Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of N-substituted phenothiazines by chromium(VI)
K Pitchumani V Subramanian P P Jegatheesan C Srinivasan
The kinetics of oxidation of N-acetylphenothiazine (NAPT) by Cr(VI) in 80% acetic acid-20% water (v/v) mixture is first-order each in [NAPT] and [Cr(VI)]. The reaction is catalysed by added acid with a third-order dependence in [HCIO4], Increase in polarity of the solvent medium decreases the rate. The oxidation is insensitive to variations in ionic strength as well as added acrylamide. Oxidations of phenothiazine (PT) and N-methylphenothiazine (NMPT) under similar conditions are found to be very fast. However kinetic investigations with NMPT in an acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer show first-order dependence each in [NMPT] and [Cr(VI)] and a fractional-order dependence in [H+] in the pH range 1.80-3.09. Increase in polarity of the medium increases the rate. In both the cases, the corresponding sulphoxides are identified as oxidation products. Based on the kinetic results, mechanisms for oxidations are proposed.

Investigations on geometrical features in induced ordering of collagen by small molecules
B Madhan Aruna Dhathathreyan V Subramanian T Ramasami
Binding energies of the interaction of collagen like triple helical peptides with a series of polyphenols, viz. gallic acid, catechin, epigallocatechingallate and pentagalloylglucose have been computed using molecular modelling approaches. A correlation of calculated binding energies with the interfacial molecular volumes involved in the interaction is observed. Calculated interface surface areas for the binding of polyphenols with collagen-like triple helical peptides vary in the range of 60–210 Å2 and hydrogen bond lengths vary in the range of 2.7–3.4 Å. Interfacial molecular volumes can be calculated from the solvent inaccessible surface areas and hydrogen bond lengths involved in the binding of polyphenols to collagen. Molecular aggregation of collagen in the presence of some polyphenols and chromium (III) salts has been probed experimentally in monolayer systems. The monolayer arrangement of collagen seems to be influenced by the presence of small molecules like formaldehyde, gluteraldehyde, tannic acid and chromium (III) salts. A fractal structure is observed on account of two-dimensional aggregation of collagen induced by tanning species. Atomic force microscopy has been employed to probe the topographic images of two-dimensional aggregation of collagen induced by chromium (III) salts. A case is made that long-range ordering of collagen by molecular species involved in its stabilisation is influenced by molecular geometries involved in its interaction with small molecules.

A conceptual DFT approach towards analysing toxicity
U Sarkar D R Roy P K Chattaraj R Parthasarathi J Padmanabhan V Subramanian
The applicability of DFT-based descriptors for the development of toxicological structure-activity relationships is assessed. Emphasis in the present study is on the quality of DFT-based descriptors for the development of toxicological QSARs and, more specifically, on the potential of the electrophilicity concept in predicting toxicity of benzidine derivatives and the series of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) expressed in terms of their biological activity data (

Structure and stability of spiro-cyclic water clusters
M Elango V Subramanian N Sathyamurthy
The structure and stability of spiro-cyclic water clusters containing up to 32 water molecules have been investigated at different levels of theory. Although there exist minima lower in energy than these spiro-cyclic clusters, calculations at the Hartree-Fock level, density functional theory using B3LYP parametrization and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory using 6-31G∗ and 6-311++G∗∗ basis sets show that they are stable in their own right. Vibrational frequency calculations and atoms-inmolecules analysis of the electron density map confirm the robustness of these hydrogen bonded clusters.

The role of C-H$\ldots \pi$ interaction in the stabilization of benzene and adamantane clusters
R Mahesh Kumar M Elango R Parthasarathi Dolly Vijay V Subramanian
In this investigation, a systematic attempt has been made to understand the interaction between adamantane and benzene using both ab initio and density functional theory methods. C-H$\ldots \pi$ type of interaction between C-H groups of adamantane and 𝜋 cloud of benzene is found as the important attraction for complex formation. The study also reveals that the methylene (-CH2) and methine (-CH) groups of adamantane interact with benzene resulting in different geometrical structures. And it is found that the former complex is stronger than the later. The diamondoid structure of adamantane enables it to interact with a maximum of four benzene molecules, each one along the four faces. The stability of the complex increases with increase in the number of benzene molecules. The energy decomposition analysis of adamantane-benzene complexes using DMA approach shows that the origin of the stability primarily arises from the dispersive interaction. The theory of atoms in molecules (AIM) supports the existence of weak interaction between the two systems. The electrostatic topography features provide clues for the mode of interaction of adamantane with benzene.
