Acetylene Derivatives of Cationic Diazaoxatriangulenes and Diaza [4]Helicenes - Access to Red Emitters and Planar Chiral Stereochemical Traits

Cationic triangulenes, and related helicenes, constitute a rich class of dyes and fluorophores, usually absorbing and emitting light at low energy, in the orange to red domains. Recently, to broaden the scope of applications, regioselective late-stage functionalizations on these core moieties have been developed. For instance, with the introduction of electron-donating groups (EDGs), important bathochromic shifts are observed pushing absorptions towards or in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral domain while emissive properties disappear essentially completely. Herein, to upset this drawback, acetylene derivatives of cationic diazaoxa triangulenes (DAOTA) and [4]helicenes are prepared (16 examples). Contrary to other EDG-functionalized derivatives, C≡C− functionalized products remain broadly fluorescent, with red-shifted absorptions (Δλ_abs up to 25 nm) and emissions (Δλ_em up to 73 nm, Φ_PL up to 51 %). Quite interestingly, a general dynamic stereoisomerism phenomenon is evidenced for the compounds derived from achiral DAOTA cores. At low temperature in ¹H NMR spectroscopy (218 K), N−CH₂ protons become diastereotopic with chemical shifts differences (Δδ) as high as +1.64 ppm. The signal coalescence occurs around 273 K with a barrier of ∼12 kcal mol⁻¹. This phenomenon is due to planar chiral conformations (S_p and R_p configurations), induced by the geometry of the alkyl (n-propyl) side-chains next to the acetylenic substituents. Ion pairing studies with Δ-TRISPHAT anion not only confirm the occurrence of the chiral conformations but evidence a moderate but definite asymmetric induction from the chiral anion onto the cations. Finally, DFT calculations offer a valuable insight on the geometries, the corresponding stereodynamics and also on the very large difference in NMR for some of the diastereotopic protons.     

Synthesis of Stereochemically Flexible Cyclic Biphenylbisphosphinite Ligands: Control of the Dynamics and Selectivity

Novel l -tartaric acid based stereodynamic biphenylbisphosphinite ligands with anilino linkers were prepared as cyclic diamide compounds. The influence of the constitutional substitution pattern of the amino group at the aniline moiety on the diastereoselective formation of the ligand was investigated. While the meta-anilino bridged ligands showed a highly dynamic behavior and no discrimination between (R_ax) and (S_ax) configuration, l -tartaric acid substitution on ortho-anilino bridged ligands leads to diastereoselective self-alignment of the central biphenol axis, which controls the stereoselectivity of the ligand and catalyst. The experimental findings were corroborated by theoretical calculations. In the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate (MAA), an enantiomeric ratio of 75 : 25 (R/S) was obtained for the ortho-substituted ligand.     

Synthesis and Structure of N,N‐Dinitroamidoborane Complexes

A general approach to the synthesis of borohydride complexes containing one or two dinitroamide fragments has been suggested. Based on a smooth substitution of halide in haloborane or dibromoborane complexes with N ,N ‐dinitroamide salts, this method provides various N ,N ‐dinitroamidoboranes complexes in good yields and in analytically pure form. By means of spectroscopic and computational methods, it was demonstrated that dinitroamidoborane complexes could form as both B,N‐ and B,O‐isomers, which did not interconvert at ambient temperature.     

Synthesis and Stereodynamics of N-Formyl-1,2,3- Selenadiazolopyridines

Abstract

The 4,6-diaryl-6,7-dihydro-[1,2,3]selenadiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine-5(4H)-carbalde hydes were synthesized from 2,6-diarylpiperidin-4-ones and characterized using infrared, ¹H, ¹³C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and mass spectroscopic techniques. On the NMR time scale, the compounds exist in syn and anti isomeric forms. Separate signals were obtained for isomers in the NMR spectra. The compounds’ stereodynamic nature was studied based on the intensity and position of NMR signals.

Theoretical study of stereodynamics for the N+H2/D2/T2 reactions

The effects of isotopic variants on stereodynamic properties for the title reactions have been investigated using a quasi-classical trajectory method based on the first excited state NH2（I^2A＇） potential energy surface [Li Y Q and Varandas A J C 2010 J. Phys. Chem. A 114 9644]. The forward–backward symmetry scattering of the differential cross section can be observed, which demonstrates that all these reactions follow the insertion mechanism. Three angle distribution functions P（θr）, P（φr）, and P（θr, φr） with different collision energies and target molecules H2/D2/T2 are calculated. It is shown that the product rotational angular momentum is not only aligned, but also oriented along the direction perpendicular to the scattering plane. The title reaction is mainly governed by the ＂in-plane＂ mechanism through the calculated distribution function P（θr, φr）. The observable influences on the rotational polarization of the product by the isotopic substitution of H/D/T can be demonstrated.     

C (3P)+NO (X2)CN (X2+)+O (3P) 反应的矢量相关研究

采用准经典轨线方法研究了三个不同碰撞能下,反应C (3P)+NO (X2)CN (X2+)+O (3P) 在Nyman等拟合的两个势能面（2A" 和 2A'）上反应物与产物之间的矢量相关. 结果表明在两个势能面上产物的转动角动量矢量不仅取向,而且沿着y轴垂直于散射平面定向,产物的角动量定向依赖于碰撞能和势能面. 同时,计算的四个重整化极化依赖微分截面显示产物在三个散射角被强烈极化,这与在两个势能面上的三个过渡态有关.     

O(3P)+H2→OH+H反应的立体动力学研究

利用BMS1势能面[Brandao等,J.Chem.Phys.121,8861(2004)],选取碰撞能为34.6 kcal/mol,用准经典轨线方法研究了O(3P)+H2反应的立体动力学性质.计算并讨论了k与j'的夹角的分布关系P(θr)以及描述k-k'-j'三者关系的二面角分布P((ρ)r).(k)为反应物速度方向,k'为产物的速度方向,j'为产物的角动量方向)P(θr)的峰值在90°附近并且关于90°呈对称性分布,这表明产物角动量的方向与初速度的方向垂直.二面角分布P((ρ)r)关于散射平面呈反对称性分布,这一结果表明产物的角动量具有强烈的极化效应.另外,我们还研究了振动激发对产物角动量的影响,结果表明产物的矢量性质对反应物的初始振动态非常敏感.
