Dodecavanadate, [V12 O32 ]4- (V12), possesses a 4.4 Å cavity entrance, and the cavity shows unique electrophilicity. Owing to the high polarizability, Br2 was inserted into V12, inducing the inversion of one of the VO5 square pyramids to form
We report the first UV-vis spectroscopic study of bromine molecules confined in clathrate hydrate cages. Bromine in its natural hydrate occupies 51262 and 51263 lattice cavities. Bromine also can be encapsulated into the larger 51264 cages of a type II hydrate formed mainly from tetrahydrofuran or
Elimination of molecular bromine is probed in the B (3)Pi(ou) (+)<--X (1)Sigma(g) (+) transition following photodissociation of CHBr(2)Cl at 248 nm by using cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy. The quantum yield for the Br(2) elimination reaction is determined to be 0.05+/-0.03. The nascent
To assess their possible use for estrogen receptor (ER)-directed radiotherapy of estrogen receptor-containing cancers, two estrogens were synthesized with the Auger electron-emitting nuclide bromine-80m and administered to immature female rats. Both the triphenylethylene-based estrogen,
The serotonin transporter (SERT) is the primary target for the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). However, the structural basis for the extraordinarily high binding affinity of the widely prescribed SSRI, paroxetine, to human SERT (hSERT) has not yet been fully elucidated. Our previous
A functional role for a protein cavity that stabilizes inhibitor binding has been established based on a comparison of Xe-derivatized and inhibitor-bound X-ray crystal structures in dehaloperoxidase-hemoglobin (DHP A) of Amphitrite ornata. The internal binding affinity of four different inhibitors,
The foundational goal of structural DNA nanotechnology-the field that uses oligonucleotides as a molecular building block for the programmable self-assembly of nanostructured systems-was to use DNA to construct three-dimensional (3D) lattices for solving macromolecular structures. The programmable
The primary elimination channel of bromine molecule in one-photon dissociation of CH(2)BrC(O)Br at 248 nm is investigated using cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy. By means of spectral simulation, the ratio of nascent vibrational population in v = 0, 1, and 2 levels is evaluated to be 1:(0.5 ±
Halogens are widely used highly toxic chemicals that pose potential threat to humans due to their abundance. Halogens such bromine (Br2) cause severe pulmonary and systemic injuries however, the mechanisms of their toxicity are largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that Br2 and reactive brominated
Herein we report the synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetraaryl-(X)-substituted-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrins (OETArXPs) and a structural investigation of their solid-state properties via small molecule X-ray diffraction. A series of halogen (fluorine to iodine), nitrogenous (azido, cyano), alkyl
Multiple recognition by cyclodextrin in a bimolecular reaction, namely bromination of styrene, methyl cinnamate, phenylacetylene and allylbenzene, has been studied. Bromohydrin is obtained as a major product along with dibromide in the bromination of styrene and methyl cinnamate. The percentage of
Oral cancer squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) mainly affects individuals aged between 50 and 70 years who consume tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco smoke contains hundreds of known toxic and carcinogenic molecules, and a few studies have sought to verify the relationship of such trace elements as risk or
Conformational problems often involve very small energy differences, even low as 0.5 kcal mol(-1). This accuracy can be achieved by theoretical methods in the gas phase with the appropriate accounting of electron correlation. The solution behavior, on the other hand, comprises a much greater
The carcinogenic potencies of 3,4-dichloro- and 3,4-dibromonitrosopiperdine were compared with that of nitrosopiperidine by feeding to groups of 15 male rats in drinking water. A treatment of 15 weeks with a total of 0.5 mmole of the dichloro compound led to death of all animals before 24 weeks with
