Synthesis of open-shell ladder ?-systems by catalytic C-H annulation of diarylacetylenes.

ABSTRACT: A new open-shell ladder-shaped ?-system has been synthesized. Pentaleno[1,2-b:4,5-b']difluorene derivatives, 8 fused ring systems bearing 5- and 6-membered rings, were constructed from alkynylfluorenone through a reaction sequence including Pd-catalyzed C-H/C-H annulation. X-ray crystallography and ESR spectroscopy revealed the open-shell character of these ladder-shaped molecules, which derives from their extended ?-electron conjugation. Absorption peaks in the near IR region as well as narrow redox potentials observed by cyclic voltammetry indicated small optical and fundamental energy gaps of these fused ring systems.

On-surface synthesis of π-conjugated ladder-type polymers comprising nonbenzenoid moieties.

Project description:On-surface synthesis provides a powerful approach toward the atomically precise fabrication of π-conjugated ladder polymers (CLPs). We report herein the surface-assisted synthesis of nonbenzenoid CLPs from cyclopenta-annulated anthracene monomers on Au(111) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Successive thermal annealing steps reveal the dehalogenative homocoupling to yield an intermediate 1D polymer and the subsequent cyclodehydrogenation to form the fully conjugated ladder polymer. Notably, neighbouring monomers may fuse in two different ways, resulting in six- and five-membered rings, respectively. The structure and electronic properties of the reaction products have been investigated via low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, complemented by density-functional theory calculations. Our results provide perspectives for the on-surface synthesis of nonbenzenoid CLPs with the potential to be used for organic electronic devices.

FCIQMC-Tailored Distinguishable Cluster Approach: Open-Shell Systems.

Project description:A recently proposed tailored approach based on the distinguishable cluster method and the stochastic FCI solver, FCIQMC [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2020, 16, 5621], is extended to open-shell molecular systems. The method is employed to calculate spin gaps of various Fe(II) complexes, including a Fe(II) porphyrin model system. Both distinguishable cluster and fully relaxed CASSCF natural orbitals were used in this work as reference for the subsequent tailored distinguishable cluster calculations. The distinguishable cluster natural orbitals occupation numbers were also used as an aid to the selection of the active space. The effect of the active space sizes and of the explicit correlation correction (F12) onto the predicted spin gaps is investigated. The tailored distinguishable cluster with singles and doubles yields consistently more accurate results compared to the tailored coupled cluster with singles and doubles.

Integrated Multiscale Multilevel Approach to Open Shell Molecular Systems.

Project description:We present a novel multiscale approach to study the electronic structure of open shell molecular systems embedded in an external environment. The method is based on the coupling of multilevel Hartree-Fock (MLHF) and Density Functional Theory (MLDFT), suitably extended to the unrestricted formalism, to Molecular Mechanics (MM) force fields (FF). Within the ML region, the system is divided into active and inactive parts, thus describing the most relevant interactions (electrostatic, polarization, and Pauli repulsion) at the quantum level. The surrounding MM part, which is formulated in terms of nonpolarizable or polarizable FFs, permits a physically consistent treatment of long-range electrostatics and polarization effects. The approach is extended to the calculation of hyperfine coupling constants and applied to selected nitroxyl radicals in an aqueous solution.

Tailoring π-conjugation and vibrational modes to steer on-surface synthesis of pentalene-bridged ladder polymers.

Project description:The development of synthetic strategies to engineer π-conjugated polymers is of paramount importance in modern chemistry and materials science. Here we introduce a synthetic protocol based on the search for specific vibrational modes through an appropriate tailoring of the π-conjugation of the precursors, in order to increase the attempt frequency of a chemical reaction. First, we design a 1D π-conjugated polymer on Au(111), which is based on bisanthene monomers linked by cumulene bridges that tune specific vibrational modes. In a second step, upon further annealing, such vibrational modes steer the twofold cyclization reaction between adjacent bisanthene moieties, which gives rise to a long pentalene-bridged conjugated ladder polymer featuring a low bandgap. In addition, high resolution atomic force microscopy allows us to identify by atomistic insights the resonance form of the polymer, thus confirming the validity of the Glidewell and Lloyd´s rules for aromaticity. This on-surface synthetic strategy may stimulate exploiting previously precluded reactions towards π-conjugated polymers with specific structures and properties.

Synthesis of open-shell, bimetallic Mn/Fe trinuclear clusters.

Project description:Concomitant deprotonation and metalation of hexadentate ligand platform (tbs)LH6 ((tbs)LH6 = 1,3,5-C6H9(NHC6H4-o-NHSiMe2(t)Bu)3) with divalent transition metal starting materials Fe2(Mes)4 (Mes = mesityl) or Mn3(Mes)6 in the presence of tetrahydrofuran (THF) resulted in isolation of homotrinuclear complexes ((tbs)L)Fe3(THF) and ((tbs)L)Mn3(THF), respectively. In the absence of coordinating solvent (THF), the deprotonation and metalation exclusively afforded dinuclear complexes of the type ((tbs)LH2)M2 (M = Fe or Mn). The resulting dinuclear species were utilized as synthons to prepare bimetallic trinuclear clusters. Treatment of ((tbs)LH2)Fe2 complex with divalent Mn source (Mn2(N(SiMe3)2)4) afforded the bimetallic complex ((tbs)L)Fe2Mn(THF), which established the ability of hexamine ligand (tbs)LH6 to support mixed metal clusters. The substitutional homogeneity of ((tbs)L)Fe2Mn(THF) was determined by (1)H NMR, (57)Fe Mössbauer, and X-ray fluorescence. Anomalous scattering measurements were critical for the unambiguous assignment of the trinuclear core composition. Heating a solution of ((tbs)LH2)Mn2 with a stoichiometric amount of Fe2(Mes)4 (0.5 mol equiv) affords a mixture of both ((tbs)L)Mn2Fe(THF) and ((tbs)L)Fe2Mn(THF) as a result of the thermodynamic preference for heavier metal substitution within the hexa-anilido ligand framework. These results demonstrate for the first time the assembly of mixed metal cluster synthesis in an unbiased ligand platform.

Discovery of molecular ferroelectric catalytic annulation for quinolines.

Project description:Ferroelectrics as emerging and attractive catalysts have shown tremendous potential for applications including wastewater treatment, hydrogen production, nitrogen fixation, and organic synthesis, etc. In this study, we demonstrate that molecular ferroelectric crystal TMCM-CdCl3 (TMCM = trimethylchloromethylammonium) with multiaxial ferroelectricity and superior piezoelectricity has an effective catalytic activity on the direct construction of the pharmacologically important substituted quinoline derivatives via one-pot [3 + 2 + 1] annulation of anilines and terminal alkynes by using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the carbon source. The recrystallized TMCM-CdCl3 crystals from DMF remain well ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity. Upon ultrasonic condition, periodic changes in polarization contribute to the release of free charges from the surface of the ferroelectric domains in nano size, which then quickly interacts with the substrates in the solution to trigger the pivotal redox process. Our work advances the molecular ferroelectric crystal as a catalytic route to organic synthesis, not only providing valuable direction for molecular ferroelectrics but also further enriching the executable range of ferroelectric catalysis.

Magnetic Interplay between π-Electrons of Open-Shell Porphyrins and d-Electrons of Their Central Transition Metal Ions.

Project description:Magnetism is typically associated with d- or f-block elements, but can also appear in organic molecules with unpaired π-electrons. This has considerably boosted the interest in such organic materials with large potential for spintronics and quantum applications. While several materials showing either d/f or π-electron magnetism have been synthesized, the combination of both features within the same structure has only scarcely been reported. Open-shell porphyrins (Pors) incorporating d-block transition metal ions represent an ideal platform for the realization of such architectures. Herein, the preparation of a series of open-shell, π-extended Pors that contain magnetically active metal ions (i.e., CuII , CoII , and FeII ) through a combination of in-solution and on-surface synthesis is reported. A detailed study of the magnetic interplay between π- and d-electrons in these metalloPors has been performed by scanning probe methods and density functional theory calculations. For the Cu and FePors, ferromagnetically coupled π-electrons are determined to be delocalized over the Por edges. For the CoPor, the authors find a Kondo resonance resulting from the singly occupied CoII dz 2 orbital to dominate the magnetic fingerprint. The Fe derivative exhibits the highest magnetization of 3.67 μB (S≈2) and an exchange coupling of 16 meV between the π-electrons and the Fe d-states.

Multicomponent synthesis of chromophores - The one-pot approach to functional π-systems.

Project description:Multicomponent reactions, conducted in a domino, sequential or consecutive fashion, have not only considerably enhanced synthetic efficiency as one-pot methodology, but they have also become an enabling tool for interdisciplinary research. The highly diversity-oriented nature of the synthetic concept allows accessing huge structural and functional space. Already some decades ago this has been recognized for life sciences, in particular, lead finding and exploration in pharma and agricultural chemistry. The quest for novel functional materials has also opened the field for diversity-oriented syntheses of functional π-systems, i.e. dyes for photonic and electronic applications based on their electronic properties. This review summarizes recent developments in MCR syntheses of functional chromophores highlighting syntheses following either the framework forming scaffold approach by establishing connectivity between chromophores or the chromogenic chromophore approach by de novo formation of chromophore of interest. Both approaches warrant rapid access to molecular functional π-systems, i.e. chromophores, fluorophores, and electrophores for various applications.

Finding Lead Catalytic Systems for a Rare Version of Enantioselective Robinson Annulation: Integration of Fluorogenic Assays in Catalyst Screening.

Project description:Among the several variants of the highly useful and versatile Robinson annulation, a particular variation that involves ketones reacting with nonenolizable enones, while the α-carbons of the ketones act as nucleophiles at both steps of this cascade process, remains largely unexplored. Moreover, such a catalytic enantioselective reaction is exceptionally rare. While pursuing catalysis of this transformation, we developed two fluorogenic assays that, in combination with other analytic techniques, enabled rapid screening of several sets of catalysts. The first set of polymer-bound aminourea bifunctional organocatalysts was screened using a two-step fluorogenic protocol, designed for slower (e.g., heterogeneous) catalysts. Robinson annulation of acetone with 4'-nitrochalcone formed 3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-2-cyclohexenone, which, after a "developing" reductive treatment, was converted into the corresponding amino derivative, serving as a fluorescent reporter. On the other hand, a range of potentially faster homogeneous catalyst-cocatalyst systems were examined using a direct assay, where 4'-dimethylaminochalcone is converted into the corresponding cyclohexanone fluorescent reporter already upon annulation with acetone. In both cases, the combination of the fluorogenic protocols with high-performance liquid chromatography-based enantiomeric excess estimation enabled identification of lead catalysts, which promoted the enantioselective version of this variant of the annulation.
