Structure cyclamate

Examine the structures oisucrose, the natural sweetener, and saccharin, sodium cyclamate and aspartame (Nutrasweet), three of the most common artificial sweeteners. What, if any, structural features do these molecules have in common Compare electrostatic potential maps for the different sweeteners. Are there any significant features in common Based on yom findings, do you think it is likely that entirely different artifical sweeteners might be discovered Explain. 

Hi) Sulfamates.—The two most well known sweet compounds in this class are cyclamate (9) and saccharin (10). Considerable structural modifications have been recorded, and their tastes ascertained.

The monovalent Co chemistry of amines is sparse. No structurally characterized example of low-valent Co complexed exclusively to amines is known. At low potentials and in non-aqueous solutions, Co1 amines have been identified electrochemically, but usually in the presence of co-ligands that stabilize the reduced complex. At low potential, the putative monovalent [Co(cyclam)]+ (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) in NaOH solution catalyzes the reduction of both nitrate and nitrite to give mixtures of hydroxylamine and ammonia.100 Mixed N-donor systems bearing 7r-acceptor imine ligands in addition to amines are well known, but these examples are discussed separately in Section 6.1.2.1.3. 

In a comparative study, the semiempirical PM3(tm) method was shown to be less effective than molecular mechanics for modeling the structures of Ni11 complexes with tetraaza macrocycles.398 In contrast, local DFT calculations (VWN5 method), coupled with appropriately large basis sets, accurately describes the geometries of the isomers of [Ni(cyclam]2+. 

Aza macrocycles have also been used as templating agents in the formation of zinc and other metal cation-containing aluminophosphates via hydrothermal synthesis.705 The zeolite-like structures have been formed in the presence of cyclam- and hexaaza-based macrocycles. 

This mechanism has been probed by ab initio calculation.157 Structural modifications of the cyclam framework can drastically affect the catalytic efficiency, as a consequence of the modification of the metal ability to interact with C02 or of the modification of the adsorption ability of the complex.157-163 For instance it has been found that the increase of TV-methyl substitution of the cyclam increases the adsorption of the Ni11 complex on the mercury electrode, but decreases the stability of the Ni1 reduced form.164... 

Several patent applications have been filed claiming CXCR4 antagonists, where the cyclam structure has been replaced with a N-(lH-benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-8-quinolineamine pharmacophore, like compounds 39 and 40 (Figure 12) [120-124], Salt forms suitable for development have been described for 41 (AMD070) in a recent patent application [125]. These filings describe a novel tetrahydroquinolineamine pharmacophore. 

In most cases, metal ion coordination by a dendrimer takes place by units that are present along the dendrimer branches (e.g., amine, imine, or amide groups) or appended at the dendrimer periphery (e.g., terpyridine, cathecolamide ligands). When multiple identical coordinating units are present, dendrimers give rise to metal complexes of variable stoichiometry and unknown structures. Luminescent dendrimers with a well defined metal-coordinating site have been reported so far [16, 17], and the most used coordination site is 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam). 

In acetonitrile-dichloromethane 1 1 v/v solution, their absorption spectra are dominated by naphthalene absorption bands and they exhibit three types of emission bands, assigned to naphthyl localized excited states (/Wx = 337 nm), naphthyl excimers (Amax ca. 390 nm), and naphthyl-amine exciplexes (/lmax = 480 nm) (solid lines in Fig. 3). The tetraamine cyclam core undergoes only two protonation reactions, which not only prevent exciplex formation for electronic reasons but also cause strong nuclear rearrangements in the cyclam structure which affect excimer formation between the peripheral naphthyl units of the dendrimers. 

In this paper author reported the reactivity of newly synthesized Co(III)-nitrosyls complexes with superoxide radical to follow nitric oxide dioxygenation. Two new Co(III)-nitrosyl complexes bearing N-tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligands, [(12-TMC)-Com(NO)]2+ (1) and [(13-TMC)Coin(NO)]2+ (2), were synthesized via [(TMC)Con(CH3CN)]2+ + NO(g) reactions. Spectroscopic and structural characterization showed that these compounds bind the nitrosyl moiety in a bent end-on fashion. Complexes 1 and 2 reacted with K02/2.2.2-ciyptand to produce [(12-TMC)Con(N02)]+ (3) and [(13-TMC)Con(N02)]+ (4), respectively these possess 0,0 -chelated nitrito ligands. 

An example of electrochemically induced trans— cis isomerization is given by the macrocyclic complex rra j-[MnnI(cyclam)Cl2]+, the molecular structure of which is illustrated in Figure 9.9... 

Pseudooctahedral complexes of the N4 donor cyclam of type [Mn(cyclam)X2]Y, where X and Y are a range of monovalent anions, have been reported." The efficacy of a complex of this type (with X = Y = Cl) as an oxidation catalyst has been probed. In another study both manganese(II) and manganese(III) complexes of the tetraaza macrocycle (175) have been characterized and were shown to be of types [MnLCy O.SHCl and [MnL(N3)2]N3. The traw -octahedral structures of both species have been confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. 

The characterization, redox properties, and pulse radiolysis study of manganese(III) complexes of type [MnLCy (where L = cyclam, meso-, and rac-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethylcyclam (tet a and tet b, respectively)) have been reported." An X-ray crystal structure of the meso-5,l,l, 2, A, A-hexamethyl-l,4,8,ll-tetraazacyclotetradecane complex shows that the coordination geometry of the tet a complex is close to octahedral with the macrocycle coordinated equatorially and the chlorides occupying irons axial sites.
