Abstract:

The energy minima of systems made of an alanine molecule, a lithium cation and a various number of watermolecules have been determined with the help of quantum mechanical computations at the B3LYP DensityFunctional Theory level of computation and the standard 6-311++G (d,p) basis set. Several structures, close inenergy are found and the presence of one or two water molecules around the cation modifies the order ofstability. The results are discussed in view of better understanding the structure of aqueous solutions of thesespecies and the possible interactions of lithium cations with peptides.

Solvatochromic Properties of Heteroleptic Copper(II) Complexes Containing N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine and 2-Aacetylcyclopentanone Ligands

Three new heteroleptic copper(II) complexes, [(tmen)Cu(dike)H2O]X where tmen = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, dike = 2-acetylcyclopentanone anion and X= ClO4- (1), Cl- (2) and Br- (3) are prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements and IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy techniques. The complex 1 is fairly soluble in various organic solvents and demonstrates d...

Interaction of silver(I) ions with N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis- (2-hydroxypropyl)-ethylenediamine (Quadrol)

N,N,N’,N’-tetrakis-(2-hydroxypropyl)-ethylenediamine (Sche me 1), which is also known as Quadrol (Q), due to its perfect chelating properties with regard to copper(II) ions is widely used as a ligand in electroless copper plating solutions [1–6]. Therefore, analysis of literature sources on the interaction of metal ions with Quadrol shows that the majority of publications deal with copper(II). ...

Conformational properties of N-acetyl-L-alanine N',N'-dimethylamide.

Ab initio/DFT analysis of the conformational properties of free Ac-Ala-NMe(2) (N-acetyl-L-alanine-N',N'-dimethylamide) in terms of the N-H.O, N-H.N, C-H.O hydrogen bonds and C(delta+) = O(delta-) dipole attractions was performed. The Ala residue combined with the C-terminal tertiary amide prefers an extended conformation and that characteristic of the (i + 1)th position of the betaVIb turn. The...

COPPER(II) AND NICKEL(II) CHELATES WITH DIHYDROGEN TRANS-I,2-DIAMINOCYCLOHEXANE-N,N,N',N'- TETRAACETATE(2--) ION (H2CDTA2-). SYNTHESIS, XRD STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF [Cu(H2CDTA)] "H20 AND [Ni(H2CDTA) (H20)] • 4H20

-Stoichiometric reactions of metal hydroxycarbonates with the acid trans-l,2cyclohexanediaminotetraacetic acid (H4CDTA) in water under reduced pressure yielded [Cu(H2CDTA)]'H20 (I) and [Ni(H2CDTA)(H20)]'4H20 (II). Both compounds were characterized by TG-DTA analysis, spectral properties (IR, reflectance and RSE) and Xray diffraction. In I the copper(II) atom exhibits a distorted square-base coo...
