Importance of C(2) symmetry for the device performance of a newly synthesized family of fused-ring thiophenes.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the relationship between molecular structure and field-effect hole mobility in a family of fused-ring polythiophene copolymers that we designed recently. The results suggest that a repeat unit that possesses a C(2) axis perpendicular to the conjugation plane is important to achieve a high-mobility. Our finding is supported by a review of literature data: Many polymer semiconductors showing a hole or electron mobility >0.1 cm(2)/V.s feature a repeat unit with C(2) symmetry; however exceptions have been found from some push - pull polymer structures.

Noncovalently fused-ring electron acceptors with near-infrared absorption for high-performance organic solar cells.

Project description:Non-fullerene fused-ring electron acceptors boost the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells, but they suffer from high synthetic cost and low yield. Here, we show a series of low-cost noncovalently fused-ring electron acceptors, which consist of a ladder-like core locked by noncovalent sulfur-oxygen interactions and flanked by two dicyanoindanone electron-withdrawing groups. Compared with that of similar but unfused acceptor, the presence of ladder-like structure markedly broadens the absorption to the near-infrared region. In addition, the use of intramolecular noncovalent interactions avoids the tedious synthesis of covalently fused-ring structures and markedly lowers the synthetic cost. The optimized solar cells displayed an outstanding efficiency of 13.24%. More importantly, solar cells based on these acceptors demonstrate very low non-radiative energy losses. This research demonstrates that low-cost noncovalently fused-ring electron acceptors are promising to achieve high-efficiency organic solar cells.

Ring-opening and ring-expansion reactions of carborane-fused borirane.

Project description:Though the reaction chemistry of three-membered ring molecules such as cyclopropanes and their heteroatom-containing analogues has been extensively studied, the chemical properties of their boron analogues, boriranes, are little known thus far. This work describes the diverse reactivity patterns of carborane-fused borirane 2. This borirane engages in ring-opening reactions with different types of Lewis acids, such as BBr3, GeCl2, GaCl3, BH3(SMe2) and HBpin, affording a series of ring-opening products, in which M-X or B-H bonds add across the B-C(cage) bond of the three-membered ring in 2. On the other hand, borirane 2 can undergo ring-expansion reactions with unsaturated molecules such as PhCHO, CO2 and PhCN to give ring-expansion products, five-membered boracycles, via a concerted reaction mechanism as supported by DFT calculations. The results of this work not only enrich the reaction chemistry of boriranes, but also offer new routes to boron-containing compounds and heterocycles.

Quantitative analysis of newly synthesized proteins.

Project description:Measuring proteome response to perturbations is critical for understanding the underlying mechanisms involved. Traditional quantitative proteomic methods are limited by the large numbers of proteins in the proteome and the mass spectrometer's dynamic range. A previous method uses the biorthogonal reagent azidohomoalanine (AHA), a methionine analog, for labeling, enrichment and detection of newly synthesized proteins (NSPs). Newly synthesized AHA proteins can be coupled to biotin via CuAAC-mediated click chemistry and enriched using avidin-based affinity purification. The combination of AHA-mediated NSP labeling with metabolic stable isotope labeling allows quantitation of low-abundant, newly secreted proteins by mass spectrometry (MS). However, the resulting multiplicity of labeling complicates NSP analysis. We developed a new NSP quantification strategy, called HILAQ (heavy isotope-labeled azidohomoalanine quantification), that uses a heavy isotope-labeled AHA molecule to enable NSP labeling, enrichment, identification and quantification. In addition, the AHA-peptide enrichment used in HILAQ improves both the identification and quantification of NSPs over AHA-protein enrichment. Here, we provide a description of the HILAQ method that includes procedures for (i) pulse-labeling and harvesting NSPs; (ii) addition of biotin by click reaction; (iii) protein precipitation; (iv) protein digestion; (v) enrichment of AHA-biotin peptides by NeutrAvidin beads and four-step elution; (vi) MS analysis; and (vii) data analysis for the identification and quantification of NSPs by ProLuCID and pQuant. We demonstrate our HILAQ approach by identifying NSPs from cell cultures, but we anticipate that it can be adapted for applications in animal models. The whole protocol takes ~6 d to complete.

Synthesis and Characterization of Fused-Ring Iridapyrroles.

Project description:Treatment of aromatic nitriles with methyllithium produces N-lithiated imine reagents which, when reacted with (?(2)-cyclooctene)(Cl)Ir(PMe(3))(3), generate fused iridaazacycles via ortho-metallation. Mono-protonation of these iridaazacycles produces fused iridapyrrole derivatives, while di-protonation leads to several different pathways.

A green metal-free fused-ring initiating substance.

Project description:Over the past century, the search for lead-free, environmentally friendly initiating substances has been a highly challenging task in the field of energetic materials. Here, an organic primary explosive featuring a fused-ring structure, 6-nitro-7-azido-pyrazol[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine-2-oxide, was designed and synthesized through a facile two-step reaction from commercially available reagents. This organic initiating substance meets nearly all of the stringent criteria of environmentally friendly primary explosives for commercial applications: it is free of toxic metals and perchlorate, has a high density, high priming ability, unusual sensitivities towards non-explosive stimuli, excellent environmental resistance, decent thermal stability, high detonation performance, satisfactory flowability and pressure durability, and is low-cost and easy to scale-up. These combined properties and performance measures surpass the current and widely used organic primary explosive, DDNP. The fused-ring organic primary explosive reported herein may find real-world application as an initiating explosive device in the near future.

Synthesis of fused-ring and attached-ring bis-tetrahydrofurans via Pd-catalyzed carboetherification.

Project description:A five step-synthesis of fused bis-tetrahydrofurans and attached bis-tetrahydrofurans from butadiene diepoxide is described. Two sequential Pd-catalyzed carboetherification reactions between protected 1,2-diols and aryl/alkenyl bromides, each of which form both a C-O bond and a C-C bond, are used to generate the heterocyclic rings with >20:1 dr. Installation of different R(1) and R(2) groups is achieved in a straightforward fashion through use of different aryl or alkenyl bromide coupling partners.

Copper-catalyzed intramolecular alkene carboetherification: synthesis of fused-ring and bridged-ring tetrahydrofurans.

Project description:Fused-ring and bridged-ring tetrahydrofuran scaffolds are found in a number of natural products and biologically active compounds. A new copper-catalyzed intramolecular carboetherification of alkenes for the synthesis of bicyclic tetrahydrofurans is reported herein. The reaction involves Cu-catalyzed intramolecular addition of alcohols to unactivated alkenes and subsequent aryl C-H functionalization provides the C-C bond. Mechanistic studies indicate a primary carbon radical intermediate is involved and radical addition to the aryl ring is the likely C-C bond-forming mechanism. Preliminary catalytic enantioselective reactions are promising (up to 75% ee) and provide evidence that copper is involved in the alkene addition step, likely through a cis-oxycupration mechanism. Catalytic enantioselective alkene carboetherification reactions are rare and future development of this new method into a highly enantioselective process is promising. During the course of the mechanistic studies a protocol for alkene hydroetherification was also developed.

Vulnerability of newly synthesized proteins to proteostasis stress.

Project description:The capacity of the cell to produce, fold and degrade proteins relies on components of the proteostasis network. Multiple types of insults can impose a burden on this network, causing protein misfolding. Using thermal stress, a classic example of acute proteostatic stress, we demonstrate that ?5-10% of the soluble cytosolic and nuclear proteome in human HEK293 cells is vulnerable to misfolding when proteostatic function is overwhelmed. Inhibiting new protein synthesis for 30?min prior to heat-shock dramatically reduced the amount of heat-stress induced polyubiquitylation, and reduced the misfolding of proteins identified as vulnerable to thermal stress. Following prior studies in C. elegans in which mutant huntingtin (Q103) expression was shown to cause the secondary misfolding of cytosolic proteins, we also demonstrate that mutant huntingtin causes similar 'secondary' misfolding in human cells. Similar to thermal stress, inhibiting new protein synthesis reduced the impact of mutant huntingtin on proteostatic function. These findings suggest that newly made proteins are vulnerable to misfolding when proteostasis is disrupted by insults such as thermal stress and mutant protein aggregation.

Fishing for newly synthesized proteins with phosphonate-handles.

Project description:Bioorthogonal chemistry introduces affinity-labels into biomolecules with minimal disruption to the original system and is widely applicable in a range of contexts. In proteomics, immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) enables enrichment of phosphopeptides with extreme sensitivity and selectivity. Here, we adapt and combine these superb assets in a new enrichment strategy using phosphonate-handles, which we term PhosID. In this approach, click-able phosphonate-handles are introduced into proteins via 1,3-dipolar Huisgen-cycloaddition to azido-homo-alanine (AHA) and IMAC is then used to enrich exclusively for phosphonate-labeled peptides. In interferon-gamma (IFNγ) stimulated cells, PhosID enabled the identification of a large number of IFN responsive newly synthesized proteins (NSPs) whereby we monitored the differential synthesis of these proteins over time. Collectively, these data validate the excellent performance of PhosID with efficient analysis and quantification of hundreds of NSPs by single LC-MS/MS runs. We envision PhosID as an attractive and alternative tool for studying stimuli-sensitive proteome subsets.
