Mó O, Montero-Campillo MM, Yáñez M, Alkorta I, Elguero J. Discovering trends in the Lewis acidity of beryllium and magnesium hydrides and fluorides with increasing clusters size. J Comput Chem 2024; 45:1702-1715. [PMID: 38567760 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.27356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
We have reported in the last years the strong effect that Be- and Mg-containing Lewis acids have on the intrinsic properties of typical bases, which become acids upon complexation. In an effort to investigate these changes when the Be and Mg derivatives form clusters of increasing size, we have examined the behavior of the (MX2)n (M = Be, Mg; X = H, F; n = 1, 2, 3) clusters when they interact with ammonia, methanimine, hydrogen cyanide and pyridine, and with their corresponding deprotonated forms. The complexes obtained at the M06-2X/aug-cc-pVTZ level were analyzed using the MBIE energy decomposition formalism, in parallel with QTAIM, ELF, NCIPLOT and AdNDP analyses of their electron density. For n = 1 the interaction enthalpy for the different families of monomers, Be (Mg) hydrides and Be (Mg) fluorides, follows the same trend as the intrinsic basicity of the base that interacts with them. This interaction is greatly reinforced after the deprotonation of the base, resulting in a significant enhancement of the intrinsic acidity of the corresponding MX2-Base complex. For (MX2)2 clusters a further reinforcement of the interaction with the base is observed, this reinforcement being again larger for the deprotonated complexes. However, the concomitant increase of their intrinsic acidity is one order of magnitude larger for hydrides than for fluorides. Unexpectedly, the cyclic conformers (MX2)3, which are more unstable than the linear ones, become the global minima after association with the base and the same is true for the deprotonated complex. Accordingly, a further increase of the intrinsic acidity of the (MX2)3-Base complexes with respect to the (MX2)2-Base ones is observed. This effect is maximum for (MgF2)3 clusters, to the point that the (MgF2)3-Base complexes become more acidic than nitric acid, the extreme case being the cluster (MgF2)3-NCH, whose acidity is higher than that of perchloric acid.

Abstract
Controlling the multi-level assembly and morphological properties of conjugated polymers through structural manipulation has contributed significantly to the advancement of organic electronics. In this work, a redox active conjugated polymer, TPT-TT, composed of alternating 1,4-(2-thienyl)-2,5-dialkoxyphenylene (TPT) and thienothiophene (TT) units is reported with non-covalent intramolecular S⋯O and S⋯H-C interactions that induce controlled main-chain planarity and solid-state order. As confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, these intramolecular interactions influence the main chain conformation, promoting backbone planarization, while still allowing dihedral rotations at higher kinetic energies (higher temperature), and give rise to temperature-dependent aggregation properties. Thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) behavior is confirmed by cross-polarized optical microscopy (CPOM) and closely correlated with multiple thermal transitions observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This LC behavior allows us to develop and utilize a thermal annealing treatment that results in thin films with notable long-range order, as shown by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). Specifically, we identified a first LC phase, ranging from 218 °C to 107 °C, as a nematic phase featuring preferential face-on π-π stacking and edge-on lamellar stacking exhibiting a large extent of disorder and broad orientation distribution. A second LC phase is observed from 107 °C to 48 °C, as a smectic A phase featuring sharp, highly ordered out-of-plane lamellar stacking features and sharp tilted backbone stacking peaks, while the structure of a third LC phase with a transition at 48 °C remains unclear, but resembles that of the solid state at ambient temperature. Furthermore, the significance of thermal annealing is evident in the ∼3-fold enhancement of the electrical conductivity of ferric tosylate-doped annealed films reaching 55 S cm-1. More importantly, thermally annealed TPT-TT films exhibit both a narrow distribution of charge-carrier mobilities (1.4 ± 0.1) × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 along with a remarkable device yield of 100% in an organic field-effect transistor (OFET) configuration. This molecular design approach to obtain highly ordered conjugated polymers in the solid state affords a deeper understanding of how intramolecular interactions and repeat-unit symmetry impact liquid crystallinity, solution aggregation, solution to solid-state transformation, solid-state morphology, and ultimately device applications.

Abstract
At present, mainstream room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission relies on organic materials with long-range charge-transfer effects; therefore, exploring new forms of charge transfer to generate RTP is worth studying. In this work, indole-carbazole was used as the core to ensure the narrowband fluorescence emission of the material based on its characteristic short-range charge-transfer effect. In addition, halogenated carbazoles were introduced into the periphery to construct long-range charge transfer, resulting in VTCzNL-Cl and VTCzNL-Br. By encapsulating these phosphors into a robust host (TPP), two host-guest crystalline systems were further developed, achieving efficient RTP performance with phosphorescence quantum yields of 26% and phosphorescence lifetimes of 3.2 and 39.2 ms, respectively.

Abstract
A series of simple [Pt(SCN)4]2- salts with a variety of cations was synthesized and characterized using X-ray crystallography to determine factors that could induce platinophilic interactions between [Pt(SCN)4]2- anions, including cation size and shape, charge, and ability to participate in hydrogen bonding. The salts [N(PPh3)2]2[Pt(SCN)4], [AsPh4]2[Pt(SCN)4], and [Co(1,10-phenanthroline)3][Pt(SCN)4] feature bulky, noncoordinating cations where the [Pt(SCN)4]2- anions are completely separated from each other, with no Pt-Pt interactions present. Salts containing the hydrogen-bonding cations [Co(NH3)6]2[Pt(SCN)4]3 and [Co(en)3]2[Pt(SCN)4]3 (en = 1,2-ethylenediamine) display close Pt-Pt distances, with both compounds exhibiting platinophilic interactions with distances of 3.373(2) and 3.539(8) Å, respectively, the first reported platinophilic interactions with the [Pt(SCN)4]2- unit. [Co(en)3]2[Pt(SCN)4]3 also presents intermolecular chalcogen S···S and Pt···S interactions, resulting in increased dimensionality while also assisting in assembling the platinophilic interaction. The compounds are emissive at 77 K in the solid state, exhibiting a d-d metal-centered transition regardless of whether or not any platinophilic interactions are present. Overall, hydrogen-bonding cations are most likely to promote close proximity of the Pt(II) metal centers and induce the formation of platinophilic interactions in [Pt(SCN)4]2-.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2R) to feedstocks competes with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) immobilized onto carbon driven by π-π interaction represents a classical type of heterogeneous molecular catalyst for CO2R. However, the impacts of π conjugation on the electrocatalysis have not been clarified. Herein, the electrochemical properties of CoPc were investigated by comparison of its analogue to 2,3-naphthalocyanine cobalt (NapCo) having extended π conjugation. It is found that CoPc is redox-active on carbon to provide low oxidized Co sites for improving the CO2R activity and selectivity, while NapCo on carbon turned out to be redox-inert leading to lower performance. In addition, the redox-mediated mechanism for CO2R on CoPc tends to operate with increasing electrolyte alkalinity, which further enhances the reaction selectivity. We speculated that moderate π conjugation allows the redox-mediated mechanism on CoPc, which is critical to promote CO2R performance while depressing the competing HER.

Abstract
An efficient palladium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of 3-iodochromones, bridged olefins, and iodomethane is described, affording a range of chromone-containing polycyclic compounds. Additionally, the corresponding deuterated products were smoothly obtained with iodomethane-d3 instead of iodomethane. Moreover, the synthetic utility of this method is further substantiated by gram scale preparation and application to late-stage modification of estrone.

Abstract
A computational and spectroscopic analysis of weakly bound complexes of 1:1 γ-butyrolactone with water has been completed. In this work, multiple density-functional theories and perturbation theory were used to explore the energy-landscape of the complex. Four unique structures were identified in this analysis. One structure was characterized by the formation of a water to carbonyl hydrogen bond and the other three were formed from water to ester hydrogen bonds. The carbonyl-bound conformation was found to be the global minimum across a comprehensive panel of calculations. A wave function analysis demonstrated that the structures were additionally stabilized by weak van der Waals interactions. FTIR spectroscopy of matrix-isolated samples indicated the presence of at least two of the calculated geometries. The structures were identified to be a carbonyl-bound and at least one ester-bound structure. The transitions identified for the carbonyl-bound complex were noted to be significantly more intense than those of the ester bound, indicating greater prevalence in the matrix.

Abstract
A new family of luminescent heteroleptic Ru(II)-terpyridine complexes coupled with stilbene-appended naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene motifs is reported. Each of the complexes features moderately intense emission at room temperature having a lifetime of 16.7 ns for naphthalene and 11.4 ns for anthracene, while a substantially elevated lifetime of 8.3 μs was observed for the pyrene derivative. All the three complexes display a reversible couple in the positive potential window due to Ru2+/Ru3+ oxidation but multiple reversible and/or quasi-reversible peaks in the negative potential domain because of the reduction of the terpyridine moieties. All the complexes selectively sense F- among the studied anions via the intermediary of different noncovalent interactions. The interaction event is monitored through absorption, emission, and 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, upon utilizing the stilbene motif, reversible trans-cis isomerization of the complexes has been undertaken upon alternate treatment of visible and UV light so that the complexes can act as potential photomolecular switches. We also carried out the anion sensing characterization of the cis form of the complexes. Theoretical calculation employing density functional theory is also executed for a selective complex (naphthalene derivative) to elucidate different noncovalent interactions that are operative during the complex-fluoride interplay.

Abstract
CONTEXT The intricate challenges posed by SO2 gas underscore the imperative for meticulous monitoring and detection due to its adverse effects on health, the environment, and equipment integrity. Hence, this research endeavors to delve deeply into the intricate realm of transition-metals functionalized sulfur-doped porphyrins (S@PPR) surfaces through a comprehensive computational study. The electronic properties revealed that upon adsorption, Ir_S@PPR surface reflects the least energy gap of 0.109 eV at the O-site of adsorptions, indicating an increase in electrical conductivity which is a better adsorption trait. Owing to the negative adsorption energy observed, the adsorption behavior is described as chemisorption, with the greatest adsorption energy of - 10.306 eV for Ir_S@PPR surface at the S-site of adsorption. Based on the mechanistic attributes, iridium-functionalized S@PPR surface is a promising detecting material towards the sensing of SO2 gas. This report will provide useful insight for experimental researchers in selecting and engineering materials to be used as detectors for SO2 gas pollutant. METHOD All theoretical investigations were carried out using density functional theory (DFT), calculated at PW6B95-D3/GenECP/Def2svp/LanL2DZ computational method.

Abstract
The nature of (imide)N-X⋯N(pyridine) halogen-bonded complexes formed by six N-haloimides and sixteen 2-substituted pyridines are studied using X-ray crystallography (68 crystal structures), Density Functional Theory (DFT) (86 complexation energies), and NMR spectroscopy (90 association constants). Strong halogen bond (XB) donors such as N-iodosuccinimide form only 1:1 haloimide:pyridine crystalline complexes, but even stronger N-iodosaccharin forms 1:1 haloimide:pyridine and three other distinct complexes. In 1:1 haloimide:pyridine crystalline complexes, the haloimide's N─X bond exhibits an unusual bond bending feature that is larger for stronger N-haloimides. DFT complexation energies (ΔEXB ) for iodoimide-pyridine complexes range from -44 to -99 kJ mol-1 , while for N-bromoimide-pyridine, they are between -31 and -77 kJ mol-1 . The ΔEXB of I⋯N XBs in 1:1 iodosaccharin:pyridine complexes are the largest of their kind, but they are substantially smaller than those in [bis(saccharinato)iodine(I)]pyridinium salts (-576 kJ mol-1 ), formed by N-iodosaccharin and pyridines. The NMR association constants and ΔEXB energies of 1:1 haloimide:pyridine complexes do not correlate as these complexes in solution are heavily influenced by secondary interactions, which DFT studies do not account for. Association constants follow the σ-hole strengths of N-haloimides, which agree with DFT and crystallography data. The haloimide:2-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine complex undergoes a halogenation reaction resulting in 5-iodo-2-dimethylaminopyridine.

Abstract
Based on 2-phenylbenzothiazole (pbt) and 2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole (Me2N-pbt), mononuclear [Pt(pbt)(R'2-pzH)2]PF6 (R'2-pzH = pzH 1a, 3,5-Me2pzH 1b, 3,5-iPr2pzH 1c) and diplatinum (PtII-PtII) [Pt(pbt)(μ-R'2pz)]2 (R'2-pz = pz 2a, 3,5-Me2pz 2b, 3,5-iPr2pz 2c) and [Pt(Me2N-pbt)(μ-pz)]2 (3a) complexes have been prepared. In the presence of sunlight, 2a and 3a evolve, in CHCl3 solution, to form the PtIII-PtIII complexes [Pt(R-pbt)(μ-pz)Cl]2 (R = H 4a, NMe2 5a). Experimental and computational studies reveal the negligible influence of the pyrazole or pyrazolate ligands on the optical properties of 1a-c and 2a,b, which exhibit a typical 3IL/3MLCT emission, whereas in 2c the emission has some 3MMLCT contribution. 3a displays unusual dual, fluorescence (1ILCT or 1MLCT/1LC), and phosphorescence (3ILCT) emissions depending on the excitation wavelength. The phosphorescence is lost in aerated solutions due to sensitization of 3O2 and formation of 1O2, whose determined quantum yield is also wavelength dependent. The phosphorescence can be reversibly photoinduced (365 nm, ∼ 15 min) in oxygenated THF and DMSO solutions. In 4a and 5a, the lowest electronic transitions (S1-S3) have mixed characters (LMMCT/LXCT/L'XCT 4a and LMMCT/LXCT/ILCT 5a) and they are weakly emissive in rigid media. The 1O2 generation property of complex 3a is successfully used for the photooxidation of p-bromothioanisol showing its potential application toward photocatalysis.

Rapid Charge Transfer Enabled by Noncovalent Interaction through Guest Insertion in Supercapacitors based on Covalent Organic Frameworks. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202313970. [PMID: 37953692 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202313970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been proposed for electrochemical energy storage, although the poor conductivity resulted from covalent bonds limits their practical performance. Here, we propose to introduce noncovalent bonds in COFs through a molecular insertion strategy for improving the conductivity of the COFs as supercapacitor. The synthesized COFs (MI-COFs) establish equilibriums between covalent bonds and noncovalent bonds, which construct a continuous charge transfer channel to enhance the conductivity. The rapid charge transfer rate enables the COFs to activate the redox sites, bringing about excellent electrochemical energy storage behavior. The results show that the MI-COFs exhibit much better performance in specific capacitance and capacity retention rate than those of most COFs-based supercapacitors. Moreover, through simply altering inserted guests, the mode and strength of noncovalent bond can be adjusted to obtain different energy storage characteristics. The introduction of noncovalent bonds is an effective and flexible way to enhance and regulate the properties of COFs, providing a valuable direction for the development of novel COFs-based energy storage materials.

Abstract
A novel series of copolymers made from alternating aromatic surrogates with contorted and spiro compounds, denoted as BCP1-3, was successfully synthesized employing a palladium-catalyzed one-pot [3 + 2] cyclopentannulation reaction. The resulting copolymers BCP1-3, which were isolated in high yields, exhibited weight-average molecular weights (Mw) ranging from 11.0 to 61.5 kg mol-1 (kDa) and polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) values in the range of 1.7 and 2.0, which suggest a narrow molecular weight distribution, thus indicating the formation of uniform copolymer chains. Investigation of the thermal properties of BCP1-3 by thermogravimetric analysis disclosed outstanding stability with 10% weight loss temperature values reaching 800 °C. Iodine adsorption tests revealed remarkable results, particularly for BCP2, which demonstrated a strong affinity toward iodine reaching an uptake of 2900 mg g-1. Additionally, recyclability tests showcased the effective regeneration of BCP2 after several successive iodine adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
The molecular engineering of conjugated systems has proven to be an effective method for understanding structure-property relationships toward the advancement of optoelectronic properties and biosensing characteristics. Herein, a series of three thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD)-based conjugated monomers, modified with electron-rich selenophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), or both building blocks (Se-TPD, EDOT-TPD, and EDOT-Se-TPD), were synthesized using Stille cross-coupling and electrochemically polymerized, and their electrochromic properties and applications in a glucose biosensing platform were explored. The influence of structural modification on electrochemical, electronic, optical, and biosensing properties was systematically investigated. The results showed that the cyclic voltammograms of EDOT-containing materials displayed a high charge capacity over a wide range of scan rates representing a quick charge propagation, making them appropriate materials for high-performance supercapacitor devices. UV-Vis studies revealed that EDOT-based materials presented wide-range absorptions, and thus low optical band gaps. These two EDOT-modified materials also exhibited superior optical contrasts and fast switching times, and further displayed multi-color properties in their neutral and fully oxidized states, enabling them to be promising materials for constructing advanced electrochromic devices. In the context of biosensing applications, a selenophene-containing polymer showed markedly lower performance, specifically in signal intensity and stability, which was attributed to the improper localization of biomolecules on the polymer surface. Overall, we demonstrated that relatively small changes in the structure had a significant impact on both optoelectronic and biosensing properties for TPD-based donor-acceptor polymers.
