Influence of N-Base and O-Base Hybridization on Triel Bonds.

ABSTRACT: The complexes of TrR3 (Tr = B and Al; R = H, F, Cl, and Br) with three N-bases (NH3, CH2NH, and HCN) and three O-bases (CH3OH, H2CO, and CO) are utilized to explore the hybridization effect of N and O atoms on the strength, properties, and nature of the triel bond. The sp-hybridized O and N atoms form the weakest triel bond, followed by the sp2-hybridized O atom or the sp3-hybridized N atom, and the sp3-hybridized O atom or the sp2-hybridized N atom engages in the strongest triel bond. The hybridization effect is also related to the substituent of TrR3. Most complexes are dominated by electrostatic, with increasing polarization contribution from sp to sp2 to sp3. Although the CO oxygen engages in a weaker triel bond, its carbon atom is a better electron donor and the interaction energy even amounts to -37 kcal/mol in the BH3 complex.

Cooperative effects between π-hole triel and π-hole chalcogen bonds.

Project description:MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations have been performed on π-hole triel- and chalcogen-bonded complexes involving a heteroaromatic compound. These complexes are very stable with large interaction energy up to -47 kcal mol-1. The sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom engages in a stronger π-hole bond than the sp-hybridized species although the former has smaller negative electrostatic potential. The sp2-hybridized oxygen atom in 1,4-benzoquinone is a weaker electron donor in the π-hole bond than the sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom. The π-hole triel bond is stronger than the π-hole chalcogen bond. A clear structural deformation is found for the triel or chalcogen donor molecule in these π-hole-bonded complexes. The triel bond exhibits partially covalent interaction, whereas the chalcogen bond exhibits covalent interaction in the SO3 complexes of pyrazine and pyridine derivatives with a sp2-hybridized nitrogen atom. Intermolecular charge transfer (>0.2e) occurs to a considerable extent in these complexes. In ternary complexes involving an aromatic compound, wherein a triel bond and a chalcogen bond coexist, both the interactions are weakened or strengthened when the central aromatic molecule acts as a double Lewis base or plays a dual role of both a base and an acid. Both electrostatic and charge transfer effects have important contributions toward changes in the strength of both interactions.

Competition between Intra and Intermolecular Triel Bonds. Complexes between Naphthalene Derivatives and Neutral or Anionic Lewis Bases.

Project description:: A TrF2 group (Tr = B, Al, Ga, In, Tl) is placed on one of the α positions of naphthalene, and its ability to engage in a triel bond (TrB) with a weak (NCH) and strong (NC-) nucleophile is assessed by ab initio calculations. As a competitor, an NH2 group is placed on the neighboring Cα, from which point it forms an intramolecular TrB with the TrF2 group. The latter internal TrB reduces the intensity of the π-hole on the Tr atom, decreasing its ability to engage in a second external TrB. The intermolecular TrB is weakened by a factor of about two for the smaller Tr atoms but is less severe for the larger Tl. The external TrB can be quite strong nonetheless; it varies from a minimum of 8 kcal/mol for the weak NCH base, up to as much as 70 kcal/mol for CN-. Likewise, the appearance of an external TrB to a strong base like CN- lessens the ability of the Tr to engage in an internal TrB, to the point where such an intramolecular TrB becomes questionable.

Nitropyridine-1-Oxides as Excellent ?-Hole Donors: Interplay between ?-Hole (Halogen, Hydrogen, Triel, and Coordination Bonds) and ?-Hole Interactions.

Project description:In this manuscript, we use the primary source of geometrical information, i.e., Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations (PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) to demonstrate the relevance of ?-hole interactions in para-nitro substituted pyridine-1-oxides. More importantly, we show that the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) value above and below the ?-hole of the nitro group is largely influenced by the participation of the N-oxide group in several interactions like hydrogen-bonding (HB) halogen-bonding (XB), triel bonding (TrB), and finally, coordination-bonding (CB) (N+-O- coordinated to a transition metal). The CSD search discloses that p-nitro-pyridine-1-oxide derivatives have a strong propensity to participate in ?-hole interactions via the nitro group and, concurrently, N-oxide group participates in a series of interactions as electron donor. Remarkably, the DFT calculations show from strong to moderate cooperativity effects between ?-hole and HB/XB/TrB/CB interactions (?-bonding). The synergistic effects between ?-hole and ?-hole bonding interactions are studied in terms of cooperativity energies, using MEP surface analysis and the Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM).

The Role of Aromaticity, Hybridization, Electrostatics, and Covalency in Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bonds of Adenine-Thymine (AT) Base Pairs and Their Mimics.

Project description:Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in many biochemical processes and in supramolecular chemistry. In this study, we show quantum chemically that neither aromaticity nor other forms of ? assistance are responsible for the enhanced stability of the hydrogen bonds in adenine-thymine (AT) DNA base pairs. This follows from extensive bonding analyses of AT and smaller analogs thereof, based on dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT). Removing the aromatic rings of either A or T has no effect on the Watson-Crick bond strength. Only when the smaller mimics become saturated, that is, when the hydrogen-bond acceptor and donor groups go from sp (2) to sp (3), does the stability of the resulting model complexes suddenly drop. Bonding analyses based on quantitative Kohn-Sham molecular orbital theory and corresponding energy decomposition analyses (EDA) show that the stronger hydrogen bonds in the unsaturated model complexes and in AT stem from stronger electrostatic interactions as well as enhanced donor-acceptor interactions in the ?-electron system, with the covalency being responsible for shortening the hydrogen bonds in these dimers.

Triel Bond Formed by Malondialdehyde and Its Influence on the Intramolecular H-Bond and Proton Transfer.

Project description:Malondialdehyde (MDA) engages in a triel bond (TrB) with TrX3 (Tr = B and Al; X = H, F, Cl, and Br) in three modes, in which the hydroxyl O, carbonyl O, and central carbon atoms of MDA act as the electron donors, respectively. A H···X secondary interaction coexists with the TrB in the former two types of complexes. The carbonyl O forms a stronger TrB than the hydroxyl O, and both of them are better electron donors than the central carbon atom. The TrB formed by the hydroxyl O enhances the intramolecular H-bond in MDA and thus promotes proton transfer in MDA-BX3 (X = Cl and Br) and MDA-AlX3 (X = halogen), while a weakening H-bond and the inhibition of proton transfer are caused by the TrB formed by the carbonyl O. The TrB formed by the central carbon atom imposes little influence on the H-bond. The BH2 substitution on the central C-H bond can also realise the proton transfer in the triel-bonded complexes between the hydroxyl O and TrH3 (Tr = B and Al).

Base-Directed Photoredox Activation of C-H Bonds by PCET.

Project description:Photoredox catalysis using proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) has emerged as a powerful method for bond transformations. We previously employed traditional chemical oxidants to achieve multiple-site concerted proton-electron transfer (MS-CPET) activation of a C-H bond in a proof-of-concept fluorenyl-benzoate substrate. As described here, photoredox oxidation of the fluorenyl-benzoate follows the same rate constant vs driving force trend determined for thermal MS-CPET. Analogous photoredox catalysis enables C-H activation and H/D exchange in a number of additional substrates with favorably positioned bases. Mechanistic studies support our hypothesis that MS-CPET is a viable pathway for bond activation for substrates in which the C-H bond is weak, while stepwise carboxylate oxidation and hydrogen atom transfer likely predominate for stronger C-H bonds.

Synthesis of bismuthanyl-substituted monomeric triel hydrides.

Project description:The syntheses and characterizations of the first bismuthanylborane monomers stabilized only by a donor in D·BH2Bi(SiMe3)2 (D = DMAP 1a, IDipp 1b, IMe41c; DMAP = 4-dimethylaminopyridine, IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene, IMe4 = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene) are presented. All compounds were synthesized by salt metathesis reactions between D·BH2I and KBi(SiMe3)2(THF)0.3 and represent some of the extremely rare compounds featuring a 2c-2e B-Bi bond in a molecular compound. The products display high sensitivity towards air and light and slowly decompose in solution even at -80 °C. By the reaction of IDipp·GaH2(SO3CF3) with KBi(SiMe3)2(THF)0.3, the synthesis of the first bismuthanylgallane IDipp·GaH2Bi(SiMe3)2 (2) stabilized only by a 2-electron donor was possible, as evident from single crystal X-ray structure determination, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Computational studies shed light on the stability of the products and the electronic nature of the compounds.

Minor groove hydrogen bonds and the replication of unnatural base pairs.

Project description:As part of an effort to expand the genetic alphabet, we examined the synthesis of DNA with six different unnatural nucleotides bearing methoxy-derivatized nucleobase analogues. Different nucleobase substitution patterns were used to systematically alter the nucleobase electronics, sterics, and hydrogen-bonding potential. We determined the ability of the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase I to synthesize and extend the different unnatural base pairs and mispairs under steady-state conditions. Unlike other hydrogen-bond acceptors examined in the past, the methoxy groups do not facilitate mispairing, implying that they are not recognized by any of the hydrogen-bond donors of the natural nucleobases; however, they do facilitate replication. The more efficient replication results largely from an increase in the rate of extension of primers terminating at the unnatural base pair and, interestingly, requires that the methoxy group be at the ortho position where it is positioned in the developing minor groove and can form a functionally important hydrogen bond with the polymerase. Thus, ortho methoxy groups should be generally useful for the effort to expand the genetic alphabet.

Curvature-induced base pair "slipping" effects in DNA-nanoparticle hybridization.

Project description:Experiments are presented that suggest DNA strands chemically immobilized on gold nanoparticle surfaces can engage in two types of hybridization: one that involves complementary strands and normal base pairing interactions and a second one assigned as a "slipping" interaction, which can additionally stabilize the aggregate structures through non-Watson-Crick type base pairing or interactions less complementary than the primary interaction. The curvature of the particles appears to be a major factor that contributes to the formation of these slipping interactions as evidenced by the observation that flat gold triangular nanoprism conjugates of the same sequence do not support them. Finally, these slipping interactions significantly stabilize nanoparticle aggregate structures, leading to large increases in T(m)'s and effective association constants as compared with free DNA and particles that do not have the appropriate sequence to maximize their contribution.

Detecting RNA base methylations in single cells by in situ hybridization.

Project description:Methylated bases in tRNA, rRNA and mRNA control a variety of cellular processes, including protein synthesis, antimicrobial resistance and gene expression. Currently, bulk methods that report the average methylation state of ~104-107 cells are used to detect these modifications, obscuring potentially important biological information. Here, we use in situ hybridization of Molecular Beacons for single-cell detection of three methylations (m62A, m1G and m3U) that destabilize Watson-Crick base pairs. Our method-methylation-sensitive RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization-detects single methylations of rRNA, quantifies antibiotic-resistant bacteria in mixtures of cells and simultaneously detects multiple methylations using multicolor fluorescence imaging.
