The decomposition reactions of the lithiated dimer, trimer, and tetramer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in THF at 25°C were investigated. The decomposition of the lithiated dimer proceeds via depolymerization to lithiated monomer and MMA, addition of MMA to residual lithiated dimer, resulting the trimer (“disproportionation” of the dimer), and subsequent autocondensation of the products. The lithiated trimer almost exclusively undergoes cyclo-autocondensation, whereas for the lithiated tetramer both reactions proceed simultaneously to a remarkable degree. It is shown that the relative rate of autocondensation, which is highly dependent on the degree of polymerization of the oligomer, controls…

Luminescence properties of a cofacial dipalladium porphyrin dimer under argon and in the presence of dioxygen

2001

The preparation and luminescence properties of a dipalladium cofacial porphyrin dimer (DPA) Pd 2 (where DPA is the tetraanion of 1,8-bis(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrin-5-yl)anthracene) are reported and compared together with the photophysical behavior of the known monomeric (OEP)Pd and (TPP)Pd complexes. The effect of dioxygen in the presence and in the absence of the very bulky base, 1-t-butyl-5-phenylimidazole, is also investigated. The title dimer, (DPA) Pd 2, shows fluorescence and phosphorescence in the ps and ms time scale, respectively, with a global intensity lower than that of the porphyrin monomer analogues. The fluorescence sensitivity towards dioxygen quenc…

Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of the First Enantiomerically Pure Ortho-Metalated Rhodium(II) Dimer

Synthesis and characterization of the [Ru(η5-C5Me4CF3)(CO)2]2 and Ru6(μ3-H)(η2-μ4-CO)2(μ-CO)(CO)12(η5-C5Me4CF3) complexes

1998

The reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with tetramethyltrifluoromethylcyclopentadiene at various ratios of the reagents was studied. Refluxing of Ru3(CO)12 with a sixfold excess of tetramethyltrifluoromethylcyclopentadiene in octane in an inert atmosphere gave a complex, which is, according to X-ray diffraction data, a dimer,trans-[Ru(η5-C5Me4CF3)(CO)2]2. The reaction under the same conditions but starting from Ru3(CO)12 and C5Me4CF3H in 2∶1 molar ratio gave a hexaruthenium cluster [Ru6(μ3-H)(η2-μ4-CO)2(μ-CO)(Co)12(η5-C5Me4CF2)], which was characterized by IR as well as1H,13C, and19F NMR spectroscopy. According to X-ray diffraction data, an Ru4 tetrahedron, in which two edges are bound by additional “br…

Synthesis and photodimerisation of tetrabenzo[ab,f,jk,o][18]annulenes

1999

Abstract The tetrabenzo[ab,f,jk,o][18]annulenes 7a,b, generated in a 5-step synthesis, show photodimerisation and -oligomerisation reactions in the solid state and in solution. The state of aggregation determines the reaction route. Whereas the cyclodimer 8a has a simple cyclobutane structure, the dimer 8b is a highly symmetrical cyclophane.

Photoinduced electron transfer in supramolecular complexes of a π-extended viologen with porphyrin monomer and dimer

2012

A π-extended viologen has been synthesized, forming supramolecular complexes with a freebase tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) and the cofacial porphyrin dimer with an anthracene spacer [H4(DPA)] through π–π interaction in benzonitrile (PhCN). Formation of the H2TPP-BHV2+ supramolecular complex was probed by UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence of H2TPP was strongly quenched by electron transfer from the singlet excited state (1H2TPP*) to BHV2+ in the supramolecular complex. The transient absorption spectrum of the charge-separated (CS) state (H2TPP•+ and BHV•+) was successfully detected by the laser flash photolysis measurements of the H2TPP-BHV2+ supramolecular complex in PhCN. Th…

ChemInform Abstract: A Theoretical Determination of the Dissociation Energy of the Nitric Oxide Dimer.

2010

Multi-reference CI methods have been applied to determine the dissociation energy and structure of thecis-N2O2 molecule. The convergence of the theoretical result has been checked with respect to a systematic expansion of the one-electron basis set and the multi-reference CI wave function. The best calculated value, 13.8 kJ/mol, is in agreement with the experimental value, 12.2 kJ/mol. It has been obtained with an extended ANO-type basis set [6s5p3d2f], including the effect of the basis set superposition error (BSSE) in the geometry optimization, and additional effects, such as the electron correlation of core electrons and relativistic corrections, using the average coupled pair functional…

Diffusional Relaxation in Dimer Deposition

1992

In deposition of dimers on a 1D lattice substrate, we find by analytical arguments, supported by numerical Monte Carlo simulations, that the effect of added diffusional relaxation is to allow the full, saturation coverage, 100%, for large times. This limiting coverage is approached according to the ~ 1/√t power law preceded, for fast diffusion, by the mean-field crossover regime with the intermediate ~ 1/t behavior.

Membrane Lipid-Polypeptide Molecular Associations in Non Aqueous Solvent. Effect of Phosphatidylcholine Concentration and Temperature and their Influ…

1986

Abstract The use of an Ultrastyragel 500 A column for the study of interactions between phosphatidylcholine and gramicidin A in tetra-hydrofuran is described. Analysis of vacant peak has allowed to establish the influence that eluent lipid composition, concentration of injected gramicidin and temperature have on the interaction. At 20[ddot] C, for the assayed phospholipid concentration range (0.04 to 0.14 %, w/v), the lipid/polypeptide molar binding ratio, BR, varies from 1.3 to 6.9. An increase in temperature from 20 to 40[ddot] C causes a decrease in BR of about 20 %. On the other hand, the interaction releases some of the water bound to the lipid polar head, suggesting that the binding i…
