Chemiluminescence initiated by complex formation in solutions of 1,2-dioxetane and lanthanide perchlorates

The spectral and activation parameters of chemiluminescence in the thermal decay of 1,2-dioxetane based on adamantylideneadamantane in acetonitrile in the presence of Tb^III, Eu^III, Pr^III, Ce^III, and Gd^III perchlorates and UO₂(NO₃)₂ have been studied. Two types of catalysis by metals, luminescent and nonluminescent, can be distinguished in the framework of one mechanism of dioxetane decay initiated by metal-peroxide complex formation. The mode of catalysis depends both on the presence of suitable energy levels in the metal ion to which the intracomplex transfer of excitation from the³n,^*-state of the ketone that appears in the decay of dioxetane in a catalytic complex can occur and on the ratio of the quantum yields of luminescence of the ketone and the metal ion that is the catalytic activator of luminescence.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of azulenes with 1,2-diaryl-1,2-ethanediols in methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid: comparative studies on products, crystal structures, and spectroscopic and electrochemical properties

Although reaction of guaiazulene (1a) with 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediol (2a) in methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid at 60 °C for 3 h under aerobic conditions gives no product, reaction of 1a with 1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (2b) under the same reaction conditions as 2a gives a new ethylene derivative, 2-(3-guaiazulenyl)-1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylene (3), in 97% yield. Similarly, reaction of methyl azulene-1-carboxylate (1b) with 2b under the same reaction conditions as 1a gives no product; however, reactions of 1-chloroazulene (1c) and the parent azulene (1d) with 2b under the same reaction conditions as 1a give 2-[3-(1-chloroazulenyl)]-1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylene (4) (81% yield) and 2-azulenyl-1,1-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylene (5) (15% yield), respectively. Along with the above reactions, reactions of 1a with 1,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-ethanediol (2c) and 1-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-2-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (2d) under the same reaction conditions as 2b give 2-(3-guaiazulenyl)-1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene (6) (73% yield) and (Z)-2-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1-(3-guaiazulenyl)-1-phenylethylene (7) (17% yield), respectively. Comparative studies of the above reaction products and their yields, crystal structures, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties are reported and, further, a plausible reaction pathway for the formation of the products 3-7 is described.     

异金属膦酸铀的合成、晶体结构和荧光性质

构建异金属膦酸铀仍然具有挑战性。在本工作中,从苯磺酰甲基膦酸二乙酯(Et₂L)出发,成功合成了一系列同构的异金属膦酸铀化合物[UO₂Mn (L)₂(H₂O)₄],其中M=Mn (1)、Co (2)、Ni (3)、Zn (4)、Cd (5)。晶体结构研究表明,磺酰基团没有与金属离子配位,而膦酸基团完全去质子化,连接2个铀酰离子和1个过渡金属离子,形成了二维层状晶体结构。荧光研究表明,在Mn (Ⅱ)、Co (Ⅱ)和Ni (Ⅱ)离子存在时,铀酰离子的特征荧光发射被淬灭,而在Zn (Ⅱ)和Cd ((Ⅱ)离子存在时,显示出强的特征荧光发射。

Crosslinked liquid crystal polymers from liquid crystal monomers: Synthesis and mechanical properties

Difunctional acrylates and methacrylate monomers have been made which are high order smectic liquid crystal (or crystalline) at room temperature. This report discusses materials with the following structure: F–S–M–S–F, where F is a functional group, acrylate or methacrylate (A or M); S is a spacer (CH₂)_n(n), and M is a mesogen—in this case 4,4′-dioxybiphenyl (B). They are codified as BnA or BnM where n is the number of methylenes in the spacer. High conversion with high T_g can be obtained when polymerizing in the smectic state because the reactive end groups are concentrated in a small volume and can react well with little or no diffusion. B2A, B3A, B6A, B11A, and B3M were polymerized in the smectic state and compared to polymers made at temperatures where the monomers were isotropic. High conversion was obtained below final T_g—even then, probably because the polymers were ordered. All the polymers were studied by WAXD and dynamic mechanical spectroscopy. Solid-state NMR on B3A showed that there was very high conversion of the double bonds at all temperatures. B3A photopolymerized in the smectic state (60–76°C) produced a crystalline polymer with T_g = 185°C (1 Hz). When photopolymerized at 85°C, above the isotropization temperature (T_i), a poorly organized polymer was obtained with a T_g of 155°C (1 Hz). Monomers with an odd number of methylene groups as spacers were crystalline after polymerization. With an even number of methylene groups, they lost most of their crystallinity on polymerization below T_i, but retained a low order smectic structure. Similar structures were obtained with all the monomers when they were polymerized above T_i. There was little effect of polymerization temperature on T_g when the spacers had an even number of methylene groups. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A new synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated esters from three components, aldehydes, chloromethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, and tert-butyl acetate, via magnesium carbenoid 1,2-CH and 1,2-CC insertion as the key reaction

Addition reaction of 1-chlorovinyl p-tolyl sulfoxides, which were derived from various aldehydes, with lithium enolate of tert-butyl acetate at −78 °C in THF gave adducts in high yields. Magnesium carbenoids were generated by treatment of these adducts with Grignard reagents via the sulfoxide-magnesium exchange reaction. When the adducts were derived from alkyl aldehydes or electron-deficient aromatic aldehydes, carbenoid 1,2-CH insertion reaction took place from the magnesium carbenoids to afford β,γ-unsaturated butyric esters having a substituent at the β-position. On the contrary, when the adducts were derived from electron-rich aromatic aldehydes, carbenoid 1,2-CC insertion reaction took place from the magnesium carbenoids to give β,γ-unsaturated butyric esters having the aromatic group at the γ-position. Highly stereospecific 1,2-CC insertion reactions were observed in the latter reactions. This procedure provides a good way for a synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated esters from aldehydes with two carbon-carbon bond-formations.     

“Wheel-and-axle” binuclear Cu(II) dioximates mediated by 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane: Synthesis, X-ray study and luminescent properties

The reaction of copper(II) acetate or fluoride with classic dioximes in the presence of 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane resulted in four novel compounds with the compositions [Cu₂(dmgH)₄bpe] (1), [Cu₂(NioxH)₄bpe] (2), [Cu₂(dpgH)₄bpe] (3), and [Cu₂(dpgH)₄bpe][Cu(dpgH)₂bpe]₂·2DMF (4) (where dmgH₂ = dimethylglyoxime, NioxH₂ = 1,2-cyclohexanedionedioxime, dpgH₂ = diphenylglyoxime, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, and DMF = N,N′-dimethylformamide), whose crystal structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the binuclear molecules 1-3, as well as in both binuclear and mononuclear molecules in 4 each Cu(II) atom has an identical N₅-environment formulated by four oximic nitrogen atoms of two monodeprotonated ligands in a slightly distorted square planar mode, and the nitrogen atom of the bpe molecule being in the apical position. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Luminescence investigations for 1, 2 and 4 were carried out to clarify whether the guest inclusion in the crystal lattice is accompanied by changes in the emission spectra.     

A new stepped tetranuclear copper(II) complex: synthesis,crystal structure and photoluminescence properties

Binuclear and tetranuclear copper(II) complexes are of interest because of their structural, magnetic and photoluminescence properties. Of the several important configurations of tetranuclear copper(II) complexes, there are limited reports on the crystal structures and solid‐state photoluminescence properties of `stepped' tetranuclear copper(II) complexes. A new Cu^II complex, namely bis{μ₃‐3‐[(4‐methoxy‐2‐oxidobenzylidene)amino]propanolato}bis{μ₂‐3‐[(4‐methoxy‐2‐oxidobenzylidene)amino]propanolato}tetracopper(II), [Cu₄(C₁₁H₁₃NO₃)₄], has been synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FT–IR, solid‐state UV–Vis spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The crystal structure determination shows that the complex is a stepped tetranuclear structure consisting of two dinuclear [Cu₂(L )₂] units {L is 3‐[(4‐methoxy‐2‐oxidobenzylidene)amino]propanolate}. The two terminal Cu^II atoms are four‐coordinated in square‐planar environments, while the two central Cu^II atoms are five‐coordinated in square‐pyramidal environments. The solid‐state photoluminescence properties of both the complex and 3‐[(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxybenzylidene)amino]propanol (H₂L ) have been investigated at room temperature in the visible region. When the complex and H₂L are excited under UV light at 349 nm, the complex displays a strong blue emission at 469 nm and H₂L displays a green emission at 515 nm.

Synthesis,structure, and antioxidative properties of a copper(II) complex with 1,2-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)ethane ligand

1,2-Bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)ethane (bbe) and its copper(II) complex, {[Cu(bbe)Br₂]₂}·2DMF ( 1 ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet–visible, and infrared spectra. The single crystal structure analysis of 1 shows two crystallographically independent but chemically identical [Cu(bbe)Br₂] molecules. The coordination geometry of the copper atoms may best be described as a distorted tetrahedron (τ₄ = 0.740 for Cu1 and 0.696 for Cu2). The cyclic voltammogram of complex 1 represents quasi-reversible Cu²⁺/Cu⁺ pairs. in vitro antioxidant tests showed that complex 1 has significant antioxidant activity against superoxide and hydroxy radicals. Photoluminescence investigations showed that the fluorescence intensity of complex 1 is significantly weaker than that of the ligand. This may be due to the paramagnetic effect of divalent copper to cause quenching of fluorescence.     

K3Eu5(PO4)6: hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structure and photoluminescence properties

An anhydrous orthophosphate, K₃Eu₅(PO₄)₆ (tripotassium pentaeuropium hexaphosphate), has been prepared by a high‐temperature solid‐state reaction combined with hydrothermal synthesis, and its crystal structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis (SC‐XRD). The results show that the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and the structure features a three‐dimensional framework of [Eu₅(PO₄)₆]_∞, with the tunnel filled by K⁺ ions. The IR spectrum, UV–Vis spectrum and luminescence properties of polycrystalline samples of K₃Eu₅(PO₄)₆, annealed at temperatures of 650, 700, 750, 800 and 850 °C, were investigated. Although with a full Eu³⁺ concentration (9.96 × 10²¹ ions cm^?3), the self‐activated phosphor K₃Eu₅(PO₄)₆ shows s strong luminescence emission intensity with a quantum yield of 37%. Under near‐UV light excitation (393 nm), the series of samples shows the characteristic emissions of Eu³⁺ ions in the visible region from 575 to 715 nm. The sample sintered at 800 °C gives the strongest emission and its lifetime sintered at 800 °C (1.88 ms) is also the longest of all.

Prediction of stable BC3N2 monolayer from first-principles calculations: Stoichiometry,crystal structure,electronic and adsorption properties

In this paper, a novel BC₃N₂ monolayer has been found with a graphene-like structure using the developed particle swarm optimization algorithm in combination with ab initio calculations. The predicted structure meets the thermodynamical, dynamical, and mechanical stability requirements. Interestingly, the BC₃N₂ plane shows a metallic character. Importantly, BC₃N₂ has an in-plane stiffness comparable to that of graphene. We have also investigated the adsorption characteristics of CO₂ on pristine monolayer and Mo functionalized monolayer using density functional theory. Subsequently, electronic structures of the interacting systems (CO₂ molecule and substrates) have been preliminarily explored. The results show that Mo/BC₃N₂ has a stronger adsorption capacity towards CO₂ comparing with the pristine one, which can provide a reference for the further study of the CO₂ reduction mechanism on the transition metal-functionalized surface as well as the new catalyst’s design.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and magnetic properties of methoxido-bridged dinuclear MnIII complexes derived from tri-dentate chelating ligands

Two new doubly methoxido-bridged Mn^III dinuclear complexes, [Mn^III(mphp)(μ-OCH₃)(CH₃OH)]₂·2CH₃OH (1) and ([Mn^III(ahbz)(μ-OCH₃)(CH₃OH)]₂·2CH₃OH (2), have been synthesized by using the tridentate ligands H₂mphp (H₂mphp = 2-methyl-6-(pyrimidin-2-yl-hydrazonomethyl)-phenol) and H₂ahbz (H₂ahbz = N-(2-amino-propyl)-2-hydroxy-benzamide). The complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and magnetic measurements. Complexes 1 and 2 have a similar dimeric molecular structure. Two [Mn(L)(CH₃OH)]⁺ moieties (L^2? = mphp^2? or ahbz^2?) are bridged by two μ-OCH₃^? groups in the axial-equatorial asymmetric manner. The coordination geometry of Mn^III is an axially elongated octahedron with two oxygens of a methanol ligand and a methoxido ligand situated at the axial positions. Magnetic measurements indicate that 1 and 2 exhibit antiferromagnetic behavior with the fitting parameter of J = ?1.49(3) cm^?1, D = ?1.3(1) cm^?1, g = 1.98(1) and zJ′ = ?0.18(4) cm^?1 for 1, and J = ?1.6(2) cm^?1, D = 4.5(3) cm^?1, g = 2.06(1) and zJ′ = 1.4(1) cm^?1 for 2 on the basis of the spin Hamiltonian ? = ?2J?_Mn1?_Mn2.

Geometric properties were calculated by the B3 LYP method of density functional theory(DFT) at the 6-31G+(d) basis set to compare with the experimental data. Simulated properties were found in strong agreement with the experimental ones. Intermolecular forces have also been modeled in order to investigate the strength of packing and strong hydrogen bonding was observed in both compounds 1 and 2. Electronic properties such as Ionization Potential(IP), Electron Affinities(EA) and coefficients of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO) of com- pounds 1 and 2 were simulated for the first time.
