Luminescent P-Chirogenic Copper Clusters
P-chirogenic clusters of the cubanes [Cu4I4L4] (L = chiral phosphine) were prepared from (+)- and (-)-ephedrine with L = (S)- or (R)-(R)(Ph)(i-Pr)P (with R = CH3 (seven steps) or C17H35 (10 steps)) with e.e. up to 96%. The X-ray structure of [Cu4I4((R)-(CH3)(Ph)(i-Pr)P)4] confirmed the cubane structure with average Cu···Cu and Cu···I distances of 2.954 and 2.696 Å, respectively. The cubane structure of the corresponding [Cu4I4((S)-(CH3)(Ph)(i-Pr)P)4] was established by the comparison of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns, and the opposite optical activity of the (S)- and (R)-ligand-containing clusters was confirmed by circular dichroism spectroscopy. Small-angle X-ray scattering patterns…
Enantioselective Hydrogenation Catalysis Aided by a σ-Bonded Calix[4]arene to a P-Chirogenic Aminophosphane Phosphinite Rhodium Complex
The first P-chirogenic aminophosphane−phosphinite (AMP*P) ligand (4a) supported on the upper rim of a calix[4]arene moiety was synthesized in two steps using the ephedrine methodology. Ligand 4a wa...
The First P ‐Stereogenic 1D Coordination Polymers with the Metal Centers in the Backbone
The enantiomeric ligands (R,R)- and (S,S)-bis(o-anisylphenylphosphanyl)methane (R,R-22 and S,S-22) and (R,R)- and (S,S)-bis(phenyl-m-xylylphosphanyl)methane (R,R-23 and S,S-23; dppm*), were treated with [Cu(NCCH3)4](BF4) and AgBF4 to produce the binuclear complexes [Cu2(dppm*)2(NCCH3)4](BF4)2 or [Ag2(dppm*)2](BF4)2, respectively. Then, these complexes were used as building blocks to prepare the first P-chirogenic 1D coordination polymers {[M2(dppm*)2(dmb)2](BF4)2}n [dppm* = (R,R)-22, (S,S)-22, (R,R)-23, (S,S)-23, M = Cu, Ag, dmb = 1,8-diisocyano-p-menthane] where M is part of the backbone of the polymer chain. The isostructural nature of these new polymers with the achiral parent polymers, …
Organometallic Oligomers Based on Bis(arylacetylide)bis(P-chirogenic phosphine)platinum(II) Complexes: Synthesis and Photonic Properties
A series of P-chirogenic oligomers of the type (-C≡C-aryl-C≡C-PtL2-)n [L = (R)- and (S)-P(Ph)(iPr)(C17H35); aryl = 1,4-benzene, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole] along the corresponding achiral analogues (L = PBu3) and model complexes PhC≡CPtL2C≡CPh were prepared from the ephedrine strategy and were fully characterized [(1)H, (31)P NMR; IR; small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS); gel permeation chromatography (GPC); thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA); circular dichroism, UV-vis, and luminescence spectroscopy; photophysics, and degree of anisotropy measurements]. From the CD measurements, the chiral environment of the phosphine ligands is modestly felt by the aryl moieties. Concurrently, the TGA shows th…
