Development of a simple and efficient methodology to control the placement, spacing, alignment single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is essential for nanotechnology device application. Building on growing understanding that strong π–π interaction between bases single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) CNTs sufficient not only drive CNT solubility in water but also stabilize individual against clustering aqueous solution, new motif functionalizing origami (DO) with demonstrated. solubilized via wrapping...
Modular oxacyclophanes featuring m-terphenyl units scaffold inter-pi-system interaction in face-to-face stacked or orthogonal orientations, leading to distinct photophysical properties.
Cross-conjugated bifunctional species including a phosphine, phosphine oxide, sulfide, phosphonium salt, phosphorus ylide and gold(I) complex have been prepared. The photophysical characteristics of the series compounds determined experimentally are discussed/compared with simpler analogues lacking cross-conjugated branches rationalized on basis DFT calculations.
Chromophores ranging from simple small molecule π-conjugated systems comprised of phenylene ethynylene or fluorenylethynyl units to cross-conjugated Bunz-type cruciforms have been derivatized include 1,3-bis(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl moieties. The photophysical responsiveness these diamino-substituted chromophores metal ions has examined. Both emission enhancement (turn-on) and ratiometric fluorescence detection Cu(2+) Zn(2+) achieved in THF.
Abstract A dinucleating ligand {1,3‐bis[2‐(di‐2‐picolylaminomethyl)phenyl]benzene, L2 } built on a m ‐terphenyl scaffold was prepared. The dissociation constants for the dizinc complex of (Zn 2 ) binding to phosphate, pyrophosphate and commercially available complexometric indicators were determined under physiological pH [10 M N ‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)piperazine‐ N′ ‐2‐ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer at 7.4]. Colorimetric fluorescence‐based indicator displacement assays with selectivity over...
The synthesis and characterization of a polychelatogen derived from thionated lactide is reported.
An oxacyclophane framework is modified to include π‐conjugated segments positioned so as allow an optimized face‐to‐face π‐stacking interaction between them. This unique architecture first employed for the preparation of model compounds with defined two small molecular organic chromophores. The allows facile through‐space energy transfer chromophores when they are held in appropriate geometry. thus a polymer consecutive short stretches phenylene ethynylene such that chain conjugation...
Abstract The cover picture shows a dizinc phosphohydrolase model built on m ‐terphenyl scaffold that binds pyrophosphate with concomitant displacement of complexometric indicators; this leads to dramatic color changes can be detected visually and quantified spectroscopically. Details are discussed in the article by R. C. Smith et al. p. 343 ff.
