- High CO2-capture ability of a porous organic polymer bifunctionalized with carboxy and triazole groups
-
A new porous organic polymer, SNU-C1, incorporating two different CO 2-attracting groups, namely, carboxy and triazole groups, has been synthesized. By activating SNU-C1 with two different methods, vacuum drying and supercritical-CO2 treatment, the guest-free phases, SNU-C1-va and SNU-C1-sca, respectively, were obtained. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas of SNU-C1-va and SNU-C1-sca are 595 and 830 m2g-1, respectively, as estimated by the N2-adsorption isotherms at 77 K. At 298 K and 1 atm, SNU-C1-va and SNU-C1-sca show high CO2 uptakes, 2.31 mmol g-1 and 3.14 mmol g-1, respectively, the high level being due to the presence of abundant polar groups (carboxy and triazole) exposed on the pore surfaces. Five separation parameters for flue gas and landfill gas in vacuum-swing adsorption were calculated from single-component gas-sorption isotherms by using the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST). The data reveal excellent CO2-separation abilities of SNU-C1-va and SNU-C1-sca, namely high CO2-uptake capacity, high selectivity, and high regenerability. The gas-cycling experiments for the materials and the water-treated samples, experiments that involved treating the samples with a CO2-N2 gas mixture (15:85, v/v) followed by a pure N 2 purge, further verified the high regenerability and water stability. The results suggest that these materials have great potential applications in CO2 separation.

- Crystals and aggregates of a molecular tetrarotor with multiple trityl embraces derived from tetraphenyladamantane
-
Samples of tetrakis-1,3,5,7-(4′-(3″,3″,3″- triphenylpropynyl)-phenylene)adamantane and its trityl-deuterated isotopologue were synthesized and their crystallization and packing properties were analyzed within the context of formation of 4- or 6-fold phenyl embraces. The tetrahedral shape of these molecules with four propeller-like triphenylmethyl moieties generates several edge-to-face intermolecular interactions in the solid state that result in the formation of infinite chains of molecules that are tightly interlocked. The formation of analogous edge-to-face intermolecular interactions leading to aggregation in solution was also suggested by NMR experiments carried out in different solvents as a function of concentration. The formation of interdigitated chains was also manifested in fibrils and thin needles, which were documented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed the presence of multiple 4-fold phenyl embraces and edge-to-face interactions as the leading motifs behind the formation of tightly interlocked molecular chains.

- Preparation of a hyperbranched porous polymer and its sensing performance for nitroaromatics
-
A hyperbranched porous polymer P based on adamantane and pyrene was synthesized through the Sonogashira coupling reaction. The three-dimensional rigid molecular skeleton of adamantane makes polymer P porous. Compound M, which acts as the block moiety between two adamantane groups in polymer P, was also synthesized for the control experiment. Compared with M, the characteristics of P changed remarkably with it exhibiting different emission behaviors and performances for the detection of DNT. In saturated DNT vapor, the quenching efficiency (ηEP) of film P (82%) was remarkably superior compared with that of film M (22%). In addition, a series of films with different thicknesses and different amounts of polymer P were prepared. Results showed that the quenching efficiencies did not change with an increase in the film thickness.

- Synthesis of rigid oligofluorene stars
-
In this paper we present the synthesis of a tetrahedral oligofluorene-functionalized adamantane, via an iterative synthetic approach, using Suzuki coupling methodology. Tetraphenyladamantane with two fluorene units on each arm were successfully synthesized. These tetrahedral oligofluorene adamantane cores exhibited good optical and thermal properties. One problem in this synthesis of these materials was that the homocoupling of the core became more prevalent as the molecular size increased. This is possibly a common defect in many controlled synthesis of large polyarenes. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Nanoporous amide networks based on tetraphenyladamantane for selective CO2 capture
-
Reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and CO2 separation from post-combustion flue gases are among the imperative issues in the spotlight at present. Hence, it is highly desirable to develop efficient adsorbents for mitigating climate change with possible energy savings. Here, we report the design of a facile one pot catalyst-free synthetic protocol for the generation of three different nitrogen rich nanoporous amide networks (NANs) based on tetraphenyladamantane. Besides the porous architecture, CO2 capturing potential and high thermal stability, these NANs possess notable CO2/N2 selectivity with reasonable retention while increasing the temperature from 273 K to 298 K. The quantum chemical calculations also suggest that CO2 interacts mainly in the region of polar amide groups (-CONH-) present in NANs and this interaction is much stronger than that with N2 thus leading to better selectivity and affirming them as promising contenders for efficient gas separation.

- Design of solvatomorphic structures based on a polyboronated tetraphenyladamantane molecular tecton
-
A series of solvatomorphic structures of tetrakis(4-dihydroxyborylphenyl)adamantane, 1, have been prepared and analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Tetraboronated adamantane represents a valuable scaffold for the formation of various supramolecular structures in the solid state. Through three-component crystallizations of 1 in methanol in the presence of a secondary ingredient (acetone, DMSO, DMF, 1,4-dioxane, urea), seven crystal structures were obtained. In turn, crystallization from a methanol-acetonitrile mixture produced large transparent needles, but the material proved amorphous and solely composed of 1 underlying the pivotal role of solvent molecules in the stabilization of the crystal structure. Six out of the seven obtained structures crystallize in tetragonal space groups of symmetry in accordance with the general molecular symmetry of 1. The most common crystal motif constitutes H-bonded tetramers, where interactions between boronic groups are mediated by solvent molecules. Alternatively, linear discrete H-bonded motifs composed of four molecules of 1 and four molecules of DMF were also observed. According to expectation, the inclusion of 1,4-dioxane favors the formation of 1D linear chains, although the overall H-bonding pattern is quite complex due to the presence of water molecules. Surprisingly, the crystallization of 1 in wet methanol solution resulted in the formation of hemi-ester species containing four B(OMe)(OH) groups and incorporating a water molecule. The same process was observed when crystallization was performed in a methanol-urea mixture. The role of the solvent molecules is additionally discussed in the context of performed DFT calculations. The thermogravimetric analysis shows that solvent evaporation is accompanied by the dehydration of boronic groups presumably leading to the formation of a covalently bonded polymeric material, whose stability is predefined by the initial structure of 1.

- Tetrahedral rigid core antenna chromophores bearing bay-substituted perylenediimides
-
Two new representative methane- and adamantane-centered 'antenna' tetramers bearing bay-substituted π-conjugated phenylethynyl-perylenediimides (PDICCPh) as chromophoric subunits, tetrakis-[1-(4-ethynylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(1-hexylheptyl)-perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide]-methane (1) and tetrakis-1,3,5,7-[1-(4-ethynylphenyl)-N,N′-bis(1-hexylheptyl)-perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide]-adamantane (2), have been synthesized and their structural aspects have been thoroughly investigated by NMR spectroscopy. These PDI tetramers (1 and 2) represent the first successful example of incorporating the bay-substituted phenylethynyl-perylenediimides into the large rigid core tetrahedral frameworks. In these PDI tetramers, dynamic NMR experiments revealed the existence of perylene-centered conformational dynamic equilibrium (ΔG≠=15-17 kcal/mol), the primary cause of the observed spectral broadening in conventional 1H NMR spectra (295 K). In addition, PDI tetramers 1 and 2 were found to possess exceptional (photo)chemical stability, and their corresponding photophysical properties (εmax~180,000; τFL=6.9 ns; ΦFL~60%) make them viable candidates for various photonic applications and are in good agreement with other related multichromophoric PDI-based systems.

- Photoswitching tripodal single molecular tip for noncontact AFM measurements: Synthesis, immobilization, and reversible configurational change on gold surface
-
Tripodal molecules consisting of a tetrasubstituted adamantane with three phenylacetylene legs and a reversibly photoswitching apex were designed as "single molecular tips" for both chemical and topographical characterization of the substrate surface. By covalent attachment onto gold-coated AFM tips through three S-Au bonds, these rigid tripodal molecules are expected to act as sharp, robust, and stationary molecular tips whose configuration can be reversibly changed upon irradiation with UV or visible light. In this report, the full account of the syntheses of two photoswitching tripodal molecular tips, their immobilization onto Au(111) surfaces, and the detection of photoinduced configurational change on Au(111) surface by SPM measurements are documented.

- Four-fold click reactions: Generation of tetrahedral methane- and adamantane-based building blocks for higher-order molecular assemblies
-
A modular concept for the generation of achiral and chiral non-racemic tetrahedral tectons from common precursors was developed. The tectons presented here are based on tetraphenylmethane or 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyladamantane core structures. They are obtained through high-yielding four-fold click reactions, using either the tetraazido or the tetraalkyne precursors. In most cases, the tetratriazoles are obtained as pure products after simple washing with water and methanol. The side chains of the tectons prepared include a self-complementary DNA dimer, obtained from a 3′-azidonucleoside and a phosphoramidite. The concept allows for a variation of the "sticky ends", leading to tecton or ligand libraries.

- Direct cyanation of heteroaromatic compounds mediated by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents: In situ generation of PhI(III)-CN species and their cyano transfer
-
Hypervalent iodine(III) reagents mediate the direct cyanating reaction of a wide range of electron-rich heteroaromatic compounds such as pyrroles 1, thiophenes 3, and indoles 5 under mild conditions (ambient temperature), without the need for any prefunctionalization. Commercially available trimethylsilylcyanide is usable as a stable and effective cyanide source, and the reaction proceeds in a homogeneous system. The N-substituent of pyrroles is crucial to avoid the undesired oxidative bipyrrole coupling process, and thus a cyano group was introduced selectively at the 2-position of N-tosylpyrroles 1 in good yields using the combination of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), TMSCN, and BF3·Et2O at room temperature. In the reaction mechanism, cation radical intermediates of heteroaromatic compounds are involved as a result of single electron oxidation, and the key to successful transformations seems to depend on the oxidation potential of the substrates used. Thus, the reaction was also successfully extended to other heteroaromatic compounds having oxidation potentials similar to that of N-tosylpyrroles such as thiophenes 3 and indoles 5. However, regioisomeric mixtures of the products derived from the reaction at the 2- and 3-positions were obtained in the case of N-tosylindole 5a. Further investigation performed in our laboratory provided insights into the real active iodine(III) species during the reaction; the reaction is induced by an active hypervalent iodine(III) species having a cyano ligand in situ generated by ligand exchange reaction at the iodine(III) center between trifluoroacetoxy group in PIFA and TMSCN, and effective cyanide introduction into heteroaromatic compounds is achieved by means of the high cyano transfer ability of the hypervalent iodine(III)-cyano intermediates. In fact, the reaction of N-tosylpyrrole 1a with a hypervalent iodine(III)-cyano compound (e.g., (dicyano)iodobenzene 8), in the absence of TMSCN, took place to afford the 2-cyanated product 2a in good yield, and an effective preparation of the intermediates is of importance for successful transformation. 1,3,5,7-Tetrakis[4-{bis(trifluoroacetoxy)-iodo}phenyl]adamantane 12, a recyclable hypervalent iodine(III) reagent, was also comparable in the cyanating reactions as a valuable alternative to PIFA, affording a high yield of the heteroaromatic cyanide by facilitating isolation of the cyanated products with a simple workup. Accordingly, after preparing the active hypervalent iodine(III)-CN species by premixing of a recyclable reagent 12, TMSCN, and BF3· Et2U for 30 min in dichloromethane, reaction of a variety of pyrroles 1 and thiophenes 3 provided the desired cyanated products 2 and 4 in high yields. The iodine compound 13, recovered by filtration after replacement of the reaction solvent to MeOH, could be reused without any loss of activity (the oxidant 12 can be obtained nearly quantitatively by reoxidation of 13 using m-CPBA).
