Synthesis, Structure, and Photophysical Properties of Platinum Compounds with Thiophene-Derived Cyclohexyl Diimine Ligands

Platinum(II) and platinum(IV) compounds were prepared by the stereoselective and regioselective reactions of thiophene-derived cyclohexyl diimine C^N^N-ligands with [Pt 2 Me 4 (μ-SMe 2 ) 2 ]. Newly synthesized ligands were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and Pt(II)/Pt(IV) compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. UV–vis absorbance and photoluminescence measurements were performed on newly synthesized complexes, as well as structurally related Pt(II)/Pt(IV) compounds with benzene-derived cyclohexyl diimine ligands, in dichloromethane solution, as solids, and as 5% by weight PMMA-doped films. DFT and TD-DFT calculations were performed, and the results were compared with the observed spectroscopic properties of the newly synthesized complexes. X-ray total scattering measurements and real space pair distribution function analysis were performed on the synthesized complexes to examine the local- and intermediate-range atomic structures of the emissive solid states.

Extraction of Furfural and Furfural/5-Hydroxymethylfurfural from Mixed Lignocellulosic Biomass-Derived Feedstocks

We present a combined in silico and experimental study on the extraction of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in aqueous–organic biphasic systems. We predict the liquid–liquid equilibria and furfural/HMF partition coefficients of over 2200 water-organic biphasic systems using the multiscale COSMO-RS model and measure experimentally single-component (furfural) and mixture (furfural and HMF) partition coefficients at room and dehydration reaction-relevant temperatures in 28 solvents. We find the experimental data to be within a factor of 2 from the COSMO-RS predictions. Even though furfural and HMF have chemical similarity, the slight differences in molecular structure render the separation of furfural easier by the supply of more solvents of higher partition coefficient for extraction. We leverage this molecular difference and experimentally demonstrate that with an additional extraction step, using dichloromethane or toluene, we can selectively extract furfural from furfural-HMF mixtures, which can coexist in lignocellulosic biomass dehydration products, despite their partition coefficients being generally correlated. We complement solvent selection criteria for biphasic lignocellulosic biomass processes with a simple mass balance extraction model for determining volume ratios in multistage extraction. Lastly, the molecular nature of the preferential furfural extraction is rationalized using COSMO-RS σ-profile analysis.

Polarity-Tolerant Chloride Binding in Foldamer Capsules by Programmed Solvent-Exclusion

Persistent anion binding in a wide range of solution environments is a key challenge that continues to motivate and demand new strategies in synthetic receptor design. Though strong binding in low-polarity solvents has become routine, our ability to maintain high affinities in high-polarity solvents has not yet reached the standard set by nature. Anions are bound and transported regularly in aqueous environments by proteins that use secondary and tertiary structure to isolate anion binding sites from water. Inspired by this principle of solvent exclusion, we created a sequence-defined foldameric capsule whose global minimum conformation displays a helical folded state and is preorganized for 1:1 anion complexation. The high stability of the folded geometry and its ability to exclude solvent were supported by solid-state and solution phase studies. This capsule then withstood a 4-fold increase in solvent dielectric constant (εr) from dichloromethane (9) to acetonitrile (36) while maintaining a high and solvent-independent affinity of 10 5 M –1 ; ΔG ~ 28 kJ mol –1 . This behavior is unusual. More typical of solvent-dependent behavior, Cl – affinities were seen to plummet in control compounds, such as aryl-triazole macrocycles and pentads, with their solvent-exposed binding cavities susceptible to dielectric screening. Finally, dimethyl sulfoxide denatures the foldamer by putative solvent binding, which then lowers the foldamer’s Cl – affinity to normal levels. Furthermore, the design of this capsule demonstrates a new prototype for the development of potent receptors that can operate in polar solvents and has the potential to help manage hydrophilic anions present in the hydrosphere and biosphere.

Structural modification of fentanyls for their retrospective identification by gas chromatographic analysis using chloroformate chemistry

Abstract The one-step breakdown and derivatization of a panel of nine fentanyls to yield uniquely tagged products that can be detected by Electron Ionization Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (EI-GC-MS) is presented. The method involves the treatment of the synthetic opioids with 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl chloride (TrocCl) at 60 °C for 3 h in dichloromethane and furnishes two products from one fentanyl molecule that can be used to retrospectively identify the original opioid. Parameters that were studied and fully optimized for the method included temperature, solvent, nature of scavenging base and reaction time. One of the two resulting products from the reaction bears the trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc) tag attached to the norfentanyl portion of the original opioid and greatly aids in the opioid detection and identification process. The methodology has been applied to the chemical modification of a panel of nine fentanyls and in all cases the molecular ion peak for the Troc-norfentanyl product bearing the distinctive trichloroethyl isotopic signature can be clearly observed. The method’s LLOD was determined to be 10 ng/mL while its LLOQ was found to be 20 ng/mL. This methodology represents the first application of chloroformates in the chemical modification of this class of synthetic opioids that are notoriously inert to common derivatization strategies available for GC–MS analysis.

Structure retrieval in liquid-phase electron scattering

Electron scattering on liquid samples has been enabled recently by the development of ultrathin liquid sheet technologies. The data treatment of liquid-phase electron scattering has been mostly reliant on methodologies developed for gas electron diffraction, in which theoretical inputs and empirical fittings are often needed to account for the atomic form factor and remove the inelastic scattering background. In this work, we present an alternative data treatment method that is able to retrieve the radial distribution of all the charged particle pairs without the need of either theoretical inputs or empirical fittings. Here, the merits of this new method are illustrated through the retrieval of real-space molecular structure from experimental electron scattering patterns of liquid water, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and dichloromethane.

Mechanistic investigation of a visible light mediated dehalogenation/cyclisation reaction using iron( iii ), iridium( iii ) and ruthenium( ii ) photosensitizers

The mechanism of a visible light-driven dehalogenation/cyclization reaction was investigated using ruthenium(II), iridium(III) and iron(III) photosensitizers by means of steady-state photoluminescence, time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, and nanosecond/femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The nature of the photosensitizer was found to influence the product distribution such that the dehalogenated, non-cyclized products were only detected for the iron photosensitizer. Strikingly, with the iron photosensitizer, large catalytic yields required a low dielectric solvent such as dichloromethane, consistent with a previous publication. This low dielectric solvent allowed ultrafast charge-separation to outcompete geminate charge recombination and improved cage escape efficiency. Finally, the identification of reaction mechanisms unique to the iron, ruthenium, and iridium photosensitizer represents progress towards the long-sought goal of utilizing earth-abundant, first-row transition metals for emerging energy and environmental applications.

Solubilization of PET in binary mixtures of HFIP and DCM

The dissolution of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a critical step for a solvent-based process, yet it typically requires highly corrosive or toxic solvents. Here, we investigate the solubilization and conformational behavior of PET in binary mixtures of hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and dichloromethane (DCM) as a strategy to reduce HFIP usage while maintaining effective dissolution. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements reveal that PET remains molecularly dissolved in HFIP/DCM mixtures up to 50 vol% DCM. Analysis of PET chain conformations shows a transition from Gaussian behavior at low HFIP fractions to more swollen chains at intermediate compositions, accompanied by a counter-intuitive minimum in the radius of gyration at 50% HFIP. Complementary SANS measurements of the binary solvents demonstrate that compositional heterogeneity is maximized at this same solvent composition, suggesting a direct coupling between solvent microstructure and polymer dimensions. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborate the experimental findings, revealing solvent domain formation, preferential solvation of PET by HFIP, and a “caging” effect arising from solvent heterogeneity that leads to polymer coil compaction. Together, these results provide molecular-level insight into polymer behavior in mixed solvent systems and establish HFIP/DCM mixtures as a promising, more sustainable solvent platform for the PET post-process.

Influence of solution phase environmental heterogeneity and fluctuations on vibronic spectra: Perylene diimide molecular chromophore complexes in solution

Ensembles of ab initio parameterized Frenkel-exciton model Hamiltonians for different perylene diimide dimer systems are used, together with various dissipative quantum dynamics approaches, to study the influence of the solvation environment and fluctuations in chromophore relative orientation and packing on the vibronic spectra of two different dimer systems: a π-stacked dimer in aqueous solution in which the relative chromophore geometry is strongly confined by a phosphate bridge and a side-by-side dimer in dichloromethane involving a more flexible alkyne bridge that allows quasi-free rotation of the chromophores relative to one another. These entirely first-principles calculations are found to accurately reproduce the main features of the experimental absorption spectra, providing a detailed mechanistic understanding of how the structural fluctuations and environmental interactions influence the vibronic dynamics and spectroscopy of solutions of these multi-chromophore complexes.

Evaluating the impact of anatomical and physiological variability on human equivalent doses using PBPK models

Abstract Addressing human anatomical and physiological variability is a crucial component of human health risk assessment of chemicals. Experts have recommended probabilistic chemical risk assessment paradigms in which distributional adjustment factors are used to account for various sources of uncertainty and variability, including variability in the pharmacokinetic behavior of a given substance in different humans. In practice, convenient assumptions about the distribution forms of adjustment factors and human equivalent doses (HEDs) are often used. Parameters such as tissue volumes and blood flows are likewise often assumed to be lognormally or normally distributed without evaluating empirical data for consistency with these forms. In this work, we performed dosimetric extrapolations using physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models for dichloromethane (DCM) and chloroform that incorporate uncertainty and variability to determine if the HEDs associated with such extrapolations are approximately lognormal and how they depend on the underlying distribution shapes chosen to represent model parameters. We accounted for uncertainty and variability in PBPK model parameters by randomly drawing their values from a variety of distribution types. We then performed reverse dosimetry to calculate HEDs based on animal points of departure for each set of sampled parameters. Corresponding samples of HEDs were tested to determine the impact of input parameter distributions on their central tendencies, extreme percentiles, and degree of conformance to lognormality. This work demonstrates that the measurable attributes of human variability should be considered more carefully and that generalized assumptions about parameter distribution shapes may lead to inaccurate estimates of extreme percentiles of HEDs.

Practical benzylation of N,N -substituted ethanolamines related to chemical warfare agents for analysis and detection by Electron Ionization Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

The benzylation of three, low-molecular weight N,N-disubstituted ethanolamines related to chemical warfare agents (CWAs) to furnish derivatives with improved Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) profiles is described. Due to their low molecular weight and polar nature, N,N-disubstituted ethanolamines are notoriously difficult to detect by routine GC-MS analyses during Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) proficiency tests (PTs), particularly in scenarios when they are present at low levels (~1-10 ppm) amidst more abundant interferences. Our studies revealed that the optimal derivatization conditions involved the treatment of the ethanolamine with benzyl bromide in the presence of an inorganic base (e.g., Na 2 CO 3 ) in dichloromethane at 55 °C for 2 hours. This optimized set of conditions were then successfully applied to the derivatization of N,N-dimethylethanolamine, N,N-diethylethanolamine and N,N-diisopropylethanolamine present separately at 1 and 10 μg/mL concentrations in a glycerol-rich matrix sample featured in the 48 th OPCW PT. The benzylated derivatives of the three ethanolamines possessed retention times long enough to clear the massive glycerol-containing matrix interferences. In conclusion, the protocol herein is introduced as an alternative method for derivatization of these CWA and pharmaceutically important species and should find broad applicability in laboratories where their routine forensic analysis is carried out.
