Giant Crown-Shaped Polytungstate Formed by Self-Assembly of CeIII-Stabilized Dilacunary Keggin Fragments

2010

Single crystals of Na40K6[Ni(H2O)6]3 [K@K7Ce24Ge12W120O456 (OH)12(H2O)64]· 178H2O are synthesized by addition of KCl to a NaOAc/AcOH buffer solution containing Ce(NO3)3, GeO2, Na2WO4, and NiCl2 followed by slow evaporation at room temperature (24% yield).

Abstract Treatment of the copper(I) trifluoromethanesulphonate toluene complex {[Cu(CF3SO3)]2 · C6H5Me} (1) with phthalazine (phtz, C8H6N2) in dichloromethane-acetonitrile solution yielded, via the bis(acetonitrile)tris(μ-phthalazine)dicopper(I) trifluoromethanesulphonate intermediate (2), the novel bis(phthalazine)tris(μ-phthalazine)dicopper(I) trifluoromethanesulphonate salt (3). Compound 3 was completely characterised and the molecular structure determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 3 crystallises in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, with a = 26.9527(10), b = 10.9558(7), c = 19.2104(10) Å , β = 127.268(2)◦, V = 4514.3(4) Å3 and Z = 4. The copper(I) coordination g…

Concave Tetrathiafulvalene-Type Donors as Supramolecular Partners for Fullerenes

2007

The cap fits! A new class of concave π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, truxene-TTFs, were prepared and characterized, and their self-assembly with fullerenes was investigated (see picture). Truxene-TTFs represent the first example of TTF-related electron donors that serve, without chemical modification, as monotopic receptors for fullerenes in solution.

Self-Assembled DNA-Based Structures for Nanoelectronics

2023

Recent developments in structural DNA nanotechnology have made com-plex and spatially exactly controlled self-assembled DNA nanoarchitectureswidely accessible. The available methods enable large variety of differ-ent possible shapes combined with the possibility of using DNA structuresas templates for high-resolution patterning of nano-objects, thus openingup various opportunities for diverse nanotechnological applications. TheseDNA motifs possess enormous possibilities to be exploited in realization ofmolecular scale sensors and electronic devices, and thus, could enable fur-ther miniaturization of electronics. However, there are arguably two mainissues on making use of DNA-based electroni…

White Phosphorus Is Air-Stable Within a Self-Assembled Tetrahedral Capsule

2009

Molecular Fire Quencher Cage-shaped molecular assemblies can regulate the reactivity of smaller molecules trapped within them. Mal et al. (p. 1697 ) extend this approach to enable the protection of elemental white phosphorus (P 4 ), a substance that rapidly ignites on contact with oxygen. The tetrahedral cages self-assemble in aqueous solution through coordination of six ligands to four iron ions, and efficiently capture phosphorus from a suspension. The water-soluble host-guest constructs were stable in air for at least 4 months, but released intact P 4 rapidly on displacement by added benzene.

Understanding the Bond Formation in Hetero Diels-Alder Reactions. An ELF Analysis of the Reaction of Nitroethylene with Dimethylvinylamine

2012

[EN] The bonding evolution in hetero-Diels-Alder (HDA) reactions has been studied by an ELF analysis of the electron reorganization along the HDA reaction between nitroethylene 6 and dimethylvinylamine (DMVA) 9 at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. This cycloaddition takes place along a two-stages one-step mechanism. In the first stage of the reaction, the C1-C6 bond is formed by coupling of two pseudoradical centers positioned at the most electrophilic carbon of nitroethylene 6 and the most nucleophilic center of DMVA 9. In the second stage, the formation of the second O4-C7 bond takes place between a pseudoradical center positioned at the C7 carbon of DMVA and some electron-density provided by the l…

3.5-μm bandwidth mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in a 2-cm long suspended-core chalcogenide fiber

2014

A supercontinuum source extending from 0.6 to 4.1 µm has been successfully generated in a 2-cm long As2S3 chalcogenide suspended-core fiber by means of a nJ-level 200-fs pumping at 2.5 µm.

Self-Assembly of M24L48 Polyhedra Based on Empirical Prediction

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Novel Fluorous Cationic Amphiphiles with a 3,4-Dihydro-2(1H)-pyridone Spacer.

2011

Abstract The synthesis of fluorous (highly fluorinated) 3,4-dihydro-2(1 H )-pyridone-5-carboxylate cationic amphiphiles have been described, where the dihydropyridone serves as a spacer and either a pyridinium bromide or a triphenylphosphonium bromide form the polar cationic head group. The in water self-assembled aggregates have been observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
