Project description:Confinement can result in unusual properties leading to new, exciting discoveries in the nano-realm. One such consequence of confinement at the nanoscale is extremally large isotopic fractionation, especially at sub-van der Waals distances. Herein, on the example of chlorine isotope effects, we show that at conditions of nanoencapsulation these effects may reach values by far larger than observed for the bulk environment, which in the case of nanotubes can lead to practical applications (e.g., in isotopic enrichment) and needs to be considered in analytical procedures that employ nanomaterials.

Project description:The ionic liquid (IL) trihalogen monoanions [N2221 ][X3 ]- and [N2221 ][XY2 ]- ([N2221 ]+ =triethylmethylammonium, X=Cl, Br, I, Y=Cl, Br) were investigated electrochemically via temperature dependent conductance and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The polyhalogen monoanions were measured both as neat salts and as double salts in 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium trifluoromethane-sulfonate ([BMP][OTf], [X3 ]- /[XY2 ]- 0.5 M). Lighter IL trihalogen monoanions displayed higher conductivities than their heavier homologues, with [Cl3 ]- being 1.1 and 3.7 times greater than [Br3 ]- and [I3 ]- , respectively. The addition of [BMP][OTf] reduced the conductivity significantly. Within the group of polyhalogen monoanions, the oxidation potential develops in the series [Cl3 ]- >[BrCl2 ]- >[Br3 ]- >[IBr2 ]- >[ICl2 ]- >[I3 ]- . The redox potential of the interhalogen monoanions was found to be primarily determined by the central halogen, I in [ICl2 ]- and [IBr2 ]- , and Br in [BrCl2 ]- . Additionally, tetrafluorobromate(III) ([N2221 ]+ [BrF4 ]- ) was analyzed via CV in MeCN at 0 °C, yielding a single reversible redox process ([BrF2 ]- /[BrF4 ]- ).

Project description:Postsynthetic chemical transformations of colloidal nanocrystals, such as ion-exchange reactions, provide an avenue to compositional fine-tuning or to otherwise inaccessible materials and morphologies. While cation-exchange is facile and commonplace, anion-exchange reactions have not received substantial deployment. Here we report fast, low-temperature, deliberately partial, or complete anion-exchange in highly luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals of cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I). By adjusting the halide ratios in the colloidal nanocrystal solution, the bright photoluminescence can be tuned over the entire visible spectral region (410-700 nm) while maintaining high quantum yields of 20-80% and narrow emission line widths of 10-40 nm (from blue to red). Furthermore, fast internanocrystal anion-exchange is demonstrated, leading to uniform CsPb(Cl/Br)3 or CsPb(Br/I)3 compositions simply by mixing CsPbCl3, CsPbBr3, and CsPbI3 nanocrystals in appropriate ratios.

Project description:We characterized the stationary points along the nucleophilic substitution (SN2), oxidative insertion (OI), halogen abstraction (XA), and proton transfer (PT) product channels of M- + CH3X (M = Cu, Ag, Au; X = F, Cl, Br, I) reactions using the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. In general, the reaction energies follow the order of PT > XA > SN2 > OI. The OI channel that results in oxidative insertion complex [CH3-M-X]- is most exothermic, and can be formed through a front-side attack of M on the C-X bond via a high transition state OxTS or through a SN2-mediated halogen rearrangement path via a much lower transition state invTS. The order of OxTS > invTS is inverted when changing M- to Pd, a d10 metal, because the symmetry of their HOMO orbital is different. The back-side attack SN2 pathway proceeds via typical Walden-inversion transition state that connects to pre- and post-reaction complexes. For X = Cl/Br/I, the invSN2-TS's are, in general, submerged. The shape of this M- + CH3X SN2 PES is flatter as compared to that of a main-group base like F- + CH3X, whose PES has a double-well shape. When X = Br/I, a linear halogen-bonded complex [CH3-X∙··M]- can be formed as an intermediate upon the front-side attachment of M on the halogen atom X, and it either dissociates to CH3 + MX- through halogen abstraction or bends the C-X-M angle to continue the back-side SN2 path. Natural bond orbital analysis shows a polar covalent M-X bond is formed within oxidative insertion complex [CH3-M-X]-, whereas a noncovalent M-X halogen-bond interaction exists for the [CH3-X∙··M]- complex. This work explores competing channels of the M- + CH3X reaction in the gas phase and the potential energy surface is useful in understanding the dynamic behavior of the title and analogous reactions.

Project description:X-ray structures permit theoretical study of Cl(-) permeation along bacterial ClC Cl(-) pores. We determined the lowest energy curvilinear pathway, identified anion-coordinating amino acids, and calculated the electrostatic potential energy profiles. We find that all four bacterial ClC Cl(-) crystal structures correspond to closed states. E148 and S107 side chains form steric barriers on both sides of the crystal binding site in the StClC wild-type and EcClC wild-type crystals; both the EcClC(E148A) and EcClC(E148Q) mutants are blocked at the S107 site. We studied the effect that mutating the charge of some strongly conserved pore-lining amino acids has on the electrostatic potential energy profiles. When E148 is neutralized, it creates an electrostatic trap, binding the ion near midmembrane. This suggests a possible electrostatic mechanism for controlling anion flow: neutralize E148, displace the side chain of E148 from the pore pathway to relieve the steric barrier, then trap the anion at midmembrane, and finally either deprotonate E148 and block the pore (pore closure) or bring a second Cl(-) into the pore to promote anion flow (pore conductance). Side-chain displacement may arise by competition for the binding site between the oxygens of E148 and the anion moving down the electrostatic energy gradient. We also find that the charge state of E111 and E113 may electrostatically control anion conductance and occupancy of the binding site within the cytoplasmic pore.

Project description:We show that the 2-phosphaethynolate anion, OCP-, is a simple and efficient catalyst for the cyclotrimerization of isocyanates. This process proceeds step-wise and involves five-membered heterocycles, namely 1,4,2-diazaphospholidine-3,5-dionide anions and spiro-phosphoranides as detectable intermediates, both of which were also found to be involved in the catalytic conversion. These species can be considered as adducts of a phosphide anion with two and four isocyanate molecules, respectively, demonstrating that the OCP- anion acts as a formal "P-" source. The interconversion between these anionic species was found to be reversible, allowing them to serve as reservoirs for unique phosphorus-based living-catalysts for isocyanate trimerization.

Project description:The Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC) drives salt reabsorption in the kidney and plays a decisive role in balancing electrolytes and blood pressure. Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics inhibit NCC-mediated renal salt retention and have been cornerstones for treating hypertension and edema since the 1950s. Here we determine NCC co-structures individually complexed with the thiazide drug hydrochlorothiazide, and two thiazide-like drugs chlorthalidone and indapamide, revealing that they fit into an orthosteric site and occlude the NCC ion translocation pathway. Aberrant NCC activation by the WNKs-SPAK kinase cascade underlies Familial Hyperkalemic Hypertension, but it remains unknown whether/how phosphorylation transforms the NCC structure to accelerate ion translocation. We show that an intracellular amino-terminal motif of NCC, once phosphorylated, associates with the carboxyl-terminal domain, and together, they interact with the transmembrane domain. These interactions suggest a phosphorylation-dependent allosteric network that directly influences NCC ion translocation.

Project description:A theoretical study of the beryllium bonds in BeR2:C6X6 (R = H, F, Cl and X = H and F) has been carried out by means of MP2/aug'-cc-pVDZ computational methods. In addition, the ternary complexes BeR2:C6X6:Y- (Y = Cl and Br) have been analyzed. Geometric, energetic and electronic aspects of the complexes have been taken into account. All the parameters analyzed provide a clear indication of favorable cooperativity in both interactions observed, beryllium bond and aromatic ring:anion interaction.

Project description:In this work, we show that intramolecular hydrogen bonding can be used to stabilize tri-coordinated phosphane-gold(I) complexes. Two molecular structures of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid (L) coordinated to a gold(I) atom were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The linear L-Au-Br shows a standard linear coordination and dimerizes via hydrogen bonds of the carboxylic acid. Upon addition of two additional phosphane ligands the complex [L3Au]X is formed which is stabilized by three intramolecular -C(O)O-H … X hydrogen bonds as proven by the X-ray structure of the respective chlorido-complex. X-ray powder diffractograms suggest the same structure also for X- = Br- and I-.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00706-021-02843-2.

Project description:Many radioisotopes with potential medical applications are difficult to produce routinely, especially those on the proton-rich side of the valley of stability. Current production methods typically use light-ion (protons or deuteron) reactions on materials of similar mass to the target radioisotope, which limits the elemental target material available and may require the use of targets with poor thermal properties (as is the case for the production of radiobromine). These reactions may also create significant amounts of proton-rich decay products which require chemical separation from the desired product in a highly radioactive environment. A promising alternative method using heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions for the production of the medically relevant bromine radioisotopes 76Br (t1/2 = 16.2 h) and 77Br (t1/2 = 57.0 h) is presented. Heavy-ion beams of 28Si and 16O were used to bombard natural chromium and copper targets just above the Coulomb barrier at the University of Notre Dame's Nuclear Science Laboratory to produce these bromine and precursor radioisotopes by fusion-evaporation reactions. Production yields for these reactions were measured and compared to PACE4 calculations. In addition to using more robust targets for irradiation, a simple physical-chemical separation method is proposed that will lead to very high radiopurity yields. A summary of accelerator facility requirements needed for routine production of these radioisotopes is also presented.
