Effect of Bulky Functional Groups on Donor and Acceptor Interactions and their Photoluminescence Properties

Material designs that use donor and acceptor units are often found in organic optoelectronic devices. Molecular level insight into the interactions between donors and acceptors are crucial for understanding how such interactions can modify the optical properties of the organic optoelectronic materials. In this paper, tris(4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)amine (pTPA) was synthesized as a donor in order to compare with unmodified triphenylamine (TPA) in a donor–acceptor system by having 2,4,6-triphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (TRZ) as an acceptor. Dimerization of donors and acceptors occurred in solvent when the concentration of solute is high. At 0 K, using a polarizable continuum model, the nitrogen atom of TPA is found to stack on top of the center of triazine of TRZ, whereas such alignment is offset in pTPA and TRZ. We attributed such alignment in TPA-TRZ as the result of attractive interactions between partial localization of 2p_z electrons at the nitrogen atom of TPA and the π deficiency of triazine in TPA-TRZ. By taking into account random motions of the solvent effect at 300 K in quantum molecular dynamics and classical molecular dynamics simulations to interpret the marked difference in emission spectra between TPA-TRZ and pTPA-TRZ, it was revealed that the attractive interaction between pTPA and TRZ in toluene is weaker than TPA and TRZ. Because of the weaker attractive interaction between pTPA and TRZ in toluene, the dimers adopted numerous ground state conformations resulting in broad emission bands superimposed with multiple small Gaussian peaks. This is in contrast to TPA-TRZ which has only one dominant dimer conformation. This study demonstrates that the strength of intermolecular interactions between donors and acceptors should be taken into consideration in designing supramolecular structures.     

二水合氯精氨酸的构象变化

以X光衍射实验对二水合氯酸的晶体结构进行了研究,重点讨论了影响精氨酸构象变化的主要因素并比较了在不同阴离子存在条件下精氨酸构象的变化情况。该晶体为单斜晶系,P21/c,a=11.0490(18);b=8.4876(13);c=11.2261(17);β=91.386(2);°Z=4;Dx=1.443Mg.m-3。精氨酸分子以顺式和反式两种构象沿C轴方向交错排列而羧基氧原子和相邻分子中的α-氨基N-H以氢键相连,形成常见的“头尾”相连构型;分子中的结晶水参与氢键的形成,类似“盐桥”作用;氯离子参与电荷平衡并和精氨酸的N-H形成较强的氢键作用和静电吸引力。上述作用使得精氨酸分子晶体形成了三维氢键网状超分子结构。

The complexation of apo-metallothionein with cadmium ion and its conformation study

The circular dichroism was used to study the complexation of two isoforms of rabbit liver apo-metallothioneins (apo-MT1 and apo-MT2) with Cd²⁺ ion and the influence of Cd²⁺ ion on the conformation of reconstituted MTs. The stability of sulfhydryls of apo-MT has been investigated at the room temperature in the presence of air. The reconstitutions of apo-MT1 with Cd²⁺ ion were carried out atpH 4.71 (stable state) andpH 7.9 (with 90% sulfhydryls oxidated) respectively. it was found that the characteristic CD band at 257 nm(+), 238 nm(?), 226 nm(+) of reconstituted MT with Cd²⁺ ion was the same as native MT atpH 4.71, however only one peak at 243 nm(+) appeared on the CD spectra atpH 7.9 which arose from mononuclear complexes with four separated thiolate ligands per Cd²⁺ ion. The CD spectra of apo-MTs+7 eq Cd²⁺ system were measured at variouspH values. It was found that the peak at 256 nm of apo-MT1 binding Cd²⁺ ion split into two small peaks atpH between 2.42 and 3.02, and became one peak atpH 3.32, while the shapes of Cd peaks of apo-MT2 binding Cd²⁺ ion did not change withpH, indicating that the binding sites and pathway of apo-MT1 binding Cd²⁺ ion were different from those of apo-MT2. A possible mechanism was suggested.     

MOLECULAR CONFORMATION OF IONIC SURFACTANTS IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

The molecular conformation of ionic surfactant in aqueous solution is investigated withfluorescent probes which are intrinsic insurfactant molecules or externally introduced. Quench-lng or pyrene monomer fluorescence by alkyltriphenylphosphonium or N-alkylpyridiniumobeys Stern-Voimer equation, being diffusi6n-controlled dynamic quenching, but the behaviorof quenching with different lengths of alkyl chain is "abnormal", i.e. the longer the chain,the greater the quenching rate constant. The pyrene excimer fluorescence is observed in theaqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB), and the inhibition (for cationicquenchers) and promotion (for anionic quenchers) effects of CTMAB on the quenching ofpyrene fluorescence are also observed. The self-coiling conformation of ionic surfactantmolecules in aqueous solution is proposed to be responsible for these observations and theconformation to be dynamic.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of 12-Oxime Dehydroabietic Acid Derivatives

Three novel dehydroabietate oxime derivatives were synthesized from dehydroabietic acid and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystallographic techniques. All of these 12-oxime dehydroabietic acid derivatives crystallize in orthorhombic system, space group P212121. In the structures, rings A and B exhibit chair and half-chair configurations, respectively and form trans ring junction with two methyl groups(C(19) and C(20)) in the axis positions. The oxime groups have E conformations. Comparison of conformations reveals subtle differences principally in ring B due to the modification in C(12). The E-acetaldehyde oxime derivative 2c showed distinct BKα gate-opening activity with an ionic current increase of 164% at 30 μM versus the control current.

药效团检索设计新的HIV-1蛋白酶抑制剂

通过对自建的未开发化合物三维结构库进行药效团检索,得到了4个对HIV-1蛋白酶抑制活化的化合物,通过构象分析发现包含药效团的构象处于优势构象,而且4个结构都含有带两个邻位羟基的苯环和一个间位羰基的药效团以及公共子结构。通过计算发现它们的疏水参数都很小。在考虑满足包含药效团的结构特征和有适中的疏水参数两个因素的前提下,设计出了新的具有潜在抑制HIV-1蛋白酶活性的化合物。它们的结构都比检索得到的四个化合物更为简单,因此易于合成。
