Isomer stability of N6C6H6 cages.

ABSTRACT: Recent theoretical studies have identified carbon-nitrogen cages that are potentially stable high energy density materials (HEDM). One such molecule is an N(6)C(6)H(6) cage in which a six-membered ring of nitrogen is bonded to C(3)H(3) triangles on both sides. This molecule is based on the structure of the most stable N(12) cage, with six carbon atoms substituted into the structure. In the current study, several N(6)C(6)H(6) isomers (including the previously studied cage) are examined by theoretical calculations to determine which is actually the most stable. Stability will be evaluated from two points of view: (1) thermodynamic stability of one isomer versus another and (2) kinetic stability of each isomer as determined by the energetics of bond breaking. Density functional theory (B3LYP), perturbation theory (MP2 and MP4), and coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T)) are used in this study, along with the correlation-consistent basis sets of Dunning. Trends in thermodynamic and kinetic stability are discussed.

Stability of carbon-nitrogen cages in fourfold symmetry.

Project description:Molecules consisting entirely of nitrogen have been studied extensively for their potential as high-energy density materials (HEDM). Many nitrogen molecules previously studied have low-energy dissociation routes and are therefore too unstable to serve as practical HEDM. However, the incorporation of heteroatoms into a nitrogen structure can have stabilizing effects. Theoretical calculations are carried out on a sequence of high-energy cages with carbon and nitrogen. Density functional theory (B3LYP), perturbation theory (MP2 and MP4), and coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T)) are used in conjunction with the correlation-consistent basis sets of Dunning. Stability trends as a function of molecule size are calculated and discussed.

Transformation of Imine Cages into Hydrocarbon Cages.

Project description:In contrast to organic cages which are formed by exploiting dynamic covalent chemistry, such as boronic ester cages, imine cages, or disulfide cages, those with a fully carbonaceous backbone are rarer. With the exception of alkyne metathesis based approaches, the vast majority of hydrocarbon cages need to be synthesized by kinetically controlled bond formation. This strategy implies a multiple step synthesis and no correction mechanism in the final macrocyclization step, both of which are responsible for low overall yields. Whereas for smaller cages the intrinsic drawbacks are not always obvious, larger cages are seldom synthesized in yields beyond a few tenths of a percent. Presented herein is a three-step method to convert imine cages into hydrocarbon cages. The method has been successfully applied to even larger structures such as derivatives of C72 H72 , an unknown cage suggested by Fritz Vögtle more than 20 years ago.

Monte Carlo simulations of proteins in cages: influence of confinement on the stability of intermediate states.

Project description:We study the folding of small proteins inside confining potentials. Proteins are described using an effective potential model that contains the Ramachandran angles as degrees of freedom and does not need any a priori information about the native state. Hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole-, and hydrophobic interactions are taken explicitly into account. An interesting feature displayed by this potential is the presence of metastable intermediates between the unfolded and native states. We consider different types of confining potentials to describe proteins folding inside cages with repulsive or attractive walls. Using the Wang-Landau algorithm, we determine the density of states and analyze in detail the thermodynamical properties of the confined proteins for different sizes of the cages. We show that confinement dramatically reduces the phase space available to the protein and that the presence of intermediate states can be controlled by varying the properties of the confining potential. Cages with strongly attractive walls destabilize the intermediate states and lead to a two-state folding into a configuration that is less stable than the native structure. However, cages with slightly attractive walls enhance the stability of native structure and induce a folding process, which occurs through intermediate configurations.

Self-assembled conjoined-cages.

Project description:A self-assembled coordination cage usually possesses one well-defined three-dimensional (3D) cavity whereas infinite number of 3D-cavities are crafted in a designer metal-organic framework. Construction of a discrete coordination cage possessing multiple number of 3D-cavities is a challenging task. Here we report the peripheral decoration of a trinuclear [Pd3L6] core with one, two and three units of a [Pd2L4] entity for the preparation of multi-3D-cavity conjoined-cages of [Pd4(La)2(Lb)4], [Pd5(Lb)4(Lc)2] and [Pd6(Lc)6] formulations, respectively. Formation of the tetranuclear and pentanuclear complexes is attributed to the favorable integrative self-sorting of the participating components. Cage-fusion reactions and ligand-displacement-induced cage-to-cage transformation reactions are carried out using appropriately chosen ligand components and cages prepared in this work. The smaller [Pd2L4] cavity selectively binds one unit of NO3-, F-, Cl- or Br- while the larger [Pd3L6] cavity accommodates up to four DMSO molecules. Designing aspects of our conjoined-cages possess enough potential to inspire construction of exotic molecular architectures.

Hydroxynaphthoic acid isomer sorption onto goethite.

Project description:This study used batch and attenuated total reflectance-Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) flow-through techniques, along with computational chemistry, to probe the sorption of hydroxynaphthoic acid (HNA) isomers at the goethite-water interface. The HNA isomers employed in this study, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid, possessed an intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) between their carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which resulted in coupled vibrational modes. Complimentary information from batch and ATR-FTIR studies suggested surface complexation via a bidentate structure, involving both the carboxylate and phenolate groups, as the dominant mode of sorption. A secondary HNA surfaces species noted only at pH 4 appeared to sorb via the carboxylate group, with the phenolic group involved in IHB or H-bonded to the solvent or surface hydroxyl groups. Despite the lack of unique vibrational modes for the key functional groups our experimental approach was successful in proposing interfacial structures, while acknowledging the limitations with respect to differentiating mono- vs. binuclear complexes. Finally, the spectral similarity of HNA sorbed onto goethite and onto the clay fraction of an iron oxide-rich soil suggested analogous solute interaction in pure phase minerals and soils.

Free-Radical-Mediated Glycan Isomer Differentiation.

Project description:The inherent structural complexity and diversity of glycans pose a major analytical challenge to their structural analysis. Radical chemistry has gained considerable momentum in the field of mass spectrometric biomolecule analysis, including proteomics, glycomics, and lipidomics. Herein, seven isomeric disaccharides and two isomeric tetrasaccharides with subtle structural differences are distinguished rapidly and accurately via one-step radical-induced dissociation. The free-radical-activated glycan-sequencing reagent (FRAGS) selectively conjugates to the unique reducing terminus of glycans in which a localized nascent free radical is generated upon collisional activation and simultaneously induces glycan fragmentation. Higher-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) are employed to provide complementary structural information for the identification and discrimination of glycan isomers by providing different fragmentation pathways to generate informative, structurally significant product ions. Furthermore, multiple-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MS3 CID) provides supplementary and valuable structural information through the generation of characteristic parent-structure-dependent fragment ions.

Anion identification using silsesquioxane cages.

Project description:Anthracene-conjugated octameric silsesquioxane (AnSQ) cages, prepared via Heck coupling between octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS) and 9-bromoanthracene, thermodynamically display intramolecular excimer emissions. More importantly, these hosts are sensitive to each anionic guest, thereby resulting in change of anthracene excimer formation, displaying the solvent-dependent fluorescence and allowing us to distinguish up to four ions such as F-, OH-, CN- and PO4 3- by fluorescence spectroscopy. Depending on the solvent polarity, for example, both F- and CN- quenched the fluorescence emission intensity in THF, but only F- could enhance the fluorescence in all other solvents. The presence of PO4 3- results in fluorescence enhancements in high polarity solvents such as DMSO, DMF, and acetone, while OH- induces enhancements only in low polarity solvents (e.g. DCM and toluene). A picture of the anion recognizing ability of AnSQ was obtained through principal component analysis (PCA) with NMR and FTIR confirming the presence of host-guest interactions. Computational modeling studies demonstrate the conformation of host-guest complexation and also the change of excimer formation. Detection of F-, CN- and OH- by AnSQ hosts in THF is noticeable with the naked eye, as indicated by strong color changes arising from charge transfer complex formation upon anion addition.

Evidence of hollow golden cages.

Project description:The fullerenes are the first "free-standing" elemental hollow cages identified by spectroscopy experiments and synthesized in the bulk. Here, we report experimental and theoretical evidence of hollow cages consisting of pure metal atoms, Au(n)(-) (n = 16-18); to our knowledge, free-standing metal hollow cages have not been previously detected in the laboratory. These hollow golden cages ("bucky gold") have an average diameter >5.5 A, which can easily accommodate one guest atom inside.

Disappeared supramolecular isomer reappears with perylene guest.

Project description:Among different types of polymorphism, disappearing polymorphism deals with the metastable kinetic form which can not be reproduced after its first isolation. In the world of coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), despite the fact that many types of supramolecular isomerism exist, we are unaware of disappearing supramolecular isomerism akin to disappearing polymorphism. This work reports a MOF with dia topology that could not be reproduced, but subsequent synthesis yielded another supramolecular isomer, a double-pillared-layer MOF. When perylene was added in the same reaction, the disappeared dia MOF reappeared with perylene as a guest in the channels. Interestingly, the photoluminescence of the dia MOF with a perylene guest is dominated by the emission of the guest molecule. The influence of guest molecules on the stabilization of the supramolecular isomers of a MOF opens up a strategy to access MOFs with different structures.
