The optimized geometry of the dimer closely resembles that of the crystal. The calculated results show that the total energy of the dimer is much lower than the sum energies of the two monomers, and the average strength of the double hydrogen bonds is about 38.37 kJ/mol. In order to probe the origin of the interactions in the dimer, natural bond orbital analyses were performed. The thermodynamic properties of the title compound at different temperatures have also been calculated on the basis of vibrational analyses and ?GT, the change of Gibbs free energy for the aggregation from monomer to the dimmer, is 26.47 kJ/mol at 298.15 K and 0.1 MPa, implying the spontaneous process of forming the dimer. The correlation graphics of S0m, H0m and temperatures is depicted.展开更多

Studies have shown Pre-eclampsia as a risk indicator for Postpartum hemorrhage and D-dimer tends to rise in women with pre-eclampsia. Few studies that have shown the association between D-dimer and PPH have been controversial and differ according to ethnicity and lifestyle. Hence there is no suitable reference interval for D-dimer in predicting Postpartum hemorrhage among women with pre-eclampsia. Broad Objective: This study aimed to assess the association, sensitivity, and specificity of D-dimer as a laboratory predictor of postpartum hemorrhage among women with pre-eclampsia at KCMC hospital. Methodology: This was a hospital-based analytical cross-sectional study conducted at KCMC Hospital in Northern Tanzania from September 2022 to March 2023. A total of 195 women with pre-eclampsia were included in this study. Plasma D-dimer levels were taken from women with pre-eclampsia pre-delivery. Haematocrit was compared before and after delivery, and a fall of 10% was considered as Postpartum hemorrhage together with clinical assessment of the patient. Participants were divided among those who had severe features and those who did not have severe features and were further categorized into those who had PPH and those who did not have PPH. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between D-dimer and PPH adjusting for other factors. The Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value. Results: Higher median D-dimer levels were seen among women who had PPH compared to those who had no PPH. D-dimer was seen to be associated with PPH, thus for every unit increase of µg/ml of D-dimer among women who had pre-eclampsia without severe features there was a 14% significant increase in the odds of having postpartum hemorrhage and a 45% significant increase of having postpartum hemorrhage among those who had pre-eclampsia with severe features. Furthermore, the cut-off point of a D-dimer level of 0.66 µg/ml significantly predicts postpartum hemorrhage with a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 55%. For those who had no severe features the cut-off point was 0.53 µg/ml with a sensitivity of 95% and specificity of 53%, and for those who had severe features the cut-off point was 3.58 µg/ml with a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 96%. Conclusion: D-dimer can be used to predict postpartum hemorrhage among pre-eclampsia, especially among those who have severe features. This shows that D-dimer has specificity in predicting PPH in women with pre-eclampsia and can be applied in clinical services to save women from maternal morbidity and mortality. Blood products such as fresh frozen plasma, platelets, and whole blood together with tranexamic acid should be readily available in women with pre-eclampsia especially those with severe features with a D-dimer level of 3.58 µg/ml and above during delivery as they are at high risk of developing PPH.展开更多

The CLE was prepared by the thinfilm dispersed homogenization method. The interaction between clarithromycin(CLA) and cholesteryl hemisuccinate(CHEMS) was confirmed by DSC, FT-IR and^1H NMR analysis. The interfacial drug loading, thermal sterilization, freeze–thaw stability, and in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity were investigated systematically. DSC, FT-IR and^1H NMR spectra showed that CHEMS(CLA: CHEMS, M ratio 1:2) could interact with CLA through H-bonding and a hydrogen-bonded ion pair. The CHEMS was found necessary to maintain the stability of CLE.Ultracentrifugation showed that almost 88% CLA could be loaded into the interfacial layer.The optimized CLE formulation could withstand autoclaving at 121 °C for 10 min and remain stable after three freeze–thaw cycles. The in vitro susceptibility test revealed that the CLA–CHEMS ion-pair and CLE have similar activity to the parent drug against many different bacterial strains. The in vivo antibacterial activity showed that the ED50 of intravenous CLE was markedly lower than that of CLA solution administrated orally. CLE exhibited pronounced antibacterial activity and might be a candidate for a new nanocarrier for CLA with potential advantages over the current commercial formulation.展开更多

The component 1?2(CH3)2CO 2 assembles such that the resorcin[4]arene adopts a C2v conformation and the acetone serves as hydrogen bond acceptors, forming a 1D hydrogen-bonded polymer. 2 (C50H68O10) crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.0440(7), b = 13.7498(9), c = 17.6374(12) ?, α = 77.726(2), β = 86.733(2), γ = 88.634(2)o, V = 2376.1(3) ?3, Dc = 1.159 g/cm3, and Z = 2. The assembly process of component 1?2CH3CN?H2O 3 yields a 2D hydrogen-bonded polymer formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between resorcin[4]arene and water molecules. In the case of component 3, the acetonitrile molecule serves as guest inside the bowl of resorcin[4]arene host. 3 (C48H64N2O9) crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2/n with a = 13.7570(18), b = 9.0961(12), c = 19.453(3) ?, β = 103.017(3)o, V = 2371.7(5) ?3, Dc = 1.138 g/cm3, and Z = 2.展开更多

Complex 2 (C52H66.5N1.5O14) crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/m with a = 10.845(9), b = 20.805(17), c = 12.881(11) ?, β = 103.884(19)o, V = 2821(4) ?3, Dc = 1.102 g/cm3 and Z = 2. The molecular structure shows that the two adjacent double-stranded arrays as well as linear and zigzag chains generated from Ac2py and water bridging to two resorcin[4] arene molecules, respectively, facilitate self-inclusion of one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer.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

The component 1?2(CH3)2CO 2 assembles such that the resorcin[4]arene adopts a C2v conformation and the acetone serves as hydrogen bond acceptors, forming a 1D hydrogen-bonded polymer. 2 (C50H68O10) crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.0440(7), b = 13.7498(9), c = 17.6374(12) ?, α = 77.726(2), β = 86.733(2), γ = 88.634(2)o, V = 2376.1(3) ?3, Dc = 1.159 g/cm3, and Z = 2. The assembly process of component 1?2CH3CN?H2O 3 yields a 2D hydrogen-bonded polymer formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds between resorcin[4]arene and water molecules. In the case of component 3, the acetonitrile molecule serves as guest inside the bowl of resorcin[4]arene host. 3 (C48H64N2O9) crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2/n with a = 13.7570(18), b = 9.0961(12), c = 19.453(3) ?, β = 103.017(3)o, V = 2371.7(5) ?3, Dc = 1.138 g/cm3, and Z = 2.
文摘The co-crystallization of tetra-iso-butyl-resorcin[4]arene 1 and 2,6-diacetyl- pyridine (Ac2py) from MeCN/CH2Cl2 yielded a multi-component complex 1?Ac2py?2H2O?0.5Me- CN 2, in which the upper rim of 1 is extended supramolecularly by way of hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 (C52H66.5N1.5O14) crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/m with a = 10.845(9), b = 20.805(17), c = 12.881(11) ?, β = 103.884(19)o, V = 2821(4) ?3, Dc = 1.102 g/cm3 and Z = 2. The molecular structure shows that the two adjacent double-stranded arrays as well as linear and zigzag chains generated from Ac2py and water bridging to two resorcin[4] arene molecules, respectively, facilitate self-inclusion of one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer.

文摘This paper calculates the molecular structures, infrared, Raman, circular dichroism spectra and optical rotatory powers of some hydrogen-bonded supramolecular systems as a cyclic water trimer, (H2O)3 and its pyramidal halide complexes, X- (H2O)3 (X= F, Cl, Br, I) with the gradient-corrected density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6- 311++G(2d,2p) and B3LYP/Aug-cc-pVTZ levels. 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.

文摘To investigate the collision processes of proton with the water dimer(H_(2)O)_(2)at 50 e V,the time-dependent density functional theory coupled with molecular dynamics nonadiabatically is applied.Six specific collision orientations with various impact parameters are considered.The reaction channels,the mass distribution and the fragmentation mass spectrum are explored.Among all launched samples,the probability of the channel of non-charge transfer scattering and charge transfer scattering is about 80%,hinting that the probability of fragmentation is about 20%.The reaction channel of proton exchange process 2 is taken as an example to exhibit the detailed microscopic dynamics of the collision process by inspecting the positions,the respective distance,the number of loss of electrons and the evolution of the electron density.The study of the mass distribution and the fragmentation mass spectrum shows that among all possible fragments,the fragment with mass 36 has the highest relative abundance of 65%.The relative abundances of fragments with masses 1,35,and 34are 20%,13%,and 1.5%,respectively.For the total electron capture cross section,the present calculations agree with the available measurements and calculations over the energy range from 50 e V to 12 ke V.
