Luminescent Symmetrically and Unsymmetrically Substituted Diboranes(4)

A series of 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl and pentafluorophenyl-substituted 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)diboranes(4) of type A , benzo-fused cyclic 1,4-diaza-2,3-diborinanes of type B , and 1,2-diduryldiboranes(4) of type C were synthesized and structurally characterized. Spectroscopic studies revealed that the substitution pattern is a decisive factor for the observation of fluorescence in most of the derivatives A to C . For diboranes(4) of type A , unsymmetrical substitution with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups at the boron centers is crucial to invoke fluorescence, albeit weak. Substitution at the boron atoms of 1,4-diaza-2,3-diborinane species B leads to a modified skeletal structure. Finally, the grafting of 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl groups to diboranes(4) of type C results in extraordinary Stokes shifts in nonpolar solvents.     

Synthesis and Thermal Rearrangement of Tetramethyldisilane-bridged Bis(cyclopentadienyl) Diiron Complexes with Bis(phosphine)Substitution

Photolysis of [Me2SiSiMe2)[C5H4Fe(CO2)]2with a series of bis(phosphine)ligands Ph2P(CH2)n PPh2(n=1-4) leads to the formation of the corresponding diiron complexes with intramolecular and intermolecular bis(phosphine) substitution.When these complexes were heated in refluxing xylene.only in the complexes with intermolecular bis(phosphine )substitution the thermal rearrangement reaction occurred.     

Synthesis of Rigid and Optically Active Bis(binaphthyl) Cyclic Compounds

Optically active cyclic bis(binaphthyl)s (4a–d), which are composed of aromatics, ethers, and ketonic carbonyls, were synthesized through a two‐step nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Bis(binaphthyl) cyclic compounds (4a and 4b) were obtained in moderate yields when difluoride 3a and 3b were employed. On the other hand, bis(binaphthyl)s 4c and 4d were scarcely obtained when 3c and 3d were employed.     

Tetraaryldiborane(4) Can Emit Dual Fluorescence Responding to the Structural Change around the B–B Bond

We report the successful synthesis of tetramesityldiborane(4) (Mes₄B₂) through the reductive coupling of a dimesitylborinium ion. Owing to the steric protection conferred by the mesityl groups, Mes₄B₂ shows exceptional chemical stability and remains intact in water. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed that Mes₄B₂ has an orthogonal geometry, where the B–B center is completely hidden by the mesityl groups. Remarkably, Mes₄B₂ emits dual fluorescence at 460 and 620 nm, both in solution and in the solid state. Theoretical calculations showed that Mes₄B₂ in the excited S₁ state adopts a twisted or planar geometry, which is responsible for the shorter- or longer-wavelength fluorescence, respectively. The intensity ratio of the dual fluorescence is sensitive to the viscosity of the medium, which suggests that Mes₄B₂ has potential as a ratiometric viscosity sensor.     

Synthesis of Cobalt Bis(Dicarbollide)—Curcumin Conjugates for Potential Use in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

A series of novel cobalt bis(dicarbollide)—curcumin conjugates were synthesized. Two conjugates were obtained through the nucleophilic ring-opening reaction of the 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydropyran derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) with the OH group of curcumin, and using two equiv. of the oxonium derivatives, two other conjugates containing two cobalt bis(dicarbollide) units per molecule were obtained. In contrast to curcumin, the conjugates obtained were found to be non-cytotoxic against both tumor and normal cell lines. The analysis of the intracellular accumulation of the conjugates by flow cytometry showed that all cobalt bis(dicarbollide)—curcumin conjugates entered HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells in a time-dependent manner. New non-cytotoxic conjugates contain a large amount of boron atoms in the biomolecule and can potentially be used for further biological research into boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Diborane(4) Azides: Surprisingly Stable Sources of Transient Iminoboranes

Herein we describe the first examples of isolable electron‐precise diboranes(4) that bear azide moieties: the acyclic 1,2‐diazido‐1,2‐bis(dimethylamino)diborane(4) and the cyclic 1,4‐diaryl‐2,3‐diazido‐1,4‐diaza‐2,3‐diborinines (aryl=mesityl, 2,6‐xylyl, 4‐tolyl). The reported examples are not only stable enough to be observed and isolated (putative transient diborane(4) azides previously reported by our group spontaneously decompose even below room temperature), but some of them are even robust enough to undergo controlled pyrolysis without explosive decomposition at temperatures well above 100 °C. In two cases, the controlled pyrolysis allows the isolation of complex diazaboretidines, which are the apparent dimerization products of endocyclic boryl‐iminoboranes.     

Reaction of B2(o‐tol)4 with CO and Isocyanides: Cleavage of the C≡O Triple Bond and Direct C−H Borylations

The reaction of highly Lewis acidic tetra(o‐tolyl)diborane(4) with CO afforded a mixture of boraindane and boroxine by the cleavage of the C≡O triple bond. ¹³C labeling experiments confirmed that the carbon atom in the boraindane stems from CO. Simultaneously, formation of boroxine 3 could be considered as borylene transfer to capture the oxygen atom from CO. The reaction of diborane(4) with ^tBu?NC afforded an azaallene, while the reaction with Xyl?NC furnished cyclic compounds by direct C?H borylations.

Efficient Synthesis of Bis(4-Dimethaminophenyl)arylmethanes and Bis(4-Diamethaminophenyl)alkanes Using Iodine Reagent

A novel synthetic utility of NaICl₂ for the preparation of bis(4-dimethaminophenyl)arylmethanes and bis(4-dimethaminophenyl)alkanes is described. In the presence of an aqueous solution of NaICl₂, the reaction of arenes with aromatic aldehydes gives corresponding triarylmethane derivatives regioselectively in moderate to good yields. The method is also useful for the preparation of diarylalkane derivatives by using aliphatic aldehydes.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Singly,Doubly, and Triply Bridged Derivatives of Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene with Bis(2-hydroxyethyl) Ether and 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol

Abstract

The reactions of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, N₃P₃Cl₆ (1), with 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol (2), and bis(2-hydroxyethyl) ether (3) have been previously reported. Although both reactions gave the expected spiro, ansa, and bridged type products, open-chain and triply bridged derivatives from both systems and singly bridged derivatives from 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol (2) were not isolated, and doubly bridged compounds were only detected in trace amounts in both systems. However, in a subsequent reinvestigation in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, the reaction of 1 with the diols 2 and 3 gave the open chain compounds N₃P₃Cl₅[O(CH₂)₂CMe₂OH] (4) and N₃P₃Cl₅[(OCH₂CH₂)₂OH] (5), the singly bridged compound N₃P₃Cl₅[(OCH₂)₂-CMe₂]N₃P₃Cl₅ (6), the doubly bridged compounds N₃P₃Cl₄[(OCH₂)₂CMe₂]₂N₃P₃Cl₄ (8) and N₃P₃Cl₄[(OCH₂CH₂)₂O]₂N₃P₃Cl₄ (9), and the triply bridged compounds N₃P₃Cl₃[(OCH₂)₂-CMe₂]₃N₃P₃Cl₃ (10) and N₃P₃Cl₃[(OCH₂CH₂)₂O]₃N₃P₃Cl₃ (11).

The doubly bridged derivatives were also isolated in better yields relative to earlier reports. The substituted cyclotriphosphazenes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, as well as by ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It is found that with variation of the solvent there is a decrease in the product formed by intramolecular reactions (spiro and ansa derivatives) and a concomitant increase in the amount of products formed by intermolecular reactions (singly, doubly, and triply bridged derivatives) of cyclophosphazene.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Catalytic Properties of a New 2D Nickel(II) Coordination Polymer Based on Flexible Bis(benzimidazole)

A new Ni(II) coordination polymer [Ni(L)2(SCN)2]n(L = 1,4-bis(benzimidazol-1-yl)butane) was synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 9.4760(3), b = 24.0408(8), c = 16.5871(5) A, β = 99.832(3)°, V = 3723.2(2) A3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.348 g/cm3, F(000) = 1576, the final R = 0.0486 and w R = 0.0936 for 2938 observed reflections with I 2σ(I) for the complex. Structural analysis shows that the coordination polymer possesses a 2D(4,4) layer structure which is composed of Ni(II) centers bridged by L ligand with two kinds of conformations and further assembled into a 3D supramolecular network via π-π stacking interactions. In addition, the fluorescence and catalytic properties, for the degradation of Congo red, of the complex were investigated.
