Aim and Objective: Synthesis of new .-aminophosphonates containing quinazoline moiety through Kabachnik-Fields reaction in the presence of copper triflate catalyst [32], followed by studying their antimicrobial activities and in vitro anticancer activities against liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) with the hope that new anticancer agents could be developed. Also, the quantum chemical calculations are performed using density functional theory (DFT) to study the effect of the changes of molecular and electronic structures on the biological activity of the investigated compounds. Materials and Method: The structures of the synthesized compounds are confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR and MS spectral data. The synthesized compounds show significant antimicrobial and also remarkable cytotoxicity anticancer activities against liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2). Density functional theory (DFT) was performed to study the effect of the molecular and electronic structure changes on the biological activity. Results: It was found that the electronic structure of the substituents affects on the reaction yield. The electron withdrawing substituent, NO2 group 3b, on the aromatic aldehydes gave a good yield more than the electron donating substituent, OH group 3c. The electron deficient on the carbon atom of the aldehydic group may increase the interaction of the Lewis acid (Cu(OTf)2) and the Lewis base (imine nitrogen), and accordingly, facilitate the formation of imine easily, which is attacked by the nucleophilic phosphite species to give the α- aminophosphonates. Conclusion: The newly synthesized compounds exhibit a remarkable inhibition of the growth of Grampositive, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi at low concentrations. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds showed a significant cytotoxicity against the liver cancer cell line (HepG 2). Also, it was shown from the quantum chemical calculations that the electron-withdrawing substituent increases the biological activity of the α-aminophosphonates more than the electron donating group which was in a good agreement with the experimental results. Also, a good agreement between the experimental FT-IR and the calculated one was found.

This work presents a complete vibrational analysis of iron [ Fe (II) and Fe (III)] and nickel [ Ni (II)] complexes with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin [OTPPH] and 5,20-bis(p-tolyl)-10,15-diphenyl-21-oxaporphyrin [ODTDPPH]. In these porphyrins, a furan ring replaces one of the pyrrole rings. The six-coordinate (OTPP) FeIIICl2 and (ODTDPP) FeIIICl2 as well as the five-coordinate (OTPP) FeIICl and (OTPP) NiIICl complexes were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. The experimental part of this work involved Fourier-transform absorption infrared (FT-IR), resonance Raman (RR), and electron absorption (UV-vis) measurements for all of the investigated complexes. In the theoretical section, optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies for model compounds are provided. The theoretical calculations were performed at the B3LYP level with the LANL2DZ basis set. Good agreement was achieved between the experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra. In addition, charge distributions (GAPT) and geometrical aromaticity indices (Bird's I5 and HOMA) were calculated and discussed.

Quantum chemical calculations using semi-empirical, ab initio, density functional theory (DFT) and Møller plesset (MP2) methods were performed on 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene S-oxide derivatives (i.e. bridged dithiophene S-oxides, BTOs). The geometries, stabilities, electronic and thermodynamic properties of the compounds were studied. The thermodynamic parameters calculated at PM3 were in good agreement with those calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The band gap energies calculated at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level for the BTOs were lower than the un-substituted trithiophene but higher than 4H-Cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b’]dithiopene. The absorption λmax calculated using TD-DFT was shifted to longer wavelength by successive replacement of methylene hydrogens of BTO by chlorine and fluorine atoms.

: In this work, 1,2,4-triazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for anticancer activities. Series of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives (4a, b) were prepared via the reaction of N-benzoyl glycine (1) with aromatic aldehydes in presence of fused sodium acetate and acetic anhydride to give 1,3-oxazolinone derivatives (2a, b), followed by condensation with 1-(ethoxycarbonyl) hydrazine (3) in glacial acetic acid. Compounds (4a, b) then reacted with acetic anhydride, ethyl chloroacetate and 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine yielded the corresponding to N-acetyl derivatives (5a, b), N-(ethoxycarbonyl) methyl derivative (6) and 1,2-disubstituted hydrazine (7), respectively. The structures of the 1,2,4-triazine derivatives were confirmed by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, MS and elemental analyses. Anticancer activity of some 1,2,4-triazine derivatives (4-7) have been investigated. The results revealed that compounds 4a (IC50= 2.7μM), 5a (IC50= 1.5μM), and 5b (IC50= 3.9μM) show promising inhibitory growth efficacy compared to a standard antitumor drug (IC50= 4.6μM). These three compounds can be considered as potential agents against human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (HepG-2).

Although anisyl units are basically poor ligands for metal ions, the rigid placements of their oxygens during synthesis rather than during complexation are undoubtedly responsible for the enhanced binding and selectivity of the spherand. We used standard B3LYP/6-31G** (5d) density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the complexation between spherands containing five anisyl groups, with CH2–O–CH2 (2) and CH2–S–CH2 (3) units in an 18-membered macrocyclic ring, and the cationic guests (Li+, Na+, and K+). Our geometric structure results for spherands 1, 2, and 3 are in good agreement with the previously reported X-ray diffraction data. The absolute values of the binding energy of all the spherands are inversely proportional to the ionic radius of the guests. The results, taken as a whole, show that replacement of one anisyl group by CH2–O–CH2 (2) and CH2–S–CH2 (3) makes the cavity bigger and less preorganized. In addition, both the binding and specificity decrease for small ions. The spherands 2 and 3 appear beautifully preorganized to bind all guests, so it is not surprising that their binding energies are close to the parent spherand 1. Interestingly, there is a clear linear relation between the radius of the cavity and the binding energy (R2 = 0.999).Key words: spherands, preorganization, density functional theory, binding energy, cavity size.

Metal sulphides constitute cheap, naturally abundant, and environmentally friendly materials for energy storage applications and chemistry. In particular, iron (II) monosulphide (FeS, mackinawite) is a material of relevance in theories of the origin of life and for heterogenous catalytic applications in the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) towards small organic molecules. In natural mackinawite, Fe is often substituted by other metals, however, little is known about how such substitutions alter the chemical activity of the material. Herein, the effect of Ni doping on the structural, electronic, and catalytic properties of FeS surfaces is explored via dispersion-corrected density functional theory simulations. Substitutional Ni dopants, introduced on the Fe site, are readily incorporated into the pristine matrix of FeS, in good agreement with experimental measurements. The CO2 molecule was found to undergo deactivation and partial desorption from the doped surfaces, mainly at the Ni site when compared to undoped FeS surfaces. This behaviour is attributed to the energetically lowered d-band centre position of the doped surface, as a consequence of the increased number of paired electrons originating from the Ni dopant. The reaction and activation energies of CO2 dissociation atop the doped surfaces were found to be increased when compared to pristine surfaces, thus helping to further elucidate the role Ni could have played in the reactivity of FeS. It is expected that Ni doping in other Fe-sulphides may have a similar effect, limiting the catalytic activity of these phases when this dopant is present at their surfaces.

Abstract${\text{Pb}}_{5}{\text{O}}_{2}\left[{\text{WO}}_{6}\right]$ was discovered as a frequently observed side phase during our investigation on lead tungstates. Its crystal structure was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction ($P{2}_{1}/n$, $a=7.4379\left(2\right)$ Å, $b=12.1115\left(4\right)$ Å, $c=10.6171\left(3\right)$ Å, $\beta =90.6847\left(8\right)$°, $Z=4$, ${R}_{\text{int}}=0.038$, ${R}_{1}=0.020$, $\omega {R}_{2}=0.029$, 4188 data, 128 param.) and is isotypic with ${\text{Pb}}_{5}{\text{O}}_{2}\left[{\text{Te}}_{6}\right]$. ${\text{Pb}}_{5}{\text{O}}_{2}\left[{\text{WO}}_{6}\right]$ comprises a layered structure built up by non-condensed [WO6]${}^{6-}$ octahedra and ${\left[{\text{O}}_{4}{\text{Pb}}_{10}\right]}^{12+}$ oligomers. The compound was characterised by spectroscopic measurements (Infrared (IR), Raman and Ultraviolet–visible (UV/Vis) spectra) as well as quantum chemical and electrostatic calculations (density functional theory (DFT), MAPLE) yielding a band gap of 2.9 eV fitting well with the optical one of 2.8 eV. An estimation of the refractive index based on the Gladstone-Dale relationship yielded $n\approx 2.31$. Furthermore first results of the thermal analysis are presented.

AbstractNew derivatives were obtained from natural nordentatin (1) previously isolated from the methanol fraction of Clausena excavata by an acylation method. Herein, we report ten new pyranocoumarin derivatives 1a–1j. Their structures were elucidated based on UV-vis, FT-IR, NMR, and DART-MS data. The α-glucosidase inhibition and anticancer activities of nordentatin (1) and its derivatives were also evaluated. The α-glucosidase inhibition assay exhibited that the derivatives 1b, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1h, 1i, and 1j possess higher inhibitory activity for α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 1.54, 9.05, 4.87, 20.25, 12.34, 5.67, and 2.43 mM, whereas acarbose was used as the positive control, IC50 = 7.57 mM. All derivatives exhibited a weak cytotoxicity against a cervical cancer (HeLa) cell line with the IC50 between 0.25 and 1.25 mM. They also showed moderate to low growth inhibition of a breast cancer (T47D) cell line with IC50 values between 0.043 and 1.5 mM, but their activity was lower than that of the parent compound, nordentatin (1) (IC50 = 0.041 mM).
