Nanodiamonds functionalized with different organic moieties carrying terminal amino groups have been synthesized. These include conjugates generated by Diels–Alder reactions of ortho-quinodimethanes formed in situ from pyrazine and 5,6-dihydrocyclobuta[d]pyrimidine derivatives. For the quantification of primary amino groups a modified photometric assay based on the Kaiser test has been developed and validated for different types of aminated nanodiamond. The results correspond well to values obtained by thermogravimetry. The method represents an alternative wet-chemical quantification method in cases where other techniques like elemental analysis fail due to unfavourable combustion behaviour of the analyte or other impediments.
The title compound, \(C_{19}H_{17}PS_2\), results from the direct deprotonation of diphenylmethylphosphine sulfide and subsequent reaction with diphenyl disulfide. The C-P and C-S bond lengths of 1.8242 (18) and 1.8009 (18) Å, respectively, of the central P-C-S linkage are comparable to those found in the sulfonyl analogue, but are considerably longer than those reported for the dimetallated sulfonyl compound. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the diphenylmethyl moiety is 69.46 (7)°. No distinct intermolecular interactions are present in the crystal structure.
Blending different low molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) provides a convenient route to tune the properties of a gel and incorporate functionalities such as fluorescence. Blending a series of gelators having a common bis-urea motif, and functionalised with different amino acid-derived end-groups and differing length alkylene spacers is reported. Fluorescent gelators incorporating 1- and 2-pyrenyl moieties provide a probe of the mixed systems alongside structural and morphological data from powder diffraction and electron microscopy. Characterisation of the individual gelators reveals that although the expected α-urea tape motif is preserved, there is considerable variation in the gelation properties, molecular packing, fibre morphology and rheological behaviour. Mixing of the gelators revealed examples in which: 1) the gels formed separate, orthogonal networks maintaining their own packing and morphology, 2) the gels blended together into a single network, either adopting the packing and morphology of one gelator, or 3) a new structure not seen for either of the gelators individually was created. The strong binding of the urea functionalities to anions was exploited as a means of breaking down the gel structure, and the use of fluorescent gel blends provides new insights into anion-mediated gel dissolution.
In the molecular structure of the dinuclear title compound \([η^5-(C_5(CH_3)_5)(CO)Fe{(μ-BCl)(μ-CO)}PtCl(P(C_6H_{11})_3)]·C_6H_6\), the two metal atoms, iron(II) and platinum(II), are bridged by one carbonyl (μ-CO) and one chloridoborylene ligand (μ-BCl). The \(Pt^{II}\) atom is additionally bound to a chloride ligand situated trans to the bridging borylene, and a tricyclohexylphosphane ligand \((PCy_3)\) trans to the carbonyl ligand, forming a distorted square-planar structural motif at the \(Pt^{II}\) atom. The \(Fe_{II}\) atom is bound to a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand \([η^5-C_5(CH_3)_5]\) and one carbonyl ligand (CO), forming a piano-stool structure. Additionally, one benzene solvent molecule is incorporated into the crystal structure, positioned staggered relative to the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand at the \(Fe^{II}\) atom, with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.630 (2) Å.
