RESUMO
Supramolecular chemistry under mechanochemical conditions has drawn attention because it can induce low-solubility molecules to self-assemble, although most of the reported examples have been limited to two-component systems. We applied mechanochemical synthesis to achieve multimolecular self-assembly in more challenging three-component systems. The produced crystals showed multicolor solid-state luminescence depending on the components when exposed to UV light. Optical outputs and X-ray diffraction studies were used to examine the self-assembling behavior in greater depth. Using synchrotron radiation, in situ X-ray diffraction permitted direct observation of the milling process, which started the self-assembly process within 1â min. This research emphasizes the importance of multicomponent molecules with optical functions and self-assembling behavior and offers the possibility of developing more complicated multicomponent crystals and organic solid solutions for advanced materials.
RESUMO
X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and theoretical calculations were used to investigate the relationship between the optical properties and degree of protonation in acid-base complexes. We prepared five acid-base complexes by using a pyridine-modified pyrrolopyrrole derivative and salicylic acid. Two of the prepared acid-base complexes were polymorphs of guest-free crystals with green emission; the other three were guest-inclusion crystals with yellow emission containing CH2 Cl2 , CH2 Br2 , or C2 H4 Cl2 . The presence or absence of guests caused the emission to change color, altering the hydrogen bond strength between the acid-base complexes. Accurate Nâ â â H distances between the pyridyl moiety and the carboxy group over the temperature range 123 to 273â K were 1.40â Å for the guest-free crystals and 1.25â Å for the guest-inclusion crystals. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex relationship between photofunction and proton dynamics in acid-base complexes.
RESUMO
The B12 derivative, heptamethyl cobyrinate, -mediated electrochemical synthesis of cyanoformamides has been developed. Aerobic oxygenation of the carbon-centered radical initiated in situ generation of the reactive acyl chloride intermediate, which led to cyanoformamides in the presence of an amine. This one-pot and scalable synthetic method has been demonstrated with 41 examples up to 94% yields with 21 new compounds. The mechanism of electrolysis mediated by the B12 derivative has been proposed based on the DFT calculations.
