A photochemical C–N coupling of aryl halides with nitroarenes is demonstrated for the first time. Catalyzed by a NiII complex in the absence of any external photosensitizer, readily available nitroarenes undergo coupling with a variety of aryl halides, providing a step-economic extension to the widely used Buchwald–Hartwig C–N coupling reaction. The method tolerates coupling partners with steric-congestion and functional groups sensitive to bases and nucleophiles. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via the addition of an aryl radical, generated from a NiI/NiIII cycle, to a nitrosoarene intermediate.

The generation of different thermodynamically (meta)stable states is crucial for the development of smart solid-state luminescent materials. However, the design of luminophores with tunable aggregation states is remaining a grand challenge. Herein, we present a family of mechanochromic luminophores with tunable metastable states, based on the dynamically controllable π–π stacking of the flexible π-conjugated structure of 2,5-diarylamino-terephthalates in the solid state. The experimental data revealed that both the kinetically controlled metastable state and thermodynamic controlled stable state can be generated via tuning the intermolecular interactions such as π–π stacking and hydrogen bonds. As a result, the highly sensitive mechano-stimuli response of these luminophores was successfully achieved.

Two series of benzo(thia)xazoles 1–2 and one series of boron difluoride complexes 2-BF2 derived from benzothiazoles 2 were reported, and their mesomorphic and optical properties were investigated. The crystal and molecular structures of compound 2 and 2-BF2 (all n = 8) were determined by means of X?ray structural analysis, and both crystallize in the triclinic P-1 and monoclinic P21/c. The geometry at boron center is perfectly tetrahedral, and the overall molecular shapes are considered as rod?shape. Both benzo(thia)xazoles 1 and 2 exhibited N or/and SmC phase, and boron complexes 2-BF2 formed N or/and SmC phase. Benzothiazoles 2 showed a much wider temperature range of mesophase than those of benzoxazoles 1, which were attributed to the better polarization by sulfur atom incorporated. Boron complexes 2-BF2 (n = 10, 12) emitted a yellow?to?green emission at λmax = 569–571 nm in CH2Cl2. This is the first mesogenic BF2 complexes derived from benzothiazoles.

New imine based rod-like compounds, composed of three-benzene-ring molecular core linked with azomethine as well as ester groups and terminated with (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyloxy chiral unit at one side have been synthesized. The other terminal position has been varied by using n-octyloxy/decyloxy/dodecyloxy groups to reveal chain length effect on mesophase behavior. The liquid crystalline properties of the new compounds have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and electro-optic studies. The novel chiral calamitics derived from Schiff base or salicylaldimine-core show a chiral polymorphism comprising of blue phase and chiral nematic as well as smectics such as chiral tilted smectic and unidentified smectic mesophase.

A photoresponsive system where structure formation is coupled to catalytic activity is presented. The observed catalytic activity is reliant on intermolecular cooperative effects that are present when amphiphiles assemble into vesicular structures. Photoresponsive units within the amphiphilic pre-catalysts allow for switching between assembled and disassembled states, thereby modulating the catalytic activity. The ability to reversibly form cooperative catalysts within a dynamic self-assembled system represents a conceptually new tool for the design of complex artificial systems in water.

Trimesic amide molecules, which contain simple alkyl chains in their periphery, exhibit interesting anion-transport functions. The most active and highly selective channel TA12 efficiently transports ClO4? anions across membranes, with other anions conducted in the order of I? > NO3? > Br? > Cl?.

Gaining control over supramolecular polymerization mechanisms is of high fundamental interest to understand self-assembly and self-organization processes at the nanoscale. It is also expected to significantly impact the design and improve the efficiency of advanced materials and devices. Up to now, supramolecular polymerization has been shown to take place from unimers in solution, mainly by variations of temperature or of concentration. Reported here is that supramolecular nucleation-growth of triarylamine monomers can be triggered by electrochemistry in various solvents. The involved mechanism offers new opportunities to precisely address in space and time the nucleation of supramolecular polymers at an electrode. To illustrate the potential of this methodology, supramolecular nanowires are grown an oriented over several tens of micrometers between different types of commercially available electrodes submitted to a single DC electric field, reaching a precision unprecedented in the literature.

Three new families of borondifluoride complexes 1a–c derived from salicylideneamines 2a and β-enaminoketonates 2b–c were reported, and their mesomorphic and optical properties were also investigated. One single crystal and molecular structure of nonmesogenic BF2 complex 1c (n = 10) was resolved and the geometry of the central boron atom was tetrahedron. A larger dihedral angle of 81.3° between the two phenyl rings observed in crystal lattice was attributed to the lack of liquid crystallinity. Boron complexes 1a formed monotropic SmA phases, while boron complexes 1b exhibited enantiotropic SmC mesophases. The optical property of the boron complexes was dependent on their molecular structures, and they emitted a blue–to–green emission at λmax = 476–541 nm in the solution and 488–550 nm in the solid state. This is the first group of mesogenic BF2 complexes with the Schiff bases derived from respective salicylideneamines and β-enaminoketones.

A series of novel asymmetric azo reagents, 1-(tert-butyl)-2-(4-substituted benzyl) azodicarboxylate, were prepared. The synthetic process has the advantage of simpleness, easy operation, mild reaction condition and high yield. The 1-(tert-butyl)-2-(4-chlorobenzyl) azodicarboxylate (tBCAD) was selected for its stability and convenience to handle, and its precursor can be recycled by recrystallization with toluene. The tBCAD and DIAD were applied to a wide variety of Mitsunobu reactions. The experimental results showed that the performance of tBCAD in Mitsunobu reaction was comparable to that of DIAD, while the stability of tBCAD was much better than DIAD. Thus, tBCAD can be a novel, stable, effective azo-reagent for the Mitsunobu reaction.
