    A structurally constrained, double-helical S,C-bridged tetraphenyl-para-phenylenediamine (TPPD) has been synthesized. The stable radical cation of the S,C-bridged TPPD was generated by chemical oxidation, and the electron spin was found to be delocalized over the entire π-conjugated framework. The excellent conformational stability of the neutral molecule facilitated the separation of its enantiomers.

    Four difluorenoheteroles having a central quinoidal core with the heteroring varying as furan, thiophene, its dioxide derivative and pyrrole have shown to be medium character diradicals. Solid-state structures, optical, photophysical, magnetic, and electrochemical properties have been discussed in terms of diradical character, variation of aromatic character and captodative effects (electron affinity). Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have been prepared, showing balanced hole and electron mobilities of the order of 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1 or ambipolar charge transport which is first inferred from their redox amphoterism. Quantum chemical calculations show that the electrical behavior is originated from the medium diradical character which produces similar reorganization energies for hole and electron transports. The vision of a diradical as simultaneously bearing pseudo-hole and pseudo-electron defects might justify the reduced values of reorganization energies for both regimes. Structure-function relationships between diradical and ambipolar electrical behavior are revealed.

    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd With the aim of developing new π-conjugated materials for application in electronics, the reductive methylation of triphthaloylbenzene is presented. Several new products are obtained: 5,6,11,12,17,18-hexamethoxy-trinaphthylene (1a) and two unexpected compounds, i.e., the corresponding monohydroxy-pentamethoxy-trinaphthylene (1b) and a peculiar trinaphtylene derivative (2) possessing hydroxy, methoxy, carbonyl, and ketal groups and a tetrahydrofuran moiety fused on the core. X-ray crystallographic analysis of 1b and 2 reveals that both compounds exhibit deformed frameworks. The investigation of their optical properties shows that the lowest-energy absorption bands for 1a and 1b are a shoulder band around 350 nm, whereas 2 gives rise to a one broad and weak band at 573 nm. All the molecules have negligible fluorescence. Addition of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene into a solution of 2 causes a color change from purple to olive brown, which renders it suitable as a pH indicator.

    © 2019, The Author(s). Although azomethine ylides have been fully exploited as versatile reactive intermediates in dipolar cycloaddition reactions to construct a variety of heterocyclic compounds involving a nitrogen atom, little is known about their structural and electronic properties. Here a method is developed for the preparation, isolation and characterization of a stable 2-azaphenalenyl based azomethine ylide. N-Phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl cannot be isolated because it undergoes rapid dimerization by C–C bond formation at the 1 and 3 positions. In contrast, sterically bulkier N-2,6-di(isopropyl)phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl can be generated and isolated as deep green crystals under deoxygenated conditions. X-ray crystal analysis of this stable azomethine ylide reveals that its azaphenalenyl skeleton has very small bond alternation and structural deformation. The results of spectroscopic and electrochemical theoretical studies indicate that N-2,6-di(isopropyl)phenyl-5,8-di-t-butyl-2-azaphenalenyl has electronic features that are similar to those of phenalenyl anion and it possesses an extremely high HOMO energy.

    © 2019 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim A soluble directly 2,2′-linked tetracene dimer was synthesized. Dimerization of 8-bromo-2,3-dihexyl-5,12-tetracenequinone afforded the corresponding bitetracenequinone, which was converted into a tetracene dimer by sequential addition of 1-hexynyllithium and SnCl 2 /HCl. The synthesized tetracene dimer with four hexyl and four 1-hexynyl groups was highly soluble in CH 2 Cl 2 and THF, and the solutions were unstable under air and room light. The compound was studied by X-ray single crystal analysis, UV/Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the crystal, two tetracene rings take a coplanar conformation although DFT calculations demonstrated that such a molecular structure is energetically unfavorable. The tetracene dimer had red-shifted absorption maxima and large molar extinction coefficients compared with the corresponding tetracene monomer. The tetracene dimer also showed amphoteric redox properties and p-type semiconducting behavior.

    © 2019 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim In this study, mechanochromic luminescence was induced in a complex of mechano-inactive compounds. Dye/acid complexes containing the same π-conjugated backbones were prepared. While the luminophore showed blue and red shifts in photoluminescence spectra when combined with different acids by grinding, it exhibited slight mechanoresponsiveness itself. Also, compounds with similar molecular backbones to the dye/acid complex were synthesized to clarify the color change mechanism. The compounds showed both blue and red shifts in photoluminescence and diffuse reflectance spectra upon grinding, indicating that mechanochromic luminescence in the hydrogen-bonded complex is like its monomeric analogue and that aggregation structure plays an important role in mechanoresponsive behavior rather than the π-conjugated structure. It was shown that a color change can be mechanically induced by imitating the solid-state aggregation structure of other mechanoresponsive compounds without synthetic modification.

    © 2018 Elsevier Ltd Acenaphthylene units work as a useful platform for the synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Three 1,2-diarylacenaphthylene derivatives (9-phenanthryl, 7-t-butyl-2-pyrenyl and 2-naphthyl) were prepared by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 1,2-dibromoacenaphthylene with the corresponding boronic acids and ester. The Scholl reaction of the phenanthryl derivative affords a donor-acceptor type fluoranthene derivative possessing a hemi-coronene structure by forming two C–C bonds between phenanthryl groups. The reaction of the pyrenyl derivative allows one C–C bond formation to give a helicene-type fluoranthene derivative. The reaction of the naphthyl derivative provides an asymmetric fluroranthene derivative having an anthracene unit accompanied with one C–C bonding reaction, while a photochemical cyclization followed by dehydroaromatization reaction of the compound gives a symmetric fluoranthene derivative with a [5]helicene structure.

    Acinetobacter sp. strain YAA has five genes (atdA1 to atdA5) involved in aniline oxidation as a part of the aniline degradation gene cluster. From sequence analysis, the five genes were expected to encode a glutamine synthetase (GS)-like protein (AtdA1), a glutamine amidotransferase-like protein (AtdA2), and an aromatic compound dioxygenase (AtdA3, AtdA4, and AtdA5) (M. Takeo, T. Fujii, and Y. Maeda, J. Ferment. Bioeng. 85:17-24, 1998). A recombinant Pseudomonas strain harboring these five genes quantitatively converted aniline into catechol, demonstrating that catechol is the major oxidation product from aniline. To elucidate the function of the GS-like protein AtdA1 in aniline oxidation, we purified it from recombinant Escherichia coli harboring atdA1. The purified AtdA1 protein produced gamma-glutamylanilide (gamma-GA) quantitatively from aniline and L-glutamate in the presence of ATP and MgCl2. This reaction was identical to glutamine synthesis by GS, except for the use of aniline instead of ammonia as the substrate. Recombinant Pseudomonas strains harboring the dioxygenase genes (atdA3 to atdA5) were unable to degrade aniline but converted gamma-GA into catechol, indicating that gamma-GA is an intermediate to catechol and a direct substrate for the dioxygenase. Unexpectedly, a recombinant Pseudomonas strain harboring only atdA2 hydrolyzed gamma-GA into aniline, reversing the gamma-GA formation by AtdA1. Deletion of atdA2 from atdA1 to atdA5 caused gamma-GA accumulation from aniline in recombinant Pseudomonas cells and inhibited the growth of a recombinant Acinetobacter strain on aniline, suggesting that AtdA2 prevents gamma-GA accumulation that is harmful to the host cell.

    Alkylphenols (APs) are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic environments and have endocrine disrupting and toxic effects on aquatic organisms. To investigate biodegradation mechanisms of APs, an AP degradation gene cluster was cloned from a butylphenol (BP)-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas putida MT4. The gene cluster consisted of 13 genes named bupBA1A2A3A4A5A6CEH1FG From the nucleotide sequences, bupA1A2A3A4A5A6 were predicted to encode a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (PH), whereas bupBCEHIFG were expected to encode meta-cleavage pathway enzymes. A partial sequence of a putative NtrC-type regulatory gene, bupR, was also found upstream of the gene bupB. This result indicates that APs can be initially oxidized into alkylcatechols (ACs), followed by the meta-cleavage of the aromatic rings. To confirm this pathway, AP degradation tests were carried out using the recombinant P putida KT2440 harboring the PH genes (bupA1A2A3A4A5A6). The recombinant strain oxidized 4-n-APs with an alkyl chain of up to C7 (<= C7) efficiently and also several BPs including those with an alkyl chain with some degree of branching. Therefore, it was found that PH had a broad substrate specificity for APs with a medium-length alkyl chain (C3-C7). Moreover, the cell extract of a recombinant Escherichia coli harboring bupB (a catechol 2,3-dioxygenase gene) converted 4-n-ACs with an alkyl chain of <= C9 into yellow meta-cleavage products with a maximum absorbance at 379 nm, indicating that the second step enzyme in this pathway is also responsible for the degradation of ACs with a medium-length alkyl chain. These results suggest that MT4 is a very useful strain in the biodegradation of a wide range of APs with a medium-length alkyl chain, which known nonylphenol-degrading Sphingomonas strains have never degraded.

    Photoinduced orientation of a new photo-cross-linkable liquid crystalline polymer film comprising a 4-methoxycinnamoyloxy group connected with a tolane moiety (PMCT6M) is presented. High molecular reorientation order with a biref"ringence value of 0.27 is achieved by exposing the film to linearly polarized ultraviolet light and subsequent annealing. The required degree of the photoreaction for the effective reorientation is 2-5 mol%. Small amount of photo-cross-linked mesogenic groups controls the thermal enhancement of the molecular reorientation.

    Studies of photoinduced magnetization and photoinduced absorption in molecule-based magnet Mn(TCNE)(x).y(CH2Cl2) (xapproximate to2, ysimilar to0.8, TCNE=tetracyanoethylene) are reported. Optical excitation in the blue region of spectrum leads to increased magnetization, accompanied by changes in the electronic spectrum. These effects are preserved long after illumination, indicating formation of a highly metastable electronic state. Partial reversal of the photoinduced effects is obtained by excitation with lower energy visible light. The results suggest that the photoinduced effects are controlled by two distinct electronic transitions. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    現在携帯電話等の電子機器に用いられているリチウムイオン二次電池の正極材料にはレアメタル酸化物が用いられており代替品の開発が喫緊の課題になっている。申請者はこれまでアセン系有機電子材料の開発を行ってきた。有機系電子材料を正極材料に用いたリチウムイオン二次電池は、無機系電極材料を用いたものと比べ、安価で小型・軽量な電気製品を実現できる。本研究では、アセンキノン系有機電極材料の合成とこれを用いたリチウムイオン二次電池の性能評価を行い、新しい正極材料の開発に取り組む。最終的には、現在のレアメタル酸化物正極材料に替わる、軽量で高エネルギー密度の新しいリチウムイオン二次電池の開発を目指す。
