Synthesis of Giant π-Extended Molecular Macrocyclic Rings as Finite Models of Carbon Nanotubes Displaying Enriched Size-Dependent Physical Properties

Bottom-up synthesis of π-extended macrocyclic carbon rings is promising for constructing length- and diameter-specific carbon nanotubes (CNTs). However, it is still a great challenge to realize size-controllable giant carbon macrocycles. Herein, a tunable synthesis of curved nanographene-based giant π-extended macrocyclic rings (CHBC[n]s; n=8, 6, 4), as finite models of armchair CNTs, is reported. Among them, CHBC[8] contains 336 all-carbon atoms and is the largest cyclic conjugated molecular CNT segment ever reported. CHBC[n]s were systematically characterized by various spectroscopic methods and applied in photoelectrochemical cells for the first time. This revealed that the proton chemical shifts, fluorescence, and electronic and photoelectrical properties of CHBC[n]s are highly dependent on the macrocycle diameter. The tunable bottom-up synthesis of giant macrocyclic rings could pave the way towards large π-extended diameter- and chirality-specific CNT segments.     

Comparative Study of the Supercapacitive Performance of Three Ferrocene-Based Structures: Targeted Design of a Conductive Ferrocene-Functionalized Coordination Polymer as a Supercapacitor Electrode

As redox-active based supercapacitors are known as highly desirable next-generation supercapacitor electrodes, the targeted design of two ferrocene-functionalized (Fc(COOH)₂) clusters based on coinage metals, [(PPh₃)₂AgO₂CFcCO₂Ag(PPh₃)₂]₂ ⋅ 7 CH₃OH (SC₁: super capacitor) and [(PPh₃)₃CuO₂CFcCO₂Cu(PPh₃)₃] ⋅ 3 CH₃OH (SC₂), is reported. Both structures are fully characterized by various techniques. The structures are utilized as energy storage electrode materials, giving 130 F g⁻¹ and 210 F g⁻¹ specific capacitance at 1.5 A g⁻¹ in Na₂SO₄ electrolyte, respectively. The obtained results show that the presence of Cu^I instead of Ag^I improves the supercapacitive performance of the cluster. Further, to improve the conductivity, the PSC₂ ([(PPh₃)₂CuO₂CFcCO₂]_∞), a polymeric structure of SC₂, was synthesized and used as an energy storage electrode. PSC₂ displays high conductivity and gives 455 F g⁻¹ capacitance at 3 A g⁻¹. The PSC₂ as a supercapacitor electrode presents a high power density (2416 W kg⁻¹), high energy density (161 Wh kg⁻¹), and long cycle life over 4000 cycles (93 %). These results could lead to the amplification of high-performance supercapacitors in new areas to develop real applications and stimulate the use of the targeted design of coordination polymers without hybridization or compositions with additive materials.     

Facile amidation of esters with aromatic amines promoted by lanthanide tris (amide) complexes

The development of catalysts capable of catalyzing amidation of esters with amines to construct amides under mild conditions is of great importance. Compared to aliphatic amines, the direct catalytic amidation of esters with less nucleophilic aromatic amines is rather difficult. Employing simple lanthanide tris (amide) complexes Ln[N (SiMe₃)₂]₃(μ-Cl)Li (THF)₃ as the catalysts, it was found a broad range of aromatic amines and esters were efficiently converted into various amides in good yields under mild conditions. A plausible mechanism for this transformation was experimentally supported as starting from an amide exchange reaction between the lanthanide tris (amide) complex and the substrate amine.

Heteroleptic [Cu(NN)P2]+-type cuprous complexes and their structural modulation on phosphorescent color: Synthesis,structural characterization,properties, and theoretical calculations

Four new heteroleptic [Cu(NN)P₂]⁺-type cuprous complexes— 1 -TPP, 2 -POP, 3 -Xantphos, and 4 -DPPF—were designed and synthesized using a diimine ligand 2-(2′-pyridyl)benzoxazole (2-PBO) and different phosphine ligands (TPP, triphenylphosphine; POP, bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether; Xantphos, 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene; DPPF, 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene). All complexes were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic analysis (infrared, UV–Vis.), elemental analysis, and photoluminescence (PL). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed complexes 1 – 4 as isolated cation complex structures with a tetrahedral CuN₂P₂ coordination geometry and diverse P–Cu–P angles. Their UV–Vis. absorption spectra exhibited a blue-shift sequence in wavelength with an enlarged P–Cu–P angle from 4 to 2 then to 3 and then to 1 . The PL emission peaks of 1 – 3 also exhibited a similar blue-shift sequence ( 2 → 3 → 1 ). Their PL lifetime in microseconds (~7.5, 5.1, and 4.7 μs for 1 , 2 , and 3 , respectively) indicated that their PL behavior represents phosphorescence. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculation and wavefunction analysis revealed that S₁ and T₁ states of 1 – 3 should be assigned as metal–ligand and ligand–ligand charge-transfer (ML + L'L)CT states. Their UV–Vis. absorption and phosphorescence should be attributed to the charge transfer from the P–Cu–P segment to the 2-PBO ligand. Therefore, as the P–Cu–P angle increased (lower HOMO), the energy of S₁ and T₁ states also increased, following the change of PL color.
