Adiabatic Ionization Potential

The reactivity of methylenecyclopropane (MCP, 1) and its radical cation (1+•) have been studied in the presence and absence of a nucleophile (methanol). Photochemical reactions of 1 in the presence of an electron-acceptor (1,4-dicyanobenzene, 6) and a codonor (biphenyl, 7) in acetonitrile (with and without methanol present) or chloroform lead to cycloadditions (ortho, meta, and para; products 12–17) rather than products from photoinduced electron transfer (PET). Based on the measured (cyclic voltammetry, CV) oxidation potential, using the Weller equation, electron transfer (ET) was predicted to occur. It was shown that the measured oxidation potential of 1 represents the adiabatic ionization potential. For PET processes the value for the vertical ionization potential must be used. Electrochemical (EC) generation of 1+• without a nucleophile present results in the formation of one major product: tert-butyl acetamide (25). A series of rearrangements leading to the tert-butyl cation is proposed. Addition of a nucleophile (methanol) to the mixture leads to the formation of 3-methoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)-1-propene (26). This product may arise from trapping of the initially formed ring-opened (trimethylenemethane) radical cation (1a+•), which undergoes a second oxidation and nucleophilic addition (ECE). Keywords: methylenecyclopropane, radical cation, photochemistry, electrochemistry, photocycloaddition.

<p>High signal-to-noise optical voltage indicators will enable simultaneous interrogation of membrane potential in large ensembles of neurons. However, design principles for voltage sensors with high sensitivity and brightness remain elusive, limiting the applicability of voltage imaging. In this paper, we use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to guide the design of a bright and sensitive green-fluorescent voltage-sensitive fluorophore, or VoltageFluor (VF dye), that uses photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) as a voltage-sensing mechanism. MD simulations predict an 11% increase in sensitivity due to membrane orientation, while DFT calculations predict an increase in fluorescence quantum yield, but a decrease in sensitivity due to a decrease in rate of PeT. We confirm these predictions by synthesizing a new VF dye and demonstrating that it displays the expected improvements by doubling the brightness and retaining similar sensitivity to prior VF dyes. Combining theoretical predictions and experimental validation has resulted in the synthesis of the highest signal-to-noise green VF dye to date. We use this new voltage indicator to monitor the electrophysiological maturation of human embryonic stem cell-derived medium spiny neurons. </p>
