The interaction between two paramagnetic metal centers, a [3Fe-4S](+) cluster and a [NiFe] center, is investigated in the hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F by pulsed ELDOR (electron-electron double resonance). The distance between the metal centers is known from X-ray crystallography. The experimental dipolar spin-spin interaction deviates from the value expected for two point-dipoles located at the centers of the metal clusters. An extended spin-coupling model accounting for the spin coupling in the [3Fe-4S](+) cluster yields the observed interaction under the assumption of a particular magnetic coupling scheme for the three Fe ions. These results demonstrate that pulsed ELDOR can be used to gain insight into the inner structure of a multinuclear metal cluster. 相似文献

Recent studies have pointed out the importance of the
basal friction on the dynamics of granular flows. We present
experimental results on the influence of the roughness of the
inclined plane on the dynamics of a monodisperse dry granular
flow. We found experimentally that there exists a maximum of the
friction for a given relative roughness. This maximum is shown
to be independent of the slope angle. This behavior is observed
for four planes with different bump sizes (given by the size of
the beads glued on the plane) from 200 m to 2 mm. The relative
roughness corresponding to the maximum of the friction can be
predicted with a geometrical model of stability of one single
bead on the plane. The main parameters are the size of the bumps
and the size of the flowing beads. In order to obtain a higher
precision, the model also takes into account the spacing between
the bumps of the rough plane. Experimental results and model are
in good agreement for all the planes we studied. Other
parameters, like the sphericity of the beads, or irregularities
in the thickness of the layer of glued particles, are shown to
be of influence on the friction. 相似文献

Synthetic approaches are described for the synthesis of 4-alkoxyindole-7-carboxamides and 4-alkoxy-3-cyanoindole-7-carboxamides, which are useful intermediates in medicinal chemistry research. Two strategies were employed, highlighted by a Bartoli indole synthesis or a sequential and regioselective use of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to install both the 3-cyano and 7-carboxamido groups. These routes are scalable and afford diversely functionalized indoles for further elaboration. 相似文献

Simple enough to be understood and complex enough to be revealing, cascade cyclizations of diepoxides are introduced as new tools to characterize supramolecular catalysis. Decoded product fingerprints are provided for a consistent set of substrate stereoisomers, and shown to report on chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity, mechanism and even autocatalysis. Application of the new tool to representative supramolecular systems reveals, for instance, that pnictogen-bonding catalysis is not only best in breaking the Baldwin rules but also converts substrate diastereomers into completely different products. Within supramolecular capsules, new cyclic hemiacetals from House–Meinwald rearrangements are identified, and autocatalysis on anion–π catalysts is found to be independent of substrate stereochemistry. Decoded product fingerprints further support that the involved epoxide-opening polyether cascade cyclizations are directional, racemization-free, and interconnected, at least partially. The discovery of unique characteristics for all catalysts tested would not have been possible without decoded cascade cyclization fingerprints, thus validating the existence and significance of privileged platforms to elucidate supramolecular catalysis. Once decoded, cascade cyclization fingerprints are easily and broadly applicable, ready for use in the community.Hyperresponsive XL product space identifies polyether cascade fingerprinting as an attractive tool to elucidate supramolecular catalysis, including pnictogen-bonding, capsule and anion–π catalysts.One general expectation from supramolecular catalysis1–10 is that new ways to interact will provide new ways to transform on the molecular level. This translates to access to new reactivity and products, at best contributing to new solutions for otherwise persistent challenges in science and society. While these high expectations are attracting attention to the development of supramolecular catalysts, their systematic characterization is much less advanced. Most classical and modern benchmark reactions1,9 are limited to one mechanism and cover little product space, also concerning chemo- and stereochemistry. To maximize the comparability of supramolecular catalysts, the ideal reaction would respond to as many parameters as possible at still manageable complexity. Epoxide opening polyether cascade cyclizations10–13 promise to meet these requirements for a privileged platform to evaluate supramolecular catalysts. Charismatic in chemistry and biology, they have attracted the attention of many giants in the field.11 They afford the largest polycyclic natural products, regularly featuring more than 10 rings made in one cascade. While product diversity of longer cascades is too complex and single cyclizations are too simple, minimalist cascades from diepoxide substrates such as 1 cover large structural space at tractable complexity (Fig. 1). In substrate 1, supramolecular catalysts can activate nucleophile, electrophile and leaving group, and stabilize cationic and anionic transition states and reactive intermediates (Fig. 1a). Cyclizations can follow either the 5-exo-tet selectivity predicted by the Baldwin rules (B) or anti-Baldwin (A) 6-endo-tet selectivity, leading to the four constitutional isomers 2–5 (Fig. 1a and and2).2). They can occur with normal or reverse directionally,12 forming ring 1 or ring 2 first, respectively (Fig. 1b). They can operate with pseudo SN2, SN1, or mixed mechanisms, and can integrate contributions from autocatalysis.10,13 The stereochemistry covers cis–trans isomers at epoxide 1 and syn–anti isomers with regard to the two epoxides (Fig. 1c). This translates to the stereochemistry of products such as 2–5 at the ring junction and the exocyclic substituents of ring 2. Besides this expected diversity, the product space of the privileged substrate 1 further expands into structures that remain to be discovered, as demonstrated with two new products reported in this study.Open in a separate windowFig. 1(a) Epoxide-opening ether cascade cyclizations from diepoxide 1 as privileged platform to elaborate on supramolecular catalysis, with indication of possible contributions from electron-donating (red) and electron-accepting catalyst motifs (blue), exo-tet Baldwin (B) or endo-tet anti-Baldwin (A) chemoselectivity, (b) normal and reverse directionality, and (c) stereochemistry in selected substrates and products.Open in a separate windowFig. 2(a) Decoded product fingerprints for selected catalysts: Color-coded pie charts for products 2 (red), 3 (yellow), 4 (green), 5 (blue), 6 and 7 (teal) obtained from stereoisomers of cis and trans substrate isomers 1 with representative supramolecular catalysts 8–10 compared to general Brønsted acid (AcOH); results for cis,anti and trans,syn isomers of 1 are calculated (from data for the other diastereomer and the mixture of diastereomers in the respective series); estimated errors ± 5%.

(d) Structure of catalysts, with indication of selected π-basic surfaces and hydrogen-bond donors on capsule 8 assembled from monomers 11, the cyclopean σ hole of pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9, and the π-acidic surface on anion–π catalyst 10.So far, substrate 1 has been used as a mixture of stereoisomers to characterize supramolecular catalysts.13 While results were intriguing, they could not be rationalized. Overlap of different trends obscured the key information and made product fingerprints dependent on the composition of the substrate mixtures. However, the observed hyperresponsiveness of the large product space suggested that decoded product fingerprints could provide a general tool to elucidate supramolecular catalysis.To assess the possibly privileged nature of diepoxide 1 as unifying substrate for supramolecular catalysis, we decided to synthesize and evaluate the necessary stereoisomers separately. The stereoisomers cis-1 and trans-1 were prepared by oxidation of the respective silyl protected cis- and trans-olefins with m-CPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid), followed by deprotection (Fig. 2, Schemes S1 and S2†). They were obtained as roughly equimolar mixtures of syn- and anti-diastereomers (cis-1: dr 54 : 46, trans-1: dr 50 : 50). Shi epoxidation14 in place of m-CPBA afforded enantioenriched cis,syn-1 (dr 89 : 11; dr 20 : 1 after purification) and trans,anti-1 (dr 82 : 18; dr 20 : 1 after purification) accordingly with unknown absolute configuration. These four substrates were sufficient to realize the complete analysis of the system because the product fingerprints for the remaining diastereomers cis,anti-1 and trans,syn-1 could be obtained from the difference of cis,syn-1 and trans,anti-1 and the respective mixture of diastereomers cis-1 and trans-1 (Fig. 2).To decode product fingerprints from different catalysts in their respective color-coded pie charts, all individual products were isolated and the diagnostic regions of their 1H NMR spectra and chiral GC traces were assembled for direct comparison (Fig. 3). In most GC traces, the two peaks were well resolved for each pair of enantiomers, confirming access to nearly all stereochemical information. The resulting unified fingerprint of the complete system then allowed to rapidly assign products obtained from different catalysts down to the level of enantiomers. The validity of most structures was confirmed by X-ray crystallography (Fig. 2c and S78–S83†). If necessary, derivatives were prepared to facilitate the growth of single crystals.Open in a separate windowFig. 3Decoded product fingerprints: Diagnostic regions of 1H NMR spectra (a and b) and chiral GC (c and d) of purified cascade cyclization products from cis (a and c) and trans (b and d) substrate isomers 1 above representative examples of mixtures produced by AcOH and 9 combined (a and c), and by 8 (b and d).With the analytics in place, product fingerprints were recorded for representative supramolecular catalysts 8–10 in comparison to general Brønsted acid catalysis (Fig. 2). In the cis series, the product mixtures obtained from different catalysts contained all four constitutional isomers expected from Baldwin and anti-Baldwin cyclizations, that is cis-(BB)-2, cis-(BA)-3, cis-(AB)-4 and cis-(AA)-5 (Fig. 2a and and3a).3a). In contrast, trans-(AB)-4 was absent in the trans series, and two new products 6 and 7 were found instead (vide infra, Fig. 2a and and3b3b).In both the cis and the trans series, general Brønsted acid catalysis with AcOH was confirmed to follow the Baldwin rules almost exclusively, affording mostly (BB)-2 (Fig. 2). In the cis series, the supramolecular capsules 8 violated the Baldwin rules significantly (Fig. 2a). Capsules 8 self-assemble from resorcinarenes 11 and water (Fig. 2d).3,4 Their internal surface offers hydrogen-bond donors and π-basic aromatic planes for catalysis within their confined interior.3,4 Unique selectivities have been reported, also for bioinspired terpene cyclizations, for instance.4 From cascade cyclization with the mixture of cis-1 diastereomers in capsules 8, cis-(BA)-3 was obtained as the main product besides the still preferred cis-(BB)-2 (Fig. 2a). The pure cis,syn-1 showed a clearly different product distribution, characterized by an increased power to violate the Baldwin rule in cycle 2, affording cis-(BA)-3 as the main product. The calculated fingerprint for the products of cis,anti-1 gave the complementary dominance of the Baldwin conformant cis-(BB)-2 instead.Differences in selectivity for the syn- and anti-diastereomers in the cis series were most spectacular with the pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 (Fig. 2a). Pnictogen-bonding catalysis has been introduced recently5–7 for consideration as the non-covalent counterpart of Lewis acid catalysis, analogous to hydrogen-bonding catalysis as non-covalent counterpart of Brønsted acid catalysis.7 Catalyst 9 is centered around an antimony V with one deep σ hole acting as pnictogen-bond donor to initiate catalysis.7 Catalyst 9 has been shown previously to efficiently break the Baldwin rules in polyether cyclizations.7,13 In the newly devised pie chart fingerprint, orthodox cis-(BB)-2 was indeed essentially absent (Fig. 2a). The mixture of diastereomers cis-1 afforded cis-(BA)-3 and cis-(AB)-4 as main products. In sharp contrast, diastereo-pure cis,syn-1 gave mostly cis,syn-(BA)-3. As a consequence, the calculated product fingerprint of cis,anti-1 showed the highly selective formation of cis,anti-(AB)-4.Selective access to cis,anti-(AB)-4 with pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 was remarkable because none of the other stereoisomers of (AB)-4 were observed throughout the study (Fig. 3a and and4a).4a). Exclusive access to cis,anti-(AB)-4 from cis,anti-1 was understandable considering cascade cyclization with normal directionality (Fig. 1). Namely, the endo-tet cyclization of ring 1 will afford the reactive intermediate III (Fig. 4b). From this intermediate III, the exo-tet Baldwin conformant formation of ring 2 is possibly supported by an intramolecular hydrogen bond (Fig. 4b and c, arrows), which activates the nucleophile and places an epoxide in an equatorial position.Open in a separate windowFig. 4(a) The formation of only one out of four possible (AB) isomers 4 and (b) the origin of the selectivity and products found in the anti-Baldwin series with capsule 8 and pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9, with (c) selected X-ray structures.These favorable conditions to access cis,anti-(AB)-4 from cis,anti-1 contrasted sharply with the situation with all other diastereomers. In the cis series, access to the complementary cis,syn-(AB)-4 from cis,syn-1 is disfavored although the nucleophile in the reactive intermediate IV remains possibly activated by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. However, the axial orientations of epoxide in intermediate IV and a very bulky tertiary alcohol in product 4 make this reaction unlikely.With cis,syn-(AB)-4 from cis,syn-1 unfavorable, reactive intermediate IV obtained from an anti-Baldwin cyclization of ring 1 needs an alternative solution. An obvious choice is continuation with another endo-tet anti-Baldwin cyclization for ring 2 to result in cis,syn-(AA)-5 with a more flexible cis-fused oxepane ring. This cis,syn-(AA)-5 was indeed part of the product fingerprint of cis,syn-1 cyclized with pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 (Fig. 2a). The markedly different amounts of cis,syn-(AA)-5 and cis,anti-(AB)-4 obtained from cis,syn-1 and cis,anti-1, respectively (Fig. 2a), would then suggest that normal cascade cyclizations are interconnected, possibly concerted (Fig. 1b).The differences of the selectivity of the cascade cyclization of cis,syn-1 and cis,anti-1 with pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 (Fig. 2a) and the importance of the implications called for the experimental validation of the calculated results for cis,anti-1. Therefore, pure diastereomer cis,anti-1 was prepared and cyclized using catalyst 9. The experimental product fingerprint was very similar to the calculated one, confirming the unique cis,anti-(AB)-4 as the main product of the reaction (Fig. 2b). This results also validated the use of calculated data to decode complex product fingerprints completely.In the trans series, pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 again broke the Baldwin rules most efficiently (Fig. 2a). For all diastereomers, trans-(AA)-5 was observed as the main product with more than 75% yield. This exceptional selectivity was understandable considering the reactive intermediates V and VI after the endo-tet cyclization of ring 1 (Fig. 4b). Contrary to intermediates III and IV in the cis series, the methyl substituent at the ring junction is in axial position also with regard to ring 2. 1,3-Diaxial interactions of the approaching electrophile with this methyl thus hinder the formation of this ring 2 by an exo-tet cyclization. Presumably for this reason, the trans-fused bis-oxane products trans,anti-(AB)-4 and trans,syn-(AB)-4 were not observed. With Baldwin cyclizations hindered, endo-tet anti-Baldwin cyclizations occurred instead to afford the respective trans,anti-(AA)-5 and trans,syn-(AA)-5 with very high selectivity (Fig. 2a).The supramolecular capsules 8 applied to the trans series yielded two new products 6 and 7 (Fig. 2). Product 6 was identified by 2D NMR spectroscopy to be a hemiacetal cyclized on an anti-Baldwin ring 1 (Fig. S72†). It exists in equilibrium with the open ketone form 12, which results in dynamic epimerization at the “anomeric center” (Fig. 2 and and4).4). Derivatization of hemiacetal 6 with aromatic hydrazines gave the respective hydrazones (Fig. S76 and S77†). Product 7 was identified as an acyclic allyl alcohol extending from an anti-Baldwin ring 1 (Fig. 2 and S73–S75†). Both new products might originate from intermediate VII, which is generated from substrate 1 by endo-tet cyclization of ring 1 and the opening of epoxide 2 to afford the tertiary carbocation (Fig. 4b). From intermediate VII, the formation of allyl alcohol 7 only requires a proton abstraction from one of the two adjacent methyl groups. Ketone 12 originates from the same intermediate VIIvia House-Meinwald rearrangement,15 that is a 1,2-hydride shift. Similar processes might occur with trans-diepoxide 1 to give an alternative cationic intermediate VIII, which can proceed through reverse cyclization (Fig. 1b) to give products 6 and 7. Stabilization of carbocations via cation–π interactions is a distinct feature of this type of capsules.3,4The formation of these two new products in capsule 8 could be understood considering the inaccessibility of both AB products in the trans series, i.e., trans,syn-(AB)-4 and trans,anti-(AB)-4, with the explored catalysts (Fig. 4a). As already mentioned, the anti-Baldwin cyclization from trans,anti-1 and trans,syn-1 into intermediates V and VI with ring 1 is unproblematic, whereas continuation with exo-tet Baldwin cyclization of ring 2 is hindered by an axial methyl and, compared to the cis series, missing intramolecular activation of the nucleophile (Fig. 4b). With pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9, the solution was an alternative endo-tet anti-Baldwin cyclization into the trans-fused AA products 5, as discussed above (Fig. 2a and and4b).4b). In capsule 8, this endo-tet anti-Baldwin continuation of the cascade was not favorable. The reason for this distinctive selectivity within capsule 8 remains to be explored. In contrast to the other catalysts, the capsule may be able to stabilize cation VII better due to cation–π stabilization, making this pathway accessible.While the new oxanes 6 and 7 were obtained as main products from trans,anti-1 and trans,syn-1 with similar yields, the composition of the side products differed in the respective fingerprints (Fig. 2a). Cyclization of trans,syn-1 gave trans-(BB)-2 as the main side product, while trans,anti-1 gave trans,anti-(AA)-5 as the main side product. This difference was of interest because it could support that the cascade cyclizations might be interconnected, possibly concerted, at least in the present context.While capsules 8 excelled with access to new products in the trans series and pnictogen-bonding catalysts 9 with unique AB-BA selectivity on the level of diastereomers in the cis series, anion–π catalysts gave mostly Baldwin products like general Brønsted acid catalysis, independent of the stereochemistry of substrate 1 (Fig. 2). The largest deviation from Brønsted acid catalysis occurred with cis,anti-1, which gave a substantial percentage of cis-(BA)-3 and also a small amount of cis-(AB)-4 (Fig. 2a). The same trend, but less pronounced, was noted with the complementary trans,anti-1, which produced also small amounts of trans-(BA)-3 and trans-(AA)-5, formed instead of the inaccessible trans-(AB)-4 (see above, Fig. 2a).After investigation for anion transport, anion–π interactions have been introduced to catalysis in stabilizing anionic transition states on π-acidic surfaces.8,10 Over the past decade, catalysts from hexafluorobenzene to π-stacked foldamers, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, artificial enzymes have been applied to many reactions, including enolate, enamine, imine, Diels–Alder chemistry.8 Polyether cyclizations have been introduced as a cascade transformation that should benefit best from the delocalized nature of anion–π interactions.10 On π-acidic surfaces, polyether cyclizations were autocatalytic,10 a unique emergent property that has not been observed in the many studies with systems without anion–π interactions.11With the privileged probe for supramolecular catalysis envisioned in this study, it was thus most interesting to assess the dependence of autocatalysis on the stereochemistry of the substrate. Significant dependence was conceivable considering the different products obtained from diastereomers of cis-1 with pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9 (Fig. 2a). Kinetics of all four test substrates converted with anion–π catalyst showed autocatalytic behavior (Fig. 5a and b). Moreover, autocatalysis was nearly independent of the stereochemistry of the substrate. This absence of diastereoselective autocatalysis was consistent with the computed model for transition-state stabilization by the product, and could explain why it is so difficult to achieve asymmetric autocatalysis on anion–π catalyst 10.13 Control experiments confirmed that general Brønsted acid catalysis does not show autocatalytic behavior, independent of the stereochemistry of substrate 1 (Fig. 5c and d).Open in a separate windowFig. 5Kinetics of the conversion of cis-1 (a and c, circles), cis,syn-1 (a and c, squares), trans-1 (b and d, circles) and trans,anti-1 (b and d, squares) with (a and b) anion–π catalyst 10 (10 mol%, rt) and (c and d) AcOH (500 mol%, 40 °C) in CD2Cl2, with hypothetical intermediate IX for autocatalysis on π-acidic surfaces.Taken together, the decoding of product fingerprints for cascade cyclizations that are simple enough to be tractable and complex enough to be interesting affords a privileged platform to characterize supramolecular catalysis. It is highly responsive to as many characteristics as possible, thus reporting on as many distinct advantages of the catalytic system as possible. The minimal substrate toolbox contains cis and trans di-epoxides as mixtures of syn–anti diastereomers, and at least one pure diastereomer. Most pairs of enantiomers are resolved in the chiral GC fingerprints. Applied to three model catalysts in comparison to general Brønsted acid catalysis, distinct fingerprints were found for all catalysts as well as for all different diastereomers of the substrate.In the cis series, most significant selectivity was observed with pnictogen-bonding catalysts, which give the unique AB product for anti and the more frequent BA product for the syn diastereomer of the diepoxide substrate with remarkably high selectivity. In the trans series, pnictogen-bonding catalysts broke the Baldwin rules most efficiently and independent of substrate stereochemistry, while within supramolecular capsules, completely new products were formed, including an interesting House–Meinwald rearrangement leading to cyclic hemiacetals. These distinct selectivities can be understood from the nature of the reactive intermediates. Together with particularly revealing details in the decoded product fingerprints, experimental support is obtained that the cascades are interconnected, possibly concerted. In clear contrast, anion–π catalysts gave mostly Baldwin products with fingerprints similar to general Brønsted acids. However, they showed unique autocatalytic behavior, a distinct emergent property that was independent of the stereochemistry of the substrate. All these distinctive characteristics found for representative supramolecular catalysts would be missed without the availability of decoded product fingerprints.These results thus validate the existence and significance of privileged substrate systems as general chemistry tools to characterize supramolecular catalysis. Once established, decoded polyether cascade fingerprints are very easy to use, ready to serve the community. For a new supramolecular catalyst to be characterized, the decoded fingerprints will reveal unique differences compared to controls. Importantly, because the system is hyperresponsive (Fig. 1a and and2a),2a), differences will be magnified. Due to the complexity required for hyperresponsiveness, the correlation of the fingerprint with the reactivity of a new catalyst will be mostly tentative and empirical at this point. For instance, AcOH-like fingerprints should reflect activation of epoxide opening to release the intramolecular leaving group, possibly supported by activation of the nucleophile as for autocatalysis on 10 (Fig. 5, IX). Fingerprints with more or even mostly A products should correlate with increasing SN1-like behavior. However, the generation of mostly B products with AcOH implies that the activation of epoxide opening needs to be supported by stabilization of the resulting carbocation with, e.g., cation–π interactions to afford A products. With pnictogen-bonding catalyst 9, this would be meaningful on the π-basic tetrachlorocatecholate plane next to the σ hole stabilizing the alcoholate (Fig. 2d). In fingerprints with the new HM-rearrangement products, so far unique for capsules 8, the existence of carbocation intermediates is experimentally confirmed and thus presumably most relevant, due to cation–π interactions, confinement effects, or both. From here, with the system trained with more and more fingerprints, the correlation of fingerprint with mechanism of a new catalyst should become increasingly informative. Sooner or later, this will enable high-level computational simulations at high confidence,7 which in turn will enhance the information on reactivity available from fingerprints of new catalysts. According to preliminary results on the difference between pnictogen-bonding and Lewis acid catalysis7 and the elucidation of more complex supramolecular systems,16 these future perspectives are most promising. 相似文献

A series of 7-amino- and polyaminosterol analogues of squalamine and trodusquemine were synthesized involving a new stereoselective titanium reductive amination reaction in high chemical yields of up to 95% in numerous cases. These derivatives were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial properties against human pathogens. All the compounds present excellent activities against Gram-positive bacteria exhibiting similar results against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecalis with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) varying from 2.5 to 10 μg/mL. Numerous derivatives possess also MICs against Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria (MICs varying from 2.5 to 10 μg/mL) suggesting that nature of the amino group attached to the sterol moiety plays an important role on the activities of such products. 相似文献

Herein, the effect of the alkali cation (Li+, Na+, K+, and Cs+) in alkaline electrolytes with and without Fe impurities is investigated for enhancing the activity of nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Cyclic voltammograms show that Fe impurities have a significant catalytic effect on OER activity; however, both under purified and unpurified conditions, the trend in OER activity is Cs+ > Na+ > K+ > Li+, suggesting an intrinsic cation effect of the OER activity on Fe‐free Ni oxyhydroxide. In situ surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), shows this cation dependence is related to the formation of superoxo OER intermediate (NiOO?). The electrochemically active surface area, evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), is not influenced significantly by the cation. We postulate that the cations interact with the Ni?OO? species leading to the formation of NiOO??M+ species that is stabilized better by bigger cations (Cs+). This species would then act as the precursor to O2 evolution, explaining the higher activity. 相似文献

General synthetic access to expanded π‐acidic surfaces of variable size, topology, chirality, and π acidity is reported. The availability of π surfaces with these characteristics is essential to develop the functional relevance of anion–π interactions with regard to molecular recognition, translocation, and transformation. The problem is that, with expanded π surfaces, the impact of electron‐withdrawing substituents decreases and the high π acidity needed for strong anion–π interactions can be more difficult to obtain. To overcome this problem, it is herein proposed to build large surfaces from smaller fragments and connect these fragments with bridges that are composed only of single atoms. Two central surfaces for powerful anion–π interactions, namely, perfluoroarenes and naphthalenediimides (NDIs), were selected as fragments and coupled with through sulfide bridges. Their oxidation to sulfoxides and sulfones, as well as fluorine substitution in the peripheral rings, provides access to the full chemical space of relevant π acidities. According to cyclic voltammetry, LUMO levels range from ?3.96 to ?4.72 eV. With sulfoxide bridges, stereogenic centers are introduced to further enrich the intrinsic planar chirality of the expanded surfaces. The stereoisomers were separated by chiral HPLC and characterized by X‐ray crystallography. Their topologies range from chairs to π boats, and the latter are reminiscent of the cation–π boxes in operational neuronal receptors. With pentafluorophenyl acceptors, the π acidity of NDIs with two sulfoxide groups in the core reaches ?4.45 eV, whereas two sulfone moieties give a value of ?4.72 eV, which is as low as with four ethyl sulfone groups, that is, a π superacid near the limit of existence. Beyond anion–π interactions, these conceptually innovative π‐acidic surfaces are also of interest as electron transporters in conductive materials. 相似文献

The synthesis and resolution of electronically varied axially chiral Quinazolinaps is reported. These ligands bear different aryl groups on the donor phosphorus atom and were synthesised as part of our investigations into electronic effects within this ligand class. A diastereomerically pure palladacycle of one ligand was characterised by X-ray crystallography. The application of these Quinazolinaps to the rhodium-catalysed hydroboration of vinylarenes resulted in enantioselectivities of up to 92%. Their application to the palladium-catalysed allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate resulted in conversions of up to 99% and enantioselectivities of up to 94%. 相似文献
