Expanded aromatic carboxylate anion induced molecular sandwich construction via a tetracationic imidazolium macrocycle conversion from molecular box to molecular tweezer

The molecular box, namely cyclo[2](2,6-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine)-[2](1,4-dimethylene benzene) (1⁴⁺; as PF₆^? salt), fold its conformation as molecular tweezer to clip the specific carboxylates with expanded aromatic plane. The binding modes between 1⁴⁺ and carboxylate, namely pseudorotaxane, outside or clipping (i.e., sandwich like), also depend on the location of carboxylate on the large conjugated moiety. These finding develop the usability of 1⁴⁺ and carboxylates as important building block pairs to create non-covalent self-assembly structures.     

Addition of a Silyl Ketene Acetal to α,β-Unsaturated Cyclic Anhydrides

Addition of [1-methoxy-2 methyl-1-propenyl)-oxy] trimethylsilane (MTS) to unsymmetrical α,β-unsaturated cyclic anhydrides (namely, itaconic anhydride and citraconic anhydride) as well as symmetrical anhydrides (namely, maleic anhydride and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride) was investigated. Itaconic anhydride isomerizes to citraconic anhydride in the presence of MTS. In the presence of Lewis acid catalysts (Yb(OTf)₃/CH₂Cl₂), MTS adds to itaconic anhydride at room temperature in a 1,4-fashion. 1,2-Addition is the preferred pathway with both 2,3-dimethyl maleic anhydride and citraconic anhydride.

S2 fluorescence and ultrafast relaxation dynamics of the S2 and S1 states of a ketocyanine dye

Dynamics of the excited singlet (both the S2 and S1) states of a ketocyanine dye, namely, 2,5-bis[(2,3-dihydroindolyl)-propylene]-cyclopentanone (KCD), have been investigated in different kinds of media using steady-state absorption and emission as well as femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic techniques. Steady-state fluorescence measurements, following photoexcitation of KCD to its second excited singlet state, reveal dual fluorescence (emission from both the S2 and S1 states) behavior. Although the intensity of the S2 --> S0 fluorescence is weaker than that of the S1 --> S0 fluorescence in solutions at room temperature (298 K), the former becomes as much as or more intense than the latter in rigid matrixes at 77 K. The lifetime of the S2 state is short and varies between 0.2 and 0.6 ps in different solvents. After its creation, the S2 state undergoes two simultaneous processes, namely, S2 --> S0 fluorescence and S2 --> S1 internal conversion. Time-resolved measurements reveal the presence of an ultrafast component in the decay dynamics of the S1 state. A good correlation between the lifetime of this component and the longitudinal relaxation times (tauL) of the solvents suggests that this component arises due to solvation in polar solvents. More significant evolution of the spectroscopic properties of the S1 state in alcoholic solvents in the ultrafast time domain has been explained by the occurrence of the repositioning of the hydrogen bonds around the carbonyl group in the excited state of KCD. In 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, a strongly hydrogen bond donating solvent, it has even been possible to establish the existence of two distinct forms of the S1 state, namely, the non-hydrogen-bonded (or free) molecule and the hydrogen-bonded complex.     

Determination of bromophenols as dioxin precursors in combustion gases of fire retarded extruded polystyrene by sorptive sampling-capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is often treated with hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) as fire retardant (FR). Because of its aliphatic structure, HBCD is not suspected to cause formation of polybrominated dioxins upon combustion. Precursors of polybrominated dioxins, namely bromophenols, were detected during tubular furnace combustion experiments of FR-XPS in combination with sorptive enrichment on polydimethylsiloxane followed by on-line thermal desorption-capillary GC/MS. The highest concentration of mono- and tribromophenols detected were 85.9 and 3.7 mg kg(-1), respectively, at a temperature of 700 degrees C, while a temperature of 500 degrees C yielded the highest concentration of dibromophenols namely 10.4 mg kg(-1). At a combustion temperature of 900 degrees C no bromophenols were detected.     

An example of a novel formation of an oxepin

A novel formation of an oxepin, namely 9,10,11,12-tetrafluoro-5,6-dihydrobenzo[b]naphth[2,1-f]oxepin (5) , starting from pentafluoroacetophenone and 1-tetralone is described. Also, the same synthesis using 1-indanone affords a very different ring system namely 1,2,3,4-tetrafluoro-5,11b-dihydro-7H-benzo[c]fluoren-7-one (10) . Both synthesis undergo an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of an ortho-fluorine. In one case, the oxygen displaces the fluorine to afford the oxepin 5 and the other a carbon is used as the nucleophile to give the polycyclic ring system 10 .

Influence of solvent and counter ion on complexes of 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole with iron (II) and (III) studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The effect of solvent and counter ion on the complexes of 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (1) with Fe+2 and Fe+3 has been studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS). As expected, upon ESI conditions the metal reduction proceeds, but it can be deduced that complexes with Fe+2 are favored over those with Fe+3. When methanol is used as solvent, the formation of complexes of stoichiometry 2:1 and 1:1 with counter ion attached (monovalent anion) is favored, for example, [1(2)+FeCl]+ ion. The use of methanol/water (1/1) as solvent favors the formation of complexes of stoichiometry 2:1 and 3:1, namely doubly charged [1(2)+Fe]+2 and [1(3)+Fe]+2 ions. The complexes containing anion of oxidative properties (ClO4-, NO3-), when the higher cone voltage is applied, yield unusual species [1n+FeOm]+ (n=1, 2; m=1, 2). The use of divalent counter ion (SO4(-2)) resulted in formation of complexes containing two iron cations, namely [1n+Fe2SO4]+2 (n=2, 3, 4) ions. These ions can be regarded as Fe-1 complexes bridged by a sulfate anion.

The synthesis involves nucleophilic substitution of the bromine atoms of the parent 2-bromoethyl derivatives of methylenebis(1-oxytriaz-1-ene 2-oxides) with the azide group. Some of the synthesized compounds are of interest as promising energetic materials.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of n-acetyl l-cysteine by 2,6-dichloroindophenol in methanol–water medium

The principal reactants interact in a molar ratio of 2:1 forming dihydroindophenol and the corresponding disulfide. The order of reaction is unity with respect to each reactant, namely, N-acetyl L-cysteine and indophenol. The rate shows an inverse linear relation with hydroxyl ions. It is not influenced by the variation in the initial concentration of indophenol. The rate increases on adding the salts possessing a cholinergic effect and the neutral electrolytes, as well as on increasing the dielectric constant of the medium. The products, namely, N-acetyl L-cystine (disulfide) and the leuco dye, do not influence the rate. A low energy and a highly negative entropy of activation (4.11 kcal/mol and -60.49 e.u., respectively) suggest the formation of an outer sphere complex as the rate-determining step.

A facile synthesis of sprio{1‐aza‐bicyclo‐[3,3,0]‐6‐octene‐8,1′ ‐phenanthrene}‐2′‐ones has been accomplished by [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylide (amy) generated from 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone and different secondary cyclic amino acids, namely, thiazolidine‐4‐carboxylic acid, L‐pyrrolidine‐2‐carboxylic acid (L‐proline), and piperidine‐2‐carboxylic acid (pipecolinic acid) with electron‐deficient dipolarophiles in 67%–79% yield. AM1 calculations have been performed to understand the stereochemical course of the cycloaddition. The products have been characterized by elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques, namely IR, ¹H NMR, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies as well as mass spectrometry. Some of the synthesized cycloadducts showed moderate antioxidant activity. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
