ABSTRACT Modifications of the Small Molecule Maltol and Photoactivity ABSTRACT Modifications of the Small Molecule Maltol and Photoactivity when Coordinated to Transition Metals Britain C. Bruner, Ph.D. Advisor: Patrick J. Farmer, Ph.D. The family of hetero-substituted maltol chelators, thiomaltol (Htma), dithiomaltol (Httma), and 3-hydroxypyridine-4-thione (Hopto) have been used to generate complexes with Ru(II), Pt(II), Ti(IV), and P(III) that exhibit unique photochemical and photophysical properties. Photo-excitation into ligand-based absorption bands of + complexes [Ru(bpy)2(ttma)] and Zn(ttma)2 engendered electron transfer reactions. Both complexes exhibit long-lived triplet emissions in the near IR spectral region. + Photochemical experiments with [Ru(bpy)2(ttma)] formed alcohol and aldehyde products upon photolysis in presence of mild oxidants that do not oxidize in the dark, 3+ 2+ such as methyl viologen, [Ru(NH3)6] and [Co(NH3)5Cl] . A family of new Pt(II) bipyridyl complexes are reported using the maltol-derived ligands as electron-donors. The [Pt(bpy)L]+ complexes display intense and long-lived luminescences due to Ligand- to-Ligand Charge Transfer (LLCT) states; these luminescences are quenched by electron acceptors such as methylviologen and O2. These compounds are also efficient at singlet 1 oxygen ( O2) generation and quenching. Likewise, a family of Ti(IV) complexes with maltol-derived chelators has been synthesized to model the use in dye-sensitized solar cell applications. Lastly, several novel six-coordinate phosphorous complexes with the chelators of the formula P(L)2X2 were synthesized, which also exhibit room temperature emissions. These several families of photo-active complexes represent a useful palette of dyes for photochemical applications.

No- ria Alta, Guanajuato, C.P. 36050, Gto., Mexico ABSTRACT: The heteroarene 1,4-bis(CAAC)-1,4-diborabenzene (1; CAAC = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene) reacts with 6 [(MeCN)3M(CO)3] (M = Cr, Mo, W) to yield half-sandwich complexes of the form [(η -diborabenzene)M(CO)3] (M = Cr (2), Mo (3), W (4)). Investigation of the new complexes with a combination of X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic methods and DFT calculations 6 shows that ligand 1 is a remarkably strong electron donor. In particular, [(η -arene)M(CO)3] complexes of this ligand display the lowest CO stretching frequencies yet observed for this class of complex. Cyclic voltammetry on complexes 2-4 revealed one reversi- ble oxidation and two reversible reduction events in each case, with no evidence of ring-slippage of the arene to the η4 binding mode. Treatment of 4 with lithium metal in THF led to identification of the paramagnetic complex [(1)W(CO)3]Li·2THF (5). Compound 1 can also be reduced in the absence of a transition metal to its dianion 12–, which possesses a quinoid-type structure. Half-sandwich complexes of arenes are among the most well- Of the boron derivatives,12 neutral borabenzenes,13-14 in known of all organometallic compounds.

Compounds of this type are frequently encountered in natural products and a majority of all biologically-active molecules are heterocycles. This thesis concerns the synthesis of three distinct classes of heterocyclic natural products and analogues. Likonide B and smenochromene C are two structurally-related oxygen-containing heterocyclic marine natural products that feature a unique ansa-bridged farnesyl quinol moiety which is considered to be an interesting structural motif for synthetic studies.

    Aryl-substituted Triarsiranes: Synthesis and Reactivity André Schumann,a Jonas Bresien,b Malte Fischer,a Christian Hering-Junghans*a Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Uwe Rosenthal on the occasion of his 70th birthday. [a] M.Sc. André Schumann, Dr. Malte Fischer and Dr. Christian Hering-Junghans Leibniz Institut für Katalyse e.V. (LIKAT) A.-Einstein-Str.3a, 18059 Rostock (Germany) E-mail: [email protected] Website: https://www.catalysis.de/forschung/aktivierung-kleiner-molekuele/ [b] Dr. Jonas Bresien Anorganische Chemie, Institut für Chemie Universität Rostock A.-Einstein-Str.3a, 18059 Rostock (Germany) Supporting information for this article is given via a link at the end of the document. Abstract: Cyclotriarsanes are rare and limited synthetic approaches have hampered reactivity studies on these systems. Described in here is a scalable synthetic protocol i i towards (AsAr)3 (Ar = Dip, 2,6- Pr2-C6H3; Tip, 2,4,6- Pr3-C6H2), which allowed to study their reactivity towards [Cp2Ti(C2(SiMe3)2], affording titanocene diarsene complexes and towards N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give straightforward access to a variety of NHC-arsinidene adducts. The electronic structure of the titanium diarsene complxes has been studied and they are best described as Ti(IV) species with a doubly reduced As2Ar2 ligand. These findings will make (AsAr)3 valuable precursors in the synthetic inorganic and organic chemistry. The first homoleptic cyclooligoarsane (AsPh)6 was discovered by Michaelis and Schulte when they reduced phenyl arsenic oxide with crystalline hypophosphorous acid in refluxing ethanol, affording pale yellow crystals that were believed to be the diarsene PhAs=AsPh, the so-called arsabenzene (Scheme 1, top).[1] Even though the synthesis and reactivity of the related cyclooligophosphanes (PR) n (n = 3,4,5,6) has been studied [2] in detail, the heavier oligopnictanes (PnR)n (Pn = As, Sb, Bi; n = 3,4,5,6) have received considerably less interest.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "tai^et ' for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

ABSTRACT This thesis describes the results of investigations into the chemistry of ruthenium complexes of hexa-hapto spectator ligands. Two specific systems have been examined. Chapters 2 - 5 describe aspects of the chemistry of the ruthenium(IV) chloride bridged compound [ {Ru(T|^:T|^-CioHi6)Cl(p-Cl) which contains the r|^:r|^-Z?w(allyl) ligand 2,7-dimethylocta-2,6-diene-l,8-diyl, derived from the ruthenium trichloride mediated dimérisation of isoprene. In Chapters 6 and 7 the reactivity of arenes and cyclohexadienes is examined in ruthenium complexes of the polyaromatic T|^-spectator [2.2]paracyclophane.
