Abstract:
Inspired by natural quinoline, a series of novel quinoline-4-ester derivatives featuring a biphenyl motif were designed and synthesized via six steps. All the target compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. These compounds were evaluated for their fungicidal activity in vitro. The fungicidal activity results showed that all 13 compounds in this series had certain fungicidal activity against 10 types of fungus. Compounds 7a-7c possessed moderate fungicidal activity (31.3%) against Alternaria solani, whereas compound 7g exhibited moderate fungicidal activity (33.3%) against Physalospora piricola. Structure-activity relationships indicated ortho- or meta-methyl substituents will increase activity. Furthermore, the compound 7d was characterized by x-ray diffraction. Hirshfeld surface analysis identified that H···H (46.9%), H···C (11.7%), and H···X (7.3%) interactions are the dominant crystal packing force, whereas density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided the energy gap (ΔE = 4.15 eV), chemical softness (σ, 0.48) and chemical hardness (η, 2.07), and electrophilicity index (ω, 7.16) for further optimization.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

02:30Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
