Rearrangement of the carbon skeleton in the intramolecular photoadduct of anthracene and benzene rings
2003
Abstract The effectivity of optical switching between anthracene derivatives 3a,b and their intramolecular photocycloadducts 4a,b is impaired by traces of acid. The systematic treatment of 4a,b with an increasing excess of formic acid revealed that—apart from the normal enolether cleavage 4a,b → 6a,b → 7a,b —a cleavage with rearrangement of the carbon skeleton can occur: 5b → 6b′ . The driving force is a stability enhancement of the involved carbenium ions 5b → 5b′ . A further increased excess of formic acid leads finally to a competitive ether cleavage in the tetrahydrofuran ring 5b → 8 .
New acridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate stacks induced in the presence of organotin(IV) complexes
2013
Abstract Three new crystalline architectures based on acridinium trifluoromethanesulfonate salts [C13H10N]+[CF3SO3]– have been isolated as single crystals from the reaction of the dimeric hydroxo di-n-butylstannane trifluoromethanesulfonato complex [n-Bu2Sn(OH)(H2O)(CF3SO3)]2 (1) with acridine (C13H9N, Acr), in dichloromethane at room temperature. When an equimolar mixture of anthracene (C14H10, Ant) and acridine is initially used, the crystallization of a sandwich-type arrangement occurs, leading to the intercalation of one molecule of anthracene between two acridium trifluoromethanesulfonate salt molecules. In the three X-ray structures reported, the crystal packing involves the contribut…
Organotin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonates chemistry: Isolation and characterization of a new di-n-butyl derivative presenting a Sn3O3 core
2012
Abstract Reaction of the dimeric hydroxo di-n-butylstannane trifluoromethanesulfonato complex [n-Bu2Sn(OH)(H2O)(CF3SO3)]2 (1) with a mixture of anthracene (C14H10, Ant) and phenazine (C12H8N2, Phz) in dichloromethane at room temperature yielded the novel di-n-butyltin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate salt {[n-Bu2Sn(H2O)]2O·n-Bu2Sn(OH)2}(CF3SO3)2 (2), together with the co-crystallization of phenazinium trifluoromethanesulfonate salts ([C12H9N2][CF3SO3], PhzH) collected in the solid state in two distinct self-assembled architectures, 3 and 4, showing π–π stacking interactions, and involving the intercalation of free molecules of phenazine and anthracene, respectively. Complex 2 is a cationic tri…
Understanding the ring current effects on magnetic shielding of hydrogen and carbon nuclei in naphthalene and anthracene
2008
The local response to an external magnetic field normal to the molecular plane of naphthalene and anthracene was investigated via current density and magnetic shielding density maps. The Biot-Savart law shows that the deshielding caused by pi-ring currents in naphthalene is stronger for alpha- than for beta-protons due to geometrical factors. The shielding tensor of the carbon nuclei in both molecules is strongly anisotropic and its out-of-plane component determines the up-field chemical shift of (13)C in nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The pi-ring currents flowing beyond the C-skeleton in front of a probe carbon nucleus, and on remote parts of the molecular perimeter, yield positive co…
Fluorescence of Newo-Carborane Compounds with Different Fluorophores: Can it be Tuned?
2014
Two sets of o-carborane derivatives incorporating fluorene and anthracene fragments as fluorophore groups have been successfully synthesized and characterized, and their photophysical properties studied. The first set, comprising fluorene-containing carboranes 6-9, was prepared by catalyzed hydrosilylation reactions of ethynylfluorene with appropriate carboranylsilanes. The compound 1-[(9,9-dioctyl-fluorene-2-yl)ethynyl]carborane (11) was synthesized by the reaction of 9,9-dioctyl-2-ethynylfluorene and decaborane (B10H14). Furthermore, reactions of the lithium salt of 11 with 1 equivalent of 4-(chloromethyl)styrene or 9-(chloromethyl)anthracene yielded compounds 12 and 13. Members of the se…
Fragmentation of anthracene C14H10, acridine C13H9N and phenazine C12H8N2 ions in collisions with atoms
2014
International audience; We report experimental total, absolute, fragmentation cross sections for anthracene C14H10, acridine C13H9N, and phenazine C12H8N2 ions colliding with He at center-of-mass energies close to 100 eV. In addition, we report results for the same ions colliding with Ne, Ar, and Xe at higher energies. The total fragmentation cross sections for these three ions are the same within error bars for a given target. The measured fragment mass distributions reveal significant contributions from both delayed (≫10−12 s) statistical fragmentation processes as well as non-statistical, prompt (∼10−15 s), single atom knockout processes. The latter dominate and are often followed by sec…
Ion-Pairing Effects in the Self-Assembly of a Fluorescent Pseudorotaxane
2006
Herein we report on the self-assembly, in a low polarity solvent, of a pseudorotaxane species comprising binaphthyl-26-crown-8 (BN26C8) as the macrocyclic host and anthracenyl-benzylammonium as the threadlike positively charged guest (ABH+). Absorption and luminescence data reveal a very efficient energy transfer process occurring from the binaphthyl to the anthracene singlet excited states. The self-assembly is highly dependent on the nature of the counteranion confirming the crucial role played by it in the competition between the self-assembly process and the formation of ion pairs (ABH+X-). This behavior can be readily evidenced in dilute solutions from the analysis of the luminescence …
Effect of molecular geometry and extended conjugation on the performance of hydrogen-bonded semiconductors in organic thin-film field-effect transist…
2021
A general synthetic method has been used for the condensation of the 7-azaindole substructure at both extremes of centrosymmetric fused polyheteroaromatic systems. Four different aromatic spacers (benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene) that modify the molecular geometry and the π-conjugated surface have proved the ability of 7-azaindole to work as a building block that can control the crystal packing through reciprocal hydrogen bond interactions. Two possible self-assembled columnar arrangements have been observed as a result of the π–π interactions between hydrogen-bonded ribbon-like supramolecular structures. A detailed comparative analysis of the molecular organisation driven by hy…
Inhibitoren der Korrosion (11). Nachweis der auf Eisengrenzflächen gebildeten Sekundärinhibitoren durch UV-Absorptions- und Fluoreszenzspektroskopie
1972
Aus Triphenylbenzylphosphoniumchlorid bildet sich in saurer Losung auf der Eisenoberflache eine Schicht, die aufgrund der UV-Reflexionsspektroskopie mit Triphenylphosphin identisch sein durfte. Auch das Mono- und Bis-Phosphoniumsalz wird an der Eisengrenzflache reduktiv abgebaut; die dabei entstehenden Anthracenderivate werden auf dieselbe Weise identifiziert. Es handelt sich um Methylanthracen. Die zur weiteren Aufgliederung der Reaktionsprodukte vorgenommene dunnschicht-chromatografische Auftrennung (Untersuchung des Extrakts in Cyclohexanol und Methanol) ergibt kein sich deutlich unterscheidenden Fluoreszenzspektren. Identification, by UV absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, of the …
Density functional theory studies of OH-modified open-ended single-wall zigzag carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)
2010
Abstract Functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are often formed as result of oxidation and cleaning of raw product grown on metal catalyst. Structure and energy of ideal and OH-modified single-wall nanotubes (SWCNTs) of different length (2.8, 7.0 and 13.5 A) were obtained at the DFT-B3LYP level. From one to nine OH groups were added at the end of the nanotube and a nonadditive dependence of attachment energy on the number of substituents was observed. The energetics of SWCNT end substitution with OH groups was supported by high level MP2 and CCSD(T) determination of reaction energy: R – H + 1 / 2 O 2 → R – OH + Δ E for methane, benzene and anthracene. In addition, a vibrational analysis of…
