Guest-Induced Folding of the N-Benzyl Substituents in an Ammonium Resorcinarene Chloride and the Formation of a Halogen-Bonded Dimer of Capsules
2016
In methanol, N-benzyl ammonium resorcinarene chloride (Bn-NARCl) crystallizes as a solvate with the benzyl groups oriented in an open flower-like manner parallel to the cation–anion seam. 1,4-Dioxane as guest triggers a “semi-closed” single-molecule capsule with two benzyl “arms” enclosing the guest. The introduction of halogen bond (XB) donor 1,4-diiodoperfluorobutane (1,4-DIOFB) additionally folds the remaining two benzyl arms thus resulting in a fully closed capsule. Two 1,4-DIOFB molecules bridge two such Bn-NARCl capsules, forming a 2:2:2 XB held dimeric assembly of single-molecule capsules. The peculiar behavior was not observed in the bromide analog under similar experimental conditi…
Effects of metal–ligand coordination on the self-assembly behaviour of a crown ether functionalised perylenetetracarboxylic diimide
2012
A novel perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) derivative, N,N′-di(4′-benzo-15-crown-5-ether)-1,7-di(4-tert-butyl-phenoxy)perylene-3,4;9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (CRPDI), has been synthesised and characterised. Dimerisation of CRPDI is induced by the presence of K+ in CHCl3 or spontaneously occurs in methanol, as revealed by absorption and emission spectroscopy. In particular, the formation of co-facial dimer in the presence of K+ proceeds in a three-stage process, as indicated by absorption spectroscopy. The belt- and rope-like nanostructures of CRPDI fabricated from methanol and CHCl3 solution in the presence of K+ are obtained by scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, the conductivi…
Reactions of α-diimino ligands with the chloro-bridged dimer [RhCl(COD)]2(COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene)
1988
Abstract The reactions of α-diimino ligands N - N ′ [ N - N ′= 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), C 5 H 4 N2CHNR (R= C 6 H 4 OMe- p , PyCa), RNCHCHNR (R=C 6 H 4 - OMe- p , DAB)] with [RhCl(COD)] 2 give rise to stoichiometry, solvent, ligand, and temperature dependent equilibria. In general, the 1/1 ligand/dimer reaction yields the ionic product [Rh(COD)( N - N ′)] [RhCl 2 (COD)], at room temperature. For N - N ′=DAB, the ionic form is in equilibrium with the binuclear compound [{RhCl(COD)} (μ-DAB){RhCl(COD)}] (containing a σ σ,'- N , N ′ bridging α-diimine), which becomes the predominant species at low temperatures. In [Rh(COD)( N - N ′)] [RhCl 2 (COD)], a fast exchange of the Rh(COD) unit betwe…
Oxygen atom transfer catalysis by dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes of pyridyl aminophenolate ligands
2021
Abstract A series of new cationic dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2(Ln)]PF6 (2–5) with the tripodal tetradentate pyridyl aminophenolate ligands HL2-HL5 have been synthesized and characterized. Ligands HL2-HL4 carry substituents in the 4-position of the phenolate ring, viz. Cl, Br and NO2, respectively, whereas the ligand HL5, N-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, is a derivative of 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde. X-ray crystal structures of complexes 2, 3 and 5 reveal that they have a distorted octahedral geometry with the bonding parameters around the metal centres being practically similar. Stoichiometric oxygen atom transfer (OAT) properties of 5 with…
A detailed MSn study for the molecular identification of a dimer formed from oxidation of pinene
2016
Abstract Dimeric products formed in the oxidation of α- and β-pinene have been frequently observed in laboratory and field studies of biogenic SOA formation. While their existence is undoubted, their exact chemical structures remain unclear. This study uses a combined two step approach aiming on the molecular identification of the most important of the various dimers that have been observed in biogenic secondary organic aerosol formation, a dimer with the molecular weight 358 g mol−1. The first step is the application of a functional group derivatization technique (esterification) to quantify the number of carboxylic acid groups in the target molecule. Based on the detailed interpretation o…
EFFECTS OF SENSITIZED AND UNSENSITIZED LONGWAVE U.V.-IRRADIATION ON THE SOLUTION PROPERTIES OF DNA
1971
— Two types of photoreactions occur in DNA irradiated in aqueous systems with longwave u.v.-light (Λ > 295 nm), namely, (a) thymine dimerization, and (b) single- and double-strand breakage of the sugar phosphate backbone; these two reactions are unrelated. The presence of acetophenone as a photosensitizer caused an increase in dimerization by a factor of 16, and an increase in single-strand breaks by a factor of 4. The number of thymine dimers per single-strand break is about 100 in the sensitized and 25 in the unsensitized reaction. The alteration of the radius of gyration of DNA molecules is that expected by the degradation observed. At the same time the change in hyperchromicity is very …
Soluble oligoaramide precursors--a novel class of building blocks for rod-coil architectures.
2005
A new synthetic route is described that allows the reversible conversion of the inherently insoluble oligo-p-benzamides into soluble materials through the formation of imidoyl chlorides. Syntheses of the corresponding dimer, trimer, and tetramer are reported; these compounds can easily be purified by crystallization and are accessible on the multigram scale. Structural proof was obtained by single-crystal X-ray structures of the trimer and tetramer precursors. They can be selectively functionalized into amides or esters at the terminal carboxylic acid group followed by hydrolysis of the imidoyl chlorides to the parent amides. This new class of compounds gives access to strongly aggregating …
Synthesis, structure and physical characterization of the dimer {[(bpy)2Co]2(TPOA)}4+ (bpy=2,2′-dipyridyl; H2TPOA=N,N′,N′′,N′′′-tetraphenyl oxalamidi…
2008
Abstract The reaction between CoCl 2 , 2,2′-dipyridyl (bpy) and N , N ′, N ′′, N ′′′-tetraphenyl oxalamidine (H 2 TPOA) in a water/ethanol mixture yields the {[(bpy) 2 Co] 2 (TPOA)} 2+ dimer, that is immediately oxidized in aerobic conditions leading to the Co III species {[(bpy) 2 Co] 2 (TPOA)} 4+ . This cation was isolated as the {[(bpy) 2 Co] 2 (TPOA)}(PF6) 4 ( 1 ) salt, that was characterized by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. The dimer is formed by two Co III ions in octahedral coordination bridged by a deprotonated μ 2 -TPOA ligand. The Co III ions appear in its low spin configuration. Thus, the dimers are essentially diamagnetic, as shown by 1 H NMR and magnetic measurements.
Viologen-based ionic liquid crystals: induction of a smectic A phase by dimerisation.
2014
The stability of thermotropic ionic liquid crystals is essentially due to micro-phase segregation between the ionic heads and the long alkyl chains. Here we show, using newly synthesized viologen dimers, that the structure of the central core is another key parameter to play with in order to tune the mesomorphic behaviour. © 2014 the Owner Societies.
Synthesis, Spectroscopic, and Structural Investigation of the Cyclic [N(PR2E)2]+ Cations (E = Se, Te; R = iPr, Ph): the Effect of Anion and R-Group …
2006
Two-electron oxidation of the [N(PiPr2E)2]- anion with iodine produces the cyclic [N(PiPr2E)2]+ (E =Se, Te) cations, which exhibit long E-E bonds in the iodide salts [N(PiPr2Se)2]I (4) and [N(PiPr2Te)2]I (5). The iodide salts 4 and 5 are converted to the ion-separated salts [N(PiPr2Se)2]SbF6 (6) and [N(PiPr2Te)2]SbF6 (7) upon treatment with AgSbF6. Compounds 4-7 were characterized in solution by multinuclear NMR, vibrational, and UV-visible spectroscopy supported by DFT calculations. A structural comparison of salts 4-7 and [N(PiPr2Te)2]Cl (8) confirms that the long E-E bonds in 4, 5, and 8 can be attributed primarily to the donation of electron density from a lone pair of the halide counte…
