(2,2‐Dibromovinyl)ferrocene as a Building Block for the Assembly of Heterodinuclear Complexes – Preparation of an σ‐Alkenylpalladium Complex and Dime…
2007
The oxidative addition of (2,2-dibromovinyl)ferrocene [Br2C=C(H)–Fc] (1) to [Pd(PPh3)4] yields the heterodinuclear σ-alkenyl complex trans-[{Pd(Br)(PPh3)2}–C(Br)=C(H)–Fc] (2). Nucleophilic attack of sodium thiolates on 1 unexpectedly affords the vinyl thioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(H)–Fc] (4a: R = Ph; 4b: R = tBu; 4c: R = Et). Complexes 4a and 4c can also be prepared by addition of NaSR across the triple bond of Fc–C≡C–H (3). Addition of an excess of NaSR to 1 affords the dithioether derivatives (Z)-[(RS)(H)C=C(SR)–Fc] (5a: R = Ph; 5b: R = p-tolyl; 5c: R = Et). An addition/elimination sequence is suggested to account for this surprising result. The yield of 5c is very low due to a co…
Synthesis of a labile sulfur-centred ligand, [S(H)C(PPh2S)2]−: structural diversity in lithium(i), zinc(ii) and nickel(ii) complexes
2016
A high-yield synthesis of [Li{S(H)C(PPh2S)2}]2 [Li2·(3)2] was developed and this reagent was used in metathesis with ZnCl2 and NiCl2 to produce homoleptic complexes 4 and 5b in 85 and 93% yields, respectively. The solid-state structure of the octahedral complex [Zn{S(H)C(PPh2S)2}2] (4) reveals notable inequivalence between the Zn-S(C) and Zn-S(P) contacts (2.274(1) Å vs. 2.842(1) and 2.884(1) Å, respectively). Two structural isomers of the homoleptic complex [Ni{S(H)C(PPh2S)2}2] were isolated after prolonged crystallization processes. The octahedral green Ni(ii) isomer 5a exhibits the two monoprotonated ligands bonded in a tridentate (S,S',S'') mode to the Ni(ii) centre with three distinctl…
Concave macrobicycles: Absorption spectra, luminescence properties, and endocavital complexation of neutral organic guests
1996
By a mild modified Eglinton coupling a series of diynebridged macrobicyclic hosts capable of endocavital complexation were synthesized and their structures and complexation properties investigated by X-ray analysis. The inclusion of DMSO in 7 suggests a direct correlation between steric fit and orientation of the guest. On the basis of this hypothesis, the orientation of acetone in an endocavital inclusion of 2 was predicted and verified by X-ray analysis. Comparison of the single-crystal X-ray structures of the vacant macrobicycle 3 and of a family of macrobicycles showing endocavital or “pocket” complexation of neutral organic guests suggests that torsion of the cavities upon complexation…
The in, out Asymmetric Pseudo-Triple Helical Form of a D3h Diaza-Macropentacycle
2007
A sterically encumbered [N(2)S(6)] macropentacycle (5) related to diazamacrobicycles and cryptands has been synthesized in 53% yield by the [1+1] condensation reaction between functionalized macrocyclic and macrotricyclic precursors. A macrononacycle (18) resulting from the corresponding [2+2] condensation was isolated in 7% yield from the reaction mixture. Both compounds showed broad features in their room-temperature (1)H NMR spectra, but their maximal average symmetry (D(3h) and D(2h), respectively) was achieved at high temperature (380 K). At low temperature (200 K, CD(2)Cl(2) solution), the macropentacycle is "frozen" to a single asymmetric (C1) conformation on the (1)H NMR time scale,…
Iodocyclization of o-Alkynylbenzamides Revisited: Formation of Isobenzofuran-1(3H)-imines and 1H-Isochromen-1-imines Instead of Lactams
2012
The iodocyclization of o-alkynylbenzamides with various electrophiles has been reported to yield five- or six-membered lactams by nucleophilic attack of the amide nitrogen onto the triple bond. While the formation of an isobenzofuran-1(3H)-imine with two bulky substituents under Larock conditions was initially attributed to steric hindrance, we found out that cyclization via the amide oxygen is the rule rather than the exception. Thus, the structures of the products reported in the literature need to be revised.
Shedding Light on the Interactions of Hydrocarbon Ester Substituents upon Formation of Dimeric Titanium(IV) Triscatecholates in DMSO Solution
2020
Abstract The dissociation of hierarchically formed dimeric triple lithium bridged triscatecholate titanium(IV) helicates with hydrocarbyl esters as side groups is systematically investigated in DMSO. Primary alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl as well as benzyl esters are studied in order to minimize steric effects close to the helicate core. The 1H NMR dimerization constants for the monomer–dimer equilibrium show some solvent dependent influence of the side chains on the dimer stability. In the dimer, the ability of the hydrocarbyl ester groups to aggregate minimizes their contacts with the solvent molecules. Due to this, most solvophobic alkyl groups show the highest dimerization tendency followed by…
Characterization of a sucrose/starch matrix through positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy: unravelling the decomposition and glass transition p…
2010
The triplet state of positronium, o-Ps, is used as a probe to characterize a starch-20% w/w sucrose matrix as a function of temperature (T). A two-step decomposition (of sucrose, and then starch) starts at 440 K as shown by a decrease in the o-Ps intensity (I(3)) and lifetime (τ(3)), the latter also disclosing the occurrence of a glass transition. Upon sucrose decomposition, the matrix acquires properties (reduced size and density of nanoholes) that are different from those of pure starch. A model is successfully established, describing the variations of both I(3) and τ(3) with T and yields a glass transition temperature, T(g) = (446 ± 2) K, in spite of the concomitant sucrose decomposition…
Colour tuning by the ring roundabout: [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]+ emitters with sulfonyl-substituted cyclometallating ligands
2015
A series of cationic bis-cyclometallated iridium(III) complexes [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]+ is reported. Cyclometallating C^N ligands are based on 2-phenylpyridine with electron-withdrawing sulfone substituents in the phenyl ring: 2-(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)pyridine (H1) and 2-(3-methylsulfonylphenyl)pyridine (H2). 2-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (pzpy) and 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (dmpzpy) are used as electron-rich ancillary N^N ligands. The complexes have been fully characterized and the single crystal structure of [Ir(2)2(dmpzpy)][PF6]·MeCN has been determined. Depending on the position of the methylsulfonyl group, the complexes are green or blue emitters with vibrationally structured em…
Regioisomerism in cationic sulfonyl-substituted [Ir(C^N)2(N^N)]+ complexes: its influence on photophysical properties and LEC performance
2016
A series of regioisomeric cationic iridium complexes of the type [Ir(C^N)2(bpy)][PF6] (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) is reported. The complexes contain 2-phenylpyridine-based cyclometallating ligands with a methylsulfonyl group in either the 3-, 4- or 5-position of the phenyl ring. All the complexes have been fully characterized, including their crystal structures. In acetonitrile solution, all the compounds are green emitters with emission maxima between 493 and 517 nm. Whereas substitution meta to the Ir-C bond leads to vibrationally structured emission profiles and photoluminescence quantum yields of 74 and 77%, placing a sulfone substituent in a para position results in a broad, featureless em…
A penetration depth study on the non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li2(Pd1−xPtx)3B
2008
Abstract We study the superconducting order parameter in the non-centrosymmetric compounds Li 2 (Pd 1− x Pt x ) 3 B ( x =0, 0.3, 0.7 and 1) by measuring magnetic penetration depth λ ( T ). The low temperature λ ( T ) shows a linear temperature dependence for x ⩾0.3, but follows exponential-like behavior for lower Pt contents. These findings suggest that a spin-triplet state might gradually develop with increasing x due to the broken inversion symmetry.
