- Nanoribbons with Nonalternant Topology from Fusion of Polyazulene: Carbon Allotropes beyond Graphene
-
Various two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotropes with nonalternant topologies, such as pentaheptites and phagraphene, have been proposed. Predictions indicate that these metastable carbon polymorphs, which contain odd-numbered rings, possess unusual (opto)electronic properties. However, none of these materials has been achieved experimentally due to synthetic challenges. In this work, by using on-surface synthesis, nanoribbons of the nonalternant graphene allotropes, phagraphene and tetra-penta-hepta(TPH)-graphene, have been obtained by dehydrogenative C-C coupling of 2,6-polyazulene chains. These chains were formed in a preceding reaction step via on-surface Ullmann coupling of 2,6-dibromoazulene. Low-temperature scanning probe microscopies with CO-functionalized tips and density functional theory calculations have been used to elucidate their structural properties. The proposed synthesis of nonalternant carbon nanoribbons from the fusion of synthetic line-defects may pave the way for large-area preparation of novel 2D carbon allotropes.

- Azulene-moiety-based ligand for the efficient sensitization of four near-infrared luminescent lanthanide cations: Nd3+, Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb3+
-
The ML4 complexes formed by reaction between the bidentate azulene-based ligand diethyl 2-hydroxyazulene-1,3-dicarboxylate (HAz) and several lanthanide cations (Pr3+, Nd3+, Gd3+, Ho3+, Er3+, Tm3+, Yb3+, and Lu 3+) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR vibrational spectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy, Spectrophotometric titrations have revealed that four Az ligands react with one lanthanide cation to form the ML4 complex in solution. Studies of the luminescence properties of these ML4 complexes demonstrated that Az is an efficient sensitizer for four different near-infrared emitting lanthanide cations (Nd3+, Er3+, Tm3+, and Yb 3+); the resulting complexes have high quantum yield values in CH3CN. The near-infrared emission arising from Tm3+ is especially interesting for biologic imaging and bioanalytical applications since biological systems have minimal interaction with photons at this wavelength. Hydration numbers, representing the number of water molecules bound to the lanthanide cations, were obtained through luminescence lifetime measurements and indicated that no molecules of water/solvent are bound to the lanthanide cation in the ML4 complex in solution. The four coordinated ligands protect well the central luminescent lanthanide cation against non-radiative deactivation from solvent molecules.

- Synthesis and Crystal Packing of trans-Bis(2-aminotroponato)palladium(II) Complexes Bearing Linear Alkyl Chains - Hard Lamellar Structures Self-Locked by Cross-Shaped Molecular Units
-
The synthesis, structure, and three-dimensional lamellar array of a series of trans-bis(2-aminotroponato-κN,κO)palladium(II) complexes bearing linear alkyl chains (1a: n = 5; 1b: n = 8; 1c: n = 14; 1d: n = 16; 1e: n = 18, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the chain) attached to trans nitrogen donor atoms are described. The trans-coordination of the ligands, the cross-shaped molecular structures, and the crystal packing of 1b and 1c have been unequivocally established from single-crystal XRD studies. Highly regulated multilayered lamellar structures are observed for 1b and 1c, where every lamellar layer in the crystallographic ab plane, formed by π-stacking interactions of metal cores and van der Waals interactions between alkyl chains, is laminated alternately on the c axis with an orthogonal lamellar array of the identical unit. Powder XRD analysis showed that 1b-1e exhibit diffraction peaks attributed to periodic (n00) reflections of a typical lamellar structure. A linear correlation between the d-spacing and chain lengths in these compounds indicates that they form the same type of three-dimensional layer-by-layer structure of lamellar aggregates. The correlation between the cross-shaped molecular structures of 1b-1e and the dimensionality of molecular constraint in the crystal packing is discussed by comparison with those of rod-shaped analogues that exhibit high liquid crystallinity.

- Electrophilic catalysis in nucleophilic substitution reactions in ionic liquids
-
2-Chlorotropone was obtained from 2-tosyloxytropone in 88% yield in the recyclable ionic medium BMIMBF4/LiCl. That Li+ acts as a Lewis acid was proven by the lack of reactivity of 2-tosyloxytropone, under the above conditions, on replacing LiCl with NaCl or BMIMCl, or using BMIMCl alone, or a BMIMBF4/MeCN/KCl mixture. 2-Bromo- and 2-iodotropone were obtained along similar lines from LiBr or LiI, respectively, whereas LiF proved unreactive.

- Azulene methacrylate polymers: Synthesis, electronic properties, and solar cell fabrication
-
We report the synthesis of novel azulene-substituted methacrylate polymers by free radical polymerization, in which the azulene moieties represent hydrophobic dipoles strung pendant to the polymer backbone and impart unique electronic properties to the polymers. Tunable optoelectronic properties were realized by adjusting the azulene density, ranging from homopolymers (having one azulene group per repeat unit) to copolymers in which the azulene density was diluted with other pendant groups. Treating these polymers with organic acids revealed optical and excitonic behavior that depended critically on the azulene density along the polymer chain. Copolymers of azulene with zwitterionic methacrylates proved useful as cathode modification layers in bulk-heterojunction solar cells, where the relative azulene content affected the device metrics and the power conversion efficiency reached 7.9%.

- A Novel Type of Hydrogen Bond: Intramolecular S-H***S-Bridges in Dithiotropolone
-
In dithiotropolone (2-mercaptocycloheptatrienethione) a novel type of S-H***S hydrogen bond is observed from spectroscopic results and from a single crystal X-ray structure analysis.Intramolecular S-H***S bonds with a very short S***S separation of 3.13 Angstroem and with d(S***H) = 2.10 Angstroem, (S-H***S) = 136 deg are formed, the S-H stretching frequency of 2450 cm-1 being lowered by about 120 cm-1 from the value for the free SH group.A different relationship between S***S bridge bond distances and S-H stretching frequencies applies as compared to the inter molecular bridges of thiophosphinic and thiocarbonic acids.Crystalline dithiotropolone is monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 8, with a = 8.352(2), b = 13.806(4), c = 12.371(2) Angstroem, β = 103.46(2) deg. - Keywords: Hydrogen Bond, Sulfur, Dithiotropolone, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra
