V monomer precursor

Vanadium K-edge XANES measured in transmission mode at 15 K showed that the attached V complex (2) maintained its square pyramidal conformation with a V=0 bond (Figure 2.2a). Curve-fitting analysis of V K-edge EXAFS Fourier transforms (Figure 2.2b) provided local structure information on the supported V complex (2) with an unsaturated conformation, which differs from that of the V-monomer precursor (1). The EXAFS curve-fitting was performed in the R-space with two shells short V=0 and long V—O bonds. A V=0 bond was observed at 0.157 0.001 nm,... 

The Ph-OH moiety formed by the surface reaction ofthe V monomer precursor (1) with surface OH groups undergoes hydrogen bonding with the C=0 group of the ligand in the adjacent V complex to assemble the supported V complexes on the... 

Notably, even if the V monomer precursors (1) are racemic at the V center in solution, only a particular arrangement of two V monomers among possible structural arrangements is allowed as a stable structure at the Si02 surface, creating a new chiral V center (2) to provide a chiral reaction space for the enantioselective catalysis. Chiral self-assembly is a common phenomenon that is applied to other catalytic materials on surfaces. 

The crystal structures of 4-(6-nitro-2-benzoxazolyl)phenyl 4-(acryloyloxyhexyloxy) benzoate, 2-[4-A,iV-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)] phenyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole monohydrate (A) and 2- 4-/V-(6-hydroxyhexyl)-A-mcthyl] phenyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole (B) have been determined at room temperature by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares method [210], These compounds are monomer precursors of polymers with nonlinear optical properties of the second order.

Other catalytic reactions involving a transition-metal allenylidene complex, as catalyst precursor or intermediate, include (1) the dehydrogenative dimerization of tributyltin hydride [116], (2) the controlled atom-transfer radical polymerization of vinyl monomers [144], (3) the selective transetherification of linear and cyclic vinyl ethers under non acidic conditions [353], (4) the cycloisomerization of (V2V-dia-llyltosylamide into 3-methyl-4-methylene-(V-tosylpyrrolidine [354, 355], and (5) the reduction of protons from HBF4 into dihydrogen [238]. 

An example of the first approach is the integration of hydrogels into nanostructured silica films by addition of a suitable monomer (e.g., methyl methacrylate, /V-isopropyl acrylamide, etc.) and an initiator for radical polymerization to a solution containing a structure-directing surfactant and a prehydrolyzed silica precursor. During self-assembly, the monomers partition within the hydrophobic core of the surfactant mesophase postsynthesis polymerization (for instance, by UV treatment) followed by solvent washing to remove the surfactant template yields a polymer-silica nanohybrid. 

In the first step, the precursor, typically a ruthenium or osmium bis(2,2,-bipyridyl) (bpy) complex, reacts with solvent (S) to produce a solvated complex. When solvents such as dry methanol and ethanol are used, only one chloride is exchanged and the species [Ru(bpy)2(PVP) Cl]+ is obtained as the sole product. The nature of the coordination sphere around the metal center can be determined by UV-visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy (Xmax, 496 nm) and by its redox potential, (about 0.65 V (vs. SCE), depending on the electrolyte being used). By a systematic variation of the ratio of monomer units to redox-active centers, the loading of the polymer backbone ( n) can be varied systematically. (Here, n stands for the number of monomer units in the polymer per redox-active center, e.g. in a PVP-based, n = 10 polymer, there are 10 pyridine units for every redox center.
