Charge-transfer chemistry of azithromycin, the antibiotic used worldwide to treat the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Part III: A green protocol for facile synthesis of complexes with TCNQ, DDQ, and TFQ acceptors.

ABSTRACT: Investigating the chemical properties of molecules used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic is of vital and pressing importance. In continuation of works aimed to explore the charge-transfer chemistry of azithromycin, the antibiotic used worldwide to treat COVID-19, the disease resulting from infection with the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, in this work, a highly efficient, simple, clean, and eco-friendly protocol was used for the facile synthesis of charge-transfer complexes (CTCs) containing azithromycin and three π-acceptors: 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), and tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (TFQ). This protocol involves grinding bulk azithromycin as the donor (D) with the investigated acceptors at a 1:1 M ratio at room temperature without any solvent. We found that this protocol is environmentally benign, avoids hazardous organic solvents, and generates the desired CTCs with excellent yield (92-95%) in a straightforward means.

Charge-transfer chemistry of azithromycin, the antibiotic used worldwide to treat the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Part II: Complexation with several ?-acceptors (PA, CLA, CHL).

Project description:Finding a vaccine or cure for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) responsible for the worldwide pandemic and its economic, medical, and psychological burdens is one of the most pressing issues presently facing the global community. One of the current treatment protocols involves the antibiotic azithromycin (AZM) alone or in combination with other compounds. Obtaining additional insight into the charge-transfer (CT) chemistry of this antibiotic could help researchers and clinicians to improve such treatment protocols. Toward this aim, we investigated the CT interactions between AZM and three ?-acceptors: picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA), and chloranil (CHL) in MeOH solvent. AZM formed colored products at a 1:1 stoichiometry with the acceptors through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. An n ? ?* interaction was also proposed for the AZM-CHL CT product. The synthesized CT products had markedly different morphologies from the free reactants, exhibiting a semi-crystalline structure composed of spherical particles with diameters ranging from 50 to 90 nm.

Charge-transfer chemistry of azithromycin, the antibiotic used worldwide to treat the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Part I: Complexation with iodine in different solvents.

Project description:Around the world, the antibiotic azithromycin (AZM) is currently being used to treat the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in conjunction with hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine. Investigating the chemical and physical properties of compounds used alone or in combination to combat the COVID-19 pandemic is of vital and pressing importance. The purpose of this study was to characterize the charge transfer (CT) complexation of AZM with iodine in four different solvents: CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4, and C6H5Cl. AZM reacted with iodine at a 1:1 M ratio (AZM to I2) in the CHCl3 solvent and a 1:2 M ratio in the other three solvents, as evidenced by data obtained from an elemental analysis of the solid CT products and spectrophotometric titration and Job's continuous variation method for the soluble CT products. Data obtained from UV-visible and Raman spectroscopies indicated that AZM strongly interacted with iodine in the CH2Cl2, CCl4, and C6H5Cl solvents by a physically potent n??* interaction to produce a tri-iodide complex formulated as [AZM·I+]I3 -. XRD and TEM analyses revealed that, in all solvents, the AZM-I2 complex possessed an amorphous structure composed of spherical particles ranging from 80 to 110 nm that tended to aggregate into clusters. The findings described in the present study will hopefully contribute to optimizing the treatment protocols for COVID-19.

Data on charge-transfer interaction between 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one with PA, CLA, TFQ, DDQ and TCNQ π-acceptors.

Project description:This article is related to a research paper entitled "Exploring the charge-transfer chemistry of fluorine-containing pyrazolin-5-ones: The complexation of 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one with five π-acceptors" [J. Mol. Liq. 331 (2021) 115814] [1]. Herein we present photographic data that showed the color change after mixing methanolic solutions of 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one (donor) with each of the investigated π-acceptor [picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA), fluoranil (TFQ), DDQ, and TCNQ]. Stoichiometry data for the interaction of the donor with all acceptors determined in solution state by the spectrophotometric titration method and the Job's continuous variation method were presented. The data presented are useful for understand that the charge-transfer (CT) complexation between a donor and an acceptor, generally, is characterized by a strong color change, and to understand the stoichiometry between these molecules.

Disorder of the dimeric TCNQ-TCNQ unit in the crystal structure of [Ni(bpy)3]2(TCNQ-TCNQ)(TCNQ)2·6H2O (TCNQ is 7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane).

Project description:Crystallization from an aqueous methanol system composed of Ni(NO3)2, 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and LiTCNQ (TCNQ is 7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane) in a 1:3:2 molar ratio yielded single crystals of bis-[tris-(2,2'-bi-pyridine-?2N,N')nickel(II)] bis-(7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane radical anion) bi[7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quino-dimethanide] hexa-hydrate, [Ni(C10H8N2)3]2(C24H8N8)(C12H4N4)2·6H2O or [Ni(bpy)3]2(TCNQ-TCNQ)(TCNQ)2·6H2O. The crystal structure comprises [Ni(bpy)3]2+ complex cations, two centrosymmetric crystallographically independent TCNQ ·- anion radicals with ?-stacked exo groups, and an additional dimeric TCNQ-TCNQ unit which comprises 75.3?(9)% of a ?-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion and 24.7?(9)% of two TCNQ·- anion radicals with tightly ?-stacked exo groups. The title complex represents the first example of an NiII complex containing a ?-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion. Disordered solvent water mol-ecules present in the crystal structure participate in hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

Chemical Interaction, Space-charge Layer and Molecule Charging Energy for a TiO2/TCNQ Interface.

Project description:Three driving forces control the energy level alignment between transition-metal oxides and organic materials: the chemical interaction between the two materials, the organic electronegativity and the possible space charge layer formed in the oxide. This is illustrated in this study by analyzing experimentally and theoretically a paradigmatic case, the TiO2(110) / TCNQ interface: due to the chemical interaction between the two materials, the organic electron affinity level is located below the Fermi energy of the n-doped TiO2. Then, one electron is transferred from the oxide to this level and a space charge layer is developed in the oxide inducing an important increase in the interface dipole and in the oxide work-function.

Ionic Charge-Transfer Liquid Crystals Formed by Alternating Supramolecular Copolymerization of Liquid π-Donors and TCNQ.

Project description:A new family of liquid π-donors, lipophilic dihydrophenazine (DHP) derivatives, show remarkably high π-electron-donor property which exhibit supramolecular alternating copolymerization with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), giving ionic charge-transfer (ICT) complexes. The ICT complexes form distinct columnar liquid crystalline (LC) mesophases with well-defined alternating molecular alignment as demonstrated by UV-Vis-NIR spectra, IR spectra, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. These liquid crystalline ICT complexes display unique phase transitions in response to mechanical stress: the columnar ICT phase is converted to macroscopically oriented smectic-like mesophases upon applying shear force. Although there exist reports on the formation of ICT in the crystalline state, this study provides the first rational identification of ICT mesophases based on the spectroscopic and structural data. The liquid crystalline ICT phases are generated by strong electronic interactions between the liquid π-donors and solid acceptors. It clearly shows the significance of simultaneous fulfillment of strong π-donating ability and ordered self-assembly of the stable ICT pairs. The flexible, stimuli-responsive structural transformation of the ICT complexes offer a new perspective for designing processable CT systems with controlled hierarchical self-assembly and electronic structures.

Polymorphism in the 1:1 Charge-Transfer Complex DBTTF-TCNQ and Its Effects on Optical and Electronic Properties.

Project description:The organic charge-transfer (CT) complex dibenzotetrathiafulvalene - 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (DBTTF-TCNQ) is found to crystallize in two polymorphs when grown by physical vapor transport: the known ?-polymorph and a new structure, the ?-polymorph. Structural and elemental analysis via selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and polarized IR spectroscopy reveal that the complexes have the same stoichiometry with a 1:1 donor:acceptor ratio, but exhibit unique unit cells. The structural variations result in significant differences in the optoelectronic properties of the crystals, as observed in our experiments and electronic-structure calculations. Raman spectroscopy shows that the ?-polymorph has a degree of charge transfer of about 0.5e, while the ?-polymorph is nearly neutral. Organic field-effect transistors fabricated on these crystals reveal that in the same device structure both polymorphs show ambipolar charge transport, but the ?-polymorph exhibits electron-dominant transport while the ?-polymorph is hole-dominant. Together, these measurements imply that the transport features result from differing donor-acceptor overlap and consequential varying in frontier molecular orbital mixing, as suggested theoretically for charge-transfer complexes.

Charge-transfer interaction of aspartame and neotame with several π-acceptors: Stoichiometric data.

Project description:This data article is related to a research paper entitled ``Correlations between spectroscopic data for charge-transfer complexes of two artificial sweeteners, aspartame and neotame, generated with several π-acceptors'' [J. Mol. Liq. 333 (2021) 115904] [1]. Herein we present stoichiometric data of charge-transfer (CT) complexes generated from the interaction between aspartame and neotame with three π-acceptors in methanol solvent at room temperature. The investigated π-acceptors were picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CA), and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ), where the methods used to determine the stoichiometry of the CT interaction were the spectrophotometric titration method and the Job's continuous variation method.

Electron-Rich Diruthenium Complexes with π-Extended Alkenyl Ligands and Their F<sub>4</sub> TCNQ Charge-Transfer Salts.

Project description:The synthesis of dinuclear ruthenium alkenyl complexes with {Ru(CO)(Pi Pr3 )2 (L)} entities (L=Cl- in complexes Ru2 -3 and Ru2 -7; L=acetylacetonate (acac- ) in complexes Ru2 -4 and Ru2 -8) and with π-conjugated 2,7-divinylphenanthrenediyl (Ru2 -3, Ru2 -4) or 5,8-divinylquinoxalinediyl (Ru2 -7, Ru2 -8) as bridging ligands are reported. The bridging ligands are laterally π-extended by anellating a pyrene (Ru2 -7, Ru2 -8) or a 6,7-benzoquinoxaline (Ru2 -3, Ru2 -4) π-perimeter. This was done with the hope that the open π-faces of the electron-rich complexes will foster association with planar electron acceptors via π-stacking. The dinuclear complexes were subjected to cyclic and square-wave voltammetry and were characterized in all accessible redox states by IR, UV/Vis/NIR and, where applicable, by EPR spectroscopy. These studies signified the one-electron oxidized forms of divinylphenylene-bridged complexes Ru2 -7, Ru2 -8 as intrinsically delocalized mixed-valent species, and those of complexes Ru2 -3 and Ru2 -4 with the longer divinylphenanthrenediyl linker as partially localized on the IR, yet delocalized on the EPR timescale. The more electron-rich acac- congeners formed non-conductive 1 : 1 charge-transfer (CT) salts on treatment with the F4 TCNQ electron acceptor. All spectroscopic techniques confirmed the presence of pairs of complex radical cations and F4 TCNQ.- radical anions in these CT salts, but produced no firm evidence for the relevance of π-stacking to their formation and properties.

Charge Transport in LDPE Nanocomposites Part I-Experimental Approach.

Project description:This work presents results of bulk conductivity and surface potential decay measurements on low-density polyethylene and its nanocomposites filled with uncoated MgO and Al₂O₃, with the aim to highlight the effect of the nanofillers on charge transport processes. Material samples at various filler contents, up to 9 wt %, were prepared in the form of thin films. The performed measurements show a significant impact of the nanofillers on reduction of material's direct current (dc) conductivity. The investigations thus focused on the nanocomposites having the lowest dc conductivity. Various mechanisms of charge generation and transport in solids, including space charge limited current, Poole-Frenkel effect and Schottky injection, were utilized for examining the experimental results. The mobilities of charge carriers were deduced from the measured surface potential decay characteristics and were found to be at least two times lower for the nanocomposites. The temperature dependencies of the mobilities were compared for different materials.
