Page/Page column 5, (2011/02/25)
A method for altering the electronic and optical properties of a chemical compound having a band gap and a framework that includes π-delocalized electrons. The method includes complexing a Lewis acid to a basic site within the framework to form a Lewis ac

(Graph Presented) A simple and effective strategy for optical band gap control is demonstrated through the use of a novel small acceptor/donor/acceptor molecule, 1, and group-13 Lewis acids. Chromophore 1 contains a dithienolesilole donor unit end-capped

The transient absorption of radical cations of a variety of substituted polysilanes is discussed quantitatively in terms of the molar extinction coefficient and oscillator strength by nanosecond pulse radiolysis. Oxygen-saturated polysilane solutions in benzene exhibit a strong transient absorption band ascribed to the polysilane radical cation. The transient species react with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) to produce TMPD radical cations. On the basis of the molar extinction coefficient of the TMPD radical cation, the molar extinction coefficients for the radical cations of polysilanes are found to increase in the range 3.3 × 104 to 2.0 × 105 M-1 cm -1 with increasing polymer segment length. The stepwise increase in the total oscillator strength with an increase in the number of phenyl rings directly bonded to the Si skeleton suggests the delocalization of the positive polaron state and/or the SOMO state over the phenyl rings, indicating the importance of phenyl rings in intermolecular hole transfer processes.

Syntheses of long-chain hydroxy-, methoxyalkylsilanes of the type (RSi(CH3)2OH, R(m)SiY(4-m) with R = C12H25, C18H37 and Y = OH, OMe, m = 1, 2, 3) (5, 6, 7a-c, 8a-c, 9a-c, 10a-c) and alkylsilyl glycopyranosides (13, 14, 15a-c, 16a-c) are reported. Hydroxyalkylsilanes (5, 6, 7a-c, 8a-c) were prepared by the hydrolysis of alkylchlorosilanes (1a-c, 2a-c, 3, 4) with NaHCO3-H2O in diethyl ether. Alkylchlorosilanes 1a-c and 2a-c react with KOMe in n-hexane to give methoxyalkylsilanes 9a-c and 10a-c, respectively. Alkylchlorosilanes 1a-c, 2a-c, 3 and 4react direct with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α/β-D-glucopyranose 12 in CH2Cl2 to give alkylsilyl glucopyranosides 13, 14, 15a-c and 16a-c, respectively.

Macrocyclic polyether "crown" compounds of the formula EQU1 WHEREIN T is a C2 -C3 alkylene, A is EQU2 R being H or C1 -C18 alkyl, R2 and R3 being independently C1 -C18 alkyl, C2 -C4 alkenyl, or C6 -C14 aryl; Q and Z are independently 1,2-arylene (or saturated derivatives thereof) or substituted 1,2-arylene (or saturated derivatives thereof); a is 0, 1, 2, or 3; b is an integer from 3 to 20; y is 1 or zero; x1, x2, x3, and x4 are integers independently selected to give a 15-60 atom ring. Such crown compounds are generally useful in the formation of complexes with ionic metal compounds, thus making it possible to use certain chemical reagents in media wherein they are normally insoluble.
