Studies on some oxovanadium(IV) complexes of acyl pyrazolone analogues

A series of novel bidentate pyrazolone based Schiff base ligands were synthesized by interaction of 4-benzoyl-3-methyl-1-(4′-methylphenyl)-2-pyrazolin-5-one with various aromatic amines like aniline, o-,m-,p-chloroaniline and o-,m-,p-toluidine in a ethanolic medium. All of these ligands have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR data. The molecular geometries of five of these ligands have been determined by single crystal X-ray study. Crystallographic study reveals that these ligands exist in the amine-one tautomeric form in the solid state. NMR study also suggests the existence of the amine-one form in solution at room temperature. Ab initio calculations for representative ligand HL¹ has been carried out to know the coordination site of the ligand. Novel vanadium Schiff base complexes of these ligands with general formula [OV(L^1–7)₂(H₂O)] have been prepared by interaction of aqueous solution of vanadyl sulfate pentahydrate with DMF solution of the appropriate ligands. The resulting complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, vanadium determination, molar conductance and magnetic measurements, thermo gravimetric analysis, infrared and electronic spectral studies. Suitable distorted octahedral structures have been proposed for these complexes.     

Effect of group II metal cations on catecholate oxidation.

The unexpected effects of Ca(2+) on the free-radical chain reactions of dopamine, norepinephrine, isoproterenol, and pyrocatechol oxidation are studied using oxygen consumption measurements, EPR-spectroscopy, UV/VIS spectrophotometry, and by potentiometric titration. It is found that the formation of Ca(2+)-catecholate complexes is accompanied by an increase in the dissociation constants (K(ai) ) of their phenolic hydroxyls. At pH>pK(ai) and in the presence of alkaline-earth metal cations, the rate of catecholate oxidation increases (Ca(2+), Mg(2+)> Sr(2+), Ba(2+)), whereas on addition of Zn ions the rate decreases. The effects of Group II metal cations on catecholate autoxidation are concomitant with a transient increase of the EPR signal for metal-semiquinonate complexes. Therefore, the effects of Ca(2+) and other alkaline-earth metal cations on catecholate autoxidation can be defined as 1) additional deprotonation of catechol OH-groups involved in the formation of M(2+)-catecholate complexes, the latter exceeding catechols in the susceptibility to dioxygen-induced oxidation and 2) formation of relatively stable free-radical intermediates responsible for chain propagation.     

卟啉作为信号传递介质的紫外可见光谱研究

合成了6种氨基酸水杨醛席夫碱(Sal-AA)：Sal-Gly(甘氨酸)、Sal-Phe(苯丙氨酸)、Sal-Arg(精氨酸)、Sal-Tyr(酪氨酸)、Sal-Met(甲硫氨酸)、Sal-Glu(谷氨酸)及其金属铜配合物。并分别在2种不同介质(三氯甲烷和甲醇)中，与四苯基卟啉TPP进行反应，研究了其紫外可见光谱性质，讨论了卟啉作为人工信号转导体系的传递介质，与氨基酸水杨醛席夫碱铜配合物的反应中，实现信号分子铜离子进一步传递的可能性以及溶剂对该信号传递的影响。结果表明，在三氯甲烷为溶剂时，除了Sal-Met的铜配合物之外，其余均能被TPP夺取而形成Metal TPP。而在以甲醇为溶剂时，只有Sal-Gly的铜配合物能被TPP所夺取。     

Physicochemical and structural properties of bacteriostatic sulfonamides: Theoretical study

A theoretical study at the Hartree–Fock and density functional theory levels is performed on sulfonamide‐type bacteriostatic compounds with the aim to provide an insight into their structure–activity relationship. The basicity of the p‐amino group is analyzed by means of the proton affinities and the protonation energies, showing that molecules presenting bacteriostatic activity are less basic, i.e., they are characterized by larger protonation energies and smaller proton affinities. The acidity of the amide group is analyzed through the deprotonation energy. The results reveal that the more acidic molecules present a larger bacteriostatic activity. This result is also confirmed from a study of bond orders. A bond order analysis of the amide group suggests that the electron attracting group in these molecules is responsible for the increase in acidity. The charge of the SO₂ group is also shown to be affected by the presence of the electron attracting group and consequently related to the acidity of the molecules. A geometric analysis shows that structures in which the amino group is more coplanar with respect to the benzenic ring possess larger bacteriostatic activity. A conformational analysis of these molecules illustrates that active molecules have relatively larger torsion energy barriers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Molecular Recognition of Nucleic Acid Bases in Water by Hydrogen Bonding of Poly(vinyldiaminotriazine)

Poly(2-vinyl-4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine) efficiently binds nucleic acid bases and nucleosides in water by using complementary hydrogen bonding. The binding activity decreases in the order: U, T > A C, G. The corresponding monomer shows virtually no activity, indicating a predominant role of polymer effect for the molecular recognition in water.     

A novel indicator series for measuring pKa values in acetonitrile

A series of substituted azobenzene dyes was found to span a range of 8 pK_a units in acetonitrile. The UV absorption spectra of the dyes are responsive to protonation, changing in both absorption maximum and intensity. These characteristics make the dyes useful as indicators for the measurement of pK_a values of neutral organic bases that absorb in the visible region of the spectrum.

The synthesis of dendrons with the end-capped 5-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthyl-1-ethynyl unit connected to conjugated naphthylethynyl or p-phenylethynyl chains, as the branches of the 1,3,5-substituted benzene core, have been undertaken by heterocoupling reaction between 1,3,5-triiodobenzene and the convenient end-capped 5-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthylacetylene or 5-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthylethynylphenylacetylene in the presence of the palladium-copper catalyst system, in excellent yields. The influence of the alternating naphthylethynyl-phenylethynyl chains on the fluorescence emission radiation, in the dendron structures, has been analyzed.
