Reductively Stable Hydrogen-Bonding Ligands Featuring Appended CF₂-H Units.

ABSTRACT: We present the development of ligands featuring the unconventional hydrogen bond donor, -CF₂H, within a metal's secondary coordination sphere. When metalated with palladium, o-CF₂H-functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline provides highly directed H-bonding interactions with Pd-coordinated substrates. Spectroscopic and computational analyses with a series of X-type ligand acceptors (-F, -Cl, -Br, -OR) establish the H-bonding interaction strength for the -CF₂H group (∼3 kcal/mol). The synthesis of Pd⁰/Ni⁰ complexes and subsequent coupling (Ni) highlight the unique reductive and base compatibility of the -CF₂H hydrogen bond donor group.

Rhodium(III) Complexes Featuring Coordinated CF3 Appendages.

Project description:The synthesis and characterisation of a homologous series of rhodium 2,2'-biphenyl complexes featuring intramolecular dative bonding of the nominally inert and weakly coordinating trifluoromethyl group are described. Presence of these interactions is evidenced in the solid state using X-ray diffraction, with Rh-F contacts of 2.36-2.45 Å, and in solution using NMR spectroscopy, through hindered C-CF3 bond rotation and the presence of time-averaged 1 JRhF and 2 JPF coupling.

Hydrogen-Bonded Dimeric Capsules with Appended Spiropyran Units: Towards Controlled Cargo Release.

Project description:We report the synthesis of unprecedented tetra-urea derivatives of calix[4]arene and calix[4]pyrrole containing four spiropyran (SP) units at their upper rim. We investigate the photo- and acid-induced isomerization of the monomeric and homo-dimeric tetra-ureas derivatives using UV-Vis and 1 H NMR spectroscopies. At micromolar concentration, irradiation of the samples with 365 nm light induces changes in their absorption spectra that are consistent with SP→merocyanine (MC) isomerization. However, analogous experiments at millimolar concentration do not produce noticeable changes in the 1 H NMR spectra. The addition of triflic acid to micromolar and millimolar solutions of the tetra-ureas produces the quantitative isomerization of the SP units to the protonated merocyanine form (E-MCH+ ) and the simultaneous disassembly of the capsular dimers to form ill-defined aggregates. The neutralization of the acid solutions resets the SP form. Under these acid/base treatment conditions, the controlled release of the included guest and the reassembly of the all-SP tetra-urea dimers occurs at different extents depending on its calix[4]arene or calix[4]pyrrole scaffold.

CF2H, a Hydrogen Bond Donor.

Project description:The CF2H group, a potential surrogate for the OH group, can act as an unusual hydrogen bond donor, as confirmed by crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational methods. Here, we demonstrate the bioisosterism of the OH and CF2H groups and the important roles of CF2-H···O hydrogen bonds in influencing intermolecular interactions and conformational preferences. Experimental evidence, corroborated by theory, reveals the distinctive nature of CF2H hydrogen bonding interactions relative to their normal OH hydrogen bonding counterparts.

Stable and Storable N(CF3 )2 Transfer Reagents.

Project description:Fluorinated groups are essential for drug design, agrochemicals, and materials science. The bis(trifluoromethyl)amino group is an example of a stable group that has a high potential. While the number of molecules containing perfluoroalkyl, perfluoroalkoxy, and other fluorinated groups is steadily increasing, examples with the N(CF3 )2 group are rare. One reason is that transfer reagents are scarce and metal-based storable reagents are unknown. Herein, a set of CuI and AgI bis(trifluoromethyl)amido complexes stabilized by N- and P-donor ligands with unprecedented stability are presented. The complexes are stable solids that can even be manipulated in air for a short time. They are bis(trifluoromethyl)amination reagents as shown by nucleophilic substitution and Sandmeyer reactions. In addition to a series of benzylbis(trifluoromethyl)amines, 2-bis(trifluoromethyl)amino acetate was obtained, which, upon hydrolysis, gives the fluorinated amino acid N,N-bis(trifluoromethyl)glycine.

Bio-inspired CO2 reduction by a rhenium tricarbonyl bipyridine-based catalyst appended to amino acids and peptidic platforms: incorporating proton relays and hydrogen-bonding functional groups.

Project description:Herein, we report a new approach to bio-inspired catalyst design. The molecular catalyst employed in these studies is based on the robust and selective Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl-type (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) homogeneous catalysts, which have been extensively studied for their ability to reduce CO2 electrochemically or photochemically in the presence of a photosensitizer. These catalysts can be highly active photocatalysts in their own right. In this work, the bipyridine ligand was modified with amino acids and synthetic peptides. These results build on earlier findings wherein the bipyridine ligand was functionalized with amide groups to promote dimer formation and CO2 reduction by an alternate bimolecular mechanism at lower overpotential (ca. 250 mV) than the more commonly observed unimolecular process. The bio-inspired catalysts were designed to allow for the incorporation of proton relays to support reduction of CO2 to CO and H2O. The coupling of amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine led to the formation of two structurally similar Re catalyst/peptide catalysts for comparison of proton transport during catalysis. This article reports the synthesis and characterization of novel catalyst/peptide hybrids by molecular dynamics (MD simulations of structural dynamics), NMR studies of solution phase structures, and electrochemical studies to measure the activities of new bio-inspired catalysts in the reduction of CO2.

Three Polyborates with High-Symmetry [B12O24] Units Featuring Different Dimensions of Anion Groups.

Project description:Three polyborates, namely, LiNa11B28O48, Li1.45Na7.55B21O36, and Li2Na4Ca7Sr2B13O27F9, were synthesized via the high-temperature solution method. All of them feature high-symmetry [B12O24] units, yet their anion groups exhibit distinct dimensions. LiNa11B28O48 features a three-dimensional anionic structure of 3[B28O48]∞ framework, which is composed of three units: [B12O24], [B15O30], and [BO3]. Li1.45Na7.55B21O36 possesses a one-dimensional anionic structure of 1[B21O36]∞ chain consisting of [B12O24] and [B9O18] units. The anionic structure of Li2Na4Ca7Sr2B13O27F9 is composed of two zero-dimensional isolated units, namely, [B12O24] and [BO3]. The novel FBBs [B15O30] and [B21O39] are present in LiNa11B28O48 and Li1.45Na7.55B21O36, respectively. The anionic groups in these compounds exhibit a high degree of polymerization, thereby augmenting the structural diversity of borates. And the crystal structure, synthesis, thermal stability, and optical properties were meticulously discussed to guide the synthesis and characterization of novel polyborates.

Conformational Analysis Explores the Role of Electrostatic Nonclassical CF···HC Hydrogen Bonding Interactions in Selectively Halogenated Cyclohexanes.

Project description:The conformational equilibria of selectively halogenated cyclohexanes are explored both experimentally (VT-NMR) for 1,1,4,-trifluorocyclohexane 7 and by computational analysis (M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level), with the latter approach extending to a wider range of more highly fluorinated cyclohexanes. Perhaps unexpectedly, 7ax is preferred over the 7eq conformation by ΔG = 1.06 kcal mol-1, contradicting the accepted norm for substituents on cyclohexanes. The axial preference is stronger again in 1,1,3,3,4,5,5,-heptafluorocyclohexane 9 (ΔG = 2.73 kcal mol-1) as the CF2 groups further polarize the isolated CH2 hydrogens. Theoretical decomposition of electrostatic and hyperconjugative effects by natural bond orbital analysis indicated that nonclassical hydrogen bonding (NCHB) between the C-4 fluorine and the diaxial hydrogens at C-2 and C-6 in cyclohexane 7 and 9 largely accounts for the observed bias. The study extended to changing fluorine (F) for chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) at the pseudoanomeric position in the cyclohexanes. Although these halogens do not become involved in NCHBs, they polarize the geminal -CHX- hydrogen at the pseudoanomeric position to a greater extent than fluorine, and consequent electrostatic interactions influence conformer stabilities.

Secondary Sphere Hydrogen Bonding in Monocopper Complexes of Potentially Dinucleating Bis(carboxamide) Ligands.

Project description:Reaction of a macrocyclic ligand precursor comprising two bis(carboxamido)pyridine units (H4L4) connected by ethylene linkers with NMe4OH and CuX2 (X = Cl, OAc, or OTf) yielded monocopper complexes [NMe4][(H2L4)Cu(X)] (X = Cl (3), OAc (4), or OH (5)), in contrast to previous work using a related ligand with ortho-phenylene linkers wherein dicopper compounds were isolated. X-ray structures of the complexes revealed hydrogen bonding from the free carboxamide N-H groups in the doubly protonated form of the ligand (H2L4- ) to the monodentate fourth ligand coordinated to the Cu(II) ion. Similar secondary sphere hydrogen bonding interactions were identified in multinuclear compounds [NMe4]2[((H2L4)Cu)n(CO3)] (n = 2 or 3) that were isolated from exposure of 5 to air. Cyclic voltammetry revealed oxidations of 3 and 5 at potentials ~300 mV higher than analogous monocopper complexes of bis(arylcarboxamido)pyridine ligands which lack the intramolecular hydrogen bonds, consistent with removal of electron density from the metal center by the hydrogen bonding array. Another ligand variant (H4L5) with ortho-phenylene linkers and only one bis(carboxamido)pyridine moiety yielded monocopper complexes [NMe4][(H2L5)Cu(OAc)] • DMF (8) and [NMe4][(H2L5)CuCl)] • CH3CN (9), but the X-ray structures revealed a different hydrogen bonding arrangement to the solvate molecules. Nonetheless, a high redox potential for 9 was observed, consistent with intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in solution.

Theoretical insight into OH- and Cl-initiated oxidation of CF3OCH(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2H &fate of CF3OC(X•)(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2X• radicals (X=O, O2).

Project description:In this study, the mechanistic and kinetic analysis for reactions of CF3OCH(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2H with OH radicals and Cl atoms have been performed at the CCSD(T)//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Kinetic isotope effects for reactions CF3OCH(CF3)2/CF3OCD(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2H/CF3OCF2CF2D with OH and Cl were estimated so as to provide the theoretical estimation for future laboratory investigation. All rate constants, computed by canonical variational transition state theory (CVT) with the small-curvature tunneling correction (SCT), are in reasonable agreement with the limited experimental data. Standard enthalpies of formation for the species were also calculated. Atmospheric lifetime and global warming potentials (GWPs) of the reaction species were estimated, the large lifetimes and GWPs show that the environmental impact of them cannot be ignored. The organic nitrates can be produced by the further oxidation of CF3OC(•)(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2• in the presence of O2 and NO. The subsequent decomposition pathways of CF3OC(O•)(CF3)2 and CF3OCF2CF2O• radicals were studied in detail. The derived Arrhenius expressions for the rate coefficients over 230-350?K are: k T(1)?=?5.00?×?10-24T3.57 exp(-849.73/T), k T(2)?=?1.79?×?10-24T4.84 exp(-4262.65/T), kT(3)?=?1.94?×?10-24 T4.18 exp(-884.26/T), and k T(4)?=?9.44?×?10-28T5.25 exp(-913.45/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1.
