Published: February 2011

Synthetic and bonding aspects of heavier Group 15 (P, As, Sb, Bi) and 16 (S, Se, Te) peri-substituted naphthalenes, are discussed in this review. An important and unifying feature of the chemistry of these systems is the lively discussion about the nature of the interaction between peri-atoms. Are atoms bonded when they are closer than the sum of their van der Waals radii? Is there any (weak) bonding, or just a strained repulsive interaction? Positioning atoms of Group 15 and 16 at the naphthalene 1,8-positions provides leading systems with which to study these bonding issues.

The evolution of precursors to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is still a challenge in atmospheric chemistry. Chamber experiments were conducted to simulate the ambient OH oxidation of naphthalene and α-pinene, which are typical markers of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions. Particulate matters were sampled by quartz filters and were analyzed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled with a thermal desorption system (TD) and a mass spectrometer (MS).

In this study, Diels-Alder reaction was performed to sulfolene and endo/exo-diacetate compounds. After a series of reactions, new conduritol A and F analogs containing oxo-bridge and naphthalene rings in their structures were synthesized. To the starting compound, bromination, elimination, singlet oxygen reaction, acetylation, selective oxidation with osmium tetroxide (OsO), and m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA), re-acetylation, and finally hydrolysis of the compounds by NH(g)/MeOH reactions were carried out.

Zirconium-Polycarboxylato Gel Systems as Substrates to Develop Advanced Fluorescence Sensing Devices.

Gels

November 2024

Department of Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU, Apartado 644, E-48080 Bilbao, Spain.

This study presents the development of zirconium polycarboxylate gel systems as substrates for advanced fluorescence sensing devices. Zirconium-based metal-organic gels (MOGs) offer a promising alternative due to the robustness of the Zr-O bond, which provides enhanced chemical stability. In this work, zirconium polycarboxylate gels were synthesized using green solvents in a rapid room temperature method.
