[W7O24]6−, the main species in an aqueous solution of Na2WO4at pH ≤ 7 proved by NMR and Raman spectroscopy, fails to be detected in ESI-MS due to its ESI-induced dissociation into Lindqvist [W6O19]2−.

ABSTRACT Otitis media caused by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a common and recurrent bacterial infection of childhood. The structural variability and diversity of H. influenzae lipopolysaccharide (LPS) glycoforms are known to play a significant role in the commensal and disease-causing behavior of this pathogen. In this study, we determined LPS glycoform populations from NTHi strain 1003 during the course of experimental otitis media in the chinchilla model of infection by mass spectrometric techniques. Building on an established structural model of the major LPS glycoforms expressed by this NTHi strain in vitro (M. Månsson, W. Hood, J. Li, J. C. Richards, E. R. Moxon, and E. K. Schweda, Eur. J. Biochem. 269:808-818, 2002), minor isomeric glycoform populations were determined by liquid chromatography multiple-step tandem electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS n ). Using capillary electrophoresis ESI-MS (CE-ESI-MS), we determined glycoform profiles for bacteria from direct middle ear fluid (MEF) samples. The LPS glycan profiles were essentially the same when the MEF samples of 7 of 10 animals were passaged on solid medium (chocolate agar). LC-ESI-MS n provided a sensitive method for determining the isomeric distribution of LPS glycoforms in MEF and passaged specimens. To investigate changes in LPS glycoform distribution during the course of infection, MEF samples were analyzed at 2, 5, and 9 days postinfection by CE-ESI-MS following minimal passage on chocolate agar. As previously observed, sialic acid-containing glycoforms were detected during the early stages of infection, but a trend toward more-truncated and less-complex LPS glycoforms that lacked sialic acid was found as disease progressed.

The host–guest interactions between cucurbit[7]uril and a series of novel cationic bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)arene and 1-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)- and 1,3-bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)-adamantane guests have been investigated in aqueous solution using UV–vis and NMR spectroscopy, and electrospray mass spectrometry. With the exception of the 1,3-bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)adamantane (which binds externally to the CB[7]), these guests form very stable inclusion complexes with slow exchange on the 1H NMR timescale. The direction and magnitude of the complexation-induced shifts (CIS) in the proton resonances of the guests are indicative of the residence of the hydrophobic core of the guest within the CB[7] cavity and the charged 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl units outside the cavity adjacent to the carbonyl-lined portals of the host. The CIS values and the inclusion stability constants have been correlated with the nature of the guest core and with the distance between the charges on the terminal 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl rings.Key words: cucurbit[7]uril, host–guest complex, dihydroimidazolyl, inclusion stability constants.
