Alkyl and Aryl Substituted Corroles. 1. Synthesis and Characterization of Free Base and Cobalt Containing Derivatives. X-ray Structure of (Me4Ph5Cor)…
2001
The synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and electrochemistry of six different alkyl- and aryl-substituted Co(III) corroles are presented. The investigated compounds contain methyl, ethyl, phenyl, or substituted phenyl groups at the eight β-positions of the corrole macrocycle and four derivatives also contain a phenyl group at the 10-meso position of the macrocycle. Each cobalt corrole undergoes four reversible oxidations in CH2Cl2 containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate and exists as a dimer in its singly and doubly oxidized forms. The difference in potential between the first two oxidations is associated with the degree of interaction between the two corrole units of the dimer …
Structure of 5,17-dimethyl-11,23-dioctylcalix[4]arene
1991
The title compound C46O4H60 crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P¯1, witha=11.584(2),b=16.261(2),c=11.172(1) A,α=103.15(8),β=95.68(1),γ=96.85(1)°. The structure was solved by direct methods, and refined by weighted full-matrix least squares toR=0.097. This is the second calix[4]arene with two different alkyl substituents atpara positions of the phenolic rings. The macrocycle adopts the cone conformation. Interactions CH3-π are established between two calixarenes related by a center of symmetry. Comparisons are made between the conformation of this molecule and that of symmetrically substituted calix[4]arenes.
Star-Shaped Compounds Having 1,3,5-Triazine Cores
2003
The 1,3,5-triazine derivatives 1−4 having styryl or higher oligo(phenylenevinylene) chains in the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions represent star-shaped push-pull compounds. Alkoxy or dimethylamino groups on the peripheral benzene rings, which act as electron donors, and the central 1,3,5-triazine ring, which acts as an electron acceptor, cause intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) to occur in the absorption S0⇄S1. Protonation of the 1,3,5-triazine core enhances the effect, as demonstrated by a bathochromic shift; a secondary protonation on the dimethylamino groups, however, leads to the breakdown of the ICT. Thus, the yellow compound 1d first becomes violet and then colorless upon the addition of tr…
Remarkably Robust Group 4 Metal Half-Sandwich Complexes Containing Two Higher Alkyl Ligands: X-ray Structure and Reactivity of the Di-n-butyl Comple…
1997
The reaction of LiR with M(η5:η1:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2OMe)Cl2 (1, M = Zr (a), Hf (b)) gives the isolable, thermally stable complexes M(η5:η1:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2OMe)R2 (R = Et (2), nPr (3), nBu(4)), which contain two alkyl ligands with β-hydrogen atoms.
Anionic Monosubstituted Cyclopentadienylsamarium Derivatives: Catalysts for a Stereospecific Isoprene Polymerization
1998
New alkyl and allyl complexes 1–3 {1: [Cp′2Sm(C3H5)]n, Cp′ = Me3CC5H4; 2: [Me4C2(C5H4)2]Sm(C3H5)2Li(dme),dme = (CH3OCH2CH2OCH3); 3: Cp′2SmMe2Li(dioxane)} were synthesized from (Cp′2SmCl)2and from the magnesium derivative [Me4C2(C5H4)2]SmCl · MgCl2(THF)4 (4). The ansa anionic complex 2 exhibited good activity for the stereospecific 1,4-trans polymerization of isoprene, whereas the neutral derivative 1 was inactive. In the same way, the anionic complex [Cp′2SmMe2]Li(dioxane) (3) was found to be an ethylene polymerization catalyst of very short lifetime. The lack of reactivity of 1 is related to the associated structure of this coordinatively unsaturated complex: this fact was established by t…
Mannich Reactions with Amino Alcohols
2000
The condensation of resorcarenes 1 with various amino alcohols and an excess of formaldehyde was studied. The tetrabenzoxazines 2a−e were found as the only products in the reaction with 6-aminohexan-1-ol, 4-aminobutan-1-ol, and 2-aminoethanol, while 3-aminopropan-1-ol forms the tetraoxazine 3 as the main product. In the case of aminoethanols substituted at the 2-position with alkyl groups, the tetraoxazolidines 4 are the preferred reaction products, while 1-methyl aminoethanol (1-amino-propan-2-ol) yields predominantly the tetrabenzoxazine 2f. The structures of all these compounds have been confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and additionally by single-crystal X-ray analysis in the case of 2a and…
Internal rotation of 1,2-dichloroethane in haloalkane dehalogenase. A test case for analyzing electrostatic effects in enzymes
2003
1,2-Dichoroethane (DCE) is a prototypical molecule for studying electrostatic solvent effects on molecular conformation as far as rotation around the carbon−carbon bond notably changes the electric...

The two-electron oxidation of [(tmeda)NaN(PiPr2E)2] with iodine produces the cyclic [N(PiPr2E)2]+ (E = Se, Te) cations, which exhibit long E–E bonds in the iodide salts. peerReviewed
Computational Analysis of n→π* Back-Bonding in Metallylene–Isocyanide Complexes R2MCNR′ (M = Si, Ge, Sn; R = tBu, Ph; R′ = Me, tBu, Ph)
2013
A detailed computational investigation of orbital interactions in metal–carbon bonds of metallylene–isocyanide adducts of the type R2MCNR′ (M = Si, Ge, Sn; R, R′ = alkyl, aryl) was performed using density functional theory and different methods based on energy decomposition analysis. Similar analyses have not been carried out before for metal complexes of isocyanides, even though the related carbonyl complexes have been under intense investigations throughout the years. The results of our work reveal that the relative importance of π-type back-bonding interactions in these systems increases in the sequence Sn < Ge ≪ Si, and in contrast to some earlier assumptions, the π-component cannot be …
Substituent effects on axle binding in amide pseudorotaxanes: comparison of NMR titration and ITC data with DFT calculations
2012
The binding behaviour of differently substituted diamide axle molecules to Hunter/Vögtle tetralactam macrocycles was studied with a combination of NMR titration, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments and calculations employing density functional theory (DFT), along with dispersion-corrected exchange-correlation functionals. Guests with alkyl or alkenyl chains attached to the diamide carbonyl groups have a significantly higher binding affinity to the macrocycle than guests with benzoyl amides and their substituted analogues. While the binding of the benzoyl and alkenyl substituted axles is enthalpically driven, the alkyl-substituted guest binds mainly because of a positive bindi…
