Article Abstract
Induced conformational change provides a powerful mechanism to modulate the structure and function of molecules. Here we describe the synthesis of chiral, surface-functionalized oligomeric pyridine/imidazolidin-2-one foldamers, and interrogate their acid-mediated transition between linear and helical topologies.

Three diazafluorene derivatives triphenylamine (TPA)(PDAF) ( = 1, 2, 3) serving as small molecular elements are designed and synthesized via concentrated sulfuric acid mediated Friedel-Crafts reaction. With highly nonplanar topological configuration, TPA(PDAF) shows weaker intermolecular interaction in the solid states and thus exhibits single nanomolecular behavior, which is crucial for charge stored and retained in an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) memory device. Furthermore, diazafluorene derivatives possess a completely separate highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, which offers ideal hole and electron trapping sites.

A kinetic study has been made of the BF(3)-mediated ring opening of two rigid conformers (alpha and beta) of m- and p-dimethyl-substituted homobenzoquinone epoxides spiro-linked with a twist-boat dibenzocycloheptene ring as compared with the conformationally mobile epoxides bearing diphenyl groups. The rates of the regioselective ring opening were dependent on the topological alignment of the dibenzocycloheptene ring as well as the substitution pattern of the quinone dimethyl groups, indicating pi-aryl participated orbital interaction with the vacant Walsh orbital of the oxirane ring.

Physiological as well as fixation conditions were explored to assess the effects of a variety of factors known to influence the B-Z equilibrium. At neutral pH and physiological ionic strength, a weak immunofluorescence staining confined to the periphery of chromosomal bands is elicited but only by using high concentrations of anti-Z DNA immunoglobulin (IgG).
