Chemoenzymatic synthesis of a poly(hydroquinone)
1999
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of a poly(hydroquinone) was achieved by enzymatic oxidative polymerization of 4-hydroxyphenyl benzoate, followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the resulting polymer. The polymerization of 4-hydroxyphenyl benzoate was performed using a peroxidase and hydrogen peroxide as catalyst and oxidizing agent, respectively, in an aqueous organic solvent. Soybean peroxidase afforded the polymer in good yields. IR analysis of the polymer showed the formation of the polymer consisting of a mixture of phenylene and oxyphenylene units. By alkaline hydrolysis of the resulting polymer, benzoate moiety was completely removed to give poly(hydroquinone).
Structural variations in amphiphiles: Discoidal multivalent cations
1986
Fourteen cationic multipolar amphiphiles have been synthesized with pyridinium or trimethylammonium head groups. The hydrophobic cores are planar ring systems (benzene or triphenylene) to which two, three, four, or six decylene or undecylene alkyl chains are attached by ester linkages. The hydrophilic head groups are bound to the outer ends of the alkyl chains.
1-Alkyl- and azeto[1,2-a][1,5]benzodiazepine derivatives in the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with 3-(dimethylamino)propiophenones
2000
The reaction of o-phenylenediamine (4) with one, two or three equivalents of p-substituted 3-dimethylaminopropiophenone hydrochlorides 5a−e was studied. 4-Aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives 6a−e were obtained in good yields, along with the 1:2-adducts 7c−e and the unexpected 1:3-adducts rac-8c−e. The type of adduct formed is determined by the molar ratio of the reactants 4 and 5 and by the nature of the substituent in the para position of the propiophenone 5.
Controlling Multivalent Interactions in Triply-Threaded Two-Component Superbundles
2003
We have investigated the (1)H NMR spectra, the absorption spectra, the fluorescence spectra and decays, and the electrochemical properties of i). a tritopic receptor in which three benzo[24]crown-8 macrorings are fused onto a triphenylene core, ii). a trifurcated trication wherein three dibenzylammonium ions are linked 1,3,5 to a central benzenoid core, and iii). their 1:1 adduct which constitutes a triply-threaded, two-component supramolecular bundle. X-Ray crystallography has established the precise geometry of this paucivalent recognition motif in the solid state. In addition to [N(+)-H...O] hydrogen bonding and [C-H...O] interactions between the NH(2) (+) centers on the three dibenzylam…
Impact of Molecular Size and Shape on the Supramolecular Co‐Assembly of Chiral Tricarboxamides: A Comparative Study
2020
We report herein a comparative investigation of the chiral amplification features of a series of three families of C 3 -symmetric tricarboxamides: 1,3,5-triphenylbenzenetricarboxamides (TPBAs), benzenetricarboxamides (BTAs) and oligo(phenylene ethynylene) tricarboxamides (OPE-TAs). As previously observed for BTAs and OPE-TAs, a similar dichroic response is obtained for TPBAs decorated with three, two or only one chiral side chain bearing stereogenic centers, thus confirming the efficient transfer of point chirality to the supramolecular helical aggregates. Unlike BTAs and OPE-TAs, the chiral amplification ability of TPBAs in majority rules experiments shows a negligible dependence on the nu…
Decoding the Consequences of Increasing the Size of Self-Assembling Tricarboxamides on Chiral Amplification
2019
A complete series of experimental and theoretical investigations on the supramolecular polymerization of chiral (1 and 2) and achiral (3) oligo(phenylene ethynylene) tricarboxamides (OPE-TAs) is reported. The performance of seargents-and-soldiers (SaS) and majority rules (MR) experiments has allowed deriving a full set of thermodynamic parameters, including the helix reversal penalty (HRP) and the mismatch penalty (MMP). The results described illustrate the influence exerted by the number of stereogenic centers per monomeric unit and the temperature on the chiral amplification phenomenon. While the HRP decreases upon decreasing the number of chiral side chains, the MMP follows an opposite t…
Theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of polymeric systems combining disilanylene and /spl pi/-conjugated units
1994
Summary form only given. Polymeric organosilicon systems are in the forefront of research, due to their intriguing properties (semiconducting behavior, photoconduction, non-linear optical properties, and thermo- and piezochromism). The fundamental skeletons of most of these polymers consist of a /spl sigma/-electron network formed by silicon-silicon bonds. Recently, polymeric organosilicon systems containing a regular alternation of a disilanylene unit and carbon /spl pi/-conjugated moiety as phenylene, ethynylene, or ethenylene have been synthesized. The purpose of this contribution is to perform a detailed study of the electronic structure of polymers containing alternated disilanylene an…
π-Conjugated diimidazolium salts: rigid structure to obtain organized materials.
2015
Phenylene ethynylene based diimidazolium salts differing in the alkyl chain length borne on the imidazolium ion and anion nature were synthesized. Their properties were studied both in solution and in the solid state. Salts obtained were able to aggregate in organic solvent solution. Aggregate formation was studied by performing concentration dependent measurements using UV-vis, fluorescence and Resonance Light Scattering. Furthermore, features of the aggregates were also investigated in the solid state by means of fluorescence and Scanning Electron Microscopy measurements. Finally, Density Functional Theory calculations were performed to obtain insights into the interaction geometry in the…
Evidence for reverse pathways and equilibrium in singlet energy transfers between an artificial special pair and an antenna
2013
A dyad, 1, built on an artificial special pair (bis(meso-nonyl)zinc(II)porphyrin), [Zn2], a spacer (biphenylene), a bridge (1,4-benzene), and an antenna (di-meso-(3,5-di(t-butyl)phenyl)porphyrin free base), FB, is prepared by Suzuki coupling and is analyzed by absorption and steady state, and time-resolved emission spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K. Using bases from the Förster theory, evidence for two pathways for S 1 energy transfer, FB* → [Zn2], and [Zn2]* → FB, along with their respective rates, k ET ( S 1)1 and k ET ( S 1)-1, are extracted from the comparison of the fluorescence decays monitored at the emission maximum. At 77 K, the unquenched (1.79 ([Zn2]) and 10.6 ns (FB)) and quenched c…
