Chloramphenicol molecule has an asymmetric carbon, so it has conformational isomer, namely, threo and erythro form. These two forms have great difference in biological activity, that is, only threo (-) form has biological activity. Semiempirical quantum mechanical treatments are applied to these molecules to explain the difference, using the extended Huckel theory. The theoretical predictions for the preferred conformation are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Molecular Orbital calculations using the SC-MEH method have been carried out for the interaction of Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine as DNA base and diaminecytosineplatinum(DCP) in various conformations. The results showed that the order of DCP binding to the DNA bases was guanine > adenine > cytosine and the stabilization energy of cis-isomer was larger than that of trans-isomer in the adenine-DCP complexes system. Furthermore, platinum(II) binding to DNA bases markedly gives rise to change of atomic charge in DNA bases ring, which can explain anti-tumor activity of platinum complex.

Composite ${\pi}$-structure analysis has been proposed for predicting relative isomer stabilities based on nonbonded effects: all the possible crowded ${\pi}$-structures are identified for each isomer, and the systems are represented by abbreviated notation of $(n{\pi}/m)$ : then using simple rules and additivity of the nonbonded effects, the order of stability can be determined. A number of examples are given in support of this analytical procedure.

Ab initio density functional calculations on the structural isomers, the hydration energies, and the hydrogen bond many-body interactions for gauche-, trans-protonated ethylenediamine-(water)3 complexes (g-enH+(H2O)3, t-enH+(H2O)3) have been performed. The structures and relative stabilities of three representative isomers (cyclic, tripod, open) between g-enH+(H2O)3 and t-enH+(H2O)3 are predicted to be quite different due to the strong interference between intramolecular hydrogen bonding and water hydrogen bond networks in g-enH+(H2O)3. Many-body analyses revealed that the combined repulsive relaxation energy and repulsive nonadditive interactions for the mono-cyclic tripod isomer, not the hydrogen bond cooperativity, are mainly responsible for the greater stability of the bi-cyclic isomer.

A novel optically active tetraamine ligand possessing four asymmetric centers, N,N'-bis(2(S)-aminopropyl)-1(R),2(R)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (SRRS-apchxn) and its cobalt(Ⅲ) complexes, [Co(SRRS-apchxn)X2]n+ (X=Cl-, H2O, X2=CO32-) have been synthesized. This ligand has coordinated stereospecifically to the cobalt(Ⅲ) ion to give only the Λ-uns-cis-(SS) isomer. A trans dichloro complex has been obtained via the stereospecific isomerization of Λ-uns-cis-(SS)-[Co(SRRS-apchxn)Cl2]+ to trans-(SS)-[Co(SRRS-apchxn) Cl2]+ in CH3OH-HCl medium. Ligand and complexes have been characterized by electronic absorption, 1H NMR, CD spectra, and also by elemental analysis. It is of interest that this is one of the few CoⅢ(N4)X2 type complex preparations, which produces such an uns-cis isomer with stereospecificity.

Tetracarbonylhydridoferrate, $HFe(CO)^-_4$, generated by the reaction of $Fe(CO)_5$ with alkaline solution, is a good reducing agent for mono-dehalogenation of gem-dihalocyclopropanes. It also acts as a good reducing catalyst under phase transfer reaction conditions. 1,1-Dibromo-2-phenylcyclopropane and 1,1-dichloro-2-phenylcyclopropane were reduced to the corresponding mono-dehalogenated products in excellent yields. Thermodynamically stable trans-l-bromo-2-phenyl cyclopropane was formed as the major product over the cis-isomer, trans/cis=3/2. The 1-bromo-2-phenyl cyclopropane radical intermediate was formed by single electron transfer from $HFe(CO)^-_4$. Dissociation of bromide anion, followed abstraction of hydrogen radical from alcoholic solvent would lead to the formation of the stable trans-isomer. The further mechanistic aspects were discussed.

1H NMR spectrum of a DMF-d7 solution containing 4-aminopyrimidine and [SiW11CoIIO39]6- (SiW11Co) shows separate peaks from two linkage isomers, a and b, in which N(1) and N(3) of the pyrimidine ring are coordinated to SiW11Co, respectively. The signal from the amine group in the isomer a exhibits temperature dependence that is characteristic of a two-site exchange problem. Rates of internal rotation of the amine group were determined by simulating the NMR spectra at 5-35℃. The amine group of free 4-aminopyrimidine also shows temperature-dependent spectra at lower temperatures; rates of internal rotation at (-25)-25℃ were determined. The internal rotation of the amine group in the complex is much slower than that for free 4-aminopyrimidine, indicating that π-character of the C-N bond increases on coordination to SiW11Co. The amine group in the isomer b does not show such behavior. It is probable that hydrogen bonding between N-H and a bridging oxygen atom of SiW11Co prevents it from rotating at low temperatures.

The 6, 6-dibromopenam 6 was treated with $CH_{3}/MgBr$ and carbaldehyde 5 to afford the 6-bromo-6-(1-hydroxy-1-methyl)penicillanate 7, which was reacted with acetic anhybride to give acetoxy compound 8. The deacetobromination of 8 with zinc and acetic acid gave 6-exomethylenpenams, Z-isomer 9 and E-isomer 10, which were oxidized to sulfones 11 and 12 by m-CPBA. The p-methoxybenzyl compounds were deprotected by $AlCl_{3}$ and neutralized to give the sodium salts 13, 14, and 15.

Platinum(II) complexes of R-2,2'-diaminobinaphthyl (R-dabn), [Pt(R-dabn)(H2O)2]Cl2, [Pt(R-dabn)(R-Pn)]Cl2, [Pt(R-dabn)(R-bn)]Cl2, and platinum(II) complexes of S-2,2'-diaminobinaphthyl (S-dabn), [Pt(S-dabn)(H2O)2]Cl2, [Pt(S-dabn)(S-Pn)]Cl2, and [(Pt(S-dabn)(S-bn)]Cl2 have been prepared. (R-Pn and S-Pn are, respectively R- and S isomer of 2,3-diaminobutane). R-Pn and S-bn are, respectively R and S isomer of 2,3-diaminopropane). In the vicinity of the B-absorption band region of dabn, the circular dichroism spectra of platinum(Ⅱ) complexes of R-dabn series show a positive B-band followed by a negative higher energy A-band, which is generally understood as the splitting pattern for a ${\lambda}$ conformation, while the circular dichroism spectra of platinum(Ⅱ) complexes of S-dabn series show a negative B-band followed by a positive higher energy A-band in the long-axis polarized absorption region as expected for a $\delta$ conformation.
