Dipyrrin‐Bis(N‐Confused Porphyrin) Conjugate: Synthesis,Synergetic Ligation and Chirality Sensing

A fully conjugated system 4 consisting of two 2‐aza‐21‐carbaporphyrin (NCP) subunits bridged by dipyrrin was synthesized by a highly selective condensation of 3‐pyrrole‐NCP 2 with aryl aldehydes. The free base 4 as well as its silver(III) complex 5 exhibited flexibility of the bridge allowing synergetic binding of Ag^I, thus leading to a mixed‐valence tetraporphyrinic assembly consisting of eight silver atoms which was characterized both in the solid state and in solution. Binding of chiral acid by 4 and 5 was shown by observation of an induced optical activity of the adducts.     

Intermediates of N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) Dimerization Probed in the Gas Phase by Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: C−H⋅⋅⋅:C Hydrogen Bonding Versus Covalent Dimer Formation

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs, :C ) can interact with azolium salts ( C−H⁺ ) by either forming a hydrogen-bonded aggregate ( CHC⁺ ) or a covalent C−C bond ( CCH⁺ ). In this study, the intramolecular NHC–azolium salt interactions of aromatic imidazolin-2-ylidenes and saturated imidazolidin-2-ylidenes have been investigated in the gas phase by traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry (TW IMS) and DFT calculations. The TW IMS experiments provided evidence for the formation of these important intermediates in the gas phase, and they identified the predominant aggregation mode (hydrogen bond vs. covalent C−C) as a function of the nature of the interacting carbene–azolium pairs.     

Synthesis and Electronic Properties of Novel 5,7-Diazapentacene Derivatives

A route to the synthesis of novel 5,7-diazapentacenes and some preliminary studies on their properties is reported. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the dihexyl derivative showed it had formed a dimer during the analysis. The materials possess lower lying frontier orbitals than pentacene and may have potential applications in organic electronic devices. This synthetic method may be applicable to the synthesis of other azaacenes.     

Factors affecting the dimerization of persistent nitrogen‐centered 1‐phenyl urazole radicals to tetrazanes

1‐Phenyl urazole radicals are persistent air‐stable nitrogen‐centered radicals that engage in an equilibrium with the corresponding N―N tetrazane dimers in solution. While the equilibrium typically weakly favors the dimer form, for some 1‐phenyl urazole radicals bearing substituents at the ortho position of the benzene ring, the equilibrium instead strongly favors the dimer form. With the recent surge of interest in the properties and potential applications of heterocyclic radicals, the factors that affect this equilibrium are important to determine. We examined the effect of the extent of ortho substitution (none, 1, or 2 substituents) on the equilibrium by experimentally using variable temperature ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance and UV‐visible spectroscopy in addition to supporting computational investigations at the (U)B3LYP/6‐311G(d,p) level of theory. We confirmed that the equilibrium generally favored the dimer in all cases. However, the equilibrium was more favorable towards dimer formation for urazole radicals substituted with 1 and 2 ortho substituents on the aromatic ring. The activation enthalpies for dissociation of singly substituted dimers were greater than that for dimers without ortho substituents, but lower than that for doubly substituted dimers. The greater preference for dimer formation for the ortho‐substituted urazole radicals is attributed to a greater enthalpic advantage for N―N bond formation. This advantage may be traced to a higher concentration of spin density on the urazole unit of the radicals and a lesser deformation energy required for N―N bond formation.     

Investigating thermal dimerization of N-methyl-flindersine. Syntheses and characterizations of paraensidimerines

Thermal dimerization of N-methyl-flindersine is reported here. This work commenced with the intent to access new Diels-Alder-type dimeric bis-pyranylquinoline alkaloids melicodenines but uncovered and characterized naturally occurring paraensidimerine F, F′and C′, as well as two new bis-quinolone derivatives.     

A low-temperature electron diffraction study of structural disorder and its relationship to the Kondo effect in ThAsSe

A low-temperature electron diffraction study has been carried out on ThAsSe to search for evidence of structural disorder associated with the low-temperature non-magnetic Kondo effect. A highly structured and extremely complex characteristic diffuse intensity distribution has been observed at low temperature and interpreted in terms of a gradual charge density wave type phase transition upon lowering of temperature involving disordered As-As dimerization within (001) planes. Plausible models of the proposed As-As dimerization have been obtained using a group theoretical approach.     

Glycine Dimers: Structure,Stability, and Medium Effects

We report a study on different ionization states and conformations of the bimolecular (Gly)₂ system by means of quantum mechanical calculations. Optimized geometries for energy minima of the glycine dimer, as well as relative energies and free energies were computed as a function of the medium: gas phase, nonpolar polarizable solvent, and aqueous solution. The polarizable continuum model was employed to account for solvation effects. Energy calculations were done using the MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ and B3LYP/6‐311+G(2df,2p) methods on B3LYP/6‐31+G(d,p) optimized structures (some single‐point energy calculations were also done using the B3PW91 and PBE1KCIS methods). Ionized forms of the glycine dimer (either zwitterion–zwitterion or neutral–zwitterion) are predicted to exist in all media, in contrast to amino acid monomers. In aqueous solution, dimerization is an exergonic process (?4 kcal mol^?1). Thus, according to our results, zwitterion–zwitterion Gly dimers might be abundant in supersaturated glycine aqueous solutions, a fact that has been connected with the structure of α‐glycine crystals but that remains controversial in the literature. Another noticeable result is that zwitterion–zwitterion interactions are substantially underestimated when computed using methods based on density functional theory. For comparison, some calculations for the dimer of the simplest chiral amino acid alanine were done as well and differences to the glycine dimer are discussed.     

Dimeric Capsules Formed by Tetra‐CMPO Derivatives of (Thia)Calix[4]arenes

Thiacalix[4]arene 2 , calix[4]arene 3 a and its tetraether fixed in the cone conformation 3 b form homo‐ and heterodimeric capsules in apolar solvents, which are held together by a seam of NH???O=P hydrogen bonds between carbamoylmethyl phospine oxide functions attached to their wide rim. Their internal volume of ～370 ų requires the inclusion of a suitable guest. Although neutral molecules such as adamantane (derivatives) or tetraethylammonium cations form kinetically stable complexes (¹H‐ and ³¹P‐time scale), the included solvent is rapidly exchanged. The internal mobility of the included tetraethylammonium cation is distinctly higher (ΔG=42.5 and 49.7 kJ mol^?1 for 3 a and 3 b ) than that for similar capsules of tetraurea calix[4]arenes 1 . Mixtures of 1 with 2 , 3 a , or 3 b contain only the two homodimers but the heterodimerization occurs with the tetraloop tetraurea 6 , which cannot form homodimers. Two dimers with cationic guests ( 2? (C₅H₅)₂Co⁺ ?2 and 3 a? Et₃NH⁺ ? H₂O ?3 a ) were confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis.
