Preparation, optical and electrochemical properties, and molecular orbital calculations of tetraazaporphyrinato ruthenium (II) bis(4-methylpyridine) fused with one to four diphenylthiophene units

2,5-Diphenyl-3,4-dicyanothiophene (1) and phthalonitrile (2) were mixed and treated with ruthenium (III) trichloride, 4-methylpyridine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in 2-ethoxyethanol at 135 °C, to produce low-symmetrical tetraazaporphyrins (TAPs) (3), (4), (5), and (6) with one to three thiophene rings. Two thiophene-annelated tetraazaporphyrins were isolated as opposite and adjacent isomers 4 and 5. The structure of 3 was determined by X-ray crystallography, showing that the thiophene ring linked at the 3,4-positions on the tetraazaporphyrin scaffold deviates from the mean plane of the four central pyrrole nitrogen atoms (N1-N3-N5-N7). Optical and electrochemical properties of the products were examined by UV-vis and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy, together with cyclic voltammetry. In the 1H NMR spectra, the signals of 4-methylpyridine coordinating to the central ruthenium atom appeared at a higher magnetic field than those of uncoordinated 4-methylpyridine itself due to the shielding effect of the TAP ring. Increasing the number of fused thiophene rings resulted in 1) lower magnetic field shifts of the signals of axially coordinated 4-methylpyridine in the 1H NMR spectra, 2) lower energy shifts of the Q band absorption in the UV-vis spectra, and 3) decreasing (cathodic shift) of the first oxidation potentials. The structures of simplified model compounds were optimized using the DFT method with the Gaussian 09 program at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level for the Ru atom and the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level for the C, H, N, and S atoms. The optimized structures were utilized to calculate the NMR shielding constants, the HOMO and LUMO orbital energies, and the electronic absorption spectra.

The tetramerization reaction of 2,5-diphenyl-3,4-dicyanothiophene (2) proceeded on treatment with ruthenium(III) trichloride, DBU, and 4-methylpyridine in 2-ethoxyethanol at 135 °C to give bis(4-methylpyridine) [1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15-octaphenyltetra(3,4-thie

THE CONDUCTIVE SULFUR/CARBON MIXTURE CATHODE. AN EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF THIOPHENES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS FROM ACETYLENES

The electroreduction of Michael acceptors such as acetylenic derivatives at a compact sulfur-carbon electrode in aprotic media affords thioorganic compounds, mainly thiophenes, in fairly high yields.Their formation is discussed as a function of the electronic effect of the substituents on the acetylenic triple bond.
