Die dimerisierung von endständigen α-hydroxyacetylenen mit rhodiumkomplexkatalysatoren
1978
Abstract The dimerisation of monosubstituted α-hydroxyacetylenes, which is catalysed by rhodium complexes, yields 1,4-disubstituted vinylacetylenes. The catalyst has been optimized for 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol as the substrate by using different ligands. Kinetic measurements were carried out with the monomers 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol, 3-methylpent-1-yn-3-ol and 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol. In addition the rates of the dimerisation have been compared with those for a further series of α-hydroxyacetylenes. The by-products from the reaction of 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol with [(C 6 H 5 ) 3 P] 3 RhCl as catalyst were determined and the yields of the products compared with those of but-1-yn-3-ol and prop-1-yn-…
Hydrogen-Bonding Effects in Calix[4]arene Capsules
2000
The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of self-assembling calix[4]arene based capsules 1a.1a and 1b.1b are described. These compounds feature four urea substituents at the upper rims and four secondary amide fragments at the lower rims that can participate in inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in apolar solution. Communication between the calixarene rims in 1a, b influences the self-assembled cavity's size and shape. Specifically. dimerization results in a perfect cone conformation of the calixarene skeleton in 1a, b and stabilizes a seam of intramolecular amide C=O...H-N hydrogen bonds at the lower rim. This seam is cycloenantiomeric, with either clockwise or counterclock…
The conformational polymorphism and weak interactions in solid state structures of ten new monomeric and dimeric substituted dibenzyldimethylammonium…
2009
In this study, ten new dibenzyldimethyl/ethyl ammonium chloridopalladate(II) compounds with five different cations and two anions have been synthesized and a simple method for a synthesis, in which hydrochloric acid solutions are used, has been described. Furthermore, twelve structures including two polymorphs have been obtained from hydrochloric and methanol/acetonitrile solutions. The anion–cation and cation–cation interactions of the synthesized compounds have been studied mainly by means of single X-ray diffraction in order to study the effects of varying either the anion or the cations in these QA2PdCl4 and QA2Pd2Cl6 salts. The results indicate that the effects of intermolecular cation…
Dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes with tri- and tetradentate aminobis(phenolate)s
2005
Abstract The reactions of tridentate ligands, bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)methylamine (H2ONOMe) and bis(2-hydroxy-3-tert-butyl-5-methylbenzyl)methylamine (H2ONOtBu) with [MoO2(acac)2] (1) in methanol lead to the precipitation of monomeric dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2(ONOMe)(MeOH)] · MeOH (2a) and [MoO2(ONOtBu)(MeOH)] · MeOH (2b), respectively. Identical reactions in acetonitrile provide dimeric complexes [Mo2O2(μ-O)2(ONOMe)2] (3a) and [Mo2O2(μ-O)2(ONOtBu)2] (3b). The reactions of 1 with tetradentate ligands, N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)-N,N′-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (H2ONNOMe) and N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)-N,N′-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (H2ONNOtBu)…
Experimental and theoretical investigations of structural isomers of dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate dimers: dichalcogenides or spirocyclic contact io…
2007
A synthetic protocol for the tert-butyl-substituted dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinates [Na(tmeda){(EPtBu(2))(2)N}] (3 a, E=S; 3 b, E=Se; 3 c, E=Te) has been developed. The one-electron oxidation of the sodium complexes [Na(tmeda){(EPR(2))(2)N}] with iodine produces a series of neutral dimers (EPR(2)NPR(2)E--)(2) (4 b, E=Se, R=iPr; 4 c, E=Te, R=iPr; 5 a, E=S, R=tBu; 5 b, E=Se, R=tBu; 5 c, E=Te, R=tBu). Attempts to prepare 4 a (E=S, R=iPr) in a similar manner produced a mixture including HN(SPiPr(2)). Compounds 4 b, 4 c and 5 a-c were characterised by multinuclear NMR spectra and by X-ray crystallography, which revealed two alternative structures for these dimeric molecules. The derivatives 4 b,…
Assembly and Separation of Semiconductor Quantum Dot Dimers and Trimers
2011
Repeated precipitation of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QD) from a good solvent by adding a poor solvent leads to an increasing number of QD oligomers after redispersion in the good solvent. By using density gradient ultracentrifugation we have been able to separate QD monomer, dimer, and trimer fractions from higher oligomers in such solutions. In the corresponding fractions QD dimers and trimers have been enriched up to 90% and 64%, respectively. Besides directly coupled oligomers, QD dimers and trimers were also assembled by linkage with a rigid terrylene diimide dye (TDI) and separated again by ultracentrifugation. High-resolution transmission electron micrographs show that the …
A Supramolecular Chiral Auxiliary Approach: “Remote Control ”of Stereochemistry at a Hierarchically Assembled Dimeric Helicate
2016
Dimeric hierarchically-assembled titanium(IV) helicates are in solvent-dependent equilibrium with the corresponding monomers. Statistically formed mixtures of such complexes bearing chiral stereocontrolling ligands and achiral diene-substituted ligands show high diastereoselectivity and reasonable enantioselectivity in the Diels-Alder reaction with maleimides if the reaction proceeds with the dimer but not with the monomer. Thus, solvent dependent switching between the monomer and dimer enables on/off switching of the enantioselectivity.
Preparation of Native and Recombinant Light-Harvesting Chlorophyll-<I>a/b </I>Complex
2004
Procedures to isolate native light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b complex (LHCIIb) and to reconstitute recombinant LHCIIb are described. Separation of trimeric from monomeric forms and free pigment by sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation can be applied to both native and reconstituted complexes. The preparations are characterized by their pigment composition, protein pattern, and spectral properties.
Decreasing the chlorophyll a/b ratio in reconstituted LHCII: Structural and functional consequences
1999
Trimeric (bT) and monomeric (bM) light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) with a chlorophyll a/b ratio of 0.03 were reconstituted from the apoprotein overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Chlorophyll/xanthophyll and chlorophyll/protein ratios of bT complexes and 'native' LHCII are rather similar, namely, 0.28 vs 0. 27 and 10.5 +/- 1.5 vs 12, respectively, indicating the replacement of most chlorophyll a molecules with chlorophyll b, leaving one chlorophyll a per trimeric complex. The LD spectrum of the bT complexes strongly suggests that the chlorophyll b molecules adopt orientations similar to those of the chlorophylls a that they replace. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of bM and bT complexes…
Localization of the N-terminal Domain in Light-harvesting Chlorophyll a/b Protein by EPR Measurements
2005
The conformational distribution of the N-terminal domain of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCIIb) has been characterized by electron-electron double resonance yielding distances between spin labels placed in various domains of the protein. Distance distributions involving residue 3 near the N terminus turned out to be bimodal, revealing that this domain, which is involved in regulatory functions such as balancing the energy flow through photosystems (PS) I and II, exists in at least two conformational states. Models of the conformational sub-ensembles were generated on the basis of experimental distance restraints from measurements on LHCIIb monomers and then checked f…
