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.

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.

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%.

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).

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.

The crystal structure comprises [Ni(bpy)3]2+ complex cations, two centrosymmetric crystallographically independent TCNQ ·- anion radicals with ?-stacked exo groups, and an additional dimeric TCNQ-TCNQ unit which comprises 75.3?(9)% of a ?-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion and 24.7?(9)% of two TCNQ·- anion radicals with tightly ?-stacked exo groups. The title complex represents the first example of an NiII complex containing a ?-dimerized (TCNQ-TCNQ)2- dianion. Disordered solvent water mol-ecules present in the crystal structure participate in hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

Chemical Interaction, Space-charge Layer and Molecule Charging Energy for a TiO2/TCNQ Interface.

Project description:Three driving forces control the energy level alignment between transition-metal oxides and organic materials: the chemical interaction between the two materials, the organic electronegativity and the possible space charge layer formed in the oxide. This is illustrated in this study by analyzing experimentally and theoretically a paradigmatic case, the TiO2(110) / TCNQ interface: due to the chemical interaction between the two materials, the organic electron affinity level is located below the Fermi energy of the n-doped TiO2. Then, one electron is transferred from the oxide to this level and a space charge layer is developed in the oxide inducing an important increase in the interface dipole and in the oxide work-function.

Effect of Charge and Phosphine Ligands on the Electronic Structure of the Au8 Cluster.

Project description:In this work, we use density functional theory calculations with a hybrid exchange-correlation functional and effective core pseudopotentials to determine the geometry of bare and phosphine-protected Au8 nanoclusters and characterize their electronic structure. Au8 clusters were bonded to four and eight PH3 ligands in order to evaluate the effect of ligand concentration on the electronic structure, while different positional configurations were also tried for four ligands attached to the cluster. We show that the neutral clusters become more nucleophilic as the ligands bind to the clusters at stable sites. The ground-state planar configuration of Au8 is maintained depending on the concentration and position of ligands. The effect of ionizing to the +2 charge state results in disruption of planar geometry in some cases because of inoccupation of a molecular orbital with the Au-Au bonding character. Natural bond order charge analyses showed that Au atoms oxidize upon ionization, instead of phosphine. The net positive charge makes the clusters more electrophilic with a capacity to absorb electrons from nucleophiles depending on the concentration and position of ligands and on the concentration of low-coordinated gold atoms. Besides, ionization energies and electron affinities were calculated through different mechanisms, finding that both variables are much higher for charged systems and change inversely with the concentration of ligands.

On the Nature of σ-σ, σ-π, and π-π Stacking in Extended Systems.

Project description:Stacking interactions have been evaluated, employing computational methods, in dimers formed by analogous aliphatic and aromatic species of increasing size. Changes in stability as the systems become larger are mostly controlled by the balance of increasing repulsion and dispersion contributions, while electrostatics plays a secondary but relevant role. The interaction energy increases as the size of the system grows, but it does much faster in π-π dimers than in σ-π complexes and more remarkably than in σ-σ dimers. The main factor behind the larger stability of aromatic dimers compared to complexes containing aliphatic molecules is related to changes in the properties of the aromatic systems due to electron delocalization leading to larger dispersion contributions. Besides, an extra stabilization in π-π complexes is due to the softening of the repulsive wall in aromatic species that allows the molecules to come closer.

Charge Engineering of Mo2C@Defect-Rich N-Doped Carbon Nanosheets for Efficient Electrocatalytic H2 Evolution.

Project description:Charge engineering of carbon materials with many defects shows great potential in electrocatalysis, and molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) is one of the noble-metal-free electrocatalysts with the most potential. Herein, we study the Mo2C on pyridinic nitrogen-doped defective carbon sheets (MoNCs) as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Theoretical calculations imply that the introduction of Mo2C produces a graphene wave structure, which in some senses behaves like N doping to form localized charges. Being an active electrocatalyst, MoNCs demonstrate a Tafel slope as low as 60.6 mV dec-1 and high durability of up to 10 h in acidic media. Besides charge engineering, plentiful defects and hierarchical morphology also contribute to good performance. This work underlines the importance of charge engineering to boost catalytic performance.
