          Abstract

          The redox chemistry of catechin (catH2) and its iron complexes has been studied in dimethyl sulphoxide. In the absence of base a one-to-one iron(II)-catechin complex is formed which exhibits oxidation processes at 0.28 , 0.66, and 0.92 V vs SCE. These processes correspond to the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) , the formation of the quinonic form of the catechol moiety and the oxidation of another hydroxy group to a radical. In the presence of base a stable 1:1 complex is formed with oxidation processes that show up at +0.25, +0.64, and +0.88 V vs SCE. The voltammetric and spectroscopic characterization of the species produced after the oxidation processes is described. Upon interaction of the complex with superoxide radical anion in dimethyl sulphoxide, the basic character of this radical anion causes the formation of the monoanion of catechin leading to a more stable complex of iron(II). The protonated superoxide disproportionates to molecular oxygen and peroxide, causing the oxidation of the metal ion. The addition of a second equivalent of superoxide oxidizes bound catechin to the corresponding semiquinone. The formation of hydroxy radicals through Fenton chemistry does not take place because peroxide is consumed and the metal ion remains as a stable iron(III) complex

          La química redox de catequina (CatH2) y sus complejos de hierro se ha estudiado en dimetilsulfóxido. En ausencia de base se forma un complejo 1:1 de hierro (II)-catequina el cual presenta oxidaciones a 0,28 , 0,66 y 0,92 V vs E.C.S. Estos procesos corresponden a la oxidación de Fe (II) a Fe (III), la formación de la forma quinónica del residuo catecólico y la oxidación del sistema hidroxílico del anillo principal. En presencia de base un complejo estable 1:1 se forma, el cual presenta oxidaciones a +0,25, +0,64 y 0.88 V vs E.C.S. . La caracterización voltamétrica y espectroscópica de las especies formadas luego de las oxidaciones se describe. Luego de la interacción el complejo con el radical anión superóxido en dimetilsulfóxido, el carácter básico de este radical induce la formación del monoanión de catequina con la consiguiente formación del complejo estable de Fe (II) . El superóxido protonado dismuta a oxígeno molecular y peróxido, produciendo la oxidación del ión metálico. La adición de un segundo equivalente de superóxido oxida la catequina coordinada a la especie semiquinónica. La formación de radicales OH mediante la reacción de Fenton no se verifica porque el peróxido se ha consumido y el ión metálico permanece estable como complejo de Fe (III)

          Neutral and charged excitations in carbon fullerenes from first-principles many-body theories

          We investigate the accuracy of first-principles many-body theories at the nanoscale by comparing the low energy excitations of the carbon fullerenes C_20, C_24, C_50, C_60, C_70, and C_80 with experiment. Properties are calculated via the GW-Bethe-Salpeter Equation (GW-BSE) and diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods. We critically compare these theories and assess their accuracy against available photoabsorption and photoelectron spectroscopy data. The first ionization potentials are consistently well reproduced and are similar for all the fullerenes and methods studied. The electron affinities and first triplet excitation energies show substantial method and geometry dependence. These results establish the validity of many-body theories as viable alternative to density-functional theory in describing electronic properties of confined carbon nanostructures. We find a correlation between energy gap and stability of fullerenes. We also find that the electron affinity of fullerenes is very high and size-independent, which explains their tendency to form compounds with electron-donor cations.

              Bilayer registry in a multicomponent asymmetric membrane : dependence on lipid composition and chain length

              A question of considerable interest to cell membrane biology is whether phase segregated domains across an asymmetric bilayer are strongly correlated with each other and whether phase segregation in one leaflet can induce segregation in the other. We answer both these questions in the affirmative, using an atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to study the equilibrium statistical properties of a 3-component {\em asymmetric} lipid bilayer comprising an unsaturated POPC (palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidyl-choline), a saturated SM (sphingomyelin) and cholesterol with different composition ratios. Our simulations are done by fixing the composition of the upper leaflet to be at the coexistence of the liquid ordered (\(l_o\)) - liquid disordered (\(l_d\)) phases, while the composition of the lower leaflet is varied from the phase coexistence regime to the mixed \(l_d\) phase, across a first-order phase boundary. In the regime of phase coexistence in each leaflet, we find strong transbilayer correlations of the \(l_o\) domains across the two leaflets, resulting in {\it bilayer registry}. This transbilayer correlation depends sensitively upon the chain length of the participating lipids and possibly other features of lipid chemistry, such as degree of saturation. We find that the \(l_o\) domains in the upper leaflet can {\em induce} phase segregation in the lower leaflet, when the latter is nominally in the mixed (\(l_d\)) phase.
