Synthesis, fluorescence and photoisomerization studies of azobenzene-functionalized poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimers

A series of azobenzene-functionalized poly(alkyl aryl ether) dendrimers have been synthesized and their photochemical and photophysical properties in solution and as thin films have been investigated. Although the photochemical behavior of the azodendrimers in solution indicated that the azobenzene units behave independently, very similar to the constituent monomer azobenzene unit, the properties of thin solid films of the dendrimers were distinctly different. The azodendrimers, AzoG1, AzoG2, and AzoG3 were observed to form stable supercooled glasses, which showed long-wavelength absorption and red emission characteristics of J-aggregates of the azobenzene chromophores. Reversible photoinduced isomerization of the azodendrimers in the glassy state is described.     

Oxidation of allylic alcohols, amines, and sulfides mediated by assembled triphase catalyst of phosphotungstate and non-cross-linked amphiphilic copolymer

A novel catalyst PWAA, an assembled complex of phosphotungstic acid (H₃PW₁₂O₄₀) and a non-cross-linked copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide with an ammonium, was developed. It is an amphiphilic, cross-linked, and supramolecular insoluble complex and showed catalytic activity on oxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. PWAA, used in 2.7×10⁻⁵-2.0×10⁻³ mol equiv., catalyzed oxidation of allylic alcohols, amines, and sulfides efficiently. The turnover number (TON) of PWAA reached up to 35,000. PWAA showed a good stability in organic/aqueous media and was reused three to five times.     

Are the pyrazolines formed from the reaction of [60]fullerene with alkyl diazoacetates unstable?

[60]Fullerene-fused pyrazolines 1 were prepared by the reaction of C₆₀ with alky diazoacetates under the solid-state high-speed vibration milling conditions as well as in toluene solution. Pyrazolines 1 were stable in refluxing toluene and its thermolysis process in 1,2-dichlorobenzene was investigated, the decomposition rates and activation energies of pyrazolines 1 were obtained. The current work demonstrated that the liquid-phase reaction of C₆₀ with alkyl diazoacetates undergoes via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition pathway at room temperature, or proceeds via carbene mechanism at a temperature of refluxing toluene, thus clarifies the previous ambiguity of its reaction mechanism.     

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.     

Intercalation of vanadate in Ni, Zn layered hydroxyacetates

Interlayer acetate anions in layered double hydroxyacetates of Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ have been exchanged by oxovanadates following three synthetic routes (at 60°C, under hydrothermal conditions and after preswelling with caprylate anions) and different pH; direct exchange at room temperature was not successful. Complete exchange was achieved under adequated conditions, and the precise nature of the interlayer anion depends on the pH during exchange: at low pH (4.5), the presence of α-VO₃ chains, with anchoring (grafting) of the species to the hydroxide layers, is proposed. At higher pH (9.5) V₂O₇⁴⁻ species are present in the interlayer. Thermal decomposition of these vanadate-intercalated products leads to formation of orthorhombic Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ vanadates, together with NiO.     

Gallium(III) halide-catalyzed coupling of indoles with phenylacetylene: synthesis of bis(indolyl)phenylethanes

Indoles undergo smooth coupling with phenylacetylene in the presence of 10 mol % of gallium(III) chloride or gallium(III) bromide under mild conditions to afford the corresponding 1,1-bis(1H-3-indolyl)-1-phenylethanes in high yields and with high selectivity.     

Cupric sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O): a mild and efficient catalyst for tetrahydropyranylation/depyranylation of alcohols and phenols

Various alcohols and phenols can be smoothly converted to the corresponding THP ethers using 20 mol % CuSO₄·5H₂O under mild reaction conditions at room temperature. Some of the major advantages of this procedure are nonaqueous work-up, very good yields, less expensive catalyst and compatibility with other protecting groups.     

Synthesis and Second‐Order Nonlinearities of Chiral Prolinol‐Substituted Chromophores

A new series of thiophene‐ and furan‐containing chromophores with a chiral prolinol donor and a sulfone acceptor has been synthesized. The UV‐vis absorptions, second‐order nonlinear optical properties, and X‐ray crystal structures are described.
