We report the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of 2,2'-bis(10-phenylanthracen-9-yl)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-FPA), a dichromophoric molecule composed of two phenylanthracenes linked by a spirobifluorene moiety (PA-X-PA). The results are compared to those for 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA), a related molecule with a single chromophore. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of spiro-FPA shows two rev...

In the title compound, C28H27NO3, the cyclo-hexa-none and isoxazole rings have envelope conformations, with the methyl-ene and spiro C atoms as the flaps, respectively. The mean plane of the isoxazole ring is inclined slightly to the p-tolyl ring, making a dihedral angle of 14.20 (9)°, and is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane through the tetra-lone moiety and to the meth-oxy-phenyl ring [d...

Hexagonal columnar liquid-crystalline phases are induced for a new fan-shaped spiropyran compound as the result of an acidichromism effect of spiro-merocyanine isomerisation through protonation upon incorporation of 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid.

2-Naphthyl-substituted glucopyranosylidene-spiro-oxathiazole prepared following a novel design principle was found to be the best known glucose analogue inhibitor of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (K(i) 160 nM).

Three spiro-acridine-fluorene based hole transporting materials (HTMs), namely CW3, CW4 and CW5, are employed in the fabrication of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells. The corresponding mesoscopic TiO2/CH3NH3PbI3/HTM devices are investigated and compared with that made with commercial spiro-OMeTAD. The best conversion efficiency of 16.56% is achieved for CW4 in the presence of tBp ...

The present paper describes a total synthesis of racemic β-chamigrene, a sesquiterpene with a spiro[5.5]undecane carbon framework. Compared with previously reported β-chamigrene syntheses, we were able to reduce the total number of reaction steps, which also resulted in a significant improvement of the overall yield. The commercially available ketone 6-methylhept-5-en-2-one was transformed by k...

The title compound, C(35)H(38)N(4)O(3), was prepared as a spiro-lactam ring formation of rhodamine dye for comparison with a ring-opened form. The xanthene ring system is approximately planar. The dihedral angles formed by the spiro-lactam and phenol rings with the xanthene ring system are 85.7 and 109.4°, respectively. Each of the mol-ecules in the crystal structure contains one intra-molecula...

The triethylamine promoted three-component reaction of N-(4-nitrobenzyl), N-ethoxycarbonylmethylisoquinolinium bromide, isatins and malononitrile in ethanol afforded spiro[indoline-3,2'-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines] in good yields and with high diastereoselectivity. The similar reaction of N-cyanomethylisoquinolinium chloride mainly gave complex indolo[2″,3″:2',3']pyrrolo[3',4':4,5]pyrrolo[2,1-a...

Novel N-[3-(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)-propyl] derivatives of 3-spiro-cyclo-hexanepyrrolidine-2,5-dione (5-7) and 3-spiro-beta-tetralonepyrrolidine-2,5-dione (8-10) were synthesized and their 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor affinities were determined. All tested compounds exhibited moderate to low 5-HT1A receptor affinity, whereas compounds 5-7 demonstrated high 5-HT2A receptor affinity (Ki = 27, 46 an...
