The purpose of this study was to analyze the chemical structures of 5,8-quinolinedione and 5,8-isoquinoline derivatives using FT-IR spectroscopy supplemented with theoretical DFT calculations. Spectroscopic measurements were conducted using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) mode in the frequency range of 4000–400 cm−1. An analysis of FT-IR spectra was carried out, assigning the characteristic vibration frequencies of various functional groups to individual peaks. It was found that the experimental and calculated FT-IR spectra showed a good correlation for all the compounds under study. The most significant difference in the spectra occurred in the region of carbonyl bands. For compounds with the 5,8-quinolinedione moiety, two separated C=O vibration peaks were observed, while for compounds with the 5,8-isoquinolinedione moiety, the carbonyl vibrations created only one peak. This difference makes it possible to distinguish between the 5,8-quinolinedione and 5,8-isoquinolinedione derivatives.","PeriodicalId":18761,"journal":{"name":"Molbank","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139226692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The compound described herein is a star-shaped, fully conjugated molecule with three methylated pyridinium rings connected by a triple bond spacer to a central benzene core, which was synthesized from readily available building blocks, representing a quite simple model of multi-pyridyl extended viologen; its UV–visible absorption and fluorescence spectra have also been investigated.","PeriodicalId":18761,"journal":{"name":"Molbank","volume":"52 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135429828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We elucidated the crystal and molecular structure of the triethylammonium betaine of squaric acid (1) by X-ray crystallography, IR, and NMR spectroscopy augmented by Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations. The crystal structure determination using Hirshfeld atom refinement reveals that the resonance hybrid structure with partial enolate character of the two lateral squaric acid C=O groups describes 1 best. The solid-state supramolecular structure features weak intermolecular C−H···O hydrogen bonds. The number of C=O bands in the IR spectrum in the solid-state is consistent with local C2v symmetry of the squaric acid residue in 1. The 13C NMR signals of this group in solution were assigned based on 2D NMR experiments and computational prediction using the Gauge-Independent Atom Orbital (GIAO) method. The present study provides the first structural characterization of a betaine of squaric acid containing a four-coordinate nitrogen atom directly attached to the four-membered ring.","PeriodicalId":18761,"journal":{"name":"Molbank","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
