Enhancement of Two-photon Absorption by Ce^3＋ Sensitization in Organic Dyes

The two-photon absorption(TPA)and TPA-induced frequency upconversion emission properties of the dyes 4-[P-(dicyanoethylamino)crystal]-N-methypyrdinium iodide and the complex of 4-[P-(dicyanoethylamino)crystal]-N-methypyrdinium iodide and Ce(NO3)3 were experimentally studied.It was found that the TPA cross section for the dye sensitized by Ce3 is two factors larger than that of the dye without being sensitized.A three-level system model of the dye molecules was used to analyze the enhancement of TPA by the sensitizer Ce3 ,which indicated that the sensitizer results in the increase of the transition dipole moment from the one-photon allowed excited state(1Bu)to the two-photon allowed excited state(2Ag).     

Synthesis and electronic properties of expanded 5-(hetero)aryl-thien-2-yl substituted 3-ethynyl quinoxalines with AIE characteristics

Expanded 5-(hetero)aryl-thien-2-yl substituted 3-ethynyl quinoxaline dyes with variable substitution pattern on the peripheral thiophene ring were synthesized in moderate to very good yields by Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling of the corresponding brominated 3-ethynyl quinoxalines. Dumbbell-shaped bis(thienyl 3-ethynyl quinoxalines) are also accessible by the Suzuki protocol. The photophysical properties were investigated by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Most of the obtained compounds display fluorescence in solution and some of them also in the solid state. Additionally, tuning of the emission color of the quinoxaline based chromophores can be conveniently accomplished by the remote substituent group. The determined absorption and emission maximum as well as the Stokes shifts strongly correlate with Hammett σp+parameters. Besides,photophysical properties of selected derivatives in the solid state, biphasic solutions, and PMMA films, along with their relationships, are comparatively investigated. Moreover, two 5-(hetero)aryl-thien-2-yl substituted 3-ethynyl quinoxaline dyes are aggregation induced emission(AIE) chromophores indicated by restriction of molecular motions. A covalently restricted 3-ethynyl quinoxaline supports that the inhibition of molecular rotation is responsible for the significant enhancement of fluorescence in acetonitrile/water mixtures.     

脂族酰基过氧化物分解动力学的分研究 III: 过氧化3,5,5-三甲基己酰在萃中的解动力学和机理

The kinetics of decomposition of 3, 5, 5-trimethylhexanoyl peroxide (1) in benzene has been studied at 30, 40 and 50`C and the cage effect of decomposition has been determined by scavenging method. The relative amounts of the main products of decomposition of 1 at 50`C with change of initial concentration have been determined. The results showed that the decomposition of 1 followed first plus three halves order kinetics as reported for lauroyl peroxide (2), but had a larger cage effect of 0.6. The mechanism of decomposition of 1 is practically the same as what we have proposed for 2. The faster rate and larger cage effect but less induced decomposition of 1 than that of 2 are attributed to the branching of the molecule of 1, especially to the presence of β-methyl group, which causes a larger entropy increase in the transition state.     

Self-assembly of Bis[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridine]Copper(Ⅱ) Induced by C-H…π and π…π Stacking Interaction

Introduction The control of molecular assembly in the solid state is an important theme of modern chemistry.It is in this regard that there is an activity in the area of supramolecular structures at present.The self-assembly of molecules can form well-defined supramolecular structures under the influence of drive forces such as hydrogen bonds[1-3],metal-ligand coordination bonds[4-6] and π…π stacking interactions[7-10].Word et al.have described the co-ordination chemistry of polydentate chelating ligands which contain mixed pyridine-phenol donor sets[11].Some unusual structures of transition metal pyridine-phenol complexes have been established in which non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π…π stacking appear to play a dominant part.These observations suggest that it might be possible to construct supramolecular structures with a metal pyridine-phenol system.To explore this idea we have begun to investigate the self-assembly properties of metal pyridine-phenol complexes.Herein we present the self-assembly properties of Cu(pp)2[pp=2-(2-hydroxyphenol)-pyridine] under different conditions.     

SHG Materials Based on the AlPO4-5 Single Crystals

Large AlPO4-5 molecular sieve single crystals with high optical quality were synthesized hydrothermally by using TPA as template. As-synthesized crystals were calcined under O2 atmosphere to remove the organic templates in the channels. Disperse-Red-1 (DR1) and p-nitroaniline (pNA) molecules have been successfully incorporated into the one-dimensional channels of AlPO4-5 single crystals respectively by means of vapor phase diffusion. XRD patterns reveal that the loading of organic molecules has not destroyed the structures of AlPO4-5 crystals. Polarizing microscope and SHG results indicate that the DR1 and pNA molecules are well aligned in a preferred direction along the crystal channels. The different polarization-dependence SH intensity shows that different SHG processes occur in the DR1- and pNA-loaded AlPO4-5 crystals.     

Computational Investigation on the Allosteric Modulation of Androgen Receptor

Androgens have similar structures with different biological activities. To identify molecular determinants responsible for the activity difference, we have docked six steroidal androgens to the binding site or the surface of androgen receptor by using molecular docking with computational investigation. The energy was calculated respectively based on the QM (quantum mechanics) and MM (molecular mechanics) methods. The result shows that the allosteric modulation of androgen receptor plays an important role in the binding process between androgens and receptor. The open state receptor is less stable than the close state one, but the latter is more favorable for binding with androgens. It is worthy of note that when the androgen receptors binding or without binding with androgen are in close state, they are difficult to return to their open state. This phenomenon is an exception of the well known two-state model theory in which the two states are reversible. Whether the internal of close state androgen receptor has a combination of androgen or not, the androgen receptor surface can be combined with another androgen, and their surface binding energies could be very close. The result is consistent with the experimental observations, but this phenomenon of continuous combination from open state is also an exception of the two-state model theory.     

2-取代苯亚胺基噻唑烷类化合物的晶体结构研究

A series of 2-phenyliminothiazolidines has been successfully synthesized; and 2-(2-methylphenyl) iminothiazolidine (I a) and 2-(4-methylphenyl) iminothiazolidine (I b) have been selected to determine their crystal structures by X-ray diffraction technique,from their molecular graph of it is shown that double bond at 2-carbon atom of the heterocycle is all extro-cychc at the crystal state,and there are two main plaines in I a and I b.But in I a ,the angle between the planes is 61.4° and in I b the angle is about 41.4°.And so there is a strong conjugative effect in I b than in I a.So it is thought that the difference in fungicidal activities between 2-substitutedphenyl compounds (I a) and 4-substitutedphenyl compounds(I b) is due to their space factors.     

Photochromic properties and reaction mechanism of naphthopyran

The photochromic properties and reaction mechanism of title compounds have been examined with steady method on compounds 3-phenyl-3-[3-methylbenzothiophene-2-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (1) and 3-phenyl-3-[benzofuran-2-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (2) and nanosecond laser flash photolysis techniques on compound 3-phenyl-3-[1,2-dimethylindol-3-yl]-3H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyran (3). The influence of oxygen on transient spectra and decay kinetics of compound 3 has been investigated. Both excited singlet state and triplet state are involved in the photochromic mechanism of compound 3. The influence of molecular structure on photochromic behavior has been studied also. Decay kinetics indicated that the lifetime of colored forms of 1 and 2 were several orders of magnitude longer than that of 3.     

New Thiophene Derivatives with Two-photon Excited Fluorescence

Organic molecules that can simultaneously absorb two or more photons in reaching theirexcited states have recently been the subject in various photon-electronic fields.

These dyes generallybelong to the structural modes of D-π-D, A-π-A3 or D-π-A, where D…     

Properties of a water layer on hydrophilic and hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer surfaces: A molecular dynamics study

The microscopic behaviors of a water layer on different hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces of well ordered self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The SAMs consist of 18-carbon alkyl chains bound to a silicon(111) substrate, and the characteristic of its surface is tuned from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by using different terminal functional groups ( CH 3 , COOH). In the simulation, the properties of water membranes adjacent to the surfaces of SAMs were reported by comparing pure water in mobility, structure, and orientational ordering of water molecules. The results suggest that the mobility of water molecules adjacent to hydrophilic surface becomes weaker and the molecules have a better ordering. The distribution of hydrogen bonds indicates that the number of water-water hydrogen bonds per water molecule tends to be lower. However, the mobility of water molecules and distribution of hydrogen bonds of a water membrane in hydropho- bic system are nearly the same as those in pure water system. In addition, hydrogen bonds are mainly formed between the hydroxyl of the COOH group and water molecules in a hydrophilic system, which is helpful in understanding the structure of interfacial water.

The rate constant for ring opening of the 1-(trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl)ethen-1-yl radical, 4, generated by photolysis of the corresponding vinyl iodide 2, is reported. The value of the rate constant was determined by the tin hydride method and was found to be (1.6+/-0.2)x10(10) s-1, one order of magnitude smaller than the rate constant for rearrangement of the trans-2-phenylcyclopropylcarbinyl radical.

Synthesis of 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives by base-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates and N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamides

We have studied the base-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates and N-(cis(trans)-3,trans(cis)-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamides, investigating the effect of the nitrogen protecting group and the relative configuration of the leaving group at C3 and C4 on the outcome of this reaction. We have observed that the sodium hydride-promoted heterocyclization of alkyl N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates (10, 12, 14, 16, 18) is a convenient method for the synthesis of 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives. For instance, the reaction of tert-butyl N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamate (10) with sodium hydride in DMF at room temperature provides 2-bromo-7-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (2) (52% yield), whose t-BuOK-promoted hydrogen bromide elimination affords 7-[(tert-butoxy)carbonyl]-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene (31) in 78% yield, an intermediate in the total synthesis of epibatidine (1). However, the NaH/DMF-mediated heterocyclization of alkyl N-(trans-3,cis-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)carbamates (11, 13) is a more structure dependent reaction, where the nucleophilic attack of the oxygen atom of the protecting group controls the outcome of the reaction, giving rise to benzooxazolone and 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives, respectively, from low to moderate yields, in complex reaction mixtures. Conversely, the NaH/DMF heterocyclizations of N-(cis-3,trans-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (40) or N-(trans-3,cis-4-dibromocyclohex-1-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (42) are very clean reactions giving 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane or 2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene derivatives, respectively, in good yields. Finally, a mechanistic investigation, based on DFT calculations, has been carried out to rationalize the formation of the different adducts.

Synthesis, crystal structures, linear and nonlinear optical properties, and theoretical studies of (p-R-phenyl)-, (p-R-phenylethynyl)-, and (E)-[2-(p-R-phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes and related compounds

The (p-R-phenyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, Br, I), (p-R-phenylethynyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, H), (E)-[2-(p-R-phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, H(2)N, MeO, MeS, H, CN, NO(2)), (E)-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane, and (E)-[2-(o-carboranyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane have been prepared through the reaction of the appropriate p-R-phenyl- and p-R-phenylethynyllithium reagents with dimesitylboron fluoride and by hydroboration of the appropriate p-R-phenylacetylene, 2-ethynylthiophene, and o-ethynylcarborane with dimesitylborane. Their UV/Vis absorption and emission spectra have been recorded in a range of solvents with the fluorescence maxima of the donor-substituted compounds in particular exhibiting large bathochromic shifts in highly polar solvents, indicative of charge transfer leading to large dipole moments in the excited state. The molecular structures of the (p-R-phenyl)dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, MeO, MeS, Br, I), the (E)-[2-(p-R-phenyl)ethenyl]dimesitylboranes (R=Me(2)N, H(2)N MeO, MeS, H), (p-R-phenylethynyl)dimesitylborane (R=Me(2)N), and (E)-[2-(2-thienyl)ethenyl]dimesitylborane, which have been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, offer evidence of increased conjugation in the ground state with increased donor strength of the R substituent. Their first- and second-order molecular hyperpolarizabilities have been obtained from EFISH and THG measurements, the first-order hyperpolarizabilities being largest for the strongest R-substituent donors. AM1 calculations have been performed on these compounds, showing reasonable agreement with the experimentally obtained bond lengths and hyperpolarizabilities, as well as on several related hypothetical compounds containing multiple C==C bonds, most of which are proposed to have even larger hyperpolarizabilities.
