Synthesis and Dehydrobromination of 3-Bromomethyl- and 3-Bromo-3-methoxymethylcyclobutane-1-carbonitriles and Methyl 3-Bromomethyl- and 3-Bromo-3-methoxymethylcyclobutane-1-carboxylates

The anti-Markownikoff products of bromination and bromomethoxylation of 3-methylenecyclobutane-1-carbonitrile and methyl 3-methylenecyclobutane-1-carboxylate were subjected to dehydrobromination by the action of potassium tert-butoxide in THF. The reaction takes two elimination pathways: 1,3-dehydrobromination to give bicyclobutane derivatives and 1,2-dehydrobromination leading to substituted methylenecyclobutane. Structural factors in the substrate were revealed, which are responsible for the ratio of the two concurrent elimination processes.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of BaAgTbS3, BaCuGdTe3, BaCuTbTe3, BaAgTbTe3, and CsAgUTe3

Five new quaternary chalcogenides of the 1113 family, namely BaAgTbS₃, BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and CsAgUTe₃, were synthesized by the reactions of the elements at 1173–1273 K. For CsAgUTe₃ CsCl flux was used. Their crystal structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. The sulfide BaAgTbS₃ crystallizes in the BaAgErS₃ structure type in the monoclinic space group C³,_2h‐C2/m, whereas the tellurides BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and CsAgUTe₃ crystallize in the KCuZrS₃ structure type in the orthorhombic space group D¹_,2⁷_,h‐Cmcm. The BaAgTbS₃ structure consists of edge‐sharing [TbS₆^9–] octahedra and [AgS₅^9–] trigonal pyramids. The connectivity of these polyhedra creates channels that are occupied by Ba atoms. The telluride structure features ²_∞[MLnTe₃^2–] layers for BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and ²_∞[AgUTe₃^1–] layers for CsAgUTe₃. These layers comprise [MTe₄] tetrahedra and [LnTe₆] or [UTe₆] octahedra. Ba or Cs atoms separate these layers. As there are no short Q ··· Q (Q = S or Te) interactions these compounds achieve charge balance as Ba²⁺M⁺Ln³⁺(Q^2–)₃ (Q = S and Te) and Cs⁺Ag⁺U⁴⁺(Te^2–)₃.     

3-cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene and 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropyne Synthesis and chemical properties

3-Cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene was synthesized by the reactions of mono- or dibromoferrocenylcyclopropanes with Bu^tOK in DMSO. Treatment of dibromoferro-cenylcyclopropane with Bu^tOK in THF afforded 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropyne in 52% yield. Heterolysis of the C-C bond in the three-membered ring of 3-cyclobutyl-3-ferrocenylcyclopropene at low and high temperatures was studied. Hydrolysis yielded 3-cyclobutyl-1H-cyclopentaferrocene and products with linear structures,viz., 3-cyclobutylidene-3-ferrocenylpropene,E- andZ-I-ferrocenyl-1-cyclobutylpropenes, and 1-cyclobutylidene-1-ferrocenylacetone. Cyclopropene reacts with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran to form two Diels-Alder adducts, while the enyne does not react with 1,3-diphenylbenzofuran.

Synthesis of Purine and Pyrimidine 3'-Amino-3'-deoxy- and 3'-Amino-2',3'-dideoxyxylonucleosides

A general procedure to obtain the 3'-aminoxylonucleosides 13a,b and 17a,b is presented. The synthetic scheme is based on the 5' directed intramolecular nucleophilic substitution at the 3'-activated position of the nucleoside. The approach of the incoming group to this position takes place regio- and stereoselectively from the most hindered face of the nucleoside. The methodology presented is applicable to ribonucleosides and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides, regardless of their nitrogenated base.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Novel Ternary Thioborates Na3BS3, K3BS3, and Rb3BS3

The orthothioborates Na₃BS₃, K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ were prepared from the metal sulfides, amorphous boron and sulfur in solid state reactions at temperatures between 923 and 973 K. In a systematic study on the structural cation influence on this type of ternary compounds, the crystal structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction experiments. Na₃BS₃ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with a = 11.853(14) Å, b = 6.664(10) Å, c = 8.406(10) Å, β = 118.18(2)° and Z = 4. K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c (No. 14) with a = 10.061(3) Å, b = 6.210(2) Å, c = 12.538(3) Å, β = 112.97(2) and a = 10.215(3) Å, b = 6.407(1) Å, c = 13.069(6) Å, β = 103.64(5)°, Z = 4. The potassium and rubidium compounds are not isotypic. All three compounds contain isolated [BS₃]^3– anions with boron in a trigonal‐planar coordination. The sodium cations in Na₃BS₃ are located between layers of orthothioborate anions, in the case of K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ stacks of [BS₃]^3– entities are connected via the corresponding cations. X‐ray powder patterns were measured and compared to calculated ones obtained from single crystal X‐ray structure determinations.     

Freezing the polarization of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite films

Thin films of methylammonium lead halides, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI_3-xCl_x, were deposited onto symmetrical microstructured electrode arrays of gold or platinum on Si/SiO₂ wafers. Polarization studies were carried out on perovskite films under vacuum in the dark. For poling, a constant voltage was applied to the samples while the temperature was cycled between 295 K and 4 K. The measured current densities depending on the temperature showed distinct characteristics relating strongly to the crystal phase and the dielectric properties of the perovskite films. Voltage sweeps were carried out at different scan rates at specific temperature intervals after poling. The polarization of the films due to the migration of iodide vacancies in direction of the blocking perovskite/metal interface was frozen almost up to room temperature. Charge carriers were only able to cross the blocking barrier and contribute to the current where the ions have accumulated during poling. All J-V curves showed hysteresis: inverted and regular hysteresis at room temperature and below, respectively. Inverted hysteresis originates from the slow accumulation of ions at the blocking barrier, while regular hysteresis arises from a distortion in the adjacent crystals which will be discussed.
