Synthesis and characterization of mono- and bi-metallic derivatives of groups 4 and 5 with 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone

The ligating properties of 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, C8H8O4 1 towards metallic Lewis acids and organometallics in low oxidation states has been investigated. The title compound reacts with Group 4 tetrahalides to giv

Design, synthesis and α-glucosidase inhibition study of novel embelin derivatives

Embelin is a naturally occurring para-benzoquinone isolated from Embelia ribes (Burm. f.) of the Myrsinaceae family. It was first discovered to have potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 4.2 μM) against α-glucosidase in this study. Then, four seri

A self-immolative spacer that enables tunable controlled release of phenols under neutral conditions

A current challenge in the area of responsive materials is the design of reagents and polymers that provide controlled release of phenols in environments that are less polar than water. In these contexts, a molecular strategy that enables release of nearl

Accelerated hole transfer across a molecular double barrier

We report on a dyad in which photoinduced hole transfer through a non-uniform molecular double barrier is more than one order of magnitude more rapid than hole transfer across a comparable uniform (rectangular) tunneling barrier.
