Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterization ofmeso-Functionalized Corroles: Precursors of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials

2005

Cobalt(III) corroles exhibit an infinite selectivity for the coordination of carbon monoxide towards dioxygen and dinitrogen. This peculiar property thus allows their use as sensing devices for CO detection. Here are described the syntheses and physico-chemical characterization of meso mono-, bis- and tris(triethoxysilyl)-functionalized corroles, precursors of organic–inorganic materials. The corrole ring formation was achieved in every case using the “2+1” method involving the reaction of two equivalents of an encumbered dipyrromethane with one equivalent of an aromatic aldehyde in the presence of a catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid. The functionalization of the corrole by triethoxy…

Star-Shaped Compounds Having 1,3,5-Triazine Cores

2003

The 1,3,5-triazine derivatives 1−4 having styryl or higher oligo(phenylenevinylene) chains in the 2-, 4-, and 6-positions represent star-shaped push-pull compounds. Alkoxy or dimethylamino groups on the peripheral benzene rings, which act as electron donors, and the central 1,3,5-triazine ring, which acts as an electron acceptor, cause intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) to occur in the absorption S0⇄S1. Protonation of the 1,3,5-triazine core enhances the effect, as demonstrated by a bathochromic shift; a secondary protonation on the dimethylamino groups, however, leads to the breakdown of the ICT. Thus, the yellow compound 1d first becomes violet and then colorless upon the addition of tr…

The synthesis and polymerization of 2-cyanoethyl N-vinylcarbamate (3b) and of the corresponding 2-trimethylsilylethyl isomer 3c are reported. The homopolymers 4b and 4c, derived from 3b and 3c, could be deblocked under mild conditions (ethanolamine for 4b and trifluoroacetic acid or tetraethylammonium fluoride for 4c) with essentially 100% unmasking of the amino function. Treatment of such unmasked amino groups in a copolymer derived from N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and 3b with 4-{4-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]phenyl}butyryl chloride (13) (chlorambucil chloride) gave the corresponding amide, a potential antitumor agent. Kinetic studies showed that fluoride ion cleavage of poly(2-trimethylsilylethyl …

meso-Aryl-substituted free-base porphyrins: formation, structure and photostability of diprotonated species

2015

Susceptibility to interact with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) of selected free-base porphyrins, including a novel lipophilic 3-n-pentadecyl(phenoxy)-ethoxy-phenyl-substituted porphyrin, and photostability of their diprotonated compounds was explored in benzene and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Results have been discussed in terms of the commonly applied pK a -based procedure and confronted with a simple approach derived from experimentally-determined correlations reflecting the porphyrins affinity for TFA. Density functional theory (DFT) has proved the porphyrin moiety creates stable diprotonated species involving two TFA molecules, in which the fluorine atoms effectively contribute to the over…
