Selective One-Pot Syntheses of Mixed Silicon-Germanium Heteroadamantane Clusters.

ABSTRACT: Si_x Ge_y alloys are emerging materials for modern semiconductor technology. Well-defined model systems of the bulk structures aid in understanding their intrinsic characteristics. Three such model clusters have now been realized in the form of the Si_x Ge_y heteroadamantanes [0], [1], and [2] through selective one-pot syntheses starting from Me₂ GeCl₂ , Si₂ Cl₆ , and [nBu₄ N]Cl. Compound [0] contains six GeMe₂ and four SiSiCl₃ vertices, whereas one and two of the GeMe₂ groups are replaced by SiCl₂ moieties in compounds [1] and [2], respectively. Chloride-ion-mediated rearrangement quantitatively converts [2] into [1] at room temperature and finally into [0] at 60 °C, which is not only remarkable in view of the rigidity of these cage structures but also sheds light on the assembly mechanism.

One-pot syntheses of immunostimulatory glycolipids.

Project description:Glycolipids containing alpha-linked galactosyl and glucosyl moieties have been shown to possess unique immunostimulatory activity creating a need for access to diverse and anomerically pure sources of these compounds for immunological studies. To meet this demand, glycosyl iodides were enlisted in the synthesis of these biologically relevant glycoconjugates. In the first-generation protocol, per-O-benzyl galactosyl iodide was efficiently coupled with activated sphingosine acceptors, but fully functionalized ceramides were found to be unreactive. To overcome this obstacle, per-O-trimethylsilyl glycosyl iodides were investigated and shown to undergo highly efficient coupling with ceramide and glycerol ester acceptors. Contrary to what has been observed with other donors, we detected little difference between the reactivity of glucosyl and galactosyl iodides. The trimethylsilyl protecting groups play a dual role in activating the donor toward nucleophilic attack while at the same time providing transient protection: the silyl groups are readily removed upon methanolysis. All reactions proceeded with complete acceptor regioselectivity, eliminating the need for additional protecting group manipulations, and the desired alpha-anomers were formed exclusively. This three-step, one-pot synthetic platform provides rapid access to an important class of immunostimulatory molecules including the first reported synthesis of the glucosyl analogue of the bacterial antigen BbGL-II.

One-pot phosphine-catalyzed syntheses of quinolines.

Project description:In this study we developed an efficient one-pot procedure for the preparation of 3-substituted and 3,4-disubstituted quinolines from stable starting materials (activated acetylenes reacting with o-tosylamidobenzaldehydes and o-tosylamidophenones, respectively) under mild conditions. The reaction appears to operate under a general base catalysis mechanism, instigated by the β-phosphonium enoate α-vinyl anion generated in situ through nucleophilic addition of PPh(3) to the activated alkyne. Michael addition of the deprotonated tosylamides to the activated alkynes and subsequent rapid aldol cyclization led to the formation of labile N-tosyldihydroquinoline intermediates. Driven by aromatization, detosylation of the dihydroquinoline intermediates occurred readily in the presence of dilute aqueous HCl to give the final quinoline products.

One-pot syntheses of irida-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Project description:Metalla-analogues of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have captivated chemists with their fascinating structures and unique electronic properties. To date, metallabenzene, metallanaphthalene and metallaanthracene have been reported. Metalla-analogues with more complicated fused rings have rarely been reported. Herein, we have successfully synthesized a series of new iridafluoranthenes and fused-ring iridafluoranthenes ranging from pentacyclic to heptacyclic metallaaromatic hydrocarbons in high yields under mild reaction conditions for the first time. Their photophysical and redox properties were also explored using UV-vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry combined with TD-DFT calculations. The present work may offer an important guideline for the design and construction of new polycyclic metallaaromatic hydrocarbons and metalla-nanographenes.

Selective synthesis of germasila-adamantanes through germanium-silicon shift processes.

Project description:The regioselective synthesis of germasila-adamantanes with the germanium atoms in the bridgehead positions is described starting from cyclic precursors by a cationic sila-Wagner-Meerwein (SWM) rearrangement reaction. The SWM rearrangement allows also a deliberate shift of germanium atoms from the periphery and within the cage structures into the bridgehead positions. This opens the possibility for a synthesis of germasila-adamantanes of defined germanium content and controlled regiochemistry. In the same way that sila-adamantane can be regarded as a molecular building block of elemental silicon, the germasila-adamantane molecules represent cutouts of silicon/germanium alloys.

The Effect of Doping on the Digital Etching of Silicon-Selective Silicon-Germanium Using Nitric Acids.

Project description:Gate-all-around (GAA) field-effect transistors have been proposed as one of the most important developments for CMOS logic devices at the 3 nm technology node and beyond. Isotropic etching of silicon-germanium (SiGe) for the definition of nano-scale channels in vertical GAA CMOS and tunneling FETs has attracted more and more attention. In this work, the effect of doping on the digital etching of Si-selective SiGe with alternative nitric acids (HNO3) and buffered oxide etching (BOE) was investigated in detail. It was found that the HNO3 digital etching of SiGe was selective to n+-Si, p+-Si, and intrinsic Si. Extensive studies were performed. It turned out that the selectivity of SiGe/Si was dependent on the doped types of silicon and the HNO3 concentration. As a result, at 31.5% HNO3 concentration, the relative etched amount per cycle (REPC) and the etching selectivity of Si0.72Ge0.28 for n+-Si was identical to that for p+-Si. This is particularly important for applications of vertical GAA CMOS and tunneling FETs, which have to expose both the n+ and p+ sources/drains at the same time. In addition, the values of the REPC and selectivity were obtained. A controllable etching rate and atomically smooth surface could be achieved, which enhanced carrier mobility.

One-Pot Gram-Scale Synthesis of Hydrogen-Terminated Silicon Nanoparticles.

Project description:Silicon nanoparticles (Si NPs) are highly attractive materials for typical quantum dots functions, such as in light-emitting and bioimaging applications, owing to silicon's intrinsic merits of minimal toxicity, low cost, high abundance, and easy and highly stable functionalization. Especially nonoxidized Si NPs with a covalently bound coating serve well in these respects, given the minimization of surface defects upon hydrosilylation of H-terminated Si NPs. However, to date, methods to obtain such H-terminated Si NPs are still not easy. Herein, we report a new synthetic method to produce size-tunable robust, highly crystalline H-terminated Si NPs (4-9 nm) using microwave irradiation within 5 min at temperatures between 25 and 200 °C and their further covalent functionalization. The key step to obtain highly fluorescent (quantum yield of 7-16%) green-red Si NPs in one simple step is the reduction of triethoxysilane and (+)-sodium l-ascorbate, yielding routinely ∼1 g of H-Si NPs via a highly scalable route in 5-15 min. Subsequent functionalization via hydrosilylation yielded Si NPs with an emission quantum yield of 12-14%. This approach can be used to easily produce high-quality H-Si NPs in gram-scale quantities, which brings the application of functionalized Si NPs significantly closer.

Lewis Base-Bronsted Acid-Enzyme Catalysis in Enantioselective Multistep One-Pot Syntheses.

Project description:Establishing one-pot, multi-step protocols combining different types of catalysts is one important goal for increasing efficiency in modern organic synthesis. In particular, the high potential of biocatalysts still needs to be harvested. Based on an in-depth mechanistic investigation of a new organocatalytic protocol employing two catalysts {1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO); benzoic acid (BzOH)}, a sequence was established providing starting materials for enzymatic refinement (ene reductase; alcohol dehydrogenase): A gram-scale access to a variety of enantiopure key building blocks for natural product syntheses was enabled utilizing up to six catalytic steps within the same reaction vessel.

A vertical silicon-graphene-germanium transistor.

Project description:Graphene-base transistors have been proposed for high-frequency applications because of the negligible base transit time induced by the atomic thickness of graphene. However, generally used tunnel emitters suffer from high emitter potential-barrier-height which limits the transistor performance towards terahertz operation. To overcome this issue, a graphene-base heterojunction transistor has been proposed theoretically where the graphene base is sandwiched by silicon layers. Here we demonstrate a vertical silicon-graphene-germanium transistor where a Schottky emitter constructed by single-crystal silicon and single-layer graphene is achieved. Such Schottky emitter shows a current of 692 A cm-2 and a capacitance of 41 nF cm-2, and thus the alpha cut-off frequency of the transistor is expected to increase from about 1 MHz by using the previous tunnel emitters to above 1 GHz by using the current Schottky emitter. With further engineering, the semiconductor-graphene-semiconductor transistor is expected to be one of the most promising devices for ultra-high frequency operation.

Multicomponent type II anion relay chemistry (ARC): one-pot syntheses of 2,3-disubstituted furans and thiophenes.

Project description:Effective, one-pot syntheses of 2,3-disubstituted furans and thiophenes, exploiting 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-3-formylfuran and -thiophene as the respective bifunctional linchpins, have been developed. The synthetic protocol involves multicomponent type II Anion Relay Chemistry (ARC) mediated by a solvent-controlled C(sp(2))-->O 1,4-Brook rearrangement. Simple organolithiums and alpha-disubstituted ester enolates prove effective as the initiating nucleophiles.

Diblock dialternating terpolymers by one-step/one-pot highly selective organocatalytic multimonomer polymerization.

Project description:The synthesis of well-defined block copolymers from a mixture of monomers without additional actions ("one-pot/one-step") is an ideal and industrially valuable method. In addition, the presence of controlled alternating sequences in one or both blocks increases the structural diversity of polymeric materials, but, at the same time, the synthetic difficulty. Here we show that the "one-pot/one-step" ring-opening terpolymerization of a mixture of three monomers (N-sulfonyl aziridines; cyclic anhydrides and epoxides), with tert-butylimino-tris(dimethylamino)phosphorene (t-BuP1) as a catalyst, results in perfect diblock dialternating terpolymers having a sharp junction between the two blocks, with highly-controllable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions (Ð < 1.08). The organocatalyst switches between two distinct polymerization cycles without any external stimulus, showing high monomer selectivity and kinetic control. The proposed mechanism is based on NMR, in-situ FTIR, SEC, MALDI-ToF, reactivity ratios, and kinetics studies.
