Supramolecular Chemistry Based on [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ , A Versatile Building Block

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2004
Maxim N. Sokolov
Abstract The cluster [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ (which is present in solutions of [W3S4(H2O)9]4+ in 1,4 M HCl) reacts with the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril (C36H36N24O12) to form supramolecular adducts of 2:1 cluster/cucurbituril stoichiometry, where two portals of cucurbituril (which contains a water molecule in its cavity) are closed by two cluster cations. These aggregates are bound together in the solid by complementary hydrogen bonds between coordinated Cl, and the cations H9O4+ to give chains. Thus, a supramolecular architecture is achieved from three different but complementary building blocks. The packing of the chains affords a honeycomb structure (hexagonal symmetry) with channels (about 5.2 Å in diameter). The overall stoichiometry is (H9O4){[W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]2(C36H36N24O12)}Cl3·16.15H2O (1). [W3S4(H2O)6Cl3]+ reacts with SbCl3 in 6 M HCl to give cuboidal [W3(SbCl3)S4(H2O)6Cl3]+, which forms with the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbituril a 2:1 cluster/cucurbituril adduct , a discrete supramolecule consisting of five independent molecular units. In the solid it crystallizes as a salt of very rare anion [SbCl6]3, with the stoichiometry {[W3(SbCl3)S4(H2O)6Cl3]2(C36H36N24O12)}(SbCl6)2/3·12H2O (2). (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Chelating Dialkoxide Titanium Complex: A Versatile Building Block for the Construction of Heterometallic Derivatives

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 10 2007
Rosa Fandos Dr.
Abstract The heterometallic complex [TiCp*(O2Bz)2AlMe2] (2) has been synthesised by reaction of [TiCp*(O2Bz)(OBzOH)] (1) with AlMe3 (Cp*=,5 -C5Me5; Bz=benzyl). Complex 1 reacts with HOTf to yield the cationic derivative [TiCp*(OBzOH)2]OTf (3) (HOTf=HSO3CF3). Compound 3 reacts with [{M(,-OH)(cod)}2] (M=Rh, Ir; cod=cyclooctadiene) to render the early,late heterometallic complexes [TiCp*(O2Bz)2{M(cod)}2]OTf (M=Rh (4); Ir (5)). The molecular structure of complex 4 has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. [source]

S- Thiazolinyl (STaz) Glycosides as Versatile Building Blocks for Convergent Selective, Chemoselective, and Orthogonal Oligosaccharide Synthesis

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 25 2006
Papapida Pornsuriyasak
Abstract In the aim of developing new procedures for efficient oligosaccharide assembly, a range of S- thiazolinyl (STaz) glycosides have been synthesized. These novel derivatives were evaluated against a variety of reaction conditions and were shown to be capable of being chemoselectively activated in the armed,disarmed fashion. Moreover, the S- thiazolinyl moiety exhibited a remarkable propensity for selective activation over other common leaving groups. Conversely, a variety of leaving groups could be selectively activated over the STaz moiety, which, in turn, allowed STaz/S- ethyl and STaz/S- phenyl orthogonal approaches. To demonstrate versatility of novel STaz derivatives, a number of oligosaccharide targets have been synthesized in a convergent selective, orthogonal, and chemoselective fashion. [source]


Photoresponsive Self-Assembly and Self-Organization of Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Tapes

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 15 2006
Shiki Yagai Dr.
Abstract Self-assembling building blocks that are readily functionalizable and capable of achieving programmed hierarchical organization have enabled us to create various functional nanomaterials. We have previously demonstrated that N,N, -disubstituted 4,6-diaminopyrimidin-2(1,H)-one (DAP), a guanine,cytosine hybridized molecule, is a versatile building block for the creation of tapelike supramolecular polymer species in solution. In the current study, DAP was functionalized with azobenzene side chains. 1H NMR, UV/Vis, and dynamic light scattering studies confirmed the presence of nanometer-scale tapelike supramolecular polymers in alkane solvents at micromolar regimes. At higher concentrations (millimolar regimes), the supramolecular polymers hierarchically organized into lamellar superstructures to form organogels, as shown by X-ray diffraction and polarized optical microscopy. Remarkably, the azobenzene side chains are photoisomerizable even in the supramolecular polymers, owing to their loosely packed state supported by the rigid hydrogen-bonded scaffold, enabling us to establish photocontrollable supramolecular polymerization and higher order organization of the tapelike supramolecular polymers into lamellar superstructures.

Zinc-Salen-Catalyzed Asymmetric Alkynylation of Alkyl Acylsilanes

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 11-12 2009
Feng-Quan Li
Abstract Optically active tertiary propargylic alcohols are useful and versatile building blocks in organic synthesis, and their direct access by enantioselective addition of alkyne nucleophiles to ketones has achieved significant progress over the last ten years. In view of the potential applications of acylsilanes as useful synthetic equivalents of aldehydes, we described a general catalytic enantioselective addition of terminal alkynes to alkyl acylsilanes. After reaction optimization involving variation of solvent, temperature, catalyst ratio and various catalysts screen, the in situ generated Zn-salen complex was chosen as catalyst. With hexane as solvent, the silylated tertiary propargylic alcohols were obtained in satisfactory yields and ees for both aliphatic and aromatic alkynes. [source]
