Self-assembly of Novel Hetero[3]rotaxane,[2]Rotaxanes and [2]Catenane

One linear template 13 and one cyclophane template 15, both incorporating two electron rich 1,4-dialkoxybenzene units and one diamide unit, have been synthesized. By utilizing donor-acceptor interaction and/or intermolecular hydrogen bonding assembling principles, one novel hetero[3]rotaxane 22·4Cl, possessing one neutral and one tetracationic ring components, has been synthesized from 13, through neutral [2]rotaxane 21 as intermediate. With 15 as template, tetracationic [2]catenane 23·4PF6 was assembled by using donor-acceptor interaction, but no neutral [2]rotaxane could be obtained under the typical conditions of hydrogen bonding assembling principle. The interlocked supramolecular compounds have been characterized and their spectral properties are investigated.

A convenient synthetic pathway to 2-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4H-benzo[f][1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-α]azepine derivatives 7 was developed. The synthesis was based on the cycloaddition of the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene a-acetoxy azo compounds 3 with Ar-CN in the presence of AlCl3 and the consecutive ring enlargement.     

Langmuir–Blodgett film of tetraoxocalix[2]arene[2]triazine modified electrode for voltammetric determination of copper ion

In the present work, a new voltammetric sensor, Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film of tetraoxocalix[2]arene[2]triazine (TOCT) modified glassy carbon electrode (LB_TOCT-GCE), for trace analysis of copper ion in water samples, was prepared. The morphology of LB_TOCT-GCE was characterized by cyclic voltammetric method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and atomic force microscope. The recognizing mechanism of LB_TOCT-GCE for copper ion in aqueous solution was discussed. Under the optimum experimental conditions, using square wave stripping voltammetry and accumulation time of 300 s, the peak currents were linear relationship with Cu²⁺ concentrations in the range of 2 × 10⁻⁹ to 1 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹, with detection limit of 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol L⁻¹. By this method, real samples (lake water, drinking water, and city wastewater) were analyzed with satisfactory results. In addition, the fabricated electrode exhibited a distinct advantage of simple preparation, non-toxicity, good reproducibility, and stability.

Synthesis and characterisation of [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)-stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dmit)3], [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dmio)3] and [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-selenolato)stannate]2−, [Q]2[Sn(dsit)3], complexes: Analysis of the structural variations of the [Sn(dmit)3]2− and [Sn(dmio)3]2− dianions

[Tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]²⁻, [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₅)₃], [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-one-4,5-dithiolato)stannate]²⁻, [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₄O)₃], and [tris(1,3-dithiole-2-thione-4,5-diselenolato)stannate]²⁻ [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₃Se₂)₃], complexes, have been synthesised and characterised. Crystal structure determinations of [Q]₂[Sn(C₃S₅)₃] (Q=1,4-dimethylpyridinium, monoclinic and orthorhombic forms; NMe₄, NEt₄, and PPh₄) and [NEt₄]₂[Sn(C₃S₄O)₃] revealed variations in the overall dianion structures. The geometry about tin in each case is essentially octahedral with the chelate bite angles in the range 80.7(5)–87.45(4)°: the range of Sn–S distances is 2.5207(18)–2.571(17) Å. A statistical analysis, carried out on the crystal structure data for the six complexes, indicated that the most critical factors in controlling the overall shape of the dianion were the distances of the Sn atom from the dithiolate ligand planes [Sn–OOP]. Interanionic S⋯S interactions, within the sum of the van der Waals’ radii for two S atoms, are affected by the size of the cation, Q; the secondary connectivity is 3-dimensional for the smallest cations, Q=1,4-dimethylpyridinium and NMe₄, in chains for the somewhat larger cation, NEt₄ and is absent for the still larger, PPh₄ cation.     

The excited-state geometry of [Re2Cl8]2−

We report the luminescence spectrum of a single crystal of [Bu₄N]₂[Re₂Cl₈] at ≈20 K. The spectrum shows progressions in the Re-Re stretching vibration v₁ based on an electronic origin at 14161 cm⁻¹ and on false origins. The luminescence spectrum exhibits a “mirror-image” relationship to the absorption spectrum and is interpreted as showing that the transition originates from the ¹δδ¹ excited state of the eclipsed ion.

The [2?+?2?+?2] mechanisms of trimerization of three ethynes and monosilaethylenes

The mechanisms of [2?+?2?+?2] reactions of three ethynes and monosilaethylenes to form benzene and 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane were studied by ab initio MO methods. The reaction mechanisms were analyzed by configuration interaction/localized molecular orbital/CASSCF calculations. Although the [2?+?2?+?2] reaction of ethyne is typically ??homologous?? concerted, that of monosilaethylene is polarized (ionic-cyclic) one-step reaction. In addition, the aromaticity along the intrinsic reaction coordinate pathway was studied using the index of deviation from aromaticity. Although the transition state of trimerization of ethyne does not have an aromatic nature for the ??- and ??-bonds formation system, the crossing point of the ??-bond formation and ??-bond breaking shows an aromatic nature.     

Synthesis and structure of oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazines of an expanded π-electron-deficient cavity and their interactions with anions

Novel macrocyclic anion receptors based on the principle of anion-π interactions were reported. By means of both post-macrocyclization modification protocol and the stepwise fragment coupling approach, functionalized oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazines bearing two other electron-deficient (hetero)aromatic rings on the lower rim were efficiently synthesized. The resulting oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine macrocyclesadopt 1,3-alternate conformation, yielding therefore an expanded electron-deficient cavity or space consisting of two triazine rings and two appending aromatic rings. Spectroscopic titration study showed the selective interaction of the pentafluorophenyl-substituted oxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine with azide and fluoride in solution with the binding constants (K(1:1)) ranging from 1.33 × 10(3) to 3.52 × 10(3) M(-1).     

Synthesis of derivatives of pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline heterocyclic system

An approach to the synthesis of derivatives of new heterocyclic system, pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]-furo[3,2-c]isoquinoline, was suggested. A condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with methyl 2-(chloromethyl)benzoate and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide leads to substituted pyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolin-5(6H)-ones. Similarly, a condensation reaction of substituted 3-cyanopyridin-2(1H)-ones with 2-(chloromethyl)benzonitrile and subsequent treatment of the condensation product with potassium tert-butoxide gives substituted 5-aminopyrido[3′,2′:4,5]furo[3,2-c]-isoquinolines.     

Photoinduced [4?+?2] cycloaddition reactions of benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-dione with alkenes

[4?+?2]-Photocycloadditions of benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-dione with electron-rich and electron-deficient alkenes have been described. Olefins preferentially add at both carbonyl groups to give the head-to-head [4?+?2] cycloadducts, i.e., dioxanes only. Comprehensive molecular orbital calculations at DFT-B3LYP level have been carried out to address the mechanism as well as regiochemical course of the reaction.     

Synthesis and structures of mercury and cadmium complexes: [Ph4Sb] 2 + [Hg2I6]2−·Ph2Hg, [Ph4Sb] 2 + [E2I6]2− (E = Hg, Cd), and [Ph4Sb] 2 + [Hg4I10]2−

The reaction of pentaphenylantimony with mercury iodide affords the ionic complex [Ph₄Sb] ₂ ⁺ [Hg₂I₆]^2?·Ph₂Hg (I). The [Ph₄Sb] ₂ ⁺ [Hg₂I₆]^2? (II) and [Ph₄Sb] ₂ ⁺ [Cd₂I₆]^2? (III) complexes are synthesized from tetraphenylantimony iodide and mercury and cadmium iodides. The [Ph₄Sb] ₂ ⁺ [Hg₄I₁₀]^2? complex (IV) is prepared from tetraphenylantimony 2,4-dimethylbenzenesulfonate and mercury iodide. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the Sb atom in the [Ph₄Sb]⁺ cations of complex I has virtually ideal tetrahedral coordination (the CSbC angles are 108.09°–109.64°). In the central square fragment Hg₂I₂ of the [Hg₂I₆]^2? anion, the Hg-I_br bond lengths are 2.825 and 3.075 Å, and the terminal iodine atoms are more strongly bonded to the mercury atoms (Hg-I_term 2.691 and 2.700 Å). The [Cd₂I₆]^2? anion in complex III has a similar structure (the Cd-I_bridg and Cd-I_term distances are 2.865, 2.872 and 2.723, 2.748 Å, respectively). The anions in complex IV are joined by I…Hg (3.651 Å) and I…I (4.058 Å) interactions into an infinite dimeric network.     

Studies on the Cyclisation of 4-[2′-Cyclohexenyl]-3-hydroxy[1]benzopyran-2-one

The bicyclic coumarin derivative-1, 3 propano-2-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrano [2, 3-c] [1]benzo-pyran-5-one (8) was synthesised by a sequence of reaction viz. acetylation of 4-[2′-cyclohexenyl] -3-hydroxy [1] benzopyran-2-one (4), addition of bromine to cyclohexenyl double bond and treating the resulting acetyldi-bromo derivative (7) with 4% alcoholic KOH.

Synthesis of spiro[furan-3,3′-indolin]-2′-ones by PET-catalyzed [3+2] reactions of spiro[indoline-3,2′-oxiran]-2-ones with electron-rich olefins

An efficient procedure for the synthesis of spiro[furan-3,3′-indolin]-2-ones and dispiro[cycloalkane-1,2′-furan-3′,3″-indolin]-2″-ones has been achieved in high yields and stereoselectivity by photoinduced electron transfer-catalyzed [3+2] reactions of substituted spiro[indoline-3,2′-oxiran]-2-ones with olefins. The reactions proceed by ring opening of spiro[indoline-3,2′-oxiran]-2-ones via C_β–O bond cleavage and subsequent cycloaddition with olefins by using 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetarfluoroborate (TPT) as a sensitizer.
