A influência da formação de ligações de hidrogênio (LHs) em sistemas moleculares é investigada analisando-se as propriedades de aglomerados próton-ligados e de moléculas em solventes próticos. As estruturas supermoleculares dos aglomerados são obtidas por otimização de geometria com diferentes métodos quânticos ab initio. Por sua vez, as estruturas supermoleculares dos solventes dependem de condições termodinâmicas e, portanto, são obtidas utilizando-se técnicas de simulação Monte Carlo, em que as interações intermoleculares são parametrizadas pelos potenciais de Lennard-Jones e de Coulomb. Os efeitos decorrentes da formação de LHs nos aglomerados moleculares são analisados a partir de suas prioridades: estabilidades, espectros vibracionais, constante rotacionais e dipolos elétricos. Estas propriedades são calculadas usando-se métodos perturbativos (MBPT/CC) e teoria do funcional da densidade(DFT). Para as moléculas solvatadas em meio líquido, os efeitos das LHs são analisadas na interação soluto-solvente duranto o processo de equilíbrio conformacional de fuufural em solventes próticos. A contribuição da interação do soluto com o meio também é investigada no espectro de absorção UV-vis do sistema furfural/água. Os resultados destes estudos mostram que a formação de LHs é importante para explicar o comportamento de algumas propriedades de sistemas moleculares próton-ligados, principalmente de aglomerados. No caso de sistemas em fase líquida, as LHs dependem, basicamente, do caráter prótico e da polaridade do solvente, propriedades que concorrem para a estabilização de possíveis formas conformacionais da molécula do soluto. / The influence of hydrogen bond formation in molecular systems is investigated analyzing the properties of both hydrogen-bonded clusters and molecules in protic solvents. The super-molecular structures of the cluster are obtained by optimizing the geometries with different ab initio quantum methods. On the other hand, the super-molecular structures of the solvents depend on thermodynamic conditions and, so, are obtained by using Monte Carlo simulation techniques, where the intermolecular interactions are accounted for the Lennard-Jones and Coulomb pair-potentials. The effects due to H-bond formation in the molecular clusters are analyzed from their properties: stabilities, vibrational spectra, rotational constants, and electric dipoles. These properties are calculated using perturbation methods (MBPT/CC) and density functional theory (DFT). For the molecules in liquid solvents, the H-bond effects are analyzed in the solute-solvent interaction during the conformational equilibrium process of furfural in protic solvents. The contribution of the interaction of the solute with the medium is also investigated in the UV-vis absorption spectrum of the furfural/water system. The results from these studies show that the H-bonding process is important to account for the behavior of some properties of H-bonded molecular systems, mainly of clusters. In the case of liquid-phase systems, the H-bonds depend basically on both the protic nature and polarity of the solvent, properties that come together to stabilize possible conformational forms of the solute molecules.

xviii, 724 p. : ill. (some col.) / Structural trends applicable to crystal engineering were studied in three classes of thiourea-based compounds. The aim of the study was to identify, predict, and ultimately design reliable single-molecule structural features, which could then be used to engineer crystals with desirable properties. In one class of compounds, this goal was achieved: N-alkyl and N-aryl derivatives of N,N'-bis(3-thioureidopropyl)piperazine adopted an identical conformation in the solid state, which resulted in near-identical crystal packing. A second class of closely related compounds, N-substituted tris(2-thioureidoethyl)amines, showed no such reliability in the solid state, likely because the parent structure lacked hydrogen-bonding functionalities sufficient to control intramolecular structure. In the third class of compounds that we studied, 1-benzoyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thioureas, substitution patterns were often predictive of molecular conformation; however, these intramolecular trends did not lead to recognizable crystal packing motifs. Nevertheless, certain physical properties observed in this last class of compounds--color, solubility, and often crystallinity--were conformer-specific, interestingly without any apparent relevance to crystal lattice structure. Solution-state and solid-state conformational trends in these 1-benzoyl-3-(2-pyridyl)thioureas have been documented, and speculations as to the source of color in one of the two observed conformations have been noted. / Committee in charge: Shih-Yuan Liu, Chairperson; Kenneth M.

Os estudos foram realizados através da espectroscopia de Ressonância Magnética Nuclear, apoiadas por cálculos teóricos da estrutura eletrônica. Realizou-se a síntese dos compostos propostos e, após a sua purificação, foram obtidos os espectros de RMN de 1H, 13C, HSQC, COSY, NOESY e TOCSY para caracterização dos compostos. Os cálculos teóricos foram efetuados com a teoria do funcional de densidade (DFT), empregando o funcional híbrido M062X, e teoria ab initio com o método MP2, utilizando as funções de base do tipo aug-cc-pVTZ, disponível no pacote Gaussian09, para a determinação das energias e geometrias dos confômeros mais estáveis na fase isolada. Realizou-se ainda um estudo da estrutura eletrônica dos confôrmeros mais estáveis, através da análise da função de onda pela aproximação NBO; QTAIM and NCI, para verificar quais interações estereoeletrônicas são responsáveis pela estabilidade conformacional. A análise conjunta de todos esses dados permitiu verificar quais são os fatores responsáveis pelo equilíbrio conformacional dos compostos em estudo / Abstract: This work titled: STEREOELECTRONIC INTERACTIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS IN THE CONFORMATIONAL PREFERENCES OF 3-HALO-2-HYDROXY-TETRAHYDROPYRAN (HALO = F, Cl, Br and I) aims to evaluate the effect of stereoelectronic interactions on the conformational stability of halohydrins derived from pyran (3-halo-2-hydroxy-tetrahydropyran halo = F, Cl, Br and I). The study was performed through NMR spectroscopy, supported by electronic structure calculations. The compounds were synthesized, purified and identified by their 1H, 13C, selective TOCSY NMR spectra as well as by their HSQC, COSY and NOESY contour map. The theoretical calculations were performed through Density Functional Theory (DFT) applying B3LYP hybrid functional and also ab inito theory was used applying MP2 method, for both theory aug-cc-pVTZ basis set were used to obtain the geometry and energy for the most stable conformers for the isolated molecule. NBO (natural bond orbitals), QTAIM (Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules) and NCI (Non-Covalent Interactions) analysis were applied to allow us to find out which stereoelectronic interactions are responsible by conformational stability. The combined analyses of all these data have shown which are the factors responsible for the conformational preferences of the compounds under study / Mestrado / Quimica Organica / Mestra em Química

The photosensitive unit triggering the negative phototaxis in the haloarchaeum Natronomonas pharaonis consists of the receptor sensory rhodopsin II (NpSRII) and its cognate transducer (NpHtrII) in a 2:2 stoichiometry. Upon light excitation, a structural rearrangement in the receptor initiates a displacement/rotation of the transducer helix TM2, which can be considered as starting event for the signal transduction. This signal is further transmitted to the cytoplasmic signaling domain through the signal transduction unit comprising two HAMP domains.Structural information already exists for the transmembrane region of this complex (crystal structure) as well as for the rod shaped cytoplasmic part of NpHtrII due to its high homologies with chemoreceptors. Moreover, the solution NMR structure of the isolated HAMP domain from A. fulgidus recently obtained shows a homodimeric, four-helical, parallel coiled-coil with an unusual interhelical packing, that is thought to propagate a signal by virtue of concerted helix rotations. Here, an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigation of site-directed spin labeled transducers in the NpSRII/NpHtrII complex has been carried out for structural and functional elucidation of the N. pharaonis HAMP. For this purpose, cw as well as pulse EPR techniques have been used in terms of mobility, accessibility and intra-transducer dimer distance analyses. Conformational changes induced by environmental inputs, namely salt, temperature and pH, give insight into the two-state equilibrium existing between a highly dynamic (dHAMP) and a more compact (cHAMP) conformation of this linker region.
