基于喹啉与苯胺衍生物不对称方酸菁染料的合成与光谱性质

设计合成了四个基于喹啉与苯胺衍生物的不对称方酸菁染料7a～7d,利用1HNMR,MS和元素分析对结构进行了表征.对中间体碘盐3a～3c的合成条件进行了探索,发现随着喹啉6位取代基吸电子能力的增强,亲核取代反应的活性降低,因此需要较为苛刻的条件.对不对称方酸菁的合成方法进行了系统研究,发现不对称方酸菁前体的接入方式是反应成败的关键,并对该不对称方酸菁的吸收光谱与光稳定性进行了系统研究.研究表明,染料的吸收半峰宽较宽,最大吸收随着溶剂极性的增加发生蓝移,表现为负溶剂化效应.光稳定性实验表明,染料的光稳定较好,且喹啉半体6位取代基吸电子能力的增加有利于染料光稳定性的增加.此外,苯胺半体氮上烷基链的长度对染料的光稳定性也有影响.     

Deoxyribonucleoside‐Modified Squaraines as Near‐IR Viscosity Sensors

Deoxyribonucleoside‐modified squaraines were synthesized by Sonogashira coupling reactions using an unsymmetrical, terminal alkynylated benzothiazolium squaraine dye. These non‐natural nucleosides exhibited fluorescent ‘turn‐on’ properties in viscous conditions with an enhancement of >300‐fold. The viscosity‐dependent fluorescence enhancement was attributed to a combination of hampering both molecular aggregation and intramolecular bond rotation of the squaraine probe. Fluorescence microscopy allowed visualization of highly viscous regions during various stages of cellular mitosis.     

Using indirect covariance spectra to identify artifact responses in unsymmetrical indirect covariance calculated spectra

Several groups of authors have reported studies in the areas of indirect and unsymmetrical indirect covariance NMR processing methods. Efforts have recently focused on the use of unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods to combine various discrete two-dimensional NMR spectra to afford the equivalent of the much less sensitive hyphenated 2D NMR experiments, for example indirect covariance (icv)-heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC)-COSY and icv-HSQC-nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY). Alternatively, unsymmetrical indirect covariance processing methods can be used to combine multiple heteronuclear 2D spectra to afford icv-13C-15N HSQC-HMBC correlation spectra. We now report the use of responses contained in indirect covariance processed HSQC spectra as a means for the identification of artifacts in both indirect covariance and unsymmetrical indirect covariance processed 2D NMR spectra.     

A squaraine-based chemosensor for Hg and Pb

A novel unsymmetrical cationic squaraine dye (USqH⁺), absorbing in the near-infrared region (600-850 nm), was synthesized by reacting a semi-squaric acid derivative 3-[4-(N,N-dioctylamino)phenyl]-4-hydroxycyclobutene-1,2-dione with the squarylium dye, bis(3-methylbenzothiazol-2-ylidene)squaraine. Addition of micromolar amounts of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ to solutions of USqH⁺ in dichloromethane brings about significant changes in its absorption spectrum, resulting in a change in colour of the solution from green to pink. The absorption spectrum of the dye is relatively insensitive to other environmentally relevant metal ions, making it possible to visually detect Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in the presence of other metal ions. Molecular modeling of the complexes at the density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical PM3 levels strongly suggests that the oxygen atoms are the most likely choice for cation binding. The calculations also indicate a high affinity of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ toward the formation of 2:1 complexes, which is in good agreement with the experimental results.     

Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes of unsymmetrical tetradentate reduced Schiff base ligands

Two new reduced Schiff base ligands, [HL¹ = 4-{2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylimino}-pentan-2-one and HL² = 4-[2-(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylamino)-ethylimino]-pentan-2-one] have been prepared by reduction of the corresponding tetradentate unsymmetrical Schiff bases derived from 1:1: 1 condensation of 1,2-ethanediamine, acetylacetone and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde/2-acetyl pyridine. Four complexes, [Ni(L¹)]ClO₄ (1), [Cu(L¹)]ClO₄ (2), [Ni(L²)]ClO₄ (3), and [Cu(L²)]ClO₄ (4) with these two reduced Schiff base ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The mono-negative ligands L¹ and L² are chelated in all four complexes through the four donor atoms to form square planar nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes. Structures of 3 and 4 reveal that enantiomeric pairs are crystallized together with opposite chirality in the nitrogen and carbon atoms. The two Cu^II complexes (2 and 4) exhibit both irreversible reductive (Cu^II/Cu^I; E_pc, −1.00 and −1.04 V) and oxidative (Cu^II/Cu^III; E_pa, +1.22 and +1.17 V, respectively) responses in cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemically generated Cu^I species for both the complexes are unstable and undergo disproportionation.
