Electron-Rich Diruthenium Complexes with π-Extended Alkenyl Ligands and Their F₄ TCNQ Charge-Transfer Salts.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of dinuclear ruthenium alkenyl complexes with {Ru(CO)(Pⁱ Pr₃ )₂ (L)} entities (L=Cl^- in complexes Ru₂ -3 and Ru₂ -7; L=acetylacetonate (acac^- ) in complexes Ru₂ -4 and Ru₂ -8) and with π-conjugated 2,7-divinylphenanthrenediyl (Ru₂ -3, Ru₂ -4) or 5,8-divinylquinoxalinediyl (Ru₂ -7, Ru₂ -8) as bridging ligands are reported. The bridging ligands are laterally π-extended by anellating a pyrene (Ru₂ -7, Ru₂ -8) or a 6,7-benzoquinoxaline (Ru₂ -3, Ru₂ -4) π-perimeter. This was done with the hope that the open π-faces of the electron-rich complexes will foster association with planar electron acceptors via π-stacking. The dinuclear complexes were subjected to cyclic and square-wave voltammetry and were characterized in all accessible redox states by IR, UV/Vis/NIR and, where applicable, by EPR spectroscopy. These studies signified the one-electron oxidized forms of divinylphenylene-bridged complexes Ru₂ -7, Ru₂ -8 as intrinsically delocalized mixed-valent species, and those of complexes Ru₂ -3 and Ru₂ -4 with the longer divinylphenanthrenediyl linker as partially localized on the IR, yet delocalized on the EPR timescale. The more electron-rich acac^- congeners formed non-conductive 1 : 1 charge-transfer (CT) salts on treatment with the F₄ TCNQ electron acceptor. All spectroscopic techniques confirmed the presence of pairs of complex radical cations and F₄ TCNQ^.- radical anions in these CT salts, but produced no firm evidence for the relevance of π-stacking to their formation and properties.

Project description:Crystallization from an aqueous methanol system composed of Ni(NO3)2, 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and LiTCNQ (TCNQ is 7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane) in a 1:3:2 molar ratio yielded single crystals of bis-[tris-(2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ2N,N')nickel(II)] bis-(7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quinodi-methane radical anion) bi[7,7,8,8-tetra-cyano-quino-dimethanide] hexa-hydrate, [Ni(C10H8N2)3]2(C24H8N8)(C12H4N4)2·6H2O or [Ni(bpy)3]2(TCNQ-TCNQ)(TCNQ)2·6H2O. The crystal structure comprises [Ni(bpy)3]2+ complex cations, two centrosymmetric crystallographically independent TCNQ ·- anion radicals with π-stacked exo groups, and an additional dimeric TCNQ-TCNQ unit which comprises 75.3 (9)% of a σ-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion and 24.7 (9)% of two TCNQ·- anion radicals with tightly π-stacked exo groups. The title complex represents the first example of an NiII complex containing a σ-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion. Disordered solvent water mol-ecules present in the crystal structure participate in hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

Ionic Charge-Transfer Liquid Crystals Formed by Alternating Supramolecular Copolymerization of Liquid π-Donors and TCNQ.

Project description:A new family of liquid π-donors, lipophilic dihydrophenazine (DHP) derivatives, show remarkably high π-electron-donor property which exhibit supramolecular alternating copolymerization with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), giving ionic charge-transfer (ICT) complexes. The ICT complexes form distinct columnar liquid crystalline (LC) mesophases with well-defined alternating molecular alignment as demonstrated by UV-Vis-NIR spectra, IR spectra, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. These liquid crystalline ICT complexes display unique phase transitions in response to mechanical stress: the columnar ICT phase is converted to macroscopically oriented smectic-like mesophases upon applying shear force. Although there exist reports on the formation of ICT in the crystalline state, this study provides the first rational identification of ICT mesophases based on the spectroscopic and structural data. The liquid crystalline ICT phases are generated by strong electronic interactions between the liquid π-donors and solid acceptors. It clearly shows the significance of simultaneous fulfillment of strong π-donating ability and ordered self-assembly of the stable ICT pairs. The flexible, stimuli-responsive structural transformation of the ICT complexes offer a new perspective for designing processable CT systems with controlled hierarchical self-assembly and electronic structures.

A new platform for development of photosystem I based thin films with superior photocurrent: TCNQ charge transfer salts derived from ZIF-8.

Project description:The transmembrane photosynthetic protein complex Photosystem I (PSI) is highly sought after for incorporation into biohybrid photovoltaic devices due to its remarkable photoactive electrochemical properties, chiefly driving charge separation with ∼1 V potential and ∼100% quantum efficiency. In pursuit of these integrated technologies, three factors must be simultaneously tuned, namely, direct redox transfer steps, three-dimensional coordination and stabilization of PSI aggregates, and interfacial connectivity with conductive pathways. Building on our recent successful encapsulation of PSI in the metal-organic framework ZIF-8, herein we use the zinc and imidazole cations from this precursor to form charge transfer complexes with an extremely strong organic electron acceptor, TCNQ. Specifically, the PSI-Zn-H2mim-TCNQ charge transfer salt complex was drop cast on ITO to form dense films. Subsequent voltammetric cycling induced cation exchange and electrochemical annealing of the film was used to enhance electron conductivity giving rise to a photocurrent in the order of 15 μA cm-2. This study paves the way for a myriad of future opportunities for successful integration of this unique class of charge transfer salt complexes with biological catalysts and light harvesters.

Data on charge-transfer interaction between 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one with PA, CLA, TFQ, DDQ and TCNQ π-acceptors.

Project description:This article is related to a research paper entitled "Exploring the charge-transfer chemistry of fluorine-containing pyrazolin-5-ones: The complexation of 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one with five π-acceptors" [J. Mol. Liq. 331 (2021) 115814] [1]. Herein we present photographic data that showed the color change after mixing methanolic solutions of 1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one (donor) with each of the investigated π-acceptor [picric acid (PA), chloranilic acid (CLA), fluoranil (TFQ), DDQ, and TCNQ]. Stoichiometry data for the interaction of the donor with all acceptors determined in solution state by the spectrophotometric titration method and the Job's continuous variation method were presented. The data presented are useful for understand that the charge-transfer (CT) complexation between a donor and an acceptor, generally, is characterized by a strong color change, and to understand the stoichiometry between these molecules.

Extended π-conjugative n-p type homostructural graphitic carbon nitride for photodegradation and charge-storage applications.

Project description:An n-p type homostructural metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) semiconductor is designed and developed for pollutant abatement and energy storage application. The successful grafting of vibrio-like morphology-based g-C3N4 by 2, 5-Thiophenedicarboxylic acid (TDA) molecule and the development of amide-type linkage substantiated the prosperous uniting of g-C3N4 with organic TDA moiety is demonstrated. An extended π-conjugative TDA grafted g-C3N4 exhibited band gap tunability with broadband optical absorbance in the visible region. Mott-Schottky analysis exhibited the formation of n-p type homostructural property. As a result, obtained TDA grafted g-C3N4 has extended π-conjugation, high surface area and adequate separation of charge carriers. The change in the photocatalytic performance of grafted g-C3N4 is inspected for degradation of acid violet 7 (AV 7) dye under visible light irradiation. The charge storage capacity of grafted g-C3N4 was additionally assessed for supercapacitive behaviour. The charge capacitive studies of grafted g-C3N4 exhibited the areal capacitance of 163.17 mF cm-2 and robust cyclic stability of 1000 cycles with capacity retention of 83%.

Anticancer Potential of Diruthenium Complexes with Bridging Hydrocarbyl Ligands from Bioactive Alkynols.

Project description:Diruthenacyclopentenone complexes of the general composition [Ru2Cp2(CO)2{μ-η1:η3-CH═C(C(OH)(R))C(═O)}] (2a-c; Cp = η5-C5H5) were synthesized in 94-96% yields from the reactions of [Ru2Cp2(CO)2{μ-η1:η3-C(Ph)═C(Ph)C(═O)}] (1) with 1-ethynylcyclopentanol, 17α-ethynylestradiol, and 17-ethynyltestosterone, respectively, in toluene at reflux. Protonation of 2a-c by HBF4 afforded the corresponding allenyl derivatives [Ru2Cp2(CO)3{μ-η1:η2-CH═C═R}]BF4 (3a-c) in 85-93% yields. All products were thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and IR, UV-vis, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additionally, 2a and 3a were investigated by cyclic voltammetry, and the single-crystal diffraction method was employed to establish the X-ray structures of 2b and 3a. The cytotoxicity in vitro of 2b and 3a-c was evaluated against nine human cancer cell lines (A2780, A2780R, MCF-7, HOS, A549, PANC-1, Caco-2, PC-3, and HeLa), while the selectivity was assessed on normal human lung fibroblast (MRC-5). Overall, complexes exert stronger cytotoxicity than cisplatin, and 3b (comprising 17α-estradiol derived ligand) emerged as the best-performing complex. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry cellular uptake studies in A2780 cells revealed a higher level of internalization for 3b and 3c compared to 2b, 3a, and the reference compound RAPTA-C. Experiments conducted on A2780 cells demonstrated a noteworthy impact of 3a and 3b on the cell cycle, leading to the majority of the cells being arrested in the G0/G1 phase. Moreover, 3a moderately induced apoptosis and oxidative stress, while 3b triggered autophagy and mitochondrial membrane potential depletion.

Electron-Rich CpIr(biphenyl-2,2'-diyl) Complexes with π-Accepting Carbon Donor Ligands.

Project description:Cp*IrIII and CpIrIII complexes have attracted interest as catalysts for oxidative transformations, and highly oxidizing iridium species are postulated as key intermediates in both catalytic water and C-H bond oxidation. Strongly electron-donating ligand sets have been shown to stabilize IrIV complexes. We describe the synthesis and reactivity of complexes containing the CpIr(biphenyl-2,2'-diyl) moiety stabilized by a series of strong donor carbon-based ligands. The oxidation chemistry of these complexes has been characterized electrochemically, and a singly oxidized IrIV species has been observed by X-band EPR for the complex CpIr(biph)(p-CNCH2SO2C6H4CH3).

TCNQ-based organic cocrystal integrated red emission and n-type charge transport.

Project description:Simultaneously realizing the optical and electrical properties of organic materials is always challenging. Herein, a convenient and promising strategy for designing organic materials with integrated optoelectronic properties based on cocrystal engineering has been put forward. By selecting the fluorene (Flu) and the 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as functional constituents, the Flu-TCNQ cocrystal prepared shows deep red emission at 702 nm, which is comparable to the commercialized red quantum dot. The highest electron mobility of organic field-effect transistor (OFET) based on Flu-TCNQ is 0.32 cm2 V-1 s-1. Spectroscopic analysis indicates that the intermolecular driving force contributing to the co-assembly of Flu-TCNQ is mainly charge transfer (CT) interaction, which leads to its different optoelectronic properties from constituents.

Single-molecule conductance of a chemically modified, π-extended tetrathiafulvalene and its charge-transfer complex with F4TCNQ.

Project description:We describe the synthesis and single-molecule electrical transport properties of a molecular wire containing a π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (exTTF) group and its charge-transfer complex with F4TCNQ. We form single-molecule junctions using the in situ break junction technique using a homebuilt scanning tunneling microscope with a range of conductance between 10 G0 down to 10(-7) G0. Within this range we do not observe a clear conductance signature of the neutral parent molecule, suggesting either that its conductance is too low or that it does not form a stable junction. Conversely, we do find a clear conductance signature in the experiments carried out on the charge-transfer complex. Due to the fact we expected this species to have a higher conductance than the neutral molecule, we believe this supports the idea that the conductance of the neutral molecule is very low, below our measurement sensitivity. This idea is further supported by theoretical calculations. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first reported single-molecule conductance measurements on a molecular charge-transfer species.
