Twisted Bonds (The Camorra Chronicles Book 4)

Product Information

Compounds 1a– d, 2, and 3 were prepared from 7a– 7d, 8 and 9, respectively, by the tBuOK-mediated oxidative dehydrogenation. The reaction conditions were substrate dependent.

Except for T 1-( M, M)- 3 ( θ 1 = 74°, θ 2 = 22°), the T 1 state of the studied compounds exhibits a perpendicular conformation ( θ 1 = 86° or 90°) with an elongated bond d (1.462–1.466 Å) and (nearly) planar DBF moieties ( θ 2 = 0°; 8° for T 1- 2). The Δ H STs obtained by DFT calculations are as folows: ( M, M)- 3 (5.79 kcal/mol, see Table 2) > 1a (5.52 kcal/mol) > 1c (5.41 kcal/mol) > 1d (4.26 kcal/mol) ≈ 2 (4.33 kcal/mol) > 1b (3.19 kcal/mol). The low Δ H STs for 1b and 1d most likely originate from additional stabilization of π-extended alkynyl moieties on T 1- 1b and T 1- 1d, respectively, as shown in their spin density plots (see below and Supplementary Fig. 10). In most cases, the molecular geometries of the TS rot and T 1 states are (nearly) identical (see Supplementary Table 2). Structural parameters of ( M, M)- 3-TS rot ( θ 1 = 82°, θ 2 = 19°, θ 3 = 41°, d = 1.462 Å) and T 1-( M, M)- 3 ( θ 1 = 74°, θ 2 = 22°, θ 3 = 42°, d = 1.462 Å) are slightly different, and their DBF moieties are highly twisted. The Δ H ‡ rots of the studied compounds were determined to be 2.35–5.13 kcal/mol (Table 2), indicating that the rotation of the C = C bond can be as facile as that of an aryl-aryl bond in a simple biphenyl, such as 2-flourobiphenyl (Δ G ‡ rot 4.4 kcal/mol 40). Photophysical properties I pushed myself up onto my elbow. That was news to me. Felix and Egidia always told me Father had been killed by a bullet to the head. “Luca tortured him?”

I lay in Nino’s arms, overwhelmed by his confession, our breathing ragged from…making love? We’d made love. Nino had told me he loved me, really loved me, no fake emotion, nothing false, just love. Synthesis, structural analysis, and properties of highly twisted alkenes 13,13’-bis(dibenzo[ a, i]fluorenylidene) and its derivatives I shook my head. Nobody had bothered telling me the details. I wasn’t sure if it was to protect me, or because they thought I had no right to know as a mere girl. I bet my brothers knew. “I thought Luca shot him.” Biedermann, P. U. & Agranat, I.

It felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest, as if everything I hadn’t even dared to dream, much less hope for, was suddenly in my reach.

Father occasionally made it their task to discipline me, yes. They are seven and nine years older than me, so…” I considered Nino’s expression. “Nino,” I said quietly but firmly. “I don’t want you to kill them because of what they did when they were children.” VT 1H NMR experiments using unsymmetrical compounds 1d (183–303 K) and 2 (183–413 K) were performed (see Supplementary Information p. 43 and 45). Upon cooling, the signals exhibited progressive line sharpening without any significant decoalescence. The phenomenon is most likely due to the following three possibilities: (1) identical resonances of the syn- and anti-isomers, (2) the amount of energetically unstable isomer being too low to be detected, and (3) the C = C bond rotational rate at 183 K being faster than the timescale of 1H NMR spectroscopy. The first two options are unlikely, and the energy difference between the two isomers is less than 0.13 kcal/mol (see Supplementary Information p. 33), which results in an unstable isomer with a Boltzmann population greater than 40% at 183 K. In the VT 1H NMR spectra of 3, peaks with progressive line broadening were observed at temperatures higher than 303 K. Magnetic properties Kang, HW., Liu, YC., Shao, WK. et al.
