Structures and Encapsulation Motifs of Functional Molecules Probed by Laser Spectroscopic and Theoretical Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report laser spectroscopic and computational studies of host/guest hydration interactions between functional molecules (hosts) and water (guest) in supersonic jets. The examined hosts include dibenzo-18-crown-6-ether (DB18C6), benzo-18-crown-6-ether (B18C6) and calix[4]arene (C4A). The gaseous complexes between the functional molecular hosts and water are generated under jet-cooled conditions. Various laser spectroscopic methods are applied for these species: the electronic spectra are observed by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), mass-selected resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and ultraviolet-ultraviolet hole-burning (UV-UV HB) spectroscopy, whereas the vibrational spectra for each individual species are observed by infrared-ultraviolet double resonance (IR-UV DR) spectroscopy. The obained results are analyzed by first principles electronic structure calculations. We discuss the conformations of the host molecules, the structures of the complexes, and key interactions forming the specific complexes.

Comparison of theoretical effects of encapsulation floxuridine anticancer drug with boron nitride nanotube and carbon nanotube with NBO and QTAIM studies
Background: The purpose of using nano-carriers for drugs delivery, such as nanotubes, is slow release of drug and reducing side effects of drugs. Drugs are very active due to their many functional groups. Therefore, reactivity of drug is reduced by being in nanotube field due to electronic resonance of drug with nanotube and it stays longer in body. As a result, less amount of drug is used and ...

Background & Aims: Drugs are highly active due to their many functional groups and can be easily destroyed by stomach acid and excreted before reaching target tissue. Thus, by encapsulating, a sheath is placed around drug to reduce reactivity of the drug due to stereo electronic resonance with nanotube and consequently drug stays longer in body. As a result, you can consume a smaller dose of dr...
