Synthesis and structural studies of [n](2,4)pyridinophane ring system

The facile synthesis of [n](2,4)pyridinophane ring system (n = 9–6) was accomplished by the reaction of N-(1-phenylvinyl)iminophosphorane with cyclic α, β-unsaturated ketones. The chain flipping was studied by 1H NMR spectra at various temperatures.     

The syntheses and conformational studies of [n](2,4)heterophanes and [7](3,5)pyrazolophane

Synthetic sequences from (n + 3)-membered 2-cycloalkenones provide furan, thiophene and pyrrole derivatives bridged at the 2,4-positions by n-methylene chains (n = 6, 7, and 9) as well as a pyrazole derivative bridged at the 3,5-positions (n = 7). The molecular geometry as a function of the chain length has been investigated spectrometrically. The aliphatic chain of [7](2,4)pyrrolophane and [7](3,5)pyrazolophane is found to reside in the one side of the respective heteroaromatic rings even at 205°, whereas that of [7](2,4)thiophenophane flips up and down the thiophene ring upon heating, the energy barrier ΔG_c^≠ being 18·2 kcal/mol (T_c 111°C at 60 MHz). The conformational behaviour of the heptamethylene chain is thus dependent on the angle between the bonds connecting each heteroaromatic carbon with the benzylic one. Though the hexamethylene chain of the [6](2,4)heterophanes is fixed to the one side of the aromatic ring, the nonamethylene chain of the [9]-homologues is rapidly moving between the both sides even at room temperature. The red-shifts of the B-bands are attributed to the distorted, nonplanar heteroaromatic rings. The mass spectra of these heterophanes indicate the initial C(1)-C(2) fission of the polymethylene chain probably due to the steric strain of the systems.     

Gram-Scale Synthesis of the 1,1,n,n-Tetramethyl[n](2,11)teropyrenophanes

A gram-scale synthesis of a series of 1,1,n,n-tetramethyl[n](2,11)teropyrenophanes (n=7–9) has been accomplished as well as the first synthesis of the next higher homologue 1,1,10,10-tetramethyl[10](2,11)teropyrenophane. The scale-up of the original small-scale synthesis required the development of several heavily modified synthetic methods, including a chlorination/Friedel–Crafts alkylation protocol and an iodination/Wurtz coupling protocol, which were performed on 25–30 g and 30–60 g scales, respectively. Two separate sets of conditions for the key teropyrene-forming cyclodehydrogenation reaction at the end of the synthetic pathway were developed, an acid-promoted one for the two less strained congeners and an acid-free method for the two more strained homologues.     

Novel synthesis, static and dynamic properties, and structural characteristics of 5-cyano[n](2,4)pyridinophane-6-ones (n= 9-6) and their chemical transformations

A novel synthesis of 5-cyano[n](2,4)pyridinophane-6-ones 12a-d (n= 9, 8, 7, and 6) consists of allowing cyanoacetatoamide to react with cycloalk-2-enones. Their static and dynamic properties as well as structural characteristics are studied on the basis of their spectroscopic properties, cyclic voltammetry, and theoretical calculations. The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra at various temperatures have clarified the dynamic behavior of the methylene chains for [7](2,4)- and [6](2,4)pyridinophane-6-one derivatives 12c and 12d. The energy barrier (Delta G(++)) of the bridge flipping of 12c is estimated to be 12.0 kcal mol(-1)(T(c)= 0 degree C). On the other hand, compound 12d undergoes pseudorotation (conformational change of the methylene chain) at room temperature, and does not undergo bridge flipping even at 150 degree C in DMSO-d(6). The energy barrier (Delta G(++)) of the pseudorotation of the methylene chain 12d of is found to be 10.5 kcal mol(-1)(T(c)=-25 degree C), and thus, two stable conformers of the hexamethylene bridge of 12d are determined as predicted by theoretical calculations. Deformation of the pyridone ring of 12d is also determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Furthermore, chemical transformations of 12a-c leading to 5-carbamoyl[n](2,4)pyridinophanes 15a-c are also accomplished successfully in moderate to good yields.     

Synthesis and complexing properties of [2.n](2,6)pyridinocrownophanes

[2.n](2,6)Pyridinocrownophanes (3a-e) were efficiently prepared by intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of vinylpyridine derivatives under irradiation using a 400-W high-pressure mercury lamp through a Pyrex filter. They were of cis-configuration with respect to the cyclobutane ring, which was proven by the specific methine proton NMR resonances at delta 3.98-4.08. From ESI-MS analysis 3a-e were found to form 1:1 complexes with Ag+ cation. In a liquid-liquid extraction, 3 showed the highest affinity toward Ag+ cation among several heavy metal nitrates. In this series, 3c possessing four ethereal oxygen atoms was found to show the highest Ag+ affinity, according to the liquid-liquid extraction and determination of stability constant with the cation. The photoreactivity of precursor vinylpyridines is discussed by the predictor gamma(r(c)) proposed by Caldwell.

The molecular structures of both isomers, 4a and 4b were determined by X-ray analysis.     

The synthesis of [9](2,4)pyrrolophanes

Two methods utilized in the synthesis of [9](2,4)pyrrolophanes are reported. The first, an application of the Paal-Knorr cyclization, involved the condensation of ammonia with 3-formylcyclododecanone. The second method employed the condensation of 3-chlorocyclododec-2-en-1-one with diethyl aminomalonate.     

Conformational behavior of dithia[n.3.3](1,3,5)cyclophanes and dithia[n.3.3](1,2,6)cyclophanes

The conformational behavior of a series of crown-fused dithia[n.3.3](1,2,6)cyclophanes (126-CPs) and dithia[n.3.3](1,3,5)cyclophanes (135-CPs) was investigated by variable-temperature ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Single crystal X-ray structure analysis showed that two thia-bridges in 126-CPs adopted a pseudochair-pseudochair (cc) conformation and the cyclophane decks underwent a ring-tilting motion in the case of [10.3.3](1,2,6)cyclophane (1a). In contrast, the thia-bridges in 135-CPs took both cc and pseudoboat-pseudochair (bc) conformations, and the ring-tilting process was also found in [10.3.3](1,3,5)cyclophane (2a). Variable temperature ¹H NMR study revealed that there was no wobbling-motion for two thia-bridges in 126-CPs while thia-bridges in 135-CPs experienced a wobbling-process with a conformational barrier of 9.21 and 8.80 kcal mol⁻¹, respectively, for 2a and [13.3.3](1,3,5)cyclophane (2b). DFT calculations for the two cyclophanes series revealed that 126-CPs preferred a cc conformation which was consistent with the experimental observation; similarly, 135-CPs took a preferential cc conformation, agreeing with 2a having a predominant cc conformer (cc:bc ratio=70:30), but not 2b having a predominant bc conformer (cc:bc ratio=15:85) in the solid state.

Synthesis, Raman spectra and crystal structures of [Cu(XeF2)n](SbF6)2 (n=2, 4)

Pure [Cu(XeF2)2](SbF6)2 was prepared by the reaction of Cu(SbF 6) 2 with a stoichiometric amount of XeF2 in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (aHF) at ambient temperature. The reaction between Cu(SbF6)2 and XeF2 (1:4 molar ratio) in aHF yielded [Cu(XeF2)4](SbF6)2 contaminated with traces of Xe 2F 3SbF6 and CuF2. The 6-fold coordination of Cu(2+) in [Cu(XeF2)2](SbF6)2 includes two fluorine atoms from two XeF2 ligands and four fluorine atoms provided by four [SbF6](-) anions. The neighboring [Cu(XeF 2)2](2+) moieties are connected via two [SbF6] units, with the bridging fluorine atoms in cis positions, into infinite [Cu(eta(1)-XeF2)2](cis-eta(2)-SbF 6)2[Cu(eta(1)-XeF 2)2] chains. Because of the high electron affinity of Cu(2+), coordinated XeF2 shows the highest distortion (Xe-Fb=210.2(5) pm, Xe-Ft=190.6(5) pm) observed so far among all known [M(x+)(XeF2)n](A)x (A=BF4, PF6, etc.) complexes. The four equatorial coordination sites of the Cu(2+) ion in [Cu(XeF 2) 4](SbF6)2 are occupied by four XeF 2 ligands. Two fluorine atoms belonging to two [SbF6] units complete the Cu (2+) coordination environment. The neighboring [Cu(XeF2)4](2+) species are linked via one [SbF6] unit, with bridging fluorine atoms in trans positions, into linear infinite [Cu(eta(1)-XeF2)4](trans-eta(2)-SbF6)[Cu(eta(1)-XeF2)4] chains. To compensate for the remaining positive charge, crystallographically independent [SbF6](-) anions are located between the chains and are fixed in the crystal space by weak Xe...F(Sb) interactions.
