Geringe HOMO-LUMO-Abstände und eine hohe Ladungsträgermobilität prädestinieren die höheren Acene für Anwendungen im Bereich der Organoelektronik. Die Leistungsfähigkeit derartiger Verbindungen steigt hierbei dramatisch mit der Anzahl anellierter Benzolringe. Größere Acenmengen sind synthetisch bisher jedoch nur für Acene bis Heptacen verlässlich zugänglich. Theoretischen Studien zufolge besitzen (Oligo)acene offenschalige Singulettbiradikal- und (Poly)acene polyradikalische Grundzustände. Eindeutige experimentelle Belege für diese Vorhersagen sind hingegen äußerst selten. Durch den Einbau von zwei Boratomen in das Anthracengrundgerüst konnten wir den HOMO-LUMO-Abstand von Acenen dramatisch verringern und zwar ohne die Notwendigkeit einer Ausweitung des konjugierten π-Systems. Stabilisierung der Borzentren durch cyclische (Alkyl)(amino)carbene lieferte hierbei neutrale 9,10-Diboraanthracene mit disjunkten, offenschaligen Singulettbiradikal-Grundzuständen.
Diplatinum A‐frame complexes with a bridging (di)boron unit in the apex position were synthesized in a single step by the double oxidative addition of dihalo(di)borane precursors at a bis(diphosphine)‐bridged Pt\(^{0}\)\(_{2}\) complex. While structurally analogous to well‐known μ‐borylene complexes, in which delocalized dative three‐center‐two‐electron M‐B‐M bonding prevails, theoretical investigations into the nature of Pt−B bonding in these A‐frame complexes show them to be rare dimetalla(di)boranes displaying two electron‐sharing Pt−B σ‐bonds. This is experimentally reflected in the low kinetic stability of these compounds, which are prone to loss of the (di)boron bridgehead unit.
Amber Light Control of Peptide Secondary Structure by a Perfluoroaromatic Azobenzene Photoswitch
(2023)
The incorporation of photoswitches into the molecular structure of peptides and proteins enables their dynamic photocontrol in complex biological systems. Here, a perfluorinated azobenzene derivative triggered by amber light was site‐specifically conjugated to cysteines in a helical peptide by perfluoroarylation chemistry. In response to the photoisomerization (trans→cis) of the conjugated azobenzene with amber light, the secondary structure of the peptide was modulated from a disorganized into an amphiphilic helical structure.
Activation of Ge−H and Sn−H Bonds with N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes and a Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene
(2023)
A study of the reactivity of several N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene 1‐(2,6‐di‐iso‐propylphenyl)‐3,3,5,5‐tetramethyl‐pyrrolidin‐2‐ylidene (cAAC\(^{Me}\)) with the group 14 hydrides GeH2Mes2 and SnH2Me2 (Me=CH\(_{3}\), Mes=1,3,5‐(CH\(_{3}\))\(_{3}\)C\(_{6}\)H\(_{2}\)) is presented. The reaction of GeH\(_{2}\)Mes\(_{2}\) with cAAC\(^{Me}\) led to the insertion of cAAC\(^{Me}\) into one Ge−H bond to give cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−GeHMes\(_{2}\) (1). If 1,3,4,5‐tetramethyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)) was used as the carbene, NHC‐mediated dehydrogenative coupling occurred, which led to the NHC‐stabilized germylene Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)⋅GeMes\(_{2}\) (2). The reaction of SnH\(_{2}\)Me\(_{2}\) with cAAC\(^{Me}\) also afforded the insertion product cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−SnHMe\(_{2}\) (3), and reaction of two equivalents Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\) with SnH\(_{2}\)Me\(_{2}\) gave the NHC‐stabilized stannylene Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)⋅SnMe\(_{2}\) (4). If the sterically more demanding NHCs Me\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\), 1,3‐di‐isopropyl‐4,5‐dimethyl‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (iPr\(_{2}\)Im\(^{Me}\)) and 1,3‐bis‐(2,6‐di‐isopropylphenyl)‐imidazolin‐2‐ylidene (Dipp\(_{2}\)Im) were employed, selective formation of cyclic oligomers (SnMe\(_{2}\))\(_{n}\) (5; n=5–8) in high yield was observed. These cyclic oligomers were also obtained from the controlled decomposition of cAAC\(^{Me}\)H−SnHMe\(_{2}\) (3).
