Gold/Isophorone Interaction Driven by Keto/Enol Tautomerization
2016
The binding behavior of isophorone (C9H14O) to Au adatoms and clusters deposited on MgO/Ag(001) thin films is investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). The STM data reveal the formation of various metal/organic complexes, ranging from Au1/isophorone pairs to larger Au aggregates with molecules bound to their perimeter. DFT calculations find the energetically preferred keto-isophorone to be unreactive toward gold, while the enol-tautomer readily binds to Au monomers and clusters. The interaction is governed by electrostatic forces between the hydroxyl group of the enol and negative excess charges residing on the ad-gold. The activation barrier b…
9,10-Phenanthrenedione as Visible-Light Photoredox Catalyst: A Green Methodology for the Functionalization of 3,4-Dihydro-1,4-Benzoxazin-2- Ones thro…
2018
A visible-light photoredox functionalization of 3,4-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazin-2-ones through a Friedel-Crafts reaction with indoles using an inexpensive organophotoredox catalyst is described. The reaction uses a dual catalytic system that is formed by a photocatalyst simple and cheap, 9,10-phenanthrenedione, and a Lewis acid, Zn(OTf)2. 5W white LEDs are used as visible-light source and oxygen from air as a terminal oxidant, obtaining the corresponding products with good yields. The reaction can be extended to other electron-rich arenes. Our methodology represents one of the most valuable and sustainable approach for the functionalization of 3,4-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazin-2-ones, as compared to th…
A concise route to MK-4482 (EIDD-2801) from cytidine.
2020
A two-step route to MK-4482 (EIDD-2801, 1) was developed consisting of an esterification and hydroxamination of cytidine. The selective acylation and direct amination eliminate the need for protecting and activating groups and proceed in overall yield of 75%, a significant advancement over the reported yield of 17%. The step count is reduced from five transformations to two, and expensive uridine is replaced with the more available cytidine.
Nucleophilic iodonium interactions (NIIs) in 2-coordinate iodine(i) and silver(i) complexes
2021
The generality of nucleophilic iodonium interactions (NIIs) has been demonstrated by preparing a range of silver(i) and iodonium (I+) complexes and studying their 15N NMR chemical shifts, with the first example of a NII-complex involving a 2-coordinate silver(i) complex being confirmed by X-ray crystallography, and its nucleophilicity studied by DFT calculations.
Spiro-fused bis-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene.
2018
A spiro-fused hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene dimer was synthesized, and its physicochemical properties were studied by UV-Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry. Chemical oxidation of SB-HBC afforded its radical cation and dication derivatives, which could be reversibly reduced to the neutral state.
TiO2 Nanoparticles Functionalized with Non-innocent Ligands Allow Oxidative Photocyanation of Amines with Visible/Near-Infrared Photons
2018
Photosynthesis is an efficient mechanism for converting solar light energy into chemical energy. We report on a strategy for the aerobic photocyanation of tertiary amines with visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. Panchromatic sensitization was achieved by functionalizing TiO2 with a 2-methylisoquinolinium chromophore, which captures essential features of the extended π-system of 2,7-diazapyrenium (DAP2+) dications or graphitic carbon nitride. Two phenolic hydroxy groups make this ligand highly redox-active and allow for efficient surface binding and enhanced electron transfer to the TiO2 surface. Non-innocent ligands have energetically accessible levels that allow redox reactions to chang…
N,N′-Disubstituted Indigos as Readily Available Red-Light Photoswitches with Tunable Thermal Half-Lives
2017
Some rare indigo derivatives have been known for a long time to be photochromic upon irradiation with red light, which should be advantageous for many applications. However, the absence of strategies to tune their thermal half-lives by modular molecular design as well as the lack of proper synthetic methods to prepare a variety of such molecules from the parent indigo dye have so far precluded their use. In this work, several synthetic protocols for N-functionalization have been developed, and a variety of N-alkyl and N-aryl indigo derivatives have been prepared. By installation of electron-withdrawing substituents on the N-aryl moieties, the thermal stability of the Z-isomers could be enha…
Hybrid Molecular Materials Based upon Magnetic Polyoxometalates and Organic π-Electron Donors: Syntheses, Structures, and Properties of Bis(ethylene…

International audience; The syntheses, crystal structures, and physical properties of the series of radical salts made with bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF or ET) and monosubstituted α-Keggin polyoxoanions of formula [XZ(H2O)M11O39]5- (XZM11 = Si(IV)Fe(III)Mo11, Si(IV)Cr(III)W11, P(V)Con(II)W11, P(V)Ni(II)W11, P(V)Cu(II)W11 P(V)Zn(II)W11, P(V)Mn(II)W11, and P(V)Mn(II)Mo11) containing a magnetic metal ion Z on a peripheral octahedral site of the Keggin union are reported. They all crystallize in two related series called α2 and α3. The general structure consists of alternating layers of the organic donor and the Keggin polyoxometalates. While the stoichiometry and α-packing a…
A decacobalt(ii) cluster with triple-sandwich structure obtained by partial reductive hydrolysis of a pentacobalt(ii/iii) Weakley-type polyoxometalat…
2016
Partial reductive hydrolysis of a penta-CoII/III cluster [CoII4(H2O)2(CoIIIW9O34)(PW9O34)]12− (1) leads to the formation of [Co2{Co3(H2O)(Co(OH)2W7O26)(PW9O34)}2]22− (2). This polyoxometalate is made up of two capping [PW9O34]9− units and two bridging [W7O26]10− units that assemble to encapsulate a novel deca-CoII cluster core comprising octahedral and tetrahedral CoII ions.
