Coordinating behaviour of 3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (tzpy): crystal and molecular structure and electronic properties of [Cu(tzpy)2(ONO2…
1999
Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] (tzpy=3-methyl[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5- a ]pyridine) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal structure is built up of discrete [Cu(tzpy) 2 (ONO 2 ) 2 (OH 2 )] entities linked through hydrogen bonds. The coordination geometry around the copper atom can be described as an elongated and strongly distorted octahedron displaying a 4+1+1* coordination mode (CuN 2 O 2 O′O″ chromophore), with one of the nitrato groups acting as bidentate and involved in a weak off-the- z -axis coordination. Spectroscopic properties are interpreted on the basis of the above stereochemistry.
Unconventional Fluorescence Quenching in Naphthalimide-Capped CdSe/ZnS Nanoparticles
2013
Core–shell (CS) CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QD) capped with ligands that possess a mercapto or an amino group and a naphthalimide (NI) as chromophore unit, linked by a short ethylene chain (CS@S–NI and CS@H2N–NI, respectively), have been synthesized and fully characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and voltammetry as well as by steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopies. The organic ligands HS–NI and H2N–NI act as bidentate ligands, thereby causing a drastic decrease in the QD emission. This was particularly evident in the case of CS@S–NI. This behavior has been compared with that of commercially availabl…
Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Properties of [Cu(L1)2(py)2(H2O)](H2O) [HL1 = N-(5-ethyl-[1,3,4]–thiadiazole-2-yl)-toluenesulfonamidate] and [Cu(L2…
2007
A series of new N-sulfonamidate ligands and their cooper(II) complexes, [Cu(N-(5-ethyl-[1,3,4]-thiadiazole-2-yl)-toluenesulfonamidate)2(py)2(H2O)](H2O) (1) and [Cu(N-(5-ethyl-[1,3,4]-thiadiazole-2-yl)-benzenesulfonamidate)2(py)2(H2O)] (2) have been synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of the complexes 1 and 2 have been determined. In the both two complexes, the Cu2+ ion is five-coordinated, forming a CuN4O chromophore. The ligands act as monodentate, coordinating the metal ion through a single Nthiadiazole atom. The molecules from the reaction medium (pyridine and water) also participate to the coordination of Cu2+ ion as monodentate ligands. Both two complexes have a…
Two Polymeric Compounds Built from Mononuclear and Tetrameric Squarate−Copper(II) Complexes by Deprotonation of 3,3-Bis(2-imidazolyl)propionic Acid (…
2001
Two polynuclear copper(II)−squarate compounds of formulas [Cu(HBIP)(BIP)](C4O4)1/2·2H2O (1) and [{Cu(BIP)(OH2)}4(μ-C4O4)](ClO4)2·4H2O (2) (HBIP = 3,3-bis(2-imidazolyl)propionic acid) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P1, with a =7.947(1) A, b =12.327(4) A, c = 13.150(3) A, α = 113.91(2)°, β = 99.85(2)°, γ = 90.02(2)° for compound 1 and a = 8.010(1) A, b = 13.073(1) A, c = 14.561(1) A, α = 72.13(1)°, β = 80.14(1)°, γ = 84.02(1)° for compound 2. The structure of compound 1 can be viewed as made up of [Cu(HBIP)(BIP)] units linked together by the BIP carboxylate groups to form a one-dimens…
Influence of tetrahedral distortion of CuN4 complexes on spectroscopic properties. Synthesis, characterization and crystal structures of [Cu(N-(2-met…
2001
Abstract A series of new N-sulfonamide ligands and their copper(II) complexes, [Cu(N-(2-methylpyridyl)toluenesulfonylamidate)2] (1), [Cu(N-(2-methylpyridyl)benzenesulfonylamidate)2] (2) and [Cu(N-(2-methylpyridyl)naphthalenesulfonylamidate)2] (3), have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X-ray analysis of the three complexes revealed that all of them present a tetracoordinate CuN4 chromophore. The ligands act as bidentate, coordinating the metal ion through the pyridine and sulfonamido N atoms. The main structural difference among the compounds is the varied degree of distortion of square-planar stereochemistry. Complex 1 exhibits a regular square-planar geometry. In complexe…
Resolution of overlapped non-absorbing and absorbing solutes using either an absorption null-balance detection window or multivariate deconvolution a…
2004
Abstract Non-absorbing alkyl ether sulfates (AES) can be separated using anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid (AQCA) as a probe; however, absorbing alkyl benzene sulfonates (ABS), if present, interfere indirect detection of most AES oligomers. Overcoming of this interference, as well as the simultaneous characterisation and evaluation of AES, fatty acids and ABS, was accomplished by using a diode-array detector and the procedures here discussed. First, it was shown that ABS can be made undetectable by using a 9 nm wide and 227 nm centred charge-absorptivity null-balance detection window (NBDW), where its contribution to the absorbance cancels the dilution effects that its presence induces on the…
Rational synthetic design of well-defined Pt(bisethynyl)/Zn(porphyrin) oligomers for potential applications in photonics
2011
Well-defined oligomers of 1, 2, 3 and 4 units built upon the very soluble bis-1,15-(1,4-ethynylbenzene)-3,7,13,17-tetramethyl-2,8,12,18-tetrakis(n-hexyl) zinc(II) porphyrin ligand and the trans-bis(tri-n-butylphosphine)platinum(II) linker, with acetylene or trimethylsilane as end groups, has been prepared in the presence of a dichloromethane/diethylamine mixture (1 : 1 v/v) and CuX (X = Cl, I) at room temperature, analogue to a Sonogashira coupling. The new monodisperse organometallic oligomers were characterized by 1H, 31P NMR, UV-visible spectroscopies and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The methyl groups placed at the 3,7,13,17-positions induces the locking of the C6H4 fragment in a perpend…
Hologram development by diffusion in a polymer glass
2003
Thick rigid polymer media with diffusive development of gratings are suitable for archive information storage, and especially for 3D holographic optical elements. Diffusion of unreacted molecules of photosensitive dye ensures postexposure growth of diffracted light, which can be followed either by secondary growth, or by some decay caused by displacement of chromophore groups photochemically attached to polymer chains (photoproduct). In a long run, extremely slow, though still finite, diffusion of macromolecules leads to destruction of a holographic grating. Not only the rate, but also the shape of postexposure kinetics noticeably depends on the choice of particular polymer, its degree of p…
Room temperature crystal structure of the fast switching M159T mutant of the fluorescent protein dronpa
2015
The fluorescent protein Dronpa undergoes reversible photoswitching reactions between the bright ‘on’ and dark ‘off’ states via photoisomerisation and proton transfer reactions. We report the room temperature crystal structure of the fast switching Met159Thr mutant of Dronpa at 2.0 A resolution in the bright on state. Structural differences with the wild type include shifted backbone positions of strand β8 containing Thr159 as well as an altered A-C dimer interface involving strands β7, β8, β10, and β11. The Met159Thr mutation increases the cavity volume for the p-hydroxybenzylidene-imidazolinone chromophore as a result of both the side chain difference and the backbone positional difference…
Inspirations for EO polymer design gained from modeling of chromophore poling by Langevin dynamics
2013
One of the possibilities to create organic molecular material for NLO applications are polymers with dispersed NLO active chromophores. These molecules must be acentrically ordered by applying an external electric poling field. The NLO efficiency depends on dipole moment, molecular hyperpolarizabilities, concentration of the chromophores and external poling field strength. Calculating, from first principles, the extent of the alignment and via this NLO efficiency has proven to be challenging. One approach to solve this problem is pure analytic statistical mechanics treatment, what could be enhanced by Monte Carlo ( MC ) statistical mechanical modelling. The chromophore molecules usually hav…
