Femtosecond mid-IR transient absorption spectroscopy (TRIR) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations on Re(CO)(3)Cl(Me(2)BPTZ) [Me(2)BPTZ = 3,6-bis(5-methyl-2-pyridine)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine] are used to demonstrate that the lowest excited state of the complex is a triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer ((3)MLCT) state with a lifetime of 225 ps. The short excited-state li...

Dynamic alterations in cell surface glycosylation occur in numerous biological processes that involve cell-cell communication and cell migration. We report here imaging of cell surface glycosylation in live mice using double click chemistry. Cell surface glycans were metabolically labeled using peracetylated azido-labeled N-acetylgalactosamine and then reacted, in the first click reaction, with...

The synthesis and properties of several new high-nitrogen materials with 3-amino-6-nitroamino-tetrazine (ANAT) as the anion are reported; all salts were fully characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.

New phosphorogenic bioorthogonal probes derived from mononuclear and binuclear rhenium(I) polypyridine complexes containing a 1,2,4,5-tetrazine moiety were designed; these complexes displayed substantial dienophile-induced emission enhancement, and accelerated reaction kinetics and could target a protein conjugate in living cells.

The significance of organic compounds in such fields as electronics and photonics has been growing rapidly since the electrical conductivity of doped polyacetylene had been discovered. Despite the continuous development of organic electronics, there is still a problem with the stability of such systems, especially these which are based on electron transporting (ndoped) materials due to their lo...

The isomeric di-1,2,3,4-tetrazine tetraoxides DTTO and iso-DTTO have aroused considerable interest in recent years as potential energetic compounds, due to their predicted high densities and heats of formation and superior detonation properties. While neither has yet been synthesized, it has been suggested that the N→O linkages on alternate nitrogens will have a stabilizing effect. In the prese...

ABSTRACT Bioorthogonal ligations have emerged as highly versatile chemical tools for biomedical research. The exceptionally fast reaction between 1,2,4,5-tetrazines and trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs), also known as tetrazine ligation, is frequently used in this regard. Growing numbers of applications for the tetrazine ligation led to an increased demand for TCO compounds, whose commercial availabili...

Correction for ‘ s -Tetrazine-functionalized hyper-crosslinked polymers efficient photocatalytic synthesis of benzimidazoles’ by Wan-Kai An et al. , Green Chem. 2021, 23 1292–1299, https://doi.org/10.1039/d0gc03719b.

Tetrazine ligations have proven to be a powerful bioorthogonal technique for the detection of many labeled biomolecules, but the ligating nature of these reactions can limit reaction turnover in templated chemistry. We have developed a transfer reaction between 7-azabenzonorbornadiene derivatives and fluorogenic tetrazines that facilitates turnover amplification of the fluorogenic response in n...
