ions: Design strategy based on the choice of the fluorophore component

Transition metal ions are notorious for their fluorescence quenching abilities. In this paper, we discuss the design strategies for the development of efficientoff-on fluorescence signalling systems for the transition metal ions. It is shown that even simplefluorophore-spacer-receptor systems can display excellentoff-on fluorescence signalling towards the quenching metal ions when the fluorophore component is chosen judiciously.
