Gels prepared from metal containing ionic liquids with cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) have surface compositions and mechanical properties that can be controlled by Lewis basicity and acidity of the metal species.

Solvents play an important role in shaping the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties of π-conjugated molecules, which in turn can affect their one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) as well as the static (hyper)polarizabilities. Here, we study the effect of solvent and donor-acceptor arrangement on linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) response properties of two novel ICT-based fluorescent sensors, one consisting of hemicyanine and dimethylaniline as electron withdrawing and donating groups (molecule 1), respectively and its boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY, molecule 2)-fused counterpart (molecule 3). Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations using long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X functionals, suitable for studying properties of ICT molecules, are employed to calculate the desired properties. The dipole moment (µ) as well as the total first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>total</sub>) of the studied molecules in the gas phase is dominantly dictated by the component in the direction of charge transfer. The ratios of vector component of first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>vec</sub>) to β<sub>total</sub> also reveal unidirectional charge transfer process. The properties of the medium significantly affect the OPA, hyperpolarizability and TPA properties of the studied molecules. Time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations suggest interchanging between two lowest excited states of molecule 3 from the gas phase to salvation. The direction of charge polarization and dominant transitions among molecular orbitals involved in the OPA and TPA processes are studied. The results presented are expected to be useful in tuning the NLO response of many ICT-based chromophores, especially those with BODIPY acceptors.<br>

Ferrocene reacts with BI3 and BBr3 to give 1,1′-bis(dihalogenboryl)ferrocenes; the cyclopentadienylring in cymantrene is twice borylated by BI3. By halogen exchange with AsF3 and AsCl3, by methylation with Sn(CH3)4, by cleavage of (C2H5)2O, by redox reaction with (CH3S)2 and by reaction with (C2H5)2NH the corresponding diborylferrocenes are obtained. The air-sensitive halogenborylferrocenes form donor-acceptor compounds with Lewis bases. 1H, 11B and 13C NMR data reflect increasing π-acceptor properties with increasing Lewis acidity of the boryl groups.

The reaction of (F3C)Cl2SiCl3 with the lithiated hydrazine LiN(Me)NMe2 gives the compound (F3C)Cl2SiN(Me)NMe2 (1) and in traces Cl3SiN(Me)NMe2 (2). The reactions with LiN(SiMe3)NMe2 and LiONMe2 give (F3C)Cl2SiN(SiMe3)NMe2 (4) and (F3C)Cl2SiONMe2 (5), respectively. The compounds were characterised by multinuclear solution NMR, gas-phase IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Information about conformational preferences of 1 and 4 can be extracted by comparing experimental IR spectra with those calculated by quantum chemical methods (B3LYP/6-311G**). The former show the gas phase of the β -donor-acceptor silanes 1 and 4 to be dominated by the anti conformations, while the calculations show a preference for the gauche conformers. The crystal structure of Cl3SiN(Me)NMe2 (2) has been determined. The solid-state structures of the Ruppert reagent F3C-SiMe3 (1) and its chlorine analogue F3C-SiCl3 (2) have also been determined by X-ray diffraction of single crystals grown by in situ techniques.

Mixed chlorometallate ionic liquids (ILs) have been regarded as potential solvents, catalysts, and reagents for many organic processes. The acidity and basicity of these ILs were correlated with theoretically estimated parameters such as electrostatic surface potential maxima and minima, average local surface ionization energy, and Fukui and dual descriptor functions. The introduction of metal chloride into the anions would influence the acidity/basicity of ILs by withdrawing the electron density from the cationic counterpart. For the [C4mim]-based ILs with the mixed-metal anions, the acidity tends to attenuate while the basicity becomes stronger, as compared to the corresponding chloroaluminate ILs. However, the acidity of [(C2H5)3NH]-based ILs with the mixed-metal anions are greater than that of the net chloroaluminate ILs. The Fukui function values showed that most of the mixed chlorometallate ILs belong to bifunctional distribution. The mixed chlorometallate ILs both have electrophilic and nucleophilic sites, which would be beneficial for their applications.

3,5-Bicyclic aryl piperidines are derivatized to generate chiral B/N FLPs. The Lewis acidities were assessed by experimental and computational methods. The activity in HD scrambling and hydrogenation was also assessed. These data demonstrate that a threshold of combined Lewis acidity and basicity is essential to activate H2.

The gas phase ion molecule reactions of a number of potential fluoride donors with carbon dioxide and carbonyl fluoride have been studied. By determination of preferential directions of fluoride transfer the fluoride affinities of carbon dioxide and carbonyl fluoride have been bracketed and found to be 33 ± 3 kcal/mol and 35 + 3 kcal/mol respectively. In addition, from gas phase acidity studies of acetyl fluoride and 2-fluoropropene the fluoride affinities of ketene and allene have been calculated to be 38 ± 2 kcal/mol and 15 ± 2 kcal/mol respectively. The order of fluoride affinities (Lewis acidities) of carbon dioxide, ketene, and allene have been examined and explained in terms of the electron affinities of the F—C(A)(B) species (A,B=O,CH2) and the C—F bond dissociation energies. These quantities have been estimated and the latter interpreted on the basis of the π bond energies of the three compounds.
