Gas chromatographic quantitation of underivatized amines in the determination of their octanol-0.1 M sodium hydroxide partition coefficients by the shake-flask method

The elution behaviour of a selection of sequence variant and modified insulins has been compared on a C18 reversed-phase column. Observed elution times were compared with those expected from the nature of the differences from bovine insulin. In some cases prediction rules established for peptides are adequate to explain the observed elution and in others detailed knowledge of the structure of the protein is of considerable importance in understanding elution behaviour.     

Collisional cooling enhances the ability to observe non-covalent interactions within the inducible nitric oxide synthase oxygenase domain: Dimerization,complexation, and dissociation

The investigation of protein quaternary structure, protein-cofactor, and protein-ligand interactions by mass spectrometry is often limited by the fragility of such interactions under experimental conditions. To develop more gentle conditions of perhaps general use, we used as a model for study the oxygenase domain of murine inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which is homodimeric, binds heme and tetrahydrobiopterin H(4)B cofactors, and the substrate L-arginine. The energetics of the collisions in q2 and in the lens region of the mass spectrometer were manipulated for varying the degree of solvation around the non-covalently bound ions. Furthermore, the number of low-energy collisions in the collision cell of the instrument was varied, focusing and dampening the ion beam. Under gentle source collision conditions, and using multiple low-energy collisions in the collision cell of the mass spectrometer, dimers of the iNOS oxygenase domain containing heme, H(4)B, and arginine were observed intact after electrospraying at pH values near neutrality; a mutant of this protein (Trp188 --> Phe) was monomeric and did not bind cofactors. The pH dependence of the iNOS oxygenase domain under acidic conditions was also studied; while heme remained bound to the protein between pH 2.5 and 4.0, the dimeric structure was disrupted. Our findings confirm that non-covalently bound macromolecular complexes are retained and observable using electrospray mass spectrometry under the appropriate experimental conditions.     

Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric study of salt cluster ions. Part 1--investigations of alkali metal chloride and sodium salt cluster ions

Salt cluster ions of alkali metal chlorides ACl (A = Li(+), Na(+), K(+), Rb(+) and Cs(+)) and sodium salts NaB (B = I(-), HCOO(-), CH(3)COO(-), NO(2)(-), and NO(3)(-)), formed by electrospray ionization, were studied systematically by mass spectrometry. The influences on the total positive ion and negative ion currents of variation of solvent, solution concentration, desolvation temperature, solution flow-rate, capillary voltage and cone voltage were investigated. Only cone voltage was found to influence dramatically the distribution of salt cluster ions in the mass spectra observed. Under conditions of normal cone voltage of approximately 70 V, cluster ions having magic numbers of molecules are detected with high relative signal intensity. Under conditions of low cone voltage of approximately 10 V, the distribution of cluster ions detected is characterized by a relatively low average mass/charge ratio due to the presence of multiply charged cluster ions; in addition, there is a marked reduction in cluster ions having a magic number of molecules. Product ion mass spectra obtained by tandem mass spectrometry of cluster ions are characterized by a base peak having a magic number of molecules that is less than and closest to the number of molecules in the precursor ion. Structures have been proposed for some dications and some quadruply charged ions. At pH 3 and 11, the mass spectra of NaCl clusters show the presence of mixed clusters of NaCl with HCl and NaOH, respectively. The effects of ionic radius on 20 distributions of cluster ions for 10 salts were investigated; however, the fine structure of these effects is not readily discerned.     

Towards Single-component Molecular Conductor [Ni(dmit)_2] by Charge Disproportionation:2[Ni(dmit)_2]~(-0.5)[Ni(dmit)_2]+[Ni(dmit)_2]~-

It was commonly thought that a molecular conductor or semiconductor should be composed of at least two components to make the conducting component in partially charged state. However, this idea became questionable by the recent report of the single-component molecular conductor [Ni(tmdt)2]1 as well as several reports about single-component molecular semiconductors such as [Ni(ptdt)2]2 and [Ni(C10H10S8)2]3. In fact, as early as 1985, [Ni(dmit)2] as a by-product in synthesizing TTF[Ni(dmit…     

In Situ Fabrication of ZnS Semiconductor Nanoparticles in Layered Organic-inorganic Solid Template

Ordered ZnS semiconductor nanoparticles were in situ synthesized in metal halide perovskite organic/inorganic layered hybrids (CnH2n 1NH3)2ZnCl4 (n=10 and 12) by reaction of their spin-casting films with H2S gas. Transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray diffraction were used to characterize the morphology and the structure of formed nanoparticles. Obtained results indicate an effective way to incorporate functional inorganic nanoparticles into structured organic matrices.     

The synthesis of annulated pyridazines by cycloaddition of azodicarboxylates to vinyl heterocycles

Reaction between 2-vinyl pyridine and azodicarboxylates 2 or 5 gives N,N'-disubstituted tetrahydropyrido[3,2-c]pyridazines 3 and 6, and dihydro-3H-pyrido[1,2-c]triazines 4 and 7; 2-(prop-1-en-1-yl)-pyridine 8 gives hydropyridopyridazines 10 and 11 but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)pyridine 9 gives mainly the ‘ene’ addition product 12. From 4-vinyl-pyridine and esters 2 or 5 diesters of tetrahydropyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, 25 and 26 are obtained, and from 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine both possible cyclisation products, the tetrahydro-pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazines 33 and 36, and -pyrido[4,3-c]pyridazines 34 and 37. The di-t-butyl esters 6, 11, 26, and 37 are quantitatively decarbalkoxylated in TFA, giving tetrahydropyridopyridazines 16, 18, 27, and 41; of these, the first three were oxidized to give pyrido[2,3-c]-pyridazine 15, its 3-methyl derivative 19, and pyrido[3,4-c]pyridazine 28 respectively. A dihydropyrido[4,3-c]-pyridazine 42 was obtained from compound 41. Thieno[2,3-c]-pyridazine 48 has been similarly prepared from 2-vinylthiophen, but 2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)thiophen gave an ene addition compound 51 and a dihydrothienopyridazine 50. Reactions with other vinylpyridines, and with vinylfurans, were unsuccessful.     

First row divalent transition metal complexes of aryl-appended tris((pyridyl)methyl)amine ligands: syntheses, structures, electrochemistry, and hydroxamate binding properties

Divalent manganese, cobalt, nickel, and zinc complexes of 6-Ph(2)TPA (N,N-bis((6-phenyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)-N-((2-pyridyl)methyl)amine; [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Mn(CH(3)OH)(3)](ClO(4))(2) (1), [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Co(CH(3)CN)](ClO(4))(2) (2), [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Ni(CH(3)CN)(CH(3)OH)](ClO(4))(2) (3), [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Zn(CH(3)CN)](ClO(4))(2) (4)) and 6-(Me(2)Ph)(2)TPA (N,N-bis((6-(3,5-dimethyl)phenyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)-N-((2-pyridyl)methyl)amine; [(6-(Me(2)Ph)(2)TPA)Ni(CH(3)CN)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (5) and [(6-(Me(2)Ph)(2)TPA)Zn(CH(3)CN)](ClO(4))(2) (6)) have been prepared and characterized. X-ray crystallographic characterization of 1A.CH(3)()OH and 1B.2CH(3)()OH (differing solvates of 1), 2.2CH(3)()CN, 3.CH(3)()OH, 4.2CH(3)()CN, and 6.2.5CH(3)()CN revealed mononuclear cations with one to three coordinated solvent molecules. In 1A.CH(3)()OH and 1B.2CH(3)()OH, one phenyl-substituted pyridyl arm is not coordinated and forms a secondary hydrogen-bonding interaction with a manganese bound methanol molecule. In 2.2CH(3)()CN, 3.CH(3)()OH, 4.2CH(3)()CN, and 6.2.5CH(3)()CN, all pyridyl donors of the 6-Ph(2)TPA and 6-(Me(2)Ph)(2)TPA ligands are coordinated to the divalent metal center. In the cobalt, nickel, and zinc derivatives, CH/pi interactions are found between a bound acetonitrile molecule and the aryl appendages of the 6-Ph(2)TPA and 6-(Me(2)Ph)(2)TPA ligands. (1)H NMR spectra of 4 and 6 in CD(3)NO(2) solution indicate the presence of CH/pi interactions, as an upfield-shifted methyl resonance for a bound acetonitrile molecule is present. Examination of the cyclic voltammetry of 1-3 and 5 revealed no oxidative (M(II)/M(III)) couples. Admixture of equimolar amounts of 6-Ph(2)TPA, M(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O, and Me(4)NOH.5H(2)O, followed by the addition of an equimolar amount of acetohydroxamic acid, yielded the acetohydroxamate complexes [((6-Ph(2)TPA)Mn)(2)(micro-ONHC(O)CH(3))(2)](ClO(4))(2) (8), [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Co(ONHC(O)CH(3))](ClO(4))(2) (9), [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Ni(ONHC(O)CH(3))](ClO(4))(2) (10), and [(6-Ph(2)TPA)Zn(ONHC(O)CH(3))](ClO(4))(2) (11), all of which were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Mn(II) complex 8.0.75CH(3)()CN.0.75Et(2)()O exhibits a dinuclear structure with bridging hydroxamate ligands, whereas the Co(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) derivatives all exhibit mononuclear six-coordinate structures with a chelating hydroxamate ligand.     

Role of polythiophenes as electroactive materials

Semiconducting polythiophenes display electroactive properties which make them excellent candidates for applications as electroactive materials. Ability to undergo doping and to switch between different oxidation states allow tuning the chemical and physical properties of polythiophenes. Furthermore, the ability to integrate polythiophenes into copolymers, hybrid composites with metals and inorganic materials make them useful in electronic and biomedical applications. The capability to vary the properties of the final material with low production cost and high processability into thin films makes polythiophenes desirable materials for many applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
