Zur Kenntnis von Li2[CuO2] [1, 2]

On Li₂[CuO₂] At the first time single crystals of Li₂[CuO₂] are prepared by exchange reaction. The crystal structure (I mmm) with a = 365.4(0), b = 285.9(0), c = 937.4(0) pm, Z = 2, d_x = 3.73 g/cm³, d_pyk = 3.67 g/cm³ was refined (four-circle-diffractometer data PW 1100, 343 I_o(hkl), MoKα, R = 0.046, R_w = 0.041). The characteristic structure element is the planar chain \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {}_\infty ^1 \left[{{\rm CuO}_{4/2}} \right]^{2 -} $\end{document}. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, these via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, are calculated.     

TeSe3]2- and [TeSe2]2- as synthons

The [Au2(TeSe2)2]2- anion has been prepared from the reaction of [TeSe3]2- with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 and from the reaction of [TeSe2]2- with AuCN in DMF. Reaction of [TeSe2]2- with AuCN in DMF in the presence of PEt3 leads ultimately to the [Au2(Te2)2]2- anion.     

Charge transfer chromophore-stopped [2]rotaxane through [2 + 2] cycloaddition

Three charge-transfer chromophore-terminated [2]rotaxanes were synthesized, using a high-yield [2 + 2]cycloaddition reaction in apolar solvent at room temperature. Two solvent-driving molecular shuttles were constructed, which exhibit distinct conformations in different solvent as a result of the shuttling movement of the macrocycle.     

Intramolecular ketenimine-ketenimine [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloadditions

Bis(ketenimines), in which the two heterocumulenic functions are placed in close proximity on a carbon skeleton to allow their mutual interaction, show a rich and not easily predictable chemistry. Intramolecular [2 + 2] or [4 + 2] cycloadditions are, respectively, observed when both ketenimine functions are supported on either ortho-benzylic or 2,2'-biphenylenic scaffolds. In addition, nitrogen-to-carbon [1,3] and [1,5] shifts of arylmethyl groups in N-arylmethyl-C,C-diphenyl ketenimines are also disclosed.     

[2 + 2]-Cycloreversions

Four-membered rings can be cleaved thermally, Photochemically, or catalytically into two π bonded fragments. Theoretical calculations, kinetic studies, and investigations of stereo- and regioselectivity have been undertaken to clarify the question of whether the reaction involves one or two steps and to permit predictions on its course. [2 + 2]-Cycloreversions have been used to clarify the structure of four-membered rings, to prepare highly reactive π electron-systems and–in combination with a [2 + 2]-cycloaddition–to protect double bonds. The combination of a cycloaddition and-reversion can be used to convert a carbonyl group into an olefin. Starting with compounds containing annelated four-membered rings, compounds with two functional groups or large ring systems can be prepared. [2 + 2]-Cycloreversions have also been discussed in connection with storage of solar energy.     

Five-dimensional incommensurate structure of the melilite electrolyte [CaNd]2[Ga]2[Ga2O7]2

Melilite-type gallium oxides are potential intermediate temperature electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells. Single crystals of [CaNd](2)[Ga](2)[Ga(2)O(7)](2) grown using an optical floating zone furnace have been investigated using transmission electron microscopy and powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The anion array topologically conforms to a [(3.5.4.5)(2), 3.5.3.5] network that contains distorted pentagonal tunnels. The distortion is necessary to achieve space filling and accommodate structural misfit between the layers. Satisfactory bond lengths and angles are obtained through two-dimensional modulation in the tetragonal based plane, leading to five-dimensional symmetry in the superspace group P(4?)2(1)m(α,α,0)00s((a?)a,0)000, α = 0.2319(2), with modulation vectors q(1) = α(a* + b*) and q(2) = α(-a* + b*). Both displacive and occupational modulations are found. Through this mechanism, melilites are primed to accommodate mobile oxygen interstitials, suggesting a rational approach to crystallochemical tailoring that will enhance ionic diffusion and optimize electrolyte performance.     

DFT study on [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions to [60] fullerene

The functionalisation of C₆₀ fullerene with 2,3-dimethylene-1,4-dioxane (I) and 2,5-dioxabicyclo [4.2.0]octa-1(8),6-diene (II) was investigated by the use of density functional theory calculations in terms of its energetic, structural, field emission, and electronic properties. The functionalisation of C₆₀ with I was previously reported experimentally. The I and II molecules are preferentially attached to a C—C bond shared and located between two hexagons of C₆₀ via [4+2] and [2+2] cycloadditions bearing reaction energies of ?15.9 kcal mol^?1 and ?72.4 kcal mol^?1, respectively. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap and work function of C₆₀ are significantly reduced following completion of the reactions. The field electron emission current of the C₆₀ surface will increase after functionalisation of either the I or II molecule.     

Self-assembly of heteroleptic [2 x 2] and [2 x 3] nanogrids

Using the HETPHEN concept a general and quantitative approach to the formation of heteroleptic nanogrids is illustrated.     

Calix[2]bipyrrole[2]furan and calix[2]bipyrrole[2]thiophene: new pyrrolic receptors exhibiting a preference for carboxylate anions

Heterocycles other than pyrrole, specifically bipyrrole, furan, and thiophene, have been used to construct two new, calixpyrrole-like anion receptors; binding studies, carried out by ITC in CH3CN, reveal a selectivity for "Y-shaped" anions, such as benzoate, over spherical ones, such as chloride.     

Neue Oxozincate der Alkalimetalle: Rb2[ZnO2] und Cs2[ZnO2]

New Oxozineates of Alkali Metals: Rb₂[ZnO₂] and Cs₂[ZnO₂] Colorless single crystals of the hitherto unknown Rb₂[ZnO₂] (a = 9.55₈, b = 6.33₅, c = 15.91 Å, β = 118.6°, z = 8, d_pyk = 4.11, d_rö = 4.21 g · cm^?3) and Cs₂[ZnO₂] (a = 9.85₁, b = 6.61₉, c = 16.26 Å, β = 116.8°) have been prepared, which crystallize monoclinic, P2₁/c – D. (For parameters see text.) Unexpected there are “isolated” groups [Zn₄O₈]. Half of the Zn atoms exhibit the unusual coordination number 3 towards O^2?. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, and the Effective Coordination Number, ECoN, the latter by means of Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, are calculated and discussed.     

NHC-catalyzed enantioselective [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions of ketenes with isothiocyanates

The enantioselective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed formal [2 + 2] and [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of ketenes and isothiocyanates were developed. Reaction with N-aryl isothiocyanates at room temperature favors the [2 + 2] cycloaddition, while reaction with N-benzoyl isothiocyanates at -40 °C favors the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition.
