Direct observation of reversible bond homolysis by 2D EXSY NMR.

ABSTRACT: Bond homolysis is one of the most fundamental bond cleavage mechanisms. Thus, understanding of bond homolysis influences the development of a wide range of chemistry. Photolytic bond homolysis and its reverse process have been observed directly using time-resolved spectroscopy. However, direct observation of reversible bond homolysis remains elusive. Here, we report the direct observation of reversible Co-Co bond homolysis using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance exchange spectroscopy (2D EXSY NMR). The characterization of species involved in this homolysis is firmly supported by diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY NMR). The unambiguous characterization of the Co-Co bond homolysis process enabled us to study ligand steric and electronic factors that influence the strength of the Co-Co bond. Understanding of these factors will contribute to rational design of multimetallic complexes with desired physical properties or catalytic activity.

Reversible Homolysis of a Carbon-Carbon σ-Bond Enabled by Complexation-Induced Bond-Weakening.

Project description:A case study of catalytic carbon-carbon σ-bond homolysis is presented. The coordination of a redox-active Lewis acid catalyst reduces the bond-dissociation free energies of adjacent carbon-carbon σ-bonds, and this complexation-induced bond-weakening is used to effect reversible carbon-carbon bond homolysis. Stereochemical isomerization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropanes was investigated as a model reaction with a ruthenium (III/II) redox couple adopted for bond weakening. Results from our mechanistic investigation into the stereospecificity of the isomerization reaction are consistent with selective complexation-induced carbon-carbon bond homolysis. The ΔG‡ of catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions were estimated to be 14.4 and 40.0 kcal/mol, respectively with the computational method, (U)PBE0-D3/def2-TZVPP-SMD(toluene)//(U)B3LYP-D3/def2-SVP. We report this work as the first catalytic example where the complexation-induced bond-weakening effect is quantified through transition state analysis.

Quantitative Analysis of 2D EXSY NMR Spectra of Strongly Coupled Spin Systems in Transmembrane Exchange.

Project description:Solute translocation by membrane transport proteins is a vital biological process that can be tracked, on the sub-second timescale, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Fluorinated substrate analogues facilitate such studies because of high sensitivity of 19 F NMR and absence of background signals. Accurate extraction of translocation rate constants requires precise quantification of NMR signal intensities. This becomes complicated in the presence of J-couplings, cross-correlations, and nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE) that alter signal integrals through mechanisms unrelated to translocation. Geminal difluorinated motifs introduce strong and hard-to-quantify contributions from non-exchange effects, the nuanced nature of which makes them hard to integrate into data analysis methodologies. With analytical expressions not being available, numerical least squares fitting of theoretical models to 2D spectra emerges as the preferred quantification approach. For large spin systems with simultaneous coherent evolution, cross-relaxation, cross-correlation, conformational exchange, and membrane translocation between compartments with different viscosities, the only available simulation framework is Spinach. In this study, we demonstrate GLUT-1 dependent membrane transport of two model sugars featuring CF2 and CF2 CF2 fluorination motifs, with precise determination of translocation rate constants enabled by numerical fitting of 2D EXSY spectra. For spin systems and kinetic networks of this complexity, this was not previously tractable.

Electric fields drive bond homolysis.

Project description:Electric fields have been used to control and direct chemical reactions in biochemistry and enzymatic catalysis, yet directly applying external electric fields to activate reactions in bulk solution and to characterize them ex situ remains a challenge. Here we utilize the scanning tunneling microscope-based break-junction technique to investigate the electric field driven homolytic cleavage of the radical initiator 4-(methylthio)benzoic peroxyanhydride at ambient temperatures in bulk solution, without the use of co-initiators or photochemical activators. Through time-dependent ex situ quantification by high performance liquid chromatography using a UV-vis detector, we find that the electric field catalyzes the reaction. Importantly, we demonstrate that the reaction rate in a field increases linearly with the solvent dielectric constant. Using density functional theory calculations, we show that the applied electric field decreases the dissociation energy of the O-O bond and stabilizes the product relative to the reactant due to their different dipole moments.

Direct observation of single-molecule hydrogen-bond dynamics with single-bond resolution.

Project description:The hydrogen bond represents a fundamental interaction widely existing in nature, which plays a key role in chemical, physical and biochemical processes. However, hydrogen bond dynamics at the molecular level are extremely difficult to directly investigate. Here, in this work we address direct electrical measurements of hydrogen bond dynamics at the single-molecule and single-event level on the basis of the platform of molecular nanocircuits, where a quadrupolar hydrogen bonding system is covalently incorporated into graphene point contacts to build stable supramolecule-assembled single-molecule junctions. The dynamics of individual hydrogen bonds in different solvents at different temperatures are studied in combination with density functional theory. Both experimental and theoretical results consistently show a multimodal distribution, stemming from the stochastic rearrangement of the hydrogen bond structure mainly through intermolecular proton transfer and lactam-lactim tautomerism. This work demonstrates an approach of probing hydrogen bond dynamics with single-bond resolution, making an important contribution to broad fields beyond supramolecular chemistry.

Dynamic UltraFast 2D EXchange SpectroscopY (UF-EXSY) of hyperpolarized substrates.

Project description:In this work, we present a new ultrafast method for acquiring dynamic 2D EXchange SpectroscopY (EXSY) within a single acquisition. This technique reconstructs two-dimensional EXSY spectra from one-dimensional spectra based on the phase accrual during echo times. The Ultrafast-EXSY acquisition overcomes long acquisition times typically needed to acquire 2D NMR data by utilizing sparsity and phase dependence to dramatically undersample in the indirect time dimension. This allows for the acquisition of the 2D spectrum within a single shot. We have validated this method in simulations and hyperpolarized enzyme assay experiments separating the dehydration of pyruvate and lactate-to-pyruvate conversion. In a renal cell carcinoma cell (RCC) line, bidirectional exchange was observed. This new technique revealed decreased conversion of lactate-to-pyruvate with high expression of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), known to correlate with aggressive cancer phenotypes. We also showed feasibility of this technique in vivo in a RCC model where bidirectional exchange was observed for pyruvate-lactate, pyruvate-alanine, and pyruvate-hydrate and were resolved in time. Broadly, the technique is well suited to investigate the dynamics of multiple exchange pathways and applicable to hyperpolarized substrates where chemical exchange has shown great promise across a range of disciplines.

Direct observation of reversible electronic energy transfer involving an iridium center.

Project description:A cyclometalated iridium complex is reported where the core complex comprises naphthylpyridine as the main ligand and the ancillary 2,2'-bipyridine ligand is attached to a pyrene unit by a short alkyl bridge. To obtain the complex with satisfactory purity, it was necessary to modify the standard synthesis (direct reaction of the ancillary ligand with the chloro-bridged iridium dimer) to a method harnessing an intermediate tetramethylheptanolate-based complex, which was subjected to acid-promoted removal of the ancillary ligand and subsequent complexation. The photophysical behavior of the bichromophoric complex and a model complex without the pendant pyrene were studied using steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies. Reversible electronic energy transfer (REET) is demonstrated, uniquely with an emissive cyclometalated iridium center and an adjacent organic chromophore. After excited-state equilibration is established (5 ns) as a result of REET, extremely long luminescence lifetimes of up to 225 μs result, compared to 8.3 μs for the model complex, without diminishing the emission quantum yield. As a result, remarkably high oxygen sensitivity is observed in both solution and polymeric matrices.

Direct observation and catalytic role of mediator atom in 2D materials.

Project description:The structural transformations of graphene defects have been extensively researched through aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (AC-TEM) and theoretical calculations. For a long time, a core concept in understanding the structural evolution of graphene defects has been the Stone-Thrower-Wales (STW)-type bond rotation. In this study, we show that undercoordinated atoms induce bond formation and breaking, with much lower energy barriers than the STW-type bond rotation. We refer to them as mediator atoms due to their mediating role in the breaking and forming of bonds. Here, we report the direct observation of mediator atoms in graphene defect structures using AC-TEM and annular dark-field scanning TEM (ADF-STEM) and explain their catalytic role by tight-binding molecular dynamics (TBMD) simulations and image simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The study of mediator atoms will pave a new way for understanding not only defect transformation but also the growth mechanisms in two-dimensional materials.

NMR and EPR Study of Homolysis of Diastereomeric Alkoxyamines.

Project description:Three alkoxyamines based on imidazoline radicals with a pyridine functional group-potential initiators of nitroxide-mediated, controlled radical polymerization-were synthesized. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurements reveal biexponential kinetics for the thermolysis for diastereomeric alkoxyamines and monoexponential kinetics for an achiral alkoxyamine. For comparison, the thermolysis of all three alkoxyamines was studied by NMR in the presence of three different scavengers, namely tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO), thiophenol (PhSH), and β-mercaptoethanol (BME), and detailed analysis of products was performed. NMR differentiates between N-inversion, epimerization, and homolysis reactions. The choice of scavenger is crucial for making a reliable and accurate estimate of the true homolysis rate constant.

Speeding up direct (15)N detection: hCaN 2D NMR experiment.

Project description:Experiments detecting low gyromagnetic nuclei have recently been proposed to utilize the relatively slow relaxation properties of these nuclei in comparison to (1)H. Here we present a new type of (15)N direct-detection experiment. Like the previously proposed CaN experiment (Takeuchi et al. in J Biomol NMR 47:271-282, 2010), the hCaN experiment described here sequentially connects amide (15)N resonances, but utilizes the initial high polarization and the faster recovery of the (1)H nucleus to shorten the recycling delay. This allows recording 2D (15)N-detected NMR experiments on proteins within a few hours, while still obtaining superior resolution for (13)C and (15)N, establishing sequential assignments through prolines, and at conditions where amide protons exchange rapidly. The experiments are demonstrated on various biomolecules, including the small globular protein GB1, the 22 kDa HEAT2 domain of eIF4G, and an unstructured polypeptide fragment of NFAT1, which contains many SerPro sequence repeats.
