Abstract
This work is devoted to the effect of pressure on the structure of lamivudine by using Raman and infrared spectroscopy in diamond anvil cells. The results showed a transition from tetragonal crystal Form Ⅱ to an unknown Form Ⅲ' at approximately 1.26 GPa, followed by a transition from Form Ⅲ' to Form Ⅳ' at pressure of 7.23 GPa. The phase transitions were marked by unique profiles and pressure-dependent characteristic modes. Pressure-induced changes in structural symmetry led to conformational transition in lamivudine. Furthermore, there was a considerable conformational variation between A and D in lamivudine molecule to maintain structural balance. Spectroscopic measurements indicated that these pressure-induced changes were reversible below approximately 0.1 GPa.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
