The present thesis adress the synthesis and characterization of novel COFs that contain dye molecules as integral components of the organic backbone. These chromophore-containing frameworks open new research lines in the field and call for the exploration of applications such as catalysis, sensing, or in optoelectronic devices. Initially, the fabrication of organic-inorganic composites by the growth of DPP TAPP COF around functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles is reported. By varying the ratio between inorganic nanoparticles and organic COFs, optoelectronic properties of the materials are adjusted. The document also reports the synthesis of a novel boron dipyrromethene-containing (BODIPY) COF. Synthesis, full characterization and the scope of potential applications with a focus on environmental remediation are discussed in detail. Last, a novel diketopyrrolopyrrole-containing (DPP) DPP-Py-COF based on the combination of DDP and pyrene building blocks is presented. The very low bandgap of these materials and initial investigations on the photosensitizing properties are discussed.
The present thesis introduce different synthetic strategies towards a variety of polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides (PADIs) with highly interesting and diverse properties. This included tetrachlorinated, tetraaryloxy- and tetraaryl-substituted dicarboximides, fused acceptor‒donor(‒acceptor) structures as well as sterically shielded rylene and nanographene dicarboximides. The properties and thus the disclosure of structure‒property relationships of the resulting dyes were investigated in detail among others with UV‒vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and single crystal X-ray analysis. For instance, some of the fused and substituted PADIs offer strong absorption of visible and near infrared (NIR) light, NIR emission and low-lying LUMO levels. On the contrary, intriguing optical features in the solid-state characterize the rylene dicarboximides with their bulky N-substituents, while the devised sterically enwrapped nanographene host offered remarkable complexation capabilities in solution.
Synthese einer Bibliothek von Aminosäure-basierten Oligopeptid-Amphiphilen mittels Festphasensynthese, deren kovalente Knüpfung an einen nukleophilen Kern zu C3-symmetrischen Sternmesogenen und die Analyse der Einflüsse der verwendeten Aminosäuren auf die Sekundärstruktur des synthetisierten Moleküls.
The present thesis demonstrates how different thermodynamic aspects of self-assembly and stimuli-responsive properties in water can be encoded on the structure of π-amphiphiles, consisting of perylene or naphthalene bisimide cores. Initially, quantitative thermodynamic insights into the entropically-driven self-assembly was studied for a series of naphthalene bisimides with UV/Vis and ITC measurements, which demonstrated that their thermodynamic profile of aggregation is heavily influenced by the OEG side chains. Subsequently, a control over the bifurcated thermal response of entropically driven and commonly observed enthalpically driven self-assembly was achieved by the modulation of glycol chain orientation. Finally, Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) phenomenon observed for these dyes was investigated as a precise control of this behavior is quintessential for self-assembly studies as well as to generate ‘smart’ materials. It could be shown that the onset of phase separation for these molecules can be encoded in their imide substituents, and they are primarily determined by the supramolecular packing, rather than the hydrophobicity of individual monomers.
The aim of the first part of this thesis was to investigate (R,R)-PBI as a model system for polymorphism at its origin by a supramolecular approach. The pathway complexity of (R,R)-PBI was fine-tuned by experimental parameters such as solvent, temperature and concentration to make several supramolecular polymorphs accessible. Mechanistic and quantum chemical studies on the kinetics and thermodynamics of the supramolecular polymerization of (R,R)-PBI were conducted to shed light on the initial stages of polymorphism. The second part of this work deals with mechanistic investigations on the supramolecular polymerization of the racemic mixture of (R,R)- and (S,S)-PBI with regard to homochiral and heterochiral aggregation leading to conglomerates and a racemic supramolecular polymer, respectively.
Inspired by the fact that sufficient solubility in aqueous media can be achieved by functional substitution of perylene bisimides (PBIs) with polar groups, one of the essential aims of this thesis was the design and successful synthesis of the new water-soluble PBI cyclophanes [2PBI]-1m and [2PBI]-1p, which are appended with branched, hydrophilic oligoethylene glycol (OEG) chains. Subsequently, the focus was set on the elucidation of properties of PBI cyclophane hosts which are also of relevance for recognition processes in biological systems. The performance of the new amphiphilic PBI cyclophane [2PBI]-1p as synthetic receptors for various natural aromatic alkaloids in aqueous media was thoroughly investigated. Alkaloids represent a prominent class of ubiquitous nitrogen containing natural compounds with a great structural variety and diverse biological activity. As of yet, no chromophore host acting as a molecular probe for a range of alkaloids such as harmine or harmaline is known. In addition, the self-association behavior of cyclophane host [2PBI]-1m and its reference monomer in water was studied in order to gain insights into the thermodynamic driving forces affecting the self-assembly process of these two PBI systems in aqueous environment. Moreover, the chirality transfer upon guest binding previously observed for a PBI cyclophane was investigated further. The assignment of the underlying mechanism of guest recognition to either the induced fit or conformational selection model was of particular interest.
Supramolecular Block Copolymers by Seeded Living Supramolecular Polymerization of Perylene Bisimides
(2019)
The research on supramolecular polymerization has undergone a rapid development in the last two decades, particularly since supramolecular polymers exhibit a broad variety of functionalities and applications in organic electronics, biological science or as functional materials (Chapter 2.1). Although former studies have focused on investigation of the thermodynamics of supramolecular polymerization (Chapter 2.2), the academic interest in the recent years shifted towards gaining insight into kinetically controlled self-assembly and pathway complexity to generate novel out-of-equilibrium architectures with interesting nanostructures and features (Chapter 2.3). Along this path, the concepts of seeded and living supramolecular polymerization were recently developed to enable the formation of supramolecular polymers with controlled length and low polydispersity under precise kinetic control (Chapter 2.4). Besides that, novel strategies were developed to achieve supramolecular copolymerization resulting in complex multicomponent nanostructures with different structural motives. The classification of these supramolecular copolymers on the basis of literature examples and an overview of previously reported principles to create such supramolecular architectures are provided in Chapter 2.5.
The aim of the thesis was the non-covalent synthesis of highly desirable supramolecular block copolymers by the approach of living seeded supramolecular polymerization and to study the impact of the molecular shape of the monomeric building blocks on the supramolecular copolymerization. Based on the structure of the previously investigated PBI organogelator H-PBI a series of novel PBIs, bearing identical hydrogen-bonding amide side-groups in imide-position and various kind or number of substituents in bay-position, was synthesized and analyzed within this thesis. The new PBIs were successfully obtained in three steps starting from the respective bromo-substituted perylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid tetrabutylesters or from the N,N’-dicyclohexyl-1,7-dibromoperylene-3,4:9,10-tetracarboxylic acid bisimide. All target compounds were obtained in the final step by imidization reactions of the respective perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisanhydride precursors with N-(2-aminoethyl)-3,4,5-tris(dodecyloxy)-benzamide and were fully characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as high resolution mass spectrometry.
The variation of bay-substituents strongly changes the optical properties of the monomeric PBIs which were investigated by UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The increase of the number of the methoxy-substituents provokes, for example, a red-shift of the absorption maxima concomitant with a decrease of extinction coefficients and leads to a drastic increase of the fluorescence quantum yields. Furthermore, the molecular geometry of the PBIs is also affected by variations of the bay-substituents. Thus, increasing the steric demand of the bay-substituents leads to an enlargement of the twist angles of the PBI cores as revealed by DFT calculations.
Especially the 1,7-dimethoxy bay-substituted MeO-PBI proved to be very well-suited for the studies envisioned within this thesis. The self-assembly of this PBI derivative was analyzed in detail by UV/vis, fluorescence and FT-IR spectroscopy as well as atomic force microscopy (Chapter 3). These studies revealed that MeO-PBI forms in a solvent mixture of methylcyclohexane and toluene (2:1, v/v) kinetically trapped off-pathway H-aggregated nanoparticles upon fast cooling of a monomeric solution from 90 to 20 °C. However, upon slow cooling of the monomer solution fluorescent J-type nanofibers are formed by π π interactions and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding.
The kinetically metastable off-pathway H-aggregates can be transformed into the thermodynamically more favored J-type aggregates by addition of seeds, which are produced by ultrasonication of the polymeric nanofibers. Interestingly, the living character of this seed-induced supramolecular polymerization process was proven by a newly designed multicycle polymerization experimental protocol. This living polymerization experiment clearly proves, that the polymerization can only occur at the “active” ends of the polymeric seed and that almost no recombination or chain termination processes are present. Hence, the approach of living supramolecular polymerization enables the formation of supramolecular polymers with controlled length and narrow polydispersity.
In Chapter 4 the copolymerization of MeO-PBI with the structurally similar 1,7-dichloro (Cl-PBI) and 1,7-dimethylthio (MeS-PBI) bay-substituted PBIs is studied in detail. Both PBIs form analogous to MeO-PBI kinetically trapped off-pathway aggregates, which can be converted into the thermodynamically stable supramolecular polymers by seed-induced living supramolecular polymerization under precise kinetic control. However, the stability of the kinetically trapped aggregates of Cl-PBI and MeS-PBI is distinctly reduced compared to that of MeO-PBI, because the π-π-interactions of the kinetically metastable aggregates are hampered through the increased twisting of the PBI-cores of the former PBIs. UV/vis studies revealed that the two-component seeded copolymerization of the kinetically trapped state of MeO-PBI with seeds of Cl-PBI leads to the formation of unprecedented supramolecular block copolymers with A-B-A pattern by a living supramolecular polymerization process at the termini of the seeds. Remarkably, the resulting A-B-A block pattern of the obtained copolymers was clearly confirmed by atomic force microscopy studies as the respective blocks formed by the individual monomeric units could be distinguished by the pitches of the helical nanofibers.
Moreover, detailed UV/vis and AFM studies have shown that by inverted two-component seed-induced polymerization, e.g., upon addition of seeds of MeO-PBI to the kinetically trapped aggregates of Cl-PBI, triblock supramolecular copolymers with B-A-B pattern can be generated. The switching of the block pattern could only be achieved because of the perfectly matching conditions for the copolymerization process and the tailored molecular geometry of the individual building blocks of both PBIs. These studies have demonstrated for the first time, that the block pattern of a supramolecular copolymer can be modulated by the experimental protocol through the approach of living supramolecular polymerization. Furthermore, by UV/vis analysis of the living copolymerization of MeO-PBI and MeS-PBI similar results were obtained showing also the formation of both A-B-A and B-A-B type supramolecular block copolymers. Although for these two PBIs the individual blocks could not be identified by AFM because the helical nanofibers of both PBIs exhibit identical helical pitches, these studies revealed for the first time that the approach of seeded living polymerization is not limited to a special pair of monomeric building blocks.
In the last part of the thesis (Chapter 5) a systematic study on the two-component living copolymerization of PBIs with various sterical demanding bay-substituents is provided. Thus, a series of PBIs containing identical hydrogen-bonding amide groups in imide position but variable number (1-MeO-PBI, MeO-PBI, 1,6,7-MeO-PBI, 1,6,7,12-MeO-PBI) or size (EtO-PBI, iPrO-PBI) of alkoxy bay-substituents was investigated. The molecular geometry of the monomeric building blocks has a strong impact on the thermodynamically and even more pronounced on the kinetically controlled aggregation in solvent mixtures of MCH and Tol. While the mono- and dialkoxy-substituted PBIs form kinetically metastable species, the self-assembly of the tri- and tetramethoxy-substituted PBIs (1,6,7-MeO-PBI and 1,6,7,12-MeO-PBI) is completely thermodynamically controlled. The two 1,7-alkoxy substituted PBIs (EtO-PBI, iPrO-PBI) form very similar to MeO-PBI kinetically off-pathway H-aggregates and thermodynamically more favored J-type aggregates. However, the stability of the kinetically metastable state is drastically lower and the conversion into the thermodynamically favored state much faster than for MeO-PBI. In contrast, the monomethoxy-substituted PBI derivative (1-MeO-PBI) forms a kinetically trapped species by intramolecular hydrogen-bonding of the monomers, which can be transformed into the thermodynamically favored nanofibers by seeded polymerization.
Importantly, the two-component seeded copolymerization of the kinetically trapped MeO PBI with seeds of other PBIs of the present series was studied by UV/vis and AFM revealing that the formation of supramolecular block copolymers is only possible for appropriate combinations of PBI building blocks. Thus, the seeded polymerization of the trapped state of the moderately core-twisted MeO-PBI with the, according to DFT-calculations, structurally similar PBIs (EtO-PBI and iPrO-PBI) leads to the formation of A-B-A block copolymers, like in the seeded copolymerization of MeO-PBItrapped with seeds of Cl-PBI and MeS-PBI already described in Chapter 4. However, by addition of seeds of the almost planar PBIs (H-PBI and 1-MeO-PBI) or seeds of the strongly core-twisted PBIs (1,6,7-MeO-PBI and 1,6,7,12-MeO-PBI) to the kinetically trapped state of MeO-PBI no block copolymers can be obtained. The mismatching geometry of these molecular building blocks strongly hampers both the intermolecular hydrogen-bonding and the π-π-interactions between the two different PBIs and consequently prevents the copolymerization process.
Furthermore, the studies of the two-component seeded copolymerization of the kinetically trapped species of 1-MeO-PBI with seeds of the other PBIs also corroborated that a precise shape complementarity is crucial to generate supramolecular block copolymers. Thus, by addition of seeds of H-PBI to the kinetically trapped monomers of 1-MeO-PBI supramolecular block copolymers were generated. Both PBIs exhibit an almost planar PBI core according to DFT-calculations leading to strong non-covalent interactions between these PBIs. This perfectly matching geometry of both PBIs also enables the inverted seeded copolymerization of the kinetically trapped monomers of H-PBI with 1-MeO-PBIseed concomitant with a switching of the block pattern of the supramolecular copolymer from A-B-A to B-A-B type. In contrast, the seeding with the moderately twisted (MeO-PBI, EtO-PBI and iPrO-PBI) and the strongly twisted PBIs (1,6,7-MeO-PBI and 1,6,7,12 MeO-PBI) has no effect on the kinetically trapped state of 1-MeO-PBI, because the copolymerization of these PBIs is prevented by the mismatching geometry of the molecular building blocks.
In conclusion, the supramolecular polymerization and two-component seeded copolymerization of a series of PBI monomers was investigated within this thesis. The studies revealed that the thermodynamically and kinetically controlled self-assembly can be strongly modified by subtle changes of the monomeric building blocks. Moreover, the results have shown that living supramolecular polymerization is an exceedingly powerful method to generate unprecedented supramolecular polymeric nanostructures with controlled block pattern and length distribution. The formation of supramolecular block copolymers can only be achieved under precise kinetic control of the polymerization process and is strongly governed by the shape complementarity already imparted in the individual components. Thus, these insightful studies might enable a more rational design of monomeric building blocks for the non-covalent synthesis of highly complex supramolecular architectures with interesting properties for possible future applications, e.g., as novel functional materials.
Analog zu den auf hochgeordneten Farbstoffarchitekturen in den biologischen Photosyntheseapparaten basierenden Energiekonversionssystemen sollte die exakte Einstellung zwischenmolekularer Wechselwirkungen auch in künstlichen Halbleitern eine entscheidende Rolle für die Weiterentwicklung organischer Elektronikmaterialien spielen. Für eine derartige, präzise Steuerung der nanoskaligen Anordnung in organischen Materialien erscheinen Merocyaninfarbstoffe wegen ihrer hochgerichteten, dipolaren Aggregation äußerst aussichtsreich. In diesem Zusammenhang war das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit die Ausnutzung funktionaler, stark selbstorganisierender Merocyanine, um eine gezielte Beeinflussung der Morphologie in der aktiven Schicht von BHJ-Solarzellen zu erreichen. Hierzu sollte zunächst eine umfangreiche Serie komplexer Merocyanine synthetisiert und vollständig charakterisiert werden. Im Folgenden wurde angestrebt, die optischen und elektrochemischen Eigenschaften der molekular gelösten Farbstoffe zu bestimmen und für ausgewählte, geeignete Strukturen das Selbstorganisationsverhalten im Detail zu studieren. Zuletzt sollte durch eine sorgfältige Optimierung der Prozessierungsbedingungen ein Transfer der in Lösung gefundenen, supramolekularen Strukturen in den Blend lösungsprozessierter BHJ-Solarzellen erreicht werden. Die organischen Elektronikbauteile wurden dabei im Arbeitskreis von Prof. Dr. Klaus Meerholz (Universität Köln) gefertigt und charakterisiert.
Zusammenfassend zeichnet die vorliegende Arbeit ein umfassendes Bild von der Synthese funktionaler Merocyanine, dem Studium ihrer molekularen und Selbstorganisationseigenschaften sowie ihrer Anwendung als p-Halbleitermaterialien in organischen Solarzellen. Der komplexe Molekülaufbau der dargestellten Farbstoffe führte dabei zur Ausbildung verschiedener Farbstofforganisate, deren Struktur sowohl in Lösung als auch teilweise im Festkörper aufgeklärt werden konnte. Die erfolgreiche Implementierung von H-aggregierten Spezies der Verbindung 67b in die aktive Schicht organischer BHJ-Solarzellen resultierte in der Bildung effizienter Perkolationspfade für Exzitonen und freie Ladungsträger, wodurch diese Bauteile merklich höhere Stromdichten generieren konnten und gegenüber Zellen ohne H-Spezies über 20 % gesteigerte Effizienz aufwiesen. Diese Befunde verifizieren die postulierte Hypothese, dass eine gezielte Einstellung der zwischenmolekularen Wechselwirkungen bei organischen Halbleitern zu einer Optimierung der Funktionalität organischer Elektronikmaterialien beitragen kann.
In summary, it can be stated that the herein studied set of acceptor-substituted squaraine dyes can be seen as potent candidates for OTFTs. Furthermore, their transistor performance can be easily tuned to obtain hole mobilities up to 0.45 cm2/Vs from solution and 1.3 cm2/Vs from sublimation by choosing adequate deposition techniques. In the end, a probable structural model derived from studies of the thin-film morphology by methods such as optical spectroscopy, AFM and X-ray even facilitated the clarification of the observed charge transport behavior.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass die in dieser Abreit vorgestellten Squaraine herausragend gute NIR-Absorptions- und NIR-Emissionseigenschaften aufweisen, die sie für zahlreiche Anwendungen interessant machen. Darüber hinaus konnte gezeigt werden, dass ihre besondere cis-Konfiguration und ihr daraus resultierendes Dipolmoment zu vorteilhaften Anordnungen in dünnen Filmen und in Blends mit PCBM führen. Diese Strukturen zeigen für dipolare Moleküle beeindruckende Exzitonen- und Ladungstransporteigenschaften, die vielversprechende Anwendungen in der organischen Elektronik wie in hier untersuchten lösungsprozessierten BHJ-Solarzellen oder auch in OFETs erwarten lassen.
A bis(trialkoxybenzamide)-functionalized quaterthiophene derivative was synthesized and its self-assembly properties in solution were studied. In non-polar solvents such as cyclohexane, this quaterthiophene π-system formed fibril aggregates with an H-type molecular arrangement due to synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and π-stacking. The self-assembled fibres were found to gelate numerous organic solvents of diverse polarity. The charge transport ability of such elongated fibres of quaterthiophene π-system was explored by the pulse radiolysis time resolved microwave conductivity (PR-TRMC) technique and moderate mobility values were obtained. Furthermore, initial AFM and UV-vis spectroscopic studies of a mixture of our electron-rich quaterthiophene derivative with the electron acceptor [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) revealed a nanoscale segregated assembly of the individual building blocks in the blend.
Sialic acids are located at the termini of mammalian cell-surface glycostructures, which participate in essential interaction processes including adhesion of pathogens prior to infection and immunogenicity. Here we present the synthesis and bioorthogonal metabolic incorporation of the sialic acid analogue N-(1-oxohex-5-ynyl)neuraminic acid (Neu5Hex) into the cell-surface glycocalyx of a human larynx carcinoma cell line (HEp-2) and its fluorescence labelling by click chemistry.
Fünfgliedrige Carbocyclen sind Bauelemente zahlreicher NaturstofTe und daher attraktive Syntheseziele. Da bisher kein Syntheseverfahren mit großer Anwendungsbreite bekannt ist, sind neue Methoden willkommen. Wir berichten hier über Umsetzungen des Titelheterocyclus 1 mit l,3-Butadienen 1; diese Reaktionen, obwohl vielstufig, liefern im Eintopfverfahren konjugierte und nichtkonjugierte Cyclopentenone und gestatten auch die Fünfringanellierung.
Via reduction of benzvalene (1) with diirnine tricyclo[3.1.0.02•6]hexane is obtained in good yield. The procedure renders 3, which has already been synthesized by Lemal and Shim, accessible much easier and in larger quantities. IH and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopic data are discussed. Both the thermal and the AgBF4-catalyzed rearrangernent of 3 yield 1,3-cyclohexadiene (8). - The ozonolysis of 1 with subsequent LiAIH4-reduction results in cis-I,3- bis(hydroxyrnethyl)cyclobutane (13a).
Density functional theory is applied to the calculation ofthe isotropic byperfine coupJing constants in some small molecules. Various functionals are tested. The agreement of the calculated values to experimental data and values obtained from sophisticated ab initio methods depends on the functionals used and the system under consideration. With respect to spin density calculations the functional of Lee, Yang and Parr with Becke's excbange functional (BLYP) is found to give good results for tbe heavier center of the CH and the NH molecule, while the spin densities of other molecules such as OH, H\(_2\)CN, H\(_2\)CO\(^+\), NO and O\(_2\) deviate considerably from experimental and/or other theoretical results (30%-60%). In cases where the singly occupied orbital can contribute to the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, accurate results are obtained. The reason fortbis is analyzed.
The hyperfine structures of the isoelectronic molecules CCO. CNN, and NCN in their triplet ground states (X\(^3 \sum ^-\)) are investigated by means of ab initio methods. The infrared frequencies and geometries are detennined and compared with experiment. Configuration selected multireference configuration interaction calculations in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRD-CI/B\(_K\)) employing extended atomic orbital (AO) basis sets yielded very accurate hyperfine properties. The theoretical values for CCO are in excellent agreement with the experimental values determined by Smith and Weltner [J. Chem. Phys. 62,4592 (1975)]. For CNN, the first assignment of Smith and Weltner for the two nitrogen atoms has to be changed. A qualitative discussion of the electronic structure discloses no simple relation between the structure of the singly occupied orbitals and the measured hyperfine coupling constants. Vibrational effects were found to be of little importance.
A comparative ab initio study of the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\), Si\(_3\)C\(_3\), Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters
(1994)
Various structural possibilities for the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters are investigated by employing a basis set of triple-zeta plus polarization quality; electron correlation is generally accounted for by second-order M0ller-Plesset and, in certain instances, by higher-order perturbation (CASPT2) approaches. The building-up principle recently suggested from an analysis of Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters is found to be fully operative for Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters. A comparison of the structure and stability of various geometrical arrangements in the series C\(_6\) , Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) , Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) , Si\(_4\)C\(_2\), and Si\(_6\) shows that linear and planar structures become rapidly less stable if carbons are replaced by silicons and that the three-dimensional bipyramidal forms become less favorable as soon as silicons are exchanged by carbons in the parent Si\(_6\) structure. The effects can be rationalized in qualitative terms based on differences in silicon and carbon bonding.
Results ofan ab initio study ofthe hyperfine structure of the X\(^2\)A', A\(^2\) A" ( 1\(^2 \Pi\)) system ofthe formyl radical are presented. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the interplay between the vibronic and magnetic hyperfine etfects. The results of computations are in very good agreement with the available experimental findings. The values for the hyperfine coupling constants in lower bending Ievels of both electronic species are predicted.
The minimum energy path for the reaction O(\(^3\)P\(_g\)) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\)(\(^1\)A\(_g\)) has been calculated by optimizing all relevant geometrical parameters along the approach of oxygen to ethene. A barrier of 4.7 kcal/mol in the \(^3\)A"( ... 9a'\(^2\)- 10a'3a") potential energy surface and an energy difference of 14.4 kcal/mol between the product and the fragments is found at the multireference-configuration interaction level. The corresponding values at the lower-level treatment CASSCF are 9 kcal/mol for the barrier and 9 kcal/mol for the depth of the potential; this shows the importance of inclusion of electron correlation. The barrier for CH\(_2\) rotation for the lowestenergy structure (asymmetric OC\(_2\)H\(_4\)) is around 5 kcal/mol. The energy gap to the first excited state \(^3\)A'( ... 9a'l0a'3a'12) is found tobe 3.6 kcal/mol in MRD-CI calculations at the ground-state minimum. Comparison with \(^3\)CH\(_2\) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) shows that in this system the lowest-energy surface is \(^3\)A', i.e., the state which is the excited state in 0 + C\(_2\)H\(_4\). This difference in energy ordering of \(^3\)A' and \(^3\)A" states results from the fact that the p\(_x\), p\(_y\), p\(_z\) degeneracy of oxygen orbitals is lifted in \(^3\)CH\(_2\)leading to b\(_1\), b\(_2\). and a\(_1\) MOs whereby the lowest b\(_2\) (a") remains doubly occupied; as a consequence, the reaction pattem between the oxygen and \(^3\)CH\(_2\) approach is different, which is also quite apparent in the calculated charge transfer.
Various structural possibilities for Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters are investigated by ab initio calculations employing basis sets of double- and triple-zeta quality augmented by d polarization functions. Correlation effects are included by a second-order Moeller Piesset perturbation treatment. For the two lowest-lying structures higher-order correlation corrections and multi-reference effects are also included. Bonding features are investigated by two different types of population analyses to obtain insight into the nature of chemical bonding. A total of 17 stationary points were investigated, 14 of which correspond to local minima and three being transition states. The energetically lowest-lying structures are: A "pyramidlike" structure with various multicenter bonds, followed by a es symmetric isomer closely related to the ground state Si6 structure. Planar structures, favoured in small carbon clusters, lie higher in energy and are transition states. The lowest-lying triplet system is found to be the linear nonsymmetric Si - C-C-C-Si -Si structure, which is calculated to lie about 38 kcalfmole above the singlet ground state. A building-up principle based on bonding criteria is suggested for the occurence of the various structural possibilities.
The energy difference between the three lowest-lying isomers of C\(_6\) the linear \(^3 \sum ^-\) state and the two ring forms,the benzene structure (\(^1\)A\(_{18}\)) possessing D\(_{6h}\) symmetry and a distorted cyclic form ( \(^1\)A'\(_1\), D\(_{3h}\) symmetry) have been calculated using various ab initio methods. Variational methods such as multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI) and complete active space second order perturbatiOn treatment (CASPT2) have been applied, as weil as perturbational treatments and coupled cluster calculations (CCD). The correlation of all valence shell electrons is found to be important for a balanced description of the isomers of C\(_6\) . Methods which do not account for higher-order effects appropriately proved to be unsuitable for calculating the energy difference correctly. The results from multireference configuration interaction methods show that the isomers are close in energy with the cyclic forms somewhat lower than the linear form. The ring form possessing D\(_{3h}\) symmetry (\(^1\)A'\(_1\)} is found tobe the lowest-lying structure.
In the present work the dimethylamino radical ( ( CH\(_3\)) \(_2\)N) and its protonated cation ( ( CH\(_3\))\(_2\)NH\(^+\)) are investigated by means of ab initio methods. The geometries of various conformations of both compounds are obtained with UMP2/6·31 G** calculations, while the hyperfine structure and its dependence on the geometry is studied using the MRD-Cl/B\(_K\) method. The two molecules are compared to study the inftuence of the protonation on geometry and hyperfine structure. The effects of the rotational barriers on the hyperfine structures of (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)N, (CH\(_3\)CH\(_2\))\(_2\)N and ( (CH\(_3\))\(_2\)CH)\(_2\)N will be discussed.

The hyperfine structure of the two isoelectronic molecules H\(_2\)CN and H\(_2\)CO\(^+\) in their electronic ground state (X\(^2\)B\(_2\)) is studied. The influence of the atomic orbital (AO), basis sets, of the correlation treatment, and of the. equilibrium geometry on the obtained hyperfine propertles 1s - investigated. It is found that the multireference double excitation-configuration interaction (MRD-CI)/ BK treatment in which an MRD-CI wave function is corrected by a modified B\(_K\) method yields equivalent results to quadratic CI [QCISD(T)], coupled cluster single doubles [CCSD(T)), or Brueckner doubled [BD(T)]. Uncertainties in the equilibrium geometries are found to be the major source for discrepancies between theoretically and experimentally determined isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (hfccs). For the heavier centers, the calculated values of the isotropic hfccs agrees nearly perfectly with experimental values (\(\approx\) 1%-2%). The calculated values for the hydrogens are too low, but using the equilibrium structure suggested by Yamamoto and Sato [J. Chem. Phys. 96, 4157 ( 1992)], the best estimate deviates by less than 3%.
A reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. In previous studies, the configuration selected multireference configuration interaction method in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRCI/ B\(_K\)) yielded accurate isotropic hyperfine coupling constants very economically. The present study gives a detailed analysis of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method based on the X\(^2 \pi\) state of CH as a test case. Furthermore, a comparison to various other methods such as Maller-Ptesset perturbation theory and the coupled cluster approach is made. The success of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method in predicting isotropic hyperfine coupling constants is explained in terms of the inßuence of higher than double excitations.
Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strang dependence on the method employed for its ca1culation has been found. Within a CI ansatz A\(_{iso}\) is considerably affected by the excitation classes taken into account within the CI calculation. In the present work the influence of various excitation classes on A\(_{iso}\) is examined. Calculations including all single, double, triple and a large part of the quadruple excitations are performed and the individual effects of the excitation classes are studied. It is found that the surprisingly good agreement found for S-CI treatments is due to large error cancellations. The importance of higher than double excitations arises from their indirect influence on the single excitations.
We have investigated theoretically the importance of the O(\(^3\)P)+CH(a\(^4\sum^-\)) and the O(\(^3\)P)+CH(X\(^2\Pi\)) channels in the collinear chemi-ionization reaction O+CH->HCO\(^+\) +e\(^-\). We have found that both channels may lead to chemi-ionization via favorable Franck-Condon overlaps with the states ofthe ionic species.
Vibronically averaged values for K =0 and K = 1 bending levels in the energy range between 0 and 25 000 cm\(^{-1}\) are computed for the \(^{14}\)N, H, and D atoms in NH\(_2\), NHD, and ND\(_2\) The pure ab initio electronic potentials, as well as those derived by fitting of experimentally observed band positions are employed. Effects of vibronic coupling and local perturbations of close-lying levels belanging to different electronic states are discussed.
The hyperfine coupling constants (hfcc) A\(_{iso}\) and A\(_{ij}\) are calculated for the atoms of NH\(_2\) in its, two lowest-lying electronk states at various molecular geometries by means of the ab initio multireference configuration interaction .method. The vibronically averaged values of the hfccs for the K = 0 and 1 levels in \(^{14}\)N \(^1\)H\(_2\) in the energy range up to 20 000 cm\(^{-1}\) are computed. Polarization elfects which determine A\(_{iso}\) as well as a simple model to describe the dipolar hfccs are discussed. All resrilts are in excellent agreement with experimental data.
Large-scale multireference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a flexible atomic orbital (AO) basis are employed to study the reaction of C\(_2\)H\(_4\) with CH\(_2\) in its firSt triplet and singlet state. The minimum energy path (MEP) of both reactions is calculated, and different mechanisms are discussed. To examine the possible participation of the singlet state in the overall reaction starting from the triplet channel and terminating in the singlet-state c-C\(_3\)H\(_6\), various cuts through both hypersurfaces are calculated. lt is found that favorable interconversion from the trip1et to the singlet surface can only occur at !arge separations of the two fragments of CH2 and C\(_2\)H\(_4\). Experimental data considering the vibrational motion of CH\(_2\) in connection with the relative position of both surfaces are used to obtain an estimate for the overall barrier of the reaction. The height of the barrier is about 6 kcal/mol, while the barrier of the pure triplet reaction is calculated to be 7-9 kcal/mol.
The vibronically averaged values for tbe hyperfine coupling constants in the X\(^2 \sum\)-A\(^2 \Pi\) system of the ethynyl radical are computed by means of tbe ab initio metbod calculations. The results point at tbe importance of taking into account the coupling of a1l tbree electronic states in question ( I\(^2\)A', 2\(^2\)A', and 1\(^2\)A") for a reliable explanation of the available experimental findings. The mean values of the hfcc's for K = 0 and 1 levels in \(^{13}\)C\(_2\)H and \(^{13}\)C\(_2\)D in the energy range up to 6000 cm\(^{-1}\) are predicted.
The hyperfine coupling constants (isotropic hfcc and four Cartesian components of the ani~ tropic tensor) are calculated for all three atoms of C\(_2\)H in its three lowest-lying electronic states at various molecu)ar geometries by means of the ab initio configuration interaction ( MRO.CI) method. The off-diagonal electronic matrix elements involving the two species ofthe A' symmetry are also computed. A diabatic transforrnation is perforrned Jeading to simple geometrical depen· dences of the hyperline coupling constants.
Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant, a\(_{iso}\), is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strong dependence on the method used for its calculation is found. Within a truncated multi-referencc ansatz a\(_{iso}\) is strongly affected by the size ofthe reference space and the nurober of terms in the truncated Cl expansion. In the present paperdifferent effects of the neglected Cl space are discussed. Modified B\(_K\) and A\(_K\) methods are used to estimate the contributions ofthe neglected configurations. lt can be shown that a combination of both methods is able to recover about 90-9 S% of the total error in a\(_{iso}\)· Furthermore, it was found that to obtain about 90% of the B\(_K\) correction only about I 0-20% ofthe configurations within H0 have to be corrected.
Dipole moments and various spectroscopic constants of some low-lying electronic states of the CaF molecule have been calculated using the multireference single· and double-excitation configuration-interaction (MRD-CI) method. The electronic structure of the highly ionic molecule in various excited states can be explained in tenns of different polarisations of the mainly Cacentered valence electron in the field of the F\(^-\) anion. Plots of natural orbitals occupied by the valence electron in the different states give a qualitative picture of the charge distribution and provide a visualisation of the different polarisations of the valence electron in the various states. Comparisons with the electrostatic polarisation model ofTörring, Ernstand Kändler (TEK model) are made. The unknown A' \(^2 \Delta\) state is predicted to lie about 21200 cm\(^{-1}\) above the ground state.
Study of the hyperfine coupling constants of the moleculs NH<sub>2</sub>, NHD and ND<sub>2</sub>
(1990)
In the present paper we c:alculate tbe magnetic hyperfine couplina constants (hfcc) ai.ID and A11 of the ground states of the isotopes NH2, NHD and ND2 using truncated MR..CI methods. Differences from other theoretical methocls and shortoominp of the truncated Cl approach in calculating tlj10 are studied. Polarization effects wbich detennirae ailo. as weU as a simple model to describe the dipolar hfcc's, are discussed. All results are in. excellent aareement with experimental data. lt is shown that ab initio methods are able to obtain reliable values for otf-diaaonal values of A41 which are difficult to measure experimentaDy.
Potential energy and spectroscopic constants for the X\(^2 \sum^+ _\mu\) ground state of a;, were calculated by configuration-interaction (Cl) methods, using large basis sets with polarization and diffuse functions. From these CI wavefunctions, the isotropic (a\(_{iso}\)) and dipolar (A\(_{dip}\)) components of the hyperfine coupling constant were obtained. The effects of various s, p basis sets, polarization and diffuse functions, as well as the influence of reference configurations and configuration selection thresholds were investigated. The best values obtained are 35·31 G for a\(_{iso}\) and 29·440 for A\(_{dip}\)• tobe compared with experimental values of 37 ± 1 G and 32 ± 1 G, respectively. It is shown that the contributions to a1so of the K and L shells are opposite in sign, differing by about 4 G. Upon vibrational averaging, both a\(_{iso}\) and A\(_{dip}\) move towards smaller values as v increases. An adiabatic electron affinity of 2·46eV was obtained for CL\(_2\) , and a vertical electron detachment energy of 3·71 eV for Cl;.
Large-scale multireference configuration interaction calculations in a double·t·type AO basis including polarization functions are carried out for the potential surface of the ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\9 system. The charge distribution for various extreme points of the surface is discussed. The absolute minimum is found for an asymmetric ClC2H4 structure. The symmetrical bridged nuclear conformation is also found to be stable with respect to dissociation into Cl + C\(_2\)H\(_4\)• The activation energy for rotation about the C-C axis is calculated tobe around 18 kJ/mol, which is comparable tothat for the 1,2 migration {around 26 kJ/mol). The stereochemistry is governed by the fact that addition of CI to C\(_2\)H\(_4\) (or dissociation) is a two-step reaction proceeding through a symmetrica1 intermediate. The direct addition pathway possesses a small barrier of about 8 kJ jmol.
Multi-reference configuration interaction calculations employing various orbital transformations are undertaken to obtain the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant a\(_{iso\) in nitrogen and a\(_{iso\) (H) in the CH molecule. The natural orbital (NO) basis is found to be more effective than the simple RHF-MO basis; the most obvious is a basis of spin natural orbitals (SNO). It is found that a\(_{iso\) is approached from opposite sides in the NO and 2s shell SNO basis if the CI expansion is increased. Both results are within a few percent of the full CI Iimit for the nitrogen atorn (in the given AO basis) and the experimental value for Hin the CH radical. Various features ofthe SNO are discussed.
The hyperfine coupling constants for the \(^3\)Σ\(-\) ground state of the NH molecule are determined by configuration interaction calculations whereby the infl.uence of polarization functions as weil as of the configuration space on the spin polarization mechanism is analysed. The dipolar part Au(N) and Au(H) can be obtained very reliably without much computational effort (A .. (N) == -45·3 MHz and A"(H) = -62·3 MHz). The value for the isotropic contribution a1.., in the best AO basis and MRD-CI treatment is - 64·5 MHz for H and 16·6 MHz for nitrogen compared to the corresponding experimental quantities of -66 MHz and 19 MHz respectively. Their determination depends on a subtle balance of the lu, 2u and 3u shell correlation description, whereby the dominant contribution to a1..,(H) results from the 2u shell. It is shown that the often good agreement of a110 values with experiment in a small basis singledouble configuration interaction treatment results from a cancellation of two errors.
Large-scale multireference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a quite flexible AO basis are employed to study the energy hypersurface for the reaction intermediate FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) • The reaction F + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) -> FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) as weil as the 1,2 migration of the fluorine atom in FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) is investigated. In addition the rotation around the CC bond in the optimum conformation is studied. The absolute minimum in the potential energy is found for the asymmetric structure but the symmetric structure is also found to be stable with respect to the dissociation, so that a shuttling of the fluorine atom is in principle possible but highly unlikely because ( l) the activation energy is high ( II 5-130 kJ fmol) and the saddle point lies only 4(}-50 kJ jmol below the dissociation Iimit of F + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) and (2) the competitive motion, i.e., rotation around the CC axis, is nearly free (I 1-17 kJ/mol).
The isotropic (a\(_{iso}\)) and dipolar (A\(_{dip}\)) hyperfine coupling constants of 19F2 were obtained from MRD-CI wave functions using a variety of basis sets. In series I, increasing numbers of d functions were added to a 5s4p contracted Huzinaga!Dunning basis. In series II, the 5s3p basis set was uncontracted in several steps until 9s5p was reached, to which were added from one to three d-polarization functions. Cl parameters (selectioo threshoids and the number of reference coofiguratioos) were also varied. A study of the R dependence of aiso and Adip was perfonned. The best values obtained at R\(_e\) are 260 G for a\(_{iso}\) and 308 G for A\(_{dip}\)• compared with experimental values of about 280 G for a;10 and 320 G for A\(_{dip}\)·
Study of the 1s and 2s shell contributions to the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant in nitrogen
(1988)
The istropic part of the hyperfine coupling constant is investigated by means of multireference configuration interaction calculations employing Gaussian basis sets. A detailed study of the 1s and 2s spin polarisation in the nitrogen atom and the NH molecule shows that the structure of the lower-energy space of the unoccupied orbitals is essential for the results. A contraction of the Gaussian basis is possible without loss of accuracy if enough flexibility is retained to describe the main features of the original space of unoccupied functions. Higher than double excitations are found to be non-negligible for the description of α\(_{iso}\).
The hyperfine coupling constant for the nitrogen atom is evaluated by large-scale MRD-CI calculations. A detailed analysis of the charge density at the nucleus and the spin polarization in the ls and 2s shell as a function of various technical parameters is undertaken. Various (s, p) AO basis sets and the inftuence of correlation orbitals is investigated as weil as selection threshold and other properlies in CI calculations. The best value, obtained for the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant in an s, p, d basis, based on theoretical judgment of' best' quantities, is 9·9 MHz compared to 10·4509 MHz.
Large-acale multi-reference configuration interaction (MRD-CI) calculations in a quite flexible AO basis are employed to study the energy hypersurface for the reaction intermediates XC\(_3\)H\(_4\) with X = Cl, Br and F. Particular emphasis is therby placed on determining the equilibrium conformations, the CH\(_2\) rotation barrier and the energy surface for a possible bridging (shuttling motion (1a] of X between the two carbon centers). The absolute minimum in the potential energy surface is found in all three cases for the asymmetric ß-halo radical in general agreement with ESR data at an XCC angle of ca. 110°, a c-c separation somewhat shorter than a single bond and an approximate sp3 type hybridization (\(\alpha _2 \approx \) 135-140°). In FC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the energy difference between the minimum in the symmetric conformation and the absolute minimum is found to be more than 30 kcal so that shuttling seems impossible in agreement with experimental findings. In BrC\(_2\)H\(_4\) the difference between these two potential minima is only between 1-2 kcal, i.e., smaller than the barrier to CH\(_2\), rotation, so that· shuttling is favored, while ClC\(_2\)H\(_4\) takes an intermediate position between these extremes. The use of correlated wavefunctions is found to be quite important for such a study; the results are related to various kinetic studies of these radicals.
Highly reactive methanesulfonates (mesylates, ROMs) have been prepared from 1-phenylethanol. cyclohex-2-en-1-ol, diphenylmethanol and p-methoxybenzyl alcohol by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine in dichloro- or trichloro-methane at - 20 to 0 °C. The mesylates. characterised in solution by \(^1\)H and \(^{13}\)C NMR at -20 °C, were obtained in satisfactory purity (ca. 95%) in cold solutions but they decomposed by reaction with chloride, triethylamine or the parent alcohol. Rate constants for solvolyses in aqueous acetone and aqueous ethanol have been determined by a fast response conductimetric method. Product selectivities for solvolyses of pmethoxybenzyl mesylate in aqueous ethanol and methanol at 0 °C have been determined by HPLC. From additional new or Iiterature kinetic data for solvolyses of corresponding bromides. chlorides and p-nitrobenzoates (OPNB). Br/CI. OMs/Br and OMs/OPNB rate ratios were calculated; the results are consistent with electronic effects stabilising the carbocationic transition states and increasing OMs/Br rate ratios for these SN 1 solvolyses; none of the evidence supports a geminal electronic effect on Br/CI rate ratios (e.g. caused by stabilisation of the initial state in pmethoxybenzyl chloride). Steric effects on ester /halide rate ratios for solvolyses of tertiary substrates are confirmed. Relative rates over a 10\(^{16}\) range for ester and halide leaving groups are evaluated for solvolyses of 1-phenylethyl substrates in 80% ethanol-water. updating previous work by Noyce et al. (1972).

The transient yellow color observed in the cycloaddition of homobenzvalene (HB) with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) is associated with the charge-transfer complex [HB, TCNE). The deliberate photoexcitation of [HB,TCNE) affords a mixture of charge-transfer cycloadducts (1, 2, and 3) that differs from that obtained in thermal cycloaddition. The relationship of {HB t TCNE•) radical-ion pair (as the critical reactive intermediate in charge-transfer cycloaddition) to the activation process for thermal cycloaddition is discussed.

Umsetzung von 6,6-Dichlor-2-oxabicyclo[3.1.0)hexan (4a) in Styrol mit n-Butyllithium lieferte neben Polystyrol und t-Chlor-1- pbenylhexan (6) in geringer Ausbeute die Tet~hydrocyclobutapyrane 5, die Abfangprodukte des aus 4a generierten t-Oxa-2,3- cyclobexadiens (3). Das unbeständige 6,6-Dibrom-2-oxabicyclo( J.l.O]hexan (4b) wurde bei -60°C erzeugt un~ bei -30°C mit Methyllithium in Gegenwart von Styrol umgesetzt, woraus die Produkte 5 mit 24% Ausbeute hervorgingen. Als bei 20°C beständige Quelle für 3 erwies sich exo-6-Brom-e~o-6-fluor-2-oxabicyclo[ J.t.O]bexan (9), das aus 2,3-Dihydrofuran und Bromßuorcarben mit 25% Ausbeute bereitet wurde. Behandlung von 9 in Styrol, <X-Methylstyrol, 1,3-Butadien, 2,3-Dimet~yl-!,3-butadien, Furan und 2,5-Dimethylfuran mit Methyllithium ergab Abfangprodukte von 3 mit Ausbeuten von 31-80%. Dabei entstanden mit den Styrolen und überwiegend auch mit den l ,3-Butadienen (2 + 2]-Cycloaddukte als Diastereomerengemische, nämlich 5, ll, 13 und 15. Die Furane lieferten ausschließlieb [4 + 2]-Cycloaddukte (17 und 18), die 1,3-Butadiene nur mit einem kleinen Anteil (14 und 16). [2 + 2]- und [4 + 2]-Cycloadditionen zeigen eine unterschiedliche Chemoselektivität. Während erstere die Enolether- Doppelbindung von 3 nutzen, finden letztere an der vom Sauerstoffatom entfernteren Doppelbindung statt. Das als 1 : IGemisch aus exo- und endo-Isomeren anfallende Produkt 5 lieferte beim Erhitzen auf l50°C ein 20:1: 1-Gemiseh aus exo- und endo-5 sowie dem Strukturisomeren 19. Thermolyse· des 2: 1-Gemisches aus 13 und 14 erbrachte ein 2: 1-Gemiscb aus 14 und dem Tetrahydro-1-benzopyran 20.

Nichtbindende Wechselwirkungen in zwei 7-Spirotetracyclo[4.1.0.0\(^{2,4}\).0\(^{3,5}\)]heptanen
(1989)
Die Reaktion von Tetrachlordiazocyclopentadien mit Be.nzvalen (2) ergab das Fulven-Derivat 3. Dagegen führten die Umsetzungen von Diazoßuoren und 5-Diazo-10,1 1-dihydro-SH-dibenzo[ a.d]cyclohepten mit 2 zu den erwarteten Spiro-1-pyrazolinen 4 bzw. 5. Die photolytische Abspaltung von Stickstoff aus 4 und 5 lieferte die Spirotetracycloheptane 6 bzw. 7. Die Röntgenstrukturanalyse von 6 beweist einen engen Kontakt zwischen je eineßl Wasserstoffatom der Tetracycloheptan- und der Fluoren-Einheit. Dieser kurze Abstand (2.15 A) ruft Winkelaufweitungen hervor und wird auch als Grund für starke Entschirmungen der betreffenden Protonen und eine formal über sieben Bindungen reichende 0.6-Hz-Kopplung zwischen ihnen angesehen. 7 ist das erste chiralc Tetracyclohcptan. Ursache dafür ist eine nichtebene Konformation des Siebenrings, der bei Raumtemperatur nicht invertiert. Auf der Basis von NOE-Messungen gelang die Zuordnung der tH-NMR-Signale von 6 und 7.

Aus Benzvalen (J) und 3,6-Bis(2-pyridyl)-l,2,4,5-tetrazin wurde das Dihydropyridazin 2c erhalten, das ebenso wie die bekannten Dihydropyridazine 2a, b mit Cyclopropen in die entsprechende Azoverbindung 3 überging. Addition von Thiophenol an 3a, c und 5 lieferte unter Beteiligung des Bicyclobutan-Systems und der Azofunktion die Halbkäfigverbindungen 4a, c bzw. 6. Aus der Umsetzung von 7, in dem die Azobrücke durch zwei BicycJobutan- Systeme flankiert ist, mit Thiophenol sowie Bromtrichlormethan gingen die Halbkäfigverbindungen 8 bzw. 9 hervor. An diesen ~eaktionen wirken beide Bicyclobutan-Systeme und die Azofunktion mit.
In Diels-Alder-Reaktionen wurden aus Benzvalen (1) und Tetrachlorcyclopentadienon- dimethylacetal sowie Tetrachlorfuran die Addukte 2 bzw. 8 und 9 erhalten. Behandlung von 2 mit Natrium und tert-Butylalkohol ergab das chlorfreie Acetal 3, dessen Doppelbindung sich mit Diimin unter Bildung von 4 absättigen ließ. Aus dem bekannten Stammkohlenwasserstoff 5 ging analog 6 hervor, und durch Reaktion seines Anions mit Chlorameisensäure- methylester entstand der Ester 7. - Die Verbindungen l, 3, 5, 7-9 und das bekannte U wurden mit Thiophenol so behandelt, daß Radikalkettenreaktionen abliefen. Bei 8 trat Addition an die Zentralbindung des Bicyclobutan-Systems ein. Dagegen unterlag bei 2, 9, U und zum Teil bei 3, deren Doppelbindung jeweils der BicycJobutan-Einheit benachbart ist, das Primärradikal der 5-Hexen-1-yl- Cyclopentylrneth.yl-Umlagerung, aus der letztlich 15, ll, 13 bzw. 16 resultierten. Zum Teil bei 3 und vollständig bei 5 erfolgte die Addition an die Doppelbindung zu 17 bzw. 18, d.h. ohne Beteiligung der benachbarten Bicyclobutan- Einheit. Durch Aktivierung des Bicyclobutan-Systems mit einer Esterfunktion konnte dessen Passivität aufgehoben werden. So entstanden aus 7 das nichtumgelagerte Produkt 19 und das umgelagerte 20. Ihr Verhältnis hing von der Konzentration an Thiophenol ab. - Analog zur Reaktion 1Z + Thiophenol-13 brachte BromtrichJormethan aus 12 das umlagerte Addukt 21 hervor. - Als Nebenprodukt wurde bei der Umsetzung von 12 mit Thiophenol das Chlorwasserstoff-Addukt 14 des ersteren gefunden. Modellreaktionen für die Bildung von 14 sind die Umsetzungen von 12 mit Essigsäure und von 3 sowie 5 mit +Nitrobenzoesäure zu den Addukten 22, 23 bzw. 24. Seit
Das bekannte 6-0xo-2,5-diphenyl-6H-l,3,4-oxadiazin (1 a) und die neuen 2,5-Diarylderivate 1 b - g lagern Alkene an, und es entstehen stickstofIfreie Produkte. Im Falle von Cyclopropenen und Cyclobuten bilden sich die a,p-ungesättigten Siebenring-Enollactone 42 -45 bzw. das a,ß-ungesättigte Achtring-Enollacton 47. 42a und d erleiden an basischem Aluminiumoxid die H-Verschiebung zu den ß,y-ungesättigten Siebenring-Enollactonen 46a bzw. d. Bei weiteren Olefinen wurden die 'Y-Ketoketene des Typs 33 als Zwischenprodukte nachgewiesen oder sind aufgrund der Konstitution der Endprodukte wahrscheinlich. Aus 1 a werden mit Norbomen, Norbornadien, Cyc1openten, trans-Cycloocten und Styrol die Sechsring-Enollactone 10, 13, 15, 19 bzw. 21 und 22 erhalten. 10 isomerisiert mit Kalium-tert-butoxid zu 34, und die Methanolyse dieser Enollactone erbringt die diastereomeren Methy]ester 12 bzw. 35. Das y-Ketoketen 16 aus trans-Cycloocten nimmt schneller Wasser und Methanol zu 17 bzw. 18 auf als es zum Enollacton 19 cyclisiert. cis,trans-l,5-Cyc1ooctadien erbringt über die Stufe des nachgewiesenen y-Ketoketens 40 in einer intramolekularen [2 + 2J-Cyc1oaddition den Tricyclus 41. Tetracyclische Verbindungen des Typs 4 gehen aus der Umsetzung von Benzvalen (2) mit 1 hervor. Durch Röntgenstrukturanalysen wurden Konstitution und Konfiguration von 10, 19 und 41 aufgeklärt
Diels-Alder reaction of dimethyl 1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-dicarboxylate (5) with benzvalene (4), norbornene, and norbornadiene afforded the azo compounds 7 and 8. Theseare derivatives of 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene as is azo compound 3, which had been obtained previously from 5 and 2 equiv of benzvalene (4). The photochemical extrusion of nitrogen from 3, 7, and 8 has been studied. Whereas 7 and 8 on direct irradiation in benzene gave rise exclusively to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane derivatives 9 and 10, respectively, from 3 in addition to the bicyclo[2.2.0]hexane 11, the diolefin 1l was formed. Diolefin 12 has cisdouble bonds in the nine-membered ring and is fixed in a boat conformation in a manner so that the two bicyclobutane systems approach each other very closely. This geometry suggests the unusual ring opening of the intermediate 1,4-cyclohexanediyl diradical from a boat conformation, which arises by inversion of the primarily generated boat conformation. Sensitized photolysis of 3 as weilasthat of ll produced the saturated isomer 13 of 11 and 12. The proximity of the bicyclobutane systems in 1l causes unprecedented reactions leading to cage compounds. When ll was heated at 90 °C, a rearrangement to the pentacyclic product 10 took place. Utilization of tetradeuteriated substrate ll-d4 supported a pathway with two diradical intermediates. Behaving in a convcntional manncr, bicyclobutane 9 and bis(bicyclobutane) 11 took up 1 and 2 equiv of thiophenol most probably in a radical-chain addition to give the thioethers 28 and 19, respectively. In contrast, bis(bicyclobutane) ll was converted by 1 equiv of thiophenol into cagc compound 30 in a process involving both the strained a systems. Heating at 80 °C subjected 30 to a reversible Copc rearrangement, resulting in a 6:1 mixture of 31 and 30. When it was treated with bromine, 11 was transformed to cage compound 38. This addition is believed to proceed via a cationic intermediate. The structure of cage compound 10 was established by a singlc-crystal X-ray analysis of dialcohol 11 prepared from 20 and methyllithium.

The γ-oxoketenes, which are formed from oxadiazinone Ja and strained cyclopentene der1vat1ves, are shown to undergo a pericyclic ring enlargement to give the title compounds 2a, 2b, and 5. In the case of 5, two configurations, one having a cis and the other a trans Iactone functionality, are in equilibrium.
The 1-oxoketenes, which are accessible from methyl 1,3,4-oxadiazin-6-one-2-carboxyIate 1 and cycloalkenes, are shown to undergo an intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition either on heating or on photolysis to give different sterecisemers of ß-lactones of the 3-oxo-2-oxabicyclo[ 2.2.0]hexane-type.

Der Einsatz von (Z)-Dcutcriostyrollicfene den Beweis der Zweistufiakeit dieser Reaktion, und das Diradikal 4 wird als wahrscheinlichste Zwischenstufe anaesehen. Erhitzen von Jb auf 140-170°C führte zur Binstellung des thermodynamischen Gleichgewichts mit Ja (Ja:3b = 93:7), wobei wieder das Diradikal4 als Zwischenstufe fungieren dürfte. Mit Hilfe kinetischer Messungen ermittelte man die Aktivierungsparameter für das System Ja~ 3b. - Aus 2 und den Abfangreagenzien p-Methoxystyrol, 1,1-Diphenylethylen sowie 1-Phenylpropen gingen mit bescheidenen Ausbeuten die Titelverbindungen 6a, b, 7 bzw. 8 hervor. Analoa zu 2 wurde sein l-Methylderivat 13 aus 6,6-Dibrom-1-methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexan (9) durch Methyllithium freigesetzt. In Gegenwart von Styrol entstand neben den Abfanaprodukten 14a, b auch das Dimere 12 von lJ. - Die 1H-NMR-Spektren der Titelverbindungen belegen eine starre Halbsesselkonformation des Cyclohexentcils mit äquatorial anellienem Cyclobutanring.
