Electronically deactivated and/or sterically hindered substrates undergo the Newman–Kwartrearrangement (NKR) at around 300 °C, beyond the range of most convenient and safe, small-scale laboratory equipment. We report here the convenient conversions of several difficult substrates using modern microwave technology, which has proven ideal for investigating this high temperature reaction in all but the most
Bulky 2,6-diphenylphenylsulfanyl substituents efficiently inhibit aggregation in phthalocyanines and tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines and control their photophysical and electrochemical properties
Octasubstituted zinc, metal-free and magnesium complexes of phthalocyanine and tetrapyrazinoporphyrazine bearing very bulky 2,6-diphenylphenylsulfanyl substituents were synthesized. The substituents efficiently inhibited aggregation of the dyes and only monomers were detected even at a concentration of 200 μM solution in toluene. Photophysical data indicated influence of the heavy-atom effect – magnesium
Asymmetric ZnPc derivatives with two carboxyl and six diphenylphenoxy or diphenylthiophenol groups were synthesized as dye of DSSCs. Those ZnPcs exhibit strong red/near-IR light absorption, and Zn-tri-PcNc-5 with six diphenylthiophenol groups shows obvious redshift in the Q-band and enhanced absorbance compared to Zn-tri-PcNc-4 with six diphenylphenoxy groups, while Zn-tri-PcNc-4 yielded a 3.22% efficiency in sensitizing TiO2-based solar cell, much higher than that (1.30%) of the S-substituted analog (Zn-tri-PcNc-5). The decreased efficiency of Zn-tri-PcNc-5 is due to the molecular orbital shift to negative direction, stemmed from S atoms instead of O atoms in the six substituents of Zn-tri-PcNc-4, which leads to insufficient driving force for the electron injection. The present results demonstrate that the optimization of molecular orbital levels of ZnPcs via changing the substituents' "push-pull" effect is an effective approach to improve the ZnPc-sensitized cell performance.

Reaction of [MoCl2(CO)4] with the 2,6-diphenylthiophenolate anion (dpt) gives the complex [Mo(eta-6-dpt)(dpt)(CO)], with one thiol phenyl substituent eta-6-bonded to the molybdenum. Crystal data: space group P2(1)/c with a = 13.939(3), b = 10.548(3), c = 20.863(5) angstrom, beta = 106.88(1)-degrees and Z = 4. The eta-6-arene ligand is labile and is reversibly replaced by CO. Replacement of this ligand also occurs with 2,2'-bipyridyl(dipy),1,10-phenanthroline (phen), and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) to give the dicarbonyl complexes [Mo(dpt)2(CO)2L] (L = bipy or phen) or the monocarbonyl complex [Mo(dpt)2(CO)(dppe)]. The X-ray crystal structure of the bipy derivative and the mechanism of its formation is discussed. Crystal data: space group P2(1)/c with a = 10.567(3), b = 22.843(5), c = 18.341(3) angstrom, beta = 105.2(2)-degrees and Z = 4. Reaction of RhCl3 with dpt gave the dinuclear species [Rh2mu-SC6H3(C6H4)-2-Ph-6}2(dpt)2(NCMe)2]. An X-ray crystal structure reveals that each bridging thiolate ligand is also sigma-bonded to rhodium [Rh-C 2.016(8) angstrom] via one of the phenyl carbons of the thiolate substituents. Crystal data: space group P2(1)/n, a = 11.991(2), b = 20.426(4), c = 15.910(4) angstrom, beta = 90.42(1) and Z = 2.
