Humidity-Driven Reversible Transformation and Guest Inclusion in a Two-Dimensional Coordination Framework Tailored by Organic Polyamine Cation
2011
Using a polyamine cation tetrenH55+ (tetren = tetraethylenepentaamine), we tailored the dynamic layered material (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}4·xH2O (1, M = W, x = 12; 2, M = Mo, x = 11.2). 1 and 2 consist of strongly corrugated two-dimensional (2D) cyano-bridged monolayers {CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}n2n– of square grid topology stacked in an alternate manner with cationic layers of tetrenH55+ and H2O molecules. The observed single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation is due to the reversible dehydration of 1 and 2 to the respective monocrystalline materials (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII[MIV(CN)8]}4 (1deh and 2deh). Structural modifications consist of the change of coordination number (C.N…
Dimeric capsules of tetraurea calix[4]arenes. MD simulations and X-ray structure, a comparison
2002
The single crystal X-ray structure of a homodimer of a tetra(tolylurea) calix[4]arene including a tetraethylammonium cation as guest shows an expansion of the capsule and a distortion of its shape, in comparison to the structure of a similar dimer with an encapsulated benzene molecule. Thus, only 8 of 16 possible hydrogen bonds are present in the hydrogen bonded belt holding together the two hemispheres. The encapsulated cation is disordered over two equivalent positions with two methyl groups pointing to the equator, while two methyl groups pointing to the poles form CH–π interactions with the inner surfaces of the calixarene cavities. MD simulations are in agreement with the distorted X-r…
Very close I⋯As and I⋯Sb interactions in trimethylpnictogen-pentafluoroiodobenzene cocrystals
2022
The cocrystals (CH3)3As·C6F5I (1) and (CH3)3Sb·C6F5I (2) were generated in situ from equimolar mixtures of their components. 1 and 2 show very close I⋯As and I⋯Sb directional intermolecular interactions. They are 0.5 and 0.7 Å shorter than the sums of van der Waals radii, respectively, and are the shortest C–I⋯As and C–I⋯Sb halogen bonds of this type found for experimentally characterized molecular (co)crystals. Comparisons of the packing motifs and contacts in 1 and 2 with those in (CH3)3As (3), (CH3)3Sb (4) and C6F5I (5) illustrate the occurrence and hierarchy of the specific interactions. The heteromolecular components in 1 and 2 are assembled by I⋯As, I⋯Sb and F⋯H interactions. There ar…
Die stufenweise Synthese von 4,11,18,25-Tetra-tert-butyl-[1.1.1.1]metacyclophan-7,14,21,28-tetraol und 4,11-Dimethyl-[1.1.1.1]-metacyclophan-7,14,21,…

Two phenolic alcohols with four phenolic units in their molecules are obtained by stepwise synthesis starting from simple phenolic derivatives. The phenolic alcohols are cyclized by boiling of a diluted solution in acetic acid. A third cyclic compound is obtained by debutylation of that cyclic compound which contains two neighbouringtert-butyl groups and two methyl groupspara to the phenolic hydroxyl groups.
Light-controlled reversible modulation of frontier molecular orbital energy levels in trifluoromethylated diarylethenes
2017
Among bistable photochromic molecules, diarylethenes (DAEs) possess the distinct feature that upon photoisomerization they undergo a large modulation of their π-electronic system, accompanied by a marked shift of the HOMO/LUMO energies and hence oxidation/reduction potentials. The electronic modulation can be utilized to remote-control charge- as well as energy-transfer processes and it can be transduced to functional entities adjacent to the DAE core, thereby regulating their properties. In order to exploit such photoswitchable systems it is important to precisely adjust the absolute position of their HOMO and LUMO levels and to maximize the extent of the photoinduced shifts of these energ…
New insights on the electronic, magnetic, electric and molecular structure of a bis-(4-cyanopyridine) iron(III) complex with the meso-tetrakis(4-meth…
2019
International audience; We have successfully synthesized and characterized a new low-spin iron(III) bis(4-cyanopyridine) complex with a meso-porphyrin substituted in the para positions of the phenyls by the methoxy group, namely the bis(4-cyanopyridine)[(meso-tetrakis(4-metoxyphenylporphyrinato)]iron(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate chlorobenzene monosolvate complex with the formula [FeIII(TMPP)(4-CNpy)2]SO3CF3.C6H5Cl (I). This species was characterized through ultraviolet–visible, Fourier-transform infrared and Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as by SQUID magnetometry, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. These characterizations indicated that our synthetic heme model is a low-spin (…
Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cycloaddition of Allenamides with α,β-Unsaturated Hydrazones: Efficient Access to Highly Substituted Cyclobutanes
2014
α,β-Unsaturated N,N-dialkyl hydrazones undergo a mild [2 + 2] cycloaddition to allenamides when treated with a suitable gold catalyst. The method, which represents the first application of N,N-dialkyl hydrazones in gold catalysis, is compatible with a wide variety of substituents at the alkenyl moiety of the hydrazone component, proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity, and provides densely substituted cyclobutanes with good to excellent yields.
The electronic spectra of 2-(2′-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole and 2-(2′-methoxybenzoyl)pyrrole: a theoretical study
2005
The gas-phase electronic spectra of 2-(2 0 -hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole and 2-(2 0 -methoxybenzoyl)pyrrole have been determined using multiconfigurational perturbation theory (CASPT2). Solvatochromic spectral shifts for these molecules have been measured in cyclohexane and methanol and the electrostatic components of these shifts have been estimated using the vertical electrostatic model (VEM 4.2) developed for the configuration interaction with single excitations model implemented with the intermediate neglect of differential overlap Hamiltonian (CIS/INDO/ S2). Comparison between theory and experiment and an interpretation of the main spectral differences between the two substituted pyrroles an…
From Hexaphenylbenzene to 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexacyclohexylcyclohexane
2020
The hydrogenation of hexaphenylbenzene was studied, affording novel partially hydrogenated hexacyclohexylbenzene (HCB) as well as fully hydrogenated 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexacyclohexylcyclohexane (HCC) as an unprecedented “oligocyclohexyl” molecule. The reaction process was analyzed by mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and high-performance liquid chromatography. From a crude product mixture, two different crystals with flake- and block-shapes could be grown and analyzed by X-ray crystallography, revealing their structures as HCB and HCC. While a geared arrangement of cyclohexyl substitutes was found in HCB, two isomeric structures were identified in HCC crystal with cha…

1990
Thermal Diels-Alder Reactions with N-(2-Alkenoyl)-(S)-proline Esters as Chiral Dienophiles Cyclopentadiene reacts with N-acryloyl-(S)-proline benzyl and allyl ester in toluene at 0°C to give the bicycloheptene-carboxylic acid amides with a stereoselection of (2S):(2R) = 81:19. In the reactions with the N,N′-fumaroylbis(proline esters) the cycloadducts are formed in high yields and with isomer ratios of up to 97:3. The absolute configuration of N,N′-〈(1R,2R,3R,4S)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-diyldicarbonyl〉bis-[(S)-proline benzyl ester] (6 a) has been determined by an X-ray analysis. In the reactions of the acrylamides with cyclopentadiene and of the fumaramides with cyclopentadiene, isopre…
