Bis phenylenes

Hydrogenation of 5,10-diazabenzo[6]biphenylene with Raney nickel in hot ethanol gave 2-phenylquinoxaline in 78% yield (9). Similar hssion of the four-membered ring occurs with biphenylene itself and with substituted bi-phenylenes (5). 

Few examples of photochemical dehydrogenation reactions accompanied by cyclization are reported in the literature. 2,3,5-Triphenyl-tetrazolium chloride (CV), which is used biochemically as reduction indicator, on irradiation in ethanol with ultraviolet light, undergoes dehydrogenation accompanied by cyclization to yield 2,3 (2,2 -bi-phenylene)-5-phenyltetrazolium chloride (CVI).106 167 Light-induced cyclization of substituted derivatives of CV to the corresponding bi-phenylene derivatives has been reported recently. sl 33... 

Polyester macromonomers were also prepared by Hudecek et al. 92) who reacted polyesters with hydroxy end groups. With the mono-adduct of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and methylene-bis-phenylene isocyanate (MD1) one obtains ... 

Several bis(/ -phenylene)-32-crown-10-based cryptands with a variety of different moieties on the third bridge, best represented by 121, have been studied with respect to their ability to form with paraquat and bisparaquat derivatives [2]- and [3]pseudorotaxane-like structures. These inclusion complexes are observed both in the solid state (X-ray analysis) and in solution, where very high association constants have been measured by means of H NMR spectroscopy <19990L1001, 2003JA9272, 2005JOC3231, 2006CC1929>.

Sinicropi et al. (1996a) measured hole mobilities of ENA-B doped into a series of polymers poly(styrene) (P-1), bisphenol-A polycarbonate (P-2), pofy(4,4 -isopropylidene bisphenylene-co-4,4 -hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis-phenylene (50/50) terephthalate-co-azelate (65/35) (P-3), poly(4,4 -(2-norbotyli-dene)diphenylene terephthalate-co-azelate (40/60) (P-4), a phosgene-based polyester carbonate (P-5), and poly(vinyl butyral) (P-6). The ENA-B concentrations were 45%. Figure 64 shows the room temperature field dependencies. The mobilities vary by over four orders of magnitude. The field and temperature dependencies were described as log/i fiEl/2 and -(TJT)2. Table S summarizes the results.

In accordance with the above, three different 4,4 -bipyridinium dications of type 28 with R = H, CH or were prepared as their (di-)hexafluorophosphate salts. Heating of an acetonitrile solution of each of these with four mole equivalents of bis-/ -phenylene-34-crown-10 for 10 days at 60 °C led to isolation of the corresponding rotaxanes in 52, 45 and 47% yields, respectively. When the concentration of the crown was doubled, the yield of the first product increased to 87%. Significantly, when the size of the stopper was increased such that R corresponded to wo-propyl, it was no longer possible to synthesise the corresponding product by this procedure at a preparatively useful rate namely, the rate of formation was inhibited by around ten-fold. 

The construction of even more elaborate structures has proved possible using the slippage procedure. These include three novel rotaxanes incorporating one, two and three bis-/ -phenylene-34-crown-10 macrocycles, respectively. Each of these... 

The problem of controlling the bead on its thread can be addressed by using the charge transfer interaction between Ti-electron-rich and r-electron-deficient aromatic rings. In particular the interaction of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) 14 with TT-electron-rich aromatic rings [73] and the interaction of bis(/ -phenylene)-34-crown-10 ether 22 with paraquat [74, 75] have been used.

The tendency for disproportionation should be favored by localization of the negative charge in a relatively small space hence, Kdisp should increase as the size of the aromatic hydrocarbon decreases. This relationship is supported by the following values of Kdisp for the indicated hydrocarbons in the system Li+,A in ethyl ether at 25 °C (10) 1270, naphthalene 1200, bi-phenylene 42, anthracene 16, naphthacene 0.76, perylene and 0.27, pyrene. These data are presented graphically in Figure 9. 

Monomers with noncoplanar conformation are, for example, 2,2 -substituted bi-phenylenes or binaphthyl derivatives. Substitution in the 2,2 -position causes the phenyl units to be in a noncoplanar conformation. This reduces the intermolecular interactions between the chains very effectively. These monomers reduce the chain stiffness far less than the bulky substituents. It is obvious that combinations of these different structural modifications can be used and have been utilized in numerous examples to modify LCPs properties.

In many cases the most favorable sites for additions of this type can be found by comparing sums of pairs of 3 values for products of comparable likelihood on steric grounds. These give the correct answer for anthracene, which has = 0.520 at the 9> 10 positions and 0.45 9 at the 1,4 positions. This approach provides us with an example of the crossing of energy profiles. Consider the addition of maleic. nhydride to bi— phenylene. The molecular diagram shows the highest sum of 3. values for 1,4 positions, yet the product stabilities indicate that 2,11 addition should be favored. 

Just as the incorporation of two electron-acceptor units in a thread permits the assembly of a two-ringed rotaxane, so the synthesis of multi-electron-acceptor ligsons permits the synthesis of more complicated multi-ring rotaxanes. Thus reaction of LI 107 (Eq. 4.68) with bis- -phenylene-34-crown-10 (L1072) gives a mixture of rotaxanes, with one, two, or three rings on the branches of this three-legged... 

In this case, the forces are induced by electron donor-acceptor interactions between a synthetic receptor molecule like bis(phenylene) crown ether (ring) and its substrate in the form of appropriate substituted paraquats (thread). 

In the case of copolymerizations of a quinodimethane and a vinyl monomer the reaction may proceed analogously. For example in Table I the experiments resulting in alternating copolymer may be explained by formation of a largely biradical analog of the tetramethylene (a bis phenylene tetramethylene). This scheme is presented in Fig, 4,...
