The structure of triethylammonium chloride has been reported four times to date (Hendricks, 1928; Genet, 1965; James et al., 1985; Ilyukhin, 2000). All four structure determinations were made in the space group P63mc (No. 186) and showed `propeller'-like disorder of the cation (Fig. 1) caused by a crystallographic mirror plane. Two closely related models were used in the later re®nements. In th...

In this paper, we have examined the effect of ammonium and imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) on the stability and activity of proteolytic enzyme α-chymotrypsin (CT) in the presence of cold atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). The present work aims to illustrate the state of art implementing the combined action of ILs and APPJ on the enzyme stability and activity. Our circular dichroism (...

Quaternary ammonium compounds are known to highly concentrate in articular cartilages after i.v. administration. This property was used to synthesize new potential radiodiagnostic agents for joint imaging. Pharmacokinetic study was performed in rats for three new compounds: N-pyridinium-propyl-cyclam (NPPC), N-triethylammonium-propyl-cyclam (NTPC), and N-[triethylammonium]-3-propyl-[15]ane-N5 (...

We present a computational analysis of the short-range structure three protic ionic liquids based on strong organic acids: trifluoracetate, methanesulfonate, and triflate triethylammonium. Accurate ab initio computations carried out gas-phase dimers show that protonation triethylamine is spontaneous. have identified anion-cation binding motif due to presence hydrogen bond electrostatic interact...

Among the handful of monophosphine ligands that effect asymmetric hydrovinylation of vinylarenes, 2-diphenylphosphino-2'-methoxy-1,1'-binaphthyl (MOP) is among the most accessible. Addition of a methyl group at the 3'-position of this ligand significantly improves the enantioselectivity of hydrovinylation of prototypical alkenes. Introduction of a chiral phospholane at the C2 position of this s...

The title complex, [Ag(2)(NO(2))(2)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(2)]·2CH(3)CN, is a centrosymmetric dimer in which two bis(diphenylphosphino)methane ligands bridge two Ag(+) ions, forming an eight-membered ring with a short Ag⋯Ag separation of 3.1809 (5) Å. The distorted P(2)O(2) coordination of the cation is completed by two O-donors from a symmetric bidentate chelate NO(2) (-) anion [Ag-O = 2.550 (3) and ...

We have presented a near-infrared fluorescent probe Lyso-JN for the detection of nitroxyl (HNO) in cells and in vivo. Lyso-JN is comprised of three moieties: an Aza-BODIPY fluorophore, a HNO-response modulator, diphenylphosphino-benzoyl, and a lysosomal locator, alkylmorpholine. The detection mechanism is based on aza-ylide intramolecular ester aminolysis reaction with HNO. The probe holds the ...

A conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated thioesters catalyzed by copper hydride using PMHS as stoichiometric reductant has been developed. 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (BDP) was the most effective ligand for this reduction. Saturated thioesters could be produced in excellent yields when the substituent on the thiol is not sterically-demanding. This protocol was applied to induce the reduct...
