Cycloaddition of Strained Cyclic Alkenes and Ortho-Quinones : A Distortion/Interaction Analysis
2020
The chemistry of strained unsaturated cyclic compounds has experienced remarkable growth in recent years via the development of metal–free click reactions. Among these reactions, the cycloaddition of cyclopropenes and their analogues to ortho-quinones has been established as a highly promising click reaction. The present work investigates the mechanism involved in the cycloaddition of strained dienes to ortho-quinones and structural factors that would influence this reaction. For this purpose, we use B97D density functional theory calculations throughout, and for relevant cases, we use spin component–scaled MP2 calculations and single–point domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cl…
Electron-Sponge Behavior, Reactivity and Electronic Structures of Cobalt-Centered Cubic Co9Te6(CO)8 Clusters
2008
Extended investigations of the reaction sequence [Cp′2Nb(Te2)H]/CH3Li/[Co2(CO)8] (Cp′ = tBuC5H4) led to the identification of Lin[3] {3 = [Co9Te6(CO)8]; n = 1, 2} salts through their transformation with [PPN]Cl into [PPN]n[3] (PPN = Ph3PNPPh3). These compounds form in the solid state columnar ([PPN][3]) or undulated 2D ([PPN]2[3]) supramolecular networks. Electrochemical studies of [Cp*2Nb(CO)2][3] (Cp* = C5Me5) or [Na(THF)6][3] revealed the presence of the redox couples [3]–/[3]2–/[3]3–/[3]4–/[3]5– regardless of the nature of the cation, whereas in the anodic part oxidative degradation of the cluster takes place. This behavior is in agreement with the observation that [3]– containing salts…
From self-inclusion and host-guest complexes to channel structures
2012
Various supramolecular interactions are applied as driving forces in self-assembly and molecular recognition processes. Single crystal X-ray diffraction method is especially important for solid-state studies of non-covalent interactions as it reveals their influence on the molecular and supramolecular structures. This paper discusses structures of two completely different types of compounds in which a variety of intermolecular interactions are involved. It will be shown that strong and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds in N-alkylammonium resorcinarene salts, depending on the type of anion, inclusion of resorcinarene upper rim pendant group or solvent molecules into the cavity, strongly aff…
Combining Cyanometalates and Coordination Clusters: An Alternative Synthetic Route toward Original Molecular Materials
2013
International audience; With the discovery of molecules or molecule-based compounds that can display blocked magnetization, magnetic ordering or switchable magnetic bistability, the research efforts devoted to molecular magnetic materials have considerably increased over the past two decades, fully exploiting the advantages of the bottom-up approach. 1-4 This research field focuses on promising properties for potential technological applications such as information storage, quantum computing and spintronics at the molecular scale, but it also provides fundamental insights into original quantum phenomena. 5,6 Coordination chemists have developed efficient synthetic tools for the preparation …
Synthesis, molecular structures and EPR spectra of the paramagnetic cuboidal clusters with Mo3S4Ga cores
2017
Electron precise [Mo3(l3-S)(l-S)3(diphos)3Br3]Br (diphos = dppe, dmpe) incomplete cuboidal clusters with six cluster skeletal electrons (CSE) were converted into paramagnetic cuboidal [Mo3(GaBr)(l3-S)4- (diphos)3Br3] clusters by treatment with elemental Ga. The new heterobimetallic complexes with nine CSE possess a doublet ground state with the unpaired electron density delocalized over the three molybdenum atoms.
Electron Accumulative Molecules.
2018
With the goal to produce molecules with high electron accepting capacity and low reorganization energy upon gaining one or more electrons, a synthesis procedure leading to the formation of a B–N(aromatic) bond in a cluster has been developed. The research was focused on the development of a molecular structure able to accept and release a specific number of electrons without decomposing or change in its structural arrangement. The synthetic procedure consists of a parallel decomposition reaction to generate a reactive electrophile and a synthesis reaction to generate the B–N(aromatic) bond. This procedure has paved the way to produce the metallacarboranylviologen [M(C2B9H11)(C2B9H10)-NC5H4-…
A Generalized Semiempirical Approach to the Modeling of the Optical Band Gap of Ternary Al-(Ga, Nb, Ta, W) Oxides Containing Different Alumina Polymo…
2021
A generalization of the modeling equation of optical band gap values for ternary oxides, as a function of cationic ratio composition, is carried out based on the semiempirical correlation between the differences in the electronegativity of oxygen and the average cationic electronegativity proposed some years ago. In this work, a novel approach is suggested to account for the differences in the band gap values of the different polymorphs of binary oxides as well as for ternary oxides existing in different crystalline structures. A preliminary test on the validity of the proposed modeling equations has been carried out by using the numerous experimental data pertaining to alumina and gallia p…
A family of heterotetrameric clusters of chloride species and halomethanes held by two halogen and two hydrogen bonds
2016
Two previously reported 1,3,5,7,9-pentaazanona-1,3,6,8-tetraenate (PANT) chloride platinum(II) complexes [PtCl{HNC(R)NCN[C(Ph)C(Ph)]CNC(R)NH}] (R = tBu 1, Ph 2) form solvates with halomethanes 1·1¼CH2Cl2, 1·1⅖CH2Br2, and 2·CHCl3. All these species feature novel complex-solvent heterotetrameric clusters, where the structural units are linked simultaneously by two C–X⋯Cl–Pt (X = Cl, Br) halogen and two C–H⋯Cl–Pt hydrogen bonds. The geometric parameters of these weak interactions were determined using single-crystal XRD, and the natures of the XBs and HBs in the clusters were studied for the isolated model systems (1)2·(CH2Cl2)2, (1)2·(CH2Br2)2, and (2)2·(CHCl3)2 using DFT calculations and Bad…

The title compound, which crystallized as a methanol and water solvate, C24H41NO5·CH4O·H2O, was obtained by heterologous expression of the brasilicardin gene cluster in the bacterium Amycolatopsis japonicum. In the crystal, the components are linked by numerous hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.

2017
The linkage of PO43- and HAsO42--anions with a newly synthesized five-coordinate dinuclear zinc complex, Zn-2(cpdp)(H2O)(2)]Cl (1) H(3)cpdp =N,N'-bis2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N,N'-bis2-pyridylmethyl]-1,3diamino propan-2-ol], has been explored. In methanol-water, the reaction of 1 with Na2HPO4 center dot 2H(2)O and Na2HAsO4 center dot 7H(2)O/NaBr separately, at ambient temperature, yielded the novel phosphate-bridged decanuclear zinc cluster, (H3O)(4)Zn-10(cPdP)(4)(mu(5)-PO4)(2)(H2O)(6)](6 center dot Cl)center dot 53H(2)O (2) and hydrogen arsenate bridged tetranuclear zinc cluster, Na-2Zn-4(cpdp)(2)(mu(4)-HAsO4)]ClBr center dot 13H(2)O (3), respectively. Analysis of the single crystal X-ray stru…
