A series of high-quality M2(BDC)2(DABCO) metal-organic frameworks (abbreviated as M-DABCO; M=Zn, Co, Ni, Cu; BDC=1,4-benzene dicarboxylate; DABCO=1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane), were synthesized by using a solvothermal (SV) method, and their catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides in the absence of a co-catalyst or solvent was demonstrated. Of these metal-organic frameworks ...

Zinc-porphyrin-appended norbornene derivative 6, the corresponding dimer 7, coherently aligned single-stranded polynorbornene 5, and zinc-porphyrin-linked double-stranded polymeric ladderphane 3 have been used for complexation with 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) to generate an array of porphyrin-DABCO supramolecular scaffolds. The stoichiometries of the complex formation are analyzed in ...

Molecular-based dielectric switching compounds [ClEt-Dabco][ReO 4 ] 2 and [BrEt-Dabco][ReO with high-temperature phase transition.

Herein, we report a chiral 3D framework with the formula [Co(HPO3)2][H2DABCO] (DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). This compound exhibits two distinct dielectric anomalies, one attributed to the transfer of protons between non-polar DABCO and the inorganic framework, and the other to the in-plane oscillatory fluctuation of the DABCO molecule. It also exhibits proton conductivity under high-...

Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are targets for therapeutic drugs in the treatment of pathologic conditions including cardiac arrhythmia and epilepsy. In this study, we synthesized three classes of novel polyammonium compounds incorporating the bicyclic unit 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and tested their action on three representative mammalian Kv channels (Kv2.1, Kv3.4, and Kv4.2...

A large covalent cage incorporating two porphyrins attached by four long and flexible polyether chains each bearing two 3-pyridyl ligands was synthesized from a DABCO-templated olefin metathesis reaction. The X-ray structure of the cage with the DABCO coordinated inside the cavity to the two zinc(II) porphyrins reveals a highly symmetric structure.

A systematic modulation of organic ligands connecting dinuclear paddle-wheel motifs leads to a series of isomorphous metal-organic porous materials that have a three-dimensional connectivity and interconnected pores. Aromatic dicarboxylates such as 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (1,4-bdc), tetramethylterephthalate (tmbdc), 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate (1,4-ndc), tetrafluoroterephthalate (tfbdc), or 2...

The nucleophilicity and Lewis basicity of DBU and DBN toward C(sp(2)) centers have been measured: nucleophilicities increase in the series DMAP < DBU < DBN < DABCO while Lewis basicities are DABCO < DMAP < DBU < DBN.

A pentacobalt(II) cluster based 3D pcu network, [Co(5)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(bpdc)(4)(dabco)(H(2)O)(2)] (bpdc = benzophenone-2,4'-dicarboxylate and dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2] octane), exhibiting both slow magnetic relaxation and hysteresis behavior, has been hydrothermally synthesized.

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C12H14N4O2S·0.5C6H12N2, comprises the sulfonamide mol-ecule and half a mol-ecule of 1,4-di-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), the latter being disposed about a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. In the sulfonamide mol-ecule, the aromatic rings are almost perpendicular to one another [dihedral angle = 75.01 (8)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are c...
