Hydrogen-Bonded Structure of Water in the Loop of Anchored Polyrotaxane Chain Controlled by Anchoring Density

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen-bonded network of water surrounding polymers is expected to be one of the most relevant factors affecting biocompatibility, while the specific hydrogen-bonded structure of water responsible for biocompatibility is still under debate. Here we study the hydrogen-bonded structure of water in a loop-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) chain in a polyrotaxane using synchrotron soft X-ray emission spectroscopy. By changing the density of anchoring molecules, hydrogen-bonded structure of water confined in the poly(ethylene glycol) loop was identified. The XES profile of the confined water indicates the absence of the low energy lone-pair peak, probably because the limited space of the polymer loop entropically inhibits the formation of tetrahedrally coordinated water. The volume of the confined water can be changed by the anchoring density, which implies the ability to control the biocompatibility of loop-shaped polymers.

Supercritical Water is not Hydrogen Bonded.

Project description:Thinking about water is inextricably linked to hydrogen bonds, which are highly directional in character and determine the unique structure of water, in particular its tetrahedral H-bond network. Here, we assess if this common connotation also holds for supercritical water. We employ extensive ab?initio molecular dynamics simulations to systematically monitor the evolution of the H-bond network mode of water from room temperature, where it is the hallmark of its fluctuating three-dimensional network structure, to supercritical conditions. Our simulations reveal that the oscillation period required for H-bond vibrations to occur exceeds the lifetime of H-bonds in supercritical water by far. Instead, the corresponding low-frequency intermolecular vibrations of water pairs as seen in supercritical water are found to be well represented by isotropic van-der-Waals interactions only. Based on these findings, we conclude that water in its supercritical phase is not a H-bonded fluid.

Naloxegol hydrogen oxalate displaying a hydrogen-bonded layer structure.

Project description:In the salt (5α,6α)-6-[(2,5,8,11,14,17,20-hepta-oxadocosan-22-yl)-oxy]-3,14-dihy-droxy-17-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-4,5-ep-oxy-morphinan-17-ium hydrogen oxalate, C34H54NO11+·C2HO4- the polyether unit of the naloxegol cation adopts the shape of a squashed open letter 'O'. In the crystal, the hydrogen oxalate anions are linked into a chain by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Each naloxegol unit is hydrogen bonded to three hydrogen oxalate ions via two O-H⋯O and one N-H⋯O inter-actions. The resulting hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional layer structure is 3,5-connected and has the 3,5 L50 topology.

Hydrogen-bonded frameworks for molecular structure determination.

Project description:Single crystal X-ray diffraction is arguably the most definitive method for molecular structure determination, but the inability to grow suitable single crystals can frustrate conventional X-ray diffraction analysis. We report herein an approach to molecular structure determination that relies on a versatile toolkit of guanidinium organosulfonate hydrogen-bonded host frameworks that form crystalline inclusion compounds with target molecules in a single-step crystallization, complementing the crystalline sponge method that relies on diffusion of the target into the cages of a metal-organic framework. The peculiar properties of the host frameworks enable rapid stoichiometric inclusion of a wide range of target molecules with full occupancy, typically without disorder and accompanying solvent, affording well-refined structures. Moreover, anomalous scattering by the framework sulfur atoms enables reliable assignment of absolute configuration of stereogenic centers. An ever-expanding library of organosulfonates provides a toolkit of frameworks for capturing specific target molecules for their structure determination.

Molecular orbital analysis of the hydrogen bonded water dimer.

Project description:As an essential interaction in nature, hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in many material formations and biological processes, requiring deeper understanding. Here, using density functional theory and post-Hartree-Fock methods, we reveal two hydrogen bonding molecular orbitals crossing the hydrogen-bond's O and H atoms in the water dimer. Energy decomposition analysis also shows a non-negligible contribution of the induction term. Our finding sheds light on the essential understanding of hydrogen bonding in ice, liquid water, functional materials and biological systems.

Modest stabilization by most hydrogen-bonded side-chain interactions in membrane proteins.

Project description:Understanding the energetics of molecular interactions is fundamental to all of the central quests of structural biology including structure prediction and design, mapping evolutionary pathways, learning how mutations cause disease, drug design, and relating structure to function. Hydrogen-bonding is widely regarded as an important force in a membrane environment because of the low dielectric constant of membranes and a lack of competition from water. Indeed, polar residue substitutions are the most common disease-causing mutations in membrane proteins. Because of limited structural information and technical challenges, however, there have been few quantitative tests of hydrogen-bond strength in the context of large membrane proteins. Here we show, by using a double-mutant cycle analysis, that the average contribution of eight interhelical side-chain hydrogen-bonding interactions throughout bacteriorhodopsin is only 0.6 kcal mol(-1). In agreement with these experiments, we find that 4% of polar atoms in the non-polar core regions of membrane proteins have no hydrogen-bond partner and the lengths of buried hydrogen bonds in soluble proteins and membrane protein transmembrane regions are statistically identical. Our results indicate that most hydrogen-bond interactions in membrane proteins are only modestly stabilizing. Weak hydrogen-bonding should be reflected in considerations of membrane protein folding, dynamics, design, evolution and function.

Supramolecular anion recognition in water: synthesis of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular frameworks.

Project description:The interaction of tetratopic amidinium-containing receptors with terephthalate anions leads to porous framework materials assembled through charge-assisted hydrogen bonds. The frameworks form in good yield within minutes in water at room temperature, but no framework material is obtained if other anions (Cl-, Br-, NO3-, SO42- or isophthalate2-) are used in place of terephthalate. Two forms of the framework can be prepared: one with a connected pore network, and a more dense phase with discrete voids. We demonstrate that these are the kinetic and thermodynamic products, respectively. Either framework can be prepared independently and can be converted to the other form in response to stimuli. Furthermore, the frameworks can be controllably disassembled and reassembled in response to acid/base triggers suggesting that this new class of materials may have applications in the selective encapsulation and release of guests.

Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework Structure: A Metal-Free Electrocatalyst for the Evolution of Hydrogen.

Project description:The hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) have gained significant attention due to their various alluring applications in the fascinating field of supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we report the electrocatalytic activity of HOFs toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by utilizing the molecular adduct of cyanuric and trithiocyanuric acid with various organic substrates (melamine and 4,4'-bipyridine). Both the experimental and theoretical findings provide insights and validate the electrocatalytic activity toward HER applications. This work contributes significantly to designing novel highly efficient metal-free HOF-based electrocatalysts for the HER.

Neutron structure of human carbonic anhydrase II: a hydrogen-bonded water network "switch" is observed between pH 7.8 and 10.0.

Project description:The neutron structure of wild-type human carbonic anhydrase II at pH 7.8 has been determined to 2.0 Å resolution. Detailed analysis and comparison to the previously determined structure at pH 10.0 show important differences in the protonation of key catalytic residues in the active site as well as a rearrangement of the H-bonded water network. For the first time, a completed H-bonded network stretching from the Zn-bound solvent to the proton shuttling residue, His64, has been directly observed.

Hydrogen-bonded co-crystal structure of benzoic acid and zwitterionic l-proline.

Project description:The title compound [systematic name: benzoic acid-pyrrolidin-1-ium-2-carboxyl-ate (1/1)], C7H6O2·C5H9NO2, is an example of the application of non-centrosymmetric co-crystallization for the growth of a crystal containing a typically centrosymmetric component in a chiral space group. It co-crystallizes in the space group P212121 and contains benzoic acid and l-proline in equal proportions. The crystal structure exhibits chains of l-proline zwitterions capped by benzoic acid mol-ecules which form a C(5)[R33(11)] hydrogen-bonded network along [100]. The crystal structure is examined and compared to that of a similar co-crystal containing l-proline zwitterions and 4-amino-benzoic acid.

Polarization Effects for Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes of Substituted Phenols with Water and Chloride Ion.

Project description:Variations in hydrogen-bond strengths are investigated for complexes of nine para-substituted phenols (XPhOH) with a water molecule and chloride ion. Results from ab initio HF/6-311+G(d, p) and MP2/6-311+G(d, p)//HF/6-311+G(d, p) calculations are compared with those from the OPLS-AA and OPLS/CM1A force fields. In the OPLS-AA model, the partial charges on the hydroxyl group of phenol are not affected by the choice of para substituent, while the use of CM1A charges in the OPLS/CM1A approach does provide charge redistribution. The ab initio calculations reveal a 2.0-kcal/mol range in hydrogen-bond strengths for the XPhOH?OH(2) complexes in the order X = NO(2) > CN > CF(3) > Cl > F > H >OH >CH(3) > NH(2). The pattern is not well-reproduced with OPLS-AA, which also compresses the variation to 0.7 kcal/mol. However, the OPLS/CM1A results are in good accord with the ab initio findings for both the ordering and range, 2.3 kcal/mol. The hydrogen bonding is, of course, weaker with XPhOH as acceptor, the order for X is largely inverted, and the range is reduced to ca. 1.0 kcal/mol. The substituent effects are found to be much greater for the chloride ion complexes with a range of 11 kcal/mol. For quantitative treatment of such strong ion-molecule interactions the need for fully polarizable force fields is demonstrated.
