Diborheterocyclen: Oxadiborolan – Oxadiborinan – Diazadiborinan

Synthesis and Reactivity of 2,2,4,4–Tetrakis(tri–tert–butoxysilanethiolato)–1,3,2,4–dithiadistannetane – Crystal and Molecular Structures of Two Polymorphic Forms

The title compound, [Sn(μ–S){SSi(O^tBu)₃}₂]₂ ( 1 ), containing four–coordinated tin(IV), crystallizes in two polymorphic modifications. The orthorhombic 1a –form has been obtained in the reaction of (^tBuO)₃SiSH and Et₃N with SnCl₂, whereas the triclinic 1b –form in the reaction with SnCl₄ as substrate. The crystal and molecular structures of both polymorphs ( 1a as a redetermination) have been determined by a single–crystal X–ray diffraction study at room temperature. The title compound was shown to react with ammonia and ammonia complexes of some d–block metal cations giving products of Sn–S bond cleavage.     

Darstellung,Kristallstrukturen und Schwingungsspektren von Verbindungen mit den linearen Dipnictidoborat(3–)‐Anionen [P–B–P]3–, [As–B–As]3– und [P–B–As]3–

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Vibrational Spectra of Compounds with the Linear Dipnictidoborate (3–) Anions [P–B–P]^3–, [As–B–As]^3–, and [P–B–As]^3– The alkali metal boron compounds M₃[BX₂] with X = P, As are synthesized from the alkali metals M and the binary components MX or M₄X₆ and BX in sealed steel ampoules (phosphides) or niobium ampoules (arsenides) at 1000 K. The compounds are obtained as bright yellow prisms (M₃[BP₂]) or plates (K₂Na[BP₂]) and yellow‐red prismatic crystals (M₃[BAs₂], Cs₃[BPAs]) which are very sensitive against oxidation and hydrolysis. Three different structure types are formed, namely K₂Na[BP₂] (C2/m (No. 12); Z = 4; a new mC24 structure type); Na₃[BP₂] (P2₁/c (No. 14); Z = 4, β‐Li₃[BN₂] type), M₃[BX₂] with M = K, Rb, Cs and X = P, As and Cs₃[P–B–As] (C2/c, (No. 15); Z = 4, K₃[BP₂] type). The bond lengths of the linear [BX₂]^3– anions are hardly changed and correspond to a Pauling bond order PBO = 1.9 (d(B–P) = 176.7–177.1 pm; d(B–As) = 186.5–188.0 pm). The vibrational spectra confirm the existence of unmixed and mixed units [P–B–P]^3–, [As–B–As]^3– and [P–B–As]^3– with D_∞h and C_∞v symmetry, respectively. The valence force constants f(B–X) and the corresponding Siebert bond orders, calculated from the frequencies, are discussed and compared with those of the isoelectronic anions and molecules.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Ultraviolet–Visible Spectrum of 8–Substituted–10,10–Dimethyl–10H–pyrido[1,2–a]indolium Perchlorates–Containing Thienyl Moiety

Two novel compounds, 8–[2–(2–thienyl)vinyl]–10,10–dimethyl–10H–pyrido[1,2–a] indolium perchlorate ( 3a ) and 8–[2–(5–phenyl–2–thienyl)vinyl]–10,10–dimethyl–10H–pyrido[1,2–a]indolium perchlorate ( 3b ) were synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H–NMR, elemental analyses, and X–ray diffraction. Crystal structural analysis suggested that either 3a or 3b exhibited good coplanarity and rings and vinyl in the target molecule could make up a large conjugated system. Ultraviolet–visible absorption analysis indicated both 3a and 3b possessed large maximum absorptions, and 3b underwent a significant redshift (43.0 nm) in comparison with 3a .     

Two phosphonodehydrotripeptides: Boc0–Gly1–Δ(Z)Phe2–α‐Abu3PO3Me2 and Boc0–Gly1–Δ(Z)Phe2–α‐Nva3PO3Et2

The present paper reports the crystal structures of two short phosphonotripeptides (one in two crystal forms) containing one ΔPhe (dehydrophenylalanine) residue, namely dimethyl (3‐{[tert‐butoxycarbonylglycyl‐α,β‐(Z)‐dehydrophenylalanyl]amino}propyl)phosphonate, Boc⁰–Gly¹–Δ(Z)Phe²–α‐Abu³PO₃Me₂, C₂₁H₃₂N₃O₇P, (I), and diethyl (4‐{[tert‐butoxycarbonylglycyl‐α,β‐(Z)‐dehydrophenylalanyl]amino}butyl)phosphonate, Boc⁰–Gly¹–Δ(Z)Phe²–α‐Nva³PO₃Et₂, as the propan‐2‐ol monosolvate 0.122‐hydrate, C₂₄H₃₈N₃O₇P·C₃H₈O·0.122H₂O, (II), and the ethanol monosolvate 0.076‐hydrate, C₂₄H₃₈N₃O₇P·C₂H₆O·0.076H₂O, (III). The crystals of (II) and (III) are isomorphous but differ in the type of solvent. The phosphono group is linked directly to the last C_α atom in the main chain for all three peptides. All the amino acids are trans linked in the main chains. The crystal structures exhibit no intramolecular hydrogen bonds and are stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds only.     

[Bis(tetrahydrofuran–O)–bis(1,3–dialkyl–2–diphenylphosphanyl–1,3–diazaallyl)calcium] – Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Calcium Bis[phospha(III)guanidinates] and Investigations of Catalytic Activity

The reaction of [(thf)₄Ca(PPh₂)₂] ( 1 ) with diisopropyl– and dicyclohexylcarbodiimides yields the phospha(III)guanidinates [(thf)₂Ca{RNC(PPh₂)NR}₂] with R = isopropyl ( 2 ) and cyclohexyl ( 3 ). The metathesis reaction of K{RNC(PPh₂)NR} with anhydrous CaI₂ also allows the synthesis of these phospha(III)guanidinate complexes 2 and 3 . For 2 a cis arrangement is observed whereas 3 crystallizes as trans isomer. The phospha(III)guanidinates act as bidentate chelate bases with an average Ca–N distance of 242.5 pm. The C–P bond length between the PPh₂ fragment and the 1,3–diazaallyl unit is with values above 190 pm very large. The complexes 2 and 3 show a moderate catalytic activity in hydrophosphanylation reactions of dialkylcarbodiimides with diphenylphosphane.     

A Unified Strategy to 6–5–6–5–6‐Membered Epipolythiodiketopiperazines: Studies towards the Total Synthesis of Scabrosin Diacetate and Haematocin

The family of epipolythiodiketopiperazine (ETP) natural products consists of over 200 members possessing a wide diversity of structures and biological activity. Recently, the subgroup of 6–5–6–5–6‐membered ETPs has gained substantial attention, which has resulted in several total syntheses. Despite all the efforts that have been invested into accessing these complex structures, no synthesis of scabrosin diacetate ( 1 a ) and its related esters has been reported. Herein, our attempts towards scabrosin diacetate ( 1 a ) and haematocin ( 3 ) starting from diketopiperazine 12 a as a late‐stage intermediate are presented. Diketopiperazine 12 a can be conveniently accessed in multigram quantities from aldehyde 18 and diketopiperazine 21 and was envisioned to serve as a general platform for the synthesis of 6–5–6–5–6‐membered ETPs.     

D–π–A–π–A Strategy to Design Benzothiadiazole–carbazole‐based Conjugated Polymer with High Solar Cell Voltage and Enhanced Photocurrent

The theoretical calculations are used to find that D–π–A–π–A style conjugated polymer PC‐TBTBT is more efficient for solar cells application than the D–π–A analog PC‐TBT because the D–π–A–π–A structure has a narrower band gap and higher molar absorption coefficient and redshift spectrum. Motivated by the theoretical prediction, 5,6‐bis(octyloxy)‐2,1,3‐benzothiadiazole and 2,7‐carbazole are adopted to synthesize the D–π–A–π–A style PC‐TBTBT (M_w = 31.1 kDa) and D–π–A analog PC‐TBT (M_w = 87.5 kDa) by Suzuki coupling reaction. Experimental results confirm that D–π–A–π–A PC‐TBTBT ‐based solar cell shows a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.74% with high V_OC of 0.99 V and enhanced J_SC of 9.70 mA cm⁻². The PCE and J_SC achieve improvements of 17% and 26%, respectively, compared to the D–π–A PC‐TBT ‐based solar cell.

     

D–π–A polysulfones for blue electroluminescence

Donor–π–acceptor type fluorene‐based copolymers with a sulfone unit were designed and synthesized for application in efficient pure‐blue light emitting. The electroluminescence behaviors of these copolymers were investigated by fabricating light‐emitting diodes and electrochemical cell devices. The former device little functioned but the latter worked well. The electrochemical cell devices having a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/copolymer:ionic liquid/Al exhibited purplish blue electroluminescence with an emission maximum at 434 nm (CIE coordinates (x, y) = (0.17, 0.10)) measured at 7 V. The initial positive scan of the D–π–A polysulfone based light emitting electrochemical cell with a sweep rate of 0.1 V s^?1 afforded a maximum luminance of 1080 cd m^?2 with a current efficiency of 1.96 cd A^?1 at an operating voltage of 12.5 V. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
