Tailoring cocrystal and salt formation and controlling the crystal habit of diflunisal
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-26)Crystal habit modification of the drug diflunisal that normally grows into extremely thin, long needles has been achieved by breaking the stacking effect with the help of coformers. Eight new cocrystals are reported, along ... -
Tandem reactions via Barton Esters with intermolecular addition and vinyl radical substitution onto indole
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-16)A one-pot initiator-free Barton ester decomposition with tandem radical addition onto alkyl propiolates or phenylacetylene with aromatic substitution of the resultant vinyl radical allows convenient access to new 9-substituted ... -
Teaming up synthetic chemistry and histochemistry for activity screening in galectin-directed inhibitor design
(Springer, 2016-06-24)A hallmark of endogenous lectins is their ability to select a few distinct glycoconjugates as counterreceptors for functional pairing from the natural abundance of cellular glycoproteins and glycolipids. As a consequence, ... -
Testing the validity of a mechanism describing the oxidation of binary n-heptane/toluene mixtures at engine operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-02)The aim of this work is to evaluate the influence of the n-heptane/toluene ratio on the reactivity of binary toluene reference fuels (TRFs), through a combined experimental and numerical work. Novel experimental ignition ... -
Theoretical and kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with HO2 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2013-10-31)This work details an ab initio and chemical kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2) on the following esters: methyl ethanoate, methyl propanoate, methyl butanoate, methyl ... -
Theoretical chemical kinetic study of the h-atom abstraction reactions from aldehydes and acids by Ḣ Atoms and ȮH, HȮ2, and ĊH3 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-11-11)We have performed a systematic, theoretical chemical kinetic investigation of H atom abstraction by H atoms and OH, HO2, and CH3 radicals from aldehydes (methanal, ethanal, propanal, and isobutanal) and acids (methanoic ... -
Theoretical kinetics analysis for Ḣ atom addition to 1,3-Butadiene and related reactions on the Ċ4H7 potential energy surface
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-08)The oxidation chemistry of the simplest conjugated hydrocarbon, 1,3-butadiene, can provide a first step in understanding the role of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons in combustion and, in particular, an understanding of their ... -
A theoretical study of cyclic ether formation reactions
(Elsevier, 2016-06-09)Cyclisation reactions of hydroperoxyl-alkyl radicals forming cyclic ethers and hydroxyl radicals play an important role in low temperature oxidation chemistry. These reactions contribute to the competition be-tween radical ... -
Theoretical study of the rate constants for the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with •OH radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-30)A systematic investigation of the rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by hydroxyl radicals on esters has been performed. The geometry optimizations and frequency calculations were obtained using the ... -
A thermodynamic model of auto-regulated protein assembly by a supramolecular scaffold
(Wiley, 2019-03-12)Ligand-mediated regulation of protein assembly occurs frequently in different cellular contexts. Auto-regulated assembly, where a ligand acts as its own competitive inhibitor, provides a mechanism for exquisite control of ... -
Thermodynamics of linear and star polymers at fluid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Performing molecular dynamics simulations on model systems we study the structural changes and thermodynamic stability of polymers of varying topology (linear and star-shaped) at interface between two liquids. We find that ... -
A theta-shaped amphiphilic cobaltabisdicarbollide anion: transition from monolayer vesicles to micelles
(Wiley, 2011-05-23)Self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and in surfactant science.1 Globular micelles or vesicles in water are usually obtained with surfactants2 or amphiphilic block copolymers3 composed of a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic ... -
The third dimension of reading the sugar code by lectins: design of glycoclusters with cyclic scaffolds as tools with the aim to define correlations between spatial presentation and activity.
(MDPI, 2013-04-04)Coding of biological information is not confined to nucleic acids and proteins. Endowed with the highest level of structural versatility among biomolecules, the glycan chains of cellular glycoconjugates are well-suited to ... -
