Anisotropic self-organization of hybrid silica based xerogels containing bridged positively charged 1,4-diazoniabicycle[2.2.2]octane chloride group

Anisotropic self-organized hybrid silica based xerogels were obtained. The ordered structure was imposed by the double charged 1,4-diazoniabicycle[2.2.2]octane chloride group bonded in a bridged way. This was confirmed by the presence of well defined X-ray diffraction peaks corresponding to an interplanar distance with the same length estimated for the organic bridged groups. The material was characterized by elemental analysis using CHN technique and the chloride ion was analyzed by a potentiometric titration. (13)C and (29)Si CP MAS solid state NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were also performed. The material that can be obtained in the form of powders and transparent monoliths or films, is thermally stable up to 260 degrees C and the samples with high organic content presented birefringence properties.     

Synthesis of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

Double intramolecular cyclization of N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-N-bis(2-cyanoethyl)ethylenediamine leads to 1,4-bis(2-cyanoethyl)-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dichloride, which undergoes decyanoethylation to 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane when it is heated. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by their IR and PMR spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 548–550, April, 1978.     

Polyesters containing bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane rings

Polyesters containing bicyclo[2.2.2]octane and bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane rings are prepared from 1,4-bis(carboethoxy)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]-octane and the 1,5-disubstituted bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane analogs. These polyesters are compared to the related polymers containing 1,4-phenylene and trans-1,4-cyclohexylene rings in terms of their melting point, thermal stabilities and oxidative stabilities. The lower symmetry of the bicyclo[3.2.2]nonane ring produces lower-melting polymers than the other ring systems. The remaining three rings are approximately equivalent in their effect on the melting point of a polymer provided that no more than one bicyclo[2.2.2]octane ring is present per polymer repeat unit. Two such rings produce a highermelting polymer than any other combination. Both the thermal and oxidative stabilities of the polyesters is improved by the presence of the bicyclo rings. This is attributed to the rings providing an approximation of a ladder polymer.

Conformation perturbation of p-sulfonatocalix[5]arene via complexation of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane

A novel conformation of p-sulfonatocalix[5]arene has been established in the solid state with two calixarenes organised in a 'bis-molecular capsule' shrouding two di-protonated DABCO molecules and two water molecules within.     

DABCO-directed self-assembly of bisporphyrins (DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)

Three isomeric zinc bisporphyrins have been prepared by covalently linking together two aminoporphyrins with an isophthalic acid derivative. The porphyrins differ in the substitution pattern on the meso phenyl groups, that is, ortho, meta, or para. Titrations carried out by UV-visible and 1H NMR spectroscopy have been used to map out the stabilities and the stoichiometries of the complexes formed with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in chloroform. The ortho- and meta-substituted bisporphyrins form 1:1 intramolecular sandwich complexes. The para-substituted bisporphyrin cannot adopt the cofacial conformation required for this type of complex and forms a higher order 2:2 intermolecular assembly, which is stable over a wide range of DABCO concentrations.     

Supramolecular catalytic systems based on alkylated diquaternary 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives

The micellization and catalytic properties of the diquaternary 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives, viz., 1-alkyl-4-ethyl-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dibromides (DAD) in water were studied by conductometry, viscosimetry, and spectrophotometry. The critical micelle concentrations and the semiaxial ratio of the micellar aggregates were determined. The character and strength of the effect of the DAD micelles on the alkaline hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl alkylchloromethylphosphonates depend on the surfactant and substrate structures, DAD concentration in solution, and temperature. An increase in the hydrophobicity of DAD and phosphonate increases the efficiency of catalysis.     

Design and synthesis of artificial ribonucleases based on 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and imidazole

The review surveys the results of our studies devoted to the design of highly efficient catalysts of hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bonds in RNA. These catalysts contain the imidazole residue in the catalytic domain, one or several bis-quaternized rings of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as a polycationic RNA-binding domain, and a lipophilic radical. A versatile approach to artificial ribonucleases of this type was proposed, which allows one to vary not only the number of positive charges in the RNA-binding domain, the structure of the catalytic site, and their mutual arrangement but also the domain structure of the molecule as a whole. Analysis of the catalytic properties of the synthesized constructs makes it possible to optimize the domain structure and the geometry of the molecule ensuring its maximum ribonuclease activity.     

Chemical nuclear polarization effects in photoreactions of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane with carbonyl-containing compounds

Elementary acts of the photoreaction of diamine with 2,6-diphenyl-p-benzoquinone are determined from the effects of chemical nuclear polarization effects. Hydrogen atom transfer is shown to occur in two stages with the participation of a radical ion pair.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(benzazoles) containing the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane moiety

Poly(benzobisoxazoles) (PBOs), poly(benzobisthiazoles) (PBTs) and copolymers thereof containing the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane moiety have been prepared and studied. The homopolymers were synthesized by the polycondensation of 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid with 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol dihydrochloride or 2,5-diamino-1,4-benzenedithiol dihydrochloride in poly(phosphoric acid). Random and block copolymers (PBO–PBT) were also prepared. The polymers were characterized by solubility, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy (infrared and solid-state ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance), and thermal analysis such as differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Thermogravimetric analysis showed thermal stability of the polymers above 375°C in air and under argon atmosphere. The polymers exhibited high resistance to organic and inorganic solvents. The polymers were converted to the more stable aromatic polymers via dehydration and retro Diels–Alder reactions of the 2,5-dihydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]octyl moiety by pyrolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Comparative studies of three- and four-ring mesogenic esters containing p-carborane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, cyclohexane, and benzene

Twelve esters were prepared from pentyl-substituted p-carborane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, cyclohexane, and benzene carboxylic acids and three substituted phenols. The mesogenic properties of the series of esters were examined using thermal analysis and optical microscopy. The relationships between structure and mesogenic properties were analysed by comparison of the series of homostructural esters. Thus, the effects of variation of the carboxylic acid structure, introduction of fluorine into the phenol part, and replacement of the central phenyl ring with the -CH₂CH₂- group on the stability of mesophases and their widths were investigated. In general, carborane derivatives exhibit broad nematic phases and narrow SmA phases, while other derivatives demonstrate rich smectic and soft crystal polymorphism.
