چکیده

Density functional calculations on a range of hydrogen bonded clusters of cisplatin are reported. A systematic search of 1:1 cisplatin:water complexes reveals only three stable minima, which contain a number of common, recurring interactions, such as an N-H...O-H...Cl bridging mode. Expanding these clusters by adding water molecules leads to a model of the first solvation shell of cisplatin, which contains the above motifs along with several strong water-water interactions. The strengths of such interactions are rationalized on the basis of electrostatic potentials, and quantified by use of Atoms in Molecules properties. This analysis also allows us to estimate cisplatin's position on Abraham's hydrogen bond acidity and basicity scales, indicating that cisplatin is a strong donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonds due to the dominance of hard, electrostatic interactions. The effects of this explicit solvation on the barrier to hydrolysis, and hence activation, of cisplatin are explored, indicating a slightly higher barrier than in the gas phase, leading to better agreement with experiment than either gas phase or continuum solvation calculations.

Role of Hydrogen Transfer and Ionic Bonding on RR, SS and RS Medetomidine Conglomerates/Acids Stability: A Theoretical Study

This study focuses on RR, SS and RS medetomidine (MM) and inclusion of several achiral acids to distinguish which acid can help conglomerate formation instead of crystallizating racemic mixtures by defining the low-lying energy of their structures. Favorable orientation of acids was determined in interaction with the MM enantiomers after optimization. The most noticeable interactions include hy...
