Reduction of aromatic ketones with the (dpp-BIAN)AlI(Et2O) complex

Reduction of benzophenone and 4,4′-bis(methoxy)benzophenone with the aluminum complex (dpp-BIAN)AlI(Et₂O) (1) containing the dianionic dpp-BIAN ligand (dpp-BIAN is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) affords the pinacolate complexes [(dpp-BIAN)AlI]₂[μ-O₂C₂Ph₄] (2) and [(dpp-BIAN)AlI]₂[μ-O₂C₂(C₆H₄OMe)₄] (3), respectively, which undergo the pinacolone rearrangement upon prolonged storage in diethyl ether to form [(dpp-BIAN)AlI]₂O (4). The reaction of 1 with fluoren-9-one produces stable pinacolate (dpp-BIAN)Al[μ-O₂(C₁₃H₈)₂] (7) and the (dpp-BIAN)AlI₂ complex (8). Compounds 2—4, 7, and 8 were characterized by ESR spectroscopy. Hydrolysis products of compounds 2 and 3 were characterized by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The structures of complexes 4 and 7 were established by X-ray diffraction. dpp-BIAN is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis,Physical Properties,and Anion Recognition of Two Novel Larger Azaacenes: Benzannelated Hexazaheptacene and Benzannelated N,N′‐Dihydrohexazaheptacene

Two novel larger azaacenes with six or ten N atoms in their backbones, benzannelated 9,11,13,22,24,26‐hexazatetrabenzo[a,c,l,n]heptacene ( HATBH , 1 ) and benzannelated 9,26‐dihydro‐9,11,13,22,24,26‐hexaza‐tetrapyrido[3,2‐a: 2′,3′‐c: 3′′,2′′‐l: 2′′′,3′′′‐n]heptacene ( DHATPH, 2 ), have been successfully synthesized in two steps. The theoretical band gaps estimated through DFT calculations for HATBH ( 1 ) and DHATPH ( 2 ) are 1.949 eV and 2.278 eV, which are close to the experimentally obtained optical band gaps (2.14 eV and 2.39 eV). Interestingly, HATBH ( 1 ) can act as efficient anion sensor for F^? and H₂PO₄^?, while DHATPH ( 2 ) selectively responds to F^? among the ten different anions used (F^?, Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, PF₆^?, HSO₄^?, NO₃^?, BF₄^?, AcO^?, and H₂PO₄^?). Our synthetic strategy could offer a promising and easy way to obtain even larger azaacenes.     

Theoretical computation of low‐lying electronic states of HCNS: A CASPT2 study

Complete active space self‐consistent field (CASSCF) and complete active space second‐order perturbation theory (CASPT2) calculations in conjunction with the aug‐cc‐pVTZ basis set have been used to investigate the low‐lying electronic states of thiofulminic acid (HCNS), HCNS⁺, and HCNS^?. The result of geometry optimization using CASPT2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ shows that theoretically determined geometric parameters and harmonic vibrational frequencies for the HCNS ground state X¹Σ⁺(X¹A′) are in agreement with previous studies. The ionization energies, the electron affinity energies, the adiabatic excitation energies, and vertical excitation energies have been calculated and the corresponding cation and anion states are identified. By calculating adiabatic electron affinity, the states of HCNS^? have been identified to contain both π orbital states (X²A′ and 1²A″) and dipole‐bond states (1⁴A′ and 1⁴A″). © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Improved Calcium Ion-Selective Electrode Based on a Neutral Carrier

Abstract

The performance of a liquid-membrane electrode using a synthetic, neutral carrier in o-nitro-phenyl-n-octyl-ether as membrane component in a PVC matrix, in the presence of sodium tetra-phenyl-borate, is described. Selectivities, working range, lifetime and anion interference are discussed. The electrode makes possible the measurement of calcium ion activities in the range 10^?1M to 10^?6M in unbuffered and in the range 10^?1M to 10^?8M in calcium buffered systems respectively. The selectivities of calcium over protons, magnesium, sodium and zinc are 25,000, 26,000, 2,800 and 7,100, respectively, and are far superior than those reported for other calcium sensors.
