Fabrication and Assembly of Robust, Water-Soluble Molecular Interconnects via Encoded Hybridization (Final Report)

The major goals of this project include: i) the synthesis of sequence-specific oligo(peptoid)s bearing dynamic covalent pendant groups (i.e., amine, aldehyde boronic acid, and catechol) and characterization of the selective hybridization between these oligomers, where amines will reversibly interact with aldehydes and boronic acids with catechols; ii) the synthesis of dynamic covalent-bearing, trialkylsilane-protected 1,3- and 1,4-ethynyl phenylhalide monomers and their subsequent sequence-specific coupling via sequential Sonogashira ligation and fluoride-mediated silyl deprotection reactions to afford pi-conjugated oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s; iii) templated, semi-conservative replication of dynamic covalent oligomers; and iv) characterization of the dynamic covalent hybridization of oligo(phenylene-ethynylene)s and the assembly of these oligomers into complex nanostructures.

Platinum complexes of a boron-rich diphosphine ligand

Continuing herein, we describe the preparation, characterization, and reactivity of two Pt II bis-hydrocarbyl complexes containing the 1,2-bis(di(3-dicyclohexylboraneyl)propylphosphino)ethane (P 2 B Cy 4 ) ligand. These scaffolds are readily accessed from four-fold hydroboration of 1,2-bis(diallylphosphino)ethane Pt II precursors. The electrophilcity of such frameworks is showcased by facile coordination of the strong Lewis base, 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). Thermolysis reactions of [Pt(P 2 B Cy 4 )(R) 2 ] (R = CH 3 or Ph) show enhanced (and divergent) reactivity when compared to their “all-alkyl” diphosphine counterparts, implicating involvement of the pendant borane groups. This behaviour is attenuated by protection of these units with DMAP.
