Ternary molecular complex

The alternating copolymerisation of methyl methacrylate and styrene in the presence of borontrichloride proceeds in the homopolymerisation of a ternary molecular complex composed of all three 68... 

The acceptor-Lewis acid complex reaets with conjugated donor molecules (e.g., styrene) under quite mild conditions to produce highly alternating structures. However, much stronger conditions are required for nonconjugated donor molecules (ethylene, propylene, vinyl acetate, etc.), where it is necessary to use alkyl aluminum sesquichloride as the Lewis acid at a temperature of 195 K. It has been postulated that a ternary molecular complex is formed... 

Arguments against the ternary complex mechanism are (1) the physical evidence that proves the existence of the ternary molecular complexes is weak (2) the ternary molecular complexes can have no bearing on the copolymerizations because the equilibrium concentration of the complexed monomers is low, compared to the uncomplexed ones. ... 

The structure of the ternary inclusion complex composed of 3-cyclodextrin, phenol, and, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, formed in the reaction mixture, is determined by NMR spectroscopy. The selective catalysis by cyclodextrin was attributed to the regulation of molecular conformation of substrates with respect to dichlorocarbene, to trichloromethy1 cation, or to allyl cation in the ternary molecular complex. 

The selective catalysis by the immobilized 3-CyD catalysts proceed in a similar manner to that by free 3 CyD catalyst (13). The 3-CyD residue forms a ternary molecular complex with phenol and trichloro-methyl cation, produced in situ from carbon tetrachloride with the catalysis by copper powder. As a result, the mutual conformation between phenol and trichloromethyl cation is regulated through the non-covalent interactions. The para-carbon atom of phenol is predominantly attacked by the cation, since the carbon atom is located in close proximity to the cation. 4-Hydroxybenzoic acids are selectively formed by the hydrolyses of the C-Cl bonds in the resulting intermediates. 

In this reaction in cyclodextrin, the transition state should involve the ternary molecular complex composed of microcrystalline cyclodextrin complex and a fixed gaseous reagent in it. Hadjoudis, et also sug-...

Increased para selectivity has been reported by using potassium, cesium and ammonium hydroxide as bases instead of sodium hydroxide.The addition of 6-cyclodextrin (BCD) afforded 100% para selectivity due to formation of a preferentially para ternary molecular complex between the phenolate ion, BCD and the dichlorocarbene intermediate.Although the presence of BCD does not enhance the total aldehyde production, it reduces the proportion of other isomeric aldehydes formed in favour of the para-product. Recently Zhang et. reported the synthesis of p-... 

FIGURE 1 Molecular structures of I, II, and a-cyclodextrin (a-CD) alkoxide. Schematic representation of the inclusion complexes and reaction intermediates involved in the hydrolysis of I affording acetic acid and m-ferf-butyl phenol. The inset shows the CAChe-minimized structure of the ternary catalytic complex I C a-CD alkoxide-ll proposed by Bender et al. (7S). The putative hydrogen bond between the alkoxide of a-CD and II is indicated by a solid line. a-CD alkoxide is shown in stick representation, and only polar hydrogen atoms are specified. I is shown in CPK representation and II in ball and stick. (See Color Insert in the back of this book.)... 

Schall and Gokel have reported the construction of molecular boxes derived from nucleic acid bases and azacrown ethers [23]. Detailed NMR studies provided evidence for the association of A-crown-A with T-crown-T in chloroform. Formation of a ternary receptor complex with a, m-diammonium compounds (Figure 12) was also suggested. 

In etiolated leaves the majority of PChlide is connected to the PChlide reductase enzyme which, according to the ternary complex model, bounds NADPH molecule(s), too (4). This complex is an integral unit of prolamellar bodies (PLB) and in vivo can be characterized with a 650 nm absorption and 657 nm low-temperature fluorescence emission maximum (5). However, PChlide or PChl molecules must be connected to other components of the etioplast inner membranes, these molecules can regenerate the phototransphormed PChlide or cannot be phototransformed at all (2). These molecular complexes have absorption maxima at 628-630 and 635-637 nm (6). 

Formylations of phenol, resorcinol and indole, dichloromethylations of 4-methylphenol and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthol, carboxylation of phenol, and allylation of 2,4,6-trimethylphenol proceed site-selec-tively in high yields by using 3-cyclodextrin as catalyst. The formation of ternary inclusion complex composed of cyclodextrin, substrate, and dichlorocarbene, trichloromethyl cation or allyl cation in the reaction mixture is an important factor of the site-selective reactions. The cyclodextrin is also effective by limiting the molecular size of the reaction intermediate. 

Five different steps have been distinguished in the hydroxylation reaction (1) combination of the substrate (RH) with the oxidized form of cytochrome P450, (2) reduction of the ferric state of the cytochrome s iron atom to the ferrous state by the transfer of one electron from NADPH through the catalytic action of the reductase (the reaction requires phosphatidylcholine), (3) formation of a ternary complex through the binding of oxygen, (4) formation of a superoxide anion bound to the oxidized cytochrome P450 after an intramolecular electron transfer, and (5) finally in the molecular complex (oxidized cytochrome, superoxide, and substrate), the superoxide attacks the substrate which becomes hydroxylated, and at the same time the reductase provides another electron and a molecule of water is formed as one of the products of the reaction. 

With the experimental observation of constitutive activity for GPCRs by Costa and Herz [2], a modification was needed. Subsequently, Samama and colleagues [3] presented the extended ternary complex model to fill the void. This chapter discusses relevant mathematical models and generally offers a linkage between empirical measures of activity and molecular mechanisms. 

Cubic ternary complex model, a molecular model (J. Their. Biol 178, 151-167, 1996a 178, 169-182, 1996b 181, 381-397, 1996c) describing the coexistence of two receptor states that can interact with both G-proteins and ligands. The receptor/G-protein complexes may or may not produce a physiological response see Chapter 3.11.
