Synthesis and Electrochemistry of Novel Dumbbell-Shaped Bis-pyrazolino[60]fullerene Derivatives Formed Using Microwave Radiation.

ABSTRACT: The design of covalently linked [60]fullerene dimers has gained increased attention, as the linked electron donors or acceptors are in close proximity to the surface of the C₆₀, providing a valuable approach to novel molecular electronic devices. Herein, new compounds involving C₆₀ dumbbells covalently connected by the π-conjugated system from azobenzene and diaryl ether linkers were synthesized following the bifunctional cycloaddition reactions to C₆₀ using microwave radiation. The structural identity of the fullerene dimers has been determined using spectroscopic techniques including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), and NMR spectroscopy, and the photophysical and the electrochemical properties for the new dumbbells have been examined using UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry. Both new dimers show electronic interaction with the fullerene cage and higher electron affinity than the pristine C₆₀.

Synthesis and Electrochemistry of New Furylpyrazolino[60]fullerene Derivatives by Efficient Microwave Radiation.

Project description:Efficient one-pot synthesis of new series of furylpyrazolino[60]fullerene derivatives was prepared by [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction mediated with (diacetoxyiodo)benzene (PhI(OAc)2) as an oxidant in o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB) under microwave irradiation. Different techniques have been used to confirm the structural identity including FT-IR, fast atom bombardment (FAB)-mass, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in addition to investigating the photophysical properties and the electrochemical properties for the new compounds using UV-Vis spectra, fluorescence spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and square wave voltammetry. Three of these pyrazolino[60]fullerene compounds showed better electron affinity than the parent C60 in the ground state.

Mono- and Di-Pyrene [60]Fullerene and [70]Fullerene Derivatives as Potential Components for Photovoltaic Devices.

Project description:In the present work, we report the successful synthesis and characterization of six (two new) fullerene mono- and di-pyrene derivatives based on C60 and C70 fullerenes. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral methods (ESI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV-Vis, FT-IR, photoluminescence and photocurrent spectroscopy). The energy of HOMO and LUMO levels and the band gaps were determined from cyclic voltammetry and compared with the theoretical values calculated according to the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) and DFT/PBE/6-311G(d,p) approach for fully optimized molecular structures at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Efficiency of solar cells made of PTB7: C60 and C70 fullerene pyrene derivatives were analyzed based on the determined energy levels of the HOMO and LUMO orbitals of the derivatives as well as the extensive spectral results of fullerene derivatives and their mixtures with PTB7. As a result, we found that the electronic and spectral properties, on which the efficiency of a photovoltaic cell is believed to depend, slightly changes with the number and type of pyrene substituents on the fullerene core. The efficiency of constructed solar cells largely depends on the homogeneity of the photovoltaic layer, which, in turn, is a derivative of the solubility of fullerene derivatives in the solvent used to apply these layers by spincoating.

Base-iodine-promoted metal-catalyst-free reactions of [60]fullerene with β-keto esters for the selective formation of [60]fullerene derivatives.

Project description:In this study, methanofullerenes and 2',3'-dihydrofuran C60 derivatives were selectively synthesized in high yields via the reactions of C60 with β-keto esters under mild conditions by controlling the addition sequence and molar ratio of iodine and base. The structures of the products were determined by spectroscopic characterization. Moreover, a possible reaction mechanism for the selective formation of fullerene derivatives was proposed.

Enhancing fullerene-based solar cell lifetimes by addition of a fullerene dumbbell.

Project description:Cost-effective, solution-processable organic photovoltaics (OPV) present an interesting alternative to inorganic silicon-based solar cells. However, one of the major remaining challenges of OPV devices is their lack of long-term operational stability, especially at elevated temperatures. The synthesis of a fullerene dumbbell and its use as an additive in the active layer of a PCDTBT:PCBM-based OPV device is reported. The addition of only 20?% of this novel fullerene not only leads to improved device efficiencies, but more importantly also to a dramatic increase in morphological stability under simulated operating conditions. Dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometry (DSIMS) and TEM are used, amongst other techniques, to elucidate the origins of the improved morphological stability.

Regioselective electrosynthesis of tetra- and hexa-functionalized [60]fullerene derivatives with unprecedented addition patterns.

Project description:The efficient and regioselective electrosynthesis of tetra- and hexa-functionalized [60]fullerene derivatives with unprecedented addition patterns has been achieved. The tetra-functionalized [60]fullerene derivative with an intriguing 1,2,4,17-addition pattern is regioselectively obtained by cyclization reaction of the dianionic species generated electrochemically from a [60]fulleroindoline with 1,2-bis(bromomethyl)benzene at 0 °C, and can be converted to the more stable 1,2,3,4-adduct at 25 °C. Furthermore, the hexa-functionalized [60]fullerene derivative with the 1,2,3,4,9,10-addition pattern displaying a unique "S"-shaped configuration can be synthesized by protonation of the electrochemically generated dianion of the obtained tetra-functionalized 1,2,4,17-adduct. The structures of the tetra- and hexa-functionalized products have been determined by spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray analysis.

Successively Regioselective Electrosynthesis and Electron Transport Property of Stable Multiply Functionalized [60]Fullerene Derivatives.

Project description:With the recent advance in chemical modification of fullerenes, electrosynthesis has demonstrated increasing importance in regioselective synthesis of novel fullerene derivatives. Herein, we report successively regioselective synthesis of stable tetra- and hexafunctionalized [60]fullerene derivatives. The cycloaddition reaction of the electrochemically generated dianions from [60]fulleroindolines with phthaloyl chloride regioselectively affords 1,2,4,17-functionalized [60]fullerene derivatives with two attached ketone groups and a unique addition pattern, where the heterocycle is rearranged to a [5,6]-junction and the carbocycle is fused to an adjacent [6,6]-junction. This addition pattern is in sharp contrast with that of the previously reported biscycloadducts, where both cycles are appended to [6,6]-junctions. The obtained tetrafunctionalized compounds can be successively manipulated to 1,2,3,4,9,10-functionalized [60]fullerene derivatives with an intriguing "S"-shaped configuration via a novel electrochemical protonation. Importantly, the stability of tetrafunctionalized [60]fullerene products allows them to be applied in planar perovskite solar cells as efficient electron transport layers.

Amphiphilic Aminated Derivatives of [60]Fullerene as Potent Inhibitors of Tumor Growth and Metastasis.

Project description:Malignant proliferation and metastasis are the hallmarks of cancer cells. Aminated [70]fullerene exhibits notable antineoplastic effects, promoting it a candidate for multi-targeted cancer drugs. It is an urgent need to reveal the structure-activity relationship for antineoplastic aminated fullerenes. Herein, three amphiphilic derivatives of [60]fullerene with clarified molecular structures are synthesized: TAPC-4, TAPC-3, and TCPC-4. TAPC-4 inhibits the proliferation of diverse tumor cells via G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, reverses the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and abrogates the high mobility of tumor cells. TAPC-4 can be excreted from the organism and achieves an in vivo inhibition index of 75.5% in tumor proliferation and 87.5% in metastatic melanoma with a wide safety margin. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the amphiphilic molecular structure and the ending amino groups promote the targeting of TAPC-4 to heat shock protein Hsp90-beta, vimentin, and myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9), probably resulting in the alteration of cyclin D1 translation, vimentin expression, and MYH9 location, respectively. This work initially emphasizes the dominant role of the amphiphilic structure and the terminal amino moieties in the antineoplastic effects of aminated fullerenes, providing fundamental support for their anti-tumor drug development.

Cyclodextrin complexed [60]fullerene derivatives with high levels of photodynamic activity by long wavelength excitation.

Project description:We have evaluated the photodynamic activities of C60 derivative·?-cyclodextrin (?-CDx) complexes and demonstrated that they were significantly higher than those of the pristine C60 and C70·?-CDx complexes under photoirradiation at long wavelengths (610-720 nm), which represent the optimal wavelengths for photodynamic therapy (PDT). In particular, the cationic C60 derivative·?-CDx complex had the highest photodynamic ability because the complex possessed the ability to generate high levels of (1)O2 and provided a higher level of intracellular uptake. The photodynamic activity of this complex was greater than that of photofrin, which is the most widely used of the known clinical photosensitizers. These findings therefore provide a significant level of information toward the optimization of molecular design strategies for the synthesis of fullerene derivatives for PDT.

Water-Soluble Fullerene C<sub>60</sub> Derivatives Are Effective Inhibitors of Influenza Virus Replication.

Project description:The influenza virus genome features a very high mutation rate leading to the rapid selection of drug-resistant strains. Due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains, there is a need for the further development of new potent antivirals against influenza with a broad activity spectrum. Thus, the search for a novel, effective broad-spectrum antiviral agent is a top priority of medical science and healthcare systems. In this paper, derivatives based on fullerenes with broad virus inhibiting activities in vitro against a panel of influenza viruses were described. The antiviral properties of water-soluble fullerene derivatives were studied. It was demonstrated that the library of compounds based on fullerenes has cytoprotective activity. Maximum virus-inhibiting activity and minimum toxicity were found with compound 2, containing residues of salts of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylpropanoic acid (CC50 > 300 µg/mL, IC50 = 4.73 µg/mL, SI = 64). This study represents the initial stage in a study of fullerenes as anti-influenza drugs. The results of the study lead us conclude that five leading compounds (1-5) have pharmacological prospects.
