An exceptional red shift of emission maxima upon fluorine substitution

The effect of perfluorination on photophysical properties was investigated through synthesis and photophysical characterization of two isostructural donor-acceptor-donor dye molecules. The synthesis of two versatile fluorinated benzene compounds, 1,4-difluoro-2,5-diperfluorooctylbenzene (1) and 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluoro-3,6-diperfluorooctylbenzene (2), is presented. The X-ray structure of 2 has been determined and shows that the perfluorinated octyl chains segregate from the benzene rings in the solid state, giving rise to a layered structure. The further synthesis through Suzuki coupling reactions using 4-formylbenzeneboronic acid with (2) and 1,4-dibromo-2,5-dioctylbenzene (3) gave, respectively, 1,4' '-diformyl-2',5'-difluoro-3',6'-diperfluorooctyl-p-terphenylene (4) and 1,4' '-diformyl-2',5'-dioctyl-p-terphenylene (5). The condensation of the dialdehydes 4 and 5 with 9,10-phenanthrenequinone and ammoniumbicarbonate in glacial acetic acid gave the dye molecules 1,4' '-bis(1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)-2',5'-difluoro-3',6'-diperfluorooctyl-p-terphenylene (6) and 1,4' '-bis(1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazol-2-yl)-2',5'-dioctyl-p-terphenylene (7), respectively. The UV-vis spectra of the two molecules are nearly identical, whereas the fluorescence spectra are very different. Compound 7 shows blue fluorescence with little solvent dependence (lambda(emission) = 410 nm in THF, CH2Cl2, and hexane), whereas compound 6 shows a highly solvent-dependent emission wavelength (lambda(emission) = 583 nm in THF, lambda(emission) = 560 nm in CH2Cl2, and lambda(emission) = 450 nm in hexane). The fluorescence red shift of compound 6 in a series of solvents with different polarity is discussed using the Lippert-Mataga equation. Fluorescence lifetime and quantum yields were also determined. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) was performed on thin films of compound 6 and 7 on a gold substrate. The observed ionization potential was 6.15 eV for 6 and 5.85 eV for 7" [correction].     

New [4.4]cyclophanes: molecular parallelograms, triangles, rhombuses, pentagons, and supramolecular constructions

The fair or good yield synthesis of new [(4.4)(n)]cyclophanes (n = 1-5), starting from 1,4-bis(2-hydroxymethyl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)benzene and several diacid-dichlorides, based on monomer and oligomer formation reactions (from 1 + 1 to 5 + 5), is reported. The structure and the complex architectures of the lattices for these cyclophanes are revealed by the X-ray molecular structure for five compounds, NMR investigations, and mass spectrometry measurements. Intramolecular and intermolecular CH-pi, p-pi, and pi-pi interactions are observed, both in solid state and solution.

Three 2,5‐dialkoxy‐1,4‐diethynylbenzene derivatives

2,5‐Diethoxy‐1,4‐bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene, C₂₀H₃₀O₂Si₂, (I), constitutes one of the first structurally characterized examples of a family of compounds, viz. the 2,5‐dialkoxy‐1,4‐bis[(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzene derivatives, used in the preparation of oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s via Pd/Cu‐catalysed cross‐coupling. 2,5‐Diethoxy‐1,4‐diethynylbenzene, C₁₄H₁₄O₂, (II), results from protodesilylation of (I). 1,4‐Diethynyl‐2,5‐bis(heptyloxy)benzene, C₂₄H₃₄O₂, (III), is a long alkyloxy chain analogue of (II). The molecules of compounds (I)–(III) are located on sites with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The large substituents either in the alkynyl group or in the benzene ring have a marked effect on the packing and intermolecular interactions of adjacent molecules. All the compounds exhibit weak intermolecular interactions that are only slightly shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the interacting atoms. Compound (I) displays C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms and the acetylenic C atom. Compound (II) shows π–π interactions between the acetylenic C atoms, complemented by C—H...π interactions between the methyl H atoms and the acetylenic C atoms. Unlike (I) or (II), compound (III) has weak nonclassical hydrogen‐bond‐type interactions between the acetylenic H atoms and the ether O atoms.     

Unusual Hydrogen-bonding Networks Consisting of π-Extended 4,4′-Bipyridines and Chloranilic Acid

Hydrogen-bonding networks of π-extended 4,4′-bipyridines, 2,5-di(4-pyridyl)thiophene (1), 2,5-di(4-pyridyl)furan (2) and 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)benzene (3) with 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid, CA) have been investigated. The dipyridyl compounds afforded complexes 4 [(dication of 1)·(monoanion of CA)²], 5 [(dication of 2)·(dianion of CA)·(MeOH)] and 6 [(3)·(dication of 3)·(dianion of CA)·(H²O)⁶] with CA. X-ray structure analyses revealed the formation of unusual molecular tape and sheet structures involving N–H ?O, O–H ?O, C–H ?O and N–H ?N hydrogen bonds, where the aromatic spacer groups play an important role in constructing the unique crystal structures.     

Design and construction of coordination polymers based on 2,2'-dinitro-4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylate and semi-rigid N-donor ligands: diverse structures and magnetic properties

Eight 2D and 3D coordination polymers, [Mn(NBPDC)(1,4-bimb)](n) (1), [Zn(NBPDC)(1,4-bimb)](n) (2), [Cd(NBPDC)(1,4-bimb)](n) (3), [Mn(2)(NBPDC)(2)(1,3-bimb)(H(2)O)](n) (4), {Zn(NBPDC)(1,3-bimb)}(n) (5), [Cd(2)(NBPDC)(2)(1,3-bimb)(2)(H(2)O)](n) (6), [Mn(NBPDC)(4,4'-bimbp)](n) (7), and [Cd(2)(NBPDC)(2)(4,4'-bimbp)(2)](n) (8), (NBPDC = 2,2'-dinitro-4,4'-biphenyldicarboxyl acid, 1,4-bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene, 1,3-bimb = 1,3-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl) benzene, and 4,4'-bimbp = 4,4'-(bis(imidazol-l-ylmethylene)) biphenyl), have been prepared and structurally characterized. In these coordination polymers, NBPDC and three N-donor ligands link different metal ions and SBUs to construct diverse architectures. Compounds 1 and 3 are isomorphic, showing a two-fold interpenetrating pcu topology. Compound 2 presents a 2D (4, 4) net. Compound 4 is a hex framework built by the linkage of ligands with infinite rod-shaped SBUs. Compound 5 presents a unprecedented eight-fold interpenetrating sra topology. Compound 6 exhibits a unique 2D {6(3)}{6(5).8} topology with four-fold interpenetrating structure. Compound 7 presents a 3D hex topology, and compound 8 shows a (4, 4) net. The magnetic properties of compounds 1, 4, and 7 have been characterized. Compound 1 displays interesting spin-canting antiferromagnetism and metamagnetism simultaneously. Compound 7 exhibits spin-canting antiferromagnetism.     

Fully delocalized (ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene bridged triruthenium complexes in up to five different oxidation states

Triruthenium [(dppe)(2)Ru{-C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(2)-2,5-R(2)-CH═CH-RuCl(CO)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)}(2)](n+) (4a, R = H; 4b, R = OMe) containing unsymmetrical (ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene bridging ligands and displaying five well-separated redox states (n = 0-4) are compared to their bis(alkynyl)ruthenium precursors (dppe)(2)Ru{-C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(2)-2,5-R(2)-C≡CR'} (2a,b: R' = TMS; 3a,b: R' = H) and their symmetrically substituted bimetallic congeners, complexes {Cl(dppe)(2)Ru}(2){μ-C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(2)-2,5-R(2)-C≡C} (A(a), R = H; A(b), R = OMe) and {RuCl(CO)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)}(2){μ-CH═CH-1,4-C(6)H(2)-2,5-R(2)-CH═CH} (V(a), R = H; V(b), R = OMe) as well as the mixed (ethynyl)(vinyl)phenylene bridged [Cl(dppe)(2)Ru-C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(4)-CH═CH-RuCl(CO)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)] (M(a)). Successive one-electron transfer steps were studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, EPR and UV-vis-NIR-IR spectroelectrochemistry. These studies show that the first oxidation mainly involves the central bis(alkynyl) ruthenium moiety with only limited effects on the appended vinyl ruthenium moieties. The second to fourth oxidations (n = 2, 3, 4) involve the entire carbon-rich conjugated path of the molecule with an increased charge uniformly distributed between the two arms of the molecules, including the terminal vinyl ruthenium sites. In order to assess the charge distribution, we judiciously use (13)CO labeled analogues to distinguish stretching vibrations due to the acetylide triple bonds and the intense and charge-sensitive Ru(CO) IR probe in different oxidation states. The comparison between complex pairs 4a,b(n+) (n = 0-3), A(a,b)(n+) and V(a,b)(n+) (n = 0-2) serves to elucidate the effect of the methoxy donor substituents on the redox and spectroscopic properties of these systems in their various oxidation states and on the metal/ligand contributions to their frontier orbitals.     

Di([5]trovacenyl)ethyne, di([5]trovacenyl)butadiyne, and di-1,4-([5]trovacenylethynyl)benzene: electrocommunication and magnetocommunication mediated by --C triple bond C--, --C triple bond C--C triple bond C-- and --C triple bond C--C6H4--C triple bond C-- spacers

The synthesis of dinuclear derivatives of trovacene (eta7-C7H7)V(eta5-C5H5) (1.) is reported, in which ethynyl (6..), butadiynyl (7..), and 1,4-di(ethynyl)phenyl (8..) groups serve as spacers between paramagnetic (S = 1/2) [5]trovacenyl units. The mononuclear precursors [5]trovacenylcarbaldehyde (2.) and [5]trovacenylacetylene (4.) are also described. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction has been performed for 4., 6.., 7.., and 8.. Electronic communication as gleaned from cyclic voltammetry only manifests itself in the reduction processes where redox splitting deltaE1/2(0/ 1-, 1-/2-) is resolved for 6.. (deltaE1/2 = 150 mV) and indicated for 7.. (deltaE1/2 < or approximately 80 mV). Magnetocommunication leads to exchange coupling of the two electron spins which reside in vanadium centered orbitals. The values JEPR(6..) = (-)0.92, JEPR(7..) = (-)0.56, and JEPR(8..) = (-)0.005 cm(-1) are derived from the 51V hyperfine patterns. Accordingly, attenuation of exchange interaction by oligoalkyne spacers is weak, corresponding to a factor of 0.6 only per added --C triple bond C-- unit. In the determination of very weak long distance exchange interactions, EPR excels because of the range 5 x 10(-4) < or approximately J < or approximately 1.5 cm(-1) accessible in the case of 51V as a reporting magnetic nucleus and because competing intermolecular exchange is quenched in dilute fluid solution. This is demonstrated by the value Jchi(7..) = -3.84 cm(-1) obtained from a magnetic susceptibility study, which exceeds JEPR(7..) by a factor of 7. The small magnitude of spin exchange interaction between trovacene units reflects the fact that the spin bearing V3dz2 orbital is virtually orthogonal to the pi-perimeter ligand orbitals and weakly overlapping only with the a1g(sigma) ring orbitals, creating two bottlenecks for spin-exchange in the spacer-containing ditrovacenes.     

Syntheses and structures of copper(I) complexes based on Cu(n)X(n) (X = Br and I; n = 1, 2 and 4) units and bis(pyridyl) ligands with longer flexible spacer

Self-assembly of four bis(pyridyl) ligands with longer flexible spacer: 1,4-bis(3-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene (L1), 1,4-bis(2-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene (L2), 1,3-bis(3-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene (L3) and 1,3-bis(2-pyridylaminomethyl)benzene (L4), and CuX (X = Br and I) leads to the formation of eight [Cu(n)X(n)]-based (X = Br and I; n = 1, 2, and 4) complexes, [Cu(2)I(2)L1(PPh(3))(4)] (1), [Cu(4)Cl(2)Br(2)(L4)(2)(PPh(3))(6)]·(CH(3)CN)(2) (2), [Cu(2)I(2)(L3)(2)] (3), {[Cu(2)Br(2)L2(PPh(3))(2)]·(CH(2)Cl(2))(2)}(n) (4), [CuIL1](n)·nCH(2)Cl(2) (5), [CuIL1](n) (6), [CuIL4](n) (7) and [Cu(2)I(2)L4](n) (8), which have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TG, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses show that the eight complexes possess an increasing dimensionality from 0D (1-3) to 1D (4) to 2D (5-8), in which 1 and 2 contain a CuX unit, 2-7 contain a Cu(2)X(2) unit and 8 contains a Cu(4)X(4) unit. Such evolvement indicates that the conformation of flexible bis(pyridyl) ligands and the participation of triphenylphosphine (PPh(3)) as a second ligand take an essential role in the framework formation of the Cu(i) complexes. Moreover, a pair of symmetry-related L3 ligands in complex 3 coordinate to the rhomboid Cu(2)I(2) dimer to form "handcuff-shaped" dinuclear structures, which are further joined together through intermolecular N-HI hydrogen bonds to furnish a 2D (4,4) layer. Although complexes 5 and 6 exhibit a similar 2D (4,4) layer constructed from L1 ligand bridging [Cu(2)I(2)](n) units, the different packing fashion of the layers leads to the formation of 3D porous frameworks of 5 and dense 3D frameworks of 6. The "twisted-boat" conformation of the Cu(4)I(4) tetramer unit in complex 8 has not been reported so far.

This method is applicable for the preparation of a variety of receptors of various ring size, heteroatom substitution and pendant chains.

Rh(II) and Rh(I) two-legged piano-stool complexes: structure,reactivity, and electronic properties

The ligand 1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene, 3, was used to synthesize a mononuclear Rh(II) complex [(eta(1):eta(6):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh][PF(6)](2), 6+, in a two-legged piano-stool geometry. The structural and electronic properties of this novel complex including a single-crystal EPR analysis are reported. The complex can be cleanly interconverted with its Rh(I) form, allowing for a comparison of the structural properties and reactivity of both oxidation states. The Rh(I) form 6 reacts with CO, tert-butyl isocyanide, and acetonitrile to form a series of 15-membered mononuclear cyclophanes [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CO)(3)][PF(6)] (8), [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CNC(CH(3))(3))(2)][PF(6)] (10), and [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CO)(CH(3)CN)][PF(6)] (11). The Rh(II) complex 6+ reacts with the same small molecules, but over shorter periods of time, to form the same Rh(I) products. In addition, a model two-legged piano-stool complex [(eta(1):eta(6):eta(1)-1,4-bis[3-(diphenylphosphino)propoxy]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh][B(C(6)F(5))(4)], 5, has been synthesized and characterized for comparison purposes.

Synthesis and properties of dipyridinium betaines of derivatives of 1,4-benzoquinone and tetracyanoquinodimethane

Reaction of chloranil with excess pyridine gives the poorly stable 2,5-di(N-pyridinium)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone dichloride which is readily hydrolyzed to give the bisbetaine of 2,5-di(N-pyridinium)-1,4-benzoquinone-3,6-dioxide. Treatment with acid gives its mono- and bisprotonated derivatives as the perchlorate and dibromide and bromination gives the betaine 2-bromo-2,5-di(N-pyridinium)-5-cyclohexene-1,3,4-trione-6-oxide perbromide. The reaction of malonodinitrile with 2,5-di(N-pyridinium)-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone dichloride in situ gives the poorly stable bisbetaine of 2,5-di(N-pyridinium)-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane-3,6-dioxide.Riga Technical University, Riga LV-1048.

1³,1⁷,5³,5⁷-tetraphenyl-1³,1⁷,5³,5⁷-tetrathio-3,7-dithia-1,5(1,5)-di(1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctana)-2,4,6,8(1,4)-tetrabenzenacyclooctaphane 2b was obtained by sulfurization of the corresponding macrocyclic tetraphosphine 1b. The structure of the inclusion complex of tetrasulfide 2b with DMF was investigated by the X-ray crystal structure analysis. A novel for this type of cyclophanes and relatively rare conical-like conformation of the macrocycle was found. A methyl group from one of the solvating DMF molecules penetrates the macrocyclic cavity of 2b from the side of the wider rim. According to quantum-chemical simulations, this may be the reason of the unusual conical conformation of 2b because the cavity of the macrocycles of this type is highly flexible.

Synthesis of dienynes from alkenes and diynes using ruthenium-mediated ring-closing metathesis

This communication describes a novel ruthenium-mediated transformation, which converts molecules containing alkenes and conjugated diynes such as 1-allyl-2-{[6-(2-allylphenoxy)-2,4-hexadiynyl]oxy}benzene into dienynes such as 3-[2-(2,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-3-yl)-1-methylene-2-propenyl]-2,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepine instead of the expected product 3-[2-(2,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepin-3-yl)ethynyl]-2,5-dihydro-1-benzoxepine.
