Abstract
We synthesized 2-(1-1,2-dicarbadodecaboranyl(12))-6,6,12,12-tetramethyl-7,8,11,12-tetrahydro-6H,10H-phenaleno[1,9-fg]pyrido[3,2,1-ij]quinoline (4), a julolidine-like pyrenyl-o-carborane, with pyrene substituted at the 2,7-positions on the HOMO/LUMO nodal plane. Using solid state molecular structures, photophysical data, cyclic voltammetry, DFT and LR-TDDFT calculations, we compare o-carborane and B(Mes)2 (Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2) as acceptor groups. Whereas the π-acceptor strength of B(Mes)2 is sufficient to drop the pyrene LUMO+1 below the LUMO, the carborane does not do this. We confirm the π-donor strength of the julolidine-like moiety, however, which raises the pyrene HOMO-1 above the HOMO. In contrast to the analogous pyrene-2-yl-o-carborane, 2-(1-1,2-dicarbadodecaboranyl(12))-pyrene VI, which exhibits dual fluorescence, because the rate of internal conversion between locally-excited (LE) and charge transfer (CT) (from the pyrene to the carborane) states is faster than the radiative decay rate, leading to a thermodynamic equilibrium between the 2 states, 4 shows only single fluorescence, as the CT state involving the carborane as the acceptor moiety in not kinetically accessible, so a more localized CT emission involving the julolidine-like pyrene moiety is observed.

Abstract
We report herein a way to prepare and purify optoelectronic functional 4,9- and 4,10-substituted pyrene isomers. By tuning the size of substituents, the designed 4,9- and 4,10-isomers can be successfully isolated by recycling preparative size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and/or repeated recrystallization. The structure and purity of the isolated compounds 1-5 have been confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of compounds 1-5 have been studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. The lowest transitions of these pyrenes, 1-5, are allowed, with moderate to high fluorescence quantum yields and radiative decay rates around 108 s-1. The differences between the electrochemical and photophysical properties of 4,9-, 4,10-, 1,6-, and 2,7-substituted isomers are compared and concluded.

Abstract
Collagen model peptides featuring the fluorophore pyrene at their N-termini have been synthesized, and their thermal denaturation has been examined using circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopies. Flanking the (Pro-Hyp-Gly)7 core of the peptide monomers at positions 1 and/or 23 in the primary sequence, Lys residues were introduced to ensure water solubility. Triple helices derived from such peptides show a broad excimer emission at ∼480 nm, indicative of interaction between the pyrene units. CD experiments show that the fluorophores enhance helix stability primarily through entropic effects. Unfolding temperatures (Tm) increase by up to 7 °C for systems with N-terminal lysine residues and by up to 21 °C for systems in which the first-position Lys is replaced by Ala. Tm values derived from fluorescence measurements (at 50 μM) typically lie within ∼1 °C of those obtained using CD (at 200 μM). Computational modeling in a water continuum using B3LYP-GD3 and M06-2X functionals predicts that face-to-face association of fluorophores can occur while H-bonding within the [(POG)n]3 assembly is retained. Such parallel stacking is consistent with hydrophobically driven stabilization. Labeling collagen peptides with pyrene is a synthetically simple way to promote triple helicity while providing a means to obtain Tm data on relatively dilute samples.

Para-N-Methylpyridinium Pyrenes: Impact of Positive Charge on ds-DNA/RNA and Protein Recognition, Photo-Induced Bioactivity, and Intracellular Localisation. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14112499. [PMID: 36432689 PMCID: PMC9696974 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14112499] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The 2- and 2,7- substituted para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene cations show high-affinity intercalation into ds-DNAs, whereas their non-methylated analogues interacted with ds-DNA/RNA only in the protonated form (at pH 5), but not at physiological conditions (pH 7). The fluorescence from non-methylated analogues was strongly dependent on the protonation of the pyridines; consequently, they act as fluorescence ratiometric probes for simultaneous detection of both ds-DNA and BSA at pH 5, relying on the ratio between intensities at 420 nm (BSA specific) and 520 nm (DNA specific), whereby exclusively ds-DNA sensing could be switched-off by adjustment to pH 7. Only methylated, permanently charged pyrenes show photoinduced cleavage of circular DNA, attributed to pyrene-mediated irradiation-induced production of singlet oxygen. Consequently, the moderate toxicity of these cations against human cell lines is strongly increased upon irradiation. Detailed studies revealed increased total ROS production in cells treated by the compounds studied, accompanied by cell swelling and augmentation of cellular complexity. The most photo-active 2-para-N-methylpyridinium pyrene showed significant localization at mitochondria, its photo-bioactivity likely due to mitochondrial DNA damage. Other derivatives were mostly non-selectively distributed between various cytoplasmic organelles, thus being less photoactive.

Abstract
Reversible conversion between excited-states plays an important role in many photophysical phenomena. Using 1-(pyren-2'-yl)-o-carborane as a model, we studied the photoinduced reversible charge-transfer (CT) process and the thermodynamic equilibrium between the locally-excited (LE) state and CT state, by combining steady state, time-resolved, and temperature-dependent fluorescence spectroscopy, fs- and ns-transient absorption, and DFT and LR-TDDFT calculations. Our results show that the energy gaps and energy barriers between the LE, CT, and a non-emissive 'mixed' state of 1-(pyren-2'-yl)-o-carborane are very small, and all three excited states are accessible at room temperature. The internal-conversion and reverse internal-conversion between LE and CT states are significantly faster than the radiative decay, and the two states have the same lifetimes and are in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Abstract
Hydrophilic alkyl polyglycosides (APGs) and alkyl glycosides (AGs) with anomeric pure are a class of important substitutes for petroleum-based surfactants. Improving their water solubility should make such hydrophilic glycosurfactants have more excellent potential application value. To solve the inherent problem of poor water solubility of traditional alkyl β-d-glucopyranoside (5), a series of alkyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranosides (4a-4g, n = 7-18) were successfully synthesized by introducing tetra(oxyethylene) fragments to carry out the structural modification. The relationship between the related structure and the physicochemical properties was further investigated, including their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), water-solubility, foaming performance, emulsification, hygroscopicity, surface activity, and thermotropic/lyotropic liquid crystal phase behavior. The results showed that the water solubility gradually decreased as the alkyl chain length increased due to the gradual decrease of their HLB number. Octadecyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranoside (4g, n = 18) was found to be insoluble in water at 25 °C. Taken together, long-chain alkyl glycosides had good foaming properties and excellent emulsifying properties. Among them, dodecyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranoside (4d, n = 12) had the best foaming performance. In the rapeseed oil/water system, cetyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranoside (4f, n = 16) had the best emulsifying ability. With the increase of the alkyl chain length, the critical micelle concentration (Ccmc), γcmc, Γmax, and hygroscopicity of this series of glycosides showed a downward trend. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) showed that the thermal stability increased with the increase of the alkyl chain length, and alkyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranosides (4d-4g, n = 12-18) had the corresponding melting points and clearing points. Alkyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranosides (4b-4g, n = 8-18) formed a smectic phase with a typical fan-shaped and focal conic texture during the cooling process. In the water contact experiments, it was found that glycosides (4b-4g, n = 8-18) at high concentrations transformed into various lyotropic liquid crystal including hexagonal phase, bicontinuous cubic phase, and lamellar phase phases. Therefore, such green nonionic glycosurfactants alkyltetra(oxyethyl) β-d-glucopyranosides should have potential practical application prospects.

Abstract
Aggregates in aqueous solutions can embed hydrophobic molecules, and their interactions depend on the properties of the aggregates. The electric surface potential, molecular mobility, and gradual hydrophobicity are the properties that regulate the interactions, and it is essential to understand these to quantify the properties. Electric surface potential and molecular mobility are quantified using the zeta potential and NMR measurements. In this study, the quantification of gradual hydrophobicity within the aggregate based on the relative permittivity, also called the dielectric constant, has been estimated from fluorescence spectra of pyrene-dicarboxylic acid conjugates. The localization of the pyrene moiety was modified by conjugation with succinic acid, suberic acid, or dodecanedioic acid, and the conjugates were evaluated in the shallow, middle, and deep regions of the aggregates. Span and Tween surfactants have been employed to prepare these aggregates, because they form various kinds of aggregates such as micelles and vesicles. It was realized that the hydrophobicity gradually increased from the interface to the hydrophobic core. Alternatively, a comparison of hydrophobicity within the aggregates showed no remarkable difference. Moreover, the analyses suggested that there are a few water molecules in the deep region. These results support the idea of the localization of embedded molecules in aggregates.

Abstract
Two N-methylpyridinium compounds and analogous N-protonated salts of 2- and 2,7-substituted 4-pyridyl-pyrene compounds were synthesised and their crystal structures, photophysical properties both in solution and in the solid state, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties were studied. Upon methylation or protonation, the emission maxima are significantly bathochromically shifted compared to the neutral compounds, although the absorption maxima remain almost unchanged. As a result, the cationic compounds show very large apparent Stokes shifts of up to 7200 cm-1 . The N-methylpyridinium compounds have a single reduction at ca. -1.5 V vs. Fc/Fc+ in MeCN. While the reduction process was reversible for the 2,7-disubstituted compound, it was irreversible for the mono-substituted one. Experimental findings are complemented by DFT and TD-DFT calculations. Furthermore, the N-methylpyridinium compounds show strong interactions with calf thymus (ct)-DNA, presumably by intercalation, which paves the way for further applications of these multi-functional compounds as potential DNA-bioactive agents.

Abstract
Pt(II) diynes and polyynes incorporating 5,5'- and 6,6'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridines were prepared following conventional Sonogashira and Hagihara dehydrohalogenation reaction protocols. Using Pt(II) dimers and polymers as a rigid-rod backbone, four new heterobimetallic compounds incorporating Re(CO)3Cl as a pendant functionality in the 2,2'-bipyridine core were obtained. The new heterobimetallic Pt-Re compounds were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The solid-state structures of a Re(I)-coordinated diterminal alkynyl ligand and a representative model compound were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Detailed photophysical characterization of the heterobimetallic Pt(II) diynes and polyynes was carried out. We find that the incorporation of the Re(CO)3Cl pendant functionality in the 2,2'-bipyridine-containing main-chain Pt(II) diynes and polyynes has a synergistic effect on the optical properties, red shifting the absorption profile and introducing strong long-wavelength absorptions. The Re(I) moiety also introduces strong emission into the monomeric Pt(II) diyne compounds, whereas this is suppressed in the polyynes. The extent of the synergy depends on the topology of the ligands. Computational modeling was performed to compare the energetic stabilities of the positional isomers and to understand the microscopic nature of the major optical transitions. We find that 5,5'-disubstituted 2,2'-bipyridine systems are better candidates in terms of yield, photophysical properties, and stability than their 6,6'-substituted counterparts. Overall, this work provides an additional synthetic route to control the photophysical properties of metallaynes for a variety of optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
We synthesized new pyrene derivatives with strong bis(para-methoxyphenyl)amine donors at the 2,7-positions and n-azaacene acceptors at the K-region of pyrene. The compounds possess a strong intramolecular charge transfer, leading to unusual properties such as emission in the red to NIR region (700 nm), which has not been reported before for monomeric pyrenes. Detailed photophysical studies reveal very long intrinsic lifetimes of >100 ns for the new compounds, which is typical for 2,7-substituted pyrenes but not for K-region substituted pyrenes. The incorporation of strong donors and acceptors leads to very low reduction and oxidation potentials, and spectroelectrochemical studies show that the compounds are on the borderline between localized Robin-Day class-II and delocalized Robin-Day class-III species.
