Bambusuril analogs based on alternating glycoluril and xylylene units.

ABSTRACT: The glycoluril monomer is a popular building block in supramolecular chemistry as it is used for the synthesis of versatile host molecules which can interact with cationic, anionic or neutral guest molecules. Here we present the design and synthesis of a new hybrid macrocycle containing glycoluril and aromatic units. The reaction afforded a mixture of macrocyclic homologues from which a two-membered macrocycle was isolated as the main product. Two disastereomers of the macrocycle were separated and characterized by means of NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Conformational changes of these diastereomers were investigated using DFT models and variable-temperature NMR.

Alternating ROMP copolymers containing charge-transfer units.

Project description:Alternating copolymers derived from the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of functionalized cyclobutene esters (CBE) and cyclohexenes (CH) are described. The copolymer poly(CBE-alt-CH)n contains alternating side-chains based on dialcoxynaphthalene (DAN) and pyromellitc dianhydride (PDI). Characterization by UV-Vis spectroscopy showed that the copolymers exhibit an increase in charge-transfer intensity in comparison to previously reported alternating copolymers. The bulky side-chains inhibit backbiting during the polymerization and allow for enhanced control over the polymerization in comparison to copolymers functionalized with linear alkyl groups.

Multichromic Polymers Containing Alternating Bi(3-Methoxythiophene) and Triphenylamine Based Units with Para-Protective Substituents.

Project description:Two novel triphenylamine-based thiophene derivative monomers, 4-cyano-4',4?-di(4-methoxythiophen-2-yl)triphenylamine and 4-methoxy-4',4?-di(4-methoxythiophen-2-yl)triphenylamine, were successfully synthesized. The corresponding polymers including poly (4-cyano-4',4?-di(4-methoxythiophen-2-yl)triphenylamine) and poly (4-methoxy-4',4?-di(4-methoxythiophen-2-yl)triphenylamine) were electrochemically synthesized and characterized by multiple test method. The electrochemical measurements and spectroelectrochemical analyses revealed that both of the two polymers had quasi-reversible redox behavior and multi-electrochromic properties. The two polymer films showed reversible electrochemical oxidation, excellent optical contrasts in NIR region (62% at 1070 nm for the first polymer, and 86% at 1255 nm for the second polymer), satisfactory coloration efficiencies and fast switching times. The research on the application of the as prepared polymer in the fabrication of electrochromic device was also conducted, employing PCMTPA or PMMTPA as the anodically coloring materials.

Theoretical and NMR Conformational Studies of ?-Proline Oligopeptides With Alternating Chirality of Pyrrolidine Units.

Project description:Synthetic ?-peptides are potential functional mimetics of native ?-proteins. A recently developed, novel, synthetic approach provides an effective route to the broad group of ?-proline oligomers with alternating patterns of stereogenic centers. Conformation of the pyrrolidine ring, Z/E isomerism of ?-peptide bonds, and hindered rotation of the neighboring monomers determine the spatial structure of this group of ?-proline oligopeptides. Preferences in their structural organization and corresponding thermodynamic properties are determined by NMR spectroscopy, restrained molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics. The studied ?-proline oligopeptides exist in dimethyl sulfoxide solution in a limited number of conformers, with compatible energy of formation and different spatial organization. In the ?-proline tetrapeptide with alternating chirality of composing pyrrolidine units, one of three peptide bonds may exist in an E configuration. For the alternating ?-proline pentapeptide, the presence of an E configuration for at least of one ?-peptide bond is mandatory. In this case, three peptide bonds synchronously change their configurations. Larger polypeptides may only exist in the presence of several E configurations of ?-peptide bonds forming a wave-like extended structure.

Conductance of a single flexible molecular wire composed of alternating donor and acceptor units.

Project description:Molecular-scale electronics is mainly concerned by understanding charge transport through individual molecules. A key issue here is the charge transport capability through a single--typically linear--molecule, characterized by the current decay with increasing length. To improve the conductance of individual polymers, molecular design often either involves the use of rigid ribbon/ladder-type structures, thereby sacrificing for flexibility of the molecular wire, or a zero band gap, typically associated with chemical instability. Here we show that a conjugated polymer composed of alternating donor and acceptor repeat units, synthesized directly by an on-surface polymerization, exhibits a very high conductance while maintaining both its flexible structure and a finite band gap. Importantly, electronic delocalization along the wire does not seem to be necessary as proven by spatial mapping of the electronic states along individual molecular wires. Our approach should facilitate the realization of flexible 'soft' molecular-scale circuitry, for example, on bendable substrates.

Triptycene Walled Glycoluril Trimer: Synthesis and Recognition Properties.

Project description:We report the synthesis of a new acyclic CB[n]-type host (1) that features a central glycoluril trimer capped by triptycene sidewalls. Host 1 has good solubility in water (≈ 3 mM) and does not undergo strong self-association (Ks = 480 M-1). We probed the geometry of the complexes by analyzing the complexation induced changes in the 1H NMR spectra and measured the complexation thermodynamics by isothermal titration calorimetry. The conformation of 1 and its packing in the solid state was revealed by single crystal x-ray diffraction measurements.

One-to-one encapsulation based on alternating droplet generation.

Project description:This paper reports the preparation of encapsulated particles as models of cells using an alternating droplet generation encapsulation method in which the number of particles in a droplet is controlled by a microchannel to achieve one-to-one encapsulation. Using a microchannel in which wettability is treated locally, the fluorescent particles used as models of cells were successfully encapsulated in uniform water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion droplets. Furthermore, 20% of the particle-containing droplets contained one particle. Additionally, when a surfactant with the appropriate properties was used, the fluorescent particles within each inner aqueous droplet were enclosed in the merged droplet by spontaneous droplet coalescence. This one-to-one encapsulation method based on alternating droplet generation could be used for a variety of applications, such as high-throughput single-cell assays, gene transfection into cells or one-to-one cell fusion.

Molecular dynamics simulations of the growth of poly(chloro-para-xylylene) films.

Project description:Parylene C, poly(chloro-para-xylylene) is the most widely used member of the parylene family due to its excellent chemical and physical properties. In this work we analyzed the formation of the parylene C film using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods. A five unit chain is necessary to create a stable hydrophobic cluster and to adhere to a covered surface. Two scenarios were deemed to take place. The obtained results are consistent with a polymer film scaling growth mechanism and contribute to the description of the dynamic growth of the parylene C polymer.

Glycoluril-Derived Molecular Clips are Potent and Selective Receptors for Cationic Dyes in Water.

Project description:Molecular clip 1 remains monomeric in water and engages in host-guest recognition processes with suitable guests. We report the Ka values for 32 1?guest complexes measured by 1 H?NMR, UV/Vis, and fluorescence titrations. The cavity of 1 is shaped by aromatic surfaces of negative electrostatic potential and therefore displays high affinity and selectivity for planar and cationic aromatic guests that distinguishes it from CB[n] receptors that prefer aliphatic over aromatic guests. Electrostatic effects play a dominant role in the recognition process whereby ion-dipole interactions may occur between ammonium ions and the C=O groups of 1, between the SO3- groups of 1 and pendant cationic groups on the guest, and within the cavity of 1 by cation-? interactions. Host 1 displays a high affinity toward dicationic guests with large planar aromatic surfaces (e.g. naphthalene diimide NDI+ and perylene diimide PDI+) and cationic dyes derived from acridine (e.g. methylene blue and azure?A). The critical importance of cation-? interactions was ascertained by a comparison of analogous neutral and cationic guests (e.g. methylene violet vs. methylene blue; quinoline vs. N-methylquinolinium; acridine vs. N-methylacridinium; neutral red vs. neutral red H+ ) the affinities of which differ by up to 380-fold. We demonstrate that the high affinity of 1 toward methylene blue (Ka =3.92×107 ?m-1 ; Kd =25?nm) allows for the selective sequestration and destaining of U87 cells stained with methylene blue.

Introducing criteria based audit into Ugandan maternity units.

Project description:PROBLEM: Maternal mortality in Uganda has remained unchanged at 500/100 000 over the past 10 years despite concerted efforts to improve the standard of maternity care. It is especially difficult to improve standards in rural areas, where there is little money for improvements. Furthermore, staff may be isolated, poorly paid, disempowered, lacking in morale, and have few skills to bring about change. DESIGN: Training programme to introduce criteria based audit into rural Uganda. SETTING: Makerere University Medical School, Mulago Hospital (large government teaching hospital in Kampala), and Mpigi District (rural area with 10 small health centres around a district hospital). STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE: Didactic teaching about criteria based audit followed by practical work in own units, with ongoing support and follow up workshops. EFFECTS OF CHANGE: Improvements were seen in many standards of care. Staff showed universal enthusiasm for the training; many staff produced simple, cost-free improvements in their standard of care. LESSONS LEARNT: Teaching of criteria based audit to those providing health care in developing countries can produce low cost improvements in the standards of care. Because the method is simple and can be used to provide improvements even without new funding, it has the potential to produce sustainable and cost effective changes in the standard of health care. Follow up is needed to prevent a waning of enthusiasm with time.

An Evidence-Based Review of Alternating Electric Fields Therapy for Malignant Gliomas.

Project description:Glioblastoma is a deadly disease and even aggressive neurosurgical resection followed by radiation and chemotherapy only extends patient survival to a median of 1.5 years. The challenge in treating this type of tumor stems from the rapid proliferation of the malignant glioma cells, the diffuse infiltrative nature of the disease, multiple activated signal transduction pathways within the tumor, development of resistant clones during treatment, the blood brain barrier that limits the delivery of drugs into the central nervous system, and the sensitivity of the brain to treatment effect. Therefore, new therapies that possess a unique mechanism of action are needed to treat this tumor. Recently, alternating electric fields, also known as tumor treating fields (TTFields), have been developed for the treatment of glioblastoma. TTFields use electromagnetic energy at an intermediate frequency of 200 kHz as a locoregional intervention and act to disrupt tumor cells as they undergo mitosis. In a phase III clinical trial for recurrent glioblastoma, TTFields were shown to have equivalent efficacy when compared to conventional chemotherapies, while lacking the typical side effects associated with chemotherapies. Furthermore, an interim analysis of a recent clinical trial in the upfront setting demonstrated superiority to standard of care cytotoxic chemotherapy, most likely because the subjects' tumors were at an earlier stage of clonal evolution, possessed less tumor-induced immunosuppression, or both. Therefore, it is likely that the efficacy of TTFields can be increased by combining it with other anti-cancer treatment modalities.
