UV/vis and electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectra provide tools to study the concentration and solvent dependence of this interaction. The aggregation spectra of the dye are dominated by a strongly blue-shifted, sharp and single visible band, which appears at concentrations much below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of Aerosol-OT. Above the cmc, the spectra in pure aqueous solution indicate disso- ciation into monomer and dimer species, and the system becomes completely empty of chirality. Two different CD spectra with a distinct isosbestic point are observed for complexes with different surfactant to dye ratios. Both the addi- tion of ethanol (more than 7.5%) and increasing the temperature retards the metachromatic process between the dye and Aerosol-OT. By using the peakFit program, the two overlapping excitonic absorption bands together with the optically inactive absorption band for one spectrum (the most optimal one) at a specific Aerosol-OT concentration were sepa- rated.展开更多

The interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with two alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim]PF6), ...The interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with two alkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim]PF6), in buffer solutions at pH 7.0 were investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and circular dichroism (CD). CD spectra showed that the two ionic liquids changed the secondary structure of BSA. Data process was based on the supposition that there were several independent types of binding sites on each BSA molecule for the two ligand molecules. The results obtained by using this supposition combined with Langmuir adsorption model showed that there were two types of such binding sites. One was the high affinity binding site, and the other was the low affinity binding site. The binding constants, changes in enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy for the two types of binding were obtained, which showed that the two types of binding were driven by a favorable entropy increase. Furthermore, for either the ionic liquids, the number of the high affinity binding sites is much smaller than that of the low affinity ones. These results were interpreted with the molecular structure of BSA and the different substituent groups on imidazole ring of the two ionic liquid molecules.展开更多

It finds that the complexation of halide anions with the water trimer can efficiently modulate the chirally optical behaviors. The calculated vibrational circular dichroism spectrum illuminates that the vibrational rotational strength of S（＋） （H2O）3 mostly originates from the O-H rocking modes, whereas chirality of S（-）-X-（H2O）3 （X = F, Cl, Br, I） has its important origin in the O-H stretching modes. The calculated optical rotatory power demonstrates that S（＋） （H2O）3 and S（＋）-F-（H2O）3 are positively chiral, whereas S（-）-X-（H2O）3 （X=Cl, Br, I） are negatively chiral. With the polarizable continuum model, calculated bulk solvent effect in the solvents water and carbontetrachloride and argon shows that the positive chirality of S（＋）-（H2O）3 is enhanced and the negative chirality of S（-）-X-（H2O）3 （X=Cl, Br, I） and the positive chirality of S（＋）-F-（H2O）3 are reduced with an augmentation of the solvent dielectric constant.展开更多
