Intermolecular complexes between sulfide radical cations from β-hydroxy sulfides and phosphate

Triplet-sensitized oxidation of 2-(methylthio)ethanol (2-MTE) and photosensitized formaldehyde formation from 2-MTE were measured in aqueous solutions. The formaldehyde quantum yields were measured in steady-state experiments; whereas the time-resolved detection of dimeric sulfur radical cations (S∴S)⁺ was followed in nanosecond laser flash photolysis. 4-Carboxybenzophenone was the triplet sensitizer in both types of experiments. It was found that the lifetimes of the (S∴S)⁺ radicals increased in the presence of phosphate buffer, sodium perchlorate, or D₂O. There were corresponding decreases in the formaldehyde yields for these same experimental factors. The phosphate case was discussed in some detail in terms of a new intermolecular complex between the sulfide radical cations and the oxyanions.     

Electron Transfer Reactions of Photochemically Generated Ruthenium(III)–Polypyridyl Complexes with Methionines

The oxidation of methionine (Met) plays an important role during biological conditions of oxidative stress as well as for protein stability. Ruthenium(III)–polypyridyl complexes, [Ru(NN)₃]³⁺, generated from the photochemical oxidation of the corresponding Ru(II) complexes with molecular oxygen, undergo a facile electron transfer reaction with Met to form methionine sulfoxide (MetO) as the final product. Interaction of [Ru(NN)₃]³⁺ with methionine leads to the formation of >S^+● and (>S∴S<)⁺ species as intermediates during the course of the reaction. The interesting spectral, kinetic, and mechanistic study of the electron transfer reaction of four substituted methionines with six [Ru(NN)₃]³⁺ ions carried out in aqueous CH₃CN (1:1, v/v) by a spectrophotometric technique shows that the reaction rate is susceptible to the nature of the ligand in [Ru(NN)₃]³⁺ and the structure of methionine. The rate constants calculated by the application of Marcus semiclassical theory to these redox reactions are in close agreement with the experimental values.     

Redox‐induced configuration conversion for thioacetamide dimer can function as a molecular switch

The electronic switching properties of thioacetamide dimer (TAD) were investigated using the nonequilibrium Green's function method combined with density functional theory for design of a novel molecular switch. The H‐bonded TAD can be converted upon hole‐trapping to a three‐electron (3e)‐bonded configuration with a S∴S linkage which could provide a more favorable channel for charge transfer than the before. The redox‐induced configuration conversion between the H‐bonded and the 3e‐bonded TADs could govern the charge migration through the molecular junction with a considerable difference in conduction currents. The calculated I–V characteristic curves of two configurations exhibit a switching behavior with an On‐Off ratio in a range of about 4.3–7.6 within the applied voltages. Clearly, this hypothetical scheme provides a potential way to explore the novel conformation‐dependent molecular switch. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem 2010     

Effect of Molecular Interactions on Electron‐Transfer and Antioxidant Activity of Bis(alkanol)selenides: A Radiation Chemical Study

Understanding electron‐transfer processes is crucial for developing organoselenium compounds as antioxidants and anti‐inflammatory agents. To find new redox‐active selenium antioxidants, we have investigated one‐electron‐transfer reactions between hydroxyl (^.OH) radical and three bis(alkanol)selenides (SeROH) of varying alkyl chain length, using nanosecond pulse radiolysis. ^.OH radical reacts with SeROH to form radical adduct, which is converted primarily into a dimer radical cation (>Se∴Se<)⁺ and α‐{bis(hydroxyl alkyl)}‐selenomethine radical along with a minor quantity of an intramolecularly stabilized radical cation. Some of these radicals have been subsequently converted to their corresponding selenoxide, and formaldehyde. Estimated yield of these products showed alkyl chain length dependency and correlated well with their antioxidant ability. Quantum chemical calculations suggested that compounds that formed more stable (>Se∴Se<)⁺, produced higher selenoxide and lower formaldehyde. Comparing these results with those for sulfur analogues confirmed for the first time the distinctive role of selenium in making such compounds better antioxidants.     

Molecular dynamics study of the influence of calcium ions on the conformation of gelsolin S2 domain

Gelsolin is an actin-severing protein whose action is promoted by Ca²⁺ ions and inhibited by binding to lipid phosphoinositides incorporated in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane inner lipid bilayer. In this study, we carried out molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the influence of calcium cations on the conformation of gelsolin S2 domain. First, gelsolin S2 domain taken from the crystal structure of apo-gelsolin (PDB code: 1D0N) was subjected to three 1100 ps MD simulations in a periodic water box with the 5.0 force field at T=298 K. In the first simulation (S2_Ca²⁺) excess concentration of Ca²⁺ was applied, in the second one (S2_phys) the concentration of Ca²⁺ ions was physiological and in the third one (S2_w) no Ca²⁺ ions were added. The results of MD simulations showed high conformational flexibility of the N-terminal part of the S2 domain. S2_w deviated from the starting structure considerably more that S2_phys and S2_Ca²⁺ suggesting that Ca²⁺ ions stabilize the conformation of the S2 domain of gelsolin.     

Relaxation properties of porphyrin, diprotonated porphyrin, and isoelectronic tetraoxaporphyrin dication in the S2 state

The fluorescence spectra of unsubstituted porphyrin (H2P), diprotonated porphyrin (H4P2+), and isoelectronic tetraoxaporphyrin dication (TOxP2+) have been measured in solution at room temperature. The S2-->S0 fluorescence has been observed, much more intense for TOxP2+ than for H4P2+ and H2P. In the TOxP2+ case, the S2-->S0 fluorescence spectrum is remarkably sharp and shows an excellent mirror symmetry with respect to S0-->S2 absorption. On the contrary, the spectra of H4P2+ and H2P are shifted and more extended with respect to the absorption counterparts. The differences have been attributed primarily to the change of the equilibrium geometry upon excitation, larger in H2P and H4P2+ than in TOxP2+ and in the case of H4P2+ to the nonplanar conformation of the macrocycle. Also the S1-->S0 spectra of H2P, H4P2+, and TOxP2+ have been measured and more qualitatively discussed. The S1 and S2 fluorescence decays have been observed for H4P2+ and TOxP2+ exciting with ultrashort pulses. The S2 lifetime of TOxP2+ is of the order of the temporal resolution of our experimental apparatus, whereas that of H4P2+ is shorter. The S2-->S0 quantum yield of TOxP2+ has been estimated to be 0.035, approximately 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of H4P2+. It is proposed on the basis of ab initio model calculations that excited states of the H4P2+(CF3COO-)2 complex with charge-transfer character are responsible of the increased extension of the S2-->S0 spectrum with respect to that of H2P.     

A new yardstick for benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

The newly introduced signature of benzenoids (a sequence of six real numbers Si with i = 6-1) shows the composition of the pi-electron partition by indicating the number of times all rings of the benzenoid are assigned 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 pi-electrons. It allows the introduction of a new ordering criterion for such polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by summing some of the terms in the signature. There is an almost perfect linear correlation between sums S6 + S5 and S4 + S3 for isomeric cata- or peri-fused benzenoids, so that one can sort such isomers according to ascending s 6 + S5 or to descending S4 + S3 sums (the resulting ordering does not differ much and agrees with that based on increasing numbers of Clar sextets and of Kekule structures). Branched cata-condensed benzenoids have higher S6 + S5 sums than isomeric nonbranched systems. For nonisomeric peri-condensed benzenoids, both sums increase with increasing numbers of benzenoid rings and decrease with the number of internal carbon atoms. Other partial sums that have been explored are S6 + S5 + S3 And S6 + S2 + S1, and the last one appears to be more generally applicable as a parameter for the complexity of benzenoids and for ordering isomeric benzenoids.     

Ethylene spacer-linked bis-acetamidopyridine for dicarboxylic acid recognition and polymeric new wave-like anti-perpendicular arrangement of a host–guest in the solid state

In this paper, 1,2-bis(2-acetamido-6-pyridyl)ethane, receptor 1, having an ethylene spacer is reported to recognise dicarboxylic acids. The binding study in the solution phase is carried out using ¹H NMR (1:1) and UV–vis experiments and in the solid phase by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In ¹H NMR, the downfield shifts of specific amide protons of receptor 1 in 1:1 complexes of receptor and guest diacids, and in the UV–vis experiment, the appearance of an isosbestic point as well as significant binding constants are observed, which thus unambiguously support the complexation of receptor 1 with dicarboxylic acids in solution. Receptor 2, simple 2-acetamido-6-methylpyridine, has lower binding constants than receptor 1 due to cooperative binding of two pyridine amide groups with two acid groups of diacids. In the solid phase, the ditopic receptor 1 shows a grid-like polymeric hydrogen-bonded network that changes to a polymeric wave-like 1:1 anti-perpendicular network instead of the syn–syn polymeric 1:1 (Goswami, S.; Dey, S.; Fun, H.-K.; Anjum, S.; Rahman, A.-U.

Dissociation of energy-selected c-C2H4S+ in a region 10.6-11.8 eV: threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence experiments and quantum-chemical calculations

Dissociation of energy-selected c-C2H4S+ was investigated in a region of 10.6-11.8 eV with a threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence technique and a synchrotron as a source of vacuum ultraviolet radiation. Branching ratios and average releases of kinetic energy in channels of formation of c-C2H4S+, CH3CS+, and HCS+ were obtained from well-resolved time-of-flight peaks in coincidence mass spectra. Measured average releases of kinetic energy for channel CH3CS+ + H of least energy are substantial and much greater than calculated with quasiequilibrium theory; in contrast, small releases of kinetic energy near the appearance onset for channel HCS+ + CH3 agree satisfactorily with statistical calculations. Calculations of molecular electronic structures and energetics of c-C2H4S+ and C2H3S+ isomers and various fragments and transition states were also performed with Gaussian 3 method to establish dissociation mechanisms. A predicted dissociation energy of 11.05 eV for c-C2H4S --> HCS+ + CH3 agrees with a linearly extrapolated threshold at 10.99+/-0.04 eV and a predicted dissociation mechanism that c-C2H4S+ isomerizes to CH3CHS+ before dissociating to HCS+ + CH3 supports the experimental results. The large releases of kinetic energy for channel CH3CS+ + H might result from a dissociation mechanism according to which c-C2H4S+ isomerizes to a local minimum CH3CSH+ and then dissociates through a transition state to form CH3CS+ + H.
