Studies in organic mass spectrometry.VIII. The electron impact mass spectra of 2,4-substituted-3-diazo-5-phenylpyrroles
1990
The electron impact mass spectra (75 eV) of the β-diazopyrroles always show the molecular ions and undergo as the main fragmentation process the elimination of nitrogen followed by ring opening reactions leading to benzonitrile either as neutral or charged species. The peaks at 26 amu below the molecular ions, which are a general feature of these spectra, are due to the presence of the corresponding pyrroles which are formed by reductive reactions during the vaporization process of the samples.
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of electrophilically activated benzonitrile N-oxides. Polar cycloaddition versus oxime formation.
2006
The reactions of electrophilically activated benzonitrile N-oxides (BNOs) toward 3-methylenephthalimidines (MPIs) have been studied using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. For these reactions, two different channels allowing the formation of the [3 + 2] cycloadducts and two isomeric (E)- and (Z)-oximes have been characterized. The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions take place along concerted but highly asynchronous transition states, while formation of the oximes is achieved through a stepwise mechanism involving zwitterionic intermediates. Both reactions are initiated by the nucleophilic attack of the methylene carbon of the MPIs to the carbon atom of the electrophilically…
Theoretical absorption and emission spectra of 1H- and 2H-benzotriazole
2003
Excitation energies, dipole moments, and transition properties for the lowest-lying 1(π, π*) and 1(n, π*) electronic states of two benzotriazole tautomers have been studied at the complete active space (CAS) SCF and multiconfigurational second-order perturbation (CASPT2) levels. With these results, the UV absorption spectra of 1H- and 2H-benzotriazole were first described individually, and then they were considered simultaneously in order to better understand the experimental, observed spectrum of benzotriazole. Aspects of the fluorescence of the compound have been also analyzed. The spectrum of benzotriazole is finally related to those of other azo-compounds.
Synthesis and photovoltaic performance of the porphyrin based sensitizers with 2H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]pyridine and benzotriazole as auxiliary accep…
2017
Abstract Two novel zinc porphyrin dyes containing either benzotriazole or 2 H -[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5- c ]pyridine as auxiliary acceptors, respectively, were synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells. These two auxiliary acceptors were firstly applied into porphyrin based dyes. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the dyes were investigated. These two dyes show the whole visible light absorption when they are adsorbed on the TiO 2 film, which means that they are promising sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. The absorption intensity of the triazolopyridine containing dye is higher than that of the benzotriazole containing dye, resulting in a better light harvesting. Thus…
On the mechanism of catalytic isomerization of xylenes. Molecular orbital studies
1979
Abstract On the basis of CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculations, we postulate the following detailed mechanism for the catalytic isomerization of xylenes which explains the initial product distributions and also our previous finding that the reaction is intramolecular: (i) adsorption of xylene on a surface acid site to form a Wheland-type complex; (ii) disrotatory cyclization of the protonated species into a bicyclo[3, 1, 0]hexenyl complex; (iii) migration of the methylene bridge to a new side of the pentagonal ring; (iv) change of the new bicyclic species back into the corresponding Wheland-type complex; (v) desorption of the xylene isomer from the surface of the catalyst. The overall rate …
Photochemistry of 7-acetoxybenzopyran derivatives. Synthesis of eupatoriochromene and encecalin
1989
Abstract The photolysis of the 7-acetoxybenzopyran derivatives 1a-5a has been carried out. Chromene 1a was found to undergo extensive photopolymerization. Chromanone 2a underwent a rather inefficient photo-Fries rearrangement to the 6 - and 8 - acetyl derivatives 2b and 2c . Diacetoxychromene 3a gave the unsaturated ketone 8 as the main product, besides its deacetylation analogue 9 and chromanone 11 . Diacetoxychroman 4a afforded a mixture of four C-acetyl products: 1b, 1c, 2b and 2c , together with Chromene 1a and chromanone 2a. Finally, irradiation of chroman 5a gave rise to a mixture of the two possible photo-Fries products 5b (43%) and 5c (52%). The mechanistic implications of the above…
Synthesis of new, UV-photoactive dansyl derivatives for flow cytometric studies on bile acid uptake.
2009
Four new fluorescent derivatives of cholic acid have been synthesized; they incorporate a dansyl moiety at 3 alpha-, 3 beta-, 7 alpha- or 7 beta- positions. These cholic acid analogs are UV photoactive and also exhibit green fluorescence. In addition, they have been demonstrated to be suitable for studying the kinetics of bile acid transport by flow cytometry.
Halogen Bonded Analogues of Deep Cavity Cavitands
2014
The first examples of halogen bonded analogues of deep cavity cavitands with guest binding properties, formed between N-alkyl ammonium resorcinarene halides as acceptors and bromotrichloromethane as the donor, are reported in the solid state and in solution.
Spectroscopic study of the loading of cationic porphyrins by carbon nanohorns as high capacity carriers of photoactive molecules to cells
2019
Carbon nanomaterials are attractive candidates for drug delivery due to their high surface area, ease of functionalisation and biocompatibility. This work describes the spectroscopic monitoring of the loading capacity of oxidised carbon nanohorns for two cationic porphyrins. Addition of the COOH functionalised carbon nanohorns to both meso-tetra(4-N-methylpyridyl) free base (H2TMPyP4) and platinum (PtTMPyP4) porphyrin in aqueous solution results in hypochromism of the Soret band and quenching of the porphyrin emission. These changes are used to monitor the non-covalent binding interactions with the nanohorn surface and determine the surface loading. The colloidal stability of the nanohorns …
