Melatonin charge transfer complex with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone: Molecular structure, DFT studies, thermal analyses, evaluation of biological activity and utility for determination of melatonin in pure and dosage forms

Synthesis, structural characterization, density functional theory calculations, and antimicrobial, anticancer, and antimetastatic properties of nanosized heteroleptic complexes of cocaine/TMEDA with d‐block metal ions

“…To investigate the electrophilic or nucleophilic sites of the complexes, the MESP maps [67,70] of COC and the Zn(II) complex as an example for the series (Figure 4) were calculated using the same level of theory used for the optimization. For COC, the negative potentials were observed over the O atoms (electronegative atoms), whereas the positive potential regions were localized on the phenyl and azabicyclo-octane rings and the attached H atoms (Figure 4a).…”

Complexation through the CT mechanism enables a long list of applications including studying binding mechanisms of pharmaceutical receptors, studying the pharmacodynamics and thermodynamics of molecules, and anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial studies [ [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] ]. Given the constant increase in the number and types of applications involvin...…”

Charge-transfer chemistry of azithromycin, the antibiotic used worldwide to treat the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Part II: Complexation with several π-acceptors (PA, CLA, CHL)

“…A great deal of research has been dedicated to CT interactions due to their wide range of applications in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, biochemistry, medicine, pharmacology, material science, and industrial technology [ [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Specifically, in the pharmacology and biochemistry fields, CT interactions contribute to the study of antimicrobial, antitumorigenic, and anti-inflammatory agents, binding mechanisms of pharmaceutical receptors, the thermodynamics and pharmacodynamics of clinical candidate compounds, DNA binding, enzymatic reactions, drug delivery, and quantitively characterizing pharmaceuticals [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] ]. In the fields of material engineering and technology, CT interactions facilitate the development and optimization of solar energy storage devices, organic solar cells, organic semiconductors, electrical conductors, biosensors, optoelectronics, non-linear optical materials, optical communication, photocatalysts, dendrimers, and several other magnetic, optical, and electrical technologies [ [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [53] , [54] , [55] , [56] , [57] , [58] , [59] ,…”
