Molecule zwitterionic

Contrary to all other reactions with acids the behaviour of the zwitterion towards vapours of formic acid is intriguing, since no proton transfer is observed. The formic acid vapour uptake generates a material composed of pairs of zwitterion molecules, linked by O-H- - O bonds between the protonated -COOH and the deprotonated -COO() groups [0---0 separation 2.526(4) A] residing on the organometallic moiety. The zwitterion dimers interact with two formic acid molecules via 0-H---0 and C-H---0 hydrogen bonds [0---0 distance 2.541(4),... 

Anthranilic acid II possesses only non-zwitterionic molecules which form dimers of the A—A type. 

Another photochemically driven proton transfer occurs in the system 46. This molecule on sublimation at low temperatures crystallizes in form 46a having infinite chains of intermolecular hydrogen bonds connecting zwitterionic molecules. Its fluorescence at such temperatures is essentially that of the acridinium ion. However, on prolonged UV irradiation, conversion to 46b occurs and the... 

The structure of tetraphenylhexaazanthracene was confirmed as 3 by X-ray crystallography and revealed a monoclinic unit cell, with the zwitterionic molecules arranged in stacks along the shortest crystallographic c axis. The charges are delocalized as depicted in 3 <1998JA2989>. 

Close proximity of the oppositely charged functional groups can be achieved in ion exchangers with covalently bonded zwitterionic molecules in which two or three methylene chains separate the carboxylate or sulfonate and quaternary ammonium groups [ 13-151. This arrangement results in the establishment of a combination of repulsion and attraction electrostatic forces and such stationary phases have been used for the separation of seven or eight anions and cations [13,141. 

There are still only a few published applications of sorbents with covalently bonded zwitterionic molecules for simultaneous determination of anions and cations. This is related to the difficulties... 

Examples of these molecules are amino acids, which exist in the zwitterionic form in acid solution, and in which the molecule contains an equal quantity of positively and negatively charged groups. Thus, zwitterionic molecules are dipolar ions that can have a total positive or negative charge or be neutral, according to solution pH. 

Adsorption of enzymes to various polymeric resins is a straightforward means for immobilization. Zwitterionic molecules such as proteins can bind to both anionic and cationic ion exchange resins. Hydrophobic macroporous resins are also useful for immobilizing many enzymes, particularly lipases. For example, an immobilized form of Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) on acrylic resin has been sold for many years under the name, Novozym 435 (N435). The enzyme is produced in a modified Aspergillus organism by submerged fermentation and is subsequently adsorbed onto a macroporous... 

The epoxide method can be used with epoxides of acyclic [ 165-168] and cyclic [169-172] alkenes with a visible bias for cyclohexene oxide as the epoxide of choice. The epoxide is usually reacted with unsubstituted imidazole creating a neutral molecule. If the epoxide is reacted with an N-substituted imidazole, a zwitterionic molecule is created as the hydroxide functional group in the sidearm lacks the imidazole NH hydrogen atom to be proto-nated. In this case, addition of one equivalent of acid provides protonation to the alcohol and the counteranion for the formation of the imidazolium salt. 

This function exactly vanishes for uncorrelated states, i.e. states that can be defined as products of local molecular states (as in the mf and EM assumption). Positive (negative) f, indicates instead an increased (decreased) probability of finding I nearby zwitterionic molecules with respect to the uncorrelated state at the same average polarity. Fig. 11 shows the Z dependence of f, calculated for the most optically active state (left panel) and for the gs (right panel) of the same cluster as in Fig. 9. For the active excited state, a sizeable weight is found of wave functions with several (say 2 to 6) nearby fully zwitterionic molecules (we will call these wave functions T-droplets ). This demonstrates that the phenomenon of photoinduced multielectron transfer corresponds to a concerted motion of electrons on several nearby molecular sites [93]. 

Zyss et al. [93] have reported tire synthesis and bulk SHG properties of a new class of stilbazolium derivatives in which the anionic and cationic parts are liked together by a n-alkyl chain. Tliese molecules are inner salts in the zwitterionic families as shown in Figure 19. These zwitterionic molecules have a large dipole moment, which is independent of tlie intermolecular CT.

Our calculation shows a remarkable solvent effect on the first hyperpolarizabilities of zwitterionic molecules. First order NLO responses are low and positive in the gas phase and then increases slowly with solvent polarity. Then it started to decrease with the solvent polarity. The (3 values remain negative in all Are polar solvents and pauses highest values at a moderate e (6-8) and then again decrease slowly with the Increase in e. Tills behavior is mainly due to the change of the structure from qulnold to zwitterionic form. Once it is in mostly zwitterionic form, (3 values decrease with the increase of solvent polarity. Recently similar behavior has been observed experimentally by Cross et al [73] and Abbotto et al. 

To understand the origin of die remarkable solvent effects in zwitterionic molecules, we calculated die change in dipole moment between ground and charge-transfer excited state (Ajjliq). Figure 23 shows the plot of the A Xio vs. e for different solvents. It is interesting to note that the trend in the variation of A Xio and 3 with e is quite similar, which follows two-state model perfectly. This confirms...
