Octahedral CuII and NiII complexes manifesting with N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene] acetohydrazide: Structural outlooks and spectral characteristics

A tridentate hydrazone precursor, N′-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]acetohydrazide (L) (1:1 refluxed product of acetichydrazide and 2-acetylpyridine), produced two octahedral Cu^II and Ni^II derivatives, [CuL₂]·NO₃ (1) and [NiL₂]·ClO₄·H₂O (2). Both are subjected to X-ray diffraction system, and structural investigation shows that the central metal atom (Cu^II or Ni^II) adopts a distorted octahedral geometry with N₄O₂ donor sets by coordination of a pair of independent hydrazone precursors. Besides X-ray study, IR and UV-vis spectra, thermal analysis and room temperature magnetic moments are utilized for establishing significant characteristics of both complexes. It is apparent that the M-N_pyridine bonds are slightly longer than the M-N_imino bonds, Cu1-N1 and Cu1-N4 [2.300(2) and 2.038(2) ?] for 1 and Ni1-N1 and Ni1-N4 [2.075(2) and 2.084(1) ?] for 2, Cu1-N2 and Cu1-N5 [2.062(1) and 1.932(1) ?] for 1 and Ni1-N2 and Ni1-N5 [2.008(2) and 1.975(2) ?] for 2, respectively. As per our observation, the effective magnetic moment value (μ_eff) is found to be 1.77 B.M. for 1 and 3.06 BM for 2, respectively.     

One-Pot Etherification of Ketones and Aldehydes with Organic Halides Using Sodium Hydride as a Reductant

One-pot etherification reaction of aromatic and some aliphatic carbonyl compounds with organic halides in the presence of sodium hydride as a reducing reagent proceeded smoothly in dioxane, a polar solvent with higher boiling point, to provide desired ethers in moderate to high yields.     

Synthesis of 1,5-diphenylpent-3-en-1-yne derivatives utilizing an aqueous B-alkyl Suzuki cross coupling reaction

1,5-Diphenylpent-3-en-1-yne derivatives were isolated in minor quantities from terrestrial plants and exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity. A cross coupling reaction between B-benzyl-9-BBN and chloroenynes under mild condition was developed resulting in the formation of different 1,5-diphenylpent-3-en-1-yne derivatives with a full control on the E/Z selectivity. Several substrates bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents were tolerable under the reaction conditions affording the corresponding products in good yields. This is the first study to report the synthesis of a vast array of novel 1,5-diphenylpent-3-en-1-yne derivatives paving the way for the preparation of tailored derivatives on mass scale necessary for biological studies and drug development.

One‐Pot Synthesis of Highly Substituted Polyheteroaromatic Compounds by Rhodium(III)‐Catalyzed Multiple C?H Activation and Annulation

A new method for the synthesis of highly substituted naphthyridine‐based polyheteroaromatic compounds in high yields proceeds through rhodium(III)‐catalyzed multiple C H bond cleavage and C C and C N bond formation in a one‐pot process. Such highly substituted polyheteroaromatic compounds have attracted much attention because of their unique π‐conjugation, which make them suitable materials for organic semiconductors and luminescent materials. Furthermore, a possible mechanism, which involves multiple chelation‐assisted ortho C H activation, alkyne insertion, and reductive elimination, is proposed for this transformation.     

Large-area periodic lead halide perovskite nanostructures for lenticular printing laser displays

Lenticular printing technique provides a promising way to realize stereoscopic displays,especially,when microscopic optical structures are integrated into light-emitting materials/devices.Here,we fabricated large-area periodic structures with a spatial resolution at a wavelength scale from hybrid perovskite materials via a space-confined solution growth method.It takes advantages of both high refractive index contrast and high luminescence brightness,which allows the optical modulation on not only the reflection of illumination,but also the light emission from hybrid perovskites.The distributed feedback within these periodic structures significantly improves the degree of polarization and directionality of laser actions while their threshold is also reduced.These findings enable us to present a prototype of lenticular printing laser displays that vary emission colors at different view angles,which may find applications in creating high-resolution and high-contrast holographical images.

Light-Driven Crawling of Molecular Crystals by Phase-Dependent Transient Elastic Lattice Deformation

The light-driven crawling of a molecular crystal that can form three phases, (α, β, and γ) is presented. Laser irradiation of the molecular crystal can generate phase-dependent transient elastic lattice deformation. The resulting elastic lattice deformation that follows scanning irradiation of a laser can actuate the different phases of molecular crystal to move with different velocity and direction. Because the γ phase has a large Young's modulus (ca. 26 GPa), a force of 0.1 μN can be generated under one laser spot. The generated force is sufficient to actuate the γ-formed molecular crystals in a wide dimensional range to move longitudinally at a velocity of about 60 μm min⁻¹, which is two orders of magnitude faster than the α and β phases.
