All-Thiophene-Based Double Helix: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Chiroptical Property and Arylation.

ABSTRACT: The all-thiophene-based double helix DH-1 was designed and prepared originally from the selective deprotonation of cyclooctatetrathiophene (tetra[3,4]thienylene, COTh) and following the Negishi coupling reaction with 3,3'-bithiophene. The X-ray crystallographic studies revealed that DH-1 has a double-helical scaffold. The arylations including tetraphenylation and tetrathienylation were efficiently employed to replace the four ?-protons of the central COTh of DH-1 with phenyl and thiophenyl groups via cross-coupling reactions. The chiral resolution of rac-DH-1 was fulfilled via chiral high-performance liquid chromatography, and the chiroptical properties were characterized by circular dichroism spectra and optical rotation. Ultraviolet-visible absorption and fluorescence behaviors of DH-1 and its arylation products were also characterized to describe the extended conjugated scaffold.

A'-form RNA double helix in the single crystal structure of r(UGAGCUUCGGCUC).

Project description:Here we demonstrate the presence of the A'-RNA conformation using the single crystal structure of a tridecamer: r(UGAGCUUCGGCUC). The average A'-RNA conformation deduced from X-ray fiber diffraction data had only been available previously, but now the presence of the A'-RNA conformation has been found in a single crystal structure for the first time. Statistical analysis showed that the A'-RNA conformation is distinguishable from the A-RNA conformation in a plot of the major groove width against the base pair inclination angle. The major groove of the A'-RNA conformation is wide enough to accommodate a protein or peptide while that of the A-RNA conformation is too narrow to do so. The presence of the A'-RNA conformation is significant for protein-RNA interaction.

9-Vinylanthracene Based Fluorogens: Synthesis, Structure-Property Relationships and Applications.

Project description:Fluorescent dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties exhibit intensified emission upon aggregation. They are promising candidates to study biomolecules and cellular changes in aqueous environments when aggregation formation occurs. Here, we report a group of 9-position functionalized anthracene derivatives that were conveniently synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction. Using fluorometric analyses, these dyes were confirmed to show AIE behavior upon forming aggregates at high concentrations, in viscous solvents, and when poorly solubilized. Their photophysical properties were then further correlated with their structural features, using density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Finally, we demonstrated their potential applications in monitoring pH changes, quantifying globular proteins, as well as cell imaging with confocal microscopy.

A Sr2+-metal-organic framework with high chemical stability: synthesis, crystal structure and photoluminescence property.

Project description:Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are typically built by assembly of metal centres and organic linkers, and have emerged as promising crystalline materials in a variety of fields. However, the stability of MOFs is a key limitation for their practical applications. Herein, we report a novel Sr 2+: -MOF [Sr4(Tdada)2(H2O)3(DMF)2] (denoted as NKU- 105: , NKU?=?Nankai University; H4Tdada?=?5,5'-((thiophene-2,5-dicar bonyl)bis(azanediyl))diisophthalic acid; DMF?=?N,N-dimethylformamide) featuring an open square channel of about 6?Å along the c-axis. Notably, NKU- 105: exhibits much outstanding chemical stability against common organic solvents, boiling water, acids and bases, relative to most MOF materials. Furthermore, NKU- 105: is an environment-friendly luminescent material with a bright cyan emission.This article is part of the themed issue 'Coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks: materials by design'.

Thiophene-fused polyaromatics: synthesis, columnar liquid crystal, fluorescence and electrochemical properties.

Project description:Efficient syntheses that incorporate thiophene units into different extended conjugation systems are of interest as a result of the prevalence of sulfur-rich aromatics in organic electronics. Self-organization by using liquid crystal properties is also desirable for optimal processing of organic electronics and optical devices. In this article, we describe a two-step process to access extended regioisomers of polyaromatics with different shapes. This method involves an efficient single or double benzannulation from an alkyne precursor followed by Scholl cyclization. In spite of their unconventional nondiscoid shape, these materials display stable columnar liquid crystal phases. We examine the photophysical and electrochemical properties and find that structurally very similar thiophene-fused polyaromatics display significant differences in their properties.

A new Bi-based visible-light-sensitive photocatalyst BiLa1.4Ca0.6O4.2: crystal structure, optical property and photocatalytic activity.

Project description:A new compound of BiLa1.4Ca0.6O4.2 is synthesized through solid state reaction, where the Ca substitutes, in part, the La site in a stable BiLa2O4.5 phase. The structure of the BiLa1.4Ca0.6O4.2 crystallizes in space group R3mH with a hexagonal lattice constants of a = 3.893(1) Å, c = 9.891(1) Å. Its optical absorption edge is about 2.05 eV, which just spans the visible light region. The photocatalytic activity of the BiLa1.4Ca0.6O4.2 powder to degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation is measured and improved more than 7 times by annealing in nitrogen ambient, indicating that annealing in nitrogen can effectively improve the photocatalytic activity by producing oxygen vacancy. Although the absolute photocatalytic activity obtained is low, there is great potential for enhancing the activity such as nanoscaling, doping, and coupling with other compounds.

Direct insight into the structure-property relation of interfaces from constrained crystal structure prediction.

Project description:A major issue that prevents a full understanding of heterogeneous materials is the lack of systematic first-principles methods to consistently predict energetics and electronic properties of reconstructed interfaces. In this work we address this problem with an efficient and accurate computational scheme. We extend the minima-hopping method implementing constraints crafted for two-dimensional atomic relaxation and enabling variations of the atomic density close to the interface. A combination of density-functional and accurate density-functional tight-binding calculations supply energy and forces to structure prediction. We demonstrate the power of this method by applying it to extract structure-property relations for a large and varied family of symmetric and asymmetric tilt boundaries in polycrystalline silicon. We find a rich polymorphism in the interface reconstructions, with recurring bonding patterns that we classify in increasing energetic order. Finally, a clear relation between bonding patterns and electrically active grain boundary states is unveiled and discussed.

5-Formylcytosine alters the structure of the DNA double helix.

Project description:The modified base 5-formylcytosine (5fC) was recently identified in mammalian DNA and might be considered to be the 'seventh' base of the genome. This nucleotide has been implicated in active demethylation mediated by the base excision repair enzyme thymine DNA glycosylase. Genomics and proteomics studies have suggested an additional role for 5fC in transcription regulation through chromatin remodeling. Here we propose that 5fC might affect these processes through its effect on DNA conformation. Biophysical and structural analysis revealed that 5fC alters the structure of the DNA double helix and leads to a conformation unique among known DNA structures including those comprising other cytosine modifications. The 1.4-Å-resolution X-ray crystal structure of a DNA dodecamer comprising three 5fCpG sites shows how 5fC changes the geometry of the grooves and base pairs associated with the modified base, leading to helical underwinding.

Crystal structure of a poly(rA) staggered zipper at acidic pH: evidence that adenine N1 protonation mediates parallel double helix formation.

Project description:We have solved at 1. 07: Å resolution the X-ray crystal structure of a polyriboadenylic acid (poly(rA)) parallel and continuous double helix. Fifty-nine years ago, double helices of poly(rA) were first proposed to form at acidic pH. Here, we show that 7-mer oligo(rA), i.e. rA7, hybridizes and overlaps in all registers at pH 3.5 to form stacked double helices that span the crystal. Under these conditions, rA7 forms well-ordered crystals, whereas rA6 forms fragile crystalline-like structures, and rA5, rA8 and rA11 fail to crystallize. Our findings support studies from ?50 years ago: one showed using spectroscopic methods that duplex formation at pH 4.5 largely starts with rA7 and begins to plateau with rA8; another proposed a so-called 'staggered zipper' model in which oligo(rA) strands overlap in multiple registers to extend the helical duplex. While never shown, protonation of adenines at position N1 has been hypothesized to be critical for helix formation. Bond angles in our structure suggest that N1 is protonated on the adenines of every other rAMP-rAMP helix base pair. Our data offer new insights into poly(rA) duplex formation that may be useful in developing a pH sensor.

Project description:A new complex [Mg(L)₂(phen)(H₂O)₂](phen)(H₂O)₂ [L= N-benzenesulphonyl-L-leucine] was synthesized by the reaction of magnesium chloride hexahydrate with N-benzenesulphonyl-L-leucine and 1,10-phenanthroline in the CH₃CH₂OH/H₂O (v:v = 5:1). It was characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal of the title complex [Mg(L)₂(phen)(H₂O)₂](phen)(H₂O)₂ belongs to triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 0.72772(15) nm, b = 1.4279(3) nm, c = 1.4418(3) nm, α = 63.53(3)°, β = 79.75(3)°, γ = 81.83(3)°, V = 1.3163(5) nm³, Z =1, Dc= 1.258 μg·m-3, μ = 0.177 mm-1, F(000) = 526, and final R₁ = 0.0506, ωR₂ = 0.1328. The complex comprises a six-coordinated magnesium(II) center, with a N₂O₄ distorted octahedron coordination environment. The molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking to form one dimensional chain structure. The luminescent property of the Mg(II) complex has been investigated in solid.

Double N-arylation reaction of polyhalogenated 4,4'-bipyridines. Expedious synthesis of functionalized 2,7-diazacarbazoles.

Project description:Unusual 2,7-diazacarbazoles were prepared in one step from readily available tetra-halogenated 4,4'-bipyridines by using a double N-arylation reaction in the presence of the Pd-XPhos catalyst system. Moderate to good yields were obtained in this site-selective Buchwald-Hartwig double amination. The functionalization of these tricyclic derivatives was performed by using Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as the Stille and Suzuki couplings. Two compounds were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and show ?-? stacking involving the diazacarbazole moieties and the phenyl rings of functionalized groups.
