The interaction of antitumor drug mitoxantrone (MTX) with double-stranded synthetic RNA homopolymers has been studied by means of spectroscopic (UV-Visible absorption, circular dichroism) techniques. The results show a base specificity in this interaction: the association constant with poly(G)[Formula: see text]poly(C) is higher than with poly(I)[Formula: see text]poly(C).Values of changes of the system enthalpy and entropy due to complex-formation were determined through the temperature dependence of the binding constant. Calculations show that due to the intercalation interaction of MTX, the values of changes of the system entropy and enthalpy differ from those obtained at ehtidium bromide interaction with synthetic polyribonucleotides, which shows that the intercalation interaction of MTX with double-stranded RNA significantly differs from that of ethidium bromide with RNA.

4-Methoxybenzyl cations bearing α-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl) and α-(N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl) substituents have been generated photochemically upon irradiation of precursors with pentafluorobenzoate or 4-methoxybenzoate leaving groups. The ions have been observed with flash photolysis in 40:60 acetonitrile:water and in 50:50 methanol:water, and rate constants were measured for their decay in solvent alone and for their capture by azide ion. The cations so studied and their lifetimes in 40% acetonitrile are 6, ArC+H-CONMe2, 0.6 μs; 2, ArC+H-CSNMe2, 7 ms; and 4, ArC+(CH3)-CSMe2, 6 ms, where Ar = 4-MeOC6H4. The cation 4 reacts with solvent by elimination of a proton from the α-methyl group, and the rate constant for solvent addition must be less than 1 s-1. The CSNMe2 substituted cations are 105-107-fold longer lived than analogs where the thioamide group has been replaced with an α-methyl. The UV-visible absorption spectra of these two cations also show significant differences from those of typical 4-methoxybenzyl cations. Thus, both the lifetimes and spectra point to a strong interaction of the benzylic centre with the thioamide group. Key words: flash photolysis, thiocarbamoyl stabilized carbocation, photosolvolysis.

The protonation constant (pKa) of SO42–(aq) has been determined at ionic strengths 0.5 M ≤I ≤4.0 M in NaCl and CsCl media at 25˚C by using Raman spectroscopy. These data were used to calculate the association constant of the NaSO4–(aq) ion pair in CsCl media. The results are in excellent agreement with previous values obtained by other techniques. The (pKa) was also measured at I = 4 M in both media at temperatures up to 85˚C and the associated enthalpy and entropy changes were calculated. However, reliable thermodynamic data for the ion-pairing reaction could not be obtained at higher temperatures probably because of competition from CsSO4–(aq).

The characteristics of host-guest complexes between cucurbit[n]uril (CB [n]) and phenylalanine were investigated by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy in acetate buffer solution at room temperature. It was found that the UV-visible absorption increased steadily with constantly dropping the high concentration of cucurbit[6]uril (CB [6]) and cucurbit[8]uril (CB [8]) in the phenylalanine solution which indicates that there are some interaction betweenCB [n] and phenylalanine.Then CB [6] and phenylalanine at molar ratio of 1:1 to weigh while CB [8] and phenylalanine at molar ratio of 1:2, respectively, are both demonstrated by 1H NMR spectra. 1H NMR spectrum of complexes was obtained, indicating an enthalpic driving force for host-guest complexes. The possible interaction mechanism and inclusion mode were also discussed. This work may extend the application range of CB [n] in supramolecular and pharmaceutical analysis.

Nanocubes, monodispersed nanocrystals and nanospheres of Au have been prepared by a simple reaction between HAuCl4·4H2O, NaOH and NH2OH·HCl in the presence of gelatin. The role of gelatin and the affection of pH in producing the nanoparticles of Au were discussed. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The sizes of the monodispersed nanocrystals of Au were estimated by Debye-Scherrer formula according to XRD spectrum.
