Substituent effects on thermal decolorization rates of bisbenzospiropyrans.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] A novel application of photochromic molecules is to mimic physiological oscillatory calcium signals by reversibly binding and releasing calcium ions in response to light. Substituent changes on the largely unexplored photochromic bisbenzospiropyran scaffold led to significant changes in thermal fading rates in several organic solvents. Excellent correlations have been found between fading rates and empirical Hammett constants as well as calculated ground-state energies. These correlations can be used to improve scaffold design.

Quantifying Through-Space Substituent Effects.

Project description:The description of substituents as electron donating or withdrawing leads to a perceived dominance of through-bond influences. The situation is compounded by the challenge of separating through-bond and through-space contributions. Here, we probe the experimental significance of through-space substituent effects in molecular interactions and reaction kinetics. Conformational equilibrium constants were transposed onto the Hammett substituent constant scale revealing dominant through-space substituent effects that cannot be described in classic terms. For example, NO2 groups positioned over a biaryl bond exhibited similar influences as resonant electron donors. Meanwhile, the electro-enhancing influence of OMe/OH groups could be switched off or inverted by conformational twisting. 267 conformational equilibrium constants measured across eleven solvents were found to be better predictors of reaction kinetics than calculated electrostatic potentials, suggesting utility in other contexts and for benchmarking theoretical solvation models.

Substituent effects in C6F6-C6H5X stacking interactions.

Project description:Parallel displaced and sandwich configurations of hexafluorobenzene-substituted benzene dimers are studied by ab initio molecular orbital methods up to the MP2(full)/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory to reveal how substituents influence pi-pi interactions. Two minimum energy configurations are found, one with the substituent group away from the pi-face of the hexafluorobenzene ring (2a-f) and the other with the substituent group on top of the pi-face of the hexafluorobenzene (3a-f). Higher binding energies are predicted for dimers with the substituent on the pi-face (3a-f). All sandwich dimers (4a-e) are found to be saddle points on the potential energy surfaces. A parallel-displaced minimum energy configuration is also predicted for the parent complex, C6F6-C6H6, which is in contrast to predictions based on quadrupole moments of benzene and hexafuorobenzene. The preference for the parallel displaced, rather than the sandwich configuration, is rationalized based on the smaller interplanar distance in the former. The closeness of contact in the parallel-displaced dimers leads to greater binding energies. The shape of the electron density isosurface of the monomers is suggested to provide a guide for the prediction of how arenes stack with one another. A large difference in binding energy between the C6F6 complex of aniline (3e) and N,N-dimethylaniline (3f) is calculated, and charge-transfer interactions are suggested to play a role in the latter.

Tuning hydrogel properties and function using substituent effects.

Project description:The physical properties and function of hydrogels are shown to depend on the substituents present in three novel 1,3,5-tri-azaadamantane (TAA) cross-linkers. Gel stiffness and degradation rate at varied pHs could be predictably tuned with the cross-linker substituents used to form the gel. Subsequently, protein release from the hydrogel were controlled with chemical structure of the cross-linker.

Li substituent tuning of LED phosphors with enhanced efficiency, tunable photoluminescence, and improved thermal stability.

Project description:Solid-state phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (pc-WLEDs) are currently revolutionizing the lighting industry. To advance the technology, phosphors with high efficiency, tunable photoluminescence, and high thermal stability are required. Here, we demonstrate that a simple lithium incorporation in NaAlSiO4:Eu system enables the simultaneous fulfillment of the three criteria. The Li substitution at Al sites beside Na sites in NaAlSiO4:Eu leads to an enhanced emission intensity/efficiency owing to an effective Eu3+ to Eu2+ reduction, an emission color tuning from yellow to green by tuning the occupation of different Eu sites, and an improvement of luminescence thermal stability as a result of the interplay with Li-related defects. A pc-WLED using the Li-codoped NaAlSiO4:Eu as a green component exhibits improved performance. The phosphors with multiple activator sites can facilitate the positive synergistic effect on luminescence properties.

Substituent Effects on the [N-I-N](+) Halogen Bond.

Project description:We have investigated the influence of electron density on the three-center [N-I-N](+) halogen bond. A series of [bis(pyridine)iodine](+) and [1,2-bis((pyridine-2-ylethynyl)benzene)iodine](+) BF4(-) complexes substituted with electron withdrawing and donating functionalities in the para-position of their pyridine nitrogen were synthesized and studied by spectroscopic and computational methods. The systematic change of electron density of the pyridine nitrogens upon alteration of the para-substituent (NO2, CF3, H, F, Me, OMe, NMe2) was confirmed by (15)N NMR and by computation of the natural atomic population and the π electron population of the nitrogen atoms. Formation of the [N-I-N](+) halogen bond resulted in >100 ppm (15)N NMR coordination shifts. Substituent effects on the (15)N NMR chemical shift are governed by the π population rather than the total electron population at the nitrogens. Isotopic perturbation of equilibrium NMR studies along with computation on the DFT level indicate that all studied systems possess static, symmetric [N-I-N](+) halogen bonds, independent of their electron density. This was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction data of 4-substituted [bis(pyridine)iodine](+) complexes. An increased electron density of the halogen bond acceptor stabilizes the [N···I···N](+) bond, whereas electron deficiency reduces the stability of the complexes, as demonstrated by UV-kinetics and computation. In contrast, the N-I bond length is virtually unaffected by changes of the electron density. The understanding of electronic effects on the [N-X-N](+) halogen bond is expected to provide a useful handle for the modulation of the reactivity of [bis(pyridine)halogen](+)-type synthetic reagents.

QSAR analysis of substituent effects on tambjamine anion transporters.

Project description:The transmembrane anion transport activity of 43 synthetic molecules based on the structure of marine alkaloid tambjamine were assessed in model phospholipid (POPC) liposomes. The anionophoric activity of these molecules showed a parabolic dependence with lipophilicity, with an optimum range for transport efficiency. Using a quantitative structure-transport activity (QSAR) approach it was possible to rationalize these results and to quantify the contribution of lipophilicity to the transport activity of these derivatives. While the optimal value of log P and the curvature of the parabolic dependence is a property of the membrane (and so similar for the different series of substituents) we found that for relatively simple substituents in certain locations on the tambjamine core, hydrophobic interactions clearly dominate, but for others, more specific interactions are present that change the position of the membrane hydrophobicity parabolic envelope.

Effect of N-phenyl substituent on thermal, optical, electrochemical and luminescence properties of 3-aminophthalimide derivatives.

Project description:The seven N-phthalimide derivatives substituted with the amine group at the 3-C position in the phenylene ring were synthesized. The effect of N-substituent chemical structure was investigated. The thermal, electrochemical and optical studies were performed and supported by the density functional theory calculations (DFT). The electrochemical investigations of the synthesized low-molecular phthalimides revealed the one oxidation and reduction process with the HOMO energy level under - 5.81 eV and energy-band gap below 3 eV. The N-phthalimide derivatives were emitted light in a blue spectral region in solutions (in polar and non-polar) with the quantum yield between 2 and 68%, dependent on the substituent at the nitrogen atom, solvent and concentration. The N-phthalimide derivatives were emissive also in a solid state as a thin film and powder. They were tested as a component of the active layer with PVK:PBD matrix and as an independent active layer in the organic light-emitting diodes. The registered electroluminescence spectra exhibited the maximum emission band in the 469-505 nm range, confirming the possibility of using N-phthalimides with PVK:PBD matrix as the blue emitters.

Substituent Effects in the Surface-Initiated ATRP of Substituted Styrenes.

Project description:Surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of substituted styrenes leads to rapid synthesis of uniform and thick substituted polystyrene brushes (>100 nm in 1 hour) from gold surface. High growth rates were observed for styrenes substituted with electron withdrawing groups in meta/para positions. The effects seen in surface and solution polymerizations are similar for styrenes with electron withdrawing groups, and for electron donors in ortho and para positions. However, electron donors at meta sites have surprisingly fast growth rates, which may be due to steric inhibition of termination. The overall surface polymerization rates for substituted styrenes was analyzed and found to follow the Hammett relation with ? = 0.51. The ratio of kp to kt, is as an indicator of the likelihood that a reaction will reach high degrees of polymerization before termination.

Substituent effects on regioselectivity in the autoxidation of nonconjugated dienes.

Project description:Free radical oxidation of several 1,4-dienes was carried out in the presence of variable concentrations of alpha-tocopherol to investigate the effect of diene structure on product distribution. Oxidations carried out at low tocopherol concentration gave only C-1 and C-5 conjugated diene hydroperoxides, while higher concentrations of the antioxidant resulted in formation of substantial amounts of the nonconjugated C-3 diene hydroperoxide. Increasing size of the substituents at C-1 and C-5 of the diene favors kinetic products arising from oxygen addition at the nonconjugated position, C-3, of the pentadienyl radical intermediate. Substituents at C-1 or C-5 of the pentadienyl radical also have a significant effect on the regioselectivity of the conjugated diene hydroperoxides formed, larger substituents directing oxygen addition to the pentadienyl radical at the site of least steric hindrance. This trend is also observed in oxidations of omega-3 and omega-6 linolenate fatty acid esters. Groups at C-1 and C-5 of the diene can influence product distribution based upon (a) steric demand in the oxygen-radical reaction and (b) the influence of substituents on the rearrangement of the C-3 peroxyl radical to give conjugated diene products.

Substituent Effects on the Coordination Chemistry of Metal-Binding Pharmacophores.

Project description:A combination of XAS, UV-vis, NMR, and EPR was used to examine the binding of a series of α-hydroxythiones to CoCA. All three appear to bind preferentially in their neutral, protonated forms. Two of the three clearly bind in a monodentate fashion, through the thione sulfur alone. Thiomaltol (TM) appears to show some orientational preference, on the basis of the NMR, while it appears that thiopyromeconic acid (TPMA) retains rotational freedom. In contrast, allothiomaltol (ATM), after initially binding in its neutral form, presumably through the thione sulfur, forms a final complex that is five-coordinate via bidentate coordination of ATM. On the basis of optical titrations, we speculate that this may be due to the lower initial pKa of ATM (8.3) relative to those of TM (9.0) and TPMA (9.5). Binding through the thione is shown to reduce the hydroxyl pKa by ∼0.7 pH unit on metal binding, bringing only ATM's pKa close to the pH of the experiment, facilitating deprotonation and subsequent coordination of the hydroxyl. The data predict the presence of a solvent-exchangeable proton on TM and TPMA, and Q-band 2-pulse ESEEM experiments on CoCA + TM suggest that the proton is present. ESE-detected EPR also showed a surprising frequency dependence, giving only a subset of the expected resonances at X-band.
