The effectiveness and limitations of density functional theory (DFT) calculations in the structural determination of complexed and conformationally flexible natural products were demonstrated using the cyclohelminthols CP-1 (1) CP-2 (2), CP-3 (3), and CP-4 (4) newly isolated from Helminthosporium velutinum yone96. Prior to DFT calculations, the structures were tentatively assigned using conventional spectroscopic analyses. The structures were verified with reference to DFT-derived 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts, 3JHH and nJCH values, and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. The 13C chemical shift calculations were very effective for verifying the ring-structure moieties but less effective for verifying the geometry of the side chain in which the juncture asymmetric carbon (C-16) was apart from the ring-structure moiety. However, 1H chemical shift calculations compensated for the imperfection of the latter. ECD spectral calculations were used to determine the absolute configurations. Calculations for virtual simple model molecules enabled us to evaluate the reliability of the ECD spectral calculation and derive the chiral torsion responsible for the characteristic Cotton effects.(-)-Lomaiviticin A (1) is a genotoxic C2-symmetric metabolite that arises from the formal dimerization of two bis(glycosylated) diazotetrahydrobenzo[b]fluorenes. Here we present a synthesis of the monomer 17 and its coupling to form (2S,2'S)-lomaiviticin A (4), an unnatural diastereomer of 1. (2S,2'S)-Lomaiviticin A (4) is significantly less genotoxic, a result we attribute to changes in the orientation of the diazofluorene and carbohydrate residues, relative to 1. These data bring the importance of the configuration of the conjoining bond to light and place the total synthesis of 1 itself within reach.The polymer layer-by-layer assembly is accounted among the most attractive approaches for the design of advanced drug delivery platforms and biomimetic materials in 2D and 3D. The multilayer capsules can be made of synthetic or biologically relevant (e.g., natural) polymers. The biopolymers are advantageous for bioapplications; however, the design of such "biocapsules" is more challengeable due to intrinsic complexity and lability of biopolymers. Until now, there are no systematic studies that report the formation mechanism for multilayer biocapsules templated upon CaCO3 crystals. This work evaluates the structure-property relationship for 16 types of capsules made of different biopolymers and proposes the capsule formation mechanism. The capsules have been fabricated upon mesoporous cores of vaterite CaCO3, which served as a sacrificial template. Stable capsules of polycations poly-l-lysine or protamine and four different polyanions were successfully formed. However, capsules made using the polycation collagen and dextran amine underwent dissolution. Formation of the capsules has been correlated with the stability of the respective polyelectrolyte complexes at increased ionic strength. All formed capsules shrink upon core dissolution and the degree of shrinkage increased in the series of polyanions heparin sulfate less then dextran sulfate less then chondroitin sulfate less then hyaluronic acid. The same trend is observed for capsule adhesiveness to the glass surface, which correlates with the decrease in polymer charge density. The biopolymer length and charge density govern the capsule stability and internal structure; all formed biocapsules are of a matrix-type, other words are microgels. These findings can be translated to other biopolymers to predict biocapsule properties.One of the most popular approaches to improve the performance of organic photonic devices has been to control the electrically heterogeneous charge-transferring interfaces via chemical modifications. Despite intense research efforts, however, the rapid pace of material evolution through the chemical versatility of the organic compound allows only limited room for the fine-tuning of the interfaces exclusive to specific materials. This limitation leads to an ill-controlled charge recombination behavior that relies solely on the inherent characteristics of each material; thus, the common device architecture cannot harness its full potential. In this work, we demonstrate the use of a graphene-organic hybrid barristor-type phototriode architecture as an alternative platform to realize a linearly and highly photosensitive photodetector operating in a broad dynamic range with rapid temporal responses. With the capability of interfacial energetic modulation, our model system exhibits the dominance of swiftly saturable and slowly responding "cold" traps (TC less then 3kT) in charge recombination behaviors, leading to a broad linear dynamic range of 110 dB as well as unconventional illumination-driven increments of both D* and R up to 1013 Jones and 360 mA/W, respectively, that surpass the best-reported organic photodiodes. Our findings demonstrate that the organic-graphene hybrid photonic barristor architecture can open new avenues to design high-performance photodetectors for various photonic applications in the future.The formation of isoprene nitrates (IsN) can lead to significant secondary organic aerosol (SOA) production and they can act as reservoirs of atmospheric nitrogen oxides. EPZ015666 In this work, we estimate the rate of production of IsN from the reactions of isoprene with OH and NO3 radicals during the summertime in Beijing. While OH dominates the loss of isoprene during the day, NO3 plays an increasingly important role in the production of IsN from the early afternoon onwards. Unusually low NO concentrations during the afternoon resulted in NO3 mixing ratios of ca. 2 pptv at approximately 1500, which we estimate to account for around a third of the total IsN production in the gas phase. Heterogeneous uptake of IsN produces nitrooxyorganosulfates (NOS). Two mono-nitrated NOS were correlated with particulate sulfate concentrations and appear to be formed from sequential NO3 and OH oxidation. Di- and tri-nitrated isoprene-related NOS, formed from multiple NO3 oxidation steps, peaked during the night. This work highlights that NO3 chemistry can play a key role in driving biogenic-anthropogenic interactive chemistry in Beijing with respect to the formation of IsN during both the day and night.
