Synthesis, structure and superoxide dismutase activity of two self-assembly transition metal complexes containing a tridentate amino-Schiff base deviating from salicylaldehyde with glycine

Two new transition metal （Cu, Ni） complexes with amino-Schiff base ligand, （CgH7NO3）Cu（C14H12N2）.H2O （1） and （C9HTNO3）Ni（C3H4N2）3.H2O （2）, have been designed and synthesized in ethanol solution at room temperature. Both of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction. For complex 1, the coordination environment of the central copper atom is a distorted square pyramid, and one-dimensional chain is formed through the inter-molecular hydrogen bonds （O4-H2W…O3, O4…H2W…O3#1 （#1： -x＋1, y, -z＋3/2）） and weak interactions （∏-∏ stacking interaction） between the phenyl rings. For complex 2, the nickel atom is 6-coordinated and in a distorted octahedral environment, and a discrete hydrogen-bond cluster （four molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds into a group） is formed via two types of intra-molecular hydrogen bonds （O-H...O, N-H...O） and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds （O-H...O, N-H...O）.     

4-Formyl-2-（2H-benzotriazol-2-yl）-phenol： an ESIPT chromophore

In the present work, excited state intramolecular proton transfer （ESIPT） emission properties of a new benzotriazole derivative 4-formyl-2-（2H-benzotriazol-2-yl）- phenol （C1） were studied. 4-Formyl-2-（2H-benzotriazol-2- yl）-methoxy-benzene （C2）, 4-formyl-2-（2H-benzotriazol-2- yl）-phenyl acetate （C3） and 4-methyl-2-（2H-benzotriazol- 2-yl）-phenol （C4） were used as the reference molecules. ^1H NMR chemical shift of hydroxy group in C1 was located at more down field than that of C4 or p-hydroxy-benzaldehyde （C5）, respectively. C1 showed two absorption bands in the range of 260-400 nm zones in various solvents, while C2 and C3 exhibited single absorption band. The equal molar mixtures of C2/C5 or C3/C5 showed single absorption band. C2 and C3 displayed single fluorescence emission band in various solvents, while C1 exhibited dual emission bands in some strong polar solvents. Furthermore, the second emission band in these strong polar solvents showed the large Stokes shift. The results show that the second emission band of C1 was produced by ESIPT. C2 and C3 could not undergo ESIPT due to no hydroxy group. The geometry optimization calculation of enol and keto forms in the ground and excited states of C1 provided tough theoretical evidences of ESIPT.     

An incipient 3(10) helix in Piv-Pro-Pro-Ala-NHMe as a model for peptide folding

The molecular mechanism of helix nucleation in peptides and proteins is not yet understood and the question of whether sharp turns in the polypeptide backbone serve as nuclei for protein folding has evoked controversy. A recent study of the conformation of a tetrapeptide containing the stereochemically constrained residue alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, both in solution and the solid state, yielded a structure consisting of two consecutive beta-turns, leading to an incipient 3(10) helical conformation. :This led us to speculate that specific tri- and tetrapeptide sequences may indeed provide a helical twist to the amino-terminal segment of helical regions in proteins and provide a nucleation site for further propagation. The transformation from a 3(10) helical structure to an alpha-helix should be facile and requires only small changes in the phi and psi conformational angles and a rearrangement of the hydrogen bonding pattern. If such a mechanism is involved then it should be possible to isolate an incipient 3(10) helical conformation in a tripeptide amide or tetrapeptide sequence, based purely on the driving force derived from short-range interactions. We have synthesised and studied the model peptide pivaloyl-Pro-Pro-Ala-NHMe (compound I) and provide here spectroscopic evidence for a 3(10) helical conformation in compound I.

Interconversion of single and double helices formed from synthetic molecular strands

Synthetic single-helical conformations are quite common, but the formation of double helices based on recognition between the two constituent strands is relatively rare. Known examples include duplex formation through base-pair-specific hydrogen bonding and stacking, as found in nucleic acids and their analogues, and polypeptides composed of amino acids with alternating L and D configurations. Some synthetic polymers and self-assembled fibres have double-helical winding induced by van der Waals interactions. A third mode of non-covalent interaction, coordination of organic ligands to metal ions, can give rise to double, triple and quadruple helices, although in this case the assembly is driven by the coordination geometry of the metal and the structure of the ligands, rather than by direct inter-strand complementarity. Here we describe a family of oligomeric molecules with bent conformations, which exhibit dynamic exchange between single and double molecular helices in solution, through spiral sliding of the synthetic oligomer strands. The bent conformations leading to the helical shape of the molecules result from intramolecular hydrogen bonding within 2'-pyridyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide units, with extensive intermolecular aromatic stacking stabilizing the double-stranded helices that form through dimerization.     

Investigation of the interfacial water structure on poly[2-（dimethylamino）ethyl methacrylate] at the air/water interface by sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy

The effect of pH on the conformation of surface alkyl groups and the structure of interfacial water molecules on poly[2-(dime-thylamino)ethyl methacrylate](PDEM) at the air/water interface were investigated with sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy(SFG-VS).At pH 4.1,the hydrogen bonding SFG spectra were similar to that of the air/pure water interface.As the pH increased from 5.4 to 9.6,the SFG intensities of both highly ordered hydrogen bonding(3200 cm-1 band) and less-ordered hydrogen bonding(3400 cm-1 band) were enhanced because of the charge-induced effect of deprotonated PDEM.The free OH peak disappeared completely because it was replaced by interfacial PDEM molecules.At pH 11.5,a new spectral band appeared at about 3580 cm-1 in the ppp and sps spectra,and this could be assigned to the C2v asymmetric stretching mode of the water molecules through molecular symmetry simulation.These hydrogen bonding structures are fully consistent with the conformational change of PDEM alkyl groups,and PDEM molecules act as a Hofmeister solvent.PDEM molecules are kosmotropic when they are charged and become more chaotropic as the pH increases.

Synthesis, structure, optoelectronic properties of novel zinc Schiff-base complexes

Two novel zinc Schiff-base complexes, bis-(N-(2-hydroxybenzidene)-p-aminodimethylaniline)zinc(II) (2) and bis-(N-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthidene)-p-aminodimethylaniline)zinc(II) (4) were designed and synthesized. Both the complexes exhibit good solubility in organic solvents and excellent thermal stabilities. A single crystal of 2 was grown and its crystalline structure was determined from X-ray diffraction data. Analysis of the electronic structures of both the zinc complexes calculated by density functional theory reveals a localization of orbital. The UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence profiles of 4 in thin film are similar to those of 2, but the emission for 4 is red-shifted compared to 2. Three-layered devices with a configuration of ITO/NPB/2/Alq 3 /LiF/Al and ITO/NPB/4/Alq 3 /LiF/Al show a yellow and red emission, respectively.

Reservoir characteristics and genesis of high-porosity and high-permeability reservoirs in Tarim Basin

Based on detailed studies, this paper proposesthat in the Tarim Basin, hydrocarbon reservoirs widespreadeither in vertical sequences or in plane and high-porosity andhigh-permeability reservoirs are developed all over the basin.However, obvious difference and heterogeneity exist amongdifferent kinds of reservoirs. The lithologic characteristics,reservoir space types and reservoir properties in variousstrata have been probed. The result indicates that althoughthe Paleozoic carbonates have been deeply buried for a longperiod, high-quality reservoirs with the porosity of up to 5%—8% (12% as the maximum) and the permeability of10×10^-3—100×10^-3 μm² (1000×10^-3 μm² as the maximum)can be found in certain areas. These include the area withthe development of reefs and carbonate beaches, the weath-ered-crust buried-hill belts that have undergone thelong-term exposure, weathering and leaching, the area withthe development of dolomitization, and those areas that haveexperienced the resolution of carbonic acid and organic acidgenerated by the maturity of the organic matter. Finally, thegenesis of the high-porosity and high-permeability reservoirsin deep-buried conditions (with the depth more than 3500 m)have been investigated thoroughly.     

Crystal structure of an RNA double helix incorporating a track of non-Watson-Crick base pairs

The crystal structure of the RNA dodecamer duplex (r-GGACUUCGGUCC)2 has been determined. The dodecamers stack end-to-end in the crystal, simulating infinite A-form helices with only a break in the phosphodiester chain. These infinite helices are held together in the crystal by hydrogen bonding between ribose hydroxyl groups and a variety of donors and acceptors. The four noncomplementary nucleotides in the middle of the sequence did not form an internal loop, but rather a highly regular double-helix incorporating the non-Watson-Crick base pairs, G.U and U.C. This is the first direct observation of a U.C (or T.C) base pair in a crystal structure. The U.C pairs each form only a single base-base hydrogen bond, but are stabilized by a water molecule which bridges between the ring nitrogens and by four waters in the major groove which link the bases and phosphates. The lack of distortion introduced in the double helix by the U.C mismatch may explain its low efficiency of repair in DNA. The G.U wobble pair is also stabilized by a minor-groove water which bridges between the unpaired guanine amino and the ribose hydroxyl of the uracil. This structure emphasizes the importance of specific hydrogen bonding between not only the nucleotide bases, but also the ribose hydroxyls, phosphate oxygens and tightly bound waters in stabilization of the intramolecular and intermolecular structures of double helical RNA.
