Two novel donor–π–acceptor-type dithienylethene derivatives, in which the triphenylamine group acts as electron donor and the formyl group functions as electron acceptor, have been developed. Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS (ESI). Investigation of their photochromic properties indicated that they had good photochromic behaviour and excellent fatigue resistance on irradiation with UV or visible light. DFT calculations further validated these experimental results for photochromic behaviour. Moreover, these compounds can be utilised as versatile building blocks to construct novel near-infrared photochromic materials.

A novel aldehyde-substituted acceptor-DTE-acceptor-type dithienylethene derivative, in which the difluoroboron β-diketonate and aldehyde groups at the termini of the dithienylethene function as electron acceptors, has been developed. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 19F NMR, high-resolution mass spectrometry (electrospray ionization) and infrared. The derivative displays solvent-dependent photophysical properties, visible light–triggered near-infrared photochromism, and fluorescent switching behavior in solvents of different polarity. Moreover, it can be utilized as a versatile building block to construct novel near-infrared photochromic materials.

A series of pyrroles functionalized in the 3-position with p-dimethoxybenzene via various linkers (CH2, CH2CH2, CH=CH, C≡C) has been synthesized. Their electronic properties have been deduced from 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV–vis spectra to detect possible interactions between the two aromatic subunits. The extent of conjugation between the subunits is largely controlled by the nature of the linker, with the largest conjugation found with the trans-ethene linker and the weakest with the aliphatic linkers. DFT calculations revealed substantial changes in the HOMO–LUMO gap that correlated with the extent of conjugation found experimentally. The results of this work are expected to open up for use of the investigated compounds as components of redox-active materials in sustainable, organic electrical energy storage devices.

TiCl 4 and ZrCl 4 each react with aryl substituted heteroaromatic ligands such as 2-Phenyl-1H-indole, to thermally undergo one-pot direct orthometallations, and yield new types of cyclometallated complexes. TiCl 4 coordinates at ambient temperature to form the indole complex ( 1 ), which undergoes isomerization to the indolenine ( 2 ). DFT calculations indicate that complex ( 2 ) is more stable than ( 1 ) by 6.4 kcal/mol. Upon warming to about 105°C, extrusion of HCl takes place with simultaneous orthometallation ( 3 ), yielding a metallacyclic complex ( 4 ). The mechanism of the orthometallation has been investigated by DFT, and the transition state c onfir med by IRC. At the elevated temperature the transition state ( 3 ) involves the synchronous transformation of four atoms, Ti, ortho C, H, and the apical Cl. The ortho C of the phenyl group acquires a partial positive charge through conjugation, forming a (C-H)δ + ...Clδ - interaction, with a simultaneous elongation and breaking of the Ti-Cl bond, resulting in the formation of a Ti-C bond. The latter bond is created at the same time a Ti-Cl bond is breaking, and an HCl is being formed, as illustrated in transition state ( 3 ). This HCl is retained in the crystal structure of the final product ( 4 ), by electrostatic interaction with one of the chloride ligands. The reaction sequence may be repeated with ZrCl 4 in place of TiCl 4 . Complex ( 4 ) has been isolated and characterized by solid state 13 C NMR CPMAS/DDMAS spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), infrared and analytical data. The intermediate structures ( 1 through 4 ), as well as the sequence of ligand transformations to produce the ortho-metallated complex are supported by DFT calculations. The new cyclometallated complexes are thermally stable, unlike several other complexes featuring a Ti-C bond. They may have important applications, such as in α-olefin polymerization catalysis, and as building blocks in metalodrugs for cancer therapy.<br>

With the aim of designing new photoactive donor–acceptor dyads, self-assembly in the (ethoxy)(oxo)(5,10,15,20-(4-methylphenyl)porphinato)molybdenum(V) (O=Mo(OEt)TTP)–2[Formula: see text]-(pyridin-4-yl)-5[Formula: see text]-(pyridin-2-yl)-1[Formula: see text]-(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)pyrrolidino[60]fullerene (Py3F)-toluene systems was quantitatively studied using spectral methods (UV-vis, IR, 1H NMR, mass spectrometry), chemical thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics. Interaction between O=Mo(OEt)TTP and pyridine (Py) proceeding as step equilibriums was preliminarily studied to model the processes above. The novel donor–acceptor triad based on O=Mo(OEt)TTP and Py3F is represented with both quantitative description of its formation and conformation of the chemical structure. Prospects for the study of the triad as a photosynthetic antenna imitator and an active layer in organic solar cells are substantiated by a fluorescence method. Along with this, it has been demonstrated that O=Mo(OEt)TTP is a good candidate for use as an optical and fluorescent chemosensor of volatile organic compounds and nitrogen bases — the building blocks of pharmaceuticals, food components and environmental pollutants.

Diphyllin-7′- O-β-D-glucoside, a podophyllotoxin derivative, was isolated from the roots of Dysosma versipellis. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra acquired at 300 K exhibited doubling of signals, suggesting the existence of two rotamers in solution. Variable-temperature 1H NMR experiments indicated a dynamic exchange process between the two rotamers. DFT calculations verified nearly equal energies for the two rotamers about the single bond C7′-O7.

It was found that three crystalline forms of ethylene glycol dibenzoate can be prepared. Infrared and Raman spectra of these three forms, as well as of the glassy and liquid states, were measured. From 3JHH coupling constants obtained by analysis of the 13C satellite band of the -CH2- group in 1H NMR spectra, and from the 3JCH coupling constants of the -CO.O.CH2- fragment obtained by analysis of the carbonyl band in 13C NMR spectra it was found that in the liquid state the -CH2-CH2- group exists predominantly in the gauche conformational structure, and the bonds C-O-C-C assume predominantly a trans orientation. The results of the analysis of NMR and vibrational spectra were used for the structural interpretation of conformationally sensitive bands in vibrational spectra of ethylene glycol dibenzoate.

New synthesis of pyrido[3,4-e]-1,3-thiazines consisting in reaction of 2,6-dimethyl-4-chloronicotinoyl isothiocyanate with primary or secondary amines, or with benzaldehyde phenylhydrazone, is described. High reactivity of the chlorine atom does not allow isolation of the corresponding thioureas, arising as intermediates, except in the case of the benzylamino derivative. Structure of the products was unequivocally confirmed by their spectral data (IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectra). The synthesized derivatives do not undergo the Dimroth rearrangement.

From S. nemorensis L., var. subdecurrens GRISEB. there were isolated the previously obtained alkaloids nemorensine (I), retroisosenine (II), bulgarsenine (III) and, in addition, the alkaloid oxynemorensine which was assigned the structure VIII on the basis of the interpretation of the 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectra, and on that of the identification of the products of hydrolysis and reduction. Furthermore, the isolation of the cis-nemorensic acid (V) as well as that of the unsaturated acid IV, and the transformation of bulgarsenine (III) to nemorensine (I) were described.

Reaction of 3β-acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) and 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-19α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with diazomethane afforded derivatives XII-XIV with spiroepoxide group in position 21 or 22, which were further converted into hydroxy derivatives XV and XVII. Ethylene ketals VIII-X were also prepared. In connection with the determination of position and configuration of the functional groups at C(21) and C(22), the 1H and 13C NMR spectral data of the prepared compounds are discussed. Complete analysis of two four-spin systems in the 1H NMR spectrum of bisethylenedioxy derivative Xb led to the proton-proton coupling constants from which the structure with two 1,4-dioxane rings condensed with ring E, and their conformation, was derived.
