These compounds represent the first experimental objects that allow for the confirmation of the recent conjecture about best-performing SMM built on the archetypal prolate lanthanide ion. We have performed a combined theoretical, luminescent, and magnetic study on these molecules. For 1, a spectacular split of the 2F7/2 ground state of 1312 cm−1 is measured by low-temperature near-infra-red luminescence as well as the calculated pure wavefunction composition of the low-lying Kramers doublets, making this complex a textbook example of a prolate SMM. These results are corroborated by comparison with 2, that exhibits as expected a 50 % decrease of the ground state splitting compared to 1. Yet, we show that these remarkable features are insufficient to promote SMM behavior, and Orbach relaxation is unlikely to occur even on such an ideal low-coordinate SMM without control of spin-phonon coupling.","PeriodicalId":100234,"journal":{"name":"ChemistryEurope","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ceur.202400062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biological systems manipulate the properties of water to perform reactions that are extremely difficult in synthetic chemistry. One such example is polymerization, which is essential for life and requires the removal of water; however, the removal of water adversely affects the redox reactions that harness the free energy to sustain life. This dichotomy in the water chemistry of life is referred to as the “water paradox”, which remains an unsolved puzzle in the origins of life research. In the present concept paper, we propose that the water paradox may be resolved if anomalous water behavior, including the extremely low dielectric constant and modulation of the enthalpy-entropy compensation relationship arising from nanoscale confinement, are considered. The unique properties of confined water allow for polymerization reactions to proceed even in water-rich hydrothermal vent (HV) environments due to the structurally aligned nanopores within HV walls. Studies of how structural changes in water networks in nano-spaces affect catalysis and free energy exchange represent the next frontier in the field of origins of life research and synthetic chemistry.","PeriodicalId":100234,"journal":{"name":"ChemistryEurope","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ceur.202400038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the systems in the literature structurally diverse and therefore hard to compare. Many systems show highly complex photophysics including several accepting orbitals for the excited state, as a result catalytic activity is hard to predict. Here we present a bimetallic Ru−Pt photocatalyst bearing peripheral spectator ligands at the ruthenium(II) photocenter as a member of the Ru-tpphz-Pt family. Consequently, it features a single acceptor tpphz ligand and so-called unidirectional electron transfer, i. e., electron transfer without co-occurring transfer to peripheral ligands, from the excited state. Thus – and in contrast to recently used peripheral ligands – the new spectator ligands do not disrupt electron transfer towards the catalytic center. By comparison to known systems, this facilitates unprecedented insight into the importance of electron transfer from the bridge to the catalytic center moving towards more rational design of oligonuclear photocatalysts.","PeriodicalId":100234,"journal":{"name":"ChemistryEurope","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ceur.202300084","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an effort to simplify the access to the full set of SFGs, we report herein a versatile strategy utilizing (hetero)aryl trityl sulfides (ArSCPh3) as the common precursors. We developed a mild and high yielding Pd-catalyzed thiotritylation cross-coupling methodology to afford ArSCPh3 compounds from (hetero)aryl bromides and iodides. Efficient chemoselective derivatizations provided access to eight different SFGs and sulfur(VI) fluorine exchange (SuFEx) hubs, which open up further downstream derivatizations towards the full set of SFGs. Thereby obtainable sulfur motifs include aryl sulfur pentafluorides (ArSF5), aryl tetrafluoro-λ6-sulfanyl chlorides (ArSF4Cl), aryl sulfonimidoyl fluorides (ArS(O)(NR)F), aryl sulfonyl fluorides (ArSO2F), aryl sulfonic acids (ArSO3H), and aryl sulfinyl fluorides (ArSOF), which are all valuable functional groups in modern drug discovery.","PeriodicalId":100234,"journal":{"name":"ChemistryEurope","volume":"2 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ceur.202400053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dial at the bottom illustrates the controlled addition of charge to the system. In the charge states—neutral, anionic, and dianionic—the eight-membered ring core is highlighted in red, yellow, or green, respectively. These “stoplight” colors emphasize the experimental observations described in the paper, whereby going from the neutral to the monoanionic form results in only a small structural perturbation of the carbon framework, whereas the addition of the second electron triggers the formation of an energetically favorable “butterfly” dianion with a new C−C bond. Thus, the central eight-membered ring is transformed into two fused five-membered rings. More information can be found in the Research Article by R. Gershoni-Poranne, M. A.
