Non-phase-transition luminescence mechanochromism of a copper(I) coordination polymer

A copper(I) coordination polymer, [Cu2I2L2]n (CP 1), shows luminescence mechanochromism with a color change from greenish-blue to yellow upon the application of pressure. Powder X-ray diffraction and Raman studies reveal that the changes in the bond lengths in crystalline CP 1 are the main cause of luminescence mechanochromism. The luminescence mechanochromic process of CP 1 preserves its crystallinity with a small lattice distortion, despite very high pressure, and it is a non-phase-transition process. After the addition of several drops of acetonitrile to the ground and compressed samples, the original greenish-blue emissive and crystalline states are restored. Therefore, the luminescence color conversion processes are fully reversible.

Silica-promoted facile synthesis of thioesters and thioethers: A highly efficient, reusable and environmentally safe solid support

An efficient, mild and rapid procedure for the acylation and alkylation of aromatic and aliphatic thiols mediated on a silica gel surface at room temperature is described. The protocol allows the protection of thiols under neutral heterogeneous conditions without requiring any bases or Lewis acids, and the silica gel used as the promoter can be recycled for several runs without any loss of activity.

The epoxy-Ramberg-Baecklund reaction (ERBR): A sulfone-based method for the synthesis of allylic alcohols

The epoxy-Ramberg-Baecklund reaction (ERBR) is outlined, in which α,β-epoxy sulfones are converted into a range of mono-, di- and tri-substituted allylic alcohols, on treatment with base. Modification of this method enabled the preparation of enantio-enriched allylic alcohols following the diastereoselective epoxidation of enantio-enriched vinyl sulfones that were accessed efficiently from the chiral pool. The scope, optimisation and limitations of the ERBR as a method for the preparation of allylic alcohols are discussed. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2006.
