Isotope-induced desymmetrization can mimic isotopic perturbation of equilibria. On the symmetry of bromonium ions and hydrogen bonds.

ABSTRACT: The desymmetrizing effect of isotopic substitution on the geometry of otherwise symmetrical structures can be surprisingly large when there is anharmonic coupling between a desymmetrizing mode and modes whose zero-point energies are strongly isotope-dependent. This phenomenon is found to account for experimental observations that had been previously interpreted as implying asymmetry in bromonium ions and in hydrogen phthalate ions in aprotic solvents. The unlabeled structures are concluded to have the higher symmetry found in computed structures. Great care must be taken in applying isotopic perturbation as a test of asymmetry.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Stereoretentive Hydrogen Isotope Exchange of C(sp3)-H Bonds.

Project description:Cobalt dialkyl complexes bearing ?-diimine ligands proved to be active precatalysts for the nondirected, C(sp3)-H selective hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) of alkylarenes using D2 gas as the deuterium source. Alkylarenes with a variety of substitution patterns and heteroatom substituents on the arene ring were successfully labeled, enabling high levels of incorporation into primary, secondary, and tertiary benzylic C(sp3)-H bonds. In some cases, the HIE proceeded with high diastereoselectivity and application of the cobalt-catalyzed method to enantioenriched substrates with benzylic stereocenters provided enantioretentive hydrogen isotope exchange at tertiary carbons.

Perturbation of Short Hydrogen Bonds in Photoactive Yellow Protein via Noncanonical Amino Acid Incorporation.

Project description:Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a small photoreceptor protein that has two unusually short hydrogen bonds between the deprotonated p-coumaric acid chromophore and two amino acids, a tyrosine and a glutamic acid. This has led to considerable debate as to whether the glutamic acid-chromophore hydrogen bond is a low barrier hydrogen bond, with conflicting results in the literature. We have modified the p Ka of the tyrosine by amber suppression and of the chromophore by chemical substitution. X-ray crystal structures of these modified proteins are nearly identical to the wild-type protein, so the heavy atom distance between proton donor and acceptor is maintained, even though these modifications change the relative proton affinity between donor and acceptor. Despite a considerable change in relative proton affinity, the NMR chemical shifts of the hydrogen-bonded protons are only moderately affected. QM/MM calculations were used to explore the protons' potential energy surface and connect the calculated proton position with empirically measured proton chemical shifts. The results are inconsistent with a low barrier hydrogen bond but in all cases are consistent with a localized proton, suggesting an ionic hydrogen bond rather than a low barrier hydrogen bond.

The Influence of Deuterium Isotope Effects on Structural Rearrangements, Ensemble Equilibria, and Hydrogen Bonding in Protic Ionic Liquids.

Project description:We report strong isotope effects for the protic ionic liquid triethylammonium methanesulfonate [TEA][OMs] by means of deuterium solid-state NMR spectroscopy covering broad temperature ranges from 65 K to 313 K. Both isotopically labelled PILs differ in non-deuterated and fully deuterated ethyl groups of the triethyl ammonium cations. The N-D bond of both cations is used as sensitive probe for hydrogen bonding and structural ordering. The 2 H NMR line shape analysis provides the deuteron quadrupole coupling constants and the characteristics of a broad heterogeneous phase with simultaneously present static and mobile states indicating plastic crystal behavior. The temperatures where both states are equally populated differ by about 80 K for the two PILs, showing that deuteration of the ethyl groups in the trialkylammonium cations tremendously shifts the equilibrium towards the static state. In addition, it leads to a significant less cooperative transition, associated with a significantly reduced standard molar transition entropy.

Fortuitous Ion-Molecule Reaction Enables Enumeration of Metal-Hydrogen Bonds Present in Gaseous Ions.

Project description:Upon mass selection and ion activation under mass spectrometric conditions, gaseous formate adducts of many metal formates undergo decarboxylation and form product ions that bear metal-hydrogen bonds. Fortuitously, we noted that negative-ion spectra of several such formate adducts showed many peaks that could not be rationalized by the conventional fragmentation pathways attributed to the precursor ion. Subsequent experimentation proved that these enigmatic peaks are due to an ion-molecule reaction that takes place between traces of adventitious water vapor in the collision gas and the in situ formed product anions bearing metal-hydrogen bonds, generated by the fragmentation of the formate adducts. Results show that metal-hydrogen bonds of the group 2 elements are particularly susceptible to this reaction. For example, in the product-ion spectrum of [Sr(η2-O2CH)3]-, the peak at m/z 91 for SrH3 - was accompanied by three peaks at higher m/z ratios. These peaks, at m/z 107, 123, and 139, represented SrH2(OH)1 -, SrH1(OH)2 -, and Sr(OH)3 -, respectively. These satellite peaks, which were separated by 16 m/z units, were attributed to adducts formed due to the high affinity of gas-phase anions bearing metal-hydrogen bonds to water. Although undesired, these peaks are diagnostically useful to determine the number of metal-hydrogen bonds present in a precursor ion. Even though the peaks were less pronounced, analogous reactions were noted from the adducts of the group 1 elements as well. Moreover, Gibbs free energy values computed for the interaction of [H-Mg(η2-O2CH)2]- with water to form [HO-Mg(η2-OCOH)2]- and H2 indicated that this is an exergonic reaction.

Osmolyte perturbation reveals conformational equilibria in spin-labeled proteins.

Project description:Recent evidence suggests that proteins at equilibrium can exist in a manifold of conformational substates, and that these substates play important roles in protein function. Therefore, there is great interest in identifying regions in proteins that are in conformational exchange. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of spin-labeled proteins containing the nitroxide side chain (R1) often consist of two (or more) components that may arise from slow exchange between conformational substates (lifetimes > 100 ns). However, crystal structures of proteins containing R1 have shown that multicomponent spectra can also arise from equilibria between rotamers of the side chain itself. In this report, it is shown that these scenarios can be distinguished by the response of the system to solvent perturbation with stabilizing osmolytes such as sucrose. Thus, site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) emerges as a new tool to explore slow conformational exchange in proteins of arbitrary size, including membrane proteins in a native-like environment. Moreover, equilibrium between substates with even modest differences in conformation is revealed, and the simplicity of the method makes it suitable for facile screening of multiple proteins. Together with previously developed strategies for monitoring picosecond to millisecond backbone dynamics, the results presented here expand the timescale over which SDSL can be used to explore protein flexibility.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonds in Normal and Sterically Compressed o-Hydroxy Aromatic Aldehydes. Isotope Effects on Chemical Shifts and Hydrogen Bond Strength.

Project description:A number of o-hydroxy aromatic aldehydes have been synthesized to illustrate the effect of steric compression and O···O distances on the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the hydrogen bond energies. Hydrogen bond energies have been calculated using the 'hb and out' method using either the MP2 method or the B3LYP functional with the basis set 6-311++G(d,p). However, several compounds cannot be treated this way. Hydrogen bond energies are also determined using electron densities at bond critical points and these results are in good agreement with the results of the 'hb and out' model. Two-bond deuterium isotope effects on 13C chemical shifts are suggested as an experimental way to obtain information on hydrogen bond energies as they easily can be measured. Isotope effects on aldehyde proton chemical shifts have also been measured. The former show very good correlation with the hydrogen bond energies and the latter are related to short O···O distances. Short O···O distances can be obtained as the result of short C=C bond lengths, conjugative effects, and steric compression of the aldehyde group. Short O···O distances are in general related to high hydrogen bond energies in these intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded systems of resonance assisted hydrogen bond (RAHB) type.

Footprinting SHAPE-eCLIP reveals transcriptome-wide hydrogen bonds at RNA-protein interfaces

Project description:Discovering the interaction mechanism and location of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) on RNA is critical for understanding gene expression regulation. Here, we apply selective 2’-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) on in vivo transcripts to identify transcriptome-wide footprints (fSHAPE) on RNA when compared to protein-absent transcripts. Structural analyses indicate that fSHAPE precisely detects nucleotides whose base moieties hydrogen bond with protein and that fSHAPE patterns can predict binding sites of RBPs of interest. To illustrate, we demonstrate that fSHAPE correctly identifies known and novel iron response protein RNA elements. Furthermore, we enable selective interrogation of RNA-protein complexes by integrating SHAPE and fSHAPE with crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (eCLIP) of desired RBPs. To demonstrate, histone stem loop elements and their nucleotides that hydrogen bond with stem-loop binding protein were identified by SHAPE-eCLIP and fSHAPE-eCLIP. Together, these technologies greatly expand on strategies for understanding specific cellular RNA interactions in RNA-protein complexes.

Symmetry of three-center, four-electron bonds.

Project description:Three-center, four-electron bonds provide unusually strong interactions; however, their nature remains ununderstood. Investigations of the strength, symmetry and the covalent versus electrostatic character of three-center hydrogen bonds have vastly contributed to the understanding of chemical bonding, whereas the assessments of the analogous three-center halogen, chalcogen, tetrel and metallic [small sigma, Greek, circumflex]-type long bonding are still lagging behind. Herein, we disclose the X-ray crystallographic, NMR spectroscopic and computational investigation of three-center, four-electron [D-X-D]+ bonding for a variety of cations (X+ = H+, Li+, Na+, F+, Cl+, Br+, I+, Ag+ and Au+) using a benchmark bidentate model system. Formation of a three-center bond, [D-X-D]+ is accompanied by an at least 30% shortening of the D-X bonds. We introduce a numerical index that correlates symmetry to the ionic size and the electron affinity of the central cation, X+. Providing an improved understanding of the fundamental factors determining bond symmetry on a comprehensive level is expected to facilitate future developments and applications of secondary bonding and hypervalent chemistry.

Rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective silylation of arene C-H bonds: desymmetrization of diarylmethanols.

Project description:We report a Rh-catalyzed, enantioselective silylation of arene C-H bonds directed by a (hydrido)silyl group. (Hydrido)silyl ethers that are formed in situ by hydrosilylation of benzophenone or its derivatives undergo asymmetric C-H silylation in high yield with excellent enantioselectivity in the presence of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 and a chiral bisphosphine ligand. The stereoselectivity of this process also allows enantioenriched diarylmethanols to react with site selectivity at one aryl group over the other. Enantioenriched benzoxasiloles from the silylation process undergo a range of transformations to form C-C, C-O, C-I, or C-Br bonds.

Nature of Alkali- and Coinage-Metal Bonds versus Hydrogen Bonds.

Project description:We have quantum chemically studied the structure and nature of alkali- and coinage-metal bonds (M-bonds) versus that of hydrogen bonds between A-M and B- in archetypal [A-M⋅⋅⋅B]- model systems (A, B=F, Cl and M=H, Li, Na, Cu, Ag, Au), using relativistic density functional theory at ZORA-BP86-D3/TZ2P. We find that coinage-metal bonds are stronger than alkali-metal bonds which are stronger than the corresponding hydrogen bonds. Our main purpose is to understand how and why the structure, stability and nature of such bonds are affected if the monovalent central atom H of hydrogen bonds is replaced by an isoelectronic alkali- or coinage-metal atom. To this end, we have analyzed the bonds between A-M and B- using the activation strain model, quantitative Kohn-Sham molecular orbital (MO) theory, energy decomposition analysis (EDA), and Voronoi deformation density (VDD) analysis of the charge distribution.
