Inclusion organic molecules

Podates AcycHc analogues of crown ethers /coronands and cryptands (podands, eg, (11) (30) are also capable of forming inclusion compounds (podates) with cations and uncharged organic molecules, the latter being endowed with a hydrogen bond fiinctionahty. Podates normally are less stable than coronates and cryptates but have favorable kinetics. 

Molecular Interactions. Various polysaccharides readily associate with other substances, including bile acids and cholesterol, proteins, small organic molecules, inorganic salts, and ions. Anionic polysaccharides form salts and chelate complexes with cations some neutral polysaccharides form complexes with inorganic salts and some interactions are stmcture specific. Starch amylose and the linear branches of amylopectin form inclusion complexes with several classes of polar molecules, including fatty acids, glycerides, alcohols, esters, ketones, and iodine/iodide. The absorbed molecule occupies the cavity of the amylose helix, which has the capacity to expand somewhat to accommodate larger molecules. The starch—Hpid complex is important in food systems. Whether similar inclusion complexes can form with any of the dietary fiber components is not known. 

Cyclophanes or 7r-spherands have played a central role in the development of supramolecular chemistry forming an important class of organic host molecules for the inclusion of metal ions or organic molecules via n-n interactions. Particular examples are provided by their applications in synthesis [80], in the development of molecular sensors [81], and the development of cavities adequate for molecular reactions with possible applications in catalysis [82]. The classical organic synthesis of cyclophanes can be quite complex [83], so that the preparation of structurally related molecules via coordination or organometallic chemistry might be an interesting alternative. 

The fortuitous discovery that urea forms inclusion compounds with many unbranched organic molecules was first reported by Bengen in 1940 15). Structural studies by Schlenk 16) and by Smith 11 18> determined the now familiar canal structure of these materials. The chemistry of these compounds has been reviewed on a number of occasions 19-21), as have specific applications in chromatography22, their use in inclusion polymerisation 23,24), and studies of their thermodynamic25 and spectroscopic 26 properties.

A major problem in the sampling of surface films is the inclusion of water in the film. In the ideal sampler, only the film of organic molecules, perhaps a few molecular layers in thickness, floating on the water surface, would be removed the analytical results should then be expressed either in terms of volume taken or of surface area sampled. 

As a demonstration of the power and versatility of the MM3(2000) force field, a comparative study of dipole moments was computed on forty-four small organic molecules. A segment of those results are discussed here with an emphasis on the improvement of the MM3(2000) force field due to the inclusion of the induced dipole moments. 

A further step towards improved selectivity in aldol condensations is found in the work of David A. Evans. The work of Evans [3a] [14] is based in some early observations from Meyers laboratory [15] and the fact that boron enolates may be readily prepared under mild conditions from ketones and dialkylboron triflates [16]. Detailed investigations with Al-propionylpyrrolidine (31) indicate that the enolisation process (LDA, THE) affords the enolate 32 with at least 97% (Z>diastereoselection (Scheme 9.8). Finally, the observation that the inclusion of potential chelating centres enhance aldol diastereoselection led Evans to study the boron enolates 34 of A(-acyl-2-oxazolidones (33), which allow not only great diastereoselectivity (favouring the 5yn-isomer) in aldol condensations, but offer a possible solution to the problem of enantioselective total syntheses (with selectivities greater than 98%) of complex organic molecules (see below, 9.3.2), by using a recyclisable chiral auxiliary. 

Organic molecules spontaneously form corresponding cation-radicals on inclusion within activated zeolites (Yoon and Kochi 1988, Yoon 1993, Pitchumani et al. 1997). Zeolites are crystalline alu-mosilicate minerals that are widely used as sorbents, ion exchangers, catalysts, and catalyst supports. As zeolites act as electron acceptors due to the presence of Lewis- or Broensted-acid sites, confined organic compounds occur to be electron donors. Frequently, the interaction of electron donor with electron acceptor centers spontaneously generates cation-radicals and traps the ejected electrons. 

On the contrary, cucurbiturils preferentially coniine charged, but not neutral, species. Cucurbiturils also possess cylindrical cavities suitable for the inclusion of organic molecules. Cucurbiturils are a family of macrocyclic host molecules consisting of methylene-bridged glucouril units (see Scheme 2.44). 

Cyclodextrins, products of the degradation of starch by an amylase of Bacillus macerans(1), have been studied in terms of chemical modifications, mainly for the purpose of developing efficient enzyme mimics(2). Not only their unique cyclic structures, but also their ability to form Inclusion complexes with suitable organic molecules, led us to Investigate the total synthesis of this class of molecules(3) We describe here an approach to a total synthesis of alpha(l), gamma(2), and "iso-alpha" cyclodextrin (3). 

While calculations at the Hartree-Fock level provide results which can be used for the adequate interpretion of the IR spectra of most organic molecules, the practice today is to include electron correlation in the calculation for molecules containing up to 6 to 10 first row atoms. Inclusion of electron correlation provides some improvement in the agreement between the observed and calculated spectra. The most widely used method for including correlation is the M0ller-Plesset method limited to the second order (MP2). 

In our laboratory we have obtained a number of inclusion compounds using cadmium(II) cyanide or isopolycyanocadmate(II) as the hosts and several organic molecules as the guests. The host structures so far determined by single crystal diffraction experiments have been classified into three groups in general, 3-cristobalite-like [1], clay-like, and zeolite-like [2]. 

There are several types of natural and synthetic molecular hosts, such as cyclodextrin and cyclophane, that are shaped to accommodate neutral and charged organic molecules in the three-dimensional cavity. The inclusion complexation by molecular hosts is driven by various weak forces like van der Waals, hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole, and dipole-dipole interactions, and therefore the molecular recognition process seems much more complicated. In expanding the scope of the present theory, it is intriguing and inevitable to perform the extrather-... 

In small pore zeolites with cage structure, e. g., faujasites, dye molecules encapsulated by in situ synthesis or crystallization inclusion are stable against extraction.1 2 However, these methods fail for MCM-41 due to the channel structure and the wider pore diameter (3 nm) of the host material. Covalent bonding of guests is necessary to obtain diffusion stability. Therefore, anchoring of organic molecules with catalytic functions into MCM-41 by covalent bonding was recently reported by Brunei et al.3... 

Deoxycholic acid (DCA), apocholic acid (ACA), and cholic acid (CA) form channel-type inclusion compounds with a wide variety of organic molecules. Of these DCA has been extensively investigated. 

Another type of inclusion compd is the layer or sandwich compound. This includes certain hydrated clays (such as halloysite and montmoril-lonite) which form layer-or sandwich-inclusion compds with polar organic molecules (such as alcohols, glycols, some hydrocarbons, etc) which replace the water, loosely bound in clays (Ref 10, pp445-7)...
