1,1-Cyclopropane diesters with donor substituents undergo formal [3+3] cycloaddition with various silyl nitronates under Yb(OTf)3 catalysis in the presence of a proton scavenger to give target N-silyloxy tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines in 56–98% yield. The reasons determining the reaction diastereoselectivity are discussed. The resulting tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines are transformed into pyrroline-N-oxides via a novel TfOH-promoted silanol elimination reaction.

The reduction of a vat dye isoviolanthrone to the dianion state in the presence of metal-containing compounds yields binuclear coordination complexes. Two manganese(II) acetylacetonate units coordinate to isoviolanthrone2− (L) in {(K+)cryptand}2{[MnII(acac)2]2⋅L}2– (1) with an average Mn–O bond length of 2.022(2) Å.

Coordination architectures involving high-spin S = 5/2 manganese (II) tetraphenylporphyrins (MnIITPP) and a series of π-conjugated linkers have been obtained. Different molecules (isoviolanthrone, 6,13-pentacenequinone, 1,2,4-triazole anions coordinated to manganese (II) phthalocyanine [(MnII(triazole−)2Pc)]2−) in either dianion or neutral states were used as linkers in these architectures.

The interaction between photochromic 8-methoxy-1′,3′,3′-trimethyl-6-nitro-spiro[chromene-2,2′-indole] (MNSP) and cobalt(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate yields a deep red-violet solution due to the coordination-induced transition of MNSP from a colorless closed state to a colored open merocyanine (MC) form. The resulting complex {CoII(hfac)2·MNSP} (1) is obtained as crystals, and its structure at 250 K shows the coordination of two oxygen atoms ...

Сyclocondensation of phenyl, ortho-bromophenyl, para-phenylphenyl, para-methoxycarbonylphenyl, para-tolyl and para-methoxyphenyl boronic acid with curcumin in the presence of K3PO4 upon refluxing in 1,4-dioxane for 24 h leads to the formation of curcumin-based 2,2-diaryl-1,3,2-dioxaborines in good yields. The absorption-emission spectra of the synthesized fluorescent conjugates and 1,3,2-dioxaborine with para-biphenyl boronic substituent demonstrated the highest quantum yield. Among the compounds studied, conjugate curcumin with para-methoxycarbonylphenyl boronic substituent ...

Benzenoid hydrocarbons are structurally regular aromatic compounds, which makes them well suited for quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) studies. This study presents a QSPR analysis of nineteen benzenoid hydrocarbon species using degree-based topological co-indices. We developed a Python program to compute eleven degree-based topological co-indices from molecular graphs and evaluated their ability to explain variations in ...

In this work, we combine experimental characterization and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing the impregnation of mefenamic acid (MFA) into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) aerogels. NCC aerogels were impregnated with MFA in scCO2, and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption revealed a concentration-dependent decrease in surface area, pore volume, and pore size, with an ...

We derive the stress tensor of a flexible polymer solution within the Gaussian-chain self-consistent field theory (SCFT) without invoking the ground-state dominance (GSD) approximation. Starting from a covariant formulation of the single-chain partition function in a background metric, we obtain the symmetric stress tensor expressed through the full Edwards propagators. The result contains the local ...

Two new supramolecular halometalate hybrid complexes, (H2bpen){[MCl5](I2)} (M = Sb(III) (1) and Bi(III) (2); bpen – 1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, have been prepared. Despite very close similarity of the nature of cations, they reveal significant structural difference from the (H2bpe){[MCl5](I2)} (bpe – 1,2-bis(4-pyridil)ethane) reported earlier. We discuss these features, along with thermal stability, optical properties as well as Raman spectra ...

The electric double layer (EDL) at a single-crystal metal surface is controlled not only by the electrolyte composition and the electrode potential, but also by the atomic structure of the surface itself. This makes the Ag(hkl)/NaF interface a stringent test for continuum theories of the EDL. In the third part of our series, we examine ...

A self-consistent statistical-mechanical theory of the Hall effect in electrolyte solutions is developed by extending the self-consistent Debye–Hückel–Onsager (SCDHO) framework to crossed electric and magnetic fields. The theory incorporates non-local ionic charge distributions via Slater-type form factors, regularizing the Coulomb interaction at short range, and accounts for dielectric friction through ion-specific coefficients, employing experimental values ...

We present two models with explicit long-range electrostatics in the form of Coulomb interactions. Both models include point charges depending on their local atomic environments, and the second model also conserves a total charge of an atomic system. We combine the proposed long-range models with the local moment tensor potential (MTP) and demonstrate that they ...

Unstable tetra(methoxycarbonyl)cyclopentadienone was investigated in the synthesis of electron-deficient cycloheptatrienes via [4+2]-cycloaddition/cycloelimination reaction with cyclopropenes. The use of its stable dimer did not afford the product although similar reactions with alkynes have been reported. Quantum chemical calculation revealed that cyclopentadienone is not generated from the dimer and the reaction with alkynes proceeds via a more ...

A method for the introduction of a halogen atom into the methyl group attached to the C-3 atom of five- and six-membered cyclic nitronates (isoxazoline N-oxides and oxazine N-oxides, respectively) has been studied. The process involves silylation of starting 3-methyl-substituted cyclic nitronates followed by halogenation of the resulting N-(silyloxy)enamines. While five- and six-membered cyclic enamines behave similarly toward ...
