: A spectrophotometry was investigated for the determination of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) with p-nitrophenol (PNP). The method was based on a charge transfer (CT) complexation of this drug as n-electron donor with π-acceptor PNP. Experiment indicated that the CT complexation was carried out at room temperature for 10 minutes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The spectrum obtained for EACA/PNP system showed the maximum absorption band at wavelength of 425 nm. The stoichiometry of the CT complex was found to be 1:1 ratio by Job’s method between the donor and the acceptor. Different variables affecting the complexation were carefully studied and optimized. At the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in a concentration limit of 1~6 µg mL-1. The relative standard deviation was less than 2.9%. The apparent molar absoptivity was determined to be 1.86×104 L mol-1cm-1 at 425 nm. The CT complexation was also confirmed by both FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. The thermodynamic properties and reaction mechanism of the CT complexation have been discussed. The developed method could be applied successfully for the determination of the studied compound in its pharmaceutical dosage forms with a good precision and accuracy compared to official method as revealed by t- and F-tests.

The fluorescence quenching of 2-aminodiphenylamine (2ADPA), 4-aminodiphenylamine (4ADPA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenylamine (DADPA) with tetrachloromethane, chloroform and dichloromethane have been studied in hexane, dioxane, acetonitrile and methanol as solvents. The quenching rate constants for the process have also been obtained by measuring the lifetimes of the fluorophores. The quenching was found to be dynamic in all cases. For 2ADPA and 4ADPA, the quenching rate constants of CCl4 and CHCl3 depend on the viscosity, whereas in the case of CH2Cl2, kq depends on polarity. The quenching rate constants for DADPA with CCl4 are viscosity-dependent but the quenching with CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 depends on the polarity of the solvents. From the results, the quenching mechanism is explained by the formation of a non-emissive complex involving a charge-transfer interaction between the electronically excited fluorophores and ground-state chloromethanes.

AbstractCatechin – a natural polyphenol substance – has excellent antioxidant properties for the treatment of diseases, especially for cholesterol lowering. Catechin can reduce cholesterol content in micelles by forming insoluble precipitation with cholesterol, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. In this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of catechin and cholesterol, we studied the interaction between typical catechins and cholesterol by the density functional theory. Results show that the adsorption energies between the four catechins and cholesterol are obviously stronger than that of cholesterol themselves, indicating that catechin has an advantage in reducing cholesterol micelle formation. Moreover, it is found that the molecular interactions of the complexes are mainly due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of the catechins as well as the hydrogen bond interactions. Unlike the intuitive understanding of a complex formed by hydrogen bond interaction, which is positively correlated with the number of hydrogen bonds, the most stable complexes (epicatechin–cholesterol or epigallocatechin–cholesterol) have only one but stronger hydrogen bond, due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of catechins.

Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are the focus of intense scientific research due their potential applications in science and technology. Here, we report on the synthesis, characterization, and photobehavior of a new HOF (T12F-1(124TCB)) based on a dehydrobenzoannulene derivative containing fluorine atoms (T12F-COOH). This HOF exhibits a 2D porous sheet, which is hexagonally networked via H-bonds between the carboxylic groups, and has an interlayers distance (4.3 Å) that is longer than that of a typical π–π interaction. The presence of the fluorine atoms in the DBA molecular units largely increases the emission quantum yield in DMF (0.33, T12F-COOH) when compared to the parent compound (0.02, T12-COOH). The time-resolved dynamics of T12F-COOH in DMF is governed by the emission from a locally excited state (S1, ~ 0.4 ns), a charge-transfer state (S1(CT), ~ 2 ns), and a room temperature emissive triplet state (T1, ~ 20 ns), in addition to a non-emissive triplet structure with a charge-transfer character (T1(CT), τ = 0.75 µs). We also report on the results using T12F-ester. Interestingly, FLIM experiments on single crystals unravel that the emission lifetimes of the crystalline HOF are almost twice those of the amorphous ones or the solid T12F-ester sample. This shows the relevance of the H-bonds in the photodynamics of the HOF and provides a strong basis for further development and study of HOFs based on DBAs for potential applications in photonics.
