An Indium Synthetic Etioporphyrin for Organic Electronics: Aggregation and Photoconductivity in Thin Films.

A new complex of indium(III)chloride with etioporphyrin-I was synthesized and characterized. As with naturally occurring extraligated etioporphyrins, the InCl-EtioP-I spectrum in solution has a very strong B-band and a more than an order of magnitude weaker Q-band, but this difference diminishes in solid films of InCl-EtioP-I obtained by thermal evaporation in vacuum. In a solid, molecules have a tight convex-convex arrangement in a 2D double layered structure with interplane distance of 3.

Deprotonation of Benzoxazolium Salt: Trapping of a Radical-Cation Intermediate.

The deprotonation of N-2,6-diisopropylphenyl-substituted benzoxazolium tetrafluoroborate 1 with NaH results in the formation of electron-rich diaminodioxaethylene 2. The radical cation salt 2·BF is found to be an intermediate product in the redox reaction leading from 1 to 2.

Hydrogen-bond-assisted organocatalytic acetalization of secondary alcohols: experimental and theoretical studies.

An efficient method was developed for the acetalization of secondary alcohols in the presence of simple protic pyridinium salts. Direct correlations between the structure and activity of the synthesized catalysts were described. Stabilization via hydrogen bonding of the hemiacetal intermediate by the pyridine derivatives, along with an appropriate increase in the reaction rate, was revealed.

Bis(but-2-enoato-κO)tri-phenyl-bis-muth(V).

In the title mol-ecule, [Bi(C6H5)3(C4H5O2)2], the Bi(V) atom is in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment with carboxyl-ate O atoms in axial positions and phenyl C atoms in the equatorial plane. The Bi-O bond lengths are 2.283 (3) and 2.
