The chemistry of fluorine containing phosphaalkenes, arsaalkenes and selenocarbonyls

This review covers our extensive research activities in the area of fluorine containing phospha- and arsaalkenes as well as selenocarbonyls, which differ considerably in their properties and reactivities from their alkyl and aryl counterparts and thus contribute in a gratifying manner to the still growing field of unsaturated element-carbon compounds of 3rd and 4th row main group elements E. Of particular interest is the influence of the fluorine substituents and other small groups (OR, NR₂) with either inductive and/or mesomeric effects on the polarity and reactivity of the EC bond. Addition reactions of proton acidic and hydridic polar HX reactants as well as [2+2], [3+2] and [4+2] cycloadditions have been thoroughly studied. The results obtained allow a classification of the EC systems within five different types, A to E, and prove a change from “normal” to “inverse” heteroalkenes in this sequence. The ligand properties of some derivatives have also been investigated in some detail.

pH值对聚四氨基酞菁钴膜电化学和紫外光谱性质的影响

用循环伏安法在导电玻璃(ITO)和玻碳电极(GC)上制备了聚氨基酞菁钴(CoTAPc)修饰电极(CoTAPc/GC)。探讨了pH值对CoTAPc膜的光谱和电化学性质的影响，发现其氧化还原电位与pH值有线性关系，电催化活性也随酸度的增加而增加。CoTAPc膜的紫外吸收带变化与溶液pH值及在溶液中浸泡时间有关。     

A dinuclear uranium(IV) complex of the chelating ligand 1,2,3,4‐tetra­methyl‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)­cyclo­penta­diene

The ligand 1,2,3,4‐tetra­methyl‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)­cyclo­penta­diene (cp*py) forms a dinuclear complex with U^IV, i.e. di‐μ‐oxo‐bis­{chloro­(diethyl ether‐κO)[(η⁵,κN)‐1,2,3,4‐tetra­methyl‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)­cyclo­penta­dienyl]uranium(IV)}, [U₂Cl₂O₂(C₁₄H₁₆N)₂(C₄H₁₀O)₂], in which cp*py acts as a chelating ligand, being bound to the metal atom by the cyclo­penta­dienyl unit and also by the N atom of the pyridyl ring.     

Syntheses of sulfoxide derivatives in the benzodiazine series. Diazines. Part 37

Syntheses of new sulfinylcinnolines, quinoxalines, quinazolines and phtalazines have been investigated starting from the appropriate halogenobenzodiazine derivatives. The latter were converted in one step to the corresponding sulfanyl benzodiazines which upon oxidation with m-CPBA led to the corresponding sulfoxide derivatives of benzodiazines in moderate to good yields. In parallel to this study, an improved method for the synthesis of 2-methylsulfinylquinoxaline starting from 2-sulfanylquinoxaline is also described and in the quinazoline series a synthetic route has been developed to prepare 2-tert-butyl-5-phenylsulfinylquinazoline with satisfactory yield as well as 2-tert-butyl-5-tert-butylsulfinyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone and 2-tert-butyl-8-tert-butylsulfinyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone.     

PHOTOVOLTATC EFFICIENCIES OF MICROCRYSTALLINE AND ANHYDROUS CHLOROPHYLL a

Abstract— A thin layer of chlorophyll a (around 2000 Å). a p -type organic semiconductor. was sandwiched between two different metals. aluminum and silver. We used the photovoltaic effect in order to study the efficiency of light conversion by the crystalline and anhydrous forms of Chl a . When the photovoltaic cell is illuminated through the semi-transparent aluminum electrode. an action spectrum similar to the visible absorption spectrum of Chl a is obtained. The anhydrous form. always shows a maximum, in the red, at 672 nm and the crystalline one at 746 nm to 738 nm depending on the amount of water vapor present in the measuring area. The light conversion efficiency has been measured at the maximum absorption in the red for both forms of Chl a . For the anhydrous form, we found values as high as 0.036%, which is very significant even compared to 0.21%, the highest value found for the crystalline form. In both cases. the incident light power was approximately 10 μW on the cell. The light conversion efficiency of both forms of Chl a cells was found to depend on a combine effect of the nature of the gas (O₁. N₂. air. Ar. N₂O. SF ₆ , H₂) and the amount of water vapor present in the measuring area. The best conversion efficiency was obtained with O ₂ , or air saturated with water. This combined effect was very large for the crystalline form whereas the anhydrous form was only slightly affected.     

Preparation and Characterization of N-4-Nitrophenyl-L-prolinol Nanocrystals in Sol-Gel Matrices

Organic nanocrystals of N-4-nitrophenyl-l-prolinol (NPP) have been grown in sol-gel matrices prepared from silicon alkoxide precursors. Our process is based on the control of the nucleation and growth kinetics of the dye in the pores of dense gels. Nanocomposites gel-glasses are obtained with a high optical quality due to the small size of the nanocrystals (10-20 nm). Differential scanning calorimetry experiments evidenced clearly the melting point of NPP nanocrystals, which is registered 51°C above that of NPP powder. Micro-Raman and solid state NMR spectroscopies allowed us to demonstrate that our nanocrystallization process does not chemically modify NPP molecules. We specified also the nature of interactions existing between the NPP nanocrystals and the xerogels. These strong interactions, which explain the important increase of the melting point of the nanocrystals in comparison to the NPP powder, are hydrogen bonds between nitro groups of NPP and uncondensed silanol functions of the silicate network.     

Synthesis and properties of 1-(6-methoxy)-2-benzothiazolyl)-2-pyridones

Substituted ]-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-pyridones were prepared from 2-amino-6-methoxybenzathiazate through N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazotyl) cyanvorearmileaznd-3-aryl-N-(6-methoxy-2-benzothiazolyt)-2-cyano-2-propenamides. The cyclization of the latter with malonodinitrile in the presence of piperidine gave the corresponding pyridones. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by¹H NMR and mass spectral data.Department of Organic Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Slovak Technical University, 812 37 Bratislava, Slovakia.
