Bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 (n = 0, 1) were prepared by the reactions of the corresponding carboranyl acyl chlorides with ethylenediamine. Crystal molecular structure of 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C-1,2-C2B10H11)2 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Treatment of bis(carboranyl)amides 1,1′-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-1,2-C2B10H11)2 with ammonium or cesium fluoride results in partial deboronation of the ortho-carborane cages to the nido-carborane ones with formation of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)C(CH2)n-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2−. The attempted reaction of [7,7′(8′)-μ-(CH2NH(O)CCH2-7,8-C2B9H11)2]2− with GdCl3 in 1,2-dimethoxy- ethane did not give the expected metallacarborane. The stability of different conformations of Gd-containing metallacarboranes has been estimated by quantum-chemical calculations using [3,3-μ-DME-3,3′-Gd(1,2-C2B9H11)2]− as a model. It was found that in the most stable conformation the CH groups of the dicarbollide ligands are in anti,anti-orientation with respect to the DME ligand, while any rotation of the dicarbollide ligand reduces the stability of the system. This makes it possible to rationalize the design of carborane ligands for the synthesis of gadolinium metallacarboranes on their base.

The thermal decomposition of organic peroxides are widely used as coagulant for organic compounds, however, its thermal hazardous characteristics have already caused serious accidents in chemical industries, which limited its application in much more strict conditions. Organic peroxides of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are two new candidates fitted for industrial explosive. However, as we best known there is little reports available on the geometry structure in the past decades. In this work, by means of quantum chemistry calculation, the relation of safety with molecular structure of C18H10O11 and C18H18O7 are discussed. The molecules with more activity O and the activity part more dispersedly exhibit higher stable, and the configuration has good safety. All the energy of molecule b is higher than that of molecule a. The stability of different configurations are 6a>7a>8a>9a>5a>1a>4a>3a=2a and 1b>7b>5b>6b>4b>2b>3b>8b, respectively, suggesting the structures of 6a,3a,2a,1b,8b exhibit high safety.

The structural polymorphism in β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques from Alzheimer disease (AD) has been recognized as an important pathological factor. Plaques from sporadic AD patients contain fibrillar deposits of various amyloid proteins/peptides, including posttranslational modified Aβ (PTM-Aβ) subtypes. Although many PTM-Aβs were shown to accelerate the fibrillation process, increase neuronal cytotoxicity of aggregates, or enhance the stability of fibrils, the contribution of PTM-Aβs to structural polymorphisms and their pathological roles remains unclear. We report here the NMR-based structure for the Ser-8-phosphorylated 40-residue Aβ (pS8-Aβ40) fibrils, which shows significant difference to the wild-type fibrils, with higher cross-seeding efficiency and thermodynamic stability. Given these physicochemical properties, the structures originated from pS8-Aβ40 fibrils may potentially dominate the polymorphisms in the mixture of wild-type and phosphorylated Aβ deposits. Our results imply that Aβ subtypes with “seeding-prone” properties may influence the polymorphisms of amyloid plaques through the cross-seeding process.

Abstract[(Me3P)3CoN2]2Mg(THF)4 reacts with potassium metal to give [KN2Co(PMe3)3]6. The same compound is obtained via substitution of olefin in cobaltates K+[Co(olefin)(PMe3)3]- by molecular nitrogen under ambient conditions. Infrared data show that association is preserved even in ether solvents. The stability of cobaltates [Co(PMe3)3L]- increases in the order L = olefin < dinitrogen < PMe3.Reactions of the title compound proceed as oxidative additions to the monomer with loss of molecular nitrogen. Methyl iodide and allyl bromide yield the fluxional complexes CoCH3(PMe3)4 and η3-C3H5Co(PMe3)3, respectively. Ethyl bromide givescis-CoH(C2H4)(PMe3)3 via β-elimination and coordination of ethylene. The molecular structure of [KN2Co(PMe3)3]6 reveals a novel type of cluster: a double cube made up from six KN2 units with six exo-Co(PMe3)3 groups (d(NN) = 116-118 pm, d(CoN) = 170-171 pm).

Extreme thermophiles produce two types of unusual polyamine: long linear polyamines such as caldopentamine and caldohexamine, and branched polyamines such as quaternary ammonium compounds [e.g. tetrakis(3-aminopropyl)ammonium]. To clarify the physiological roles of long linear and branched polyamines in thermophiles, we synthesized them chemically and tested their effects on the stability of ds (double-stranded) and ss (single-stranded) DNAs and tRNA in response to thermal denaturation, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Linear polyamines stabilized dsDNA in proportion to the number of amino nitrogen atoms within their molecular structure. We used the empirical results to derive formulae that estimate the melting temperature of dsDNA in the presence of polyamines of a particular molecular composition. ssDNA and tRNA were stabilized more effectively by tetrakis(3-aminopropyl)ammonium than any of the other polyamines tested. We propose that long linear polyamines are effective to stabilize DNA, and tetrakis(3-aminopropyl)ammonium plays important roles in stabilizing RNAs in thermophile cells.

In this study, molecular structure and electronic properties of eleven BxLiy (x = 1–3, y = 1–3) clusters are examined using the Perdew, Burke and Ernezerhof (PBE) method in the Quantum ESPRESSO program. Three main groups, consisting of two atoms, three atoms and four atoms, are selected as the starting points. The stable configurations, their binding energies per atom (Eb), dissociation energy (ΔE), and the second difference in energy (Δ2E), HOMO-LUMO (HOMO: Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital LUMO: Lowest Occupied Molecular Orbital) gaps, total energy, frequency, force on atom, point group, bond length, density of state (DOS) and band structures are investigated for BxLiy (x = 1–3, y = 1–3) clusters. The results of binding energies (Eb), dissociation energy (ΔE) and the second difference in energy (Δ2E) show that BLi, BLi2 first isomer, BLi2 second isomer, B2Li2 first isomer, B2Li2 second isomer and BLi3 are the most stable among all 11 molecules of BxLiy (x = 1–3, y = 1–3). The stability of BxLiy (x = 1–3, y = 1–3) clusters depend on both the formation of geometrical structures on the number of Li atoms. As the number of Li atoms in the group increases, the stability of BxLiy clusters also increases. Within each group formation of geometrical structures, the stability of BxLiy clusters changes. It is observed that they may change the capability of chemical reactions in BxLiy clusters.
