Structure and IR Spectra of 3(5)-Aminopyrazoles and UV-Induced Tautomerization in Argon Matrix.

ABSTRACT: The prototropic tautomerism in 3(5)-aminopyrazoles was investigated by matrix isolation infrared (IR) spectroscopy, supported by DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) calculations. In consonance with the experimental data, the calculations predict tautomer 3-aminopyrazole (3AP) to be more stable than the 5-aminopyrazole (5AP) tautomer (calculated energy difference: 10.7 kJ mol^-1; Gibbs free energy difference: 9.8 kJ mol^-1). The obtained matrix isolation IR spectra (in both argon and xenon matrices) were interpreted, and the observed bands were assigned to the tautomeric forms with help of vibrational calculations carried out at both harmonic and anharmonic levels. The matrix-isolated compound (in argon matrix) was then subjected to in situ broadband UV irradiation (λ > 235 nm), and the UV-induced transformations were followed by IR spectroscopy. Phototautomerization of the 3AP tautomer into the 5AP form was observed as the strongly prevalent reaction.

Direct IR Absorption Spectra of Propargyl Cation Isolated in Solid Argon.

Project description:The direct infrared (IR) absorption spectra of propargyl cations were recorded. These cations were generated via the electron bombardment of a propyne/Ar matrix sample during matrix deposition. Secondary photolysis with selected ultraviolet (UV) light was used for grouping the observed bands of various products. The band assignment of the propargyl cation in solid Ar was performed according by referring to the previous infrared photodissociation (IRPD) and velocity-map imaging photoelectron (VMI-PE) data, and via theoretical predictions of the anharmonic vibrational wavenumbers, band intensities, and deuterium-substituted isotopic ratios. Almost all the IR active bands with an observable intensity were recorded and the ν11 mode was reported for the first time.

Structure and IR Spectroscopic Properties of HNCO Complexes with SO2 Isolated in Solid Argon.

Project description:FTIR spectroscopy was combined with the matrix isolation technique and quantum chemical calculations with the aim of studying complexes of isocyanic acid with sulfur dioxide. The structures of the HNCO⋯SO2 complexes of 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 stoichiometry were optimized at the MP2, B3LYPD3, B2PLYPD3 levels of theory with the 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. Five stable 1:1 HNCO⋯SO2 complexes were found. Three of them contain a weak N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, whereas two other structures are stabilized by van der Waals interactions. The analysis of the HNCO/SO2/Ar spectra after deposition indicates that mostly the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complexes are present in argon matrices, with a small amount of the van der Waals structures. Upon annealing, complexes of the 1:2 stoichiometry were detected, as well.

Amyloid β-Sheet Secondary Structure Identified in UV-Induced Cataracts of Porcine Lenses using 2D IR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Cataracts are formed by the aggregation of crystallin proteins in the eye lens. Many in vitro studies have established that crystallin proteins precipitate into aggregates that contain amyloid fibers when denatured, but there is little evidence that ex vivo cataracts contain amyloid. In this study, we collect two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectra on tissue slices of porcine eye lenses. As shown in control experiments on in vitro αB- and γD-crystallin, 2D IR spectroscopy can identify the highly ordered β-sheets typical of amyloid secondary structure even if the fibers themselves are too short to be resolved with TEM. In ex vivo experiments of acid-treated tissues, characteristic 2D IR features are observed and fibers >50nm in length are resolved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), consistent with amyloid fibers. In UV-irradiated lens tissues, fibers are not observed with TEM, but highly ordered β-sheets of amyloid secondary structure is identified from the 2D IR spectra. The characteristic 2D IR features of amyloid β-sheet secondary structure are created by as few as four or five strands and so identify amyloid secondary structure even if the aggregates themselves are too small to be resolved with TEM. We discuss these findings in the context of the chaperone system of the lens, which we hypothesize sequesters small aggregates, thereby preventing long fibers from forming. This study expands the scope of heterodyned 2D IR spectroscopy to tissues. The results provide a link between in vitro and ex vivo studies and support the hypothesis that cataracts are an amyloid disease.

Crystal structure and UV spectra of a 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazolium chloride.

Project description:1-(2-Hy-droxy-benz-yl)-2-(2-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium chloride, C20H17N2O2+·Cl-, was prepared by reaction of salicyl-aldehyde with o-phenyl-enedi-amine in the presence of tri-methyl-silyl chloride acting as a source of HCl. As a result of steric hindrance, the cation in the crystal is far from planar: the benzimidazole ring system makes dihedral angles of 55.49?(9) and 81.36?(8)° with the planes of the phenolic groups. The crystal packing is dominated by O-H?Cl and N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, which link the cations and anions into four-membered rings and then into chains along [100]. The title compound exhibits two transitions in the UV region, which are revealed in the solid state and solution spectra as an absorption maximum at 280?nm and a shoulder at 320?nm. According to the results of TD-DFT calculation, both transitions have a ?-?* nature and the mol-ecular orbitals involved in these transitions are mostly localized on the benzimidazole ring system and on the phenyl ring attached to it at the 2-position.

Experimental isolation and spectroscopic characterization of squamocin acetogenin combining FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV-Vis spectra with DFT calculations.

Project description:Squamocin, an annonaceous acetogenin has been experimentally isolated and characterized in the solid state using the FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra and in methanol solution by UV-visible spectrum. The main bands observed were assigned combining the IR and Raman spectra with hybrid functional B3LYP/6-31G? calculations. Structural, electronic and topological properties were predicted at the same level of theory for the most stable conformer of squamocin in gas phase and methanol solution. A corrected solvation energy value of -147.54 kJ/mol was predicted for squamocin in methanol while the atomic population natural (NPA) charges evidence higher values on O atoms of R2 and R3 rings, as compared with the corresponding to lactone ring. Mapped MEP surfaces suggest that nucleophilic regions are located on the O atoms of three rings and of OH bonds belonging to side chain, in agreement with the higher charges values evidenced on these O atoms while electrophilic regions are predicted on the H atoms of OH groups. High stabilities of squamocin in both media was revealed by AIM studies while only in methanol solution by NBO calculations. The expansion of volume and the higher dipole moment in methanol suggest a clear solvation of squamocin by solvent molecules. Gap values have evidenced that squamocin is most reactive in methanol while that its large aliphatic chain produces an increases the reactivity of this ?-lactone, as compared with ascorbic acid lactone. Reasonable concordances among the predicted UV-visible and IR, Raman spectra with the corresponding experimental ones were found.

Experimental IR, Raman, and UV-Vis Spectra DFT Structural and Conformational Studies: Bioactivity and Solvent Effect on Molecular Properties of Methyl-Eugenol.

Project description:Structural, conformational, and spectroscopic investigations of methyl-eugenol were made theoretically at the B3LYP-6-311++G**level. Experimental IR, Raman, and UV-vis spectra were investigated and analyzed in light of the computed quantities. Conformational analysis was carried out with the help of total energy vs. dihedral angle curves for different tops, yielding 21 stable conformers, out of which only two have energies below the room temperature relative to the lowest energy conformer. The effect of the solvent on different molecular characteristics was investigated theoretically. MEP and HOMO-LUMO analysis were carried out and barrier heights and bioactivity scores were determined. The present investigation suggests that the molecule has three active sites with moderate bioactivity. The solvent-solute interaction is found to be dominant in the vicinity of the methoxy moieties.

Comment on "Isolating Polaritonic 2D-IR Transmission Spectra".

Project description:This Viewpoint responds to the analysis of 2D IR spectra of vibration cavity polaritons in the study reported in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (Duan et al. 2021, 12, 11406). That report analyzed 2D IR spectra of strongly coupled molecules, such as W(CO)6 and nitroprusside anion, based on subtracting a background signal generated by polariton filtered free space signals. They assigned the resulting response as being due to excited polaritons. We point out in this Viewpoint that virtually all of the response can be properly reproduced using the physics of transmission through an etalon containing a material modeled with a complex dielectric function describing the ground- and excited-state absorber populations. Furthermore, such a coupled system cannot be described as a scaled sum of the bare molecular and cavity responses.

Direct observation of ground-state lactam-lactim tautomerization using temperature-jump transient 2D IR spectroscopy.

Project description:We provide a systematic characterization of the nanosecond ground-state lactam-lactim tautomerization of pyridone derivatives in aqueous solution under ambient conditions using temperature-jump transient 2D IR spectroscopy. Although electronic excited-state tautomerization has been widely studied, experimental work on the ground electronic state, most relevant to chemistry and biology, is lacking. Using 2D IR spectroscopy, lactam and lactim tautomers of 6-chloro-2-pyridone and 2-chloro-4-pyridone are unambiguously identified by their unique cross-peak patterns. Monitoring the correlated exponential relaxation of these signals in response to a laser temperature jump provides a direct measurement of the nanosecond tautomerization kinetics. By studying the temperature, concentration, solvent, and pH dependence, we extract a thermodynamic and kinetic characterization and conclude that the tautomerization proceeds through a two-state concerted mechanism. We find that the intramolecular proton transfer is mediated by bridging water molecules and the reaction barrier is dictated by the release of a proton from pyridone, as would be expected for an efficient Grothuss-type proton transfer mechanism.

Simulating Crystal Structure, Acidity, Proton Distribution, and IR Spectra of Acid Zeolite HSAPO-34: A High Accuracy Study.

Project description:It is a challenge to characterize the acid properties of microporous materials in either experiments or theory. This study presents the crystal structure, acid site, acid strength, proton siting, and IR spectra of HSAPO-34 from the SCAN + rVV10 method. The results indicate: the crystal structures of various acid sites of HSAPO-34 deviate from the space group of R3¯; the acid strength inferred from the DPE value likely decreases with the proton binding sites at O(2), O(4), O(1),and O(3), contrary to the stability order in view of the internal energy; the calculated ensemble-averaged DPE is about 1525 kJ/mol at 673.15 K; and the proton siting and the proton distribution are distinctly influenced by the temperature: at low temperatures, the proton is predominantly located at O(3), while it prefers O(2) at high temperatures, and the proton at O(4) assumedly has the least distribution at 273.15-773.15 K. In line with the neutron diffraction experiment, a correction factor of 0.979 is needed to correct for the calculated hydroxyl stretching vibration (ν(O-H)) of HSAPO-34. It seems that the SCAN meta-GGA method, compensating for some drawbacks of the GGA method, could provide satisfying results regarding the acid properties of HSAPO-34.

Metalloporphyrin mixed-valence π-cation radicals: [Fe(oxoOEC(•/2))(Cl)]2SbCl6, structure, magnetic properties, and near-IR spectra.

Project description:The preparation and characterization of a mixed-valence π-cation radical derivative of an iron(III) oxochlorinato complex is reported. The new complex has been synthesized by the one-electron oxidation of a pair of [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)] molecules to form the dimeric cation [Fe(oxoOEC)(Cl)]₂⁺. The cation has been characterized by X-ray analysis, Mössbauer spectroscopy, UV-vis and near-IR spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements from 6-300 K. The crystal structure shows that the two rings have a smaller overlap area than those of the formally related nickel and copper octaethylporphinate derivatives, reflecting the larger steric congestion at the periphery in part of the oxochlorin rings. The Mössbauer data is consistent with two equivalent iron(III) centers. The unpaired electron is delocalized over the two oxochlorin rings and mediates a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the high-spin iron(III) centers.
