Synthesis of unsymmetric triphenylene discotic liquid crystals with a semi-fluorinated chain and the influence of fluorophobic effect on mesogenic behavior

The fluorophobic effect of the semi-fluorinated chain of discotic molecules efficiently improves the stability of columnar mesophase.Low symmetric discogens exhibit decreased melting points and wide mesophase ranges.A series of triphenylene derivatives 1,C18H6(OCnH2n+1)4(OMe)(O2CC2H4C6F13),and their hydrocarbon analogues 2,C18H6(OCnH2n+1)4(OMe)(O2CC8H17),n = 4―8,were synthesized for the investigation of the influence of semi-fluorinated peripheral chain and molecular symmetry on mesomorphism.The structures ...     

Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the thermal decomposition of zinc(ii) dialkyldithiocarbamate complexes

The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the thermal decomposition of Zn(S₂CNR₂)₂ complexes (R=CH₃, C₂H₅ and n-C₃H₇) were determined with the dynamic thermogravimetric method. Superimposed TG/DTG/DSC curves show that thermal decomposition reactions for chelates with R=C₂H₅ and n-C₃H₇ occur in the liquid phase, at temperatures far away from their melting points, whereas for the complex with R=CH₃ the thermal decomposition begins at a temperature closer to its melting point, suggesting a rather complex decomposition mechanism. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

In the system tetrabutylammonium adipate-water, two stable and two metastable polyhydrates were identified. The melting points of the polyhydrates were correlated with the anion hydrocarbon chain length in the series H₂O-[(C₄H₉)₄N]₂(CH₂) _n C₂O₄ (n = 0-8).     

Supramolecular architecture in azaheterocyclic phosphonates. III. Structures of an ethyl phosphonamidate and an ethyl phosphonate

The novel crystal structures of ethyl (S)‐P‐(4‐oxo‐4H‐benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐3‐yl)‐N‐[(R)‐1‐phenylethyl]phosphonamidate, C₂₀H₂₀N₃O₃PS, I , and diethyl (4‐isopropyl‐2‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2‐a]pyrimidin‐3‐yl)phosphonate, C₁₈H₂₅N₂O₄PS, II , were characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The crystal packing of I is dominated by two infinite stacks composed of symmetry‐independent molecules linked by distinctively different hydrogen‐bond systems. The structure of II shows a ladder packing topology similar to those observed in related phosphorylated azaheterocycles. Structural studies are supplemented by calculations on the interactions stabilizing the molecular assemblies using the PIXEL method. Additionally, fingerprint plots derived from the Hirshfeld surfaces were generated for each structure to characterize the crystal packing arrangements in detail. The aromaticities of the heterocyclic moieties have been investigated using HOMA and HOMHED parametrization and compared with structures reported previously.     

Evaluation of AM1-calculated radical cation ion-neutral complexes

AM1 semiempirical molecular orbital calculations are reported for 20 ion-neutral complexes, including hydrogen-bonded complexes, presumably involved in the gas-phase unimolecular decomposition of simple organic radical cations. The systems investigated are [C₂H₄O₂]^˙+, [C₂H₅NO]^˙+, [C₂H₆O]^˙+, [C₂H₆O₂]^˙+, [C₃H₆O]^˙+, [C₃H₆O₂]^˙+, [C₃H₈O]^˙+, and [C₃H₈O₂]^˙+. The AM1 results are compared with ab initio molecular orbital calculations at different levels of theory up to MP3/6-31G(d, p)//SCF/6-31G(d) + ZPVE and the available experimental data. AM1 fails to predict some local minima and the equilibrium geometries calculated for several complexes are found to be qualitatively different from those predicted by the ab initio calculations. However, reasonable agreement is generally found for the stabilization energies of the complexes toward dissociation into their loosely bound components. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

氢键稳定的苯并菲盘状液晶的合成及介晶性

盘状液晶分子能自组装成高度有序的六方柱状介晶相. 其各向异性的载流子高速迁移率使其成为较理想的有机光电子材料. 采用分子间氢键锚定柱状相, 获得介晶相温度范围宽、有序度高的苯并菲盘状液晶是本研究的目的. 本文通过分子设计, 合成了3个系列, 共18个有两种不同软链的苯并菲盘状液晶化合物C₁₈H₆(OR)₅(OCH₂COOEt), C₁₈H₆(OR)₅(OCH₂COOBu)和C₁₈H₆(OR)₅(OCH₂CONHBu), 其中R＝C_nH_2n＋1, n＝4～9. 化合物的纯度和结构通过¹H NMR和元素分析确证. 化合物热稳定性通过热重分析(TGA)测定, 并显示出较高的热稳定性. 通过偏光显微镜(POM)和差示扫描量热法(DSC)对这些化合物的热致液晶性进行了研究. 结果显示对于分子中含有酰胺基的苯并菲液晶化合物C₁₈H₆(OR)₅(OCH₂CONHBu), 与具有同样软链长度的分子中不含酰胺键的化合物系列C₁₈H₆(OR)₅(OCH₂COOBu)相比较, 前者由于柱内分子间氢键的形成, 具有更高的熔点和清亮点.     

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 4-alkylamino-4'-substituted diphenyldiacetylenes

Various substituted aminodiphenyldiacetylenes of the type with X = C₃H₇, C₅H₁₁, F or NO₂ and R, R' = H, CH₃-C₆H₁₃ were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties determined. Semi-empirical and ab initio quantum chemical calculations using AM1, 421G and 631G* suggested that the amino group would increase the dielectric anisotropy and optical birefringence as compared to the alkyl chain. Mesomorphic properties were found to be poor with the maximum nematic phase range being 44.8°C and many of the compounds having no nematic phase. Both melting temperatures and enthalpies for those having nematic phases were too high to form good eutectic mixtures.     

Preparation of linear low‐density polyethylene by the in situ copolymerization of ethylene with an iron oligomerization catalyst and rac‐ethylene bis(indenyl) zirconium (IV) dichloride

An iron oligomerization catalyst, [(2‐ArN?C(Me))₂C₅H₃N]FeCl₂ [Ar = 2,6‐C₆H₃(F)₂], was combined with rac‐ethylene bis(indenyl)zirconium (IV) dichloride [rac‐Et(Ind)₂ZrCl₂] to prepare linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) by the in situ copolymerization of ethylene. A series of LLDPEs with different properties were prepared by the alteration of the reaction temperature, Fe/Zr molar ratio, Al/(Fe + Zr) molar ratio, and reaction time. The structures of the polymers were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry, ¹³C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and so forth. The melting points, crystallizations, and densities of the resulting products increased, and the average branching degree decreased, as the reaction temperature, Al/(Fe + Zr) ratio, and reaction time increased. The melting points, crystallizations, and densities of the polymers decreased, and the average branching degree increased, when the Fe/Zr ratio increased. The ¹³C NMR and GPC results showed that there were no unreacted α‐olefins remaining in the resulting polymers because the percentage of low‐molar‐mass sections (C₄–C₁₀) of the oligomers obtained with this catalyst was very high (>70%). In addition, the formation of polymers with two melting points under different reaction conditions was examined in detail, and the results indicated that the two melting points of the polymers could be attributed to polyethylene with different branches. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and mesomorphism of mixed ether-ester tail triphenylene discotic liquid crystals with long alkyloxy peripheral chains

Symmetrical and asymmetrical triphenylene discotic liquid crystals with two kinds of different peripheral chains, sym-TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃ and asym-TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=CH₂OC₂H₅, CH₂OC₃H₇, CH₂OC₄H₉, CH₂OC₅H₁₁, C₃H₇, C₄H₉, C₅H₁₁, C₆H₁₃, C₇H₁₅) were synthesized. Their thermotropic liquid crystalline properties were studied by polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the asymmetrical compounds had higher melting and clearing points than that of their corresponding symmetrical compounds. For the same series of compounds, TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, their melting points decrease and clearing points increase gradually with the lengthening of ester chains. Most of the β-oxygen containing esters of triphenylene derivatives, TP (OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=CH₂OC₂H₅, CH₂OC₃H₇, CH₂OC₄H₉, CH₂OC₅H₁₁), symmetrically or asymmetrically attached on triphenylene cores, have higher melting and clearing points than those of triphenylene derivatives, TP(OC₁₁H₂₃)₃(O₂CR)₃, (R=C₄H₉, C₅H₁₁, C₆H₁₃, C₇H₁₅), with the same length of peripheral chains. The triphenylene derivatives with longer peripheral chains have shown mesophase at room temperature. __________ Translated from Chemical Research and Application, 2007, 19(10) (in Chinese)     

Charge Effects in PCP Pincer Complexes of NiII bearing Phosphinite and Imidazol(i)ophosphine Coordinating Jaws: From Synthesis to Catalysis through Bonding Analysis

This contribution reports on a new family of Ni^II pincer complexes featuring phosphinite and functional imidazolyl arms. The proligands ^RPIMC^HOP^R′ react at room temperature with Ni^II precursors to give the corresponding complexes [(^RPIMCOP^R′)NiBr], where ^RPIMCOP^R=κ^P,κ^C,κ^P‐{2‐(R′₂PO),6‐(R₂PC₃H₂N₂)C₆H₃}, R=iPr, R′=iPr ( 3 b , 84 %) or Ph ( 3 c , 45 %). Selective N‐methylation of the imidazole imine moiety in 3 b by MeOTf (OTf=OSO₂CF₃) gave the corresponding imidazoliophosphine [(^iPrPIMIOCOP^iPr)NiBr][OTf], 4 b , in 89 % yield (^iPrPIMIOCOP^iPr=κ^P,κ^C,κ^P‐{2‐(iPr₂PO),6‐(iPr₂PC₄H₅N₂)C₆H₃}). Treating 4 b with NaOEt led to the NHC derivative [(NHCCOP^iPr)NiBr], 5 b , in 47 % yield (NHCCOP^iPr=κ^P,κ^C,κ^C‐{2‐(iPr₂PO),6‐(C₄H₅N₂)C₆H₃)}). The bromo derivatives 3–5 were then treated with AgOTf in acetonitrile to give the corresponding cationic species [(^RPIMCOP^R)Ni(MeCN)][OTf] [R=Ph, 6 a (89 %) or iPr, 6 b (90 %)], [(^RPIMIOCOP^R)Ni(MeCN)][OTf]₂ [R=Ph, 7 a (79 %) or iPr, 7 b (88 %)], and [(NHCCOP^R)Ni(MeCN)][OTf] [R=Ph, 8 a (85 %) or iPr, 8 b (84 %)]. All new complexes have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, whereas 3 b , 3 c , 5 b , 6 b , and 8 a were also subjected to X‐ray diffraction studies. The acetonitrile adducts 6 – 8 were further studied by using various theoretical analysis tools. In the presence of excess nitrile and amine, the cationic acetonitrile adducts 6 – 8 catalyze hydroamination of nitriles to give unsymmetrical amidines with catalytic turnover numbers of up to 95.
