The coordination of divalent and monovalent inorganic anions to synthetic polyammonium receptors is investigated in aqueous
solution around neutral pH by titration calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy. High-affinity 1:1 complexes are formed by a pyrrole
type cryptand (1) with sulfate and phosphate, characterized by association constants of almost 107 M-1. Affinities close to 105 M-1 are found for polyazacryptands (3 and 4) exhibiting F-/Cl- selectivity. The binding affinities and the anion selectivities are mainly caused by the charges of ligands and anions, which
is discussed on the basis of simple calculations of the electrostatic contribution to the anion/receptor interactions. The
binding of all investigated anions is exothermic at 298.2 K. The contribution of the large negative ΔH values to the free
energy of anion binding of the pyrrole type ligand is partially compensated by marked negative ΔS values. These unfavorable
entropic contributions are attributed to the additional inclusion of water molecules in the anion/receptor complexes.

The stable isotope content of samples of precipitation and of the river water throughout the Piracicaba basin in Brazil was measured over a two-year period. The isotope values of precipitation follow a consistent pattern of relatively depleted values of both deuterium and oxygen 18 during the rainy summers and enriched ones during the dry winters, with all values aligned slightly above the Global Meteoric Water Line. The isotopic composition of the river water throughout the basin shows a remarkable spatial coherence and much smaller scatter of data than those of the precipitation. The isotope composition of river water is close to that of the precipitation in the rainy season, however, with a consistent lower d-excess value by 1/1000-2/1000. This is attributed to evaporative water loss in the basin, in part an expression of the recycling of water due to the anthropogenic activity in the region. The more divergent values are recorded during high-water stages in the rivers. In many cases, the floods during the beginning of the rainy season are characterized by an enrichment of the heavy isotopes and lower d-excess values when compared to the precipitation, with the opposite situation later in the rainy season. This is interpreted as resulting from the watershed/riverflow interaction pattern, and it thus suggests that the isotope composition can monitor the hydrologic situation in the basin and its changes. 相似文献
An excellent hole-transport material,1,3-diphenyl-5-(9-phenanthryl)-2-pyrazoline(DPPhP)for OLEDs was studied.This compound not only offers hlgh glass transition temperature(Tg=96℃),good film forming ability,and high HOMO energy level,but also displays excellent hole-transport property.The electrlumlnescent device with a simple structure of ITO/DPPhP(60nm)/AIQ(60mm)/LiF(0.8nm)/Al shows an external quantom efficiency as high as 1.6? 相似文献
A rationally designed Pt(IV) anticancer compound is described, employing the novel concept of tethering an inhibitor of glutathione-S-transferase, an enzyme associated with Pt-based drug-resistance, to cisplatin. Its enzyme inhibition activity, investigated using spectrophotometric and mass spectrometry-based techniques, and cytotoxic profile in resistant cancer cells are described. 相似文献
The synthesis and in vitro anticancer activity of dihalogenido(eta6-p-cymene)(3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-alpha-D-glucofuranoside)ruthenium(II) complexes are described. The compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry, and the molecular structures of dichlorido-, dibromido- and diiodido(eta6-p-cymene)(3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranoside)ruthenium(II) were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The complexes were shown to undergo aquation of the first halido ligand in aqueous solution, followed by hydrolysis of a P--O bond of the phosphite ligand, and finally formation of dinuclear species. The hydrolysis mechanism was confirmed by DFT calculations. The aquation of the complexes was markedly suppressed in 100 mM NaCl solution, and notably only very slow hydrolysis of the P--O bond was observed. The complexes showed affinity towards albumin and transferrin and monoadduct formation with 9-ethylguanine. In vitro studies revealed that the 3,5,6-bicyclophosphite-1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranoside complex is the most cytotoxic compound in human cancer cell lines (IC50 values from 30 to 300 microM depending on the cell line). 相似文献
Double trouble : A hybrid organic–inorganic (organometallic) inhibitor was designed to target glutathione transferases. The metal center is used to direct protein binding, while the organic moiety acts as the active‐site inhibitor (see picture). The mechanism of inhibition was studied using a range of biophysical and biochemical methods.
