Converting non-Mesogenic to Mesogenic Stacking of Amino-s-Triazine-Based Dendrons with p-CN Phenyl Unit by Eliminating Peripheral Dipole.

ABSTRACT: Three new amino-s-triazine-based dendrons, 1a, 1b, and 1c, containing an aryl-CN moiety in the dendritic skeleton were prepared in 72-81% yields (1a: R¹ = - N(n-C₈H₁₇)₂, R² = n-OC₈H₁₇, 1b: R¹ = R² = - N(n-C₈H₁₇)₂, 1c: R¹ = - N(n-C₈H₁₇)₂, R² = - N(n-C₄H₉)₂). Dendrons 1a with N(n-C₈H₁₇)₂ and n-OC₈H₁₇ peripheral substituents, surprisingly, did not show any mesogenic phase during the thermal process. However, non-mesogenic 1a can be converted to mesogenic 1b or 1c by eliminating the peripheral dipole arising from the alkoxy substituent; dendron 1b only comprising the same N(n-C₈H₁₇)₂ peripheral groups showed a ~25 °C mesogenic range on heating and ~108 °C mesogenic range on cooling. In contrast, dendron 1c possessing different N(n-C_mH_2m+1)₂ (m = 8 versus m = 4) peripheral units, having similar stacking as 1b, exhibited a columnar phase on thermal treatment, but its mesogenic range (~9 and ~66 °C on heating and cooling, respectively) was much narrower than that of 1b, attributed to 1c's less flexible alkyl chains in the peripheral part of dendron. Dendron 1a with the alkoxy substituent in the peripheral skeleton, creating additional dipole correspondingly, thus, leads to the dendritic molecules having a non-mesogenic stacking. Without the peripheral dipole for intermolecular side-by-side interaction, dendrons 1b and 1c exhibit a columnar phase on thermal treatment because of the vibration from the peripheral alkyl chain.

Modification of Magnetite Nanoparticles with Triazine-Based Dendrons and Their Application as Drug-Transporting Systems.

Project description:The following research aims at the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with triazine-based dendrons and the application of the obtained materials as effective sorptive materials dedicated to acidic bioactive compounds. The adopted synthetic approach involved: (1) the synthesis of nanosized Fe3O4 particles via classic co-precipitation method, (2) the introduction of amine groups on their surface leading to materials' precursor, and (3) the final synthesis of branched triazine-based dendrons on the support surface by an iterative reaction between cyanuric chloride (CC) and piperazine (p) or diethylenetriamine (DETA) via nucleophilic substitution. The characterized materials were tested for their adsorptive properties towards folic acid, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid, and vancomycin, showing high adsorption capacities varying in the ranges of 53.33-401.61, 75.82-223.71, and 68.17-132.45 mg g-1, respectively. The formed material-drug complexes were also characterized for the drug-delivery potential, performed as in vitro release studies at pH 2.0 and 7.4, which mimics the physiological conditions. The release profiles showed that the proposed materials are able to deliver up to 95.2% of the drugs within 48 h, which makes them efficient candidates for further biomedical applications.

Bis(2-phenyl-4,6-di-2-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine-?N,N,N)ruthenium(II) bis(hexa-fluoridophosphate).

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ru(C(19)H(13)N(5))(2)](PF(6))(2), consists of an Ru(II) complex cation and two hexa-fluoridophosphate anions. The Ru(II) atom is coordinated by three N atoms from the two outer pyridine and the central triazine rings of each of two tridentate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The ligands are approximately orthogonal to one another, with a dihedral angle of 88.34?(2)° between planes through the three six-membered rings of the two ligands. The pendant phenyl substituents are almost coplanar with the triazine rings to which they are bound, with dihedral angles of 5.41?(9) and 14.90?(10)°. This is reflected in the previously reported photophysical results with an increased lifetime of the triplet metal to ligand charge transfer ((3)MLCT) excited state [Fang, Taylor, Hanan, Loiseau, Passalacqua, Campagna, Nierengarten & Van Dorsselaer (2002). J. Am. Chem. Soc.124, 7912-7913].

DNA Dendrons as Agents for Intracellular Delivery.

Project description:Herein, a method for synthesizing and utilizing DNA dendrons to deliver biomolecules to living cells is reported. Inspired by high-density nucleic acid nanostructures, such as spherical nucleic acids, we hypothesized that small clusters of nucleic acids, in the form of DNA dendrons, could be conjugated to biomolecules and facilitate their cellular uptake. We show that DNA dendrons are internalized by 90% of dendritic cells after just 1 h of treatment, with a >20-fold increase in DNA delivery per cell compared with their linear counterparts. This effect is due to the interaction of the DNA dendrons with scavenger receptor-A on cell surfaces, which results in their rapid endocytosis. Moreover, when conjugated to peptides at a single attachment site, dendrons enhance the cellular delivery and activity of both the model ovalbumin 1 peptide and the therapeutically relevant thymosin alpha 1 peptide. These findings show that high-density, multivalent DNA ligands play a significant role in dictating cellular uptake of biomolecules and consequently will expand the scope of deliverable biomolecules to cells. Indeed, DNA dendrons are poised to become agents for the cellular delivery of many molecular and nanoscale materials.

Intimate interactions with carbonyl groups: dipole-dipole or n??*?

Project description:Amide carbonyl groups in proteins can engage in C?O···C?O and C-X···C?O interactions, where X is a halogen. The putative involvement of four poles suggests that these interactions are primarily dipolar. Our survey of crystal structures with a C-X···C?O contact that is short (i.e., within the sum of the X and C van der Waals radii) revealed no preferred C-X···C?O dihedral angle. Moreover, we found that structures with a short X(-)···C?O contact display the signatures of an n??* interaction. We conclude that intimate interactions with carbonyl groups do not require a dipole.

Salts of HCN-Cyanide Aggregates: [CN(HCN)2 ]- and [CN(HCN)3 ].

Project description:Although pure hydrogen cyanide can spontaneously polymerize or even explode, when initiated by small amounts of bases (e.g. CN- ), the reaction of liquid HCN with [WCC]CN (WCC=weakly coordinating cation=Ph4 P, Ph3 PNPPh3 =PNP) was investigated. Depending on the cation, it was possible to extract salts containing the formal dihydrogen tricyanide [CN(HCN)2 ]- and trihydrogen tetracyanide ions [CN(HCN)3 ]- from liquid HCN when a fast crystallization was carried out at low temperatures. X-ray structure elucidation revealed hydrogen-bridged linear [CN(HCN)2 ]- and Y-shaped [CN(HCN)3 ]- molecular ions in the crystal. Both anions can be considered members of highly labile cyanide-HCN solvates of the type [CN(HCN)n ]- (n=1, 2, 3 …) as well as formal polypseudohalide ions.

Liquid Crystalline ?-Conjugated Copolymers Bearing a Pyrimidine Type Mesogenic Group

Project description:Phenylene-thiophene-based liquid crystalline ?-conjugated copolymers bearing mesogenic groups as side chains were synthesized via a Stille polycondensation reaction and confirmed to exhibit a nematic liquid crystal phase at appropriate temperatures. The formation of a nematic phase, but not a smectic phase indicates cooperation of the main chain and side chain in the formation of a nematic main-chain/side-chain liquid crystal phase. The generation of polarons in the main chain as charge carriers during in-situ vapor doping of iodine is confirmed to increase with a doping progresses, exhibiting Dysonian paramagnetic behavior typical of conductive polymers.

Di-?-adipato-??O¹:O?-bis-{aqua-[5,6-di-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazine-?²N²,N³]copper(II)}.

Project description:In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Cu?(C?H?O?)?(C??H??N?)?(H?O)?] or [Cu?(PDPT)?(C?H?O?)?(H?O)?] (PDPT = 3-(2-pyrid-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine, the Cu atom displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment with the basal plane occupied by two PDPT N atoms and two O atoms from different adipate dianions while a water mol-ecule is located at the apical position. Of the two water H atoms, one participates in an intra-molecular hydrogen bond whereas the second participates in an inter-molecular hydrogen bond, which leads to the formation of a chain along [010].

Stable 2D anti-ferromagnetically coupled fluorenyl radical dendrons.

Project description:We report the first class of stable, two-dimensional (2D) anti-ferromagnetically coupled dendritic polyradicaloids. A kinetically blocked fluorenyl radical was used to build up the first and second generation dendrons FR-G1 and FR-G2 containing three and seven fluorenyl units, respectively. The neighboring fluorenyl radicals in FR-G1 and FR-G2 show moderate anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction, resulting in a doublet and quartet ground state, respectively, with a small doublet-quartet energy gap. From FR-G1 to FR-G2, the energy gap decreased and the two-photon absorption was enhanced owing to more extended 2D π-conjugation. Both compounds showed multiple redox waves due to their polyradical character.

Interstrand dipole-dipole interactions can stabilize the collagen triple helix.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of collagen is composed of GlyXaaYaa repeats. A prevailing paradigm maintains that stable collagen triple helices form when (2S)-proline (Pro) or Pro derivatives that prefer the C(?)-endo ring pucker are in the Xaa position and Pro derivatives that prefer the C(?)-exo ring pucker are in the Yaa position. Anomalously, an amino acid sequence in an invertebrate collagen has (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp), a C(?)-exo-puckered Pro derivative, in the Xaa position. In certain contexts, triple helices with Hyp in the Xaa position are now known to be hyperstable. Most intriguingly, the sequence (GlyHypHyp)(n) forms a more stable triple helix than does the sequence (GlyProHyp)(n). Competing theories exist for the physicochemical basis of the hyperstability of (GlyHypHyp)(n) triple helices. By synthesizing and analyzing triple helices with different C(?)-exo-puckered proline derivatives in the Xaa and Yaa positions, we conclude that interstrand dipole-dipole interactions are the primary determinant of their additional stability. These findings provide a new framework for understanding collagen stability.
