Synthesis and optical properties of aqueous soluble indolylfulgimides.

ABSTRACT: Three novel aqueous soluble fulgimides, trifluoromethyl carboxylic acid indolylfulgimide 4, dicarboxylic acid indolylfulgimide 5, and carboxylic acid indolylfulgimide 6, were synthesized. Both 4 and 5 can switch back and forth between open and closed forms upon illumination with specific wavelengths of light, whereas 6 can only switch from the closed form to the open form. In sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 degrees C, an unusual hydrolysis of the trifluoromethyl group of the closed form of 4 resulted in 5, which has an additional carboxylic acid group. The closed form of 5 was further decarboxylated to generate 6, which was not photochromic. In buffer, the open form of 4 degraded 20% after 10 days, while the closed form of 4 was converted to 5 rapidly. In buffer, both forms of 5 degraded less than 20% after 21 days at 37 degrees C, and 5 underwent 670 photochemical cycles before degrading by 20%. It is the most robust fulgimide yet reported in aqueous solution.

Synthesis and Anticancer Properties of Water-Soluble Zinc Ionophores 2

Project description:We have demonstrated that water-soluble zinc ionophores can be administered to mice at relatively high doses and inhibit the growth of A549 lung cancer cells grown in xenograft models. Gene expression profiles of tumor specimens harvested from mice four hours after treatment confirmed that the activation of stress responsive genes occurs in vivo. These findings lead us to propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Keywords: Dose response

Synthesis and Anticancer Properties of Water-Soluble Zinc Ionophores 1

Project description:We have shown that water solubilized versions of a zinc ionophore increase intracellular concentrations of free zinc and have antiproliferative activity in exponential phase A549 lung cancer cultures. The gene expression profiles of A549 lung cancer cultures treated with the lead compound PCI-5002 reveal the activation of stress response pathways. Medium supplementation with zinc (25 μM) led to activation of additional oxidative stress response as well as apoptotic pathways. We propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Keywords: Dose response

Structure and Optical Properties of Titania-PDMS Hybrid Nanocomposites Prepared by In Situ Non-Aqueous Synthesis.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid materials are attractive due to the combination of properties from the two distinct types of materials. In this work, transparent titania-polydimethylsiloxane hybrid materials with up to 15.5 vol. % TiO₂ content were prepared by an in situ non-aqueous method using titanium (IV) isopropoxide and hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane as precursors. Spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared, Raman, Ultraviolet-visible, ellipsometry) and small-angle X-ray scattering analysis allowed to describe in detail the structure and the optical properties of the nanocomposites. Titanium alkoxide was successfully used as a cross-linker and titania-like nanodomains with an average size of approximately 4 nm were shown to form during the process. The resulting hybrid nanocomposites exhibit high transparency and tunable refractive index from 1.42 up to 1.56, depending on the titania content.

1,6- and 1,7-Regioisomers of Highly Soluble Amino-Substituted Perylene Tetracarboxylic Dianhydrides: Synthesis, Optical and Electrochemical Properties.

Project description:1,6- and 1,7-regioisomers of diamino-substituted perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydrides (PTCDs) with different n-alkyl chain lengths (n = 6, 12 or 18) were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry. These dyes are highly soluble in most organic solvents and even in nonpolar solvents, such as hexane. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the 1,6-diamino-substituted PTCDs (2a-2c) have been obtained in pure form. The regioisomers 1a-1c (1,7-) and 2a-2c (1,6-) exhibit significant differences in their optical characteristics. In addition to the longest wavelength absorption band at around 674 nm, 2a-2c exhibit another shoulder band at ca. 600 nm, and consequently, cover a large part of the visible region relative to those of 1a-1c. Upon excitation, 2a-2c also show larger dipole moment changes than those of 1a-1c; the dipole moments of all compounds have been estimated using Lippert-Mataga equation. Moreover, all the dyes show a unique charge transfer emission in the near-infrared region, of which the peak wavelengths exhibit strong solvatochromism. They all exhibit one irreversible one-electron oxidation and two quasi-reversible one-electron reductions in dichloromethane at modest potentials. Complementary density functional theory calculations performed on these chromophores are reported in order to rationalize their electronic structure and optical properties.

Soluble Electrochromic Polymers Incorporating Benzoselenadiazole and Electron Donor Units (Carbazole or Fluorene): Synthesis and Electronic-Optical Properties.

Project description:A series of π-conjugated polymers containing alternating benzoselenadiazole (BSe)-bi(thiophene derivative)-carbazole or benzoththiadiazole (BSe)-bi(thiophene derivative)-fluorene units were designed and synthesized. Thiophene derivatives, namely 3-hexylthiophene, 3,4-bihexyloxythiophene, and 3,4-bioctyloxythiophene, were used as the π-bridges of the polymers. The polymers were characterized in detail in terms of their thermal stabilities, cyclic voltammograms, UV-Vis absorption, spectroelectrochemistry, dynamic switching property and so forth. The alkoxy thiophene π-bridged polymers have lower onset oxidation potentials and bandgaps than that of their corresponding alkyl thiophene π-bridged polymers. The selection of the donor units between the carbazole and the fluorene units has nearly no effect on the bandgaps and colors as well as the onset oxidation potentials of the polymers. The increase in the length of the side alkyl chains on the thiophene ring caused a slight increase in the polymer bandgap, which may be caused by the space hindrance effect. The dynamic switching abilities of the polymers were obtained by the chronoabsorptometry method, and the results also suggested that the alkoxy thiophene-containing polymers (as π-bridges) have higher contrast ratios than the corresponding alkyl thiophene-containing polymers. Furthermore, the increase in the length of the side alkyl chain might have a detrimental effect on the optical contrast ratios of the polymers.

Optical properties of DNA in aqueous solution.

Project description:In the study of DNA electric birefringence, it is usual to use theories that consider that molecules in solution are small in relation to the light wavelength. In this work, we study the DNA electric birefringence using a broken-rod macroion (BRM) model composed of two cylindrical arms which does not restrict the size of the molecules. To achieve this, we include the inhomogeneity effect of the light electric field through the molecule and the interaction between its different parts. To analyze the interaction between a molecule and the incident beam of light, we apply the discrete dipole approximation (DDA), according to which each molecule is described as a finite array of electronic coupled oscillators. The electric birefringence is calculated from the oscillator polarizability. This is obtained from experimental data of electric birefringence saturation and from the increment of the solution refraction index in relation to that of the solvent. Furthermore, the oscillator polarizability is also estimated from DNA absorption spectrum using the Kronig-Kramers relations. This allows us to analyze the contributions of the different absorption bands of DNA to the electric birefringence. We analyze the influence of the inhomogeneity of the light electric field and of the intramolecular interactions in the characterization of DNA optical properties using electric birefringence measurements.

Synthesis, Optical Properties and Cellular Toxicity of Water-Soluble near Infrared-II Fluorescent Assemblies Based on Pillar[5]arene.

Project description:The main challenges in second near-infrared region molecular fluorophores are poor water solubility and unknown long-term toxicity at present. Herein, new NIR-II molecular fluorophores have been designed and employed to integrate biocompatible pillar[5]arene with 10 outer triethylene oxide groups for the synthesis of rotaxane IRCR. In addition, PEGylated pillar[5]arenes have been combined for the self-assembly of two supramolecular vesicular systems, i.e., PP5-IR1 and PP5-IR2, affording aqueous solubility and lowered cellular toxicity. In aqueous solution, all these fluorophores displayed room-temperature emission with λmax at 986-1013 nm and quantum yields of 0.54-1.45%. They also exhibited good chemical stability and reasonable self-assembled sizes, which may find potential applications in NIR-II imaging. In addition, PP5-IR1 can be used as a fluorescent chemosensor for selective recognition of glutathione through the cleavage of dinitrophenyl ether and release the fluorescent dye.

Iridium-Based Nanohybrids: Synthesis, Characterization, Optical Limiting, and Nonlinear Optical Properties.

Project description:The present work reports on the synthesis and characterization of iridium (Ir)-based nanohybrids with variable chemical compositions. More specifically, highly stable polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanohybrids of the PVP-IrO2 and PVP-Ir/IrO2 types, as well as non-coated Ir/IrO2 nanoparticles, are synthesized using different synthetic protocols and characterized in terms of their chemical composition and morphology via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), respectively. Furthermore, their nonlinear optical (NLO) response and optical limiting (OL) efficiency are studied by means of the Z-scan technique, employing 4 ns laser pulses at 532 and 1064 nm. The results demonstrate that the PVP-Ir/IrO2 and Ir/IrO2 systems exhibit exceptional OL performance, while PVP-IrO2 presents very strong saturable absorption (SA) behavior, indicating that the present Ir-based nanohybrids could be strong competitors to other nanostructured materials for photonic and optoelectronic applications. In addition, the findings denote that the variation in the content of IrO2 nanoparticles by using different synthetic pathways significantly affects the NLO response of the studied Ir-based nanohybrids, suggesting that the choice of the appropriate synthetic method could lead to tailor-made NLO properties for specific applications in photonics and optoelectronics.
