Selection of Betaine Building Blocks for the Construction of Quadrupolar Heterophane Frameworks
摘要:
The synthesis of a set of [(azolio)methyl]azolate betaines 3-6 designed by combination of a variety of heterocyclic fragments based on pyrazole, 1,2,4-triazole, and benzimidazole is reported. The dipolar nature of the betaines is discussed on the basis of H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopic data and dipole moment values, which range between 13.4 and 16.5 D. By exploitation of the sensitivity of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in both the positive and negative modes, several informative peaks and stable noncovalent polymolecular self-assembled structures in the gas phase were observed. From these results, the [(imidazolio)mettyl]-1,2,4-triazolate betaine subunits 1 were chosen as the most suitable building blocks for the construction of quadrupolar [1(n)]heterophanes.

Heterocyclic betaines. 13. Synthesis and electronic and molecular structures of methylenepyridinium and methyleneimidazolium azolate inner salts
摘要:
A convenient synthesis of several examples of betaines 3 and 4 is reported. The electronic and molecular structure of the title betaines 3 and 4 is investigated in terms of a single-crystal diffraction X-ray analysis of compound 7, spectroscopic methods, and experimental dipole moment values (12.34-15.34 D). Semiempirical molecular orbital calculations (MNDO and AM1 methods) provide a useful complementary information to the experimental results.
