Crystallographic observation of an olefin photodimerization reaction that takes place via thermal molecular tumbling within a self-assembled host.

چکیده
In situ crystallography reveals that the solid state [2 + 2] photodimerization of acenaphthylene in a coordination cage takes place smoothly without preorganizaiton of reaction centers at a preferred geometry, because the substrate tumbles thermally in the large hollow of the cage.

Engineering Nano-aggregates: β-Cyclodextrin Facilitates the Thiol-Gold Nanoparticle Self-Assembly
The structure and morphology of nonmaterial formed by colloidal synthesis represent a subject of interest as it is a factor deciding the physicochemical properties and biological applications of nanostructures. Among various nanoparticles, gold can develop fractal assembled patterns. Herein, we report a nano-aggregate of a thiol-on-gold self-assembled structure and the influence of β-cyclodextr...
متن کاملApplications of a bis-urea phenylethynylene self-assembled nanoreactor for [2 + 2] photodimerizations.
Confined environments can be used to alter the selectivity of a reaction by influencing the organization of the reactants, altering the mobility of trapped molecules, facilitating one reaction pathway or selectively stabilizing the products. This manuscript utilizes a series of potentially photoreactive guests to interrogate the utility of the one-dimensional nanochannels of a porous host to ab...

Riboflavin and protoporphyrin IX are two molecules that participate in oxidation and reduction reactions in the living cell. Changing some functional groups of riboflavin and protoporphyrin IX can provide compounds with self-assembled monolayer properties with wide applications in designing the molecular electronic devices. In this study, the amphiphilic structure of riboflavin and protopor...
متن کاملHighly Efficient Cascade Reaction for Selective Formation of Spirocyclobutenes from Dienallenes via Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Double Carbocyclization–Carbonylation–Alkynylation
A highly selective cascade reaction that allows the direct transformation of dienallenes to spirocyclobutenes (spiro[3.4]octenes) as single isomers has been developed. The reaction involves formation of overall four C-C bonds and proceeds via a palladium-catalyzed oxidative transformation with insertion of olefin, olefin, and carbon monoxide. Under slightly different reaction conditions an addi...
متن کاملSurface-Confined Molecular Self-Assembly
The design and fabrication of nanometer-sized entities of defined structure on the nanometer scale is a challenge hardly achievable by large-scale top-down procedures. In particular, alternative techniques are needed to structure surfaces at very small length scales. In nanotechnology the process of self-assembly has become a potent method which allows to vanquish these difficulties. Self-assem...
