Controlled Generation of 9-Boratriptycene by Lewis Adduct Dissociation: Accessing a Non-Planar Triarylborane

A highly bent triarylborane, 9-boratriptycene, was generated in solution by selective protodeboronation of the corresponding tetra-aryl boron ate complex with the strong Brønsted acid HNTf₂. The iptycene core confers enhanced Lewis acidity to 9-boratriptycene, making it unique in terms of structure and reactivity. We studied the stereoelectronic properties of 9-boratriptycene by quantifying its association with small N- and O-centered Lewis bases, as well as with sterically hindered phosphines. The resultant Lewis adducts exhibited unique structural, spectroscopic, and photophysical properties. Beyond the high pyramidalization of the 9-boratriptycene scaffold and its low reorganization energy upon Lewis base coordination, quantum chemical calculations revealed that the absence of π donation from the triptycene aryl rings to the boron vacant p_z orbital is one of the main reasons for its high Lewis acidity.     

Blue-Shift Hydrogen Bonds in Silyltriptycene Derivatives: Antibonding σ* Orbitals of the Si−C Bond as Effective Acceptors of Electron Density

Triptycene derivatives are widely utilized in different fields of chemistry and materials sciences. Their physicochemical properties, often of pivotal importance for the rational design of triptycene-based functional materials, are influenced by noncovalent interactions between substituents mounted on the triptycene skeleton. Herein, a unique interaction between electron-rich substituents in the peri position and the silyl group located on the bridgehead sp³-carbon is discussed on the example of 1,4-dichloro-9-(p-methoxyphenyl)-silyltriptycene (TRPCl) which exists in solution in the form of two rotamers differing by dispositions, syn or anti, of the Si−C_Ph (the C_Ph atom is from the p-methoxyphenyl group) bond against the peri-Cl atom. For the first time, substantial differences between the Si−C_Ph bonds in these two dispositions are identified, based on indirect experimental and direct theoretical evidence. For these two orientations, the experimental ¹J(Si,C_Ph) values differ by as much as 10 percent. The differences are explained in terms of effective electron density transfer from the peri-Cl atom to the antibonding σ* orbitals of the Si−X bonds (X=H, C_Ph) oriented anti to that atom. The electronic effects are revealed by an NBO analysis. Connections of these observations with the notion of blue-shifting hydrogen bonds are discussed.

Triptycene haloquinones 3 react with sodium alkoxides in refluxing alcohol to afford, besides the expected substitution products, pentiptycene quinone 4. This approach to 4 is compared with a Diels-Alder strategy to the same compound.     

Triptycene‐Derived Calix[6]arenes: Synthesis,Structures, and Their Complexation with Fullerenes C60 and C70

Two pairs of novel triptycene‐derived calix[6]arenes 4 a , b and 5 a , b have been efficiently synthesized through both one‐pot and two‐step fragment‐coupling strategies starting from 2,7‐bis(hydroxymethyl)‐1,8‐dimethoxytriptycene 1 . Subsequent demethylation of 4 a , b and 5 a , b with BBr₃ in dry dichloromethane gave the macrocyclic compounds 6 a , b and 7 a , b . Treatment of either 4 a or 6 a with AlCl₃ resulted in the same debutylated product 8 , while 9 was similarly obtained from either 5 a or 7 a . Structural studies revealed that all of the macrocycles have well‐defined structures with fixed conformations both in solution and in the solid state owing to the introduction of the triptycene moiety with a rigid three‐dimensional (3D) structure, making them very different from their classical calix[6]arene counterparts. As a consequence, it was found that all of these the triptycene‐derived calix[6]arenes could encapsulate small neutral molecules in their cavities in the solid state. Moreover, it was also found that the macrocycles 4 b and 5 b showed highly efficient complexation abilities toward fullerenes C₆₀ and C₇₀, forming 1:1 complexes with association constants ranging from (5.22±0.20)×10⁴ to (8.68±0.30)×10⁴ M ^?1.     

Guest-dependent complexation of triptycene-derived macrotricyclic host containing one anthracene moiety with paraquat derivatives: construction of [2]rotaxanes

Complexation between the triptycene-derived macrotricyclic polyether containing an anthracene unit and paraquat derivatives in both solution and solid state was investigated. It was found that the macrotricyclic host with multi-cavity structure could form a series of [2]pseudorotaxanes with different terminal functionalised paraquat derivatives in different threading modes, which subsequently resulted in the construction of two novel [2]rotaxanes.     

A Ferrocenyl Kaleidoscope: Slow Interconversion of Six Diastereo‐atropisomers of 2,6‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐9,10‐diferrocenyltriptycene

The title triptycene, 6 , has been isolated as the product of 9,10‐cycloaddition of benzyne to 9,10‐diferrocenyl‐2,6‐di‐tert‐butylanthracene, 5 , whose X‐ray crystal structure is reported. Each ferrocenyl unit in 6 has access to the same three non‐equivalent molecular environments, and their rotations relative to the molecular paddlewheel give rise to six slowly interconverting atropisomers. Their dynamic behaviour in solution is a challenging NMR puzzle that can be successfully solved by taking advantage of the recently described very large diamagnetic anisotropy of the ferrocenyl moiety, together with the C₂ symmetry of particular atropisomers. Application of one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR techniques over a range of temperatures together, with a detailed analysis of the homo‐ and heteronuclear correlations in 6 , resulted in unequivocal mapping of the 99 ¹H and 162 ¹³C positions in the six interconverting systems. Variable‐temperature 2D‐EXSY measurements revealed that, while the stability of the atropisomers is almost identical, they are separated by energy barriers which the ferrocenyls must overcome in the course of their interconversions. The heights of two different rotational barriers have been identified and these experimental findings are in good agreement with DFT calculations.
