Tautomerism in azo dyes: Border cases of azo and hydrazo tautomers as possible NMR reference compounds

Deneva, Vera ; Lyčka, Antonin ; Hristova, S. ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Antonov, Liudmil

In: Dyes and Pigments, 2019, vol. 165, p. 157–163

In order to meet the need for NMR reference compounds in the study of tautomeric azo dyes, two series of azo dyes, derived from 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4- (phenyldiazenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-4-(2- phenylhydrazono)-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one, have been studied by using molecular spectroscopy (UV–Vis and NMR) and quantum-chemical calculations (M06- 2X/TZVP) in solution. The...

A new mixed-ligand copper(II) complex of (E)-N′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide: Synthesis, characterization, NLO behavior, DFT calculation and biological activities

Ebrahimipour, S. Yousef ; Sheikhshoaie, Iran ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Khaleghi, Moj ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Journal of Molecular Structure, 2014, vol. 1072, p. 267–276

A tridentate hydrazone Schiff base ligand, (E)-N′-(2- hydroxybenzylidene)acetohydrazide [HL], and its mixed-ligand Cu(II) complex [CuL(phen)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, molar conductivity, UV–Vis spectroscopy. The structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction. This complex has square pyramidal geometry and the positions...

Polymorphism, what it is and how to identify it: a systematic review

Brog, Jean-Pierre ; Chanez, Claire-Lise ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: RSC Advances, 2013, vol. 3, no. 38, p. 16905–16931

This review on polymorphism is a personal, non-comprehensive view on the field of polymorphism – a term which is often misused. Indeed, the discussion about polymorphism and related terms is still ongoing in the area of crystal engineering. This is why we felt it timely to look into the historical development of its definition and to delimit it. A short introduction to thermodynamic aspects...

Controlled tautomerism – switching caused by an ‘underground’ anionic effect

Antonov, Liudmil ; Deneva, Vera ; Kurteva, Vanya ; Nedeltcheva, Daniela ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: RSC Advances, 2013, vol. 3, no. 47, p. 25410–25416

In a previous communication, we demonstrated a conceptual idea for a tautomeric switching system based on implementation of a flexible piperidine unit in 4- (phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-1-ol (1). The results showed that a directed shift in the position of the tautomeric equilibrium can be achieved through protonation/deprotonation in a number of solvents. However, the effect of the counter ion...

Ring a bell: Disubstituted calix[4]arene as ligand for transition metal chlorides

Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Polyhedron, 2012, p. -

Lower rim 1,3-disubstituted p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene is studied here in its deprotonated form as complexing ligand for iron and chromium chloride. Crystallization of the two complexes from dry THF gives two different stoichiometries and structures, a trinuclear iron compound and a second, mononuclear structure with chromium. In both cases, the ligand adopts an elliptical shape and the metal...

Efficient amine end-functionalization of living ring-Opening metathesis polymers

Nagarkar, Amit A. ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Macromolecules, 2012, vol. 45, no. 11, p. 4447–4453

An efficient strategy for the synthesis of monoamine end-functionalized living polymers using ring-opening metathesis polymerization with ruthenium initiators is reported. A new end-capping agent for this purpose was synthesized, and its efficiency for end-functionalization was evaluated using two common ruthenium-based initiators. Finally, terminal cross-metathesis was also explored as...

Tautomerism in 1-phenylazo-4-naphthols: experimental results vs quantum-chemical predictions

Antonov, Liudmil ; Kurteva, Vanya ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Mirolo, Laurent ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Angelova, Silvia

In: Dyes and Pigments, 2012, vol. 92, no. 1, p. 714–723

The reliability in the description of the tautomerism of 1-phenylazo-4-naphthol by using of HF and MP2 ab initio levels of theory and DFT methods with variety of pure GGA (OLYP), hybrid (B3LYP and B3PW91), long range corrected (LC-BLYP) and double-hybrid (B2PLYP and mPW2PLYP) functionals with large number of basis sets was estimated. In this evaluation three criteria were used: reproduction...

Switching azonaphthols containing a side chain with limited flexibility. Part 1. Synthesis and tautomeric properties

Kurteva, Vanya B. ; Antonov, Liudmil ; Nedeltcheva, Daniela V. ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Nikolova, Rositsa P. ; Shivachev, Boris L. ; Nikiforova, Maya S.

In: Dyes and Pigments, 2012, vol. 92, no. 3, p. 1266–1277

A series of azo dyes, possessing amide fragments with restricted flexibility tethered to 4-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-1-ol, was obtained from 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid by subsequent conversion to amides and diazo coupling. It was shown that the position of the tautomeric equilibrium in solution strongly depends on the solvent in both UV and NMR concentration scale. The compounds exist as...
