溶剂对香豆素343染料光谱性质和最低激发态偶极矩的影响

通过对香豆素343(C343)在不同溶剂中的稳态吸收光谱、稳态荧光光谱和时间分辨荧光光谱的分析,研究了溶剂对C343的光谱性质的影响,并获得了光谱特性与溶剂极性之间的依赖关系. 吸收光谱峰值的红移随着溶剂极性的增加而发生较小的变化. 然而,荧光光谱的峰值对溶剂的极性却很敏感,并随着溶剂极性参数f(ε,n)的增加呈线性增长. 这是由于C343激发态电荷分布的变化导致了它在极性溶剂中第一激发单重态能级的变化. 用溶剂效应测量法和量子化学计算方法确定了C343最低激发态的偶极矩,这两方法所得的结果一致. C343在不同溶剂中的时间分辨荧光光谱研究表明荧光寿命随着溶剂极性的增加而增加,即从甲苯溶液的3.09 ns线性地增加到水溶液中4.45 ns;荧光寿命延长的根源可归因于C343与氢键给体溶剂之间的分子间氢键相互作用.

Intermolecular Stetter reaction of aromatic aldehydes with (E)-(2-nitrovinyl)cyclohexane induced by N-heterocyclic carbene and thiourea

Intermolecular Stetter reaction of aromatic aldehydes with (E)-(2-nitrovinyl)cyclohexane catalyzed by thiazolium A has been developed. The reaction rate and efficiency are profoundly impacted by the presence of thiourea B. The reaction affords moderate to good yields of the Stetter product. Some factors influencing yield were discussed.     

[bmIm]OH: an efficient basic catalyst for the synthesis of 4H-benzo[d][1,3-]oxazin-4-one derivatives in solvent-free conditions

Reusable [bmIm]OH was found to be a highly efficient renewable homogenous catalyst for the rapid and convenient synthesis of benzoxazine-4-one derivatives from o-iodobenzoic-acid and benzonitrile at 75 °C in moderate to good yields. This methodology provides a facile and straightforward path to construct other related heterocycles in an eco-compatible fashion.

Total Synthesis of the 7,10‐Epimer of the Proposed Structure of Amphidinolide N,Part II: Synthesis of C17–C29 Subunit and Completion of the Synthesis

The total synthesis of 7,10‐epimer of the proposed structure of amphidinolide N was accomplished. The requisite chiral C17–C29 subunit was assembled stereoselectively via Keck allylation, Shi epoxidation, diastereoselective 1,3‐reduction, and a later oxidative synthesis of the THF framework. The C1–C13 and C17–C29 subunits were successfully coupled using a Enders RAMP “linchpin” as the C14–C16 three carbon unit, thereby controlling the chirality at C14 and C16. The labile allyl epoxy moiety was successfully constructed by Grieco–Nishizawa olefination at a final stage of the synthesis.     

Recognition of Guanine by a Designed Triazine-based Fluorescent Probe through Intermolecular Multiple Hydrogen Bonding

A new fluorescent probe with a long-wavelength emission and multiple hydrogen bond sites for guanine, 3-(4-chloro-6-p-nitrophenoxy-1,3,5-triazinylamino)-7-dimethylamino-2-methylphenazine (CNTDP), was designed and synthesized by using cyanuric chloride as a molecular scaffold, neutral red as a fluorophore and p-nitrophenol as an assistant unit. The recognition behavior of CNTDP for guanine and its spectroscopic properties in different solvents were investigated. It was found that the probe's fluorescence can be selectively quenched by guanine instead of thymine, indicating that fully complementary hydrogen bonding plays a key role in such a recognition process. In addition, the fluorescence quenching mechanism of the probe by guanine and the electronic effects of neutral red, triazine ring and p-nitrophenol moieties on the fluorescence of the whole molecule were also discussed.     

Intermolecular spin–spin coupling constants between P atoms

This paper reports the study by NMR spectroscopy and ab initio methods of the structure of 3,4-dimethyl-1-cyanophosphole and its dimer. The dimer presents a P···P interaction of the pnictogen type due to the presence of σ-holes. NMR of the monomer was recorded in CDCl₃ solution while NMR of the dimer corresponds to the solid state (CPMAS) experiments. The ^2pJ_PP spin–spin coupling constant has not been measured, but calculated at the B3LYP level. AIM, NBO and ELF methodologies have been used to describe the electronic structure of the dimer.     

Theoretical Insights into Intermolecular Hydrogen-Bonding Strengthening in Fluorenone-Methanol Complexes Induced by Electronic Excitation and Bulk Solvent Effect

This work presents a theoretical insight into the variation of the site-specific intermolecular hydrogen-bonding （HB）, formed between C=O group of fluorenone （FN） and O-H groups of methanol （MeOL） molecules, induced by both the electronic excitation and the bulk solvent effect. Through the calculation of molecular ground- and excited-state properties, we not only demonstrate the characters of HB strengthening induced by electronic excitation and the bulk solvent effect but also reveal the underlying physical mechanism which leads to the HB variation. The strengthening of the intermolecular HB in electronically excited states and in liquid solution is characterized by the reduced HB bond-lengths and the red-shift IR spectra accompanied by the increasing intensities of IR absorption corresponding to the characteristic vibrational modes of the O-H and C--O stretching. The HB strengthening in the excited electronic states and in solution mainly arises from the charge redistribution of the FN molecule induced by the electronic excitation and bulk solvent instead of the intermolecular charge transfer. The charge redistribution of the solute molecule increases the partial dipole moment of FN molecule and the FN-MeOL intermolecular interaction, which subsequently leads to the HB strengthening. With the bulk solvent effect getting involved, the theoretical IR spectra of HBed FN-MeOL complexes agree much better with the experiments than those of gas-phase FN-MeOL dimer. All the calculations are carried out based on our developed analytical approaches for the first and second energy derivatives of excited electronic state within the time-dependent density functional theory.
