A new conducting polymer based on the complex of Cu(II) with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>′-Bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine

Conducting polymeric form of the complex of Cu(II) with N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-propylenediamine was obtained by the electrochemical method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electronic absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize the starting substances and their polymeric forms. The invariance of the charge state of copper in the oxidation-reduction of the polymer based on the complex of Cu(II) with a Schiff base was substantiated.     

Polar cycloaddition of 2-pyridinetellurium trichloride to multiple bonds

A reaction of 2-pyridinetellurium trichloride with unsaturated hydrocarbons leads to [1,3]tellurazolo[3,2-a]pyridinium-4 derivatives — the products of polar cycloaddition of tellurium-containing electrophile at the multiple bond.     

Structure and energy of formation of β- and γ-cyclodextrin complexes with amino acid enantiomers

The interaction between cyclodextrins (CyD), β-CyD, and γ-CyD, and the L- and D-optical isomers of several amino acids (Ala, Leu, His, Phe) are calculated using DFT. It is found that the L-forms of the investigated amino acids bond more strongly to CyD, due to the different numbers of hydrogen bonds that form. The structures of the resulting complexes are analyzed.     

DABCOnium: An Efficient and High‐Voltage Stable Singlet Oxygen Quencher for Metal–O2 Cells

Singlet oxygen (¹O₂) causes a major fraction of the parasitic chemistry during the cycling of non‐aqueous alkali metal‐O₂ batteries and also contributes to interfacial reactivity of transition‐metal oxide intercalation compounds. We introduce DABCOnium, the mono alkylated form of 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), as an efficient ¹O₂ quencher with an unusually high oxidative stability of ca. 4.2 V vs. Li/Li⁺. Previous quenchers are strongly Lewis basic amines with too low oxidative stability. DABCOnium is an ionic liquid, non‐volatile, highly soluble in the electrolyte, stable against superoxide and peroxide, and compatible with lithium metal. The electrochemical stability covers the required range for metal–O₂ batteries and greatly reduces ¹O₂ related parasitic chemistry as demonstrated for the Li–O₂ cell.     

Synthesis of oligoorganosilsesquioxanes via acidohydrolytic polycondensation

Methyl acrylate oligosilsesquioxanes based on γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and its mixtures with phenyltrimethoxysilane have been synthesized through acidohydrolytic polycondensation and studied via NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. It is shown that the addition of the aforementioned oligosilsesquioxanes to a dental composition based on 2,2-bis[p-(3-metacryloyloxy-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]propane and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate improves the mechanical characteristics of cured polymer composites.     

Reaction of asymmetric organomercury compounds with thallium trichloride

Summary Thallium trichloride exchanges two of its halogen atoms only for a radical that possesses a trans-configuratlon in cis-trans compounds, or for a radical that experiences electrophilic attack by the hydrogen ion in the decomposition of RHgR' by hydrochloric acid.     

Reactions of 4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane] N-Oxide with Some Nucleophilic Reagents

4,5-Dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane] N-oxide reacted with cyanide ion and isopropyl magnesium bromide to give the corresponding 1-cyano- and 1-isopropyl-4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexane], but reaction with phenyl magnesium bromide, benzyl magnesium chloride, and nitromethane gave cyclic hydroxylamines: 1-substituted N-hydroxy-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-5-methyl-3H-spiro[benz-2-azepine-3-cyclohexanes] which were oxidized to the corresponding nitrones.     

The Influence of Dimerization of Water-Soluble Metalloporphyrins as Photosensitizers on the Efficiency of Generation of Singlet Oxygen

Quantum yields () for the generation of singlet oxygen sensitized by Pd(II) complexes of water-soluble porphyrins: meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine [PdTMPyP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.9), meso-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylaminophenyl)porphine [PdTTMAPP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.8), meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine [PdTCPP]^4– ( = 0.7), and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine [PdTSPP]^4– ( = 0.5) were determined using a chemical method. It was found that the dimerization and aggregation of metalloporphyrins greatly influence the value. The quantum yields evaluated for the formation of singlet oxygen sensitized by metalloporphyrin monomeric and dimeric forms are _{, M} 0.9 and _{, D} 0.2, respectively, and do not depend on the porphyrin nature.
