Selective recognition of HIV RNA by dinuclear metallic ligands

We describe the development of dinuclear metallic ligands to target specific HIV RNA structures. Two series of dipyridinyl-N bridged dinuclear metal complexes were synthesized in moderate to good yields and their binding activities toward TAR and RRE RNA were studied both experimentally and theoretically. The docking calculation elucidated some structure features in dimetallic complexes that can affect TAR RNA-binding properties.

Optically Triggered Stepwise Double-Proton Transfer in an Intramolecular Proton Relay: A Case Study of 1,8-Dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde

1,8-Dihydroxy-2-naphthaldehyde (DHNA), having doubly intramolecular hydrogen bonds, was strategically designed and synthesized in an aim to probe a long-standing fundamental issue regarding synchronous versus asynchronous double-proton transfer in the excited state. In cyclohexane, DHNA shows the lowest lying S0 →S1 (π-π) absorption at ～400 nm. Upon excitation, two large Stokes shifted emission bands maximized at 520 and 650 nm are resolved, which are ascribed to the tautomer emission resulting from the first and second proton-transfer products, denoted by TA and TB, respectively. The first proton transfer (DHNA → TA) is ultrafast (-1 and (3.6 ps)-1, respectively. The fast equilibrium leads to identical population lifetimes of ～54 ps for both TA and TB tautomers. Similar excited-state double-proton transfer takes place for DHNA in a single crystal, resulting in TA (560 nm) and TB (650 nm) dual-tautomer emission. A comprehensive 2D plot of reaction potential energy surface further proves that the sequential two-step proton motion is along the minimum energetic pathway firmly supporting the experimental results. Using DHNA as a paradigm, we thus demonstrate unambiguously a stepwise, proton-relay type of intramolecular double-proton transfer reaction in the excited state, which should gain fundamental understanding of the multiple proton transfer reactions.

Highly selective visual detection of Cu(II) utilizing intramolecular hydrogen bond-stabilized merocyanine in aqueous buffer solution

A Cu2+-specific colorimetric sensor 1, which is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bonding, was designed and developed. The color of 1 changes from purple to blue on addition of 1.0 μM Cu2+ in aqueous buffer solution, which can be detected by the naked eye. The analytical detection limit for Cu2+ by the naked eye is as low as 1.0 μM. The stoichiometry for 1 and Cu2+ in complex is 2:1 in aqueous solution.
