Protonation of 1,4-bis(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolyl)benzene

In the reaction of 1,4-bis(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolyl)benzene with hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide the hydrogen halide adds at the vinyl groups, and -protonation takes place in both pyrrole rings. In reaction with the superacidic system HSO₃F+SbF₅ (in SO₂ClF) position 5 of one heterocycle and position 4 of the other are protonated with retention of the vinyl groups.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1041–1045, August, 1991.

Polybenzoxazole from 1,4-bis(trichloromethyl)benzene

High molecular weight poly(phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) was synthesized from 1,3-diamino-4,6-dihydroxybenzene dihydrochloride (1) and 1,4-bis(trichloromethyl)benzene (3) in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) or a mixture of PPA and methanesulfonic acid. When PPA was used as the solvent, 3 was first converted in situ to terephthalic acid before 1 was added to minimize degradation of 1. Compound 3 did not need to be sealed from atmospheric moisture because the trichloromethyl groups were not moisture sensitive. It was not necessary to use micronized 3. Adjustment of P₂O₅ content was optional for this reaction because no water was liberated from the condensation of 1 and 3. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis of aromatic polyethers by Scholl reaction. V. Synthesis and polymerization of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]benzene, 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)benzoyl]benzene,bis[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenyl]methane, 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl]benzene,and 1,4-bis-[4-(1-naphthoxy)phenylmethyl]benzene

This article describes the synthesis and the cation-radical polymerization (Scholl reaction) of 1,3-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl] benzene ( 6 ) and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) benzoyl]- benzene ( 7 ) initiated by FeCI₃. This polymerization produced poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s (PEEKK) of number average molecular weight (M?_n) up to 5400 g/mol. The synthesis of bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenyl] methane ( 8 ), 1,3-bis[4-(1-napthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 9 ), and 1,4-bis[4-(1-naphthoxy) phenylmethyl] benzene ( 10 ) are also described. Polyethers of M?_n up to 15400 g/mol at a FeCl₃/monomer molar ratio of 2/1 were obtained. An increased polymerizability of the monomers 9 and 10 containing two CH₂ groups versus that of the corresponding monomers containing two carbonyl groups ( 6 and 7 ) was observed. This enhanced polymerizability was explained based on the increased nucleophilicity of monomers 9 and 10 .     

Dissociative ionization of 1,4-bis(2,5-phenyloxazolyl)benzene

Dissociative ionization of 1,4-bis(2,5-phenyloxazolyl)benzene (POPOP) molecule by electron impact in gaseous phase is studied. Potentials of appearance of some fragments of the molecule under study are determined from the experimentally measured dependences of ionization cross-section on the ionizing electron energy.

The threshold of appearance of this ion is determined (E_ap = 9.51 eV) as well as the first ionization potential of the POPOP molecule and fragment ion appearance potentials.

Solid-state kinetics and gas-phase prediction of 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene

The solid-state kinetics and gas-phase predictions of the 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzene (TMSB) are visualized by utilizing thermogravimetric and mass spectral data. The statistical analyses and reduced time plots of zero order (F0) and Avrami-Erofeev (A2) nucleation and growth models provides the best fit to experimental data for isothermal evaporation process for TMSB. The activation energy for non-isothermal evaporation processes of TMSB is calculated using isoconversional methods.

Synthesis and structures of two cobalt(II) coordination networks formed from aromatic polycarboxylates and 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene

Two Co(II) coordination polymers, [Co(Hbtc)(bix)] _n , (1) and [Co(1,4-bdc)(bix)H₂O] _n (2) (bix = 1,4-bis(imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene; H₃btc = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid; 1,4-H₂bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. X-ray structure analysis reveals that in polymer 1, 2D infinite grid-like frameworks are interconnected by hydrogen-bond interactions to result in a 3D supramolecular architecture, in which the three carboxylate groups of the H₃btc molecule adopt three different coordination modes. In polymer 2, 1,4-bdc ligands with cobalt atoms construct 1D zigzag chains which are bridged by bix ligands to form a 3D framework.     

Construction of two metal coordination polymers based on 1,4-terephthalate and 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene

Two new metal-organic frameworks, namely, Cd(BDC)(Btx) · 0.25(H₂O) (I) and Co₃(BDC)₃(Btx)₄(H₂O)₄ (II) (H₂BDC = 1,4-terephthalate acid and Btx = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex I exhibits a scarcely reported an eight-connected (4²⁴.6⁴) net with dinuclear cadmium clusters as secondary building units, whereas complex II displays a three-dimensional co-ordination polymer with a rare (4,6)-connected net described by the (4⁴.6²)₂(4⁸.6⁷) Schläfli symbol. In addition, the luminescence measurements reveal that complex I exhibits strong fluorescent emissions in the solid state at room temperature.     

Phosphorylation of 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene with trivalent phosphorus derivatives

Phosphorylation of 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene with complete phosphorous acid amides and phenyl phosphorodichloridite is studied.

The possibility of synthesis of phosphamacrocyclic systems based on 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)benzene is considered; it was shown that this compound does not tend to form macrocycles.     

Photodecomposition of peroxides containing a 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene chromophore

The photodecomposition dynamics of 1,4-bis(2-[4-tert-butylperoxycarbonylphenyl]ethynyl)benzene (1) have been compared with those of model compounds in the picosecond and nanosecond time domains by various photophysical techniques. Ultrafast visible transient absorption spectrometry revealed the singlet excited state of 1,4-bis(4-phenylethynyl)benzene (BPB) depopulates radiatively with a rate of 1.75 x 10(9) s(-1) and 95% efficiency. Phenyl ester moieties attached to the BPB core accelerate intersystem crossing (k = 2.8 x 10(8) s(-1)) and reduce the fluorescence quantum yield (phi(FL) = 0.82). The peroxide oxygen-oxygen bond of 1 cleaves (k = 3.6 x 10(11) s(-1)) directly from the singlet excited state (60% efficiency) causing a highly reduced fluorescence yield and leading to formation of aroyloxyl radicals. The next reaction step involves decarboxylation of the aroyloxyl radicals. Transient absorption signals in the MID IR region correspond to CO2 with the formation rate (2.5 x 10(6) s(-1)) as measured by nanosecond transient IR experiments. The transient IR spectra of the excited state of BPB, as well as of the aroyloxyl radical, evidenced a red shift in the acetylene triple bond absorption indicative of a decrease in the bond order. This clearly shows that delocalization of excitation energy over the BPB chromophore induces significant structural changes. The proposed mechanism is based on the rates of photophysical and photochemical channels and involves an additional population channel of the BPB triplet excited state from the upper singlet states.     

Syntheses and structures of Ag(I) complexes containing 1,4-bis(4,5-dihydro-2-oxazolyl)benzene

The reactions of the polydentate ligand 1,4-bis(4,5-dihydro-2-oxazolyl)benzene (L) with AgX (X = CH₃COO⁻, ClO₄⁻ and CF₃SO₃⁻) afforded the complexes [Ag₂(L)(CH₃COO)₂]_∞ (1), [Ag₂(L)₃(ClO₄)₂]_∞ (2), and [Ag(L)(CF₃SO₃)]_∞ (3), whereas the reaction of L with Ag₂SO₄ in MeOH/H₂O system afforded {[Ag₂(L)₃(H₂O)₃][SO₄] · 9H₂O}_∞ (4). The EA and IR have been recorded and all the complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, confirming that complexes 1–4 are two-dimensional coordination polymeric frameworks. The bidentate L ligands in complexes 3 and 4 adopt both the syn and anti conformation and those in 1 and 2 adopt the anti conformation only. The anions CH₃CO₂⁻ in complex 1 bridge the Ag(I) atoms in η¹, η², μ₃-coordination mode forming a 1-D zig-zag –[Ag(CH₃COO)]_n– chains, while the anions ClO₄⁻, CF₃SO₃⁻ and SO₄²⁻ in complexes 2–4 are not coordinated to the Ag(I) atoms, but all of them play an important roles in linking cationic 2-D frameworks into 3-D supramolecular structures.
