The nature of internal chiral diamines can greatly influence the ratio of helical diastereomers for Ni-salen based metallofoldamers. The diastereomer ratio is small for metallofoldamers derived from (1R, 2R)-cyclohexanediamine, (11R, 12R)-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11,12-diamine, or (1R, 2R)-cyclopentanediamine. By contrast, the foldamer from (1S, 2S)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine provides a relatively large bias (6 : 1) for the P-helical diastereomer as evidenced by NMR studies, chiroptical data, and X-ray studies. A model is proposed to explain the origin of the helical bias. These findings underscore the need to consider helical diastereomers in models for asymmetric induction in metal-salen catalyzed reactions.

Enantiomerically Pure Helical Bilayer Nanographenes: A Straightforward Chemical Approach.
J Am Chem Soc
December 2024
Departamento de Química Orgánica I, Facultad de Ciencias Químicas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the potential of molecular nanographenes for next-gen optoelectronics, particularly focusing on chiral versions that show unique optical properties but are challenging to synthesize in pure forms.
- - Traditional methods for obtaining chiral nanographenes involve costly HPLC for separating racemic mixtures, while only limited examples of direct enantioselective synthesis exist in literature.
- - The authors propose a simpler chemical method for chiral resolution of helical bilayer nanographenes, utilizing BINOL and camphorsulfonyl chloride, leading to scalable production of enantiomerically pure nanographenes without relying on HPLC.
Counterintuitive Isomerization of TFSI and TFSI-Cation Correlated Isomerization: Insights into the Low Melting Points of TFSI-Based Ionic Liquids.
J Phys Chem B
October 2024
Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, Khalifa University of Science and Technology, P.O. Box 127788, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Article Synopsis
- Ionic liquids, especially TFSI-based ones, are important in applications like energy storage and iontronic sensing, but their low melting points remain poorly understood.
- Traditional methods suggest TFSI easily switches forms, but new AIMD simulations show that its nitrogen atom's oscillation leads to complex, restricted isomerization pathways instead.
- The study finds that the stability of TFSI is influenced by the polarity of its countercation, suggesting that conformational rigidity affects melting points and provides insights for designing new ionic liquids.
Syntheses, Structural Analyses, and Properties of Condensed Arenes with Multihelicity.
Org Lett
September 2024
Department of Chemistry, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan.
A -symmetric hexapole helicene (HH) and a -symmetric dodecapole helicene (DH) were prepared, and their three-dimensional structures were verified by X-ray crystallography and density functional theory calculations. The molecular geometries and local helical configurations of their most stable diastereomers were correctly predicted by arranging suitable conformations of the peripheral aryl rings. Importantly, the outermost three [5]helicenes with a consistent configuration in DH were observed to increase the thermostability, enantiomerization barrier (Δ = 40.

Novel carbonyl-N embedded hetero[7]helicene diastereomers incorporating axially chiral binaphthyl were facilely synthesized and separated. The separated homochiral hetero[7]helicenes exhibit intense green photoluminescence and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with luminescence dissymmetry factors () of 1.4 × 10 due to the intrinsic helical multiple-resonance skeleton.

An improved design is described for ferroelectric crystals and implemented with the "methoxyphenyl series" of acetophenone azines, (MeO-Ph, Y)-azines with Y=F (1), Cl (2), Br (3), or I (4). The crystal structures of these azines exhibit polar stacking of parallel beloamphiphile monolayers (PBAMs). Azines 1, 3, and 4 form true racemates whereas chloroazine 2 crystallizes as a kryptoracemate.
