Trityl radicals in perfluorocarbon emulsions as stable, sensitive, and biocompatible oximetry probes
摘要:
EPR oximetry with the use of trityl radicals can enable sensitive O-2 measurement in biological cells and tissues. However, in vitro cellular and in vivo biological applications are limited by rapid trityl probe degradation or biological clearance and the need to enhance probe O-2 sensitivity. We synthesized novel perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions, similar to 200 nm droplet size, containing esterified perchlorinated triphenyl methyl (PTM) radicals dispersed in physiological aqueous buffers. These formulations exhibit excellent EPR signal stability, over 20-fold greater than free PTM probes, with high oxygen sensitivity similar to 17 mG/mmHg enabling pO(2) measurement in aqueous solutions or cell suspensions with sensitivity > 0.5 mmHg. Thus, PFC-PTM probes hold great promise to enable combined O-2 delivery and sensing as needed to restore or enhance tissue oxygenation in disease. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

superoxide radical anion showed quenching of EPR signal and enhancement of fluorescence emission spectrum. This work presents the first example of a perchlorotrityl-fluorophore conjugate that can potentially be employed as a dual probe for the detection of superoxide under oxidative stress-mediated conditions in biological systems.
A simple, direct, high-yield Friedel-Crafts synthesis of highly chlorinated, overcrowded αH-aryl, αH-diaryl, and αH-triarylmethanes is described. The latter compounds are most valuable chemical precursors of inert free radicals, which are frequently obtained through otherwise cumbersome, medium-to-low-yield aromatic chlorination of triphenylmethane derivatives. The condensation is performed with aluminium chloride at temperatures ranging from 70 to 160°C. The substrate is a benzene with all its hydrogens flanked by two ortho chlorines. The alkylating component is chloroform, αH-heptachlorotoluene (2a) or αH-undecachlorodiphenylmethane (3a). For comparison, the condensation with a few non-sterically-hindered substrates has also been performed.
for quantum information processing. However, reports on the spin relaxation mechanisms of organic conjugated molecules are rare and the research methods are also limited. Herein, we study the molecular design and spin relaxation mechanisms by systematically varying the structure of a conjugatedradical. We found that solid‐state relaxation times of organic materials are largely different from that in

hyl (PTM) radical trisaldehyde with tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine (TREN) yields a [4+4] tetrahedral radicalcage as a racemic pair of homochiral enantiomers in 75 % isolated yield. The structure was characterized by X‐ray crystallography, confirming the homochirality of each cage framework. The homochirality results from intramolecular [CH⋅⋅⋅π] and hydrogen‐bonding interactions within the cage framework

Red luminescence is found in off‐white tris(iodoperchlorophenyl)methane (3I‐PTMH) crystals which is characterized by a high photoluminescence quantumyield (PLQY 91 %) and color purity (CIE coordinates 0.66, 0.34). The emission originates from the doublet excited state of the neutral radical 3I‐PTMR, which is spontaneously formed and becomes embedded in the 3I‐PTMH matrix. The radical defect can also
