Single-electron oxidation of neutral boryl-linked tetraaminoethylene derivatives <b>4</b> led to the formation of radical cations <b>4˙<sup>+</sup></b> , which have been isolated and fully characterized. X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and computational studies revealed that the unpaired electron is delocalized over the B<sub>2</sub>N<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub> skeleton and the spin density mainly resides on the carbon and boron atoms. ...[more]

Project description:The divinyldiarsene radical cations [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 ) (NHC=IPr: C{(NDipp)CH}2 3; SIPr: C{(NDipp)CH2 }2 4; Dipp=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 ) and dications [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (GaCl4 )2 (NHC=IPr 5; SIPr 6) are readily accessible as crystalline solids on sequential one-electron oxidation of the corresponding divinyldiarsenes [{(NHC)C(Ph)}As]2 (NHC=IPr 1; SIPr 2) with GaCl3 . Compounds 3-6 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, EPR/NMR spectroscopy, and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations. The sequential removal of one electron from the HOMO, that is mainly the As-As ?-bond, of 1 and 2 leads to successive elongation of the As=As bond and contraction of the C-As bonds from 1/2?3/4?5/6. The UV/vis spectrum of 3 and 4 each exhibits a strong absorption in the visible region associated with SOMO-related transitions. The EPR spectrum of 3 and 4 each shows a broadened septet owing to coupling of the unpaired electron with two 75 As (I=3/2) nuclei.

Project description:One-electron oxidation of two series of diaryldichalcogenides (C6F5E)2 (13a-c) and (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a-c) was studied (E = S, Se, Te). The reaction of 13a and 13b with AsF5 and SbF5 gave rise to the formation of thermally unstable radical cations [(C6F5S)2]˙+ (14a) and [(C6F5Se)2]˙+ (14b) that were isolated as [Sb2F11]- and [As2F11]- salts, respectively. The reaction of 13c with AsF5 afforded only the product of a Te-C bond cleavage, namely the previously known dication [Te4]2+ that was isolated as [AsF6]- salt. The reaction of (2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2 (16a-c) with [NO][SbF6] provided the corresponding radical cations [(2,6-Mes2C6H3E)2]˙+ (17a-c; E = S, Se, Te) in the form of thermally stable [SbF6]- salts in nearly quantitative yields. The electronic and structural properties of these radical cations were probed by X-ray diffraction analysis, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations and other methods.

Project description:The metalated ylide YNa [Y=(Ph3 PCSO2 Tol)- ] was employed as X,L-donor ligand for the preparation of a series of boron cations. Treatment of the bis-ylide functionalized borane Y2 BH with different trityl salts or B(C6 F5 )3 for hydride abstraction readily results in the formation of the bis-ylide functionalized boron cation [Y-B-Y]+ (2). The high donor capacity of the ylide ligands allowed the isolation of the cationic species and its characterization in solution as well as in solid state. DFT calculations demonstrate that the cation is efficiently stabilized through electrostatic effects as well as ?-donation from the ylide ligands, which results in its high stability. Despite the high stability of 2 [Y-B-Y]+ serves as viable source for the preparation of further borenium cations of type Y2 B+ ?LB by addition of Lewis bases such as amines and amides. Primary and secondary amines react to tris(amino)boranes via N-H activation across the B-C bond.

Project description:Three stable N,N'-diarylated dihydroazaacene radical cations were prepared by oxidation of neutral N,N'-diarylated dihydroazaacenes synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig aminations of aryl iodides with N,N'-dihydroazaacenes. Both neutral as well as oxidized species were investigated via UV-vis spectroscopy, single crystal analysis, and DFT calculations. All the radical cations are surprisingly stable-their absorption spectra in dichloromethane remain unchanged in ambient conditions for at least 24 hours.

Project description:A systematic study of radical boron migration in diboronate complexes to form synthetically valuable 1,n-bisborylalkanes is reported. The boronate complexes are readily generated by reaction of commercial bis(pinacolato)diboron with alkyl Grignard compounds. C-radical generation at a defined position with respect to the diboron moiety is achieved either via intermolecular H-abstraction with a CF3-radical or via alkene perfluoroalkyl radical addition. It is shown that radical 1,2- and 1,4-boron migrations to provide geminal and 1,3-bisborylalkanes are efficient transformations. The 1,5-boron migration in the homologous series leading to 1,4-bisborylalkanes is also occurring, albeit with lower efficiency. Experimental results are supported by DFT calculations which also reveal the corresponding 1,3-boron migration in such diboronate complexes to be feasible.

Project description:Radical aryl migration reactions represent a unique type of organic transformations that involve the intramolecular migration of an aryl group from a carbon or heteroatom to a C- or heteroatom-centered radical through a spirocyclic intermediate. Various elements, including N, O, Si, P, S, Sn, Ge, and Se, have been reported to participate in radical aryl migrations. However, radical aryl migration from a boron center has not been reported to date. In this communication, radical 1,5-aryl migration from boron to carbon in aryl boronate complexes is presented. C-radicals readily generated through radical addition onto alkenyl aryl boronate complexes are shown to engage in 1,5-aryl migration reactions to provide 4-aryl-alkylboronic esters. As boronate complexes can be generated in situ by the reaction of alkenylboronic acid esters with aryl lithium reagents, the aryl moiety is readily varied, providing access to a series of arylated products starting from the same alkenylboronic acid ester via divergent chemistry. Reactions proceed with high diastereoselectivity under mild conditions, and also the analogous 1,4-aryl shifts are feasible. The suggested mechanism is supported by DFT calculations.

Project description:A series of quinoidal N,N'-diaryldiaza-N,N'-dihydropentacenes (Quino) was prepared in a two-step reaction, starting from quinacridone. Oxidation of Quino furnishes stable radical cations, isoelectronic to the radical anions of the azaacenes, whereas the dicationic species are isoelectronic to neutral azapentacenes. The spectroscopic properties of the diaryldiazapentacenes and their oxidized mono- and dications are equivalent to that of the dianion of tetraazapentacene (TAP), its radical anion and the neutral TAP.

Project description:Thymidine radical cation (1) is produced by ionizing radiation and has been invoked as an intermediate in electron transfer in DNA. Previous studies on its structure and reactivity have utilized thymidine as a precursor, which limits quantitative product analysis because thymidine is readily reformed from 1. In this investigation, radical cation 1 is independently generated via ?-heterolysis of a pyrimidine radical generated photochemically from an aryl sulfide. Thymidine is the major product (33%) from 1 at pH 7.2. Diastereomeric mixtures of thymidine glycol and the corresponding 5-hydroxperoxides resulting from water trapping of 1 are formed. Significantly lower yields of products such as 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine that are ascribable to deprotonation from the C5-methyl group of 1 are observed. Independent generation of the N3-methyl analogue of 1 (NMe-1) produces considerably higher yields of products derived from water trapping, and these products are formed in much higher yields than those attributable to the C5-methyl group deprotonation in NMe-1. N3-Methyl-thymidine is, however, the major product and is produced in as high as 70% yield when the radical cation is produced in the presence of excess thiol. The effects of exogenous reagents on product distributions are consistent with the formation of diffusively free radical cations (1, NMe-1). This method should be compatible with producing radical cations at defined positions within DNA.

Project description:In this study, we generated phosphoserine- and phosphothreonine-containing peptide radical cations through low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the ternary metal-ligand phosphorylated peptide complexes [Cu(II)(terpy)(p)M](·2+) and [Co(III)(salen)(p)M](·+) [(p)M: phosphorylated angiotensin III derivative; terpy: 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine; salen: N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)]. Subsequent CID of the phosphorylated peptide radical cations ((p)M(·+)) revealed fascinating gas-phase radical chemistry, yielding (1) charge-directed b- and y-type product ions, (2) radical-driven product ions through cleavages of peptide backbones and side chains, and (3) different degrees of formation of [M - H(3)PO(4)](·+) species through phosphate ester bond cleavage. The CID spectra of the (p)M(·+) species and their non-phosphorylated analogues featured fragment ions of similar sequence, suggesting that the phosphoryl group did not play a significant role in the fragmentation of the peptide backbone or side chain. The extent of neutral H(3)PO(4) loss was influenced by the peptide sequence and the initial sites of the charge and radical. A preliminary density functional theory study, at the B3LYP 6-311++G(d,p) level of theory, of the neutral loss of H(3)PO(4) from a prototypical model--N-acetylphosphorylserine methylamide--revealed several factors governing the elimination of neutral phosphoryl groups through charge- and radical-induced mechanisms.

Project description:We report the studies of (1) the basic mechanism underlying the formation of defect-free, single crystalline boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) synthesized using pulsed laser plasma deposition (PLPD) technique, (2) the variation in the crystalline structure at the edges of the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets, and (3) the basic electrical properties related to the BNNSs tunneling effect and electrical breakdown voltage. The nanoscale morphologies of BNNSs are characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The results show that each sample consisted of a number of transparent BNNSs that partially overlapped one another. Varying the deposition duration yielded different thicknesses of sample but did not affect the morphology, structure, and thickness of individual BNNSs pieces. Analysis of the SEM and HRTEM data revealed changes in the spatial period of the B3-N3 hexagonal structures and the interlayer distance at the edge of the BNNSs, which occurred due to the limited number of atomic layers and was confirmed further by x-ray diffraction (XRD) study. The experimental results clearly indicate that the values of the electrical conductivities of the super-thin BNNSs and the effect of temperature relied strongly on the direction of observation.
