Reactivity of Nickel(II) Porphyrins in oCVD Processes—Polymerisation, Intramolecular Cyclisation and Chlorination
2019
Abstract Oxidative chemical vapour deposition of (5,15‐diphenylporphyrinato)nickel(II) (NiDPP) with iron(III) chloride as oxidant yielded a conjugated poly(metalloporphyrin) as a highly coloured thin film, which is potentially useful for optoelectronic applications. This study clarified the reactive sites of the porphyrin monomer NiDPP by HRMS, UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and EPR spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. Unsubstituted meso positions are essential for successful polymerisation, as demonstrated by varying the porphyrin meso substituent pattern from di‐ to tri‐ and tetraphenyl substitution. DFT calculations support the proposed radical oxi…
Synthesis, spectroscopic and conformational analysis of 1,4-dihydroisonicotinic acid derivatives
2014
Abstract Structural and conformational properties of 1,4-dihydroisonicotinic acid derivatives, characterized by ester, ketone or cyano functions at positions 3 and 5 in solid and liquid states have been investigated by X-ray analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance and supported by quantum chemical calculations. The dihydropyridine ring in each of the compounds exists in flattened boat-type conformation. The observed ring distortions around the C(4) and N(1) atoms are interrelated. The substituent at N(1) has great influence on nitrogen atom pyramidality. The 1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants are discussed in terms of their relationship to structural features such as…
Topochemical Reactions of Monomers with Conjugated Triple-Bonds VII Mechanism of Transition from Monomer to Polymer Phase During Solid-State Polymeri…
1972
The lattice-controlled solid-state polymerisation of three different modifications of 2,4-hexadiin-1,6-diol-bis(phenylurethane) was investigated by X-ray and optical methods. The polymerisation is a homogeneous reaction. The polymer grows in the form of single chains within the crystal of the monomer. The chains extend along a definite crystallographic direction. Monomer and polymer are isomorphous and monomer-polymer single crystals of various compositions are obtained up to a quantitative conversion in the case of modification I or III. Phase separation into a mesomorphic polymer and oriented monomer phase was observed on annealing partially polymerised single-crystals of modification II …
Monodisperse Dialkoxy-Substituted Oligo(phenyleneethenylene)s
2006
Individual but connected synthetic routes for the preparation of the all-E-configured 2,5-dipropoxy-substituted oligo(1,4-phenyleneethenylene)s 1a–g were developed. An increasing number of conjugated stilbene units from n = 1 to n = 11 led to a convergent bathochromic shift (Δλ = λ∞ − λ1 = 127 nm) in the UV/Vis absorption. An exponential function for the convergence of the absorption energies (wavelengths) in conjugated systems is proposed. By a simple extrapolation of this function the effective chain length may be determined.
Tetrahedra from Aryleneethenylenes – From small Molecules to Luminescent Glasses
2004
AbstractThe fourfold Horner olefination of tetraphenylmethane or –silane with fourp-methyl- phosphonate groups and a variety of aromatic aldehydes with donor groups or extended conjugated systems results in the formation of tetrahedra from four chromophores connected via a central atom. Electronic spectra in solution reveal an electronic interaction between the π-systems. In the solid state, the emission of compounds with a dense packing is nearly identical to the solution spectra, more open structures show significant red shifts. The emission of scaffolds with 1-styrylpyrene chromophores is nearly completely quenched. Most of these tetrahedra are thermally stable up to 420°C. Depending on …
Mesomorphic Donor-Acceptor-substituted 1,4-Distyrylbenzenes
2009
Conjugated oligomers with terminal donor-acceptor substitution attract increasing attention in organic chemistry because of their outstanding and not seldom unexpected properties in materials science [1 – 4]. Although a variety of oligo(1,4-phenylene-vinylene)s with terminal donor-acceptor substitution (DAOPVs 1, Scheme 1) are known [5 – 22], the number of thermotropic liquid crystals among them is very low and is confined to monomers (n = 1), that means to certain push-pull substituted (E)-stilbenes [23 – 31]. The behavior of conjugatedmolecules, which are highly polar and form mesophases by self-organization, is very interesting for various applications of liquid crystals [3]. A big disad…
2.14 Selected Diastereoselective Reactions: Enolate Alkylation
2012
This chapter discusses processes in which enolates are subjected to reaction with alkylating reagents. In all the processes examined here, at least one of the two reaction components is chiral and the reaction gives rise to one or more diastereomeric compounds. In most cases, the enolate is generated through deprotonation of the corresponding carbonyl precursor with a suitable base, but in several cases, the enolate is generated differently, for example, through Michael addition of a nucleophile to a conjugated carbonyl compound. The various factors that have been found to influence the stereochemical outcome of the alkylation reaction in a measurable way are also discussed. The material ha…
A conjugated polymer with ethyl 2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) acetate units as a novel fluorescent chemosensor for silver(I) detection
2013
Abstract A novel conjugated polymer ( P1 ) containing fluorene and ethyl 2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1 H -benzo[ d ]imidazol-1-yl)acetate (PBMA) was designed and successfully synthesized through the Sonogashira coupling reaction. P1 shows high sensitivity and selectivity for Ag + detection in comparison to other metal cations. Upon addition of Ag + , the fluorescent emission of the polymer solution in THF was quenched dramatically, accompanying the color changed from blue to green. The detection limit for Ag + was 5 × 10 −8 mol L −1 . However, the similar copolymers P2 and P3 containing 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1 H -benzo[ d ]imidazole and 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1 H -benzo[ d ]imidazole, respectively, did not …
Site-specific targeting of enterovirus capsid by functionalized monodisperse gold nanoclusters
2014
Development of precise protocols for accurate site-specific conjugation of monodisperse inorganic nanoparticles to biological material is one of the challenges in contemporary bionanoscience and nanomedicine. We report here a successful site-specific covalent conjugation of functionalized atomically monodisperse gold clusters with 1.5-nm metal cores to viral surfaces. Water-soluble Au102(para-mercaptobenzoic acid)44 clusters, functionalized by maleimide linkers to target cysteines of viral capsid proteins, were synthesized and conjugated to enteroviruses echovirus 1 and coxsackievirus B3. Quantitative analysis of transmission electron microscopy images and the known virus structures showed …
Theoretical Multipolar Atom Model Transfer in Nitro-Derivatives of N-Methylaniline
2014
The nitroanilines are an example of compounds in which the coexistence of electron-rich and electron-deficient substituents, connected through a conjugated π-electronic system, makes their molecular second-order hyperpolarizability and second-harmonic generation efficiency particularly high. This property makes them extremely interesting from the point of view of charge density distribution analysis. The electron density of three isomeric molecules, i.e., N-methyl-2-nitroaniline, N-methyl-3-nitroaniline, and N-methyl-4-nitroaniline, was calculated theoretically through the multipolar atom model transfer. Two types of refinement models, i.e., multipolar atom model (MAM) and independent atom …
