We investigate how the absorption and fluorescence of halogenated imidazolium compounds in acetonitrile solution is influenced by the presence of counterions and the ability to act as halogen-bond donors. Experimental measurements and quantum chemical calculations with correlated wavefunction methods are applied to study three monodentate halogen-bond complexes of iodo-imidazolium, iodo-benzimidazolium and bromo-benzimidazolium cations with triflate counterions, and a bidentate complex of bis(iodo-benzimidazolium) dications with chloride as counterion. The three monodentate complexes with triflate counterions relax after photoexcitation to minima on the S potential energy surface where the C-I bond and the IO halogen bond are partially broken.

Protic salts have been recently recognized to be an excellent carbon source to obtain highly ordered N-doped carbon without the need of tedious and time-consuming preparation steps that are usually involved in traditional polymer-based precursors. Herein, we report a direct co-pyrolysis of an easily synthesized protic salt (benzimidazolium triflate) with calcium and sodium citrate at 850 °C to obtain N-doped mesoporous carbons from a single calcination procedure. It was found that sodium citrate plays a role in the final carbon porosity and acts as an in situ activator.

Preparation of oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct by using a dinucleotide building block.

Curr Protoc Nucleic Acid Chem

Division of Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Osaka, Japan.

This unit describes procedures for the synthesis of a dinucleotide-type building block of the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct [(6-4) photoproduct], which is one of the major DNA lesions induced by ultraviolet (UV) light, and its incorporation into oligodeoxyribonucleotides. Although this type of lesion is frequently found at thymine-cytosine sites, the building block of the (6-4) photoproduct formed at thymine-thymine sites can be synthesized much more easily. The problem in the oligonucleotide synthesis is that the (6-4) photoproduct is labile under alkaline conditions.

Functionalisation of the {Pt(2)(mu-S)(2)} core of [Pt(2)(mu-S)(2)(PPh(3))(4)] by imidazolium, benzimidazolium and thiazolium salts results in a series of cationic complexes with mixed-bridging ligands of azolium thiolate and sulfide. The complex [Pt(2)(mu-S)(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](2) reacts readily with Ag(OTf) (OTf = triflate) to give [Pt(2)(mu-SAg(2)CF(3)SO(4)H(2))(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](3). X-ray crystallographic analysis was carried out on [Pt(2)(mu-S)(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](2), [Pt(2)(mu-S)(mu-S(CH(2))(3)C(7)H(5)NS)(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](2), [Pt(2)(mu-S)(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(dppy)(4)][PF(6)](2), [Pt(2)(mu-S)(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(dppf)(4)][PF(6)](2), [Pt(2)(mu-SAg(2)CF(3)SO(4)H(2))(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](3) and [Pt(2)(mu-SCH(3))(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)C(3)H(3)N(2)CH(3))(PPh(3))(4)][PF(6)](3).

Synthesis of oligonucleotides containing the Dewar valence isomer of the (6-4) photoproduct and their application to (6-4) photolyase studies.

The (6-4) photoproduct, which is a major UV light-induced lesion formed between adjacent pyrimidine bases, is isomerized to its Dewar valence isomer by exposure to longer wavelengths. We have synthesized a phosphoramidite building block of the Dewar photoproduct formed at the thymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine site, and incorporated it into oligonucleotides on a DNA synthesizer, aiming to use them for biological studies. An alternative activator, benzimidazolium triflate, gave better results, while by-products were detected at longer retention time in the ordinary synthesis.
