RESUMO
Organic circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active molecular emitters featuring dynamic propeller-like luminophores were prepared in one step from cyclic(alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs). These molecules exhibit through-space arene-arene π-delocalization and rapid intramolecular inter-system crossing (ISC) in line with their helical character.
RESUMO
A set of 16 chiral ruthenium complexes containing atropisomerically stable N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) ligands was synthesized from prochiral NHC precursors. After a rapid screening in asymmetric ring-opening-cross metathesis (AROCM), the most effective chiral atrop BIAN-NHC Ru-catalyst (up to 97 : 3â er) was then converted to a Z-selective catechodithiolate complex. The latter proved to be highly efficient in Z-selective AROCM of exo-norbornenes affording valuable trans-cyclopentanes with excellent Z-selectivity (>98 %) and high enantioselectivity (up to 96.5 : 3.5â er).
