Computational Chemistry

Project #1

Dative boron-nitrogen type bonds are useful structural directing elements in supramolecular chemistry, and have found novel applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. One novel application is the use of phenylboronate containing copolymers (PBCCs) currently under development as molecular scaffolds with poly(vinyl alcohols) (PVAs). A key feature of PBCC-PVAs is their biodegradability, allowing them to be removed easily from wounds after healing, requiring only a fructose solution to disintegrate the polymer. Proximal amine groups are crucial for protecting the phenyl boronic acid (PBA) portion of the PBCC while in the aqueous phase.

The disruption of a boron-nitrogen dative bond has long been implicated as the mechanism for fluorescence turn-on in arylboronic acid diol sensors. However, recent evidence suggests that a boron-nitrogen dative bond plays a lesser role, and an inserted water molecule is more likely to modulate fluorescence by coordinating the nitrogen and boron atoms.

We employ computational methods to study boron-nitrogen bonds, boronic/borinic acids, boroxines, boron-based sensors, etc.

Project #2

Linear polyenes and their derivatives (e.g. the photobiologically significant carotenoids, retinoids, etc.) are ubiquitous in nature and play important structural and regulatory functions in a range of biological processes, including photosynthesis, vision, and energy production. In addition, some polyene macrolides are known to have antifungal properties, e.g. amphotericin, candicidin, nystatin, polyfungin, filipin, etc. Polyene lipids have shown promise as alternatives to established fluorescent labels. Conjugated p-electron systems also play vital roles in pericyclic reactions, in homodesmotic reactions for the thermodynamic evaluation of aromaticity and strain energies, in polymer science, and in nonlinear optics. When doped, longer polyenes act as electrical conductors. These organic conducting polymers have found a variety of applications in plastic electronic devices, including transistors and solar cells.

We employ computational methods to study the properties of linear polyenes and their derivatives.
