Abstract:
Three novel rigid-rod conjugated organic-POM hybrids (1, 2 and 3) containing pendant amino terminus, with different rod lengths and different substituents on the rod, have been respectively synthesized via one-pot reaction of hexamolybdate and the corresponding aromatic diamine (for 1 and 2) and reaction of octamolybdate and the corresponding aromatic diamine dihydrochloride (for 3) with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) as a dehydrating agent. These complexes have been characterized by UV/Vis, IR, (1)H NMR, ESI and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The influences of the rod length and substituents on the properties of these compounds have been systematically investigated, which provide necessary information for further preparations of complicated hybrid materials via reactions with pendant amino groups.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
Acid Halides to Amides: Aminolysis
In the first step of the aminolysis mechanism, the amine attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the second step, the carbonyl group is re-formed with the elimination of a chloride...
