The electron-rich nitro group, having higher sensitivity to environments, is attractive for constructing stimuli-responsive luminescent materials. However, it also causes the fluorescence quenching of luminogens, making a formidable challenge to...

Abstract Fluorescence Quenching of Alternant and Non-alternant Polycyclic Hydrocarbons by Nitro Compounds Fluorescence quenching of polycyclic aromatic hydro­ carbons by nitromethane or nitrobenzene in fluid solutions is due to an electron transfer mechanism. The non diffusion controlled rate constant of quenching is very much greater for alternant than for non-alternant hydrocarbons with equal singlet excitation energy. This is explained by the known more positive reduction potential of non-alternant compared to alternant hydrocarbons.

Acetals of dimethyl phenyl- and heteroaryl-α-hydroxymethanephosphonates were deprotonated to generate carbanions, which enter the vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) of hydrogen in aromatic nitro compounds to form 4-nitrobenzhydrylphosphonates and α-heteroaryl-4-nitrobenzylphosphonates. Similarly acetals of cyano­hydrins of heteroaromatic aldehydes (furfural and 2-formylthiophene) react to form heteroaryl 4-nitroarylacetonitriles. The anion of the hemiacetal of acetaldehyde is an efficient leaving group in the base-induced β-elimination step – the crucial step in the VNS reaction. The reaction selectively occurred at the para-position to the nitro group.

A stimuli-responsive hexameric oligophenol host undergoes amine-induced co-operative folding and fluorescence quenching, enabling easy classification of the bound metal ion guests as well as selective sensing of Cu2+ ions.

Based on systematic investigation of mononitroimidazoles, selective polarographic and spectrophotometric methods for determination of nitrazole compounds in reaction mixture are proposed. It was proved that the selectivity is based on the different properties of the nitro group due to the effects of the nitro group position in the ring, the type and position of the other substituents and on the fact whether the compound is N-substituted or not. The proposed methods can be successfully used for monitoring the synthetic procedures and decreasing the number of experiments for optimization. Based on the anticipated and proved behaviour of the nitro compounds of pyrazole, novel mononitropyrazole derivatives were synthetized in a new way and with high yields. Applying the polarographic method it was discovered that during N-substitution of tautomeric mononitroimidazole and mononitropyrazole substrates other byproducts were obtained besides the main products and undesired isomers. The products were identified and then a correct and more complete N-substitution scheme could be given. Following quantitatively these N-substitution processes conclusions which directly concern the mechanism of reactions were drawn.

Two series of dinitrophenyl haptens, in which chlorine replaces one or both nitro groups, were used to investigate, by a combination of high-resolution 1H n.m.r. and fluorescence quenching, the presence of groups in the combining site of protein MOPC 315, which form hydrogen bonds to the aromatic-ring substituents of the hapten. The large differences in binding constants on successive replacement of nitro groups were shown to be due to specific hapten-substituent-protein interactions by (a) showing that there was little difference in the interaction between these haptens and 3-methylindole (a model for the residue tryptophan-93L with which the hapten stacks in protein MOPC 315), (b) proving by 1H n.m.r. that the mode of hapten binding is constant and (c) showing that the differences in Kd were consistent with the relative hydrogen-bonding capacities of chlorine and the nitro moiety. In this way it was established that each nitro group forms a hydrogen bond. Furthermore, from consideration of the 1H n.m.r. chemical shifts of several dinitrophenyl haptens and their trinitrophenyl analogues, it was shown that there is no distortion of the o-nitro group on binding to the variable fragment of protein MOPC 315.
