- Photogenerated charge collection on diamond electrodes with covalently linked chromophore monolayers
-
Encouraged by its rich surface chemistry and excellent electrochemical properties, boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond (B:NCD) is a promising p-type photoelectrode in dye-sensitized solar cells. One method of diamond surface functionalization using stable carbon-carbon bonds involves the electrochemical grafting of diazonium salts. However, this method typically leads to multilayers that may complicate the transport of photogenerated charges. Here, we establish functionalization of B:NCD electrodes by a monolayer of ethynylphenyl molecules using sterically hindered 4-(trimethylsilyl)ethynylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate. Both the density and structural orientation of the grafted layer are investigated by angular resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confirming the presence of covalently grafted monolayers. After removal of the trimethylsilyl protective groups, the resulting ethynyl functionalities are employed to immobilize organic donor-acceptor chromophores via Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Homogenous surface coverage is achieved even on the B:NCD electrode. Atomic scale DFT computing reveals that for the chromophore with the strongest acceptor unit, efficient charge separation of 20 ? is obtained where photogenerated holes move directly into diamond. Yet, photocurrent and photovoltage measurements suggest competitive electron recombination to the diamond electrode via the redox electrolyte. Correlation between the density of the molecular layer and photocurrents/photovoltage provides better understanding of the charge generation and recombination pathways in diamond-organic photoelectrochemical cells.

- Synthesis, characterization, photophysics, and anion binding properties of gold(i) acetylide complexes with amide groups
-
A series of mononuclear gold(i) acetylide complexes with amide groups, Ph3PAuCCC6H4NHC(O)C6H4-R-4 (R = NO2 (3a), CF3 (3b), H (3c), and OMe (3d)), has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of Ph3PAuCCC6H4NHC(O)C6H4-NO2-4 (3a) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The photophysical properties of gold(i) acetylide complexes 3b-3d were studied and the complexes show luminescence both in the solid state and in degassed THF solutions at 298 K. The anion-binding abilities of complexes 3a-3d in CDCl3 were also studied through 1H NMR titration experiments. They show similar anion selectivity trends and 3a exhibits the highest binding affinity towards anions due to the strongest electron-withdrawing ability of the NO2 group. In DMSO, 3a shows a dramatic color change upon addition of F-, which provides access to naked eye detection of F-. This journal is

Fluorescence is widely used in biology, medicine, and analytical chemistry. The anthracene framework has received considerable attention for the luminescent molecular design as an attractive building unit. Herein, Luminescent “π-p-π” anthracene crystals with different multilayer stacking modes were conducted by experimental methods and theoretical calculations. It was found that “these anthracene derivatives showed strong fluorescence and stability in both solution and solid-state; A face-to-face π-π stacking arrangement dominated in N9,N10-diphenyl-2,6-bis((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)anthracene-9,10-diamine (4), while C/N–H … π interactions were observed in the crystal lattice of 2,6-diethynyl-N9,N10-diphenylanthracene-9,10-diamine (5); The excitation processes of S0→S1 of 4 and 5 belonged to Localized Excitation; The number of photons emitted could be nearly equal to the number of photons absorbed below 120K”. This study is expected to assist in the design of photonic materials in the field of optical chemistry.

- Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship of 7-propanamide benzoxaboroles as potent anticancer agents
-
Benzoxaboroles, as a novel class of bioactive molecules with unique physicochemical properties, have been shown to possess excellent antimicrobial activities with tavaborole approved in 2014 as an antifungal drug. Although urgently needed, the investigation of benzoxaboroles as anticancer agents has been lacking so far. In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and anticancer structure-activity relationship of a series of 7-propanamide benzoxaboroles. Compounds 103 and 115 showed potent activity against ovarian cancer cells with IC50 values of 33 and 21 nM, respectively. Apoptosis was induced by these compounds and colony formation was effectively inhibited. Furthermore, they also showed excellent efficacy in ovarian tumor xenograft mouse model.

- The design of liquid crystalline bistolane-based materials with extremely high birefringence
-
We designed three new bistolanes with alkylsulfanyl groups. A symmetric derivative contains short terminal methylsulfanyl groups (-SCH3) on both ends, while two asymmetric derivatives contain a methylsulfanyl group on one end, as well as a highly polarizable cyano (-CN) or isothiocyanate (-NCS) group on the other end. These materials exhibited a well-defined enantiotropic nematic phase, as well as an extremely high birefringence (Δn > 0.6). Most notably, the NCS derivative achieves an extremely high value of 0.77 at 550 nm. These results should be helpful for the design and synthesis of novel nematic materials with high birefringence.

- Structure-based design, synthesis and evaluation in vitro of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro derivatives as inhibitors of the tankyrases
-
Abstract The tankyrases are members of the PARP superfamily; they poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate their target proteins using NAD+ as a source of electrophilic ADP-ribosyl units. The three principal protein substrates of the tankyrases (TRF1, NuMA and axin) are involved in replication of cancer cells; thus inhibitors of the tankyrases may have anticancer activity. Using structure-based drug design and by analogy with known 3-arylisoquinolin-1-one and 2-arylquinazolin-4-one inhibitors, series of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridinopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro-derivatives were synthesised and evaluated in vitro. 7-Aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones, 3-aryl-2,6-naphthyridin-1-ones and 3-aryl-2,7-naphthyridin-1-ones were prepared by acid-catalysed cyclisation of the corresponding arylethynylpyridinenitriles or reaction of bromopyridinecarboxylic acids with β-diketones, followed by treatment with NH3. The 7-aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones were methylated at 1-N and reduced to 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones. Cu-catalysed reaction of benzamidines with bromopyridinecarboxylic acids furnished 2-arylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Condensation of benzamidines with methyl 1-benzyl-4-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylate and deprotection gave 2-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, aza analogues of the known inhibitor XAV939. Introduction of the ring-N in the arylnaphthyridinones and the arylpyridopyrimidinones caused >1000-fold loss in activity, compared with their carbocyclic isoquinolinone and quinazolinone analogues. However, the 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones showed excellent inhibition of the tankyrases, with some examples having IC50 = 2 nM. One compound (7-(4-bromophenyl)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-one) showed 70-fold selectivity for inhibition of tankyrase-2 versus tankyrase-1. The mode of binding was explored through crystal structures of inhibitors in complex with tankyrase-2.

- Synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolin-1-ones via a tandem desilylation, cross-coupling, hydroamidation sequence under aqueous phase-transfer conditions
-
A simple and expedient method for the synthesis of 3-methylene-isoindolin-1-ones 4 under aqueous phase-transfer conditions has been developed. Starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1 and (silyl)alkynes, the products are obtained in high yields and short reaction times (30 min) with the use of inexpensive CuCl/PPh3 catalyst system in the presence of n-Bu4NBr (TBAB) as a phase-transfer agent. Terminal alkynes are conveniently "unmasked" upon in situ desilylation under the reaction conditions. Alkynes possessing heterocyclic moieties were also found as amenable substrates. Furthermore, a one-pot process starting from 2-iodobenzamides 1, aryl halides (bromides or iodides) and trimethylsilylacetylene (TMSA) as a convenient acetylene surrogate was also shown to be feasible under Pd/Cu catalysis.

- Tunable electron acceptors based on cyclopenta[hi]aceanthrylenes
-
A series of substituted cyclopenta[hi]aceanthrylene derivatives with electron donating (NH2, OCH3), neutral (H), and electron withdrawing (COOH, CF3, CN, NO2) substituents were prepared. A room-temperature Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction between 2,7-dibromocyclopenta[hi]aceanthrylene and an appropriately functionalized phenylene ethynylene precursor was utilized to access the materials that were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) were systematically varied when proceeding from electron donating to electron withdrawing substituents. The optical band gap was significantly altered for the most electron donating species, while little change was observed between different electron withdrawing substituents. This study demonstrates the ability to control the frontier orbital energies of this class of cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon materials through selective substitution.

-
A counterion-controlled reactivity tuning in Pd-catalyzed highly chemoselective and regioselective dimerization and hydration of terminal alkynes is reported. The use of acetate as counterion favors the formation of an alkenyl alkynyl palladium intermediate which forms hitherto less reported 1,3-diaryl-substituted conjugated enynes after reductive elimination. Using chloride, which is a better leaving group, leads to anion exchange on the alkenylpalladium intermediate with hydroxide which after reductive elimination and tautomerization delivered the hydration products.

-
The reaction of trans-RuCl(C≡CC6H4R1-4)(dppe)2 (2: R1 = Me (a), C5H11 (b), OMe (c), CO2Me (d), NO2 (e), C≡CSiMe3 (f), C≡CBut (g), NH2 (h)), prepared in situ from reactions of [RuCl(dppe)2]OTf ([1]OTf) with terminal alkynes in CH2Cl2 solutions containing 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU) and TlBF4, provides a convenient and rapid route to bis(acetylide) complexes trans-Ru(C≡CC6H4R1-4)2(dppe)2 (3a-h) and trans-Ru(C≡ CC6H4R1-4)(C≡CC6H4R2-4)(dppe)2 (4, R1 = C≡CSiMe3, R2 = NH2; 5, R1 = CO2Me, R2 = NH2; 6, R1 = CO2Me, R2 = OMe). However, even in the absence of the chloride abstracting reagent, more strongly electron donating substituents (e.g., R1 = OMe (2c), NH2 (2h)) promote sufficient ionization of the Ru-Cl bond in trans-RuCl(C≡CC6H4R -4)(dppe)2 to lead to slow conversion to bis(alkynyl) complexes 3c,h in the presence of excess alkyne and DBU. Desilylation of 2f and 3f affords 2i and 3i (R1 = C≡CH), respectively. The molecular structures of 3a-d,f-i have been determined and are reported together with the structures of the monoalkynyl complexes 2f,g,i and compared with related compounds from the literature. Complexes 3a-i and 4-6 undergo one reversible electrochemical oxidation process, which can be attributed to depopulation of an orbital with significant alkynyl ligand character. The one-electron-oxidation products [3f]?+, [3h]?+, [4]?+, and [5]?+, chosen to serve as representative examples of this family of complexes, each exhibit a series of NIR absorptions between 15000 and 5000 cm-1 which on the basis of TDDFT calculations cannot be attributed to a single, static lowest energy molecular structure. Rather, the transitions that are responsible for the absorption band envelope have varying degrees of LMCT and inter-alkynyl ligand IVCT or MLCT character that depend not only on the nature of the Rn groups but also on the ensemble of thermally populated molecular conformers in solution with various relative orientations of the metal fragment and arylethynyl moieties.

- An approach to long and unsubstituted molecular wires: Synthesis of redox-active, cationic phenylethynyl oligomers designed for self-assembled monolayers
-
Various oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s (OPEs) have been synthesized in the past, as they are considered as prototypes of molecular wires. When the oligomers are capped by a redox site at one end and a thiol at the other end, the resulting molecules can be grafted as a self-assembled monolayer on a gold electrode and fully studied by electrochemical techniques. Unfortunately, such molecules are usually poorly soluble and require the incorporation of solubilizing pendant groups. In this paper, we show that the replacement of the classically used redox group ferrocene by a cationic organometallic ruthenium complex, namely, [Ru(bipy)2(ppH)]+ (bipy, 2,2′-bipyridine; ppH, 2-(2′-yl-phenyl)pyridine), allows a concise synthesis of an unsubstituted thioacetate-capped OPE up to four repetitive units long. The positive charge does not interfere with the conventional organic chemistry used to elongate, purify, or characterize the hexafluorophosphate salts of the molecules. To our knowledge, this represents the first family of long, poorly substituted OPEs designed for self-assembly.

- Limits of delocalization in through-conjugated dinitrenes: Aromatization or bond formation?
-
(Matrix presented) Dinitrenes 4 and 5 both can form quinonoidal structures by conjugative bond formation. However, ESR spectroscopy detects a thermally populated, excited-state, triplet quinonoidal structure only for 4, with a zero-field splitting of |D/hc| = 0.0822 cm-1, |E/hc| ? 0.0 cm-1. The tendency to maintain aromaticity in the additional ring of 5 favors a dinitrene structure (with one less formal π-bond) over a quinonoidal structure. The thermally populated quintet state of 5 has a zero-field splitting of |D/hc| = 0.287 cm-1, |E/hc| ≤ 0.002 c m-1.

- Combinatorial synthesis of oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s
-
The combinatorial synthesis of oligo(phenylene ethynylene) tetramers, both in solution and on solid support, is described. These products are of interest for molecular electronics applications. An iterative sequence, coupling of aryl halides to alkynes under Sonogashira conditions, was used. Five monomers functionalized with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups were synthesized, and used to generate a library of 25 trimers in a solution-phase based process. A library of 24 tetramers was prepared by subsequent protodesilylation and coupling with the alligator clip 4-iodo-1-thioacetylbenzene. The solution-phase based sequence was successfully adapted to a higher yielding directed split-and-pool solid-phase process, with average yields of 78-86% for each step over seven steps. A triazene linker group was used to attach the starting monomer to the polymer beads. At the completion of the solid-phase-based process, traceless cleavage of trimers from the resin was achieved by sonication of the resin in 10% HCl/THF solution. The released products were then poised for the final step in the sequence, attachment of the alligator clip.

- Tetrahedral onsager crosses for solubility improvement and crystallization bypass
-
Pure organic molecules exhibiting a suitable concave rigid shape are expected to give porous glasses in the solid state. Such a feature opens new opportunities to avoid crystallization and to improve molecular solubility in relation to the high internal energy of these solid phases. To quantitatively explore the latter strategy, a series of rigid tetrahedral conjugated molecules nC and the corresponding models nR have been synthesized. Related to the present purpose, several properties have been investigated using UV absorption, steady-state fluorescence emission, differential scanning calorimetry, 1H NMR translational self-diffusion, magic angle spinning 13C NMR, and multiple-beam interferometry experiments. The present tetrahedral crosses are up to 8 orders of magnitude more soluble than the corresponding model compounds after normalization to the same molecular length. In addition, they give concentrated monomeric solutions that can be used to cover surfaces with homogeneous films whose thickness goes down to the nanometer range. Such attractive features make cross-like molecular architectures promising for many applications.

- Phenylene ethynylene pentamers for organic electroluminescence
-
An isomeric family of eighteen triisopropylsilyl-capped phenylene ethynylene pentamers (molecular formula C60H62Si2) has been prepared by using fast parallel synthesis, for organic electroluminescence. Each pentamer was grown on a polymer support of propylaminomethylated polystyrene by using a series of palladium-catalysed reactions between aryl iodides and alkynes. "Tea bag" technology was used to carry out several different reactions simultaneously in the same flask. Here I present the syntheses of the materials, compare their photoluminescence both in solution and in the solid state (amorphous thin films) and describe the incorporation of the most promising pentamer into organic electroluminescence devices.

- Synthesis and preliminary testing of molecular wires and devices
-
Presented here are several convergent synthetic routes to conjugated oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s. Some of these oligomers are free of functional groups, while others possess donor groups, acceptor groups, porphyrin interiors, and other heterocyclic interiors for various potential transmission and digital device applications. The syntheses of oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s with a variety of end groups for attachment to numerous metal probes and surfaces are presented. Some of the functionalized molecular systems showed linear, wire-like, current versus voltage (I(V)) responses, while others exhibited nonlinear I(V) curves for negative differential resistance (NDR) and molecular random access memory effects. Finally, the syntheses of functionalized oligomers are described that can form self-assembled monolayers on metallic electrodes that reduce the Schottky barriers. Information from the Schottky barrier studies can provide useful insight into molecular alligator clip optimizations for molecuar electronics.

-
Cesium and potassium fluorides promoted trialkylsilylation and tributylstannylation of terminal alkynes with trifluoromethyl-trialkylsilanes and -tributylstannane were found to give 1-silyl- and 1-tributylatannyl-alkynes in high yield. The present reactions are applicable to 1-alkynes having a wide range of functional groups such as acetal, iodo, silyl, amino, amido and carbonyl (except for aldehyde) groups.
