Electrochemical Investigation of Ruthenium and Osmium Oligothiophene Complexes: How Does Metal Binding Affect the Oligothiophene π-System?
摘要:
We have studied the electrochemistry of a series of oligothiophene complexes with one or more ''Cp*Ru+'' ''CpRu(+)'', or ''CpOs(+)'' fragments (Cp=cyclopentadienyl; Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) attached to the oligothiophene pi-system. This series varies the metal (Ru or Os), ancillary ligand (Cp or Cp*), ring substituents (phenyl or methyl groups), and length of the oligothiophene (1-4 rings). The peak potentials for the oxidation of the free oligothiophenes and their complexes indicate that the electron hole produced upon oxidation of the complexes is delocalized on the uncomplexed rings of the oligothiophene. Oxidation of the complexes results in conductive films-on the electrode but the composition of the electrodeposited films is unclear. The electron added upon reduction of the complexes is localized on the [Cp/Cp*M(thiophene)](+) unit formed by complexation of the oligothiophene. We propose that complexation of a thiophene ring converts it into a [Cp/Cp*M(thiophene)](+) unit and removes it from conjugation with the remaining, uncomplexed rings. The unbound rings function as a shortened, metal-substituted oligothiophene unit. Complexation of oligothiophenes by "Cp*Ru+", "CpRu(+)", and "CpOs(+)" fragments is a rational method for controlling the properties of oligothiophenes.

A library of symmetrical linear oligothiophene was prepared employing decarboxylative cross-coupling reaction as the key transformation. Thiophene potassium carboxylate salts were used as cross-coupling partners without the need of co-catalyst, base, or additives. This method demonstrates complete chemoselectivity and is a comprehensive greener approach compared to the existing methods. The modularity

Hydroarylation is an effective strategy to rapidly increase the complexity of organic structures by transforming flat alkene moieties into three‐dimensional frameworks. Many strategies have already been developed to achieve the hydroarylation of styrenes, however most of these reports examine the hydroarylation of unpolar, β‐mono‐ or β‐unsubstituted styrenes, while exploring mainly electron‐rich benzene
