Azides and acetylenes are bio-orthogonal functional groups that can be readily coupled using copper(I)- or ruthenium(II)- catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Using non-fluorescent aromatic azides and aromatic acetylenes, covering a range of electron rich and poor building blocks, the Huisgen cycloaddition afford 1,4-disubstituted or 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Using a combinatorial approach by running reaction in parallel in polypropylene 96-well plates we discovered several new fluorescent 1,2,3-triazoles scaffolds. These compounds show diverse interactions with biomolecules that could find applications in biology in, for example, fluorescence microscopy or biomolecule quantification.

Organozinc reagents are among the most commonly used organometallic reagents in modern synthetic chemistry, and multifunctionalized organozinc reagents can be synthesized from structurally simple, readily available ones by means of alkyne carbozincation. However, this method suffers from poor tolerance for terminal alkynes, and transformation of the newly introduced organic groups is difficult, which limits its applications. Herein, we report a method for vinylzincation of terminal alkynes catalyzed by newly developed iron catalysts bearing 1,10-phenanthroline-imine ligands. This method provides efficient access to novel organozinc reagents with a diverse array of structures and functional groups from readily available vinylzinc reagents and terminal alkynes. The method features excellent functional group tolerance (tolerated functional groups include amino, amide, cyano, ester, hydroxyl, sulfonyl, acetal, phosphono, pyridyl), a good substrate scope (suitable terminal alkynes include aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl acetylenes bearing various functional groups), and high chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity. The method could significantly improve the synthetic efficiency of various important bioactive molecules, including vitamin A. Mechanistic studies indicate that the new iron-1,10-phenanthroline-imine catalysts developed in this study have an extremely crowded reaction pocket, which promotes efficient transfer of the vinyl group to the alkynes, disfavors substitution reactions between the zinc reagent and the terminal C–H bond of the alkynes, and prevents the further reactions of the products. Our findings show that iron catalysts can be superior to other metal catalysts in terms of activity, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity when suitable ligands are used.
Donor-acceptor substituted benzo-, naphtho- and phenanthro-fused norbornadienes

The photochromic norbornadiene/quadricyclane (NBD/QC) couple has found interest as a molecular solar thermal energy (MOST) system for storage of solar energy. To increase the energy difference between the two isomers, we present here the synthesis of a selection of benzo-fused NBD derivatives that contain an aromatic unit, benzene, naphthalene or phenanthrene, fused to one of the NBD double bonds, while the carbon atoms of the other double bond are functionalized with donor and acceptor groups. The synthesis protocols involve functionalization of benzo-fused NBDs with bromo/chloro substituents followed by a subjection of these intermediates to a cyanation reaction (introducing a cyano acceptor group) followed by a Sonogashira coupling (introducing an arylethynyl donor group, -C≡CC6H4NMe2 or -C≡CC6H4OMe). While the derivatives have good absorption properties in the visible region (redshifted relative to parent system) in the context of MOST applications, they lack the ability to undergo NBD-to-QC photoisomerization, even in the presence of a photosensitizer. It seems that loss of aromaticity of the fused aromatics is too significant to allow photoisomerization to occur. The concept of destroying aromaticity of a neighboring moiety as a way to enhance the energy density of the NBD/QC couple thus needs further structural modifications, in the quest for optimum MOST systems.
Are alkynyl spacers in ancillary ligands in heteroleptic bis(diimine)copper(I) dyes beneficial for dye performance in dye-sensitized solar cells?

The syntheses of 4,40-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (1), 4,40-bis(4-dimethylaminophenylethynyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (2), 4,40-bis(4-diphenylaminophenyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (3), and 4,40-bis(4-diphenylaminophenylethynyl)-6,60-dimethyl-2,20-bipyridine (4) are reported along with the preparations and characterisations of their homoleptic copper(I) complexes [CuL2][PF6] (L = 1-4). The solution absorption spectra of the complexes exhibit ligand-centred absorptions in addition to absorptions in the visible region assigned to a combination of intra-ligand and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer. Heteroleptic [Cu(5)(Lancillary)]+ dyes in which 5 is the anchoring ligand ((6,60-dimethyl-[2,20-bipyridine]-4,40-diyl)bis(4,1-phenylene))bis(phosphonic acid) and Lancillary = 1-4 have been assembled on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-TiO2 electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Performance parameters and external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra of the DSCs (four fully-masked cells for each dye) reveal that the best performing dyes are [Cu(5)(1)]+ and [Cu(5)(3)]+. The alkynyl spacers are not beneficial, leading to a decrease in the short-circuit current density (JSC), confirmed by lower values of EQEmax. Addition of a co-absorbent (n-decylphosphonic acid) to [Cu(5)(1)]+ lead to no significant enhancement of performance for DSCs sensitized with [Cu(5)(1)]+. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been used to investigate the interfaces in DSCs; the analysis shows that more favourable electron injection into TiO2 is observed for sensitizers without the alkynyl spacer and confirms higher JSC values for [Cu(5)(1)]+,.

The nucleophilic Fe-complex Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] (TBA[Fe]) catalyzes the cyclopropanation of enynes to substituted propargyl cyclopropanes using diazoesters as carbene surrogates. The catalyst can be activated either thermally in the presence of catalytic amounts of 4-nitroanisole or under photochemical conditions. Cyclopropanation occurs selectively at the enyne moiety; alternative olefinic moieties remain intact.

The intermolecular deacylative coupling of unstrained ynones via C-C bond activation was accomplished by a CuCl-bpy system under mild reaction conditions. This protocol features facile cleavage of the C-C bond at room temperature, broad substrate scope, and efficient construction of important symmetric and unsymmetrical 1,3-diyne adducts through homo or cross coupling of ynones, respectively. The preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that an acyl copper(III) complex is likely involved in this process.
