    On the Preparation and Spectroelectrochemical Characterization of Certain 2,5-Bis(het)aryl Substituted Thiophenes
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2024) Dmitrieva, Evgenia; Barche, Jens; Popov, Alexey A.; Hartmann, Horst
    In this work, a series of novel 2,5-bis(het)aryl and 2,5-bis-thienyl substituted thiophenes have been synthesized and characterized by ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry. From the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)/UV-Vis-NIR spectroelectrochemical data, information about the optical and magnetic properties of the charged species of these compounds have been provided. The spin distributions in the electrochemically generated radical ions were estimated experimentally and compared with theoretical data.

    Synthesis, Electronic Properties and Reactivity of [B12X11(NO2)]2− (X=F–I) Dianions
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Asmis, Knut R.; Beele, Björn B.; Jenne, Carsten; Kawa, Sebastian; Knorke, Harald; Nierstenhöfer, Marc C.; Wang, Xue-Bin; Warneke, Jonas; Warneke, Ziyan; Yuan, Qinqin
    Nitro-functionalized undecahalogenated closo-dodecaborates [B12X11(NO2)]2− were synthesized in high purities and characterized by NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, single crystal X-diffraction, mass spectrometry, and gas-phase ion vibrational spectroscopy. The NO2 substituent leads to an enhanced electronic and electrochemical stability compared to the parent perhalogenated [B12X12]2− (X=F–I) dianions evidenced by photoelectron spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and quantum-chemical calculations. The stabilizing effect decreases from X=F to X=I. Thermogravimetric measurements of the salts indicate the loss of the nitric oxide radical (NO.). The homolytic NO. elimination from the dianion under very soft collisional excitation in gas-phase ion experiments results in the formation of the radical [B12X11O]2−.. Theoretical investigations suggest that the loss of NO. proceeds via the rearrangement product [B12X11(ONO)]2−. The O-bonded nitrosooxy structure is thermodynamically more stable than the N-bonded nitro structure and its formation by radical recombination of [B12X11O]2−. and NO. is demonstrated. © 2020 The Authors.
