Boron nitride multiwall nanotubes decorated with BN nanosheets

We report a simple chemical-route to BN multiwall nanotubes decorated with nanosheets. These nanostructures have been prepared on a large scale from a simple unique chemical process under an ammonia flow onto the surface of an alumina substrate, using carb ...

Design and Development of Functionalized Cyclometalated Ruthenium Chromophores for Light-Harvesting Applications

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Aswani Yella, Thomas Baumgartner

The syntheses and the electrochemical spectroscopic properties of a suite of asymmetrical bistridentate cyclometalated Ru(II) complexes bearing terminal triphenylamine (TPA) substituents are reported. These complexes, which contain structural design elemen ...

Boronic Acids as Building Blocks for Molecular Nanostructures and Polymeric Materials

Kay Severin

Boronic acids are versatile building blocks for the construction of complex molecular architectures. Using reversible condensation reactions, it is possible to obtain macrocycles, cages, dendritic structures, and rotaxanes, as well as 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensi ...

Self-assembly of boron-based supramolecular structures

Nicolas Christinat

This work describes the synthesis and characterization of boronic acid-based supramolecular structures. Macrocycles, dendritic structures, polymers, rotaxanes, and cages were assembled using four types of reversible reactions. The key point of the strategy ...

Formation of Boronate Ester Polymers with Efficient Intrastrand Charge Transfer Transitions by Three-Component Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Ursula Röthlisberger, Kay Severin, Michele Cascella, Nicolas Christinat, Emmanuel Croisier

The three-component reaction of aryl boronic acids with 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene or 4,4-bipyridine leads to the formation of dark-purple boronate ester polymers. Crystallographic analyses show that the polymer strands have ...

The bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters. New route to sulfoxides

Pierre Vogel, Adrien Keith Lawrence, Maris Turks

A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...

The metalation of 1- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalenes: Noteworthy site selectivities

Fabrice Cottet

This article provides insight into the various factors by which electroneg. substituents affect the kinetic acidity of arenes and, more specifically, naphthalenes. Both 1- and 2-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalenes were consecutively treated with an organometalli ...

The regiochemically flexible functionalization of fluoro-and trifluoromethyl-substituted indoles

Assunta Ginanneschi

The use of organometallic reagents for functionalization of arenes and heterocycles has recently been renewed by our group. The use of bulky trialkylsilyl groups allows one to shield an acidic position by steric hindrance and the introduction of a chlorine ...

A new method for the synthesis of boronate macrocycles

Kay Severin

The condensation of aryl boronic acids with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine gives boronates, which self-assemble to form tetrameric macrocycles as evidenced by X-ray crystallographic analyses. ...

The structural proliferation of 2,6-difluoropyridine through organometallic intermediates

Thierry Rausis

Contrary to a literature claim, 2,6-difluoropyridine-3-carboxaldehyde can be readily prepd. by consecutive treatment of 2,6-difluoropyridine with lithium diisopropylamide and N,N-dimethylformamide. Regioselective displacements of fluorine from the aldehyde ...
