The reductive cleavage of the Si-Si bond in 1,1-bis(1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopentadiene) [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)] (1) with either Li or Na in THF gives the silole anion [MeSiC(4)Ph(4)]- (2). The head-to-tail dimerization of the silole anion 2 gives crystals of the disilatricyclic diallylic dianion [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)]-2 (3). The derivatization of 3 (crystals) with bromoethane (gas) u...

Abstract Monofluorinated bis-heterocyclic spirocycles: functionalized ethyl 9-fluoro-8-methyl-1,4-dioxo-2,3,6,10-tetraphenyl-2,3,7-triazaspiro[4.5]dec-7-ene-9-carboxylate derivatives were efficiently synthesized from readily available 1,2-diphenylpyrazolidine-3,5-dione, 2-fluoroacetoacetate, aromatic aldehydes, and ammonium acetate via one-pot four-component reactions in the absence of addition...

A new series of octanuclear Ru(ii) complexes of tolylterpyridine appended calixresorcarenes [{Ru(ttpy)}8()](PF6)16 (), [{Ru(ttpy)}8()](PF6)16 (), and [{Ru(ttpy)}8()](PF6)16 () [ = 2,8,14,20-tetraethyl-4,6,10,12,16,18,22,24-octa(4'-p-benzyloxy-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridinyl))calix[4]resorcarene; = 2,8,14,20-tetraphenyl-4,6,10,12,16,18,22,24-octa(4'-p-benzyloxy-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridinyl))calix[4]resor...

Eight novel compounds were prepared by reaction of 5-(bromo- propoxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin with oxazole thiols, 1,3,4-oxadiazole thiols and 1,3,4-thiadiazole thiols, and their structures confirmed by UV-vis, IR, 1H-NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The assessment of indirectly measured 1O(2) production rates against 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl porphyrin (H(2)TPP) were described and the re...

The preparation of fullerene complexes with metal tetraarylporphyrins in the presence of excess ferrocene (Cp(2)Fe) results in the formation of new solvent-free and multicomponent molecular crystals. New isomorphous complexes of C(60) with PyZnTPP (ZnTPP identical with zinc 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrinate) and PyCoTPP (CoTPP identical with cobalt(II) 5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-p...

A novel potentiometric ion-selective PVC membrane sensor for analysis of atorvastatin (AT) in pharmaceutical preparations based on atorvastatin-(tetraphenyl borate), (AT-(TPB)2) as sensing element, tetraphenyl borate as additive and tris-2-ethyl-hexyl phosphate (TOP) as plasticizer solvent was prepared. The electrode shows a good Nernestian response over the concentration range of 0.09–5586 µ...

Tetraphenyl[5]cumulene (tetraphenylhexapentaene) underwent cyclotrimerization in refluxing toluene for 10-15 min to give a tricyclodecadiene derivative in 68% yield.

Both S(1) and T(1) energy transfer rates (porphyrin → cluster) increase from mono- to di- to tetracarboxylate[tetraphenyl-(zinc)porphyrin] adducts with [Pd(3)(dppm)(3)(CO)](2+) clusters.
