Two act as one: unexpected dimers of catechol direct a solid-state [2+2] photodimerization in a six-component hydrogen-bonded assembly.

چکیده
We describe hydrogen-bonded dimers of catechol that act collectively as a single template to direct an intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition in the solid state. The directed reactivity involves discrete, six-component hydrogen-bonded assemblies and a photoreaction that occurs stereoselectively and in quantitative yield.

Polymorphism of Oligomers of a Peptide from β-Amyloid
This contribution reports solution-phase structural studies of oligomers of a family of peptides derived from the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ). We had previously reported the X-ray crystallographic structures of the oligomers and oligomer assemblies formed in the solid state by a macrocyclic β-sheet peptide containing the Aβ(15-23) nonapeptide. In the current study, we set out to determine its assemb...
متن کاملSynthesis and Structural Characterization of Diisopropylammonium Trifluoroacetate and Diisoproplyammonium Pentafluoropropionate
Diisopropylammonium trifluoroacetate ({[Pr2NH2][CF3COO]}; dip tfa; 1) and diisopropylammonium pentafluoropropionate ({[Pr2NH2][C2F5COO]}; dip pfp; 2) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Both compounds form hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers (Etter symbol: R4(12)) in the solid state. The asymmetric unit of 1 contains one trifluoroacetat...

Co-crystallization of 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,8-nap) with trans-1,2-bis(n-pyridyl)ethylene (n,n'-bpe) (n = 2 or 4) yields a discrete four-component molecular assembly, 2(n,n'-bpe).2(1,8-nap) 1, that is held together by four O-H...N hydrogen bonds where the dicarboxylic acid, serving as a linear template, directs alignment of olefins in the solid state for [2 + 2] photoreaction.
متن کاملOrganic semiconductor co-crystals: reactivity, mobility, and spectroscopy
Organic semiconductors are of interest because low processing temperatures and cost which make such materials candidates for flexible electronics. The charge transport properties of the material are largely dependent on solid-state arrangement of the molecules. This thesis focuses on co-crystallization as a means to achieve [2+2] photodimerization with organic semiconductors, the impact the co-...
متن کاملExpanding the registry of aromatic amide foldamers: folding, photochemistry and assembly using diaza-anthracene units.
The synthesis of various 1,8-diaza-4,5-dialkoxy-2,7-anthracene dicarboxylic acid derivatives and their incorporation into cyclic and helically folded aromatic oligoamides are reported. The ability of the diaza-anthracene monomers to undergo photoaddition or head-to-tail photodimerization was investigated in the solid state and in solution. Quantitative conversion of a monomer diester to the cor...
