Soluble Heterometallic Coordination Polymers Based on a Bis-terpyridine-Functionalized Dioxocyclam Ligand

2010

Soluble homo- and heterometallic coordination polymers containing transition metal cations (Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), and Ni(2+) ions) were prepared in a two-step procedure using a polytopic bis(terpyridine)dioxocyclam ligand 1H(2) (dioxocyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione). These supramolecular systems incorporate two different metal complexes, the metal cations being located both between two terpyridine units and in the macrocyclic framework. The characterization of these soluble architectures was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, mass spectrometry, viscosimetry, and UV-vis absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Our results clearly indicate t…

Biphenols are important structure motifs for ligand systems in organic catalysis and are therefore included in the category of so-called "privileged ligands". We have developed a new synthetic pathway to construct these structures by the use of selenium dioxide, a stable, powerful, and commercially available oxidizer. Our new, and easy to perform protocol gives rise to biphenols and diaryl selenides depending on the solvent employed. Oxidative treatment of phenols in acetic acid yields the corresponding biphenols, whereas conversion in pyridine results in the preferred formation of diaryl selenides. As a consequence, we were able to isolate a broad scope of novel diaryl selenides, which cou…

Acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation: synthesis of indoles and quinolines from diols and anilines.

2021

The use of diols and anilines as reagents for the preparation of indoles represents a challenge in organic synthesis. By means of acceptorless dehydrogenative condensation, heterocycles, such as indoles, can be obtained. Herein we present an experimental and theoretical study for this purpose employing heterogeneous catalysts Pt/Al2O3 and ZnO in combination with an acid catalyst (p-TSA) and NMP as solvent. Under our optimized conditions, the diol excess has been reduced down to 2 equivalents. This represents a major advance, and allows the use of other diols. 2,3-Butanediol or 1,2-cyclohexanediol has been employed affording 2,3-dimethyl indoles and tetrahydrocarbazoles. In addition, 1,3-pro…

Radical cation and dication of a 4H-dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-e][1,4]-thiazine

2017

A p-tert-butylphenyl substituted 4H-dithieno[2,3-b:3′,2′-e][1,4]thiazine was synthesized by twofold Buchwald–Hartwig coupling. The electronic properties (UV/Vis, cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry) and the DFT- and TD DFT-calculated electronic structure reveal that the parent system and the radical cation and dication oxidation products are highly polarizable π-systems with strong charge transfer contributions. The radical cation and the dication were prepared by oxidation with antimony(V) pentachloride, giving stable deeply colored salts. EPR spectroscopy of the radical cation furnishes hyperfine coupling constants with the nitrogen nucleus and the α-thienyl protons. The dicati…

Protonation and Electrochemical Properties of Pyridyl- and Sulfonatophenyl-Substituted Porphyrins in Nonaqueous Media

2017

International audience; The protonation and electrochemical properties of positively charged and negatively charged porphyrins are reported in up to five different nonaqueous solvents. The positively charged porphyrins are represented by mono- and di-pyridyl derivatives having the formula Pyx(PhMe)4-xPM, where P=the dianion of the porphyrin macrocycle, PhMe is a meso-tolyl group, Py a meso-pyridyl group, x=1 or 2, and M=H2, NiII, CuII, ZnII, or CoII. The negatively charged porphyrins are comprised of meso-tetrasulfonato derivatives having the formula [(R)4(TPPS)H2]4−(X+)4, where [(TPPS)H2]4− represents the porphyrin with four SO3− groups on the meso-phenyl substituents of the macrocycle, R=…

Supramolecular open-framework architectures based on dicarboxylate H-bond acceptors and polytopic cations with three/four N–H+donor units

2015

International audience; Supramolecular assemblages based on anionic H-acceptors and cationic H-donors have been envisioned to elaborate open frameworks maintained by ionic H-bonds. Combinations of di-anionic chloranilate (CA2-), oxalate (Ox2-), or terephthalate (BDC2-) and trisimidazolium or tetrapyridinium derivatives (three and four N-H+ donors, respectively) yielded five architectures of formulae [(H3TrIB)(CA)1.5[middle dot]2DMF[middle dot]2.5H2O] (1), [(H4Tetrapy)(CA)2[middle dot]3DMF] (2), [(H3TrIB)(HOx)(Ox)[middle dot]5H2O] (3), [(H4Tetrapy)(Ox)2[middle dot]5H2O] (4), and [(H4Tetrapy)(BDC)2(H2O)[middle dot]1DMF[middle dot]3H2O] (5) (with TrIB = 1,3,5-trisimidazolylbenzene and Tetrapy …

Conformational Switching of Multi-Responsive Ferrocenyl-Phenol Conjugates

2016

Multifunctional conformational switches based on the ferrocenyl-salicylic acid amide motif with increasing additional complexity at the Fc moiety (R = COOMe, CONHEt, CONHFc; H-2–H-4; Fc = ferrocenyl) have been prepared and their preferred secondary structures in solution have been elucidated by NMR and IR spectroscopy in combination with conformational searches based on DFT calculations. Their distinct conformational responses to deprotonation ([2]––[4]–) and oxidation ([H-2]+·–[H-4]+·) have been revealed by IR, EPR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy as well as by DFT calculations. Deprotonation inverts all amide units (double amide twist) whereas oxidation selectively flips the terminal amide unit (…

Diferratricarbaboranes of thesubcloso-[(η5-C5H5)2Fe2C3B8H11] Type, the First Representatives of the 13-Vertex Dimetallatricarbaborane Series

2003

Treatment of the [2-Cp-9-tBuNH-closo-2,1,7,9-FeC 3 B 8 H 1 0 ] (1) ferratricarbollide (Cp = η 5 -C 5 H 5 -) with Na + C 1 0 H 8 - in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) at room temperature produced an air-sensitive transient anion with a tentatively identified nido-[tBUNH-CpFeC 3 B 8 H 1 0 ] 2 - constitution. In-situ reaction of this low-stability ion with [CpFe(CO) 2 I] or [CpFe(CO) 2 ] 2 generated three violet diferratricarbaboranes identified as paramagnetic subcloso complexes [4,5-Cp 2 - -4,5,1,6,7-Fe 2 C 3 B 8 H 1 1 ] (2; yield 2%), [4,5-Cp 2 - -4,5,1,7,12-Fe 2 C 3 B 8 H 1 1 ] (3; yield 2%), and [7-tBuNH-4,5-Cp 2 - -4,5,1,7,12-Fe 2 C 3 B 8 H 1 0 ] (4; yield 14%). These first representatives of t…

Aza and cyanobridged tripodal dinuclear copper(II) complexes: Electrochemical studies and structural evidence for an original azacyanocarbanion

2014

International audience; The reactivity of the mononuclear [Cu(TMPA)(L)] n+ complex (TMPA: tris(2-methylpyridine) amine, L: CH3CN, H2O) towards two different bridging species (tetracyanoethylene, 4,40-bipyridine) was investigated. The dinuclear complex [(mu-4,40-bipy)Cu-II(TMPA)(2)](CF3SO3)(4) (1) was synthesised and analysed by Xray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic studies revealed that this derivative displays very weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the two metal centres (2J = -0.69 cm(-1)). Solution studies (EPR spectroscopy and voltammetry) evidenced the lability of the bridged neutral bipyridine ligand in acetonitrile. The reaction of TCNE (TCNE: tetracyanoethylene) with the copper(…

Synthesis, molecular structures and EPR spectra of the paramagnetic cuboidal clusters with Mo3S4Ga cores

2017

Electron precise [Mo3(l3-S)(l-S)3(diphos)3Br3]Br (diphos = dppe, dmpe) incomplete cuboidal clusters with six cluster skeletal electrons (CSE) were converted into paramagnetic cuboidal [Mo3(GaBr)(l3-S)4- (diphos)3Br3] clusters by treatment with elemental Ga. The new heterobimetallic complexes with nine CSE possess a doublet ground state with the unpaired electron density delocalized over the three molybdenum atoms.
