Article Abstract

Reaction of CsF with ClF leads to Cs[Cl F ]. It contains a molecular, propeller-shaped [Cl F ] anion with a central μ -F atom and three T-shaped ClF molecules coordinated to it. This anion represents the first example of a heteropolyhalide anion of higher ClF content than [ClF ] and is the first Cl-containing interhalogen species with a μ-bridging F atom. The chemical bonds to the central μ -F atom are highly ionic and quite weak as the bond lengths within the coordinating XF units (X = Cl, and also calculated for Br, I) are almost unchanged in comparison to free XF molecules. Cs[Cl F ] crystallizes in a very rarely observed A B structure type, where cations and anions are each pseudohexagonally close packed, and reside, each with coordination number five, in the trigonal bipyramidal voids of the other.

Optically active higher-ordered structures, such as one-handed helical and propeller-shaped structures, can be constructed by folding the π-conjugated system using [2.2]paracyclophane as the chiral crossing unit, leading to circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties. Chiral cyclic dimers and trimers were synthesized using planar chiral [2.

T40214 (STAT) and its recently investigated analogue STATB are G-quadruplex (G4) forming aptamers characterized by an unusually high percentage of C. The therapeutic potential of T40214 relies on its ability to inhibit the signalling pathway of STAT3, a protein frequently overexpressed in tumor cells. STAT adopts a dimeric 5'-5' end-stacked quadruplex structure, characterized by parallel strands, three G-tetrads and three propeller-shaped loops formed by a cytidine residue.

Cyclopentannulated Decacyclenes as Carbon-Based Multistage Electron Acceptors.

We report a series of cyclopentannulated decacyclenes that act as remarkable multistage electron acceptors. The compounds were synthesized in a modular approach via Yamamoto cyclotrimerization of brominated pyracylene precursors, allowing the introduction of electron-withdrawing, -donating, and solubilizing fluoro, methoxy, and tert-butyl moieties, respectively. The subsequent π-expansion of the polycyclic scaffold was achieved by oxidative cyclodehydrogenation.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has the potential for next-generation optoelectronic applications. One of the major challenges in this field is the development of CPL emitters, whose emission properties can be modulated by external stimuli, such as solvents. However, CPL-active materials are often synthetically demanding and typically require chiral separation.
