AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses how fluorination affects the lipophilicity (fat solubility) of different substituents—specifically isopropyl, cyclopropyl, and 3-oxetanyl—at a single carbon atom.
  • It compares the results with similar linear chain compounds and examines changes in lipophilicity when extending acyclic precursors to create cyclopropyl compounds.
  • Findings show that fluorinating the isopropyl group significantly influences lipophilicity more than fluorinating the cyclopropyl group.

Article Abstract

A systematic comparison of lipophilicity modulations upon fluorination of isopropyl, cyclopropyl and 3-oxetanyl substituents, at a single carbon atom, is provided using directly comparable, and easily accessible model compounds. In addition, comparison with relevant linear chain derivatives is provided, as well as lipophilicity changes occurring upon chain extension of acyclic precursors to give cyclopropyl containing compounds. For the compounds investigated, fluorination of the isopropyl substituent led to larger lipophilicity modulation compared to fluorination of the cyclopropyl substituent.

Reaction-Diffusion and Crystallization Kinetics Modulation of Two-Step Deposited Tin-Based Perovskite Film via Reducing Atmosphere.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

December 2024

College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering/ Film Energy Chemistry for Jiangxi Provincial Key Laboratory (FEC), Nanchang University, 999 Xuefu Avenue, Nanchang, 330031, China.

The two-step deposition method effectively mitigates the efficiency decline observed in tin-based perovskite solar cells (TPVSCs) with increasing cell area, stemming from film in-homogeneity. However, the high solubility of SnI in the conventionally used solvent isopropyl alcohol, coupled with the absence of effective modulation of reaction-diffusion process, results in inadequate film coverage and conversion. In this study, we introduce formic acid as the second-step solvent and introduce dithiothreitol (DTT) to regulate reaction-diffusion/crystallization kinetics meticulously.

Highly Enantioselective Transportation Across Liquid Membranes Mediated by Porous Covalent Organic Frameworks.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

November 2024

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Frontiers Science Center for Transformative Molecules and State Key Laboratory of Metal Matrix Composites, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200240, China.

Article Synopsis
  • *The study introduces chiral covalent organic frameworks (CCOFs) as mobile carriers that enhance enantioselective transport and separation of amino acid enantiomers.
  • *The CCOF with both fluorine and isopropyl groups showed the best performance, and exfoliating these frameworks into nanosheets further improved their effectiveness in separating chiral drug enantiomers.

Halogenated monopyridinium oximes are less effective in reactivation of phosphylated cholinesterases than bisquaternary oximes.

Bioorg Chem

December 2024

University of Hradec Kralove, Faculty of Science, Department of Chemistry, Rokitanskeho 62, 500 03 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic; University Hospital in Hradec Kralove, Biomedical Research Centre, Sokolska 581, 500 05 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. Electronic address:

Mono-quaternary pyridinium oximes derived from K-oximes K027, K048 and K203 were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the reactivation of organophosphate-inhibited cholinesterases. The incorporation of the halogen atoms to the structure decreased the pK value of the oxime group resulting in an increased formation of oximate necessary for reactivation. The stability and pK values were found to be similar to analogous bis-quaternary compounds.

Background Graphene is a versatile material with promising applications in various fields such as electronics, energy, biomedicine, and the environment due to its exceptional mechanical strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, transparency, and chemical stability. Graphene has been extensively used in biological and medical settings. MXene is a two-dimensional (2D) material that exhibits a strong affinity for water and electrical conductivity because of its surface terminations (oxygen {-O}, fluorine {-F}, and hydroxyl {-OH}) and transition metal carbide or nitride.
