AbstractIn this contribution, we investigate by means of correlated quantum-chemical calculations the influence of intermolecular interactions on the absorption and emission properties of conjugated chains. Various strategies are suggested to avoid a substantial decrease in fluorescence quantum yield in condensed media. Finally, the reliability of our theoretical approach is validated by showing the remarkable agreement obtained between the experimental data and the calculated optical properties of clusters formed by sexithienyl molecules.

Silver-mediated cross-coupling reactions proceed via anionic ate complexes, which have been characterized by a combination of NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and quantum-chemical calculations.

Acid-catalyzed condensation of resorcinol with 3,5-diisopropoxybenzaldehyde and 3,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde afforded aryl substituted resorc[4]arenes 1a and 1b, respectively. All 16 hydroxyls in 1b were acetylated providing resorc[4]arene 1c. The conformational behaviour of 1a, 1b and 1c was studied by NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. It was found that the stabilization of their conformations is an effect of competing π-π and OH-π interactions, hydrogen bonding and steric features, respectively. As a result, C2 symmetrical boat conformations 1a, 1b and 1c with aryls in axial positions were identified in all cases. In case of 1c also the formation of C2 symmetrical conformation with aryls in equatorial positions (boat-eq) was identified. Moreover, compounds 1a and 1b being able to create hydrogen bonds, adopt also symmetrical C4 crown conformations. For 1c(boat-ax), the boat-boat conversion with energy barrier of 80 kJ/mol was observed, while the 1c(boat-eq) was found to be rigid in the whole accessible temperature range. Both conformers of 1c exhibit also second dynamic process – rotation of bridge aryl rings (ΔG‡ = 66 kJ/mol).
