Intramolecular pi-stacking in a phenylpyrazole-based iridium complex and its use in light-emitting electrochemical cells.

2010

A novel iridium(III) complex, [Ir(dmppz)(2)pbpy][PF(6)] (Hdmppz = 3,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrazole and pbpy = 6-phenyl-(2,2'-bipyridine)), is reported. The complex shows an intramolecular face-to-face pi-stacking between the phenyl ring of the dmppz ligand and the pendant phenyl of the pbpy ligand. This interaction provides a supramolecular cage formation that holds also in the excited states. Light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) using the novel complex show extraordinary lifetimes of approximately 2000 h. The high stability is favored by the presence of pendant methyl groups on the dmppz ligands that hinder the entrance of water molecules rendering the degradation of the complex more d…

Relatively strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling in a neutral Cr(III)2Nb(V)2 heterobimetallic molecular square.

2015

A relatively large antiferromagnetic interaction between the two chromium(III) ions from the molecular square [{Cr(dmso)4}2{Nb(μ-O)2(C2O4)2}2] () (J = -12.0 cm(-1)) is mediated by the diamagnetic oxo-Nb(V)-oxo pathway, its nature and magnitude being substantiated by DFT type theoretical calculations.

Extension of Conjugation Leading to Bathochromic or Hypsochromic Effects in OPV Series

2004

Four OPV series 1-4 (a-d) with a terminal dialkylamino group as electron donor were prepared by Wittig-Horner reactions. To study the influence of the push-pull effect on the long-wavelength absorption, three of the four series contained terminal acceptor groups (CN, CHO, NO(2)). The length of the chromophores strongly affects the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-an effect which superimposes upon the extension of the conjugation. Increasing numbers n of repeat units cause an overall bathochromic shift for the purely donor-substituted series 1 a-4 a and the series 1 b-4 b with CN as weak acceptor. The two effects annihilate each other in the series 1 c-4 c with terminal CHO groups, so th…

Reactivity and Selectivity of Ortho-Metalated Rhodium(II) Complexes in C−H Insertion Reactions of α-Diazo Compounds

1998

Regioselective intramolecular C−H insertion reactions of α-diazo β-keto esters and α-diazo ketones are mediated by Rh2[OOCR]4-x[PC]x (x = 1, 2; PC = ortho-metalated phosphine; R = CH3, C3F7). In particular, the intramolecular transformation of 1-diazo-5-methyl-3-propyl-2-hexanone catalyzed by Rh2[OOCCH3]2[PC]2 (PC = (C6H4)P(C6H5)2, head-to-tail (H−T) configuration) afforded only the tertiary C−H insertion product. By comparison, no C−H insertion reaction was promoted by doubly metalated complexes with a head-to-head (H−H) configuration. Rh2[OOCR]3[PC] compounds were found to be less suited for these type of reactions.

Breaking the semi-quinoid structure: spin-switching from strongly coupled singlet to polarized triplet state.

2014

2,7-TMPNO (4,5,9,10-tetramethoxypyrene-2,7-bis(tert-butylnitroxide)) was found to exist in semi-quinoid form with unprecedented strong intramolecular magnetic exchange interaction of 2 J/kB = 1185 K operating over a distance of 10 A. Structural transformations with the activation energy of ΔEeq = 949 K were observed by varying the temperature, from more quinoid structure at low temperature to more biradicaloid structure at higher temperature. Moreover, this molecule undergoes a transient spin transition from singlet to polarized triplet state upon photoexcitation revealed by TREPR spectroscopy. The spin Hamiltonian parameters were determined to be S = 1, g = 2.0065, D = -0.0112 cm(-1), and …

Raman and theoretical study of the solvent effects on the sizable intramolecular charge transfer in the push-pull 5-(dimethylamino)-5'-nitro-2,2'-bit…

2006

In this paper, we analyze the degree of intramolecular charge transfer in a push-pull π-conjugated system, 5-(dimethylamino)-5'-nitro-2,2'-bithiophene, from changes in frequencies and relative intensities of its strongestRaman scatterings in a bunch of solvents with different polarities. Density functional theory (DFT) was used as a support of the experimental study. Solvent effects on the molecular and electronic structures and on the vibrational properties were estimated by performing B3LYP/6-31G** calculations within the framework of the polarized continuum model (PCM) developed by Tomasi. Calculations reveal that the molecule is highly polarized in the ground state and behaves as a very…

Localized excitation effect on dipole moments of oligophenylenevinylenes in their excited Franck–Condon state

2010

Abstract The results from electrooptical absorption measurements (EOAM) on the ground and excited Franck–Condon state dipole moments of oligophenylenevinylenes in 1,4-dioxane and cyclohexane are presented. The dipole moments of quadrupolar dyes in the ground state are not equal zero. This means that one of the functional end groups of these molecules is not on the axis or on the plane with the central part of the molecule. Such a conclusion is confirmed by the quantum-chemical and semi-empirical recalculations. Owing to disorder in the ground-state geometry of the dyes the π–π conjugated system is located on mostly the plane part of the molecule and in the main this part absorbs the light. …

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.

Metallophilic interactions in stacked dinuclear rhodium 2,2'-biimidazole carbonyl complexes

2012

Non-covalent metallophilic interactions were studied by investigating the stacking of two neutral rhodium complexes [Rh2I(R2bim)Cl2(CO)4] (R = Et, ethyl or Pr, propyl) in the solid state. Both dinuclear complexes formed infinite arrays of square planar d8 rhodium centres with intramolecular Rh⋯Rh distances of 3.1781(5) A (R = Et) and 3.1469(3) A (R = Pr) and the intermolecular Rh⋯Rh distances of 3.4345(6) A (R = Et) and 3.4403(3) A (R = Pr) between the adjacent molecules. The crystalline solids were stable and did not contain any solvent of crystallization. The effect of the metallophilic interactions on the absorption properties were studied using TD-DFT methods. The computational results …
