Abstract
The novel tribromide {Br3}1- salt, [{H(OPPh3)2}Br3] (1), featuring the rarely observed bis(triphenylphosphine oxide)hydron cation was isolated via several methods. Compound 1 was found to transform to the initial triphenylphosphine oxide ([OPPh3]∙½H2O) through four intermediate stages. These intermediates, [{H3O(OPPh3)3}Br3] (2), [{H(OPPh3)2}{H3O(OPPh3)2}{Br}{Br3}] (3), and [H3O(OPPh3)2Br] (4), were isolated by controlling crystallization conditions. This study reports the synthesis, crystal structures of four compounds 1–4, and photophysical properties of 1 both in solid state and ethanolic solution. Solid 1 exhibits the two low-energy absorption bands in the 4.5-1.8 eV energy range assigned to the transitions within the {Br3}1- moiety with weak exciton-phonon coupling. The third transition, attributed to transitions within the {H(OPPh3)2}1+ cation, characterizes higher vibration energy and stronger exciton-phonon coupling. Compound 1 demonstrates antioxidant properties by neutralizing the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical following brominating to form mono- and di-brominated DPPH derivatives. The kinetics of DPPH bromination and subsequent neutralization was found to follow pseudo-first-order reaction behavior.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
