Published: September 2014

AbstractPolymer diols are a class of polymeric building blocks of high interest for the synthesis of complex macromolecular edifices. Rare‐earth borohydride complexes are known as efficient initiators for the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters, directly affording α,ω‐dihydroxy‐telechelic polyesters. Here, were report the direct synthesis of poly(benzyl β‐malolactonate) (PMLABe) diols, from the ROP of racemic (benzyl β‐malolactonate) (rac‐MLABe), a valuable and renewable monomer, initiated by the homoleptic [Ln(BH4)3(thf)3] (Ln=La, Nd, and Sm) complexes. These initiators enabled the controlled ROP of this β‐lactone, affording well‐defined syndiotactic‐enriched (Pr≈0.83) PMLABes (Mn up to 21 300 g mol−1, ÐM≈1.5) as evidenced by size exclusion chromatography, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and MALDI‐ToF mass spectrometry analyses. The first and second insertions of rac‐MLABe, as assessed by DFT calculations, revealed more favorable stationary front‐side than migratory back‐side insertions, the thermodynamically and kinetically competitive ROP on two distinct arms with that on a one arm‐only, and the thermodynamically slightly favored formation of syndiotactic‐enriched PMLABes.

Published: September 2014

AbstractHemithioindigo (HTI) photoswitches have a tremendous potential for biological and supramolecular applications due to their absorptions in the visible‐light region in conjunction with ultrafast photoisomerization and high thermal bistability. Rational tailoring of the photophysical properties for a specific application is the key to exploit the full potential of HTIs as photoswitching tools. Herein we use time‐resolved absorption spectroscopy and Hammett analysis to discover an unexpected principal limit to the photoisomerization rate for donor‐substituted HTIs. By using stationary absorption and fluorescence measurements in combination with theoretical investigations, we offer a detailed mechanistic explanation for the observed rate limit. An alternative way of approaching and possibly even exceeding the maximum rate by multiple donor substitution is demonstrated, which give access to the fastest HTI photoswitch reported to date.
Conformational Control of Oligo(p‐phenyleneethynylene)s with Intrinsic Substituent Electronic Effects: Origin of the Twist in Pentiptycene‐Containing Systems
Authors: Lin Che‐Jen , Kundu Sandip Kumar , Lin Cheng‐Kai , Yang Jye‐Shane 
Published: September 2014

AbstractDependence of the backbone planarity of oligo(p‐phenyleneethynylene)s (OPEs) on the intrinsic electronic character of substituents and on the nature of the solvent has been experimentally demonstrated with a series of center‐symmetrical five‐ring systems, pentiptycene‐pentiptycene‐arene‐pentiptycene‐pentiptycene, differing in the substituents on the central arene. In frozen 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF), the adjacent pentiptycene units prefer to be in a mutually twisted orientation when the substituents are electron‐withdrawing (F and amido), resulting in a TPPT or TTTT conformation, whereas a planarized PPPP backbone is favored in the case of electron‐donating substituents (alkyl and alkoxy). The propensity to adopt the PPPP form is generally enhanced by replacing MTHF with either methylcyclohexane or mixed ethanol/methanol as solvent. These observations reveal that the twist between adjacent pentiptycene units in OPEs is a consequence of the electronic rather than steric effects of iptycenyl substituents. The electronic effect of iptycenyl substituents is manifested in decreased phenylene π polarizability as the net effect of both electron‐donating hyperconjugation and an electron‐withdrawing inductive effect. Variable‐temperature electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies are the critical tools for this work. Our findings provide important guidelines for conformational and electronic engineering of OPEs and for the design of novel iptycene‐based organic electronic materials.
Cationic Copper(I) Complexes as Highly Efficient Catalysts for Single and Double A3‐Coupling Mannich Reactions of Terminal Alkynes: Mechanistic Insights and Comparative Studies with Analogous Gold(I) Complexes
Authors: Grirrane Abdessamad , Álvarez Eleuterio , García Hermenegildo , Corma Avelino 
Published: September 2014

AbstractCationic CuL complexes (L=Buchwald‐type phosphane) with N co‐ligands have been characterised by structural and spectroscopic properties. These copper(I) complexes are extremely active catalysts, far more active than analogous gold(I) complexes, to promote the single and double A3 coupling of terminal alkynes, pyrrolidine and formaldehyde. The activity data show the possible ways in which the solvent can influence the catalytic performance by limiting complex solubility, by solvent decomposition or instability of the copper(I) redox state. Isolation of copper(I) complexes that are likely to be the key catalytic species has allowed light to be shed on the reaction mechanism.
Copper‐Catalyzed Mild Nitration of Protected Anilines

Published: September 2014

AbstractA practical copper‐catalyzed direct nitration of protected anilines, by using one equivalent of nitric acid as the nitrating agent, has been developed. This procedure features mild reaction conditions, wide structural scope (with regard to both N‐protecting group and arene substitution), and high functional‐group tolerance. Dinitration with two equivalents of nitric acid is also feasible.
Gallium‐Assisted Transfer Hydrogenation of Alkenes
Authors: Michelet Bastien , Bour Christophe , Gandon Vincent 
Published: September 2014

AbstractWe report a rare case of alkene transfer hydrogenation using a main‐group compound instead of a transition‐metal complex as catalyst. We disclosed that 1,4‐cyclohexadiene can be used as H2 surrogate towards olefin reduction in the presence of [IPrGaCl2][SbF6]. Hydrogenative cyclizations have also been carried out because this cationic gallium complex is also a potent hydroarylation catalyst.

Published: September 2014

AbstractWe describe a straightforward strategy for the synthesis of strongly fluorescent pyridoindoles by Pd‐catalyzed oxidative annulations of internal alkynes with C‐3 functionalized indoles through CH/NH bond activation in a one‐pot tandem process. Mechanistic investigations reveal the preferential activation of NH indole followed by CH activation during the cyclization process. Photophysical properties of pyridoindoles exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum yield of nearly 80 %, with emission color varying from blue to green to orange depending on the substructures. Quantum mechanical calculations provide insights into the observed photophysical properties. The strong fluorescence of the pyrido[1,2‐a]indole derivative has been employed in subcellular imaging, which demonstrates its localization in the cell nucleus.
Angular‐Resolved Magnetometry Beyond Triclinic Crystals Part II: Torque Magnetometry of Cp*ErCOT Single‐Molecule Magnets

Published: September 2014

AbstractThe experimental investigation of the molecular magnetic anisotropy in crystals in which the magnetic centers are symmetry related, but do not have a parallel orientation has been approached by using torque magnetometry. A single crystal of the orthorhombic organometallic Cp*ErCOT [Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadiene anion (C5Me5−); COT=cyclooctatetraenedianion (C8H82−)] single‐molecule magnet, characterized by the presence of two nonparallel families of molecules in the crystal, has been investigated above its blocking temperature. The results confirm an Ising‐type anisotropy with the easy direction pointing along the pseudosymmetry axis of the complex, as previously suggested by out‐of‐equilibrium angular‐resolved magnetometry. The use of torque magnetometry, not requiring the presence of magnetic hysteresis, proves to be even more powerful for these purposes than standard single‐crystal magnetometry. Furthermore, exploiting the sensitivity and versatility of this technique, magnetic anisotropy has been investigated up to 150 K, providing additional information on the crystal‐field splitting of the ground J multiplet of the ErIII ion.

AbstractFour isostructural [Ni2Ln2(CH3CO2)3(HL)4(H2O)2]3+(Ln3+=Dy (1), Tb (2), Ho (3) or Lu (4)) complexes and a dinuclear [NiGd(HL)2(NO3)3] (5) complex are reported (where HL=2‐methoxy‐6‐[(E)‐2′‐hydroxymethyl‐phenyliminomethyl]‐phenolate). For compounds 1–3 and 5, the Ni2+ ions are ferromagnetically coupled to the respective lanthanide ions. The ferromagnetic coupling in 1 suppresses the quantum tunnelling of magnetisation (QTM), resulting in a rare zero dc field Ni–Dy single‐molecule magnet, with an anisotropy barrier Ueff of 19 K.

Published: September 2014

AbstractThe polyproline II helix (PPII) is increasingly recognized as an important element in peptide and protein structures. The discovery of pertinent PPII peptidomimetics is of great interest to tune physical properties of the targeted structure. A series of silaproline oligomers from dimer to pentamer were synthesized. CD studies, NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling revealed that the ribbon preferentially populates the polyproline type II secondary structure in both [D]chloroform and [D4]MeOH. The characteristics of this new lipophilic PPII‐like helix were determined.
