p-DICHLOROBENZENE-NAPHTHALENE EXCIPLEX ON Al2O3

When optically pumped, vapor deposited naphthalene molecules on the

surface of Al2O

3 exhibit a characteristic fluorescence that is spectroscopically

red-shifted and broad due to the amorphous character of the adlayer. Energy

transfer can occur if a molecule that has a higher electronic energy, such as

p-dichlorobenzene is made to percolate through the naphthalene adlayer.

This percolation can be induced by deposition of a p-dichlorobenzene/

naphthalene bilayer and by raising the temperature of the Al2O

3. When the

percolation occurs, the formation of p-dichlorobenzene-naphthalene exciplex

competes with that of the naphthalene excimer and results in the fluorescence

from the exciplex. Another effect that the percolation of the p-

dichlorobenzene has on the naphthalene adlayer is the induction of a disorder-

to-order transition in the naphthalene adlayer that results in a blue-shifted

molecular fluorescence. Finally, the percolation creates a surface film that

appears to be specularly reflective when the adlayer’s stoichiometric ratio

of p-dichlorobenzene to naphthalene is about 3 to 1.A.M. Nishimura†, Handolsam Chung*, Christopher C. Riba*, and K.A. Martin‡

ENERGY TRANSFER IN NEAR-RESONANT SINGLET

ELECTRONIC STATES: NAPHTHALENE AND BIPHENYL ON

Al2O3

Controlled mixing of naphthalene and biphenyl was accomplished by

vacuum deposition of the two molecular adlayers on a cryogenically cooled

dielectric surface of Al2O

3. The surface was then heated and thermally

induced percolation of naphthalene into the biphenyl adlayer was made to

occur. Examination of the spectrally resolved desorption profile allowed

the assignment of the excited state complex that formed between the two

molecules.A.M. Nishimura†, Christopher C. Riba*, Handolsam Chung*, and K.A. Martin‡

ENERGY TRANSFER IN NEAR-RESONANT SINGLET

ELECTRONIC STATES WITH NAPHTHALENE: BIPHENYL,

4-METHYLBIPHENYL, 4,4’-DIMETHYLBIPHENYL AND p-

TERPHENYL ON Al2O3

Excited state complexes of molecules with near resonant electronically

excited states were formed by the percolation of donor and acceptor

molecules on a single crystal of Al2O

3. The energy donor was naphthalene

and the acceptor molecules were biphenyl, 4-methylbiphenyl, 4,4’-

dimethylbiphenyl and p-terphenyl. Surfaces of dielectric compounds such

as Al2O

3 that are chemically inert are ideal for the observation of surface

interactions and dynamics of the adsorbates as a function of temperature.

Since the electronically excited states of molecules are sensitive functions

of intermolecular interactions, the spectral changes that occurred during

the temperature ramp are reported.A.M. Nishimura†, Handolsam Chung*, Christopher C. Riba*, and K.A. Martin‡

EXPLORING THE USE OF ACETIC AND LEVULINIC ACIDS IN

SOLID-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF RENEWABLE FUEL

PRECURSORS

Two successful methods for attachment of acetic and levulinic acids to

Merrifield and Wang resins were developed. In the first method, the acids

were converted to the corresponding sodium salts using NaHCO3. These

salts were reacted with Merrifield resin in the presence of n-Bu4NBr resulting

in the attachment of the acids to the resin through an ester bond. The second

method utilized diisopropylcarbodiimide as a coupling agent and 4-

dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst to achieve attachment of the acid

through an ester bond. The formation of the ester bond was proven by IR

spectroscopy. An in situ NMR ester cleavage procedure with CF3CO

2H was

developed to estimate the yield of the resin-bound esters. The yields

calculated using this method were in good correlation with the yields

determined for isolated hydrolysis products. Attempts to extend the carbon

chains of the formed esters by treatment with LDA and ethyl acetate were

unsuccessful.Irina P. Smoliakova†, Calvin R. Henry*, and Andrew N. Owen*

A TWO-DIMENSIONAL NMR STUDY OF DINITROBIS(2,2-

BIPYRIDINE)COBALT(III) CHLORIDE

The compound [Co(bipy)2(NO

2)

2]Cl was synthesized and analyzed by two-

dimensional NMR techniques. The centers and multiplicities of the 1H

resonances were identified using a homonuclear J-resolved spectrum, and

assignment of the 13C resonances was achieved using a heteronuclear

correlation spectrum. Through this combination, it was possible to assign

all of the 1H and 13C resonances in this compound.Mark McClure† and Kennedi Stewart*

INHIBITION OF TYROSINASE ACTIVITY BY IMIDAZOLIUM

IONIC LIQUIDS

The effect of ionic liquids (ILs) on the enzyme/substrate reaction between

mushroom tyrosinase/L-3,4-dihydroxylphenylalaine (L-dopa) activity was

studied using UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy. The conversion of the L-

dopa substrate by tyrosinase was measured in 50 mM phosphate buffer at

pH = 6.8 and in the presence of buffer solutions that included one of each of

seven ionic liquids that included the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation

(Im21

+) paired with nitrate (NO3

-), trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFMS-),

methylsulfate (MeSO3-), and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf

2N-), the

1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (Im41

+) paired with chloride (Cl-) and

[MeSO3]-, and the 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (Im

61+) paired with

Cl-. The tyrosinase/L-dopa kinetics that were determined in 50 mM

phosphate buffer were used to establish a baseline reaction rate. Change in

absorbance was measured as a function of time to determine the initial

reaction rates that were in turn used to calculate the Michaelis-Menten kinetic

parameters. Comparison to the buffer activity allowed for the calculation of

relative enzymatic activity. Experimental results indicate that the enzyme

activity was inhibited by the ionic liquid in all cases and that the relative

activity ranged from 0.1 to 0.9. Increasing the IL cation chain length

decreased the relative activity through increased hydrophobic interactions.

Within a series for a given cation the effect of anion structure on relative

activity followed a pattern that was related to anion size and degree of

fluorination. For anions associated with Im21

+, the inhibition effectiveness

order observed was [NO3]- < [MeSO

3]- < [TFMS]- < [Tf

2N]-. With Im

41+ we

observed that Cl- < [MeSO3]-.

INVESTIGATION OF STILBENES AS POTENTIAL INHIBITORS

OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS BY

COMPUTATIONAL DOCKING

The interaction between intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and

lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) has been implicated in

the dissemination of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) within the

infected host. In the present study, computational chemistry in the form of

docking studies was used to identify small molecule compounds that bind

ICAM-1 and inhibit interaction with LFA-1. Using AutoDock™ Vina,

resveratrol (a known inhibitor) and other stilbene derivatives were docked

to ICAM-1 to identify their modes of interaction and postulate candidate

drugs that might be more effective inhibitors. In the present study, a

hydrophobic binding pocket within ICAM-1 was identified. Additionally,

several stilbene derivatives with hydroxyl and methoxy substituents were

shown to bind ICAM-1 with stronger affinity than resveratrol, suggesting

alternative therapies to limit HIV/AIDS progression in infected hosts.Massimo D. Bezoari† and Blake Schouest*
