Among several spectroscopic investigations, ESR clearly showed that the nitrogen atom of the amino acid residue of lysozyme was bound to the paramagnetic copper(II) ion of the complex, and UV light irradiation confirmed photoisomerization of the azobenzene moiety of the ligand to cis-form. The binding mode was considered by means of spectroscopic as well as computational methods, whereas complete crystallographic verification was still a preliminary stage.展开更多

Its structures was characterized with IR and UV spectra. Oxygenation mechanism of the complex in N, N-dimethylformamide solution was investigated. The results show that lower temperature is in favor of the oxygenation, and energy, enthalpy and entropy are -3.8 kJ/mol, -4.2 J/mol and -161.44 J/(mol·K), respectively. In the presence of the manganese complex, dehydroepiandrosterone acetate is effectively oxidized by molecular oxygen and the corresponding enone 7-ketodehydroepiandrosterone acetate is obtained. The yield is 62.1% when the oxidation is carried out under the reaction conditions of 60 ℃, 2 MPa of O2 pressure, C5H5N as a solvent and molar ratio of the substrate to the complex of 1:10.展开更多

The analytical data showed that the Schiff base ligand acts as bidentate towards metal ions via the azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen by a stoichiometric reaction of M:L (1:2) to form metal complexes. NMR (1H, 13C and 119Sn) spectral data of the ligands and metal complex agree with proposed structures. The conductivity values between 14 - 27 ohm-1cm2mol-1 in DMF imply the presence of non-electrolyte species. 3D molecular modeling and analysis of bond lengths and bond angles have also been conducted for a representative compound, [Bu2Sn(L2)2], to substantiate the proposed structures. Antibacterial results indicate that the metal complexes are more active than the free ligands.展开更多

The Schiff-base amino alcohols were easily prepared from amino acids in three steps. When the amount of ligand was 1%（molar fraction）, an e.e. value up to 94% was obtained. A series of practical chiral ligands were applied in the enantioselective addition of phenylacetylene to ketones without adding another stronger Lewis acid except zinc.展开更多

Vanillin was selected to be the start material to produce new monomer called vanillin acrylate and abbreviated by (VA). It has been successfully investigated by 1H, 13C NMR, IR and UV and all results were in logic state. The next step was to synthetize three different thermo-responsive functional copolymers by incorporation of three different molar ratios of vanillin acrylate (10, 20, 30 mol%) with N-Isopropylacrylamide via free radical polymerization by AIBN as initiator in solution. All copolymers were deduced by 1NMR and IR and all showed the presence of aldehyde group. The copolymer was used for grafting of tryptophan and β-alanine through the chemical link between amino group and the active aldehyde group by click reactions to form Schiff’s base imine compounds. Moreover, polymers were also elucidated by 1HNMR, IR and UV, Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) was used for the molecular weight determination, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) for glass temperature of solid polymers, XRD for crystallinity. UV-vis Spectroscopy was used for the determination of phase separation or the lower critical solution temperature (Tc) of polymers solution not only in deionized water but in pH5 and pH11. The mount of conversation and linked amino acid was determined by UV-vis Spectroscopy.展开更多
