Aryl-aryl bond formation by the fluoride-free cross-coupling of aryldisiloxanes with aryl bromides

The prevalence of the biaryl structural motif in biologically interesting and synthetically important molecules has inspired considerable interest in the development of methods for aryl-aryl bond formation. Herein we describe a novel strategy for this process involving the fluoride-free, palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of readily accessible aryldisiloxanes and aryl bromides. Using a statistical-based optimisation process, preparatively useful reaction conditions were formulated to allow the cross-coupling of a wide range of different substrates. This methodology represents an attractive, cost-efficient, flexible and robust alternative to the traditional transition-metal-catalysed routes typically used to generate molecules containing the privileged biaryl scaffold.     

Complete NMR spectral assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides from Picris conyzoides

Complete (1)H and (13)C NMR signal assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, derivatives of 11β,13-dihydrolactucin, isolated from roots of Picris conyzoides, were achieved by one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments, allowing the correction of previously published data for cichorioside B and the structure elucidation of its new ester with 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid. In addition, seven known sesquiterpene lactones and three phenolic compounds were isolated from the plant material.

Novel silver(I)-saccharinate complexes exhibiting Ag···π and C-H···Ag close interactions with a new coordination mode of saccharinate

Two novel silver(I) complexes, namely [Ag₂(μ₃-sac)₂(μ-nmpen)]_n (1) and [Ag(sac)(mpr)]₂ (2) (sac = saccharinate; nmpen = N-methyl-1,3-propanediamine; mpr = 2-methyl-1-pyrroline) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, thermal (TG, DTG and DTA) analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complexes crystallize in the monoclinic system with the space group C2/c and P2₁/c, respectively. In 1, Ag(I) ion exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry by tridentate μ₃-bridging sac and μ₂-bridging nmpen ligands. The sac ligand exhibits a new μ₃-coordination mode by means of μ₂-bridging O atom of sulfonyl group and N atom of imino group. Furthermore, complex 1 exhibits a two-dimensional polynuclear structure. In 2, the silver(I) ion is linearly coordinated by the N atoms of a sac and a mpr ligands, forming mononuclear species. The individual molecules are linked into dimers by Ag···C_sac (η¹) interactions between silver(I) ion and phenyl ring of the adjacent complex and these dimers are assembled into two-dimensional layered networks through weak Ag···Ag (3.507 Å), SO···Ag (2.961 Å) and π···π interactions. The most interesting structural features of complexes is the presence of obvious C-H···M hydrogen-bonding interactions between the Ag centers and H atoms of nmpen or mpr ligands.     

Synthesis and X-ray diffraction analysis/crystal structure of new germatranes containing methyl substituents in three five-membered chelating rings

Three monomeric germatranes, 1-isopropoxy-3,3,7,7,10,10-hexamethyl-2,8,9-trioxa-5-aza-1-germatricyclo[3.3.3.0^1,5]undecane (1), 1-isopropoxy-3,3,7,7-tetramethyl-2,8,9-trioxa-5-aza-1-germatricyclo[3.3.3.0^1,5]undecane (2), and 1-isopropoxy-3,3-dimethyl-2,8,9-trioxa-5-aza-1-germatricyclo[3.3.3.0^1,5]undecane (3) have been synthesized by the reaction of Ge(O-i-Pr)₄ in refluxing toluene with corresponding triethanolamines, (HOCH₂CH₂)_nN(CH₂CMe₂OH)_3−n (n = 0, L1H₃; n = 1, L2H₃; n = 2, L3H₃), where the number of CMe₂ groups adjacent to a OH functionality varied from 3 (L1H₃) to 2 (L2H₃), and to 1 (L3H₃). These germatranes 1-3 have been characterized by solution ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR and the solid state structure of 2 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Property Studies on Cu（Ⅱ） and Co（Ⅱ） Complexes with 1,8-Naphthalimid Schiff Base

The ligand of N-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-1,8-naphthalimide (HL) and its metal complexes of CuL2 (1) and CoL2 (2) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction characterizations for 1 and 2 have been carried out. In the complexes of 1 and 2, the central metallic ions of Cu2+ and Co2+ coordinate with two deprotonated ligands of L-, respectively and adopt distorted square planar geometries. The thermal analysis result shows that the two complexes undergo two similar decomposition processes because of their similar geometric configurations. For the two complexes, fluorescence spectra measurements indicate that complex CoL2 emits stronger blue fluorescence than HL and the complex CuL2 does not emit fluorescence at all.     

A DFT Study on the Stable Structures and Dissociation Mechanism of C3O6 Cluster

Using geometrical optimization and DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level, nineteen equilibrium geometries were identified, and three transition states of dissociation reaction of C3O6 clusters were also found. The vibrational frequencies and intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) verification at the same level were computed to verify the transitions. And then we calculated the dissociation energies and analyzed the dissociation channels. The computational results show that the dissociation energies of C3O6 isomers relative to three CO2 are between 1.509 × 103 and 10.61 × 103 kJ·kg-1, and the energy barriers of the reactions are 92.857, 131.138 and 185.793 kJ·mol-1. Both the high dissociation energies and high energy barriers show that C3O6 clusters studied in this paper are stable enough to be used as high-energy-density materials.
