An ab initio study of a promising nido-carboranylporphyrin for the boron neutron capture therapy of tumors, and of its closo precursor is reported. Base-induced deboronation of neutral ZnDCP , believed to exist as a mixture of 3 stereoisomers, produces the tetraanionic ZnDCP 4- as a complex mixture of isomers. 1 H NMR data and ab initio calculations support these findings. The position of the axial pyridine ligand in ZnDCP 4- and the orientation of the endo hydrogen atoms on the open faces of the nido-carborane cages significantly influence the total energy of the ZnDCP 4- structures. It is suggested that the "cocktail" of isomers possibly enhances the biological activity of tetra(nido-carboranyl)porphyrins, such as ZnDCP 4-.

The synthesis of the O-glycosylated serine-10 analogue of contulakin-G yielded both the [L-] and the [D-Ser10] analogues. The 1H NMR study indicated that the sugars of the two Ser10-glycosylated peptides lacked the hydrogen bond to the peptide backbone that exists in contulakin-G. NOEs showed that the glycan part of the [D-Ser10] analogue had a different orientation to the peptide backbone than that of the [L-Ser10] analogue. The peptide backbones in the two compounds were found to exist mainly in random coil conformations, with transient turns at the site of glycosylation. A transient turn was also found at the C-terminus of the [D-Ser10] glycopeptide. The NMR data indicated that the average conformation of the [D-Ser10] analogue resembles the conformation of contulakin-G more than the [L-Ser] does. Since biological data showed that the [D-Ser10] glycopeptide was as active as contulakin-G, while the [L-Ser10] glycopeptide was only slightly active at more than 100 times the dose, it is possible that it is the orientation of the glycan relative to the peptide chain that is actually recognized by the proteolytic enzyme.Key words: conformation, contulakin-G analogues, NMR, O-linked glycopeptide.

We have investigated the reaction between La(NO3)3•6H2O and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) in acetonitrile by means of 139La, 17O, 13C, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The 139La spectra show up to three different sites with variable intensities attributed to solvated La(III) ions and to two complex species with one or two bipy moieties in the La(III) coordination sphere. 17O NMR indicates that during the complexation reaction, the coordinated water is totally displaced from the coordination sphere whereas the nitrate groups remain coordinated. Proton NMR data confirm the water expulsion. In addition, the proton chemical shifts of bipy, in comparison with the 13C NMR data, clearly show an anisotropic shielding when two bipy are coordinated to La(III). Therefore, the two bipy molecules are in close proximity in the coordination sphere. From the NMR results it has been shown that, during the complexation process, five different La(III) species are formed: [La(NO3)3(CH3CN)4], [La(NO3)3(CH3CN)3(H2O)], [La(NO3)3(bipy)(CH3CN)2], [La(NO3)3(bipy)(CH3CN)-(H2O)], and [La(NO3)3(bipy)2]. Each La(III) complex has a coordination member of 10, with NO3− and bipy acting as chelating ligands. Furthermore, the structure of the La(NO3)3(bipy)2 complex in solution shows similarities with the solid state compound. Finally, comparisons are made with the La(III) complexes previously obtained with 1,10-phenanthroline.

According to 1H NMR study in fcc hydrides of disordered Ti-V alloys hydrogen atoms are distributed over both octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The occupancy of octahedral sites increases with the vanadium concentration. In hydrides of ternary Ti-V-Cr alloys hydrogen atoms occupy tetrahedral sites only.

Two phase transitions of 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol (pCBA) and 4-bromobenzyl alcohol (pBBA), from the low-temperature phase (LTP) to the intermediate-temperature phase (ITP) and from ITP to the room-temperature phase (RTP), were investigated by 2H NMR and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystal dynamics in each phase were studied using the 2H NMR spectra, the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1) and the relaxation time of quadrupole order (T1Q) for the samples, where the hydrogen of the -OH group was selectively deutrated. The 2H NMR 1 of both crystals in the RTP were dominated by the fluctuation of the electric field gradient at 2H nucleus caused by vibrational motions of the -CH2OH group. In the LTP of both crystals, the fast jump of hydrogen atoms between the two sites corresponding approximately to the positions of the hydroxyl hydrogen atoms in the RTP and LTP were found from 2H NMR spectra. The results of T1 and T1Q in the LTP revealed that the jump of hydrogen atoms occurs in asymmetric potential wells and that these potential wells gradually approach symmetric ones with increasing temperature on the high-temperature side in the LTP

Characteristic 1H NMR parameters of 88 acyl groups, hitherto found as ester substituents in natural sesquiterpenic lactones, were determined from the measured spectra as well as literature data. Characteristic 13C NMR chemical shifts for 45 acyl groups were obtained in the same way; for the remaining acyls with hitherto unknown 13C NMR data the values were calculated on the basis of semiempirical relationships.

O2-Isopropyl-2′-deoxythymidine (i2dT) crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P43212, and the cell dimensions are a = b = 8.7667(2), c = 37.1943(12) Å. X-ray intensity data were measured with a diffractometer, and the structure was solved by direct methods. Least-squares refinement, which included all hydrogen atoms, converged at R = 0.036 for 1780 observed reflections. In analogy with other O-alkylated bases, the exocyclic O2—C8 bond is syn-periplanar to the C2—N3 bond in the pyrimidine ring. Angular distortions in the base can be correlated with those observed in O4-alkylated pyrimidines and O6-alkylated guanines. The conformation of the glycosyl bond is anti with χCN = 27.1°. The furanose ring adopts a C2′ endo pucker and the conformation about C4′—C5′ is gauche+. 1H nmr data show that these conformations are also preferred in solution.

The 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of 1-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-X-2-Y-ethylenes and some their thienyl analogues are presented. Geometrical arrangement of the trisubstituted ethylenes was adduced from vicinal coupling constants 3J(C, H) for the carbon atom at the functional group attached to the double bond and the ethylene proton. The orientation of the heterocyclic ring towards the double bond of the side chain was determined from the 1H NMR data. The preferred s-cis or s-trans conformations of 5-nitro-2-furylethylene derivatives is substituent at the double bond dependent; all thiophene derivatives under study were found in the s-trans conformation.
