Conjugated Oligomers with Terminal Donor–Acceptor Substitution

2005

Conjugated oligomers represent a prominent class of compounds from a viewpoint of their theory, synthesis, and applications in materials science. Push-pull substitution with an electron donor D at one end of the conjugation and an electron acceptor A at the other end results in them having outstanding optical and electronical properties. This Review highlights fundamental synthetic strategies for the preparation of such oligomers with n repeat units (n=1, 2, 3, 4, ..) and the rules that govern their linear and nonlinear optical properties (absorption, frequency doubling and tripling). The unification of chemical, physical, and theoretical aspects with an interdisciplinary image of this clas…

Efficient Self-Assembly of Di-, Tri-, Tetra-, and Hexavalent Hosts with Predefined Geometries for the Investigation of Multivalency

2015

Coordination-driven self-assembly of differently shaped di- to hexavalent crown-ether host molecules is described. A series of [21]crown-7- and [24]crown-8-substituted bipyridine and terpyridine ligands was synthetized in a "toolbox" approach. Subsequent coordination to 3d transition metal and ruthenium(II) ions provides an easy and fast access to host assemblies with variable valency and pre-defined orientations of the crown-ether moieties. Preliminary isothermal calorimetry (ITC) titrations provided promising results, which indicated the host complexes under study to be suitable for the future investigation of multivalent and cooperative binding. The hosts described herein will also be su…

Silica-Immobilized NHC-Gold(I) Complexes: Versatile Catalysts for the Functionalization of Alkynes under Batch and Continuous Flow Conditions

2017

Immobilized sterically demanding NHC-Au(I) complexes silica-[(IPrR)Au]Cl and silica-[(IAdPrR)Au]Cl are synthesized and characterized. These complexes are suitable catalysts in typical homogeneous Au(I)-catalyzed alkyne reactions such as hydration, hydroamination, hydroarylation, or cycloisomerization. The results obtained with the immobilized catalysts in reactions in batch are comparable to those obtained with their homogeneous counterparts with the advantage of easily recovered and recycled in successive reactions. Their catalytic activity decreases when reused in batch reactions, probably because of crushing that is associated with magnetic stirring. In contrast, these immobilized cataly…

Stereoselective Synthesis of α-Arylalkylamines by Glycosylation-induced Asymmetric Addition of Organometallic Compounds to Imines

2009

Arylalkylamines are of interest as building blocks for the synthesis of biologically active compounds and as chiral ligands or chiral auxiliaries in stereoselective syntheses [1]. Their stereoselective synthesis has been achieved by enantioselective reduction of ketimines using chiral reagents [2], as for example Corey’s oxaborolidines [3], or proline-derived triacyloxyborohydrides [4]. Particularly efficient asymmetric syntheses of chiral arylalkylamines have been accomplished by Noyori et al. [5] through enantioselective catalysis of hydrogen transfer reactions using a chiral 1,2-diphenyl-ethylenediamine ruthenium catalyst. Enantioselective transferhydrogenationshave also been achieved us…

Sterically controlled self-assembly of tetrahedral M(6)L(4) cages via cationic N-donor ligands.

2014

Tripodal cationic N-donor ligands exhibit sterically controlled self-assembly of tetrahedral M6L4 coordination cages that promote selective anion encapsulation (PF6(-)OTf(-)) in the solid state. The described method is a potential template for stepwise assembly of hetero-ligand coordination cages and polymers.

Insight into the synthesis of N-methylated polypeptides

2020

The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxy anhydrides (NCAs) is mostly divided into two classes: NCAs of α-substituted amino acids and N-methylated NCAs of α-unsubstituted glycine derivatives (NNCAs). The use of both monomer types offers different mechanistic features and results in a multitude of functional materials. To combine these properties, the synthesis and ROP of α-substituted and N-methylated NCAs (αNNCAs) of several amino acids were investigated. The current study provides insight into the influence of polymerization conditions and the limitations caused by the enhanced steric demand of the amino acid NCA monomers and their N-methylated derivatives. Namely, the effects of…

A clickable NHC–Au(i)-complex for the preparation of stimulus-responsive metallopeptide amphiphiles

2018

We report the synthesis of an alkyne functionalised NHC-Au(i)-complex which is conjugated with amphiphilic oligopeptides using a copper(i) catalysed cycloaddition. The resulting Au(i)-metalloamphiphiles are shown to self-assemble into charge-regulated stimulus-responsive supramolecular polymers in water via a weakly cooperative polymerisation mechanism.

Conjugated N-acyl pyrazoles are successfully employed in the organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction as ester surrogates.

Cyclodextrin–calixarene co-polymers as a new class of nanosponges

2014

Hyper-reticulated co-polymers jointly formed by cyclodextrin and calixarene units, which can be considered as a new class of nanosponges, were easily obtained by means of a click chemistry approach. In particular, we succeeded in preparing our materials by exploiting the copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction between heptakis-(6-deoxy)-(6-azido)-beta-cyclodextrin and (5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl)-(25,26,27,28-tetra-propargyloxy)-calix-[4]-arene, mixed in different proportions. These materials were fully characterized by means of combined FT-IR, thermogravimetric, C-13 {H-1} CP-MAS NMR and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. In particular, C-13 {H-1} CP-MAS spectr…
