Restricting the bridge length to two methylene units significantly altered the redox profile, while changes in the nitrogen-substituents at the 4 and 4′ positions led to only slight changes in the redox potentials.

  • The Conformations of Cycloalkanes

    The Conformations of Cycloalkanes

    The Conformations of Cycloalkanes Ring-containing structures are a common occurrence in organic chemistry. We must, therefore spend some time studying the special characteristics of the parent cycloalkanes. Cyclical connectivity imposes constraints on the range of motion that the atoms in rings can undergo. Cyclic molecules are thus more rigid than linear or branched alkanes because cyclic structures have fewer internal degrees of freedom (that is, the motion of one atom greatly influences the motion of the others when they are connected in a ring). In this lesson we will examine structures of the common ring structures found in organic chemistry. The first four cycloalkanes are shown below. cyclopropane cyclobutane cyclopentane cyclohexane The amount of energy stored in a strained ring is estimated by comparing the experimental heat of formation to the calculated heat of formation. The calculated heat of formation is based on the notion that, in the absence of strain, each –CH2– group contributes equally to the heat of formation, in line with the behavior found for the acyclic alkanes (i.e., open chains). Thus, the calculated heat of formation varies linearly with the number of carbon atoms in the ring. Except for the 6-membered ring, the experimental values are found to have a more positive heat of formation than the calculated value owning to ring strain. The plots of calculated and experimental enthalpies of formation and their difference (i.e., ring strain) are seen in the Figure. The 3-membered ring has about 27 kcal/mol of strain. It can be seen that the 6-membered ring possesses almost no ring strain.

Box 158, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +381-11-3336741 Abstract: It is well known that singlet state aromaticity is quite insensitive to substituent effects, in the case of monosubstitution. In this work, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to examine the sensitivity of triplet state aromaticity to substituent effects. For this purpose, we chose the singlet state antiaromatic cyclopentadienyl cation, antiaromaticity of which reverses to triplet state aromaticity, conforming to Baird’s rule. The extent of (anti)aromaticity was evaluated by using structural (HOMA), magnetic (NICS), energetic (ISE), and electronic (EDDBp) criteria. We find that the extent of triplet state aromaticity of monosubstituted cyclopentadienyl cations is weaker than the singlet state aromaticity of benzene and is, thus, slightly more sensitive to substituent effects. As an addition to the existing literature data, we also discuss substituent effects on singlet state antiaromaticity of cyclopentadienyl cation.

  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life

    Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life

    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.
  • A Facile Approach to Prepare Multiple Heteroatom-Doped Carbon

    A Facile Approach to Prepare Multiple Heteroatom-Doped Carbon

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A Facile Approach to Prepare Multiple Heteroatom-Doped Carbon Materials from Imine- Received: 17 November 2017 Accepted: 19 February 2018 Linked Porous Organic Polymers Published: xx xx xxxx Juan Yang, Min Xu, Jingyu Wang , Shangbin Jin & Bien Tan In this paper, we proposed a new strategy to prepare multiple heteroatom doped (N, P-doped) porous carbon materials with high surface area of ~1,535 m2 g−1 simply by pyrolysis of imine-linked porous organic polymers (POPs) synthesized via Schif base condensation. The strategy is simple without any post-processing and various heteroatoms could be involved. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectra, Nitrogen gas adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to characterize the morphology, the structure and the composition of the materials. The multiple heteroatom doped porous carbon materials also display high electrocatalytic performance as exampled by the application in oxygen reduction, which showed the catalyst favors 4-electron transfer during the process, along with superior stability and higher tolerance to methanol as compared to the Pt/C. These results indicate the present method is promising for the preparation of multi-heteroatom doped carbon materials in the application of electrocatalysis. Porous organic polymers (POPs) are a type of organic polymers with large surface area, tunable skeleton and high stability1,2. Tey have attracted extensive attentions for broad applications in the felds of gas storage and separations, catalysis and energy storage3–5. Tere are many methodologies reported for the preparation of porous polymers6–10. Among them, Schif base reaction is one of the most versatile ways due to the facile, one-pot, catalyst-free, quantitative synthesis11.

Campring Models for Measuring Ring Strain of Common Cycloalkanes Comparing Models for Measuring R..ing Strain of Common Cycloalkanes Brad A. Hobbs Dr. Kenneth C. McGill Chemistry Major Faculty Sponsor Introduction The number of carbon atoms bonded in the ring of a cycloalkane has a large effect on its energy. A molecule's energy has a vast impact on its stability. Determining the most stable form of a molecule is a usefol technique in the world of chemistry. One of the major factors that influ­ ence the energy (stability) of cycloalkanes is the molecule's ring strain. Ring strain is normally viewed as being directly proportional to the insta­ bility of a molecule. It is defined as a type of potential energy within the cyclic molecule, and is determined by the level of "strain" between the bonds of cycloalkanes. For example, propane has tl1e highest ring strain of all cycloalkanes. Each of propane's carbon atoms is sp3-hybridized.

  • Introduction to NMR Spectroscopy of Proteins

    Introduction to NMR Spectroscopy of Proteins

    A brief introduction to NMR spectroscopy of proteins By Flemming M. Poulsen 2002 1 Introduction Nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, and X-ray crystallography are the only two methods that can be applied to the study of three-dimensional molecular structures of proteins at atomic resolution. NMR spectroscopy is the only method that allows the determination of three-dimensional structures of proteins molecules in the solution phase. In addition NMR spectroscopy is a very useful method for the study of kinetic reactions and properties of proteins at the atomic level. In contrast to most other methods NMR spectroscopy studies chemical properties by studying individual nuclei. This is the power of the methods but sometimes also the weakness. NMR spectroscopy can be applied to structure determination by routine NMR techniques for proteins in the size range between 5 and 25 kDa. For many proteins in this size range structure determination is relatively easy, however there are many examples of structure determinations of proteins, which have failed due to problems of aggregation and dynamics and reduced solubility. It is the purpose of these notes to introduce the reader to descriptions and applications of the methods of NMR spectroscopy most commonly applied in scientific studies of biological macromolecules, in particular proteins.
