Theoretical study of reaction channels for the weakly bound complex systems created with HF,CO2, and various amines

This investigation conducted reaction channels of weakly bound complexes CO₂…HF, CO₂…HF…NH₃, CO₂…HF…NH₂CH₃, CO₂…HF…NH(CH₃)₂, and CO₂…HF…N(CH₃)₃ systems, using the Gaussian 98 package at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,2pd) level. The syn‐fluoroformic acid or syn‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers are more stable than the related anti‐fluoroformic acid or anti‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers. However, the above‐mentioned weakly bound complexes are more stable than both the related syn‐ and anti‐type fluoroformic acid or acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers and their related decomposed into CO₂ + HF or CO₂ + NHR₃F (R?H, CH₃) combined molecular systems. Five reaction channels of the weakly bound complexes exist. Each channel includes weakly bound complexes and their related above‐mentioned systems. Moreover, each reaction channel contains two transition states. The transition state between the weakly bound complex and anti‐fluoroformic acid type structure (T₁₃) is significantly higher than that of internal rotation (T₂₃) between syn‐ and anti‐FCO₂H (or FCO₂H…NR₃) structures. However, the above‐mentioned T₁₃ can significantly decrease its energy by adding the third molecule NH₃ or NR₃ (R?H or CH₃). The more CH₃ that is substituted in NR₃ of the reaction channel, the lower the activation energy of the transition state in the system is affected. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Intramolecular Diels—Alder reaction of 4-(N-furfuryl)aminobut-1-enes. New approach to the synthesis of 6,8a-epoxyoctahydroisoquinoline (3-aza-11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.01,6]undec-9-ene) derivatives

The intramolecular Diels—Alder reaction of readily accessible 4-substituted 4-(N-furfuryl)aminobut-1-enes was studied and a new one-step method was developed for the synthesis of 6,8a-epoxy-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydroisoquinoline (3-aza-11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.0^1,6]undec-9-ene) derivatives. The [4+2]-cycloaddition proceeds stereoselectively to form exo-adducts. The influence of substituents at the nitrogen atom in 4-(N-furfuryl)aminobut-1-enes on the cycloaddition pathway was examined.     

Synthesis and selective silylation of ω-hydroxy functionalized (η-alkenyl)carbene complexes of chromium(0) and tungsten(0) Part 11. The chemistry of metallacyclic alkenylcarbene complexes

Tungsten(0) carbene complexes of the type (OC)₅WC(NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OH)R 2 (R=Me: 2a; R=Ph: 2b) were generated by aminolysis of (OC)₅WC(OMe)R with cis-NHMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OH. Like their Cr-congeners 1, complexes 2 exist at room temperature as mixtures of Z- and E-isomers with regard to the C-N bond. The metallacyclic complexes (OC)₄WC(η²-NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OH)R (4) were obtained in good yields upon photo-decarbonylation of 2. Deprotonation/silylation of the complexes (OC)₄MC(η²-NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OH)Me (M=Cr: 3a; M=W: 4a) with one equivalent of ⁿBuLi/Me₃SiCl gave (OC)₄MC(η²-NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OSiMe₃)CH₃ (M=Cr: 5; M=W: 6), whereas with two equivalents of ⁿBuLi/Me₃SiCl complexes (OC)₄MC(η²-NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OSiMe₃)CH₂SiMe₃ (M=Cr: 7; M=W: 8) were formed. Hydrolysis of the latter yielded selectively (OC)₄MC(η²-NMeCH₂CHCHCH₂OH)CH₂SiMe₃ (M=Cr: 9; M=W: 10). The complexes 1-10 were analyzed in solution by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹H/¹H COSY, ¹H/¹H NOESY, ¹³C/¹H HETCOR).     

Interactions of proteins with uniform colloidal hematite and chromium hydroxide particles. I. Adsorption

The adsorption of ovalbumin, -globulin, and lysozyme on uniform spherical hematite and chromium hydroxide particles in aqueous media has been studied as a function of the pH at a constant ionic strength. The uptake of ovalbumin and -globulin was greatest at their isoelectric points and differed little at 10^–2 and 10^–3 mol dm^–3 NaNO₃. The adsorption of lysozyme was strongly influenced by the ionic strength.The deposition of ovalbumin on hematite in the presence of Mg (NO₃)₂ was significantly greater than that with NaNO₃ under otherwise comparable conditions. Dialysis experiments with ovalbumin against magnesium nitrate solutions showed Mg²⁺ to be specifically bound to the protein.The shapes of isotherms indicated monolayer coverage for ovalbumin and multilayer coating for lysozyme for both adsorbents. The shapes of isotherms of -globulin on hematite point to a rearrangement of the protein on the particle surface, while a monolayer was found on chromium hydroxide particles.Supported by the NSF Grant CHE-9108420Part of a Ph.D. thesis     

Molecular structure of potassium [N,N′-bis(salicylideneamino)nitroguanidonate-N,N′,-O,O′]nickel(ii), the product of condensation of (salicylideneamino)nitroguanidine with salicylaldehyde on a Ni2+ ion template

The crystal structure of the product of the condensation of (salicylideneamino)nitroguanidine with salicylaldehyde on a Ni²⁺ ion template, K[Ni(C₁₅H₁₀N₅O₄)] · DMF, has been studied. It was established that a planar Ni complex, consisting of isolated [NiL]^– anions and solvated [K⁺ · DMF] cations, is formed. The negative charge of the anion is localized mainly on the O atoms of the nitro group. The nitroguanidine fragment of the ligand occurs in the tautomeric form, which was not reported previously.Deceased in 1995Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A molecular docking model of SARS-CoV S1 protein in complex with its receptor, human ACE2

The exact residues within severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) S1 protein and its receptor, human ACE2, involved in their interaction still remain largely undetermined. Identification of exact amino acid residues that are crucial for the interaction of S1 with ACE2 could provide working hypotheses for experimental studies and might be helpful for the development of antiviral inhibitor. In this paper, a molecular docking model of SARS-CoV S1 protein in complex with human ACE2 was constructed. The interacting residue pairs within this complex model and their contact types were also identified. Our model, supported by significant biochemical evidence, suggested receptor-binding residues were concentrated in two segments of S1 protein. In contrast, the interfacial residues in ACE2, though close to each other in tertiary structure, were found to be widely scattered in the primary sequence. In particular, the S1 residue ARG453 and ACE2 residue LYS341 might be the key residues in the complex formation.     

Preparation and Characterization of Nano-ZnFe2O4/TiO2 Films

The nano-ZnFe2O4/TiO2 films possess the functions of desulfurization and degradation for organic pollutants. The sols of ZnFe2O4/TiO2 were prepared by sol-gel method and coated on glass and porous ceramic by vertical coating and dipping-lift processes, respectively, and the samples were obtained after drying and sintering. The composition, appearance, absorption spectrum of the films, and the influence of the film on porous ceramic performances were analyzed using SEM, AFM, UV-Vis spectrometer, and mercury porosimeter, respectively, to determine the operation parameters of the multifunction porous ceramic elements for gas-purification.
