Intriguing High Z'' Cocrystals of EmtricitabinePalanisamy, V., Sanphui, P., Bolla, G., Narayan, Aditya, Seaton, Colin C., Vangala, Venu R. 12 August 2020 (has links)
Yes / Emtricitabine (ECB) afforded dimorphic cocrystals (Forms I, II) of benzoic acid (BA), whereas with p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) are resulted in as high Z'' cocrystals. Intriguingly, the Z'' of cocrystals are trends from two to fourteen based on the manipulation of functional groups on the para position of BA (where H atom is replaced with that of OH or NH2 group). ECB‒PABA cocrystal consists of six molecules each and two water molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z''=14) with 2D planar sheets represents the rare pharmaceutical cocrystal. The findings suggest that the increment of H bond donor(s) systematically via a suitable coformer are in correspondence with attaining high Z'' cocrystals. Further, solid state NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with single crystal X-ray diffraction are demonstrated as significant tools to enhance the understanding of the number of symmetry independent molecules in the crystalline lattice and provide insights to the mechanistic pathways of crystallization. / Department of Science and Technology (DST) Fund for improvement of S & T Infrastructure (FIST) with grant no.

Silica attached polymers and ligands for the selective removal of metal ions and radionuclides from aqueous solutionsHolt, James D. January 2014 (has links)
Surface functionalised silica materials have been prepared, followed by the extensive testing of their ability to remove metal ions from aqueous solutions. Modifications include ligand attachment and polymer grafting from the silica surface whilst the metals tested range from first row transition metals right through to the lanthanides and actinides. Characterisation of the materials produced has been of paramount importance for the understanding of the modification process and this is also extensively discussed. Atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) has been used as the primary polymerisation method. Following polymerisation of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), post functionalisation was attempted. However, this was found to cause severe cross-linking and all attempts to attach ligands to this failed. Nonetheless, this process was transferred to grafting from silica surfaces and a novel approach to the characterisation of this material was implemented. (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) was reacted with multiple forms of silica, primarily ZEOprep silica (average particle size 71.48 πm) and fumed silica (0.007 μm). This produced an amine coated surface to which 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) was attached, providing the required surface for radical polymerisation to proceed with a selected monomer. Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SSNMR) has been utilised as the major characterisation technique for each step, leading to significant understanding of how this occurs. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and elemental analysis has supported this method at each stage whilst also enabling one to calculate the moles of APTES present, per gram of APTES-functionalised silica. For the ZEOprep silica this was calculated to be at up to 1.51 x 10-3 mol g-1 and for the fumed silica 1.63 x 10-3 mol g-1. As well as testing the selective nature of these materials, solutions of individual ions and radionuclides were used to measure the effectiveness of the materials for a specific ion. Rd values for these metals ions including solutions of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cd2+, Eu(III) and [UO2]2+ have reached values ranging from 7.49 x 104 mL g-1 to as high as 2.17 x 109 mL g-1. These values are regarded as outstanding by other groups that have reported similar results and these are discussed in the report. This range includes values that were observed when competing Na+ and Ca2+ ions were present at 0.5 % and 1 % (w/w). pH testing was also investigated with the materials using a solution of europium ions to determine the most effective range and this was found to fall between pH 4 and 5. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has been utilised to help gain an understanding of the binding between Cu(II) ions and APTES, suggesting that copper ions bind with oxygen atoms closer to the silica surface as well as the nitrogen atoms at the end of the ligand. Meanwhile STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope) has been used to show how effectively the surface area of the material is used by imaging the europium ions over a sample of APTES-functionalised fumed silica. Ligands and polymers have been focussed on to build a catalogue of functional materials and this has been achieved in collaboration with PhosphonicS Ltd. The most significant finding from these selective investigations was that uranyl ions were found to be the most readily removed. Cu(II) and Eu(III) ions were also removed relatively effectively whilst Co(II), Ni(II), Zn2+ and Cd2+ proved the most challenging but certainly not impossible. [UO2]2+ concentrations were reduced from 17.1 ppm to 1.6 ppm after 4 weeks with use of the ligand SEA (2-aminoethyl sulfide ethyl silica), even with six other metal ions present at similar initial concentrations and a starting pH of 4.67 by adding just 50 mg of the material to a 45 mL solution.

Étude de l’implication des phosphoinositides dans la formation de l’enveloppe nucléaireZhendre, Vanessa 13 December 2010 (has links)
Des pathologies telles que la myopathie et certains types de cancer, peuvent être causées par une mauvaise formation de l’enveloppe nucléaire (EN), processus se produisant lors de chaque division cellulaire mais aussi lors de la formation du pronoyau mâle. Un modèle in vitro, dérivé de gamètes d’oursins, a été utilisé afin d’étudier les différentes étapes de formation de l’EN et a permis de révéler plusieurs informations essentielles. Un des points critiques est que des membranes fortement enrichies en phosphoinositides polyphosphorylés (PPIs) sont essentielles à la formation de l’EN, notamment lors des étapes de fusion membranaire. Ces membranes proviennent du cytoplasme de l’ovocyte fécondé (MV1) et des noyaux de spermatozoïdes (NERs). Nous avons construit des modèles membranaires mimant les compositions lipidiques de ces membranes, puis étudié leur structure, leur dynamique ainsi que leur morphologie par spectroscopie de RMN des solides et microscopie électronique. Nous avons montré que les PPIs induisent une courbure membranaire positive, conduisant à la formation de petites vésicules ou de micelles allongées. Plus important encore, dans le modèle « MV1», les membranes sont très fluides. Le modèle « NERs » est constitué de membranes globalement ordonnées, semblables aux phases dites « liquides ordonnées » avec une modulation apportée par la PPIs. Nous avons également construit un modèle membranaire minant la composition lipidique des vésicules MV2, membranes non-enrichies en PPIs mais représentant 90 % des vésicules participant à la formation de l’EN. Ce modèle membranaire présente une dynamique intermédiaire à celle observée pour les modèles MV1 et NERs. Ces propriétés nouvelles ont permis de proposer un mécanisme décrivant le rôle des PPIs lors de la fusion membranaire conduisant à la formation de l’enveloppe nucléaire. / Diseases, such as myopathies and some types of cancer, can be caused by abnormal nuclear envelope (NE) assembly, a process that takes place at each cell division and during male pronuclear formation. A cell-free assay from sea urchin gametes, that mimics the in vivo male pronucleus formation, has been used to dissect the various stages of NE assembly. This in vitro assay has revealed several novel features. One of the critical aspects is that membranes highly enriched in polyphosphorylated phosphoinositides (PPIs), are essential for NE formation, especially during the stage of membrane fusion. Theses membranes are extracted from the cytoplasm of the fertilised oocyte (MV1) and sperm nuclei (NERs). We made model membranes with similar lipid composition to MV1 and NERs and studied their structure, dynamics and morphologies by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy. We show that PPIs have a positive membrane curvature, inducing small vesicles and elongated micelles. More importantly, we illustrate that “MV1-like” membranes are very fluid. “NERs-like” membranes are globally ordered and belong to the family of liquid ordered phases. We also evidenced that PPIs can counterbalance in part the ordering effect of cholesterol. Moreover we made model membranes with similar lipid composition to MV2, non-enriched in PPIs membranes which constitute 90% of the vesicles forming the NE. This model membrane shows an in-between dynamics compared to MV1 and NERs. We therefore propose a mechanism describing the role of PPIs during membrane fusion leading to nuclear membrane assembly.

Amino-functionalized organic–inorganic hybrid materials with a narrow distributed nanostructure of 2–4 nm in size were obtained by means of a template-free and non-aqueous procedure. Simultaneous twin polymerization of novel amino group containing twin monomers with 2,2′-spirobi[4H-1,3,2-benzodioxasiline] has been applied for this purpose. The amino groups of the organic–inorganic hybrid material are useful for post derivatization. / Dieser Beitrag ist aufgrund einer (DFG-geförderten) Allianz- bzw. Nationallizenz frei zugänglich.

Développements méthodologiques pour la cristallisation et l'analyse structurale de protéines par Résonance Magnétique Nucléaire en phase solide / Sviluppi metodologici per la cristallizazione e l'analisi struttrale di proteine tramite Risonanza Magnetica Nucleare alle stato solido / Methodological development for crystallization and strctural analysis of proteins by solid-state Nuclear Magnetic ResonanceMarchetti, Alessandro 12 July 2012 (has links)
Malgré sa diffusion rapide dans le domaine des biomolécules, plusieurs problèmes restent à résoudre avant que la RMN du solide à haute résolution soit prête à faire face à des applications complexes. Afin d’étendre ses capacités, les objectifs de cette thèse sont de deux ordres: a) établir un nouveau système modèle, plus complexe que les petites protéines globulaires et b) développer de nouvelles expériences de RMN afin d'améliorer la sensibilité et la résolution des méthodes pour l'attribution de résonances. Le domaine N-terminale de l’unité de l'ADN polymérase III de E. coli a été choisi comme système cible. Les conditions de préparation de l’échantillon sont obtenues grâce aux processus de screening à haut débit, et l'attribution quasi exhaustive des résonances est effectuée par l'application des expériences bien établies basées sur les irradiations rf à haute puissance et la rotation à l'angle magique (MAS) à basse fréquence. Nous montrons que l'utilisation de vitesses à l'angle magique "ultra-rapides" (60 kHz) rend possible l'usage d'expériences aux "puissances faibles" affichant une augmentation extraordinaire de résolution et sensibilité, et permettant l'acquisition des transferts par polarisation croisée, des corrélations entre les liaisons chimiques et des corrélations détectées par 1H. Des faibles largeurs de pics sur les spectres 1H sont obtenues pour des échantillons de protéines entièrement protonées à l’état solide sans qu'une dilution dans un milieu deutéré soit nécessaire. La dernière partie de la thèse concerne l’étude de phases cristaux liquides (LX) thermotropes d'un smectogen de Vries , le dérivé (S)-hexyl-lactate, abrégé 9HL, sélectivement deutéré. / Despite the rapid diffusion of solid-state NMR (ssNMR) in the area of biomolecules, its application is far away of being systemic, and many problems remain however tobe solved before it is applied to the study of challenging solid protein assemblies. In order to extend the capabilities of ssNMR to larger substrates, the objectives of this thesis are twofold: a) to establish a new, large and more complex model system, and b) to develop new, sophisticated NMR experiments in order to improve the sensitivity and the resolution of the currently existing schemes for resonance assignment. The N-terminal domain of the Polymerase subunit III of E. coli was chosen as a target system. Sample preparation conditions are obtained, notably in combination with automated screening processes, and almost complete resonance assignment is performed based on high-power rf irradiations and slow magic-angle spinning (MAS. We show that the use use of MAS at so-called ultra-fast spinning rates (60 kHz makes possible the use of "totally low power" experiments. This yields an extraordinary increase in resolution and sensitivity, enabling the acquisition of selective cross polarization (CP) transfers, through-bond correlations and 1H-detected correlations. Narrow 1H NMR line widths and robust backbone assignment can be obtained for fully protonated medium-size protein samples in the solid state under ultra-fast magic-angle spinning, without any need for dilution against a deuterated background. The final part of this thesis concerns the study of thermotropic liquid crystals (LX) phases of a de Vries smectogen, the (S)-hexyl-lactate derivative abbreviated as 9HL, selectively deuterated. / Nonostante la rapida diffusione della RMN allo stato solido (ssNMR) nell’ambito delle biomolecule, molti problemi rimangono da risolvere prima che quest’ultima possa essere applicata ad applicazioni più complesse. Allo scopo di estendere le sue potenzialità, gli obiettivi di questa tesi sono duplici. a) stabilire un nuovo sistema modello, più complesso delle semplici proteine globulari e b) sviluppare nuovi e piu sofisticati esperimenti NMR al fine di migliorare la sensibilità e la risoluzione dei metodi attualmente esistenti per l'assegnazione delle risonanze. Il dominio N-terminale dell’unita ε della DNA Polimerasi III di E.Coli è stato scelto come sistema bersaglio. Le condizioni di preparazione del campione sono ottenute grazie a processi di screening ad alta capacita, e l’assegnazione quasi complete delle risonanze è effettuata tramite l’applicazione di esperimenti routinari basati su irradiazioni RF a alta potenza e rotazioni all’angolo magico a bassa frequenza. Mostriamo che l’utilizzo di rotazioni all’angolo magico “ultra-MAS” (60 kHz) rende possibile l’uso di esperimenti “a basse potenze” mostrando uno straordinario aumento di risoluzione e sensibilità, e permettendo l’acquisizione di trasferimenti di polarizzazione selettivi, di correlazioni scalari attraverso i legami chimici e di correlazioni acquisite al protone. Larghezze di linea sottili al protone sono ottenute per campioni di proteine interamente protonate allo stato solido senza che sia necessaria diluizione in ambiente deuterato. L’ultima parte della tesi riguarda lo studio di fasi liquido-cristalline termotropiche di uno smettogeno de Vries, il derivato dello (S)-esil-lattato, abbreviato come 9HL, selettivamente deuterato.

Synthèse de nanolubrifiants à base de carbones fluorés / Synthesis of nanolubricants, fluorinated carbon-basedDisa, Elodie 16 November 2012 (has links)
Pour répondre aux problématiques d’usure précoce des pièces mécaniques causée par des pressions et températures élevées d’utilisation, des nanolubrifiants constitués de nanocarbones fluorés, connus pour leurs faibles coefficients de frottement et haute stabilité thermique ont été synthétisés. Pour améliorer ces propriétés, des précurseurs nanocarbonés de dimensionnalités différentes, et des procédés de synthèse gaz-solide variés ont été employés. Ainsi, une structure fermée comme les nanofibres de carbone NFCs (1D, tubulaire), ouverte comme le mélange nanodisques / nanocônes de carbone NDCs (majoritairement 2D, discotique) et intermédiaire avec les noirs de carbone graphitisés NCGs (0D, sphérique) ont été fluorés, d’une part avec le fluor moléculaire gazeux et d’autre part avec le fluor atomique produit par décomposition thermique d’un agent solide. Les mécanismes de fluoration / défluoration ont été proposés à l’aide de différentes techniques de caractérisation complémentaires (RMN du solide, MEB, MET, AFM, DRX) pour l’ensemble des matrices étudiées. Des matériaux présentant un gain de stabilité thermique de plusieurs dizaines de degrés comparativement aux matériaux fluorés de la littérature ont été élaborés, et une nouvelle méthode de synthèse dite « fluoration flash » a été mise au point pour étendre encore cette tenue en température. Les bonnes propriétés tribologiques de ces matériaux ont également été démontrées, notamment à 160°C et ceci quel que soit le mode de fluoration. Par la suite, des vernis à base de résines siliconées et chargés en nanofibres de carbone fluorées ont été formulés. Le revêtement composite présente une stabilité thermique supérieure à 400°C comme démontré par l’étude de son mécanisme de dégradation en température, notamment par couplage ATG-FTIR. D’un point de vue tribologique, les coefficients de frottement mesurés à température ambiante et 160°C sont inférieurs à 0,1 et les tribofilms obtenus ont été caractérisés par analyse MEB et EDX. / To address some issues to premature wear caused by high pressures and temperatures used on aircraft parts, nanolubricants made of fluorinated nanocarbons were synthesized. They are known for their low friction coefficients and high thermal stability in air. To improve these properties, carbonaceous nanomaterial precursors with different dimensionalities, and various gaz-solid synthesis methods were investigated. Thus, a closed structure such as carbon nanofibres (1D, tubular), opened such as carbon nanodiscs/nanocones (2D in majority, discotic) and intermediate with graphitized carbon blacks(0D, spherical) were fluorinated, firstly with molecular fluorine gas, and secondly with atomic fluorine released by the thermal decomposition of a solid fluorinating agent. Mechanisms of fluorination/defluorination were proposed thanks to complementary characterization techniques (solid NMR, SEM, TEM, AFM, XRD) for all the studied compounds. Materials with a gain of thermal stability of several tens of degrees compared to fluorinated materials of the litterature were prepared, and a new synthesis way called “flash fluorination” has been developed to further expand the thermal stability in air. Good tribological properties of these materials have been also demonstrated, including high temperature (160°C) regardless of the fluorination method. Then, polysiloxane resins loaded with fluorinated carbon nanofibres were formulated. The composite coatings exhibit thermal stability above 400°C as demonstrated by the study of the degradation mechanism as a function of the temperature, in particular by coupling TGA-FTIR. From a tribological point of view, friction coefficients measured at room temperature and 160°C are below 0.1 and the tribofilms obtained were characterized by SEM and EDX analysis.

Étude de l'organisation à l'état solide et de la dynamique des chaines polymères dans les nanocomposites polyéthylène/POSS / Investigation of solid-state organization and polymer chain mobility in polyethylene-POSS nanocompositesPitard, Domitille 17 January 2008 (has links)
Liées de façon covalente à des chaînes polymères, les nanoparticules POSS (polysilses-quioxanes polyédriques) permettent l’obtention de matériaux nanocomposites hybrides orga-nique/inorganique. Ces nanoparticules présentent deux intérêts majeurs: des dimensions bien définies (cœur inorganique: 0.5 nm), ainsi que leur caractère hybride ( groupements organiques entourant les cages inorganiques). Les nanocomposites polymère/POSS peuvent présenter un renfort important des propriétés mécaniques et de la stabilité thermique de la matrice polymère. Cependant, l’origine moléculaire de ce renfort reste mal comprise. Aussi, afin de mieux comprendre le renfort des propriétés mécaniques de la matrice, nous avons étudié l’effet des particules POSS sur l’organisation à l’état solide et la dynamique des chaînes po-lymères au sein d’une matrice semi-cristalline. Pour cela, nous avons considéré une série de copolymères polyéthylène-POSS, caractérisés par une large gamme de concentration en POSS. Le polyéthylène et le POSS ayant intrinsèquement tendance à cristalliser, les copolymères présentent des organisations à l’état solide complexes que nous avons caractérisés par l’utilisation combinée de la calorimétrie différentielle à balayage (DSC), de la diffraction des rayons X aux grands angles (DRX) et de la résonance magnétique nucléaire en phase solide (RMN). Dans un second volet de cette étude, nous nous sommes intéressés à la dynamique des chaînes de polyéthylène en phase amorphe et à l’évolution de celle-ci avec le taux de charge des nanocomposites. Enfin, nous avons également étudié, de façon sélective, la dynamique des segments de chaînes de polyéthylène situés au voisinage de la charge / Grafting polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) to polymer chains offers a novel avenue to prepare hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposites. The great advantage of such an approach holds in the very well-defined dimensions of the filler particles(inorganic core: 0.5 nm), in contrast with polymer/clay systems. Polymer/POSS nanocomposites display attractive properties such as significant mechanical reinforcement and increased thermal stability. However, the molecular origins of these enhancements are still an open question. The aim of this work is to describe both bulk organization and molecular motions of the polymer chains within these materials: these molecular properties should lead to a deeper knowledge of the enhancement of the polymer-POSS mechanical properties. The systems investigated are polyethylene (PE)-POSS copolymers with various POSS contents. The (semi-)crystalline behaviour of both PE and POSS particles induces complex bulk organization of these hybrid materials. The combined use of NMR, DSC and X-ray scattering experiments enabled to monitor the variation of the solid-state organization with the filler loading. In the second part of this work, the PE chain dynamics was investigated in the amorphous phase and its variation with the filler content was considered. Lastly, selective NMR experiments were used to probe the PE chain segment mobility close to the POSS nanoparticles

Étude du comportement dynamique de systèmes catalytiques greffés sur silice. / Dynamics of alkylidenes complexes supported on amorphous silica.Halbert, Stéphanie 04 July 2013 (has links)
Ce mémoire présente une méthodologie théorique pour comprendre l'origine de différence de comportement dynamique de complexes alkylidènes, catalyseurs de type Schrock de la métathèse des oléfines, greffés un support de silice amorphe. Dans un travail antérieur, les différences entre les valeurs de l'anisotropie de déplacement chimique (CSA) obtenus par des mesures de RMN du solide et celles estimées par le calcul pour des systèmes figés avaient conduit à suggérer des régimes dynamiques différents pour ces complexes, certains étant proposés comme immobiles, d'autres comme mobiles. Dans le premier groupe se trouve les complexes du molybdène et dans le second les complexes du tungstène, rhénium et tantale. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous nous sommes donc attachés à mettre en place une méthodologie pour déterminer ces CSA et donc la nature de la dynamique de chaque système qui conduit au CSA moyenné. Nous nous sommes d'abord intéressés à des systèmes moléculaires pour révéler des interactions non covalentes entre les complexes et le support silice à partir d'une approche de type petit cluster en utilisant divers niveaux de calculs DFT et modèles moléculaires. Cette modélisation moléculaire de la silice étant insuffisante, nous avons entrepris une modélisation de la surface de silice amorphe par dynamique moléculaire classique dont les caractéristiques ont été comparées aux données expérimentales existantes. Le comportement dynamique de ces systèmes greffés sur silice amorphe a été simulé par dynamique moléculaire ab initio QM/MM, couplant une description quantique du complexe organométallique à une description classique du support. Ces études dynamiques ont conduit à des valeurs de CSA moyennées dans le temps de la dynamique. La comparaison de ces valeurs calculées et des valeurs expérimentales a permis d'apporter des éléments de réponse sur l'origine des différences de comportement dynamique de ces complexes alkylidènes. De façon remarquable des mouvements d'ensemble des espèces greffées par rapport à la surface de silice et des modifications de la coordination du métal par l'apparition d'interaction agostique contribuent à moyenner le CSA. / This work presents a theoretical study aimed at analyzing the origin of the differences in the dynamics of alkylidenes complexes, known as Schrock olefin metathesis catalysts, supported on amorphous silica. The difference between the experimental chemical shift anisotropies (CSA) obtained from solid state NMR measurements and the values computed for the most stable configurations have been used in previous work to suggest different dynamical behaviors for the supported complexes. Some of the complexes were suggested to have limited mobilities while others were suggested to be mobiles. In the first group, one finds Mo complexes, and in the second, W, Re and Ta complexes. In this thesis, a methodology was established to compute the CSA and to obtain information on the dynamics that average the CSA over time. In the first part of this work, molecular species were considered and the non covalent interactions between the surface and the grafted complexes were studied with various DFT levels of calculations and various molecular models. This molecular modeling being inappropriate, a better representation of the surface of amorphous silica was carried out with classical molecular dynamic methods. The nature of the surface was analyzed and compared with available experimental information. In a following step, the dynamic behavior of these complexes was determined using anab initio molecular dynamics (QM/MM) approach in which the metal fragments are treated at the quantum level and the support represented in a classical manner. These molecular dynamics studies yield time averaged CSA that are reasonably close to the experimental values and confirm in particular the partition into immobile (Mo) and mobile (W, Re, Ta) complexes. A detailed analysis of the results leads to a better understanding of the nature of the dynamics. Remarkably, motions relative to the silica surface and vibrations influencing the coordination sphere of the metal involving in particular agostic interactions both contribute to average the CSA.

Quantifizierung saurer Lewis- und Brønsted-Zentren auf FestkörperoberflächenHemmann, Felix Terence 24 February 2015 (has links)
Ziel der vorliegenden Promotionsarbeit war die Entwicklung einer Methode zur Quantifizierung saurer Zentren auf Festkörperoberflächen mittels 15N-Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie von adsorbierten Pyridinmolekülen. Die 15N-Festkörper-NMR von adsorbiertem Pyridin ermöglicht die Unterscheidung verschiedener Arten von sauren Zentren, wie Lewis- und Brønsted-Zentren. Die Bestimmung der Art und der Konzentration auftretender saurer Zentren ist entscheidend, um die katalytische Aktivität fester Katalysatoren in einer Reaktion zu verstehen. Da 15N-NMR-Messungen zumeist zeitaufwendig sind, wurde in dieser Arbeit eine zeitoptimierte Messroutine entwickelt, die auf der Messung von 15N-Einzelpuls-Spektren mit kurzen Pulswiederholzeiten beruht. Um diese Spektren quantitativ auswerten zu können, müssen die detektierten NMR-Signale bezüglich ihrer T1-Relaxation korrigiert werden. Zudem treten in 15N-Einzelpuls-NMR-Spektren oft starke Störungen der Basislinie auf. Zur Unterdrückung dieser Störsignale wurde die EASY-Methode entwickelt, die auf der Messung von zwei schnell aufeinander folgenden Spektren basiert. Mittels dieser Methode können auftretende Störsignale in quantitativen 15N-NMR-Spektren unterdrückt werden. Die entwickelte zeitoptimierte Quantifizierungsmethode wurde an zwei Probenserien von festen Säuren getestet; zum einen an Aluminiumhydroxidfluoriden, als Vertreter von Verbindungen mit stark sauren Zentren, und zum anderen an hydroxylierten Magnesiumfluoriden, als Vertreter schwach saurer Verbindungen. Der Vergleich mit anderen quantitativen Methoden zeigte, dass die 15N-Festkörper-NMR-Spektroskopie von adsorbiertem Pyridin hervorragend für die Quantifizierung saurer Zentren geeignet ist und Einblicke in die katalytische Aktivität fester Katalysatoren ermöglicht. / The aim of the present dissertation was to develop a method for the quantification of acidic sites on solid surfaces by 15N solid-state NMR with pyridine as probe molecule. 15N NMR of adsorbed pyridine allows to distinguish different types of acidic sites like Lewis and Brønsted sites. The determination of the kind and concentrations of occurring acidic sites is crucial to understand the catalytic activity of a solid catalyst in a reaction.15N NMR measurements are often time-consuming. Hence, a time-optimized NMR quantification procedure was developed which uses 15N single pulse spectra with short pulse repetition delays. For quantitative analysis of these spectra, occurring signals were corrected according to their T1 relaxation. Furthermore, often strong baseline disturbances are observed in single pulse spectra. For the suppression of these disturbances, the EASY method was developed. The EASY method uses two successive scans to obtain quantitative NMR spectra, in which baseline disturbances are suppressed. The developed time-optimized method for the quantification of acidic sites was applied on two series of samples. One series of aluminum hydroxide fluorides as representatives of catalysts with strong acid sites and one series of hydroxylated magnesium fluorides as representatives of weak acidic catalysts. The comparison with other quantitative methods shows that 15N solid-state NMR of adsorbed pyridine is an excellent method for the quantification of acidic sites, because insights in the catalytic activity of a catalyst can be gained.

Development and application of new methodology for 1 H-detected MAS solid-state NMR on biomoleculesLinser, Rasmus Jan 26 August 2010 (has links)
In der hier vorgestellten Arbeit werden neuartige Festkörper-NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Experimente vorgestellt, die eine direkte Detektion von Protonen einbeziehen. Die Technik basiert auf einer weitgehenden Verdünnung der Protonen durch Deuteronen in vollständig isotopenmarkierten, rekombinant exprimierten Proteinen und ermöglicht Festkörper-NMR mit sehr schmalen Linienbreiten aller standardmäßig erfassbaren Kerne (Protonen, Stickstoff, Kohlenstoff) ohne Hochleistungsentkopplung. Zusätzlich werden Methoden für ein besonders hohes Signal-zu-Rausch durch Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement (PRE) entwickelt. Die so präparierten Proteine erweisen sich tauglich für eine stark verbesserte NMR-Charakterisierung durch eine Vielzahl neuer Struktur- und Zuordnungsexperimente, in denen Techniken aus Festkörper- und Lösungs-NMR vereint werden. Dabei können hier erstmals auch Bereiche im Protein mit einbezogen werden, die langsame Dynamik vollziehen. Die Experimente finden Anwendung auf die SH3-Domäne von alpha-Spektrin, das Alzheimer-Peptid Abeta1-40 und das Membranprotein Omp G. / In this work, novel solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) experiments are presented that imply direct detection of protons. The technique is based on extensive dilution of protons with deuterons in uniformly labelled, recombinantly expressed proteins and allows for solid-state NMR providing very narrow lines of all commonly accessible nuclei (protons, nitrogen, carbon) without high-power decoupling. In addition, methods are developed that yield a particularly high signal-to-noise through Paramagnetic Relaxation Enhancement (PRE). The accordingly prepared proteins are shown to be applicable for a significantly improved NMR-characterization by manifold new experiments for assignment and structure elucidation, in which techniques from solid-state and solution NMR are united. For the first time, also those regions in a protein can be accessed that undergo slow dynamics. The experiments are employed on the SH3-domain of alpha-spectrin, Alzheimer’s peptide Abeta1‑40, and the membrane protein Omp G.
