Unexpectedly Long Lifetime of the Excited State of Benzothiadiazole Derivative and Its Adducts with Lewis Acids

We report a study of photoluminescent properties of 4-bromo-7-(3-pyridylamino)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (Py-btd) and its novel Lewis adducts: (PyH-btd)₂(ZnCl₄) and [Cu₂Cl₂(Py-btd)₂{PPO}₂]·2C₇H₈ (PPO = tetraphenyldiphosphine monoxide), whose crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Py-btd exhibits a lifetime of 9 microseconds indicating its phosphorescent nature, which is rare for purely organic compounds. This phenomenon arises from the heavy atom effect: the presence of a bromine atom in Py-btd promotes mixing of the singlet and triplet states to allow efficient singlet-to-triplet intersystem crossing. The Lewis adducts also feature a microsecond lifetime while emitting in a higher energy range than free Py-btd, which opens up the possibility to color-tune luminescence of benzothiadiazole derivatives.

Kinetic study of the reaction of nucleophilic cyclopropanation of C60 fullerene with halogenated maleopimarimide

The kinetics of nucleophilic fullerene cyclopropanation by halomethyl ketones with a diterpene fragment has been studied by the Bingel method, and the influence of the biologically active cyclopropanating agent on the process has been estimated. It has been revealed that favorable conditions for carrying out the reaction result in maximum monofunctionalized methanofullerenes formation with the maximum yield.     

Fused-Pentagon Isomers of C60 Fullerene Isolated as Chloro and Trifluoromethyl Derivatives

The carbon cage of buckminsterfullerene I_h-C₆₀, which obeys the Isolated-Pentagon Rule (IPR), can be transformed to non-IPR cages in the course of high-temperature chlorination of C₆₀ or C₆₀Cl₃₀ with SbCl₅. The non-IPR chloro derivatives were isolated chromatographically (HPLC) and characterized crystallographically as ¹⁸⁰⁹C₆₀Cl₁₆, ¹⁸¹⁰C₆₀Cl₂₄, and ¹⁸⁰⁵C₆₀Cl₂₄, which contain, respectively two, four, and four pairs of fused pentagons in the carbon cage. High-temperature trifluoromethylation of the chlorination products with CF₃I afforded a non-IPR CF₃ derivative, ¹⁸⁰⁷C₆₀(CF₃)₁₂, which contains four pairs of fused pentagons in the carbon cage. Addition patterns of non-IPR chloro and CF₃ derivatives were compared and discussed in terms of the formation of stabilizing local substructures on fullerene cages. A detailed scheme of the experimentally confirmed non-IPR C₆₀ isomers obtained by Stone–Wales cage transformations is presented.

Quantum corrections to ϕ 4 model solutions and applications to Heisenberg chain dynamics

The Heisenberg spin chain is considered in ? ⁴ model approximation. Quantum corrections to classical solutions of the one-dimensional ? ⁴ model within the correspondent physics are evaluated with account of rest d-1 dimensions of a d-dimensional theory. A quantization of the model is considered in terms of spacetime functional integral. The generalized zeta-function formalism is used to renormalize and evaluate the functional integral and quantum corrections to energy in a quasiclassical approximation. The results are applied to appropriate conditions of the spin chain model and its dynamics, for which elementary solutions, energy and the quantum corrections are calculated.
