2.2]paracyclophane-bridged mixed-valence compounds: application of a generalized Mulliken-Hush three-level model

A series of [2.2]paracylophane-bridged bis-triarylamine mixed-valence (MV) radical cations were analyzed by a generalized Mulliken-Hush (GMH) three-level model which takes two transitions into account: the intervalence charge transfer (IV-CT) band which is assigned to an optically induced hole transfer (HT) from one triarylamine unit to the second one and a second band associated with a triarylamine radical cation to bridge (in particular, the [2.2]paracyclophane bridge) hole transfer. From the GMH analysis, we conclude that the [2.2]paracyclophane moiety is not the limiting factor which governs the intramolecular charge transfer. AM1-CISD calculations reveal that both through-bond as well as through-space interactions of the [2.2]paracyclophane bridge play an important role for hole transfer processes. These electronic interactions are of course smaller than direct pi-conjugation, but from the order of magnitude of the couplings of the [2.2]paracyclophane MV species, we assume that this bridge is able to mediate significant through-space and through-bond interactions and that the cyclophane bridge acts more like an unsaturated spacer rather than a saturated one. From the exponential dependence of the electronic coupling V between the two triarylamine localized states on the distance r between the two redox centers, we infer that the hole transfer occurs via a superexchange mechanism. Our analysis reveals that even significantly longer pi-conjugated bridges should still mediate significant electronic interactions because the decay constant beta of a series of pi-conjugated MV species is small.     

Thermal Decomposition and Dehydration Kinetics of Tetra(piperidinium) Octamolybdate Tetrahydrate in Air

Thermal decomposition of tetra(piperidinium) octamolybdate tetrahydrate, [C₅H₁₀NH₂]₄[Mo₈O₂₆]·4H₂O, was investigated in air by means of TG‐DTG/DTA, DSC, TG‐IR and SEM. TG‐DTG/DTA curves showed that the decomposition proceeded through three well‐defined steps with DTA peaks closely corresponding to mass loss obtained. Kinetics analysis of its dehydration step was performed under non‐isothermal conditions. The dehydration activation energy was calculated through Friedman and Flynn‐Wall‐Ozawa (FWO) methods, and the best‐fit dehydration kinetic model function was estimated through the multiple linear regression method. The activation energy for the dehydration step of [C₅H₁₀NH₂]₄[Mo₈O₂₆]·4H₂O was 139.7 kJ/mol. The solid particles became smaller accompanied by the thermal decomposition of the title compound.     

Autoionization of an ultracold Rydberg gas through resonant dipole coupling

We investigate a possible mechanism for the autoionization of ultracold Rydberg gases, based on the resonant coupling of Rydberg pair states to the ionization continuum. Unlike an atomic collision where the wave functions begin to overlap, the mechanism considered here involves only the long-range dipole interaction and is in principle possible in a static system. It is related to the process of intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD). In addition, we include the interaction-induced motion of the atoms and the effect of multi-particle systems in this work. We find that the probability for this ionization mechanism can be increased in many-particle systems featuring attractive or repulsive van der Waals interactions. However, the rates for ionization through resonant dipole coupling are very low. It is thus unlikely that this process contributes to the autoionization of Rydberg gases in the form presented here, but it may still act as a trigger for secondary ionization processes. As our picture involves only binary interactions, it remains to be investigated if collective effects of an ensemble of atoms can significantly influence the ionization probability. Nevertheless our calculations may serve as a starting point for the investigation of more complex systems, such as the coupling of many pair states proposed in [P.J. Tanner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 043002 (2008)].

Synthesis and ligand properties of thianthrenophane

Thianthrenophane 1 has a cavity which offers enough room to potentially enable endohedral coordination to small ions or molecules. For the complexation of silver(I) perchlorate the complex stability constants of 1 logK1=5.45 +/- 0.13 and of thianthrene logK2=9.16 +/- 0.10 were determined by UV/Vis titration. Single competition transport experiments with ten metal salts demonstrate a very high selectivity of 1 as a carrier for silver(I) and a distinctly higher transport rate compared to carriers such as thianthrene and 1,4,8,11-tetrathiacyclotetradecane (14-ane-S4). Although the X-ray crystal structure analysis of the polymeric [Ag(1)]ClO4.(dioxane)7 complex shows an exohedral coordination to silver(I) we suggest that the formation of an endohedral [Ag(1)]+ complex is the explanation for the unusual carrier selectivity of silver(I) by 1 in bulk liquid membrane.
