Impact of the synergistic collaboration of oligothiophene bridges and ruthenium complexes on the optical properties of dumbbell-shaped compounds.
2012
The linear and non-linear optical properties of a family of dumbbell-shaped dinuclear complexes, in which an oligothiophene chain with various numbers of rings (1, 3, and 6) acts as a bridge between two homoleptic tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes, have been fully investigated by using a range of spectroscopic techniques (absorption and luminescence, transient absorption, Raman, and non-linear absorption), together with density functional theory calculations. Our results shed light on the impact of the synergistic collaboration between the electronic structures of the two chemical moieties on the optical properties of these materials. Experiments on the linear optical properties …
Donor-acceptor substituted polyenes : orientation in mono- and multilayers
1992
Large molecules containing different chemical units whose interactions within the molecule result in new macroscopically observable effects, have become increasingly important.The organization of molecules of this type in ordered structures leads to functional molecular materials.Their use in molecular electronics requires that the units exhibit specific electronic properties. Recently, we reported on the intramolecular energy transfer through terminally substituted conjugated polyenes. An intramolecular electron transfer within donor-acceptor substituted polyenes can be achieved by introducing suitable terminal groups.
Long lived photoinduced charges in donor-acceptor anthraquinone substituted thiophene copolymers
2006
The photoinduced charge-transfer properties of a series of polyalkylthiophene copolymers, carrying anthraquinone substituents covalently linked to the conjugated backbone, have been studied in the solid state by photoinduced absorption (PA) and light-induced electron spin resonance (LESR) spectroscopy. The measurements indicate the formation of metastable charges arising from the photoinduced electron transfer from the polythiophene backbone to the anthraquinone moieties. At low temperatures (below 200 K), long-lived persistent charges are formed, exhibiting lifetimes that extend for several minutes; their recombination kinetics has been studied by following the formation and decay of the P…
1H,13C and17O NMR study of aromatic ring-substituted monochloro- and monobromo-(E)-3-phenylpropenals
1991
Trans-Cinnamaldehydes (CAs) or o-, m- and p-X-(E)-3-phenylpropenals; (X = Cl or Br) were synthesized and their 1H, 13C and 17O NMR spectra were measured, assigned and analysed. The long-range benzylic couplings are discussed in terms of the conformational characteristics of the related styrene systems. The 1H, 13C and 17O NMR substituent chemical shifts of the CA derivatives were compared with those of styrene and explained by the π-electron delocalization in the conjugated CCCO bond system of CA.
Diastereoselective Michael addition of (S)-mandelic acid enolate to 2-arylidene-1,3-diketones: enantioselective diversity-oriented synthesis of dense…
2006
[EN] A diversity-oriented approach to enantiomerically pure densely substituted pyrazoles, ¿-aryl-¿-pyrazolylatrolactic acid and ¿-aryl-¿-pyrazolylacetophenones has been developed. The approach utilises the conjugated addition of the lithium enolate of the (2S,5S)-cis-1,3-dioxolan-4-one derived from optically active (S)-mandelic acid and pivalaldehyde to several 2-arylidene-1,3-diketones, which proceeds readily to give the corresponding Michael adducts in good yields and diastereoselectivities. The cyclocondensation of the 1,3-diketone moieties present in Michael adducts with several hydrazines leads to enantiomerically pure densely substituted pyrazoles. Subsequent basic hydrolysis of the …
"Though It Be but Little, It Is Fierce": Excited State Engineering of Conjugated Organic Materials by Fluorination.
2016
Fluorination is frequently used to significantly change the properties of conjugated organic materials due to fluorine’s exceptional properties; well-known is its impact on electronic structure, but it also impacts the geometry despite fluorine’s small size. Less known, the changes in the electronic and geometrical properties may provoke drastic changes of the excited state properties like batho- and hypsochromic shifts of absorption and emission bands (inter alia leading to excited state switching), hypo- and hyperchromic effects, spectral broadening, and changes of the nonradiative deactivation pathways. The state of the art on these issues is summarized in the current Perspective to stim…
(1Z,3Z)-3-[Quinolin-2(1H)-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol: An unexpected most stable tautomer of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone
2009
Abstract 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR spectra reveal that CDCl 3 solution of 1,3-bis(quinolin-2-yl)acetone contains only ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol. The proton transfer takes place between two basic centers of the molecule, which means that the process is an identity reaction by character. The situation is completely different from that detected in chloroform solution of 1,3-bis(pyridin-2-yl)acetone where three different tautomers are in equilibrium with each other. Although the proton transfers in both ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene]-1-(quinolin-2-yl)prop-1-en-2-ol and ( 1Z , 3Z )-3-hydroxy-1-[quinolin-2(1 H )-ylidene-4-quinolin-2-yl]but-3-e…
Evidence in the formation of conjugated linoleic acids from thermally induced 9t12t linoleic acid: a study by gas chromatography and infrared spectro…
2009
Accepted version of article published in the journal: Chemistry and Physics of Lipids. Published version available on Science Direct: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chemphyslip.2009.07.002 Thermally induced isomerisation leading to the formation of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) has been observed for the first time during the thermal treatment of 9t12t fatty acid triacylglycerol, and methyl ester. Fifteen microlitre portions of the triacylglycerol sample containing 9t12t fatty acid (trilinoelaidin) were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen, then subjected to thermal treatment at 250 degrees C. The glass ampoules were removed at regular time intervals, cut open, and the co…
Gas chromatography-fourier transform infrared spectrometry of fatty acids: New Applications with a direct deposition interface
1998
Infrared spectroscopy is a suitable spectroscopic method to differentiate geometric Z and E isomers of unsaturated compounds. A direct-deposition Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), coupled to a gas chromatograph, was used successfully to analyze with a high sensitivity traces of C18:1 fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) isomers. It could also conclusively distinguish between isomers of conjugated diunsaturated FAME. The achievable sensitivity of this direct-deposition device makes possible accurate FAME mixture analyses that are not currently attainable with the more conventional light-pipe interface.

Published version of an article from the journal:The Open Spectroscopy Journa. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.2174/1874383801004010041. Open Access Isomerisation kinetics of the 9c11t and 10t12c Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) in triaclglycerols at isothermal conditions (250, 280 and 325oC) has been studied by infrared spectroscopy. Fifteen micro liter portions of the glycerides were placed in micro glass ampoules and sealed under nitrogen. Several glass tubes containing the same triacylglycerols were then subjected to thermal treatment. The glass tubes were removed at regular time intervals, cut open, and a part of the contents in each glass tube analysed by infrare…
