Spin Crossover and Long-Lived Excited States in a Reduced Molecular Ruby.
2020
Abstract The chromium(III) complex [CrIII(ddpd)2]3+ (molecular ruby; ddpd=N,N′‐dimethyl‐N,N′‐dipyridine‐2‐yl‐pyridine‐2,6‐diamine) is reduced to the genuine chromium(II) complex [CrII(ddpd)2]2+ with d4 electron configuration. This reduced molecular ruby represents one of the very few chromium(II) complexes showing spin crossover (SCO). The reversible SCO is gradual with T 1/2 around room temperature. The low‐spin and high‐spin chromium(II) isomers exhibit distinct spectroscopic and structural properties (UV/Vis/NIR, IR, EPR spectroscopies, single‐crystal XRD). Excitation of [CrII(ddpd)2]2+ with UV light at 20 and 290 K generates electronically excited states with microsecond lifetimes. This…
Compared Binding Properties between Resveratrol and Other Polyphenols to Plasmatic Albumin: Consequences for the Health Protecting Effect of Dietary …
2014
International audience; Phytophenols are considered to have beneficial effects towards human physiology. They are food microcomponents with potent chemopreventive properties towards the most three frequent contemporary human diseases, e.g., cardiovascular alterations, cancer and neurodegenerative pathologies. Related to this, the plasmatic form and plasmatic level of plant polyphenols in the body circulation are crucial for their efficiency. Thus, determinations of the binding process of resveratrol and of common flavonoids produced by major edible plants, berries and fruits to plasma proteins are essential. The interactions between resveratrol and albumin, a major plasma protein, were comp…
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of [N(CH3)4][2,2′-Fe(1,7-closo-C2B9H11)2]
2017
Abstract This work investigates the meta -ferrabis(dicarbollide) anion that was isolated as salt of tetramethylammonium. The structure of the obtained crystal consisted of discrete [2,2′-Fe(1,7- closo -C 2 B 9 H 11 ) 2 ] − anions and disordered [N(CH 3 ) 4 ] + cations. The anion had a considerable chemical stability ensured by ionic and Van der Waals interactions. Thus, Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plot were used to visualize, explore, and quantify intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattice of the title compound. This investigation proved that close contacts were dominated by H⋯H interactions.
Rola efektu podstawnikowego w sprzężeniu π-elektronowym w N-podstawionym karbazolu
2019
Modyfikacja właściwości optoelektronowych materiałów organicznych w wielu przypadkach sprowadza się do wywołania zmian w ich strukturze elektronowej, a w szczególności w π-elektronowej delokalizacji w obrębie całej molekuły. Dużą uwagę zajmują w tych badaniach układy skondensowane zawierające pierścienie aromatyczne, niearomatyczne oraz hetero atomy. Do układów tych można zaliczyć, między innymi, karbazol i jego pochodne, który znajduje zastosowanie w organicznych materiałach optycznych i elektronowych. W niniejszej publikacji zaprezentowano wyniki z przeprowadzonych badań nad wpływem podstawienia pierścienia fulwenowego na atomie azotu oraz podstawników o zróżnicowanym charakterze elektron…

2016
AbstractIn the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Centaurea grinensis Reuter (K) collected at Žuta Lova, near Senj (Croatia), and aerial parts (L1) and flowers (L2) of C. apiculata Ledeb. collected near Rebro village, near Breznik town, Znepole Region (Bulgaria), both belonging to subgenus Lopholoma (Cass.) Dobrocz, was evaluated by GC and GC-MS. The main components of K were 4-vinyl guaiacol (21.5%), hexadecanoic acid (16.2%), acetophenone (12.5%). Caryophyllene oxide (15.8%) together with sphathulenol (14.5%) and humulene epoxide II (9.4%) were recognized as the main constituent of both the aerial part (L1) and flowers (L2) of C. apiculata. …
Classical and reverse substituent effects in meta- and para-substituted nitrobenzene derivatives
2017
Electron-accepting properties of the nitro group were studied in a series of meta- and para-X-substituted nitrobenzene derivatives (X = NMe2, NH2, OH, OMe, CH3, H, F, Cl, CF3, CN, CHO, COMe, CONH2, COOH, COCl, NO2, NO). For this purpose Hammett-like approaches were applied based on quantum chemistry modeling; the B3LYP/6-311++ G(d,p) method was used. The substituent effect (SE) was characterized by the mutually interrelated descriptors: the charge of the substituent active region, cSAR(X), and substituent effect stabilization energy, SESE, as well as substituent constants, σ. Classical SE is realized by dependences of the structural parameters of the nitro group (ONO angle and NO bond lengt…
Substituent effects on the mechanism changeover in a multipathway reaction: A model for the behavior of biological systems?
2009
By studying the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of (Z)-arylhydrazones of 5-amino-3- benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole (1a-k) into the relevant (2-aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas (2a-k) in a wide range of pS + (an operational scale of proton concentration in the mixed solvent used; dioxane/water, 1:1, v:v), the occurrence of three different reaction pathways (specific-acid- catalyzed, uncatalyzed, and general-base-catalyzed) for the relevant SNi process has been recently enlightened. The significantly different substituent effects on the three pathways cause some crossovers in the log kA,R versus pS + plots. Both the pS + value at which the crossover occurs and the width of the u…
1,2,6-Thiadiazine 1-Oxides: Unsaturated Three-Dimensional S,N-Heterocycles from Sulfonimidamides.
2020
Unprecedented three-dimensional 1,2,6-thiadiazine 1-oxides have been prepared by an aza-Michael-addition/cyclization/condensation reaction sequence starting from sulfonimidamides and propargyl ketones. The products have been further functionalized by standard cross-coupling reactions, selective bromination of the heterocyclic ring, and conversion into a β-hydroxy substituted derivative. A representative product was characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. peerReviewed
Electronic shell structures in bare and protected metal nanoclusters
2016
This short review discusses the concept of the electronic shell structure in the context of metal nanoclusters. Electronic shell structure is a natural consequence of quantization of fermionic states in a quantum confinement, where the symmetry of the confining potential creates energetically close-lying sets of states that reflect the symmetry of the potential. It was introduced in cluster physics in early 1980s and initially influenced greatly by the related model of nuclear shell structure from 1950’s. Three application areas are discussed consisting of free gas phase clusters, clusters supported by insulating oxides or oxide thin films, and clusters that are synthesized by wet chemistry…
Structural Motifs of Alkali Metal Superbases in Non‐coordinating Solvents
2020
Abstract Lochmann–Schlosser superbases (LSB) are a standard reagent in synthetic chemistry to achieve an exchange of a proton on an organic framework with an alkali metal cation, which in turn can be replaced by a wide range of electrophilic groups. In standard examples, the deprotonating reagent consists of an equimolar mixture of n‐butyllithium and potassium t‐butoxide. However, the nature of the reactive species could not be pinned down either for this composition or for similar mixtures with comparable high reactivity. Despite the poor solubility and the fierce reactivity, some insights into this mixture were achieved by some indirect results, comparison with chemically related systems,…
