Regioselective functionalization at specific positions, followed by resolution step and successive transformations through Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling chemistry furnish a series of modular PCP scaffolds. In our proof-of-concept study, on N-methylation, the PCPs bearing (cationic) pyridyl functionalities were demonstrated as useful molecular receptors in host-guest supramolecular assays. The PCPs on grafting with light-responsive azobenzene (−N=N−) functional core as side-groups impart photosensitivity that can be remotely transformed on irradiation, offering photo-controlled smart molecular functions. Furthermore, the symmetrical PCPs bearing bi-, and tetra-pyridyl functionalities at the peripheries have enormous potential to serve as ditopic and tetratopic 3D molecular tectons for engineering non-covalent supramolecular assemblies with new structural and functional attributes. © 2024 The Authors.

Charged and zwitterionic Gd3+-complexes of the well-known chelator 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) provide an excellent basis for the development of safe and sensitive contrast agents. In this report, we describe the synthesis of DOTA-NOx, a DOTA derivative with four N-oxide functionalities via "click" functionalization of the tetraazide DOTAZA. The resulting complexes Gd-DOTA-NOx and Eu-DOTA-NOx are stable compounds in aqueous solution. NMR-spectroscopic characterization revealed a high excess of the twisted square antiprismatic (TSAP) coordination geometry over square antiprismatic (SAP). The longitudinal relaxivity of Gd-DOTA-NOx was found to be r(1)=7.7 mm(-1) s(-1) (1.41 T, 37 degrees C), an unusually high value for DOTA complexes of comparable weight. We attribute this high relaxivity to the steric influence and an ordering effect on outer sphere water molecules surrounding the complex generated by the strongly hydrated N-oxide groups. Moreover, Gd-DOTA-NOx was found to be stable against transchelation with high excess of EDTA (200 eq) over a period of 36 h, and it has a similar in vitro cell toxicity as clinically used DOTA-based GBCAs.

These catalysts were employed in pharmaceutically relevant catalytic asymmetric reactions, such as Michael, Friedel–Crafts, and A 3 coupling reactions, in combination with Ag(I), Cu(II), and Ni(II) salts. We identified several organocatalyst‐metal salt combinations that led to a significant increase in both yield and enantioselectivity. To gain insight into the active catalyst species, we prepared organocatalyst‐metal complexes and characterized them using HRMS, NMR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations (B3LYP‐D4/def2‐TZVP), which allowed us to establish a structure‐activity relationship.

The activation pathway for the entire process is accurately characterized through the utilization of the activation strain model (ASM) of reactivity, shedding light on the underlying physical factors governing the process. The study also explores the hydrogenation process of multiple bonds with the help of B/N-FLP. The research findings demonstrate that the liberation of activated dihydrogen occurs in a synchronized, albeit noticeably asynchronous, fashion. The transformation is extensively elucidated using the activation strain model and the energy decomposition analysis. This approach suggests a co-operative double hydrogen-transfer mechanism, where the B-H hydride triggers a nucleophilic attack on the carbon atom of the multiple bonds, succeeded by the migration of the protic N-H.A DFT-based study explores the H2 activation by pyramidalized boron-based B/E-FLP (E=N, P, As, Sb and Bi, etc.) systems. The study also highlights the hydrogenation process of multiple bonds with the help of B/N-FLP.image LA - English DB - MTMT ER - TY - JOUR AU - Mehra, Sonali AU - Pandey, Rahul AU - Madan, Jaya AU - Sharma, Rajnish AU - Goswami, Lalit AU - Gupta, Govind AU - Singh, Vidya Nand AU - Srivastava, Avanish Kumar AU - Sharma, Shailesh Narain TI - Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of MAPbX3-Based Perovskites (X=Cl, Br, I) for Photovoltaic Applications JF - CHEMISTRYOPEN J2 - CHEMISTRYOPEN PY - 2023 PG - 15 SN - 2191-1363 DO - 10.1002/open.202300055 UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34348608 ID - 34348608 AB - This work mainly focuses on synthesizing and evaluating the efficiency of methylammonium lead halide-based perovskite (MAPbX(3) ; X=Cl, Br, I) solar cells. We used the colloidal Hot-injection method (HIM) to synthesize MAPbX(3) (X=Cl, Br, I) perovskites using the specific precursors and organic solvents under ambient conditions. We studied the structural, morphological and optical properties of MAPbX(3) perovskites using XRD, FESEM, TEM, UV-Vis, PL and TRPL (time-resolved photoluminescence) characterization techniques. The particle size and morphology of these perovskites vary with respect to the halide variation. The MAPbI(3) perovskite possesses a low band gap and low carrier lifetime but delivers the highest PCE among other halide perovskite samples, making it a promising candidate for solar cell technology. To further enrich the investigations, the conversion efficiency of the MAPbX(3) perovskites has been evaluated through extensive device simulations. Here, the optical constants, band gap energy and carrier lifetime of MAPbX(3) were used for simulating three different perovskite solar cells, namely I, Cl or Br halide-based perovskite solar cells. MAPbI(3) , MAPbBr(3) and MAPbCl(3) absorber layer-based devices showed similar to 13.7 %, 6.9 % and 5.0 % conversion efficiency. The correlation between the experimental and SCAPS simulation data for HIM-synthesized MAPBX(3) -based perovskites has been reported for the first time.

Dispersions of the clusters are long-term stable for two years at ambient conditions. The synthesis was performed by mixing tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4 center dot 3 H2O) with the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([Emim][DCA]) at temperatures of 20 to 80 degrees C. Characterization was performed with small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. A three-stage model is proposed for the formation of the clusters, in which cluster growth from gold nuclei takes place according to the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner (LSW) model followed by oriented attachment to form colloidal stable clusters.

Under mildly acidic conditions, aromatic aldehydes reacted reversibly with these oligonucleotides, converting the (2R,3S)-4-(methoxyamino)butane-1,2,3-triol unit into a 2-aryl-N-methoxy-1,3-oxazinane nucleoside analogue. The equilibrium of this reaction was found to be dependent on both the aldehyde and the nucleobase opposite to the modified residue. 9-Formyl-9-deazaadenine, combining a large stacking surface with an array of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, showed the highest affinity as well as selectivity consistent with the rules of Watson-Crick base pairing. 5-Formyluracil or indole-3-carbaldehyde, lacking in either stacking or hydrogen bonding ability, were incorporated with a much lower affinity and selectivity.
