A series of naphthaldehydes, including a Mannich base, have been investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy, NMR and theoretical methods to explore their potential tautomerism. In the case of 4-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde concentration dependent deprotonation has been detected in methanol and acetonitrile. For 4-hydroxy-3-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)-1-naphthaldehyde (a Mannich base) an intramolecular proton...

Aerobically stable and substitutionally labile α-diimine rhenium dicarbonyl complexes

Schindler, Kevin ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Zobi, Fabio

In: RSC Advances, 2021, vol. 11, p. 7511-7520

New synthetic routes to aerobically stable and substitutionally labile α-diimine rhenium(I) dicarbonyl complexes are described. The molecules are prepared in high yield from the cis–cis–trans-[Re(CO)2(tBu2bpy)Br2]− anion (2, where tBu2bpy is 4,4′- di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine), which can be isolated from the one electron reduction of the corresponding 17-electron complex (1)....

Bimetallic salen-based compounds and their potential applications

Finelli, Alba ; Abram, Sarah-Luise ; Hérault, Nelly ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Crystal Growth & Design, 2020, vol. 20, no. 8, p. 4945–4958

The new bimetallic coordination compounds [LNiAg(NO3)], [LCuMn(NO3)2], [LCuCu(NO3)2], [LCuZn(NO3)2], and [{LCuBi(NO3)3}(ACN)] have been synthesized from a salen-type ligand L containing two distinct coordination sites to accommodate (different) metal ions M1 and M2. In the solid state, the formation of 1:1 compounds (LCu:M2) is always observed, but interactions between the compounds lead to ...

Characteristics and properties of nano-LiCoO2 synthesized by pre-organized single source precursors: Li-ion diffusivity, electrochemistry and biological assessment

Brog, Jean?Pierre ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Seydoux, Joël ; Clift, Martin J. D. ; Baichette, Benoît ; Maharajan, Sivarajakumar ; Barosova, Hana ; Brodard, Pierre ; Spodaryk, Mariana ; Züttel, Andreas ; Rothen?Rutishauser, Barbara ; Kwon, Nam Hee ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2017, vol. 15, p. 58

LiCoO₂ is one of the most used cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. Its conventional synthesis requires high temperature (>800 °C) and long heating time (>24 h) to obtain the micronscale rhombohedral layered high-temperature phase of LiCoO₂ (HT-LCO). Nanoscale HT-LCO is of interest to improve the battery performance as the lithium (Li⁺) ion pathway is expected to be shorter in...

Cis-Dioxido-molybdenum(VI) complexes of tridentate ONO hydrazone Schiff base: Synthesis, characterization, X-ray crystal structure, DFT calculation and catalytic activity

Ebrahimipour, S. Yousef ; Khabazadeh, , , Hojatollah ; Castro, Jesús ; Sheikhshoaie, Iran ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Inorganica Chimica Acta, 2015, vol. 427, p. 52–61

Two new cis-MoO₂ [MoO₂(L)(EtOH)] (1), [MoO₂(L) (Py)] (2) [L: (3-methoxy-2oxidobenzylidene)benzohydrazidato], complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR, molar conductivity, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and electronic spectra. The structure of complexes has been accomplished by single crystal X-ray...

A concept for stimulated proton transfer in 1-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-2-ols

Hristova, S. ; Deneva, Vera V. ; Pittelkow, M. ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Kamounah, Fadhil S. ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Hansen, P. E. ; Antonov, Liudmil

In: Dyes and Pigments, 2018, vol. 156, p. 91-99

A series of aryl azo derivatives of naphthols (1–3) were studied by means of UV–Vis and NMR spectroscopy in different solvents as well as by quantum chemical calculations and X-ray analysis. Previous studies have shown that Sudan I (1) exists as a tautomeric mixture. The effect of the solvents is minimized by the existing intramolecular hydrogen bond. Therefore, the influence on the...

Controlled tautomeric switching in azonaphthols tuned by substituents on the phenyl ring

Antonov, Liudmil ; Deneva, Vera ; Simeonov, Svilen ; Kurteva, Vanya ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Shivachev, Boris ; Nikolova, Rositsa ; Savarese, Marika ; Adamo, Carlo

In: ChemPhysChem, 2015, vol. 16, no. 3, p. 649–657

A series of new tautomeric azonaphthols are synthesized and the possibilities for molecular switching are investigated using molecular spectroscopy, X-ray analysis and density functional theory quantum chemical calculations. Two opposite effects that influence switching are studied: attaching a piperidine sidearm, and adding substituents to the phenyl ring. On the one hand, the attached...

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...

Coordination Networks of Mercury(II) Halides and Polyether Ligand

Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, 2011, vol. 637, no. 14-15, p. 2089–2092

New crystalline mercury halide adducts with polyetheras ligands were isolated, characterized, and identified as trans-[HgIICl₂(diox)₂]n (1) and trans-[HgIII₂(diox)]n (2). The compounds were obtained from the metal halide salts in solution of 1,4-dioxane and can be considered as “cutting-out”...

Correlation of MLCTs of Group 7 fac-[M(CO)3]+ complexes (M = Mn, Re) with bipyridine, pyridinylpyrazine, azopyridine, and pyridin-2-ylmethanimine type ligands for rational photoCORM design

Kottelat, Emmanuel ; Lucarini, Fiorella ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Ruggi, Albert ; Zobi, Fabio

In: European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, 2019, vol. 2019, no. 33, p. 3758–3768

A mathematical correlation of the MLCT absorption maxima of structurally related fac‐ [M(CO)3L2Br] complexes (M = Mn, Re; L2 = bidentate ligand) is obtained by the comparison of a total of 50 species bearing bipyridine, pyridinylpyrazine, azopyridine and pyridin‐2‐ylmethanimine L2 type ligands. The empirical relationship is first derived by the initial comparison of the MLCT absorption...
