A new protocol for the catalytic synthesis of cyclopropanes using electron-deficient alkenes is presented, which is catalysed by a series of affordable, easy to synthesise and highly active substituted cobalt(II) tetraaza[14]annulenes. These catalysts are compatible with the use of sodium tosylhydrazone salts as precursors to diazo compounds in one-pot catalytic transformations to afford the de...

Abstract An efficient protocol for the synthesis of 3‐ethynyl‐2‐aryl‐bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenes through a gold‐catalyzed enyne cyclization was established in this work. Depending on specific substitution pattern, unusual cationic rearrangements corresponding gold carbene were revealed, leading to either cyclohexadienes or 5,9‐methanobenzo[8]annulene derivatives, respectively.

Tomatoes are consumed worldwide as fresh vegetables because of their high contents essential nutrients and antioxidant-rich phytochemicals. contain minerals, vitamins, proteins, amino acids (Leucine, Threonine, Valine, Histidine, Lysine, Arginine), monounsaturated fatty (Linoleic Linolenic Acids), Carotenoids (Lycopene ?-Carotenoids) Phytosterols (?-Sitosterol, Campesterol Stigmasterol). GCMS a...

Zethrene derivatives substituted by phenylethynyl groups bearing electron-donating and/or accepting groups were synthesised by iodine-induced transannular cyclisation of dehydrodinaphtho[10]annulene as the pivotal step followed by Sonogashira coupling reaction. Their physical properties were investigated to elucidate the effects of the substituents on the electronic configuration of the zethren...

We demonstrate the effective confinement of surface electrons in the pores of molecular networks formed by dehydrobenzo[12]annulene (DBA) molecules with butoxy groups (DBA-OC4) on Au(111). Investigation of the network formation starting from single molecules reveals a considerable interaction of the molecules with the substrate, which is at the origin of the observed confinement.

New, neutral, meso-substituted tetraoxa[22]annulene[2,1,2,1] aromatic macrocycles are synthesised and disclosed as new p-type semiconductors with reproducible bulk-like carrier mobility (as high as 0.40 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) on highly crystalline thin films deposited on octadecyltrichlorosilane modified SiO(2).

Periodoannulene molecules and ions CxIxq in planar geometry offer examples of systems with the potential for outer ? inner ? ring-current double aromaticity, given a sufficient overlap tangential p?-orbital manifolds on large atoms cycle. Previous theoretical work indicated concentric diatropic currents dication C6I62+. Ab initio ipsocentric calculations support an account terms frontier-orbita...

Cyclic arrays consisting of six zinc-porphyrin units are constructed by the supramolecular self-assembly of a dehydrobenzo[12]-annulene derivative having three zinc porphyrin units at the liquid/graphite interface. Binding with C60 furnishes cyclic hexameric arrays of the complexes on the surface.

New, neutral, slightly puckered aromatic meso-substituted tetrathia[22]annulene[2.1.2.1] macrocyclic architectures display p-type semiconductor behaviour and constitute molecular field-effect transistors with high on/off ratios (8.67 × 10(6)) and high mobility (0.23 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) in thin films deposited on octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) modified SiO(2).
