The [Pd(bipy)]2+ “merry-go-round”: Insights into the lability of the Pd–N bond
2009
Abstract Two tripods (1 and 2) featuring pyrimidinyl pendant arms have been synthesized from 5-(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-pyrimidine (5) and 1,3,5-tribromomethylbenzene derivatives. Reaction with three equivalents of [Pd(bipy)](NO3)2 to form a macrotricycle closed by palladium coordination unexpectedly afforded the mononuclear species [Pd(1)(bipy)]2+ and [Pd(2)(bipy)]2+. These complexes show fluxional behavior on the 1H NMR timescale, the [Pd(bipy)]2+ fragment hopping between the pyrimidinyl coordinating moieties. The ΔGc‡’s estimated by the coalescence method are temperature independent, which means that ΔSc‡ = 0. This indicates that the “merry-go-round” process of [Pd(bipy)]2+ occurs intramolecula…
Shape-persistent poly-porphyrins assembled by a central truxene: synthesis, structure, and singlet energy transfer behaviors
2013
Four dyad systems composed of a central truxene and either one or three β-substituted zinc(II) porphyrins (ZnP: TruZnP (7) and TruTriZnP (9)) or free-bases (H2P: TruP (6) and TruTriP (8)) have been prepared. The presence of β-methyl groups minimizes π-conjugation through the quasi right angle made by the porphyrin and the truxene planes, and renders these dyads relatively rigid. The position of the absorption and emission 0–0 peaks confirms the role of the truxene and porphyrin as the energy donor and acceptor, respectively. Selective excitation of the truxene results in an efficient singlet energy transfer (S1 ET) from the truxene to the porphyrin unit. The rates for S1 ET (k ET ) are ext…
Land surface emissivity retrieval from airborne sensor over urban areas
2012
Abstract In this paper we compare three different methodologies to retrieve land surface emissivity (LSE) over urban areas: the NDVI thresholds method, the temperature and emissivity separation (TES) algorithm and the temperature independent spectral indices (TISI) algorithm. The methodologies were applied to the Airborne Hyperspectral Scanner (AHS) imagery acquired during the Dual-use European Security IR Experiment 2008 (DESIREX 2008) experimental campaign over the city of Madrid (Spain). The images have a spatial resolution of 4 m. The retrieved values are compared to in situ data measured during the campaign at 4 sites. Results show a good performance of the TISI and the TES algorithms …
