Excited State N−H Tautomer Selectivity in the Singlet Energy Transfer of a Zinc(II)-Porphyrin-Truxene-Corrole Assembly
2017
International audience; An original corrole-containing polyad for S-1 energy transfer, in which one zinc(II)-porphyrin donor is linked to two free-base corrole acceptors by a truxene linker, is reported. This polyad exhibits a rapid zinc(II)-porphyrin*free-base corrole transfer (4.83x10(10)s(-1); 298K), even faster than the tautomerization in the excited state processes taking advantage of the good electronic communication provided by the truxene bridge. Importantly, the energy transfer process shows approximately 3-fold selectivity for one corrole N-H tautomer over the other even at low temperature (77K). This selectivity is due to the difference in the J-integral being effective in both t…
Molecular structures of Se(SCH3)2 and Te(SCH3)2 using gas-phase electron diffraction and ab initio and DFT geometry optimisations
2005
The molecular structures of Se(SCH3)2 and Te(SCH3)2 were investigated using gas-phase electron diffraction (GED) and ab initio and DFT geometry optimisations. While parameters involving H atoms were refined using flexible restraints according to the SARACEN method, parameters that depended only on heavy atoms could be refined without restraints. The GED-determined geometric parameters (rh1) are: rSe-S 219.1(1), rS-C 183.2(1), rC-H 109.6(4) pm; S-Se-S 102.9(3), Se-S-C 100.6(2), S-C-H (mean) 107.4(5), S-Se-S-C 87.9(20), Se-S-C-H 178.8(19)° for Se(SCH3)2, and rTe-S 238.1(2), rS-C 184.1(3), rC-H 110.0(6) pm; S-Te-S 98.9(6), Te-S-C 99.7(4), S-C-H (mean) 109.2(9), S-Te-S-C 73.0(48), Te-S-C-H 180.…
