Controlling the ratio of 2,2'-bpy to benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid produces two interesting complexes, namely [Co(2,2'-bpy)₃]·(SO₄)·8.5H₂O (1) and [Cu₂(BTCA) (2,2'-bpy)₄] (OH)·(2,2'-bpy)₀.₅·14H₂O (2) (H₃BTCA = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, 2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). We report the structural evidence in the solid state of discrete lamellar water cluster conformations. These units are found to act as supramolecular glue in the aggregation of cobalt (II) or copper (II) complexes to give th ...[more]

Project description:The influence of formic acid on water cluster aggregation has been investigated experimentally by mass spectrometry and tunable UV laser ionization applied to Na-doped clusters formed in the supersonic expansion of water vapors seeded with formic acid (FA) as well as theoretically using high level quantum chemistry methods. The mass spectra of Na-FA(H2 O)n clusters show an enlarging of mass distribution toward heavier clusters with respect to the Na-(H2 O)n clusters, suggesting similar mass distribution in neutral clusters and an influence of formic acid in water aggregation. Density functional theory and coupled-cluster type (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) calculations have been used to calculate structures and energetics of neutral and ionized Na-FA(H2 O)n as well as neutral FA(H2 O)n . Na-doped clusters are characterized by very stable geometries. The theoretical adiabatic ionization potential values match pretty well the measured appearance energies and the calculated first six electronic excited states show Rydberg-type characters, indicating possible autoionization contributions in the mass spectra. Finally, theoretical calculations on neutral FA(H2 O)n clusters show the possibility of similarly stable structures in small clusters containing up to n=4-5 water molecules, where FA interacts significantly with waters. This suggests that FA can compete with water molecules in the starting stage of the aggregation process, by forming stable nucleation seed.

Project description:Exploration of metal clusters (MCs) adaptive to both aqueous and oil phases without disturbing their size is promising for a broad scope of applications. The state-of-the-art approach via ligand-binding may perturb MCs' size due to varied metal-ligand binding strength when shuttling between solvents of different polarity. Herein, we applied physical confinement of a series of small noble MCs (<1 nm) inside ionic organic cages (I-Cages), which by means of anion exchange enables reversible transfer of MCs between aqueous and hydrophobic solutions without varying their ultrasmall size. Moreover, the MCs@I-Cage hybrid serves as a recyclable, reaction-switchable catalyst featuring high activity in liquid-phase NH3BH3 (AB) hydrolysis reaction with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 115 min-1.

Project description:This work systematically examines the interactions between a single argon atom and the edges and faces of cyclic H2O clusters containing three-five water molecules (Ar(H2O)n=3-5). Full geometry optimizations and subsequent harmonic vibrational frequency computations were performed using MP2 with a triple-ζ correlation consistent basis set augmented with diffuse functions on the heavy atoms (cc-pVTZ for H and aug-cc-pVTZ for O and Ar; denoted as haTZ). Optimized structures and harmonic vibrational frequencies were also obtained with the two-body-many-body (2b:Mb) and three-body-many-body (3b:Mb) techniques; here, high-level CCSD(T) computations capture up through the two-body or three-body contributions from the many-body expansion, respectively, while less demanding MP2 computations recover all higher-order contributions. Five unique stationary points have been identified in which Ar binds to the cyclic water trimer, along with four for (H2O)4 and three for (H2O)5. To the best of our knowledge, eleven of these twelve structures have been characterized here for the first time. Ar consistently binds more strongly to the faces than the edges of the cyclic (H2O)n clusters, by as much as a factor of two. The 3b:Mb electronic energies computed with the haTZ basis set indicate that Ar binds to the faces of the water clusters by at least 3 kJ mol-1 and by nearly 6 kJ mol-1 for one Ar(H2O)5 complex. An analysis of the interaction energies for the different binding motifs based on symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) indicates that dispersion interactions are primarily responsible for the observed trends. The binding of a single Ar atom to a face of these cyclic water clusters can induce perturbations to the harmonic vibrational frequencies on the order of 5 cm-1 for some hydrogen-bonded OH stretching frequencies.

Project description:The reversible condensation of catechols and boronic acids to boronate esters is a paradigm reaction in dynamic covalent chemistry. However, facile backward hydrolysis is detrimental for stability and has so far prevented applications for boronate-based materials. Here, we introduce cubic boronate ester cages 6 derived from hexahydroxy tribenzotriquinacenes and phenylene diboronic acids with ortho-t-butyl substituents. Due to steric shielding, dynamic exchange at the Lewis acidic boron sites is feasible only under acid or base catalysis but fully prevented at neutral conditions. For the first time, boronate ester cages 6 tolerate substantial amounts of water or alcohols both in solution and solid state. The unprecedented applicability of these materials under ambient and aqueous conditions is showcased by efficient encapsulation and on-demand release of β-carotene dyes and heterogeneous water oxidation catalysis after the encapsulation of ruthenium catalysts.

Project description:The structural characterization of subtilisin mesoscale clusters, which were previously shown to induce supramolecular order in biocatalytic self-assembly of Fmoc-dipeptides, was carried out by synchrotron small-angle X-ray, dynamic, and static light scattering measurements. Subtilisin molecules self-assemble to form supramolecular structures in phosphate buffer solutions. Structural arrangement of subtilisin clusters at 55 °C was found to vary systematically with increasing enzyme concentration. Static light scattering measurements showed the cluster structure to be consistent with a fractal-like arrangement, with fractal dimension varying from 1.8 to 2.6 with increasing concentration for low to moderate enzyme concentrations. This was followed by a structural transition around the enzyme concentration of 0.5 mg mL(-1) to more compact structures with significantly slower relaxation dynamics, as evidenced by dynamic light scattering measurements. These concentration-dependent supramolecular enzyme clusters provide tunable templates for biocatalytic self-assembly.

Project description:ContextMicro-hydration of the aminobenzoic acid is essential to understand its interaction with surrounding water molecules. Understanding the micro-hydration of the aminobenzoic acid is also essential to study its remediation from wastewater. Therefore, we explored the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the para-aminobenzoic acid-water clusters, ABW[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], to study the microsolvation of the aminobenzoic acid in water. In addition, we performed a quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis to identify the nature of non-covalent bondings in the aminobenzoic acid-water clusters. Furthermore, temperature effects on the stability of the located isomers have been examined. The located structures have been used to calculate the hydration free energy and the hydration enthalpy of the aminobenzoic acid using the cluster continuum solvation model. The hydration free energy and the hydration enthalpy of the aminobenzoic acid at room temperature are evaluated to be -7.0 kcal/mol and -18.1 kcal/mol, respectively. The hydration enthalpy is in perfect agreement with a previous experimental estimate. Besides, temperature effects on the calculated hydration enthalpy and free energy are reported. Finally, we calculated the gas phase binding energies of the most stable structures of the ABW[Formula: see text] clusters using twelve functionals of density functional theory (DFT), including empirical dispersion. The DFT functionals are benchmarked against the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS. We have found that the three most suitable DFT functionals are classified in the following order: PW6B95D3 > MN15 > [Formula: see text]B97XD. Therefore, the PW6B95D3 functional is recommended for further study of the aminobenzoic acid-water clusters and similar systems.MethodsThe exploration started with classical molecular dynamics simulations followed by complete optimization at the PW6B95D3/def2-TZVP level of theory. Optimizations are performed using Gaussian 16 suite of codes. QTAIM analysis is performed using the AIMAll program.

Project description:Four new hydronium ion structures are investigated by means of quantum mechanical calculations at the DFT/B3LYP6-311+G(2d,2p) level of theory. There exist experimental crystallographic hydronium cations (H11O5 +) of two different geometrical structures, one BEXFEQ (acyclic) and one IYEPEH (cyclic). Molecular calculations reveal their relative stability. Another hydronium cation NEBDII (H15O7 +) when optimized reveals a totally new and unexpected structure. All three optimized structures are shown to be quite stable as judged by their binding energies, and therefore may possibly be found in solution. A main result of this article is the discovery of three new optimized structures of hydronium ions, all of which are preferentially ring structures. The optimized structure of H15O7 + is a cube lacking a vertex. Putting a water molecule at the "empty" vertex leads by energy optimization to a structure of H17O8 + which has the approximate symmetry of a cube. This cubic structure, as judged by its fragments, is one of the most interesting of the hydronium ions studied in this paper. The addition of H3O+ to a group of seven neutral molecules in the hypothetical reaction H3O+ + 7 H2O → H17O8 + induces two water molecules to each capture a proton at the expense of two other water molecules (converting them into hydroxyl anions) leading to a cluster with the formula [ H 3 O + 0.7 ] 3 [ H 2 O ] 3 + 0.1 [ OH - 0.6 ] 2 , where the superscripts are the integrated QTAIM atomic charges (in atomic units) on the respective species (inside the bracket) or on groups of a given species (outside the bracket). The cubic arrangement of 3H3O+.3H2O.2OH- is accompanied with a significant redistribution of charge: Each hydronium cation carries ca. +0.7 au, the hydroxyl anions only around -0.6 au each, while the water molecules remain quasi-neutral with a slight positive charge.

Project description:Trp-cage is a 20-residue miniprotein, which is believed to be the fastest folder known so far. In this study, the folding free energy landscape of Trp-cage has been explored in explicit solvent by using an OPLSAA force field with periodic boundary condition. A highly parallel replica exchange molecular dynamics method is used for the conformation space sampling, with the help of a recently developed efficient molecular dynamics algorithm P3ME/RESPA (particle-particle particle-mesh Ewald/reference system propagator algorithm). A two-step folding mechanism is proposed that involves an intermediate state where two correctly formed partial hydrophobic cores are separated by an essential salt-bridge between residues Asp-9 and Arg-16 near the center of the peptide. This metastable intermediate state provides an explanation for the superfast folding process. The free energy landscape is found to be rugged at low temperatures, and then becomes smooth and funnel-like above 340 K. The lowest free energy structure at 300 K is only 1.50 A Calpha-RMSD (Calpha-rms deviation) from the NMR structures. The simulated nuclear Overhauser effect pair distances are in excellent agreement with the raw NMR data. The temperature dependence of the Trp-cage population, however, is found to be significantly different from experiment, with a much higher melting transition temperature above 400 K (experimental 315 K), indicating that the current force fields, parameterized at room temperature, need to be improved to correctly predict the temperature dependence.

Project description:The stabilizing effect of the rib cage on the human thoracic spine is still not sufficiently analyzed. For a better understanding of this effect as well as the calibration and validation of numerical models of the thoracic spine, experimental biomechanics data is required. This study aimed to determine (1) the stabilizing effect of the single rib cage structures on the human thoracic spine as well as the effect of the rib cage on (2) the flexibility of the single motion segments and (3) coupled motion behavior of the thoracic spine. Six human thoracic spine specimens including the entire rib cage were loaded quasi-statically with pure moments of ± 2 Nm in flexion/extension (FE), lateral bending (LB), and axial rotation (AR) using a custom-built spine tester. Motion analysis was performed using an optical motion tracking system during load application to determine range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ). Specimens were tested (1) in intact condition, (2) after removal of the intercostal muscles, (3) after median sternotomy, after removal of (4) the anterior rib cage up to the rib stumps, (5) the right sixth to eighth rib head, and (6) all rib heads. Significant (p < 0.05) increases of the ROM were found after dissecting the intercostal muscles (LB: + 22.4%, AR: + 22.6%), the anterior part of the rib cage (FE: + 21.1%, LB: + 10.9%, AR: + 72.5%), and all rib heads (AR: + 5.8%) relative to its previous condition. Compared to the intact condition, ROM and NZ increased significantly after removing the anterior part of the rib cage (FE: + 52.2%, + 45.6%; LB: + 42.0%, + 54.0%; AR: + 94.4%, + 187.8%). Median sternotomy (FE: + 11.9%, AR: + 21.9%) and partial costovertebral release (AR: + 11.7%) significantly increased the ROM relative to its previous condition. Removing the entire rib cage increased both monosegmental and coupled motion ROM, but did not alter the qualitative motion behavior. The rib cage has a strong effect on thoracic spine rigidity, especially in axial rotation by a factor of more than two, and should therefore be considered in clinical scenarios, in vitro, and in silico.

Project description:A method is presented to mathematically extract concerted structural transitions in proteins from collections of crystal structures. The "essential dynamics" procedure is used to filter out small-amplitude fluctuations from such a set of structures; the remaining large conformational changes describe motions such as those important for the uptake/release of substrate/ligand and in catalytic reactions. The method is applied to sets of x-ray structures for a number of proteins, and the results are compared with the results from essential dynamics as applied to molecular dynamics simulations of those proteins. A significant degree of similarity is found, thereby providing a direct experimental basis for the application of such simulations to the description of large concerted motions in proteins.
