TL;DR: The association of heptamethine cyanine cation 1(+) with various counterions A (A = Br(-), I(-), PF(6)(-), SbF(6), B(C(6)F(5)), TRISPHAT) was realized, and their absorption properties were studied in polar (DCM) and apolar (toluene) solvents.
Abstract: The association of heptamethine cyanine cation 1(+) with various counterions A (A = Br(-), I(-), PF(6)(-), SbF(6)(-), B(C(6)F(5))(4)(-), TRISPHAT) was realized. The six different ion pairs have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, and their absorption properties were studied in polar (DCM) and apolar (toluene) solvents. A small, hard anion (Br(-)) is able to strongly polarize the polymethine chain, resulting in the stabilization of an asymmetric dipolar-like structure in the crystal and in nondissociating solvents. On the contrary, in more polar solvents or when it is associated with a bulky soft anion (TRISPHAT or B(C(6)F(5))(4)(-)), the same cyanine dye adopts preferentially the ideal polymethine state. The solid-state and solution absorption properties of heptamethine dyes are therefore strongly correlated to the nature of the counterion.
TL;DR: Photophysical measurements and NMR spectroscopy carried out in acetone (CD(3)COCD(3)) and acetonitrile solutions reveal that the much larger TRISPHAT(-) anion favors predominantly the encirclement of the green site by the blue box.
TL;DR: Both enantiomers of TRISPHAT anion can be obtained on a multigram scale through a novel resolution procedure and are prepared as the cinchonidinium derivative and Lambda-1, respectively.
Abstract: Both enantiomers of TRISPHAT anion can be obtained on a multigram scale through a novel resolution procedure. The Lambda enantiomer is isolated as the tri-n-butylammonium salt, [(n)()Bu(3)NH][Lambda-1], which is soluble in pure CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2). The Delta enantiomer is prepared as the cinchonidinium derivative, which is only soluble in polar solvent mixtures (>7.5% DMSO in CHCl(3)).
TL;DR: In this paper, a chiral recognition between the Δ-Trisphat anion and a single enantiomer cation was achieved through a π−π interaction.
Abstract: The racemic triangular supramolecular host [Cp*Rh(5-chloro-2,3-dioxopyridine)]3 (1) was prepared in high yield. Treatment with LiCl followed by addition of silver salt AgOTf gave the triflate salt species [Li⊂{Cp*Rh(5-chloro-2,3-dioxopyridine)}3][OTf] (2). Subsequent anion metathesis using the optically pure chiral shift reagent [Cinchonidinium][Δ-Trisphat] produced a pair of diastereomers [Li⊂(R,R,R)-{Cp*Rh(5-chloro-2,3-dioxopyridine)}3][Δ-Trisphat] (3a) and [Li⊂(S,S,S)-{Cp*Rh(5-chloro-2,3-dioxopyridine)}3][Δ-Trisphat] (3b). The resolution of these diastereomers was achieved by fractional crystallization, and their stereochemistry relationship was established by circular dichroism studies. The X-ray molecular structure of 3a is reported and shows as an outstanding feature a chiral recognition between the Δ-Trisphat anion and a single enantiomer cation [Li⊂(R,R,R)-{Cp*Rh(5-chloro-2,3-dioxopyridine)}3]+ manifested through a π−π interaction. 1H NMR and circular dichroism studies in solution support the soli...
TL;DR: 1H, (19)F and (31)P pulsed field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) diffusion studies on chiral organic salts that contain hexacoordinate phosphate anions, namely tris(tetrachlorobenzenediolato)phosphate(V) (TRISPHAT) and bis(tTrisphAT)mono([1,1']binaphthalenyl-2,2'diolato)-phosphates(V
Abstract: 1H, (19)F and (31)P pulsed field gradient spin-echo (PGSE) diffusion studies on chiral organic salts that contain hexacoordinate phosphate anions, namely tris(tetrachlorobenzenediolato)phosphate(V) (TRISPHAT) and bis(tetrachlorobenzenediolato)mono([1,1']binaphthalenyl-2,2'diolato)-phosphate(V) (BINPHAT), are reported. The first example of the dependence of a diffusion value on diastereomeric structure is presented. Marked solvent and concentration effects on the diffusion constants (D) of these salts are noted and the question of ion pairing is discussed.
