<P>Cross-conjugated molecules are an interesting class of conjugated systems possessing a spatially separated HOMO and LUMO. Most previous studies have taken advantage of this property by using it in organic semiconductor applications. Herein, we undertake a new investigation on the use of this type of molecule, in particular benzo[1,2-<I>d</I>;4,5-<I>d</I>′]bisoxazole (BBO), as a coupler for organic diradicals. BBO has two sites available for adding a substituent and a spin center (SC) which are along its 4,8- and 2,6-axes. Functionalizations using electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) groups were imposed to tune its FMOs and it was found that the longer 2,6-axis is an ideal site with a broader LUMO range <I>via</I> substituent effects. Diradicalization of these BBOs using nitronyl nitroxide (NN) and nitroxide (NO) as SCs was done using the remaining available axis. The calculated <I>J</I> values are linearly dependent on the LUMO energy of the coupler, but with 4,8-NH2-2,6-SC as an outlier. This exceptional case is related to 4,8-NH2-2,6-SC having the lowest BBO-NN dihedral angle. Moreover, the diradicals 4,8-X-2,6-SC (with X = H, NH2, CH3) have higher <I>J</I> values than 2,6-X-4,8-SC (with X = H, NH2, CH3), which is counterintuitive because the latter have a shorter coupling path. These diradicals are positioned to the right of the intersection of their trend lines, which implies that diradicals with LUMO values to the right of this intersection have the tendency to attain <I>J</I> values that are higher than those diradicals with a shorter coupling path. 4,8-NH2-2,6-SC even surpasses the projected <I>J</I>Max values which we associate with the highest attainable <I>J</I> values due to LUMO tuning <I>via</I> substituent effects. These results provide useful insights, especially into the interplay between the LUMO and the dihedral angle and how these affect magnetism in diradicals. In conclusion, we found that BBO can be a good candidate as an effective coupler for diradicals with tunable <I>J</I> values <I>via</I> incorporation of ED and EW groups. This first approach to studying the application of cross-conjugated molecules as couplers also paves the way for new candidates for the development of more effective diradical systems.</P>
Insight into the histidine tautomerism effect on heterodimers of Aβ40

The intrinsic origin of amyloid aggregation has been pursued as a new pathogenesis for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The aggregation mechanisms influenced by histidine tautomerism were previously investigated in Aβ40 and Aβ42 monomers. In the present study, we focus on the structural properties of Aβ40 heterodimer under the influence of histidine. The results of molecular dynamics simulation detected different aggregation trends were detected in different heterodimers formed by the εεε isomer and other isomers. In the (εεε:δδδ) dimer, the highest β-sheet content was obtained in the δδδ chain, which is in agreement with our previous studies that δδδ monomer is the most easily formed β-sheet secondary structure in the monomer. Further analysis confirmed that (εεε:δδδ) dimers more easily aggregate into fibrils in comparison with other heterodimers. This research will help in understanding the tautomeric effect on Aβ heterodimers, thereby helping to figure out the pathogenesis of AD.
