Leaving Groups

Rates of solvolysis of several ethyl and 2-propyl arenesulfonates having π donor leaving groups were measured in the absence of accepter and in the presence of the π acceptors 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) and 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone (TNF). With four of the nine combinations investigated, added accepter produced small but measurable rate enhancements. Ester–TNF 1:1 association constants were measured spectrophotometrically at 20, 30, and 40 °C in acetic acid for 2-propyl 4-methoxy-1-naphthalenesulfonate (3b), 4,8-dimethoxy-1-naphthalenesulfonate (4), 3,7-dimethyl-1-naphthalenesulfonate (5), and 1-pyrenesulfonate (6). From the equilibrium and kinetic data, the reactivity of the 1:1 ester–TNF complex relative to that of the uncomplexed ester (kc/ku) in acetolysis at 85.73 °C was estimated to be lessthan 4.2 and 1.4 for 3b and 4, respectively, 4.4 ± 2.0 for 5, and 2.8 ± 0.4 for 6. The value of kc/ku for 6 determined from analysis of the kinetic data alone is 2.7 ± 0.8.

Charge Transfer Complexation

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to create and study single molecule junctions with thioether-terminated oligothiophene molecules. We find that the conductance of these junctions increases upon formation of charge transfer complexes of the molecules with tetracyanoethene, and that the extent of the conductance increase is greater the longer is the oligothiophene, i.e. the lower is the conductance of the uncomplexed molecule in the junction. We use non-equilibrium Green's function transport calculations to explore the reasons for this theoretically, and find that new resonances appear in the transmission function, pinned close to the Fermi energy of the contacts, as a consequence of the charge transfer interaction. This is an example of a room temperature quantum interference effect, which in this case boosts junction conductance in contrast to earlier observations of QI that result in diminished conductance.<br>
