Supramolecular enantiomeric and structural differentiation of amino acid derivatives with achiral pillar[5]arene homologs

Complexation of achiral pillar[5]arenes with chiral amines induced strong circular dichroism (CD) signals. The CD responses differed drastically depending on the nature of the amino acid guest, and they significantly varied and part of them even inverted, upon increasing the length of the alkyl chains of the pillar[5]arenes guests. Accordingly, this tactic allowed for the unprecedented simultaneous enantiomeric and structural differentiation of α-amino esters with homologous molecular hosts.

Practical Ligand-Free Copper-Catalysed Short-Chain Alkoxylation of Unactivated Aryl Bromides

An efficient and practical short-chain alkoxylation of unactivated aryl bromides has been developed with special attention focussed on the applicability of the reaction. Sodium alkoxide is used as the nucleophile, and the corresponding alcohol as the solvent. The reaction requires neither precious metals nor organic ligands. It uses a catalytic system consisting of copper(I) bromide as a catalyst, the corresponding alkyl formate as a noncontaminating cocatalyst, and lithium chloride as an additive. A wide range of substrates and test cases highlight the synthetic utility of the approach. Considering the commercial accessibility and affordability of the feedstocks, this protocol shows promise as a new alternative for the sustainable preparation of aryl alkyl ethers.

Alkyloxy substituted organic dyes for high voltage dye-sensitized solar cell: Effect of alkyloxy chain length on open-circuit voltage

Three novel organic dyes (SB1, SB2, and SB3) containing 4-(hexyloxy)-N-(4-(hexyloxy)phenyl)-N-phenylaniline as electron donor and cyanoacrylic acid as electron acceptor bridged by alkyloxy (methyl = SB1, propyl = SB2 and hexyl = SB3) substituted p-phenylenevinylene linkers have been synthesized. Density functional theory (DFT) has employed to study electron distribution and intramolecular charge transfer. Increase in alkyl chain length in alkyloxy substituent leads to increase in open-circuit voltage (V OC), which is found to be related to the increased electron lifetime at open-circuit condition. Under AM 1.5 G 1 sun light illumination (100 mW/cm2), an optimized SB3-sensitized cell show a short-circuit photocurrent density (JSC) of 12.83 mA/cm2, an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.745 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.64, corresponding to an overall conversion efficiency (η) of 6.12%. Little degradation in η observed over 40 days is indicative of long-term stability of the SB-series dyes.
