Abstract:
We report the self-assembling behavior of a terpyridine-based alkyne platinum(II) complex (R-L-Pt-BP) under varying composition ratios of DMSO and H2O. The resulting self-assemblies exhibited distinct photoluminescence and circular dichroism (CD) properties depending on the solvent conditions. Notably, strong positive CD signals were observed for the self-assembled R-L-Pt-BP in DMSO and H2O (2:8 v/v), accompanied by a red-shift in emission wavelength. In contrast, a negative CD signal was observed for the self-assembled R-L-Pt-BP in DMSO and H2O (5:5 v/v), along with a blue shift in photoluminescence (PL). The self-assembly formed in DMSO and H2O (2:8 v/v) followed a cooperative model characterized by a nucleation-elongation mechanism, whereas those formed in DMSO and H2O (5:5 and 8:2 v/v) adhered to an isodesmic model. Thermodynamic parameters were determined using EQ model of the heating curves. The Gibbs free energy (ΔG) of the self-assemblies formed in DMSO and H2O (5:5 and 2:8 v/v) was found to be higher than that formed in DMSO and H2O (8:2 v/v).

01:20Aldehydes and Ketones with Water: Hydrate Formation
The formation of hydrates is a reversible reaction. Hydrate formation is influenced by steric and electronic factors accompanying the alkyl substituents on the carbonyl group: The rate of hydrate formation increases with a decrease in the number of alkyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon. Hence,...
02:15Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
02:40Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
