Near-UV irradiation of aqueous solutions of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin (scopoletin) and 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin (esculetin) resulted in the formation of dimers. Substantially greater amounts of the 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin photodimer were produced compared with that of 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin. Fluorescence spectra indicated that the initial photolytic reaction involves the excited state of the phenolate form of the monomeric coumarin. The electro-spray ionization (ESI) mass spectrum suggested that the major product (with a sodiated quasimolecular ion at m/z 405) from the photolysis of scopoletin in water had formed by oxidative dimerisation and possibly had a 3,3′-bond. A second dimer (with a sodiated quasimolecular ion at m/z 407) was probably a 2 + 2 cyclodimer. This work concluded that photolysis of coumarins in water results in oxidative dimerisation whereas photolysis in the solid state or in organic solvents results in cyclodimerisation. Minor monomeric photoproducts were a dihydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin from 7-hydroxy-6-methoxycoumarin and a trihydroxycoumarin from 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin. During ESI-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), sodiated quasimolecular ions of the photodimer formed more readily than protonated quasimolecular ions and the sodiated ions did not fragment readily. Protonated quasimolecular ions of the monomeric coumarins formed more readily than their sodiated counterparts and the protonated ions fragmented to create daughter ion spectra that were useful for chemical structural assignment.

Compounds of the empirical formula Cu(HIm)2(Im)X [where X = NO3-, ClO4-, Cl-, Br-, and I-; HIm = imidazole and Im- = anion of imidazole] have been prepared and investigated. Evidence for the imidazolato anion acting as a bridging ligand in the solid state is based on magnetic and spectroscopic data. The electronic spectra of aqueous solutions of tetrakisimidazolecopper(11) compounds suggest the presence of the binuclear hydroxy-bridged cation (1) : (See diagram in article) which is also furnished by the imidazolato-bridged species in aqueous solution.

γ-Irradiation of aqueous solutions of p-ClC6H4N2+BF4- and KI initiates a chain reaction in which dichloroazobenzene is the major product. When iodine is also present the chain reaction is longer and the major product is chloroiodobenzene . The reaction � ������������������������� I2-·+ArN2+ → I2+Ar·+N2 is suggested to be propagation step in both reactions, with Ar · reacting with I3- in the presence of iodine and with ArN2+ in its absence. The relevance of these reactions to iododediazoniation is discussed.

Abstract The major product of uridine gamma irradiation in aerated aqueous solution (10-3 ᴍ, pH ~6) has been identified: N-(β-ᴅ-ribofuranosyl) -formamide. Thin-layer silica gel chromatography and spectroscopic methods (mass spectrometry. NMR, IR, optical rotation) enabled us to isolate and characterize this product. It may be assumed that this substance resulted from the hydrolytic degradation of unstable hydroxy-hydroperoxides. It was also prepared by uridine oxydation with pertrifluoracetic acid. A similar major compound in the radiolysis of uridylic acid has been found

Abstract Conjugating an anticancer drug of high biological efficacy but large cytotoxicity with a “transporting” molecule of low toxicity constitutes a valuable approach to design safe drug delivery system. In the present study, doxorubicin (DOX) a drug of large cardiotoxicity was chemically conjugated to a C60-fullerene. The synthesized molecule, a fullerene-doxorubicin conjugate (Ful-DOX), was characterized using the 1H NMR and MALDI TOF mass spectrometry. The absorption and fluorescence spectra and dynamic light scattering of the conjugate were recorded in an aqueous solution, while the impact on viability of several cancer cell lines of the free DOX and the conjugate was compared using the SRB and WST-1 assays. A low antiproliferative activity of the conjugate as compared to the free DOX is a consequence of the presence of fullerene moiety in the former, which is also responsible for the conjugate aggregation in an aqueous solution. Unlike free DOX, these aggregates cannot pass through the nuclear membrane (as demonstrated by the confocal microscopy measurements), which makes them marginally cytotoxic.

Pyrrolidine-1-carbothiohydrazide was prepared by the transamination reaction of 4-methyl-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide with pyrrolidine in MeCN. 2-pyridineformamide 3-pyrrolidinyl-thiosemicarbazone (HAmPyrr) was synthesized by the reduction of cyanopyridine in the presence of pyrrolidine-1-carbothiohydrazide in MeOH with Na metal. The synthesized compound was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The prominent (M+1) peak (m/z) of HAmPyrr in the electron spray ionization mass spectrum was found at 250.09 which correspond to the molecular ion plus H. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jncs.v29i0.9234Journal of Nepal Chemical SocietyVol. 29, 2012Page: 28-33Uploaded date : 12/3/2013

A series of [Cu(P^P)(N^N)][PF6] compounds are reported in which N^N is 2,9-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (2,9-Br2phen), 3,8-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (3,8-Br2phen) or 4,7-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Br2phen) and P^P is bis(2-(diphenylphosphano)phenyl)ether (POP) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (xantphos). The compounds were characterized by solution multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Each compound underwent a partially reversible or irreversible copper-centred oxidation, the highest potential being for 2,9-Br2phen-containing compounds. In solution, the compounds are weak yellow or orange emitters, whereas powdered samples exhibit yellow emissions with photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 45% for [Cu(xantphos)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] with an excited state lifetime τ1/2 = 9.9 μs. Values of λemmax for [Cu(POP)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] and [Cu(xantphos)(2,9-Br2phen)][PF6] are blue-shifted with respect to compounds with the 3,8-and 4,7-isomers, both in solution and in the solid state.

ABSTRACTRecently we have synthesized several new aryl compounds substituted with two or more trinitromethyl groups. Vacuum pyrolysis of one of these—±,±,±,±’,±’,±’-hexanitro-p-xylene (p-HNX)—gave the title compound via 1,6-elimination of N2O4. Structural assignment of TNQ is based on spectral evidence (UV, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry) and conversion to the known l,4-bis(bromodinitromethyl)benzene. Evidence for the formation of the TNQ radical anion has been obtained.

The fluorescence spectra of the title compound have been measured in ethanol and in aqueous solutions of different pH. In ethanol the neutral molecule's fluorescence (at 360 nm) is observed, whereas in aqueous solutions emission occurs from the anion (at 428 nm) and from a "tautomeric" species (at 460 nm), but not from the neutral molecule. An aqueous solution at pH 3, which contains about 30% of ethanol gives a broad fluorescence band ranging from the near uv to the orange region of the spectrum. Contrarily, 7-methoxylepidone has no fluorescence maximum in the visible part of the spectrum.

<p>Building molecular machine has long been a dream of scientists as it is expected to revolutionize many aspects of technology and medicine. Implementing the solid-state molecular motion is the prerequisite for a practical molecular machine. However, few works on solid-state molecular motion have been reported and it is almost impossible to “see” the motion even if it happens. Here the light-driven molecular motion in solid state is discovered in two non-conjugated molecules <i>s</i>-DPE and <i>s</i>-DPE-TM, resulting in the formation of excited-state though-space complex (ESTSC). Meanwhile, the newly formed ESTSC generates an abnormal visible emission which is termed as clusteroluminescence. Notably, the original packing structure can recover from ESTSC when the light source is removed. These processes have been confirmed by time-resolved spectroscopy and quantum mechanics calculation. This work provides a new strategy to manipulate and “see” solid-state molecular motion and gains new insights into the mechanistic picture of clusteroluminescence.<br></p>
