Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of 1,3,5-tris(arylalkynyl)-2,4,6-trimethoxybenzenes

A number of C₃-symetric 1,3,5-tris(arylalkynyl)-2,4,6-trimethoxybenzenes which carry electron withdrawing aryl substituents at the acetylenic periphery and donating methoxy groups on the central benzene ring are prepared via Sonogashira coupling. The utility of two different synthetic routes is evaluated as well as the effect of the nature of the aryl and ethynyl starting compounds in the coupling reaction. Finally, a correlation between the substitution pattern of the alkynyl compounds and their UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopic properties is established.

Crystal Structures and Packing of 2,4,6-tris(4-Fluorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-Dimethylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine. New Materials for Octupolar Nonlinear Optics

The crystal structures and packing of 2,4,6-tris(4-fluorophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine and 2,4,6-tris(3,4-dimethylphenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine are discussed. These structures have been determined as a continuation of a series of octupolar NLO materials we have been investigating. The crystal structures are characterized by C–H...F and C–H... hydrogen bonds, respectively. A characteristic of these triazine structures is the presence of dimeric Piedfort Units (PU) that are extended into more elaborate two-dimensional (2-D) networks. The structure of the fluoro derivative is compared with that of the corresponding unsubstituted and chloro/bromo-substituted derivatives. The structure of the dimethyl triazine is compared with that of the corresponding 4-methyl derivative. The noncentrosymmetric nature of the dimethyl derivative was confirmed by a powder SHG signal at 1.064 m of the order of 0.5 × KDP. Interestingly, the dimethyl derivative studied here is isostructural with the corresponding 4-methyl triazine. This H/Me isostructurality is shown to be an uncommon phenomenon by an analysis with the CSD.

A convenient synthetic route to 2,4,6-tris(chlorosulfonyl)- and 2,4,6-tris(fluorosulfonyl)phenol, aniline and chlorobenzene

Convenient and preparative synthetic procedures of 2,4,6-tris(chlorosulfonyl)- and 2,4,6-tris(fluorosulfonyl)phenol, -chlorobenzene and -aniline have been elaborated. Chlorine exchange for fluorine by KF interaction on 2,4,6-tris(chlorosulfonyl)aniline and especially 2,4,6-tris(chlorosulfonyl)phenol proceeds easily and selectively under anhydrous conditions in dioxane. Unlike, 2,4,6-tris(chlorosulfonyl)chlorobenzene transformation requires the presence of water. On the basis of 2,4,6-tris(fluorosulfonyl)phenol and some of its salts, XRD measurements demonstrated the structural similarity to picric acid and its derivatives in the solid state.     

Thermodynamic stability of 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine: an experimental and theoretical study

The molecular geometries and electronic structures of 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine isomers were investigated by the density functional method DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G** to elucidate the structural factors responsible for the stability of these systems. It was shown that a characteristic feature of the nitromethyl tautomer (1) of 2,4,6-tris (nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine consists in nonvalence interactions between an oxygen atom of nitro group and a carbon atom of triazine ring, which are probably due to Coulomb attraction between them. The tautomer with the 2,4,6-tris (nitromethylene)-hexahyrdo-1,3,5-triazine structure (2) is stabilized trough direct polar conjugation between the amino and nitro groups at the double bond. Structural strain of the molecule with the 2,4,6-tris(aci-nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine structure (3) is the reason for its thermodynamic instability. X-ray data indicate that the compound under study exists in the triazine tautomeric form 1 and the distances between oxygen atoms of nitro group and carbon atom of the triazine ring are shortened. NMR data suggest the existence of triazine in the nitromethyl form 1 in acetonitrile and acetone and a tautomeric equilibrium between the nitromethyl and nitromethylene forms in a more polar solvent (DMSO). The results obtained suggest a Coulomb-type stabilization of the 2,4,6-tris(nitromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine molecule in the gas phase, in the crystal, and in nonpolar solvents.     

Synthesis and photophysical properties of hyperbranched polyfluorenes containing 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine as the core

A series of new hyperbranched polymers containing a 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine core unit and polyfluorene chain arms have been synthesized via Suzuki coupling, and characterized by NMR, IR and GPC. All the polymers exhibit good thermal stability with a high decomposition temperature. By changing the 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine/fluorene ratio the UV-vis absorption and emission spectra can be partially tuned. It has been found that the polymers containing a low ratio of 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine units (P1-P3) have an absorption maximum around 385 nm, localized in the polyfluorene chain, and a shoulder around 425 nm ascribable to a charge transfer state involving the fluorene and the 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine core. Increasing the molar ratio of the 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine unit enhances the charge transfer band which becomes dominant for P4. The LUMO level of these polymers is relatively low due to the electron affinity of the triazine group. The polymers show dual emission, with a structured band in the blue (410-440 nm), attributed to the polyfluorene, and a broad band in the red (470-500 nm) associated with the charge transfer state. All the polymers exhibit two-photon absorption activity in the range of 660 to 900 nm with the maximum two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section red-shifted from the corresponding linear absorption. The values of the TPA cross-sections vary from 1000 to 5000 GM, following the 2,4,6-tris(thiophen-2-yl)-1,3,5-triazine/fluorene ratio.     

Two photon absorption properties of 1,3,5-tricyano-2,4,6-tris(styryl)benzene derivatives

Two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of 1,3,5-tricyano-2,4,6-tris(styryl)benzene derivatives have been investigated. Comparison of the absorption and fluorescence spectra reveals that these compounds show large Stokes shifts, which increase gradually as the conjugation length increases. One-photon absorption and excitation spectra are similar except that the latter exhibit several peaks near lambda(max). It is also found that the one- and two-photon-induced fluorescence excitation spectra are quite similar, which indicates that the one- and two-photon allowed-excited states are the same. The peak TPA cross section values (delta(max)) measured with nanosecond pulses by the two-photon-induced fluorescence method are in the range (50-2620) x 10(-50) cm4 s/photon. The delta(max) value increases as the donor strength and conjugation length increase. A linear relationship is observed between delta(max) and beta, and this delta-beta relationship is found to serve as a useful synthetic strategy for the design of novel TPA dyes with the octupolar structure.     

Inclusion of tetramethylpyrazine in channels of the organic zeolite 2,4,6-tris(4-bromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine

2,4,6-tris(4-bromophenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine (BrPOT) features a channel size (11–12 Å) allowing the inclusion of large guest molecules such as tetramethylpyrazine (TMPZ). TMPZ forms π-stacks (d: 3.5 Å) along channels of BrPOT and shows rotational disorder for methyl positions. Co-inclusions of I₂ resulted in a doped state where I₂ molecules are oriented perpendicular to the channel axis with positional disorder as well. The particular orientation of I₂ molecules is evident from the observed dichroism.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of copper(II) complexes derived from 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine

Treatment of freshly precipitated Cu(OH)₂?·?xH₂O and 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) with oxalic and malonic acids in methanol-water at room temperature gave [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)]?·?H₂O (2) (pma?=?2-aminocarbonylpyridine), respectively. Reaction in the absence of any acid resulted in [Cu(bpca)(tca)]?·?2H₂O (3) (bpca?=?bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion; tca?=?2-pyridinecarboxylate anion). Complex 1 consists of [Cu(tptz)(C₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the tridentate tptz ligand, bidentate oxalate dianion and an aqua ligand are bound to Cu with distorted octahedral geometry. Complex 2 is composed of [Cu(pma)(C₃H₂O₄)(H₂O)] and lattice H₂O molecules; the bidentate 2-aminocarbonylpyridine ligand, a bidentate malonate dianion and an aqua ligand are coordinated to Cu with a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. Complex 3 consists of [Cu(bpca)(tca)] and lattice H₂O molecules. Square pyramidally coordinated Cu atoms are surrounded by tridentate bpca with nitrogen donor atoms and a bidentate 2-pyridinecarboxylate anion.
