ChemPlusChem 5/2013: Like Oil and Water

ChemPlusChem 5/2013: Like Oil and Water

In the cover article, Martin Pumera et al. use self-propelled biocompatible capsules loaded with various surfactants and compared their influence upon movement of oil droplets. Their findings are expected to have great impact on potential applications of such capsules for environmental clean-up. Also, a report on visualizing hyperconjugation through UV-photoelectron spectroscopy is outlined by Vladimir Ya. Lee et al. Meanwhile, Pierre Frère et al. describe the synthesis as well as the optical, theoretical, electrochemical, X-ray, and electrical characteristics of new thiophene/furan-capped co-oligomers for organic field-effect transistors.

  1. 9-(4-Dimethylaminophenyl)benzo[b]quinolizinium: A Near-Infrared Fluorophore for the Multicolor Analysis of Proteins and Nucleic Acids in Living Cells

    Dr. Roberta Bortolozzi, Prof. Dr. Heiko Ihmels, Laura Thomas, Dr. Maoqun Tian and Dr. Giampietro Viola

    Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/chem.201301164

    All lit up: The title compound operates as a fluorescent light-up probe that enables the detection of different biologically relevant hosts at different fluorescence maxima. It is demonstrated that this chemosensor also allows the fluorimetric multicolor analysis of different components in living cells (see figure).

  2. Iron-Salt-Promoted Highly Regioselective α and β Hydrophosphination of Alkenyl Arenes

    Dr. Lucie Routaboul, Dr. Fabien Toulgoat, Jérémie Gatignol, Jean-François Lohier, Dr. Brigitte Norah, Dr. Olivier Delacroix, Dr. Carole Alayrac, Dr. Marc Taillefer and Prof. Dr. Annie-Claude Gaumont

    Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/chem.201301417

    Iron(ic) phosphination: The iron-promoted hydrophosphination of alkenyl arenes with diphenylphosphine as phosphinating agent has been established. This method provides efficient access to diarylalkylphosphines. The regioselectivity of the reaction can be fine-tuned by the choice of the iron salts, offering highly selective access to both the β and the α adducts (see scheme).

  3. Experimental and Computational Studies on the Formation of Three para-Benzyne Analogues in the Gas Phase

    Dr. Lindsey M. Kirkpatrick, Dr. Nelson R. Vinueza, Dr. Bartłomiej J. Jankiewicz, Vanessa A. Gallardo, Dr. Enada F. Archibold, Dr. John J. Nash and Prof. Hilkka I. Kenttämaa

    Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/chem.201203264

    Pick the right isomer! The generation of three positively charged para-benzyne analogues was attempted in an FT-ICR mass spectrometer. The experimental and quantum chemical findings indicate that the monoradical precursors for the para-benzynes undergo ring-opening faster than formation of the para-benzyne by iodine atom elimination, thus generating enediyne isomers of the para-benzynes (see scheme).

  4. Bisguanidines with Biphenyl, Binaphthyl, and Bipyridyl Cores: Proton-Sponge Properties and Coordination Chemistry

    Dr. Astrid Maronna, Dr. Olaf Hübner, Prof. Dr. Markus Enders, Dr. Elisabeth Kaifer and Prof. Dr. Hans-Jörg Himmel

    Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/chem.201204294

    Showing some backbone: Bisguanidines with flexible biaryl backbones are proton sponges and ligands in a series of new mono- and dinuclear Group 10 metal complexes (see picture). The spin-density distribution in paramagnetic NiII complexes was studied by using NMR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations.

  5. Salimabromide: Unexpected Chemistry from the Obligate Marine Myxobacterium Enhygromxya salina

    Stephan Felder, Dr. Sandra Dreisigacker, Dr. Stefan Kehraus, Edith Neu, Prof. Dr. Gabriele Bierbaum, Patrick R. Wright, Prof. Dr. Dirk Menche, Dr. Till F. Schäberle and Prof. Dr. Gabriele M. König

    Article first published online: 22 MAY 2013 | DOI: 10.1002/chem.201301379

    Thumbnail image of graphical abstract

    Curtains up! Salimabromide (1) is the first natural product from the Plesiocystis/Enhygromyxa clade of obligatory marine myxobacteria. Salimabromide has a new tetracyclic carbon skeleton, comprising a brominated benzene ring, a furano lactone residue, and a cyclohexane ring bridged by a seven-membered cyclic moiety (see figure). The absolute configuration was deduced from experimental and calculated circular dichroism (CD) data.
