ChemInform Abstract: Advances in Selective Conversions by Heterogeneous Photocatalysis

2010

Selective photocatalytic conversions are offering an alternative green route for replacing environmentally hazardous processes with safe and energy efficient routes. This paper reports the most recent advances in the application of heterogeneous photocatalysis to synthesize valuable compounds by selective oxidation and reduction.

Folding and dimerization of resorcarene tetrasulfonates

2001

In the solid state and in CDCl3 resorcarene tetramesitylsulfonates fold by intramolecular SO⋯H–O hydrogen bonds and dimerise via intermolecular O–H⋯OH hydrogen bonding.

Metal-free regioselective C–C bond cleavage in 1,3,5-triazine derivatives of β-diketones

2014

Metal-free regioselective activation of a carbon–carbon bond in 1,3,5-triazine derivatives of β-diketones is easily achieved, in the absence of a catalyst, with the assistance of intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Synthesis, characterization and X-ray crystal structures of cyclam derivatives. 7. Hydrogen-bond induced allosteric effects and protonation cooperati…

2005

The unprecedented cooperative protonation properties displayed by a barrel-shaped macrotricyclic tetraamine incorporating two 14-membered bisamide rings maintained in a face-to-face arrangement is rationalized in terms of allosteric effects upon binding of the first and third protons.

Timolol derivatives. I. X-ray, NMR and theoretical studies of the crystallization of (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-l-tartaric acid monoester

1993

Abstract The absolute configurations of (S)-timolol hemihydrate and (S)-timolol O,O-diacetyl-(R,R)-tartaric acid monoester were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. An NMR analysis based on the temperature dependence of vicinal coupling constants was carried out to characterize the conformational behaviour of the S,R,R- and R,R,R-forms in solution. The same conformation as in crystalline state was also found in solution, although with a rather low preference over some other conformations. Results of theoretical calculations using MNDO and AMBER force field methods are reported. An infinite chain of hydrogen bonds, along with other favourable inter- and intramolecular forces that …

A Halogen-Bonded Dimeric Resorcinarene Capsule.

2015

Iodine (I2) acts as a bifunctional halogen-bond donor connecting two macrocyclic molecules of the bowl-shaped halogen-bond acceptor, N-cyclohexyl ammonium resorcinarene chloride 1, to form the dimeric capsule [(1,4-dioxane)3@1(2)(I2)2]. The dimeric capsule is constructed solely through halogen bonds and has a single cavity (V=511 Å(3)) large enough to encapsulate three 1,4-dioxane guest molecules.

Deuterium isotope effect on the induction period of the cerium catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction

2009

Abstract In this work we present results about the deuterium isotopic effect on the global kinetics of a cerium catalyzed Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction. A nonlinear dependence of the induction period upon the percentage of deuterated reactants was found in batch conditions. In order to understand this result, we investigated two reaction pathways responsible for the length of the induction period, namely: (a) the reaction between the enolic form of the malonic acid with molecular bromine and (b) the oxidation of malonic acid by the Ce(IV) ion. In both cases we obtained a linear dependence of the kinetic constants on the percentage of deuterated reactants. Nevertheless, by inserting the expe…
