Hydroquinone–pyrrole dyads with varied linkers
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 (1)H NMR, (13)C 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.

The synthesis and characterization of a series of heteroleptic ruthenium(II) dyads derived from pyrrole-2-carboxylate thionoesters are reported. Ligands bearing a conjugated thiocarbonyl group were found to be more reactive toward Ru(II) complexation compared to analogous all-oxygen pyrrole-2-carboxylate esters, and salient features of the resulting complexes were determined using X-ray crystal...
متن کاملSynthetic approaches to a variety of covalently linked porphyrin--fullerene hybrids.
There is substantial interest in dyads in which C(60) is covalently linked to electron donors, such as porphyrins, which absorb light strongly in the visible region. We present here the details of the syntheses of such compounds, which can be broadly organized into categories depending upon the nature of the linker joining the two chromophores. The structural aspects of intramolecular electroni...
متن کاملExtended hairpin polyamide motif for sequence-specific recognition in the minor groove of DNA.
BACKGROUND Three-ring polyamides containing N-methylimidazole and N-methylpyrrole amino acids bind sequence-specifically to double-helical DNA by forming side-by-side complexes in the minor groove. Simple pairing rules relate the amino-acid sequence of a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide to its expected DNA target site, and polyamides that target a wide variety of DNA sequences have been synthesized....
