有机-过渡金属配合物的三重态发光问题

近年来,随着OLED器件的发展,有关有机-过渡金属配合物的三重态发光问题受到人们广泛的关注。这不仅是与电致发光器件效率的提高相关联,同时也是一个在光物理研究中值得深入研究的课题.文章对有机-金属化合物激发态的能级分裂,以及发光三重态亚态的零场-分裂(ZFS)等进行了讨论,对具不同电子构型中心金属离子,例如八面体结构与平面四方形构型结构等与它们光物理行为间的关系进行了讨论.特别对这类体系的发光三重态在自旋轨道偶合作用(SOC)和构型相互作用(CI)的影响下,导致单重态与三重态的混合和促进从最低三重态到基态的发光跃迁进行了讨论.     

Conformations of Alternating Partially Fluorinated Copolymers in Dilute Ethanol Solutions

Equimolar copolymers of N-vinyl pyrrolidone with 1,1,1-3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropyl-α-fluoroacrylate were obtained by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer radical (RAFT) polymerization and by conventional radical polymerization (RAD). The copolymer conformation and compositional heterogeneity were analyzed by dynamic and static light scattering. RAFT copolymers of 41,000 ≤ M _w  ≤ 68,000 g/mol were shown to adopt cylindrical all-trans conformation. RAD copolymer of higher molecular mass (M_w = 390,000 g/mol) exhibited less extended conformation, thus indicating that the statistical Kuhn segment is less than RAD copolymer length.     

Formation of a Macrocycles‐in‐a‐Macrocycle Superstructure with All‐gauche Conformation by Reversible Radical Association

The formation of an unprecedented macrocycles‐in‐a‐macrocycle (MIM) superstructure by reversible radical–radical association of a triphenylamine based monomer terminated with three dicyanomethyl radicals is presented. The reaction yield is nearly quantitative and the obtained macrocycle contains three small dimeric macrocycles according to X‐ray crystallographic analysis. The six monomer molecules are linked by nine long dynamic covalent C(sp³)?C(sp³) bonds that all adopt a gauche conformation. Such a conformation favors the formation of a MIM structure rather than a 2D network with an all‐anti conformation. Two enantiomers with left‐/ right‐handed chirality exist in the single crystals of the superstructure.     

Conformational disorder in the propagating radical of dimethacrylate polymers

Photopolymerization of methacrylic monomers yields samples with trapped radicals that are easily detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Despite its simplicity, there is no general agreement about the interpretation of this spectrum, in particular, about the role of methylene β protons. An extensive ENDOR study of the propagating radical in photopolymerized dimethacrylates has been carried out in order to obtain detailed information about methylene hyperfine couplings and, thus, about radical conformation. It is shown that literature models are not able to reproduce the ENDOR results and that only accurate fitting of ENDOR spectra obtained by saturating the EPR spectrum at different positions gives reliable information about radical conformation, thanks to the exploitation of conformational selectivity. It turns out that most radicals are in the minimum energy conformation, but any possible conformation is assumed by non negligible fractions of radical.     

构象对同位乙烯双自由基体系基态自旋多重度及其稳定性影响的理论研究

用DFT,CASSCF和QCISD(T)方法6-31G^*基组计算了构象对同位二取代乙烯双自由基体系基态自旋多重度及其稳定性的影响.结果表明,用DFT或CASSCF方法计算的单、三重态的能量差随自由基与乙烯间的二面角增加成不规则变化;用QCISD(T)方法计算的单、三重态的能量差随二面角的增加而逐渐降低,并呈规律性变化,说明QCISD(T)方法用于计算分子的磁性是可信的.对于同位二取代乙烯双自由基体系,无论双自由基旋转,还是单自由基旋转,高自旋基态稳定性随自由基与乙烯间二面角的增加而降低,只是降低的幅度不同,当二面角接近90°时,同位乙烯由具有平面或近似平面构象时强的铁磁耦合单元变成接近垂直平面构象时弱的反铁磁耦合单元或弱的铁磁耦合单元.     

Synthesis,conformational analysis and free radical scavenging activity of some new spiropyranoquinolinones

A series of novel spiroadamantyl- and spirocyclical substituted pyranoquinolin-2-ones were synthesized and the conformation of the pyran ring was investigated. The free radical scavenging activity of the synthesized compounds was determined by their interaction with the stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). All compounds tested scavenged the DPPH radical and among them derivatives possessing extended conjugation showed the highest activity.     

A study on the conformation-anomeric effect-stereoselectivity relationship in anomeric radical reactions,using conformationally restricted glucose derivatives as substrates

We previously theorized that, since the stereoselectivity of anomeric radical reactions is significantly influenced by the kinetic anomeric effect, which can be controlled by restricting the conformation of the radical intermediate, the proper conformational restriction of the pyranose ring of the substrates would therefore make highly alpha- and beta-stereoselective anomeric radical reactions possible. This theory was based on our previous results of the anomeric radical reactions with d-xylose derivatives as the substrates. We herein report the anomeric radical deuteration reactions with the conformationally restricted 1-phenylseleno-d-glucose derivatives, 2g and 3g, restricted in a (4)C(1)-conformation by an O-cyclic diketal moiety, and 4g, 5g, 6g, 7g, and 8g, restricted in a (1)C(4)-conformation by bulky O-silyl protecting groups. The radical deuterations with Bu(3)SnD, using the (4)C(1)-restricted substrates 2g and 3g, afforded the corresponding alpha-products (alpha/beta = 98:2) highly stereoselectively, whereas the (1)C(4)-restricted substrate 6g, having a trigonal (sp(2)) carbon substituent, i.e., -CHO, at the 5-position, selectively gave the beta-products (alpha/beta = 0:100). Thus, the stereoselectivity was significantly increased by the conformational restriction and was completely inverted by changing the substrate conformation from the (4)C(1)-form to the (1)C(4)-form. On the other hand, the deuterations with the (1)C(4)-restricted substrates 4g and 5g showed that the 1,5-steric effect due to the tetrahedral carbon substituent (-CH(2)OTIPS or -CH(2)OH) at the 5-axial position dominantly prevented the hydride transfer from the beta-face competing with the kinetic anomeric effect. This study suggests that, depending on the restricted conformation of the substrates to the (4)C(1)- or the (1)C(4)-form, the alpha- or beta-products would be obtained highly stereoselectively via anomeric radical reactions of hexopyranoses.     

On the stability and structure of β-fluoro-substituted radical anions of acetamides. An EPR study at 3 K

An EPR study at 3 K of X-ray irradiated monofluoroacetamide does not reveal a radical anion species, despite the fact that the radical anion in trifluoroacetamide is stable at 77 K. This difference in stability has been found to be dependent on the conformation of the -CF₃ group (eclipsed) versus the -CFH₂ group (staggered). The eclipsed conformation permits effective σ-π hyperconjugation in stabilizing the radical anion. An INDO calculation of CF₃CONH₂^? suggests that the radical site is pyramidal rather than planar with a non-planar angle of 32° and a dihedral angle for the eclipsed fluorine, relative to the nearly π-like orbital, of 30°.     

Gamma-radiolysis DNA products: synthesis of 6-(alpha-thyminyl)-5,6-dihydro-4-thiothymine derivatives

Far-UV photolysis of 4-thiothymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine led to the formation of three stable derivatives: one resulting from a combination between a 3'-end methylene radical and a 5'-end C(4) radical [4-(alpha-thyminyl) derivative] and two formed after a combination between a 3'-end methylene radical and a 5'-end C(6) radical [6-(alpha-thyminyl) derivative]. In the latter series, two stereochemical pathways took place during the reaction between the methylene and C(6) radicals. The major pathway occurred when the 5'-base glycosidic bond had an anti conformation leading to an S configuration of the C(6) Tp-end. The minor pathway, which had never been reported before in this series, involved a 5'-base in a syn conformation leading consequently to the R configuration at the C(6) Tp-end. The 5,6-dihydrothymine moiety of these two adducts presented a 5,6-trans diaxial substitution that resulted from the epimerization, at the 5,6-dihydropyrimidine 5-position, of a less stable cis-disubstituted intermediate.     

Aryl sulfoxide radical cations. Generation, spectral properties, and theoretical calculations

Aromatic sulfoxide radical cations have been generated by pulse radiolysis and laser flash photolysis techniques. In water (pulse radiolysis) the radical cations showed an intense absorption band in the UV region (ca. 300 nm) and a broad less intense band in the visible region (from 500 to 1000 nm) whose position depends on the nature of the ring substituent. At very low pulse energy, the radical cations decayed by first-order kinetics, the decay rate increasing as the pH increases. It is suggested that the decay involves a nucleophilic attack of H(2)O or OH(-) (in basic solutions) to the positively charged sulfur atom to give the radical ArSO(OH)CH(3)(*). By sensitized [N-methylquinolinium tetrafluoborate (NMQ(+))] laser flash photolysis (LFP) the aromatic sulfoxide radical cations were generated in acetonitrile. In these experiments, however, only the band of the radical cation in the visible region could be observed, the UV band being covered by the UV absorption of NMQ(+). The lambda(max) values of the bands in the visible region resulted almost identical to those observed in water for the same radical cations. In the LFP experiments the sulfoxide radical cations decayed by second-order kinetics at a diffusion-controlled rate, and the decay is attributed to the back electron transfer between the radical cation and NMQ(*). DFT calculations were also carried out for a number of 4-X ring substituted (X = H, Me, Br, OMe, CN) aromatic sulfoxide radical cations (and their neutral parents). In all radical cations, the conformation with the S-O bond almost coplanar with the aromatic ring is the only one corresponding to the energy minimum. The maximum of energy corresponds to the conformation where the S-O bond is perpendicular to the aromatic ring. The rotational energy barriers are not very high, ranging from 3.9 to 6.9 kcal/mol. In all radical cations, the major fraction of charge and spin density is localized on the SOMe group. However, a substantial delocalization of charge and spin on the ring (almost 50% for the 4-methoxy derivative and around 30% for the other radical cations) is also observed. This suggests some conjugative interaction between the MeSO group and the aromatic system that may become very significant when a strong electron donating substituent like the MeO group is present. The ionization energies (IE) of the 4-X ring substituted neutral aromatic sulfoxides were also calculated, which were found to satisfactorily correlate with the experimental E(p) potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry.
