Exploring bulky natural and natural-like periphery in the design of p-(benzyloxy)phenylpropionic acid agonists of free fatty acid receptor 1 (GPR40)

Abstract

Six derivatives of 3-phenylpropionic acid bearing various natural and natural-like, spatially defined peripheral motifs have been synthesized and evaluated in vitro for free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) activation. Two frontrunner compounds (bearing a bornyl and cytosine groups) were evaluated in an oral glucose tolerance test in mice where both demonstrated the ability to sustain blood glucose levels following a glucose challenge. The bornyl compound displayed a somewhat superior, dose-dependent efficacy and, therefore, can be regarded as a lead compounds for further development as a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its high affinity to FFA1 was rationalized by docking experiments.

Photochemistry of tris(2,3,5,6-tetrathiaaryl)methyl radicals in various solutions

Abstract

During the last decades, persistent tris(2,3,5,6-tetrathiaaryl)methyl radicals (TAMs) have attracted much attention due to their applications in oximetry, EPR tomography, and as spin labels in pulsed dipolar EPR spectroscopy. Recently, researchers proposed to use TAM radicals as spin labels and/or a partner for photoinduced spin labels. Thus, the questions of their photochemical stability and mechanism of degradation under UV irradiation have become relevant and important. In this study, steady-state photolysis and flash photolysis of TAM radicals were investigated. A detailed mechanism of TAM phototransformations was proposed and confirmed by NMR, gel permeation chromatography, and mass-spectrometric analyses of the products.

High molecular weight polyethylenes of narrow dispersity promoted using bis(arylimino)cyclohepta[b]pyridine-cobalt catalysts ortho-substituted with benzhydryl & cycloalkyl groups

Abstract

A one-pot template strategy has been utilized to synthesize sterically enhanced bis(imino)cyclohepta[b]pyridine-cobalt(II) chlorides, [2-{(Ar)NCMe}-9-{N(Ar)}C₁₀H₁₀N]CoCl₂ (Ar = 2-(C₅H₉) -4,6-(CHPh₂)₂C₆H₂ Co1, 2-(C₆H₁₁)-4,6-(CHPh₂)₂C₆H₂  Co2, 2-(C₈H₁₅)-4,6-(CHPh₂) ₂C₆H₂ Co3, 2-(C₁₂H₂₃)-4,6-(CHPh₂ )₂C₆H₂ Co4, 2,6-(C₅H₉)₂ -4-(CHPh₂)C₆H₂ Co5). All five complexes have been characterized by a combination of FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular structures of Co1, Co3 and Co5 highlight the substantial steric hindrance imparted by the 2-cycloalkyl-6-benzhydryl or 2,6-dicyclopentyl ortho-substitution pattern; distorted square pyramidal geometries are exhibited in each case. On activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), all the complexes (apart from Co4/MAO) were active ethylene polymerization catalysts (up to 3.70 ? 10⁶ g PE per mol (Co) per h for Co5/MMAO), operating effectively at temperatures between 50 °C and 60 °C, producing polyethylenes with high molecular weights (up to 589.5 kg mol^-1 for Co3/MAO). Furthermore, all polymers were highly linear (T_m > 130 °C) with narrow dispersities (M_w/M_n range: 2.0–3.0). The coexistence of two chain termination pathways, β-H elimination and transfer to aluminum, has been demonstrated using ¹³ C/¹H NMR spectroscopy.

Ambipolar polyimides with pendant groups based on 9H-thioxanthene-9-one derivatives: synthesis, thermostability, electrochemical and electrochromic properties

Abstract

New electro-active polyimides (PI) with pendant groups based on 9H-thioxanthene-9-one (Th(O)S) and its S,S-dioxide derivative (Th(O)SO₂) have been synthesized on the basis of 2-{bis(4-aminophenyl)aminomethyl}-9H-Th(O)S/Th(O)SO₂ by the route including the synthesis of the corresponding polyamidoacids followed by their chemical imidization. The synthesized polyimides demonstrated thermal stability up to 400 °C without a noticeable weight loss. Thin-layer cyclic voltammetry showed the polyimides to be capable of reversible electron transfer at low negative potentials, their values depending on the nature of the pendant groups. The electrochromic behavior of the polyimides showed absorption bands at 363, 409, 683 nm for the PI with the Th(O)S pendant group and 355, 644 nm for the PI with the Th(O)SO₂ in the potential sweep range 0 > E > −2.1 V. Optical absorption bands under electrochemical reduction conditions are associated with the formation of radical anion states of the pendant groups inside the PI layer as well as reversible electron transfer to the electron-acceptor moiety of the polymer chain. It was confirmed by comparison with 3D UV-VIS-NIR spectroelectrochemical studies of the corresponding 2-methyl-9H-thioxanthene-9-ones used as precursors of the pendant groups.

Fluorinated thiophene-phenylene co-oligomers for optoelectronic devices

ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, 2020, 12, 8,  9507-9519
Publication Date:February 3, 2020

Abstract

Organic optoelectronics requires materials combining bright luminescence and efficient ambipolar charge transport. Thiophene-phenylene co-oligomers (TPCOs) are promising highly emissive materials with decent charge-carrier mobility; however, they typically show poor electron injection in devices, which is usually assigned to high energies of their lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs). A widely used approach to lower the frontier orbitals energy levels of a conjugated molecule is its fluorination. In this study, we synthesized three new fluorinated derivatives of one of the most popular TPCOs, 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)bis[5-phenylthiophene] (PTPTP), and studied them by cyclic voltammetry, absorption, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies. The obtained data reveal a positive effect of fluorination on the optoelectronic properties of PTPTP: LUMO levels are finely tuned, photoluminescence quantum yield and absorbance are increased. We then grew crystals from fluorinated PTPTPs, resolved their structures, and showed that fluorination dramatically affects the packing motif and facilitates π-stacking. Finally, we fabricated thin-film organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and demonstrated a strong impact of fluorination on charge injection/transport for both types of charge carriers, electrons and holes. Specifically, balanced ambipolar charge transport and electroluminescence were observed only in the OFET active channel based on the partially fluorinated PTPTP. The obtained results can be extended to other families of conjugated oligomers and highlight the efficiency of fluorination for rational design of organic semiconductors for optoelectronic devices.

Pyrocatechol borates: Synthesis, reaction with formaldehyde, and solvent effect on polycondensation process

Polymer

Abstract

Pyrocatechol (I) and dipyrocatechol (II) borates were synthesized by esterification between pyrocatechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) and boric acid in о-xylene with azeotropic distillation of water. The co-esterification between pyrocatechol and boric acid with added equimolar quantities of phenol or 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol was studied, and pyrocatechol phenyl (III) and pyrocatechol-(2,6-di-tert-butyl)phenyl (IV) borates were prepared. The reaction of the resultant esters with formaldehyde in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate as a catalyst was examined. The coupling of the methylene moiety in several position of moleculeIII was found to be dependent on the solvent used. The electrophilic substitution on the phenol substituent took place in о-xylene, while the reaction in either benzene or molten monomer proceeded to substitute the methylene moiety for the proton on the catechol moiety. The molecular weights of the compounds were measured. Some properties of the synthesized oligomers were determined and thermal and thermooxidative destruction was examined.

Design, synthesis and isolation of a new 1,2,5-selenadiazolidyl and structural and magnetic characterization of its alkali-metal salts

Abstract

5,6-Dicyano[1,2,5]selenadiazolo[3,4-b]pyrazine 1 was synthesized and electrochemically and chemically reduced into its radical anion [1]˙−, which was characterized by EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations, and isolated in the form of homospin salts [K(18-crown-6)]+[1]˙− (2) and [Na(18-crown-6)]+[1]˙− (3). The crystal structure of 2 revealed π-dimers of [1]˙− featuring a shortened interplanar separation of 3.18 Å, and that of 3 showed chains of alternating cations and anions. DFT and CASSCF calculations on the π-dimers of [1]˙− suggest a closed-shell singlet ground state with a noticeable contribution of diradical character. According to EPR and SQUID magnetometry, salt 2 is diamagnetic in the range of 2–300 K, whereas salt 3 is paramagnetic and reveals weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions.

Paramagnetic bioactives encapsulated in poly(D,L-lactide) microparticules: Spatial distribution and in vitro release kinetics

Abstract

Poly(D,L-lactide) microparticles impregnated with a number of bioactive paramagnetic compounds have been fabricated using two SCF techniques: 1). PGSS (Particles from Gas Saturated Solution) and 2). polymer plasticization and swelling by supercritical carbon dioxide followed by its cryomilling. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy manifested homogeneous spatial distribution for the most of these substances encapsulated into the polymer. Irreversible relaxation processes in the prepared polymer structures and formulations were not observed. The qualitative difference in the release kinetics of paramagnetic molecules of different structure from the polymer microparticles into the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, pH = 7.4) was demonstrated. pH-sensitive ATI spin probe proved the decrease (up to ≤ 4.5) of local pH inside the microparticles during the first 9 days after its immersion in PBS.

Bis(2,1,3-benzotelluradiazolidyl)2,1,3-benzotelluradiazole: a pair of radical anions coupled by Te...N chalcogen bonding

Abstract

Reduction of 2,1,3-benzotelluradiazole (3) yielded a crystalline solid that features a trimeric dianion formally composed of two [3]˙− and one 3 bridged by unusually asymmetric Te⋯N chalcogen bonds. The solid is diamagnetic due to strong antiferromagnetic coupling, as revealed by CASSCF/CASPT2 and BS-DFT.
