Molecular Ionics in Supramolecular Assemblies with Channel Structures Containing Lithium Ions

A novel trilithium compound, Li₃[B(C₆H₄O₂){O(CH₂CH₂O)₃CH₃}₂][N(SO₂CF₃)₂]₂ ( 1 ‐2.0), with solid‐state ionic conductivity was synthesized. The crystal structure of 1 ‐2.0 consists of the one‐dimensional ionic conduction paths. The paths were afforded as a result of the self‐assembled stacking of the component molecules of 1 ‐2.0 with channel structures containing lithium ions. In this supramolecule, one lithium ion holds the component molecules in specific positions to construct a supramolecular structure with thermally stable ionic conduction paths and the others behave as carrier ions exhibiting selective lithium‐ion conductivity. Owing to the existence of both roles for the lithium ions, this electrolyte shows selective lithium‐ion conductivity.     

Carbon‐Decorated Single‐Crystalline Ni2P Nanotubes Derived from Ni Nanowire Templates: A High‐Performance Material for Li‐Ion Batteries

Single‐crystalline Ni₂P nanotubes (NTs) were facilely synthesized by using a Ni nanowire template. The mechanism for the formation of the tubular structures was related to the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. These NTs exhibited a core/shell structure with an amorphous carbon layer that was grown in situ by employing oleylamine as a capping agent. Galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements indicated that these Ni₂P/C NTs exhibited superior high‐rate capability and good cycling stability. There was still about 310 mAh g^?1 retained after 100 cycles at a rate of 5 C. Importantly, the tubular nanostructures and the single‐crystalline nature of the Ni₂P NTs were also preserved after prolonged cycling at a relatively high rate. These improvements were attributed to the stable nanotubular structure of Ni₂P and the carbon shell, which enhanced the conductivity of Ni₂P, suppressed the aggregation of active particles, and increased the electrode stability during cycling.     

Lithium Choreography: Intramolecular Arylations of Carbamate‐Stabilised Carbanions and Their Mechanisms Probed by In Situ IR Spectroscopy and DFT Calculations

Deprotonation of O‐allyl, O‐propargyl or O‐benzyl carbamates in the presence of a lithium counterion leads to carbamate‐stabilised organolithium compounds that may be quenched with electrophiles. We now report that when the allylic, propargylic or benzylic carbamate bears an N‐aryl substituent, an aryl migration takes place, leading to stereochemical inversion and C‐arylation of the carbamate α to oxygen. The aryl migration is an intramolecular S_NAr reaction, despite the lack of anion‐stabilising aryl substituents. Our in situ IR studies reveal a number of intermediates along the rearrangement pathway, including a “pre‐lithiation complex,” the deprotonated carbamate, the rearranged anion, and the final arylated carbamate. No evidence was obtained for a dearomatised intermediate during the aryl migration. DFT calculations predict that during the reaction the solvated Li cation moves from the carbanion centre, thus freeing its lone pair for nucleophilic attack on the remote phenyl ring. This charge separation leads to several alternative conformations. The one having Li⁺ bound to the carbamate oxygen gives rise to the lowest‐energy transition structure, and also leads to inversion of the configuration. In agreement with the IR studies, the DFT calculations fail to locate a dearomatised intermediate.
