Three achiral polycyclic aromatic fluorophores─namely, 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, 9-anthracenecarboxylic and perylene-3,9-dicarboxylic acid─were chosen based on their desired properties before being incorporated into the construction of a K+-carrying gamma-cyclodextrin (γ-CD)-based metal–organic framework (CD-MOF-1) γ-CD-containing hybrid frameworks (CD-HFs). Among these fluorophores, only pyrene-carrying one shows significant noncovalent bonding interactions with γ-CD in solution. This...
Abstract Simple Brønsted acids such as p ‐toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTS) or polymer‐bound efficiently catalyze the direct nucleophilic substitution of hydroxy group allylic and benzylic alcohols with a large variety carbon‐ heteroatom‐centered nucleophiles. Reaction conditions are mild, process is conducted under an atmosphere air without need for dried solvents, water only side product reaction.
Simple Brønsted acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (PTS) efficiently catalyze a direct substitution of the hydroxyl group in propargylic alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Selective propargylation or allenylation is obtained depending on nature alkynol. Reactions can be performed air undried solvents water being only side product process. By applying this reaction key step, range interesting polysubstituted furans easily synthesized one-pot procedure. [reaction: see text].

Abstract We report a new family of hexa‐ peri ‐hexabenzocoronene (HBC)‐based helical nanographenes incorporating π‐extended carbo[5]helicenes bearing an octagonal carbocycle. This represents kind highly distorted saddle‐helix hybrid nanographenes. For the first time, eight‐membered ring becomes constituent both carbo[5]helicene and HBC thus, negative curvature is responsible for twisting units. novel chiral motif, namely, oct‐[5]helicene results in largest torsion angle recorded so far ( θ...
Take your pick! Indene-containing indole scaffolds have been catalytically prepared from C3-propargylated indoles by tandem reactions involving an initial 1,2-indole migration. This unprecedented process generates a gold carbene complex and proceeds through either formal CH insertion or Nazarov cyclization (see scheme).
The direct alkylation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with benzylic alcohols is shown to be efficiently catalyzed by simple Brønsted acids such as triflic acid (TfOH) and p-toluenesulfonic (PTS) give rise monoalkylated dicarbonyl derivatives in high yields. In the absence nucleophile, substituted alkenes, generated through a formal dimerization reaction, are obtained. reactions carried out air using undried solvents, water being only side product process.
In this manuscript, we report the first synthesis of an organic monomolecular emitter, which behaves as a circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-based ratiometric probe. The enantiopure helical ortho-oligo(phenylene)ethynylene (o-OPE) core has been prepared by new and efficient macrocyclization reaction. combination such o-OPE skeleton pyrene couple leads to two different CPL emission features in single structure whose ratio linearly responds silver(I) concentration.

Here we describe a new class of CPL switches based on oxophilic interactions between chiral sulfoxide-containing ortho-phenylene ethynylene (o-OPE) foldamers and cationic metals. These systems represent unique case combining high glum values (up to 0.7 × 10-2) quantum yields in both folded ON unfolded OFF states.

Using the break junction (BJ) technique we show that Au(RS)2 units play a significant role in thiol-terminated molecular junctions formed on gold. We have studied range of compounds, either with sulfur atoms direct conjugation phenyl core, or bonded to saturated methylene groups. For all molecules observe at least two distinct groups conductance plateaus. By careful analysis length behavior these plateaus, comparing across different cores and methyl sulfide anchor groups, demonstrate lower...

To that end, optimization the electric and magnetic dipole transition moments molecule necessary. Nevertheless, relationship between chemical structure such quantum mechanical not always clear.

Similar to propargylic carboxylates and sulphides, 3-propargylindoles undergo 1,2-indole migrations under cationic gold(I) catalysis. The intermediate Au-carbenoid complex may evolve through different pathways depending on the substituents at terminal positions of alkyne moiety. Thus, 3-indenylindole derivatives were easily obtained formal iso-Nazarov or Nazarov cyclizations. DFT computations support formation an alkylidenecyclopropane that undergoes gold-iso-Nazarov gold-Nazarov...
