We report the synthesis of a library of dual H-bond bond donors have also been shown to have superior hydrogen receptors, incorporating the deltic and croconic acid derivatives, bond donicity to monodentate hydrogen bond donors of similar termed deltamides and croconamides, and a comparison of their acidity,4 providing improved anion binding capacity, together with anion binding affinities (for monovalent species) and Brønsted a decreased propensity for the receptor to be deprotonated by acidities to those of the well-established urea and squaramide dual H- basic anions. This latter property is of particular importance in the bond donor motifs. For dual H-bond cores with identical substituents, development of new anion binding motifs, since if a hydrogen the trend in Brønsted acidity is croconamides > squaramides bond donor is too acidic, it is no longer effective at binding to 5 >deltamides > ureas, with the croconamides found to be 10-15 pKa anions at neutral pH.

In contrast to the the right balance between hydrogen bond donicity and Brønsted trends displayed by ureas, deltamides and squaramides, N,N’-dialkyl acidity should provide improved anion receptors and allow them croconamides displayed higher binding affinity to chloride than the to be tailored towards specific anions.

  • Application of Squaric Acid to the Preparation of Bioactive Compounds
    Application of Squaric Acid to The Preparation of Bioactive Compounds By Meijun Lu A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 © Meijun Lu 2008 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Nucleosides and nucleoside analogues exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial and antiparasitic activities, which generally result from their ability to inhibit specific enzymes. Nucleoside analogues can interact with cellular enzymes involved in the biosynthesis or degradation of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and/or DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or with specific viral enzymes to result in their biological activities and therapeutic effects. In addition, another possible target is their incorporation into DNA/RNA which could affect replication and transcription. They have been beneficial to the development of new pharmaceuticals. Squaric acid and its derivatives have been successfully used as a bioisosteric group in various biomedicinal areas. The aim of this research proposal was to apply squaric acid analogues to the design and synthesis of novel nucleoside analogues. Three squaric acid-based new nucleoside analogues were made starting from dimethyl squarate. The compounds were 4-amino-3-[((1R,3S)-3-hydroxymethyl-4-cyclopentene)- 1-amino]-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione, 4-methoxy-3-[((1R,3S)-3-hydroxymethyl-4-cyclopen tene)-1-amine]-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione, and 4-hydroxy-3-[((1R,3S)-3-hydroxymethyl-4- cyclopentene)-1-amine]-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dionate, sodium salt.

  • Anomalous Mechanical Behavior of the Deltic, Squaric and Croconic Cyclic Oxocarbon Acids
    IOP Publishing Journal Title Journal XX (XXXX) XXXXXX https://doi.org/XXXX/XXXX Anomalous mechanical behavior of the deltic, squaric and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids Francisco Colmenero1 1 Molecular Physics Department, Instituto de Estructura de la Materia (CSIC), Madrid, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Received xxxxxx Accepted for publication xxxxxx Published xxxxxx Abstract The structural and mechanical properties of the deltic, squaric and croconic cyclic oxocarbon acids were obtained using theoretical solid-state methods based in Density Functional Theory employing very demanding calculation parameters in order to yield realistic theoretical descriptions of these materials. The computed lattice parameters, bond distances, angles, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns of these materials were in excellent agreement with their experimental counterparts. The crystal structures of these materials were found to be mechanically stable since the calculated stiffness tensors satisfy the Born mechanical stability conditions. Furthermore, the values of the bulk modulus and their pressure derivatives, shear and Young moduli, Poisson ratio, ductility and hardness indices, as well as mechanical anisotropy measures of these materials were reported. A complete review of the literature concerning the negative Poisson ratio and negative linear compressibility phenomena is given together with the theoretical study of the mechanical behavior of cyclic oxocarbon acid materials. The deltic, squaric, and croconic acids in the solid state are highly anisotropic materials characterized by low hardness and relatively low bulk moduli. The three materials display small negative Poisson ratios. The croconic acid displays the phenomenon of negative linear compressibility for applied pressures larger than ~0.4 GPa directed along the direction of minimum Poisson ratio and undergoes a pressure induced phase transition at applied pressures larger than ~1.0 GPa.

Abstract: Hydrogels based on chitosan are very versatile materials which can be used for tissue engineering as well as in controlled drug delivery systems. One of the methods for obtaining a chitosan-based hydrogel is crosslinking by applying different components. The objective of the present study was to obtain a series of new crosslinked chitosan-based films by means of solvent cast- ing method. Squaric acid—3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione—was used as a safe crosslinking agent. The effect of the squaric acid on the structural, mechanical, thermal, and swelling properties of the formed films was determined. It was established that the addition of the squaric acid significantly improved Young’s modulus, tensile strength, and thermal stability of the obtained materials.

Received: 12 July 2019; Accepted: 15 August 2019; Published: 19 August 2019 Abstract: Two coordination polymers (CPs) with chemical formulas, [Ho2(C4O4)2(C2O4)(H2O)8]·4H2O (1) and [Ho(C4O4)1.5(H2O)3] (2), (C4O42− = dianion of squaric acid, C2O42− = oxalate), have been synthesized and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometer (XRD). In compound 1, the coordination environment of Ho(III) ion is eight-coordinate bonded to eight oxygen atoms from two squarate, one oxalate ligands and four water molecules. The squarates and oxalates both act as bridging ligands with 1,2-bis-monodentate and bis-chelating coordination modes, respectively, connecting the Ho(III) ions to form a one-dimensional (1D) ladder-like framework. Adjacent ladders are interlinked via O–HO hydrogen bonding interaction to form a hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional (2D) layered framework and then arranged orderly in an AAA manner to construct its three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. In compound 2, the coordination geometry of Ho(III) is square-antiprismatic eight coordinate bonded to eight oxygen atoms from five squarate ligands and three water molecules.
