Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Electrochemistry of Metallophthalocyanines Substituted by Propylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene Derivatives

Zinc(II) and magnesium(II) phthalocyanines bearing four substituted propylenedithiotetrathiafulvalene (PDT-TTF) units were synthesized and characterized by NMR, MS, EA, and UV/VIS spectra. The absorption peaks of two target molecules were hypsochromically shifted compared with the phthalocyanine parent compound. Studies using cyclic voltammetry indicated that introduction of Zn and Mg as central metals enhanced the electronwithdrawing between the phthalocyanine core and the PDT-TTF unit, thus losing one electron to form (PDT-TTF)⁺ becomes more difficult.     

Synthesis and electrochemistry of new octa-substituted metal-free and metallophthalocyanines

The synthesis and characterization of metal-free (H₂-Pc) and metal-containing (Zn, Co, and Cu) derivatives of a symmetrically octa-substituted phthalocyanine derived from 4,5-bis[2-(phenylthio)ethoxy]phthalonitrile were carried out by microwave irradiation. The electrochemical properties of the metal-free phthalocyanine 4 and metallophthalocyanine complexes 5 and 6 were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. We have previously investigated the electrochemical properties of the tetra substituted 2-(phenylthio)ethoxy phthalocyanines. The reduction potential of the octa-substituted metal-free phthalocyanine shifted to more negative potential as a result of the electron donating of the 2-(phenylthio)ethoxy groups on the periphery compared to those of tetra substituted. The H₂Pc and ZnPc demonstrated ligand-based electron transfer processes, while CoPc complex has a metal-based reduction process. Similar aggregation behavior was observed for octa-substituted phthalocyanines. The compounds were characterized using IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, elemental analysis, and MS spectral data.     

Synthesis and characterisation of aromatic ethynyl-bridged ferrocenes

A series of aromatic ethynyl-bridged ferrocenes with the general formula Fc-CC-R-CC-Fc (Fc=ferrocenyl, R=C₆H₂(-p-CH₃)₂ (1), C₆H₄-p-C₆H₄ (2), C₅H₃N (3), 9,10-C₁₄H₈ (4), C₄H₂S (5), (C₄H₂S)₂ (6) and (C₄H₂S)₃ (7)) has been synthesised by the reaction of ethynyl ferrocene with the appropriate dibromo-arenes. The new complexes have been characterised by spectroscopic techniques. The structures of 3 and 7 were determined via X-ray crystallography, and both show the trans-trans configuration of the two ethynyl ferrocene groups with respect to the central R group. The electronic properties of the compounds have been studied via optical spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.     

Synthesis,electrochemical, in situ spectroelectrochemical and in situ electrocolorimetric characterization of new phthalocyanines peripherally fused to four flexible crown ether moieties

Novel Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) phthalocyanines with four peripheral 4-[methyleneoxy(18-crown-6)] groups have been synthesized via the cyclic tetramerization of 4-[{(18-crown-6)-yl}methyleneoxy]phthalonitrile and the corresponding metal salts (NiCl₂, Zn(CH₃COO)₂, CoCl₂ and CuCl₂). The thermal stabilities of the metal-free and metallophthalocyanine compounds were determined by thermogravimetric analysis. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed using elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, UV–Vis and MS spectral data. Voltammetric and in situ spectroelectrochemical measurements show that while the cobalt phthalocyanine complex gives both metal-based and ring-based redox processes, the metal-free, nickel, zinc and copper phthalocyanines show only ring-based reduction and oxidation processes. An in situ electrocolorimetric method has been applied to investigate the color of the electro-generated anionic and cationic forms of the complexes.

Synthesis,Spectroscopy, and Computational Analysis of Photoluminescent Bis(aminophenyl)‐Substituted Thiophene Derivatives

Substituted oligothiophenes have a long history in the field of organic electronics, as they often combine outstanding electro‐optical properties with the ease of synthesis. To assist the rational selection of the most promising structures to be synthesized, there is the demand for tools that allow prediction of the properties of the materials. In this study, we present strategies for synthesis and computational characterization, with respect to the fluorescence behavior of oligothiophene‐based materials for organoelectronic applications. In a combined approach, sophisticated computational methodologies are directly compared to experimental results. The M06‐2X functional in combination with the polarizable continuum model in a state‐specific formulation for excited‐state solvation proved to be particularly reliable. In addition, a semiclassical approach for describing the vibrational broadening of the spectra is employed. As a result, a robust procedure for the prediction of the fluorescence spectra of oligothiophene derivatives is presented.     

Donor-Acceptor Substituted Cyclohexasilanes: Materials with Potential Nonlinear Optical Properties

Summary.  The dipolar cyclohexasilanes 1-ferrocenyl-4-((2,2-dicyanoethenyl)-phenyl)-decamethylcyclohexasilane (1) and 1-ferrocenyl-3-((2,2-dicyanoethenyl)-phenyl)-decamethylcyclohexasilane (2) were synthesized by conventional methods and fully characterized. Electronic absorption spectroscopic studies suggest increased σ-π interactions in the cyclohexasilane derivatives when compared to their open-chained analogues. Small but noticeable electron transmission effects via the cyclohexasilanyl group can be derived from cyclic voltammetric data. Significantly increased values of the quadratic hyperpolarizabilities β in solution for 1 and 2 are shown by preliminary results of measurements using the EFISH technique. Received May 30, 2000.

Investigating the Thermostability of Succinate: Quinone Oxidoreductase Enzymes by Direct Electrochemistry at SWNTs‐Modified Electrodes and FTIR Spectroscopy

Succinate: quinone reductases (SQRs) are the enzymes that couple the oxidation of succinate and the reduction of quinones in the respiratory chain of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Herein, we compare the temperature‐dependent activity and structural stability of two SQRs, the first from the mesophilic bacterium Escherichia coli and the second from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus, using a combined electrochemical and infrared spectroscopy approach. Direct electron transfer was achieved with full membrane protein complexes at single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)‐modified electrodes. The possible structural factors that contribute to the temperature‐dependent activity of the enzymes and, in particular, to the thermostability of the Thermus thermophilus SQR are discussed.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic, and electrochemical properties of three tetrathiafulvalenes attached to perylene

Three donor–acceptor dyads 1–3 comprising of a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) unit linked with perylene by a simple σ-bond were synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry provided an indication that intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in their ground states between TTF and perylene for dyads 1–3 are negligible. Compared with the compound perylene, dyads 1–3 exhibited large fluorescence quenching, which might be ascribed to photo-induced electron transfer interaction between TTF and perylene units in the excited state.

Diastereoselective Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Electrochemistry of Ruthenium(II) Complexes of Substituted Pyrazolylpyridine Ligands

We report the synthesis of the hetero- and homoleptic ruthenium(II) complexes Ru(bpy)(2)L(2+), Ru(bpy)L(2)(2+) (bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine), and RuL(3)(2+) of six new bidentates L, the substituted pyrazolylpyridines 1-6 (1-substituted-3-(2-pyridinyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindazoles with substituents R = H, CH(3), Ph, or C(6)H(4)-4"-COOX where X = H, CH(3), or C(2)H(5)). These were fully characterized by (1)H- and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The UV-visible spectra and redox properties of the complexes, some in the ruthenium(III) and reduced bipyridine oxidation states, are also discussed. The substituents R played a role in determining the stereochemistry of the Ru(bpy)L(2)(2+) and RuL(3)(2+) products. The reaction of Ru(DMSO)(4)Cl(2) with 3 equiv of L bearing aromatic substituents gave only meridional RuL(3)(2+) isomers. The one-step reaction of Ru(bpy)Cl(3).H(2)O with 2 equiv of L provided a mixture of the three possible Ru(bpy)L(2)(2+) isomers, from which one symmetric isomer (labeled beta) was isolated pure. A trans arrangement of the pyrazole groups was deduced by (1)H-NMR and confirmed by X-ray crystallography for one such stereomer (beta-[Ru(bpy)(5)(2)](PF(6))(2), R = C(6)H(4)-4"-COOC(2)H(5)). In contrast, Ru(DMSO)(4)Cl(2) reacted with 2 equiv of L and then 1 equiv of bpy to selectively form the other symmetric isomer (labeled alpha) where the pyridine groups of L are trans. Crystal data for beta-[Ru(bpy)(5)(2)](PF(6))(2) (C(52)H(50)N(8)O(4)F(12)P(2)Ru) with Mo Kalpha (lambda = 0.710 73 ?) radiation at 295 K: a = 28.442(13) ?, b = 18.469(15) ?, c = 23.785(9) ?, beta = 116.76(0) degrees, monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 8. Fully anisotropic (except for H and disordered F atoms), full-matrix, weighted least-squares refinement on F(2) gave a weighted R on F(2) of 0.2573 corresponding to R on F of 0.1031 for data where F > 4sigma(F ).     

Electrochemistry and complexation of Josiphos ligands

The oxidative electrochemistry of 11 chiral bis-phosphinoferrocene ligands, all within the Josiphos class of ligands, was examined in methylene chloride. The oxidation of these ligands displays multiple waves of varying chemical reversibility. Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with the general formula [MCl₂(P-P)] (M = Pd or Pt; P-P = Josiphos) were prepared, characterized by NMR and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemistry simplifies greatly upon coordination of the Josiphos ligands. The X-ray structures of a palladium(II) and platinum(II) complex of the same Josiphos ligand are reported.     

Synthesis,Electrochemistry, and Hydrolysis of Anthraquinone Derivatives

Anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives, including members of the anthraquinone imide (AQI) family, have been synthesized to afford good candidates for electron-transfer studies in DNA. Electron-withdrawing groups on the AQ ring give a less negative reduction potential, as desired. As expected, the AQI derivatives have less negative reduction potentials than AQ derivatives. The AQI ring system has a half-life for hydrolysis of about 75 min in a 3:7 MeCN and 0.005 M K₂CO₃ in MeOH.     

Electrochemistry of Supramolecular Systems

What is the role of electrochemistry in supramolecular chemistry? On one hand, it provides information on energy and kinetics that is not available with spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques; on the other, it can be used to alter the electronic states and thus the interactions between molecules, resulting in new compounds and materials. A typical cyclic voltammogram of the complex shown is depicted on the right; only the first three reductions are presented, although a total of six electrons can be transferred to the bipyridine units sequentially (E in V vs. ferrocene/ferrocenium).

Aryloxo Derivatives of Phosphorus(V) Porphyrins. Synthesis, Spectroscopy, Electrochemistry, and Singlet State Properties

Aryloxo derivatives of phosphorus(V) porphyrins of the type [(TpTP)P(OR)(2)](+)OH(-) where TpTP is the dianion of tetra-p-tolylporphyrin and OR is an axial aryloxo (2,4-dimethylphenoxo, 4-methylphenoxo, phenoxo, 4-nitrophenoxo, 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)phenoxo, or 4-(2,4-dinitrophenoxy)phenoxo) ligand have been synthesized and fully characterized by FAB-mass, UV-vis, fluorescence, infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H and (31)P) spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetric methods. Each new porphyrin shows a typical "normal UV-vis absorption spectrum" indicating the presence of a P(V) ion in the porphyrin cavity. The proton-decoupled (31)P NMR signal observed for these compounds, between -194 and -200 ppm, suggests that there exists an octahedral coordination around the phosphorus atom, and this supposition is further substantiated by the porphyrin ring-current-induced upfield shifts observed for protons on the two axial aryloxo ligands in the (1)H NMR spectra. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that each porphyrin undergoes two successive, one-electron reductions with the site of electron transfer being the porphyrin ring. The fluorescence quantum yield values of these porphyrins are found to be sensitive to the nature of the aryloxo ligand and also to the solvent polarity. The singlet state properties of these systems have been discussed in light of both the fluorescence and the redox potential data.
