Stable Radical Cations of N,N'-Diarylated Dihydrodiazapentacenes.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Stable N,N'-Diarylated Dihydrodiazaacene Radical Cations.

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.

Highly planar diarylamine-fused porphyrins and their remarkably stable radical cations.

Project description:Oxidative fusion reactions of meso-phenoxazino Ni(ii) porphyrin were found to be temperature dependent, giving rise to either a doubly phenylene-fused product at room temperature or a singly phenoxazine-fused product at 70 °C. The latter was further oxidized to a doubly phenoxazine-fused Ni(ii) porphyrin, which was subsequently converted to the corresponding free base porphyrin and Zn(ii) porphyrin. Compared to previously reported diphenylamine-fused porphyrins that displayed a molecular twist, doubly phenoxazine-fused porphyrins exhibited distinctly different properties owing to their highly planar structures, such as larger fluorescence quantum yields, formation of an offset face-to-face dimer both in solution and the solid state, and the generation of a mixed-valence ?-radical cation dimer upon electrochemical oxidation. One-electron oxidation of the phenoxazine-fused Ni(ii) porphyrin with Magic Blue gave the corresponding radical cation, which was certainly stable and could be isolated by separation over a silica gel column but slowly chlorinated at the reactive ?-positions in the solid state. This finding led to us to examine ?,?'-dichlorinated phenoxazine-fused and diphenylamine-fused Ni(ii) porphyrins, which, upon treatment with Magic Blue, provided remarkably stable radical cations to an unprecedented level. It is actually possible to purify these radical cations by silica gel chromatography, and they can be stored for over 6 months without any sign of deterioration. Moreover, they exhibited no degradation even after the CH2Cl2 solution was washed with water. However, subtle structural differences (planar versus partly twisted) led to different crystal packing structures and solid-state magnetic properties.

Diaryldichalcogenide radical cations.

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.

One- and Two-Electron Transfer Oxidation of 1,4-Disilabenzene with Formation of Stable Radical Cations and Dications.

Project description:Electron-transferable oxidants such as B(C6 F5 )3 /nBuLi, B(C6 F5 )3 /LiB(C6 F5 )4 , B(C6 F5 )3 /LiHBEt3 , Al(C6 F5 )3 /(o-RC6 H4 )AlH2 (R=N(CMe2 CH2 )2 CH2 ), B(C6 F5 )3 /AlEt3 , Al(C6 F5 )3 , Al(C6 F5 )3 /nBuLi, Al(C6 F5 )3 /AlMe3 , (CuC6 F5 )4 , and Ag2 SO4 , respectively were employed for reactions with (L)2 Si2 C4 (SiMe3 )2 (C2 SiMe3 )2 (L=PhC(NtBu)2 , 1). The stable radical cation [1]+. was formed and paired with the anions [nBuB(C6 F5 )3 ]- (in 2), [B(C6 F5 )4 ]- (in 3), [HB(C6 F5 )3 ]- (in 4), [EtB(C6 F5 )3 ]- (in 5), {[(C6 F5 )3 Al]2 (μ-F)]- (in 6), [nBuAl(C6 F5 )3 ]- (in 7), and [Cu(C6 F5 )2 ]- (in 8), respectively. The stable dication [1]2+ was also generated with the anions [EtB(C6 F5 )3 ]- (9) and [MeAl(C6 F5 )3 ]- (10), respectively. In addition, the neutral compound [(L)2 Si2 C4 (SiMe3 )2 (C2 SiMe3 )2 ][μ-O2 S(O)2 ] (11) was obtained. Compounds 2-11 are characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and elemental analysis. Compounds 2-8 are analyzed by EPR spectroscopy and compounds 9-11 by NMR spectroscopy. The structure features are discussed on the central Si2 C4 -rings of 1, [1]+. , [1]2+ , and 11, respectively.

Crystalline boron-linked tetraaminoethylene radical cations.

Project description:Single-electron oxidation of neutral boryl-linked tetraaminoethylene derivatives 4 led to the formation of radical cations 4?+ , 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 B2N4C2 skeleton and the spin density mainly resides on the carbon and boron atoms.

Crystalline Divinyldiarsene Radical Cations and Dications.

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.

Independent Generation and Reactivity of Thymidine Radical Cations.

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.

Formation and dissociation of phosphorylated peptide radical cations.

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.

Radical Cation/Radical Reactions: A Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Study of Allyl Radical Reacting with Aromatic Radical Cations.

Project description:A method for the study of reactions of open-shell neutrals (radicals) and radical cations is described. Pyrolysis (25-1500 degrees C) of thermally labile compounds, such as, 1,5-hexadiene via a Chen nozzle yields a seeded beam of reactive species in helium. The pyrolysis products are then analyzed by electron ionization (EI) or reacted with stored ions. Electron ionization of the pyrolysis products of 1,5-hexadiene shows that both the allyl radical and allene are generated. Reactions of benzene radical cations and the pyrolysis products of 1,5-hexadiene result in carbon-carbon bond formation. Those reactions of allyl radical with the benzene radical cation yield the C(7)H(7) (+) ion of m/z 91, permitting an unusual entry into arenium ions. The reaction of allene with benzene radical cation in contrast yields C(9)H(10) (+). and C(9)H(9) (+).

p53 Mutagenesis by benzo[a]pyrene derived radical cations.

Project description:Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a major human carcinogen in combustion products such as cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust, is metabolically activated into DNA-reactive metabolites via three different enzymatic pathways. The pathways are the anti-(+)-benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide pathway (P450/epoxide hydrolase catalyzed) (B[a]PDE), the benzo[a]pyrene o-quinone pathway (aldo ketose reductase (AKR) catalyzed) and the B[a]P radical cation pathway (P450 peroxidase catalyzed). We used a yeast p53 mutagenesis system to assess mutagenesis by B[a]P radical cations. Because radical cations are short-lived, they were generated in situ by reacting B[a]P with cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH) and horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and then monitoring the generation of the more stable downstream products, B[a]P-1,6-dione and B[a]P-3,6-dione. On the basis of B[a]P-1,6 and 3,6-dione formation, approximately 4 ?M of radical cation was generated. In the mutagenesis assays, the radical cations produced in situ showed a dose-dependent increase in mutagenicity from 0.25 ?M to 10 ?M B[a]P with no significant increase seen with further escalation to 50 ?M B[a]P. However, mutagenesis was 200-fold less than with the AKR pathway derived B[a]P, 7-8-dione. Mutant p53 plasmids, which yield red colonies, were recovered from the yeast to study the pattern and spectrum of mutations. The mutation pattern observed was G to T (31%) > G to C (29%) > G to A (14%). The frequency of codons mutated by the B[a]P radical cations was essentially random and not enriched at known cancer hotspots. The quinone products of radical cations, B[a]P-1,6-dione and B[a]P-3,6-dione were more mutagenic than the radical cation reactions, but still less mutagenic than AKR derived B[a]P-7,8-dione. We conclude that B[a]P radical cations and their quinone products are weakly mutagenic in this yeast-based system compared to redox cycling PAH o-quinones.
