Excited states of [3.3](4,4')biphenylophane: the role of charge-transfer excitations in dimers with pi-pi interaction.

2010

The singlet and triplet electronic excitation manifold of [3.3](4,4')biphenylophane (BPP), an intramolecular dimer, and 4,4'-dimethylbiphenyl (DMBP), the corresponding monomer, has been analyzed by employing the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles model (CC2). The calculated triplet-triplet and singlet-singlet transient absorption spectra show good agreement with recent experimental results. The calculations suggest a strong interaction of the two biphenyl moieties of BPP in the first singlet and triplet excited states due to the overlapping pi-electron systems, and Forster-Dexter theory for weak coupling cannot be applied. Both the first excited singlet and triplet states of BP…

Spin Transition Molecular Materials: New Sensors

2002

This short review article concerns a new family of iron(II) spin transition chain compounds containing 4-R-1,2,4-triazole derivatives whose properties have been followed by several physical techniques. A clear evidence of the LIESST effect at 20 K has been found for one of these materials by 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. Potential applications in terms of pressure and thermal sensors are discussed.

Indoloquinolines, Indolobenzoxazines and Quinazolophthalazines Prepared from Norbornane/eneamino Acids and Hydrazides

2005

The reactions of di-endo- and di-exo-aminonorbornane/enecarboxylic acids 1–4 with ethyl 2-(2-oxocyclohexyl)acetate afforded methanoindoloquinolines 5, 6, 8, and 9, the oxo ester participating as a two-membered sp2 building block. In the cases of di-exo- and di-endo-aminonorbornenecarboxylic acids 2 and 4, methanoindolobenzoxazinediones 7 and 10 were also formed; compound 7 was also isolated from the mother liquor of 10. The reactions of ethyl 2-(2-oxocyclohexyl)acetate with aminonorbornane/enecarbohydrazides 11–14 result in the methanoquinazolophthalazines 15–18. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, and for 6, 7, 8, and 10 also by X-ray crystallography. (© Wi…

Deep eutectic solvents vs ionic liquids: Similarities and differences

2020

Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DES) were introduced as an alternative to ionic liquids (IL) to overcome the drawbacks of IL solvents. However, some authors consider them to be a subclass of ILs. In contrast, other authors emphasize that these are by their nature independent, different groups of substances. Thus, the question arises: Which solvent group should DESs belong to? Maybe a new class should be added to the existing ones. The aim of this work is to attract the attention of researchers using DES in their studies to the need for a proper use of terms.

Revealing interactions between polyaza pyridinophane compounds and DNA/RNA polynucleotides by SERS spectroscopy

2014

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) in the near-infrared region had been applied to study interactions of polyaza pyridinophanes with single stranded RNA and double stranded DNA and RNA polynucleotides. Studied compounds, PYPOD and PHENPOD, differed in the central aromatic moiety, pyridine and phenanthroline, respectively, which linked two cyclic amines. An intense scattering was obtained from molecules adsorbed onto the silver nanoparticles, showing nonlinear concentration dependence in the 6.5 × 10−8−6.5 × 10−5 M range. New bands in spectra of PYPOD/polynucleotide and PHENPOD/polynucleotide mixtures were assigned to vibrational modes of polynucleotide moieties involved i…

Sequential identification of organic dyes using the voltammetry of microparticles approach

2009

An electrochemical method for identifying indigoid, anthraquinonic, naphtoquinonic, flavonoid, pyrone, pyran, and other related dyes in microsamples from works of art is reported using the voltammetry of microparticles methodology. Products of solid state oxidation/reduction of dyes form a layer on the lateral faces of the dye crystals as suggested by ATR-FTIR and AFM data. This method is based on the sequential application of oxidative and reductive constant-potential polarization steps coupled with the record of square wave voltammograms to solid microsamples of dyes in contact with aqueous electrolytes.

Four new eremophilendiolides from Ligularia atroviolacea

2007

From Ligularia atroviolacea, four new eremophilendiolides, 8 beta-hydroxy-eremophil-3,7 (11)-dien-12,8 alpha(14,6 alpha)-diolide (1), 8 beta-methoxy-eremophil-3,7(11)-dien-12,8 alpha(14,6 alpha)-diolide (2), 8 alpha-hydroxy-eremophil-3,7(11)-dien-12,8 beta(14,6 alpha)-diolide (3) and eremophil-3,7(11),8-trien-12,8 (14,6 alpha)-diolide (4), as well as a known diolide (5) were isolated. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR as well as ESI-MS spectral data. (c) 2006 Yu Zhao. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.

Controlling Spin-Correlated Radical Pairs with Donor-Acceptor Dyads: A New Concept to Generate Reduced Metal Complexes for More Efficient Photocataly…

2021

Abstract One‐electron reduced metal complexes derived from photoactive ruthenium or iridium complexes are important intermediates for substrate activation steps in photoredox catalysis and for the photocatalytic generation of solar fuels. However, owing to the heavy atom effect, direct photochemical pathways to these key intermediates suffer from intrinsic efficiency problems resulting from rapid geminate recombination of radical pairs within the so‐called solvent cage. In this study, we prepared and investigated molecular dyads capable of producing reduced metal complexes via an indirect pathway relying on a sequence of energy and electron transfer processes between a Ru complex and a cova…
