Synthetic Molecular Motors: Thermal N Inversion and Directional Photoinduced CN Bond Rotation of Camphorquinone Imines 下载免费PDF全文
Dr. Lutz Greb Dr. Andreas Eichhöfer Prof. Dr. Jean‐Marie Lehn 《Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)》2015,54(48):14345-14348
The thermal and photochemical E/Z isomerization of camphorquinone‐derived imines was studied by a combination of kinetic, structural, and computational methods. The thermal isomerization proceeds by linear N inversion, whereas the photoinduced process occurs through C?N bond rotation with preferred directionality as a result of diastereoisomerism. Thereby, these imines are arguably the simplest example of synthetic molecular motors. The generality of the orthogonal trajectories of the thermal and photochemical pathways allows for the postulation that every suitable chiral imine qualifies, in principle, as a molecular motor driven by light or heat. 相似文献

σ Aromaticity Dominates in the Unsaturated Three‐Membered Ring of Cyclopropametallapentalenes from Groups 7–9: A DFT Study 下载免费PDF全文
Yulei Hao Jingjing Wu Prof. Dr. Jun Zhu 《Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)》2015,21(51):18805-18810
Aromaticity, an old but still fantastic topic, has long attracted considerable interest of chemists. Generally, π aromaticity is described by π‐electron delocalization in closed circuits of unsaturated compounds whereas σ‐electron delocalization in saturated rings leads to σ aromaticity. Interestingly, our recent study shows that σ aromaticity can be dominating in an unsaturated three‐membered ring (3MR) of cyclopropaosmapentalene. An interesting question is raised: Can the σ aromaticity, which is dominant in the unsaturated 3MR, be extended to other cyclopropametallapentalenes? If so, how could the metal centers, ligands, and substituents affect the σ aromaticity? Here, we report a thorough theoretical study on these issues. The nucleus‐independent chemical shift calculations and the anisotropy of the current‐induced density plots reveal the dominant σ aromaticity in these unsaturated 3MRs. In addition, our calculations show that substituents on the 3MRs have significant effects on the σ aromaticity, whereas the ligand effect is particularly small. 相似文献

The π contribution to the electron localization function (ELF) is used to compare 4nπ‐ and (4n+2)π‐electron annulenes, with particular focus on the aromaticity of 4nπ‐electron annulenes in their lowest triplet state. The analysis is performed on the electron density obtained at the level of OLYP density functional theory, as well as at the CCSD and CASSCF ab initio levels. Two criteria for aromaticity of all‐carbon annulenes are set up: the span in the bifurcation values ΔBV(ELFπ) should be small, ideally zero, and the bifurcation value for ring closure of the π basin RCBV(ELFπ) should be high (≥ 0.7). On the basis of these criteria, nearly all 4nπ‐electron annulenes are aromatic in their lowest triplet states, similar to (4n+2)π‐electron annulenes in their singlet ground states. For singlet biradical cyclobutadiene and cyclooctatetraene constrained to D4h and D8h symmetry, respectively, the RCBV(ELFπ) at the CASSCF level is lower (0.531 and 0.745) than for benzene (0.853), even though they have equal proportions of α‐ and β‐electrons. 相似文献

Five‐Membered Cyclic Metal Carbyne: Synthesis of Osmapentalynes by the Reactions of Osmapentalene with Allene,Alkyne, and Alkene 下载免费PDF全文
Dr. Congqing Zhu Yuhui Yang Jingjing Wu Ming Luo Jinglan Fan Dr. Jun Zhu Prof. Dr. Haiping Xia 《Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)》2015,54(24):7189-7192
The synthesis of small cyclic metal carbynes is challenging due to the large angle strain associated with the highly distorted nonlinear triple bonds. Herein, we report a general route for the synthesis of five‐membered cyclic metal carbyne complexes, osmapentalynes, by the reactions of an osmapentalene derivative with allene, alkyne, and alkene. Experimental observations and theoretical calculations document the aromaticity in the fused five‐membered rings of osmapentalynes. The realization of transforming osmapentalene to osmapentalyne through this general route would not only allow further exploration of metallapentalyne chemistry but also show promising applications of this novel aromatic system with broad absorption band and high molar absorption coefficient. 相似文献

Cyclometalated IrIII complexes with acetylide ppy and bpy ligands were prepared (ppy=2‐phenylpyridine, bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine) in which naphthal ( Ir‐2 ) and naphthalimide (NI) were attached onto the ppy ( Ir‐3 ) and bpy ligands ( Ir‐4 ) through acetylide bonds. [Ir(ppy)3] ( Ir‐1 ) was also prepared as a model complex. Room‐temperature phosphorescence was observed for the complexes; both neutral and cationic complexes Ir‐3 and Ir‐4 showed strong absorption in the visible range (ε=39600 M ?1 cm?1 at 402 nm and ε=25100 M ?1 cm?1 at 404 nm, respectively), long‐lived triplet excited states (τT=9.30 μs and 16.45 μs) and room‐temperature red emission (λem=640 nm, Φp=1.4 % and λem=627 nm, Φp=0.3 %; cf. Ir‐1 : ε=16600 M ?1 cm?1 at 382 nm, τem=1.16 μs, Φp=72.6 %). Ir‐3 was strongly phosphorescent in non‐polar solvent (i.e., toluene), but the emission was completely quenched in polar solvents (MeCN). Ir‐4 gave an opposite response to the solvent polarity, that is, stronger phosphorescence in polar solvents than in non‐polar solvents. Emission of Ir‐1 and Ir‐2 was not solvent‐polarity‐dependent. The T1 excited states of Ir‐2 , Ir‐3 , and Ir‐4 were identified as mainly intraligand triplet excited states (3IL) by their small thermally induced Stokes shifts (ΔEs), nanosecond time‐resolved transient difference absorption spectroscopy, and spin‐density analysis. The complexes were used as triplet photosensitizers for triplet‐triplet annihilation (TTA) upconversion and quantum yields of 7.1 % and 14.4 % were observed for Ir‐2 and Ir‐3 , respectively, whereas the upconversion was negligible for Ir‐1 and Ir‐4 . These results will be useful for designing visible‐light‐harvesting transition‐metal complexes and for their applications as triplet photosensitizers for photocatalysis, photovoltaics, TTA upconversion, etc. 相似文献

Aromaticity Reversal in the Lowest Excited Triplet State of Archetypical Möbius Heteroannulenic Systems 下载免费PDF全文

The aromaticity reversal in the lowest triplet state (T1) of a comparable set of Hückel/Möbius aromatic metalated expanded porphyrins was explored by optical spectroscopy and quantum calculations. In the absorption spectra, the T1 states of the Möbius aromatic species showed broad, weak, and ill‐defined spectral features with small extinction coefficients, which is in line with typical antiaromatic expanded porphyrins. In combination with quantum calculations, these results indicate that the Möbius aromatic nature of the S0 state is reversed to Möbius antiaromaticity in the T1 state. This is the first experimental observation of aromaticity reversal in the T1 state of Möbius aromatic molecules. 相似文献

The reactivity of metal oxide clusters toward hydrocarbon molecules can be changed, tuned, or controlled by doping. Cerium‐doped vanadium cluster cations CeV2O7+ are generated by laser ablation, mass‐selected by a quadrupole mass filter, and then reacted with C2H4 in a linear ion trap reactor. The reaction is characterized by a reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer. Three types of reaction channels are observed: 1) single oxygen‐atom transfer , 2) double oxygen‐atom transfer , and 3) C?C bond cleavage. This study provides the first bimetallic oxide cluster ion, CeV2O7+, which gives rise to C?C bond cleavage of ethene. Neither CexOy± nor VxOy± alone possess the necessary topological and electronic properties to bring about such a reaction. 相似文献

Intramolecular CH Activation and Metallacycle Aromaticity in the Photochemistry of [FeFe]‐Hydrogenase Model Compounds in Low‐Temperature Frozen Matrices 下载免费PDF全文

The [FeFe]‐hydrogenase model complexes [(μ‐pdt){Fe(CO)3}2], [(μ‐edt){Fe(CO)3}2], and [(μ‐mdt){Fe(CO)3}2], where pdt=1,3‐propanedithiolate, edt=1,2‐ethanedithiolate, and mdt=methanedithiolate, undergo wavelength dependent photodecarbonylation in hydrocarbon matrices at 85 K resulting in multiple decarbonylation isomers. As previously reported in time‐resolved solution photolysis experiments, the major photoproduct is attributed to a basal carbonyl‐loss species. Apical carbonyl‐loss isomers are also generated and may undergo secondary photolysis, resulting in β‐hydride activation of the alkyldithiolate bridge, as well as formation of bridging carbonyl isomers. For [(μ‐bdt){Fe(CO)3}2], (bdt=1,2‐benzenedithiolate), apical photodecarbonylation results in generation of a 10 π‐electron aromatic FeS2C6H4 metallacycle that coordinates the remaining iron through an η5 mode. 相似文献

β‐CuN3: The Overlooked Ground‐State Polymorph of Copper Azide with Heterographene‐Like Layers 下载免费PDF全文

An unexpected polymorph of the highly energetic phase CuN3 has been synthesized and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Cmcm with a=3.3635(7), b=10.669(2), c=5.5547(11) Å and V=199.34(7) Å3. The layered structure resembles graphite with an interlayer distance of 2.777(1) Å (=1/2 c). Within a single layer, considering N3? as one structural unit, there are 10‐membered almost hexagonal rings with a heterographene‐like motif. Copper and nitrogen atoms are covalently bonded with Cu? N bonds lengths of 1.91 and 2.00 Å, and the N3? group is linear but with N? N 1.14 and 1.20 Å. Electronic‐structure calculations and experimental thermochemistry show that the new polymorph termed β‐CuN3 is more stable than the established α‐CuN3 phase. Also, β‐CuN3 is dynamically, and thus thermochemically, metastable according to the calculated phonon density of states. In addition, β‐CuN3 exhibits negative thermal expansion within the graphene‐like layer. 相似文献

The UV spectra of Group 6 metal carbene complexes bearing a CpM(CO)3 (Cp=cyclopentadienyl) moiety bonded to the carbene carbon atom exhibit a redshift of the absorption maxima at higher wavelengths with respect to the parent monometallic complexes. This redshift is partly due to a higher occupation on the pz atomic orbital of the carbene carbon atom. Time‐dependent DFT calculations accurately assign this band to a metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer transition, thus showing that the presence of a second metal center does not affect the nature of the transition. However, the photochemical reactivity of Group 6 metal carbene complexes bearing a CpM(CO)3 moiety strongly depends on the nature of this metal fragment. A new photoslippage reaction leading to fulvenes occurs when Mn‐derived products 11 a , 11 b , and 12 a are irradiated (both Cr and W derivatives), whereas Re‐derived product 11 c behaves like standard Fischer complexes and yields the usual photocarbonylation products. A new photoreduction process occurring in the metallacyclopropanone intermediate is also observed for these complexes. Both computational and deuteration experiments support this unprecedented photoslippage process. The key to this differential photoreactivity seems to be the M–Cp back‐donation, which hampers the slippage process for Re derivatives and favors the carbonylation reaction. 相似文献

Orientational Preference of Long,Multicenter Bonds in Radical Anion Dimers: A Case Study of π‐[TCNB]22− and π‐[TCNP]22− 下载免费PDF全文

The similar shape and electronic structure of the radical anions of 1,2,4,5‐tetracyanopyrazine (TCNP) and 1,2,4,5‐tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) suggest a similar relative orientation for their long, multicenter carbon?carbon bond in π‐[TCNP]22? and in π‐[TCNB]22?, in good accord with the Maximin Principle predictions. Instead, the two known structures of π‐[TCNP]22? have a D2h(θ=0°) and a C2(θ=30°) orientation (θ being the dihedral angle that determines the rotation of one radical anion relative to the other along the axis that passes through center of the two six‐membered rings). The only known π‐[TCNB]22? structure has a C2(θ=60°) orientation. The origin of these preferences was investigated for both dimers by computing (at the RASPT2/RASSCF(30,28) level) the variation with θ of the interaction energy (Eint) and the variation of the Eint components. It was found that: 1) a long, multicenter bond exists for all orientations; 2) the Eint(θ) angular dependence is similar in both dimers; 3) for all orientations the electrostatic component dominates the value of Eint(θ), although the dispersion and bonding components also play a relevant role; and 4) the Maximin Principle curve reproduces well the shape of the Eint(θ) curve for isolated dimers, although none of them reproduce the experimental preferences. Only after the (radical anion).? ??? cation+ interactions are also included in the model aggregate are the experimental data reproduced computationally. 相似文献

The quantum confinement and electronic properties of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) under an external strain field ε and an electric field E —as well as both (ε plus E )—are systematically investigated using density functional theory. These two fields exist in working environments of integrated circuits. It is found that both ε and E lead to a drop of the band gap Eg(ε, E ) of the SiNWs. If both fields coexist, the interaction between ε and E causes that Eg(ε, E ) becomes orientation‐dependent, which results from variations of both the conduction‐band minimum and the valence‐band maximum. The interaction is further illustrated by the density of states near the Fermi level and the eigenvalue of the highest occupied molecular orbital. 相似文献

Nature of Bonding in Bowl‐Like B36 Cluster Revisited: Concentric (6π+18π) Double Aromaticity and Reason for the Preference of a Hexagonal Hole in a Central Location 下载免费PDF全文
The bowl‐shaped C6v B36 cluster with a central hexagon hole is considered an ideal molecular model for low‐dimensional boron‐based nanosystems. Owing to the electron deficiency of boron, chemical bonding in the B36 cluster is intriguing, complicated, and has remained elusive despite a couple of papers in the literature. Herein, a bonding analysis is given through canonical molecular orbitals (CMOs) and adaptive natural density partitioning (AdNDP), further aided by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and orbital composition calculations. The concerted computational data establish the idea of concentric double π aromaticity for the B36 cluster, with inner 6π and outer 18π electron counting, which both conform to the (4n+2) Hückel rule. The updated bonding picture differs from existing knowledge of the system. A refined bonding model is also proposed for coronene, of which the B36 cluster is an inorganic analogue. It is further shown that concentric double π aromaticity in the B36 cluster is retained and spatially fixed, irrespective of the migration of the hexagonal hole; the latter process changes the system energetically. The hexagonal hole is a destabilizing factor for σ/π CMOs. The central hexagon hole affects substantially fewer CMOs, thus making the bowl‐shaped C6v B36 cluster the global minimum. 相似文献

New low‐energy pathways for the reaction between substituted boriranes and borirenes with unsaturated hydrocarbons (ethyne or ethene) were discovered using density functional and coupled cluster theory. The interaction between the π bond of the hydrocarbon and the empty p orbital of the boron center leads to ring expansion of the three‐membered to a five‐membered boron heterocycle. The reactions are strongly exothermic and have low or even no barriers. They involve intermediates with a pentacoordinate boron center with two hydrocarbon molecules coordinating to boron akin to metal‐olefin complexes. These borylene complexes are shallow minima on the potential energy surfaces. But significantly higher barriers for ring formation are computed for 1,5‐cyclooctadiene and dibenzocyclooctatetraene complexes of borylenes, making these complexes likely detectable under appropriate experimental conditions. Our computational findings have implications for the interpretation of trapping experiments of thermally generated small borylenes with excess of small π systems. Because of very low barriers for reactions of three‐membered boron heterocycles with π systems and the at least locally large excess of the latter under such conditions, formation of five‐membered boron heterocycles should be considered. 相似文献

The TTTA ? Cu(hfac)2 polymer ( 1 ; in which TTTA=1,3,5‐trithia‐2,4,6‐triazapentalenyl, and hfac=(1,1,1,5,5,5)‐hexafluoroacetylacetonate) is one of the most prominent examples of the rational use of the ‘metal–radical’ synthetic approach to achieve ferromagnetic interactions. Experimentally, the magnetic topology of 1 could not be fully deciphered. Herein, the first‐principles bottom‐up procedure was applied to elucidate the nature and strength of the magnetic JAB exchange interactions present in 1 . The computed JAB values give rise to a 2D magnetic topology of ferromagnetic dimers (+11.9 cm?1) coupled through weaker antiferromagnetic interactions (?3.0 and ?3.2 cm?1) in two different spatial directions. The hitherto unknown origin of the antiferromagnetic interdimer interactions is thus unveiled. By using the 2D magnetic topology, the agreement between calculated and experimental χT(T) data is extraordinary. In the metal–radical TTTA ? Cu(hfac)2 compound, the computational model transcends the local dimer cluster model owing to strong interactions between metal centers and organic radicals, thereby creating a de facto biradical. In addition, it is shown that the magnetic topology cannot be inferred from the polymeric [TTTA ??? Cu(hfac)2]n crystal motif, that is, from its chemical coordination pattern. Instead, one should think in terms of magnetic building blocks, namely, the de facto biradicals. 相似文献

Phototriggered intramolecular isomerization in a series of ruthenium sulfoxide complexes, [Ru(L)(tpy)(DMSO)]n+ (where tpy=2,2’:6’,2’’‐terpyridine; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide; L=2,2’‐bipyridine (bpy), n=2; N,N,N’,N’‐tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) n=2; picolinate (pic), n=1; acetylacetonate (acac), n=1; oxalate (ox), n=0; malonate (mal), n=0), was investigated theoretically. It is observed that the metal‐centered ligand field (3MC) state plays an important role in the excited state S→O isomerization of the coordinated DMSO ligand. If the population of 3MCS state is thermally accessible and no 3MCO can be populated from this state, photoisomerization will be turned off because the 3MCS excited state is expected to lead to fast radiationless decay back to the original 1GSS ground state or photodecomposition along the Ru2+?S stretching coordinate. On the contrary, if the population of 3MCS (or 3MCO) state is inaccessible, photoinduced S→O isomerization can proceed adiabatically on the potential energy surface of the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer excited states (3MLCTS→3MLCTO). It is hoped that these results can provide valuable information for the excited state isomerization in photochromic d6 transition‐metal complexes, which is both experimentally and intellectually challenging as a field of study. 相似文献
