Protonated Ethylene Carbonate: A Highly Resonance-Stabilized Cation.

ABSTRACT: Salts containing the monoprotonated ethylene carbonate species of were obtained by reacting it with the superacidic systems XF/MF₅ (X=H, D; M=Sb, As). The salts in terms of [C₃ H₅ O₃ ]⁺ [SbF₆ ]^- , [C₃ H₅ O₃ ]⁺ [AsF₆ ]^- and [C₃ H₄ DO₃ ]⁺ [AsF₆ ]^- were characterized by low-temperature infrared and Raman spectroscopy. In order to generate the diprotonated species of ethylene carbonate, an excess of Lewis acid was used. However, this only led to the formation of [C₃ H₅ O₃ ]⁺ [Sb₂ F₁₁ ]^- , which was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. Quantum chemical calculations on the B3LYP/aug-cc-PVTZ level of theory were carried out for the [C₃ H₅ O₃ ]⁺ cation and the results were compared with the experimental data. A Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis revealed sp² hybridization of each atom belonging to the CO₃ moiety, thus containing a remarkably delocalized 6π-electron system. The delocalization is confirmed by a ¹³ C NMR-spectroscopic study of [C₃ H₅ O₃ ]⁺ [SbF₆ ]^- .

Structure-Property Relationships of Poly(ethylene carbonate) and Poly(propylene carbonate).

Project description:Conformational characteristics of poly(ethylene carbonate) (PEC) and poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) have been revealed via molecular orbital (MO) calculations and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on model compounds with the same bond sequences as those of the polycarbonates. Bond conformations derived from the MO calculations on the models were in exact agreement with those from the NMR experiments. Both PEC and PPC were indicated to adopt distorted conformations including a number of gauche bonds and cover themselves with negative charges, thus failing to form a regular packing and remaining amorphous. The MO data were applied to the refined rotational isomeric state (RIS) calculations to yield configurational properties such as the characteristic ratio, its temperature coefficient, the configurational entropy, and average geometrical parameters of unperturbed PEC and PPC chains. In the RIS calculations on PPC, the regio- and stereosequences were generated according to the Bernoulli trial or Markov stochastic process. In consequence, it was shown that the configurational properties of PPC do not depend significantly on its regio- and stereoregularities. The internal energy contribution to rubberlike chain elasticity, calculated from the temperature coefficient of the characteristic ratio, has indicated the possibility that PEC and PPC will behave as elastomers. The practical applications and potential utilizations of the polycarbonates are discussed on the basis of the conformational characteristics and configurational properties.

Highly fluorescent hybrid Au/Ag nanoclusters stabilized with poly(ethylene glycol)- and zwitterion-modified thiolate ligands.

Project description:We report a simple strategy to grow highly fluorescing, near-infrared-emitting nanoclusters (NCs) made of bimetallic Au/Ag cores, surface capped with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and various monothiol ligands. The ligands include short chain aliphatic monothiols, which yields hydrophobic NCs, and poly(ethylene glycol)- or zwitterion-appended monothiols, which yield NCs that are readily dispersible in buffer media. The reaction uses well-defined triphenylphosphine-protected Au11 clusters (as precursors) that are reacted with Ag(i)-thiolate complexes. The prepared materials are small (diameter <2 nm, as characterized by TEM) with emission peak at 730-760 nm and long lifetime (∼8-12 μs). The quantum yield measured for these materials in both hydrophobic and hydrophilic dispersions is ∼40%. High-magnification dark field STEM and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements show the presence of both metal atoms in the core, with measured binding energies that agree with reported values for nanocluster materials. The NIR emission combined with high quantum yield, small size, colloidal stability in buffer media and ease of surface functionalization afforded by the coating, make these materials suitable for investigating fundamental questions and potentially useful for biological sensing and imaging applications.

Design of highly stabilized beta-hairpin peptides through cation-pi interactions of lysine and n-methyllysine with an aromatic pocket.

Project description:Two tryptophan residues were incorporated on one face of a beta-hairpin peptide to form an aromatic pocket that interacts with a lysine or N-methylated lysine via cation-pi interactions. The two tryptophan residues were found to pack against the lysine side chain forming an aromatic pocket similar to those observed in trimethylated lysine receptor proteins. Thermal analysis of methylated lysine variant hairpin peptides revealed an increase in thermal stability as the degree of methylation was increased, resulting in the most thermally stable beta-hairpin reported to date.

Palladium-catalyzed allylic etherification of phenols with vinyl ethylene carbonate

Project description:The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative reactions of phenols and vinyl ethylene carbonate to produce allylic aryl ethers under mild conditions have been established. Adopting an inexpensive PdCl2(dppf) catalyst promotes the efficient conversion of phenols to the corresponding allylic aryl ethers via the formation of a new C-O bond in good isolated yields with complete regioselectivities, acceptable functional group tolerance and operational simplicity. The robust procedure could be completed smoothly by conducting a scaled-up reaction with comparable efficiency to afford the target product.

Intrafibrillar mineralization of type I collagen with calcium carbonate and strontium carbonate induced by polyelectrolyte-cation complexes.

Project description:Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), possessing excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoconductivity and superior biodegradability, may serve as an alternative to hydroxyapatite (HAp), the natural inorganic component of bone and dentin. Intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen with CaCO3 was achieved through the polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILP) process for at least 2 days. This study aims to propose a novel pathway for rapid intrafibrillar mineralization with CaCO3 by sequential application of the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer and polyaspartic acid (pAsp)-Ca suspension. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements, atomic force microscopy/Kelvin probe force microscopy (AFM/KPFM), and three-dimensional stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (3D STORM) demonstrated that the carbonate-bicarbonate buffer significantly decreased the surface potential of collagen and CO32-/HCO3- ions could attach to collagen fibrils via hydrogen bonds. The electropositive pAsp-Ca complexes and free Ca2+ ions are attracted to and interact with CO32-/HCO3- ions through electrostatic attractions to form amorphous calcium carbonate that crystallizes gradually. Moreover, like CaCO3, strontium carbonate (SrCO3) can deposit inside the collagen fibrils through this pathway. The CaCO3-mineralized collagen gels exhibited better biocompatibility and cell proliferation ability than SrCO3. This study provides a feasible strategy for rapid collagen mineralization with CaCO3 and SrCO3, as well as elucidating the tissue engineering of CaCO3-based biomineralized materials.

A Miniature Protein Stabilized by a Cation-π Interaction Network.

Project description:The design of folded miniature proteins is predicated on establishing noncovalent interactions that direct the self-assembly of discrete thermostable tertiary structures. In this work, we describe how a network of cation-π interactions present in proteins containing "WSXWS motifs" can be emulated to stabilize the core of a miniature protein. This 19-residue protein sequence recapitulates a set of interdigitated arginine and tryptophan residues that stabilize a distinctive β-strand:loop:PPII-helix topology. Validation of the compact fold determined by NMR was carried out by mutagenesis of the cation-π network and by comparison to the corresponding disulfide-bridged structure. These results support the involvement of a coordinated set of cation-π interactions that stabilize the tertiary structure.

Derepression of ethylene-stabilized transcription factors (EIN3/EIL1) mediates jasmonate and ethylene signaling synergy in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Jasmonate (JA) and ethylene (ET) are two major plant hormones that synergistically regulate plant development and tolerance to necrotrophic fungi. Both JA and ET induce the expression of several pathogenesis-related genes, while blocking either signaling pathway abolishes the induction of these genes by JA and ET alone or in combination. However, the molecular basis of JA/ET coaction and signaling interdependency is largely unknown. Here, we report that two Arabidopsis ET-stabilized transcription factors (EIN3 and EIL1) integrate ET and JA signaling in the regulation of gene expression, root development, and necrotrophic pathogen defense. Further studies reveal that JA enhances the transcriptional activity of EIN3/EIL1 by removal of JA-Zim domain (JAZ) proteins, which physically interact with and repress EIN3/EIL1. In addition, we find that JAZ proteins recruit an RPD3-type histone deacetylase (HDA6) as a corepressor that modulates histone acetylation, represses EIN3/EIL1-dependent transcription, and inhibits JA signaling. Our studies identify EIN3/EIL1 as a key integration node whose activation requires both JA and ET signaling, and illustrate transcriptional derepression as a common mechanism to integrate diverse signaling pathways in the regulation of plant development and defense.

Highly effective transformation of methyl phenyl carbonate to diphenyl carbonate with recyclable Pb nanocatalyst.

Project description:Diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is a type of versatile industrial chemical, and the disproportionation of methyl phenyl carbonate (MPC) is a key step to produce DPC. However, the design and formulation of a catalyst for the efficient synthesis of DPC is a major challenge due to its small equilibrium constant. The support material is a critical factor influencing the performance of Pb nanocatalysts. Thus, a series of Pb-based catalysts over MgO, ZrO2, SiO2, TiO2 and Al2O3 were prepared to investigate the effect of the support materials on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performances for the conversion of MPC to effectively synthesize DPC. The catalysts were well characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, XPS, ICP-OES, H2-TPR, Py-IR and NH3-TPD. The results showed that the nature of the support obviously affected the structural properties and catalytic performances, and Pb was dispersed better on SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2 and MgO than on Al2O3, and showed stronger metal-support interaction over MgO and ZrO2. The activity results revealed that PbO/MgO and PbO/ZrO2 exhibited higher catalytic activities because they contained higher Pb dispersion and more Lewis acid sites, and the catalytic activities followed the order PbO/MgO > PbO/ZrO2 > PbO/SiO2 > PbO/Al2O3 > PbO/TiO2. On the contrary, PbO/MgO and PbO/ZrO2 exhibited better reusability due to strong interaction between the highly dispersed Pb and the supports, and the activity decrease in the case of PbO/SiO2, PbO/Al2O3 and PbO/TiO2 mainly resulted from the Pb leaching loss. This work would contribute to exploiting novel catalytic materials in a wide range of applications for the efficient synthesis of organic carbonates.

Long-term stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate-an ink for bio-inspired 3D printing.

Project description:Biominerals formed by organisms in the course of biomineralization often demonstrate complex morphologies despite their single-crystalline nature. This is achieved owing to the crystallization via a predeposited amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) phase, a precursor that is particularly widespread in biominerals. Inspired by this natural strategy, we used robocasting, an additive manufacturing three-dimensional (3D) printing technique, for printing 3D objects from novel long-term, Mg-stabilized ACC pastes with high solids loading. We demonstrated, for the first time, that the ACC remains stable for at least a couple of months, even after printing. Crystallization, if desired, occurs only after the 3D object is already formed and at temperatures significantly lower than those of common postprinting sintering. We also examined the effects different organic binders have on the crystallization, the morphology, and the final amount of incorporated Mg. This novel bio-inspired method may pave the way for a new bio-inspired route to low-temperature 3D printing of ceramic materials for a multitude of applications.
