Directionality of Halogen-Bonds: Insights from 2D Energy Decomposition Analysis
Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 23:e202301106. doi: 10.1002/asia.202301106. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHalogen bonds are typically observed to have a linear arrangement with a 180° angle between the nucleophile and the halogen bond acceptor X-R. This linearity is commonly explained using the σ-hole model, although there have been alternative explanations involving exchange repulsion forces. We employ two-dimensional Distortion/Interaction and Energy Decomposition Analysis to examine the archetypal H3 N⋯X2 halogen bond systems. Our results indicate that although halogen bonds are predominantly electrostatic, their directional...

Direct Through-Space Substituent- π Interactions in Noncovalent Arene-Fullerene Assemblies
Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 22:e202400075. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400075. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe arene-arene interactions between electron-rich and deficient aromatics have been less understood. Herein, we focus on a [60]fullerene π-surface as an electron-deficient aromatics. Using a 1H signal of H2O@C60 as a magnetic probe, the presence of benzene-fullerene interactions was confirmed. To investigate substituent effects on the noncovalent arene-fullerene interactions, NMR titration experiments were carried out using an open-[60]fullerene and a series of substituted benzenes, i.e., PhX (X = NO2, CN, Cl, OMe, H, CH3, an...

Sodium-Mediated Reductive C-C Bond Cleavage Assisted by Boryl Groups
Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 22:e202400100. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn contrast to the well-established oxidative C=C double bond cleavage to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds, little is known about reductive C=C double bond cleavage. Here we report that C-C single bond cleavage in 1,2-diaryl-1,2-diborylethanes proceeds by reduction with sodium metal to yield α-boryl benzylsodium species. In combination with our previous reductive diboration of stilbenes, the overall transformation represents reductive cleavage of the C=C double bonds of stilbene to yield α-boryl-α-sodiated toluenes....

An Isolable THF-coordinated Dialkylgermanone
Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 21:e202400111. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400111. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA stable dialkylgermanone was generated by mixing a solid of the corresponding dialkylgermylene and gaseous N2O. While the dialkylgermanone is marginally persistent in solution and gradually converts to its head-to-tail dimer at room temperature, the addition of THF to the dialkylgermanone provided an isolable THF-coordinated dialkylgermanone. The THF-coordinated dialkylgermanone reacts with H2O, THF, and B(C6F5)3 similar to the corresponding base-free two-coordinate dialkylsilanone. The dialkylgermanone undergoes deoxygenation...

Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 21:e202400080. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400080. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSolid-state assembling modes are as crucial as the chemical structures of single molecules for real applications. In this work, solid-state structures and phase-transition temperatures are investigated for a series of fluoranthene-fused [3.3.3]propellanes consisting of a rigid three-dimensional (3D) π-core and varying lengths of alkoxy groups. Compounds in this series with n-butoxy or longer alkoxy groups take an amorphous state at room temperature. In these molecules, rotatable biaryl-type bonds are not incorporated and high ...

Solid-State Emissive Pillar[6]arene Derivatives Having Alternate Methylene and Nitrogen Bridges
Chem Asian J. 2024 Feb 21:e202400106. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400106. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMacrocyclic arenes show conformational adaptability, which allows host-guest complexations with the size-matched guest molecules. However, their emission properties are often poor in the solid states due to the self-absorption. Herein, we newly synthesized pillar[6]arene derivatives having alternate methylene and nitrogen bridging structures. Solvatochromic study reveals that the nitrogen-embedding into the cyclic structures can strengthen the intramolecular charge transfer (CT) nature compared to that of the linear nitrogen-br...
