An unsymmetrically substituted triphenylene, with two adjacent chloroethoxyethyl lateral flexible chains, was synthesized and characterized. Although this compound showed no mesomorphic behavior, it formed a donor–acceptor charge-transfer complex with 2,4,7-trinitrofluorenone (TNF). The resulting 1:1 complex has been investigated using UV–vis and IR spectroscopy, optical microscopy, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction. A columnar mesophase with hexagonal symmetry was found. More interestingly, this charge-transfer complex can be easily aligned on a glass surface in a homeotropic orientation, which is stable at room temperature (RT) and over a wide temperature range.

Computational Predictions

Recent advances in radical-based catalytic reactions have created an increasing demand for the understanding of their mechanistic underpinnings. Structural elucidation of transient reactive intermediates via diffraction techniques, though rarely possible, is one of the most decisive ways to support such mechanistic hypotheses. Here we present the isolation, structural elucidation, and theoretical analysis of an electrochemically generated and catalytically relevant charge-transfer species formed between the azidyl radical and (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO). The unusual bent N–N–N angle and the pancake bonding between these two fragments highlight the weak bonding interactions present in this complex. This X-ray structure validates computational predictions as well as mechanistic proposals of TEMPO-mediated radical azidation reactions.

Ion Recombination

Photolysis of the 1-methylnaphthalene/tetranitromethane charge-transfer complex yields the triad of 1-methylnaphthalene radical cation, nitrogen dioxide and trinitromethanide ion. Recombination of this triad gives predominantly 4-methyl-t-2-nitro-r-1-trinitromethyl-1,2- dihydronaphthalene (1), the epimeric 1-methyl-1-nitro-4-trinitromethyl-1,4-dihydronaphtha-lenes (2) and (3), 8-methyl-c-4-trinitromethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-r-l-ol (4), nitro cyclo -adduct (5), 8-methyl-c-4-trinitromethyl-1,4-dihydronaphthalen-r-l-ol (6), hydroxy cyclo-adduct (7) and 4-methyl-t-1-trinitromethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-r-2-ol (8). Adducts (1)- (3), (5), (7) and (8) are formed by attack of the trinitromethanide ion at C4 of the 1-methylnaphthalene radical cation, while adducts (4) and (6) are formed by corresponding attack at C5. Adduct (1) undergoes thermal cycloaddition to give the nitro cycloadduct (5) and it is assumed that the hydroxy cycloadduct (7) is formed in analogous manner from 4-methyl-t-1-trinitromethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-r-2-ol (8). X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for adducts (1), (3)-(5) and (7).

Ion Recombination

Photolysis of the phenanthrene/tetranitromethane charge-transfer complex yields the triad of phenanthrene radical cation, nitrogen dioxide, and trinitromethanide ion. Recombination of this triad in dichloromethane at 20° gives 9-nitrophenanthrene (1), trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-yl nitrate (2a), trans-9-nitro-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (2b), and trans-10-trinitromethyl-9,10-dihydrophenanthren-9-ol (2c). Adduct formation is partially suppressed when trifluoroacetic acid (0.7 M) is added to the dichloromethane solvent at 20°, the major product identified being 9-nitrophenanthrene (1). At -20° in dichloromethane, or in acetonitrile at 20°, 10'-nitro-9,9',10,10'-tetrahydro-9,9'-biphenanthren-10-yl nitrate (3) is formed, apparently by reaction of nitrogen dioxide with phenanthrene. X-Ray crystal structure determinations are reported for adducts (2a,b).
