Anion Pairs Template a Trigonal Prism with Disilver Vertices.

ABSTRACT: Here we describe the formation of a trigonal prismatic cage, utilizing 2-formyl-1,8-naphthyridine subcomponents to bind pairs of silver(I) ions in close proximity. This cage is the first example of a new class of subcomponent self-assembled polyhedral structures having bimetallic vertices, as opposed to the single metal centers that typically serve as structural elements within such cages. Our new cage self-assembles around a pair of anionic templates, which are shown by crystallographic and solution-phase data to bind within the central cavity of the structure. Many different anions serve as competent templates and guests. Elongated dianions, such as the strong oxidizing agent peroxysulfate, also serve to template and bind within the cavity of the prism. The principle of using subcomponents that have more than one spatially close, but nonchelating, binding site may thus allow access to other higher-order structures with multimetallic vertices.

Transformation Network Culminating in a Heteroleptic Cd6L6L'2 Twisted Trigonal Prism.

Project description:Transformations between three-dimensional metallosupramolecular assemblies can enable switching between the different functions of these structures. Here we report a network of such transformations, based upon a subcomponent displacement strategy. The flow through this network is directed by the relative reactivities of different amines, aldehydes, and di(2-pyridyl)ketone. The network provides access to an unprecedented heteroleptic Cd6L6L'2 twisted trigonal prism. The principles underpinning this network thus allow for the design of diverse structural transformations, converting one helicate into another, a helicate into a tetrahedron, a tetrahedron into a different tetrahedron, and a tetrahedron into the new trigonal prismatic structure type. The selective conversion from one host to another also enabled the uptake of a desired guest from a mixture of guests.

Diclofenac Ion Hydration: Experimental and Theoretical Search for Anion Pairs.

Project description:Self-assembly of organic ions in aqueous solutions is a hot topic at the present time, and substances that are well-soluble in water are usually studied. In this work, aqueous solutions of sodium diclofenac are investigated, which, like most medicinal compounds, is poorly soluble in water. Classical MD modeling of an aqueous solution of diclofenac sodium showed equilibrium between the hydrated anion and the hydrated dimer of the diclofenac anion. The assignment and interpretation of the bands in the UV, NIR, and IR spectra are based on DFT calculations in the discrete-continuum approximation. It has been shown that the combined use of spectroscopic methods in various frequency ranges with classical MD simulations and DFT calculations provides valuable information on the association processes of medical compounds in aqueous solutions. Additionally, such a combined application of experimental and calculation methods allowed us to put forward a hypothesis about the mechanism of the effect of diclofenac sodium in high dilutions on a solution of diclofenac sodium.

PRISM-EM: template interface-based modelling of multi-protein complexes guided by cryo-electron microscopy density maps.

Project description:The structures of protein assemblies are important for elucidating cellular processes at the molecular level. Three-dimensional electron microscopy (3DEM) is a powerful method to identify the structures of assemblies, especially those that are challenging to study by crystallography. Here, a new approach, PRISM-EM, is reported to computationally generate plausible structural models using a procedure that combines crystallographic structures and density maps obtained from 3DEM. The predictions are validated against seven available structurally different crystallographic complexes. The models display mean deviations in the backbone of <5 Å. PRISM-EM was further tested on different benchmark sets; the accuracy was evaluated with respect to the structure of the complex, and the correlation with EM density maps and interface predictions were evaluated and compared with those obtained using other methods. PRISM-EM was then used to predict the structure of the ternary complex of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein trimer, the ligand CD4 and the neutralizing protein m36.

Reducing vertices in property graphs.

Project description:Graph databases are constantly growing, and, at the same time, some of their data is the same or similar. Our experience with the management of the existing databases, especially the bigger ones, shows that certain vertices are particularly replicated there numerous times. Eliminating repetitive or even very similar data speeds up the access to database resources. We present a modification of this approach, where similarly we group together vertices of identical properties, but then additionally we join together groups of data that are located in distant parts of a graph. The second part of our approach is non-trivial. We show that the search for a partition of a given graph where each member of the partition has only pairwise distant vertices is NP-hard. We indicate a group of heuristics that try to solve our difficult computational problems and then we apply them to check the the effectiveness of our approach.

Bridges and Vertices in Heteroboranes.

Project description:A number of (hetero)boranes are known in which a main group atom X 'bridges' a B-B connectivity in the open face, and in such species X has previously been described as simply a bridge or, alternatively, as a vertex in a larger cluster. In this study we describe an approach to distinguish between these options based on identifying the best fit of the experimental {Bx} cluster fragment with alternate exemplar {Bx} fragments derived from DFT-optimized [BnHn]2- models. In most of the examples studied atom X is found to be better regarded as a vertex, having 'a 'verticity' of ca. 60-65%. Consideration of our results leads to the suggestion that the radial electron contribution from X to the overall skeletal electron count is more significant than the tangential contribution.

Stereospecific Ring Contraction of Bromocycloheptenes through Dyotropic Rearrangements via Nonclassical Carbocation-Anion Pairs.

Project description:Experimental and theoretical evidence is reported for a rare type I dyotropic rearrangement involving a [1,2]-alkene shift, leading to the regio- and stereospecific ring contraction of bromocycloheptenes. This reaction occurs under mild conditions, with or without a Lewis acid catalyst. DFT calculations show that the reaction proceeds through a nonclassical carbocation-anion pair, which is crucial for the low activation barrier and enantiospecificity. The chiral cyclopropylcarbinyl cation may be a transition state or an intermediate, depending on the reaction conditions.

Active-Metal Template Synthesis of a Halogen-Bonding Rotaxane for Anion Recognition.

Project description:The synthesis of an all-halogen-bonding rotaxane for anion recognition is achieved by using active-metal templation. A flexible bis-iodotriazole-containing macrocycle is exploited for the metal-directed rotaxane synthesis. Endotopic binding of a Cu(I) template facilitates an active-metal CuAAC iodotriazole axle formation reaction that captures the interlocked rotaxane product. Following copper-template removal, exotopic coordination of a more sterically demanding rhenium(I) complex induces an inversion in the conformation of the macrocycle component, directing the iodotriazole halogen-bond donors into the rotaxane's interlocked binding cavity to facilitate anion recognition.

Acoustic dispersive prism.

Project description:The optical dispersive prism is a well-studied element, which allows separating white light into its constituent spectral colors, and stands in nature as water droplets. In analogy to this definition, the acoustic dispersive prism should be an acoustic device with capability of splitting a broadband acoustic wave into its constituent Fourier components. However, due to the acoustical nature of materials as well as the design and fabrication difficulties, there is neither any natural acoustic counterpart of the optical prism, nor any artificial design reported so far exhibiting an equivalent acoustic behaviour. Here, based on exotic properties of the acoustic transmission-line metamaterials and exploiting unique physical behaviour of acoustic leaky-wave radiation, we report the first acoustic dispersive prism, effective within the audible frequency range 800 Hz-1300 Hz. The dispersive nature, and consequently the frequency-dependent refractive index of the metamaterial are exploited to split the sound waves towards different and frequency-dependent directions. Meanwhile, the leaky-wave nature of the structure facilitates the sound wave radiation into the ambient medium.
