RESUMO
A convenient synthetic approach to asymmetrically functionalized 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzenes starting from 3-(3-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-triazines using sequential aza-Diels-Alder reactions and Stille cross-coupling is reported. Photophysical properties of the obtained compounds are studied.
RESUMO
A series of new α-(N-biphenyl)-substituted 2,2'-bipyridines were obtained through the combination of the ipso-nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the C5-cyano group, aza-Diels-Alder and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, starting from 5-cyano-1,2,4-triazines. For the obtained compounds, photophysical and fluorosolvatochromic properties were studied. Fluorophores 3l and 3b demonstrated unexpected AIEE activity, while 3a and 3h showed promising nitroexplosive detection abilities.

Linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyloids and tau-protein are known to contain a large number of cysteine (Cys) residues. In addition, certain levels of some common biogenic thiols (cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), etc.) in biological fluids are closely related to AD as well as other diseases. Therefore, probes with a selective interaction with the above-mentioned thiols can be used for the monitoring and visualizing changes of (bio)thiols in the biological fluids as well as in the brain of animal models of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, new Eu(III), Tb(III), Gd(III) and Sm(III) complexes of 2,2'-bipyridine ligands containing TEMPO fragments as receptor units for (bio)thiols are reported. The presence of free radical fragments of the ligand in the complexes was proved by using the electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method. Among all the complexes, the Eu(III) complex turned out to be the most promising one as luminescence- and spin-probe for the detection of biogenic thiols. The EPR and fluorescent titration methods showed the interaction of the resulting complex with free Cys and GSH in solution. To study the practical applicability of the probes for the monitoring of AD in-vivo, by using the above-mentioned Eu(III)-based probe, the staining of the brain of mice with amyloidosis and Vero cell cultures supplemented with the cysteine-enriched medium was studied as well as the fluorescence titration of Bovine Serum Albumin, BSA (as the model for the thiol moieties containing protein), was carried out. Based on the results of fluorescence titration, the formation of a non-covalent inclusion complex between the above-mentioned Eu(III) complex and BSA was suggested.

This paper reports the synthesis of four types of annulated pyranoindole congeners: pyrano[3,2-f]indole, pyrano[2,3-g]indole, pyrano[2,3-f]indole, and pyrano[2,3-e]indole and photophysical studies in this series. The synthesis of pyrano[3,2-f], [2,3-g], and [2,3-e]indoles involve a tandem of Bischler-Möhlau reaction of 3-aminophenol with benzoin to form 6-hydroxy- or 4-hydroxyindole followed by Pechmann condensation of these hydroxyindoles with ß-ketoesters. Pyrano[2,3-f]indoles were synthesized through the Nenitzescu reaction of p-benzoquinone and ethyl aminocrotonates and subsequent Pechmann condensation of the obtained 5-hydroxyindole derivatives. Among the pyranoindoles studied, the most promising were pyrano[3,2-f] and [2,3-g]indoles. These compounds were characterized by moderate to high quantum yields (30-89%) and a large (9000-15,000 cm-1) Stokes shift. More detailed photophysical studies were carried out for a series of the most promising derivatives of pyrano[3,2-f] and [2,3-g]indoles to demonstrate their positive solvatochromism, and the data collected was analyzed using Lippert-Mataga equation. Quantum chemical calculations were performed to deepen the knowledge of the absorption and emission properties of pyrano[3,2-f] and [2,3-g]indoles as well as to explain their unusual geometries and electronic structures.

A PASE (pot, step, atom, economic) synthetic approach to 5-aryl-6-arylthio-2,2'-bipyridine and 6-arylthio-2,5-diarylpyridine ligands/fluorophores has been reported via SNH in 6-aryl-5H-1,2,4-triazines/aza-Diels-Alder reaction sequence. In this article, the "1,2,4-triazine" methodology was successfully used for the synthesis of C6-thiophenol-substituted (2,2'-bi)pyridines as it is well known that thio-substituted (bi)pyridines and their aza-analogs are of wide practical interest. The photophysical properties of the obtained compounds are studied and compared with those reported earlier for 6-substituted 2,2'-bipyridines. The influence of the nature of substituents in the 6-arylthio(bi)pyridine core on the photophysical properties is discussed. It was observed that the new compounds exhibited promising photophysical properties and could be considered as potential push-pull fluorophores. In addition, they demonstrated greater Stokes shift values compared to the previously described 6-H, 6-arylamino and 6-pentafluoro-2,2'-bipyridines and higher fluorescence quantum yields values compare to pentafluorophenyl-substituted 2,2'-bipyridines. Depending on a nature of (bi)pyridine fluorophore LE (locally excited) and/or ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) state were prevailing in emission spectra.
RESUMO
The interactions between substituted 5-R-3-(pyridyl-2)-1,2,4-triazines with in situ generated substituted aryne intermediates have been studied. The reaction afforded either inverse demand (ID) aza-Diels-Alder products or 1,2,4-triazine ring rearrangement (domino) products as major ones depending on the nature of both the substituents at the C5 position of the 1,2,4-triazine core or in the aryne moiety. The structures of the key products were confirmed based on X-ray data. Based on the density functional theoretical (DFT) studies of the Diels-Alder transition state geometries, the influence of the nature of arynes on the direction of the 1,2,4-triazine transformation has been proposed.
RESUMO
Mechanochemically induced methods are commonly used for the depolymerization of polymers, including plastic and agricultural wastes. So far, these methods have rarely been used for polymer synthesis. Compared to conventional polymerization in solutions, mechanochemical polymerization offers numerous advantages such as less or no solvent consumption, the accessibility of novel structures, the inclusion of co-polymers and post-modified polymers, and, most importantly, the avoidance of problems posed by low monomer/oligomer solubility and fast precipitation during polymerization. Consequently, the development of new functional polymers and materials, including those based on mechanochemically synthesized polymers, has drawn much interest, particularly from the perspective of green chemistry. In this review, we tried to highlight the most representative examples of transition-metal (TM)-free and TM-catalyzed mechanosynthesis of some functional polymers, such as semiconductive polymers, porous polymeric materials, sensory materials, materials for photovoltaics, etc.
RESUMO
Methods for the remote detection of warfare agents and explosives have been in high demand in recent times. Among the several detection methods, fluorescence methods appear to be more convenient due to their low cost, simple operation, fast response time, and naked-eye-visible sensory response. For fluorescence methods, a large variety of fluorescent materials, such as small-molecule-based fluorophores, aggregation-induced emission fluorophores/materials, and supramolecular systems, have been reported in the literature. Among them, fluorescent (bio)polymers/(bio)polymer-based materials have gained wide attention due to their excellent mechanical properties and sensory performance, their ability to recognize explosives via different sensing mechanisms and their combinations, and, finally, the so-called amplification of the sensory response. This review provides the most up-to-date data on the utilization of polymers and polymer-based materials for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs)/nitro-explosives (NEs) in the last decade. The literature data have been arranged depending on the polymer type and/or sensory mechanism.
RESUMO
Polyureas (PUs) have already found wide practical applications, and various methods of their synthesis have been reported. In this manuscript, we wished to report the very first mechanochemical approach towards aromatic PUs via reactions between isomeric 2,2'-, 3,3'-, and 4,4'-diaminobiphenyls and triphosgene under solvent-free conditions following ball-milling. By using this synthetic approach, both PUs and azomethine-capped Pus were obtained. The fluorescence response of the above-mentioned PUs towards various anions in solutions were studied and selective fluorescence responses towards the hydroxyl and fluoride anions were observed.
RESUMO
A series of coumarin-pyridine-based push-pull fluorophores were prepared starting from 1,2,4-triazines by using direct C-H functionalization (SNH-reaction)-Diels-Alder-retro Diels-Alder domino reaction sequence. This efficient synthetic strategy allowed to obtain a series of 19 coumarin-pyridine fluorophores. Their photophysical properties were studied. While pyridine-substituted derivatives of 4-alkylcoumarins may be considered as alternative to coumarin dyes characterized by emission maxima mainly in a visible region with wavelengths of 402-415 nm, absorption in the UV range at 210-307 nm, and good photoluminescence quantum yields of 6-19%, all the derivatives of 4-phenylcoumarin did not exhibit any noticeable fluorescence. More detailed photophysical studies were carried out for two the most representative derivatives of 4-alkyl-coumarin-pyridines to demonstrate their positive solvatochromism, and the collected data were analyzed by using Lippert-Mataga equation, as well as Kosower and Dimroth/Reichardt scales. The obtained results demonstrate that the combining two chromophore systems, such as 2,5-diarylpyridine and coumarin ones, is promising in terms of improving the photophysical properties of the new coumarin-pyridine hybrid compounds.
