Abstract:
Herein, we report the synthesis of 11,12-dihydroindolo[2,3-a]carbazole (InC) 1 incorporating expanded porphyrinoid 8, and its boron(iii) complexes (8·BF2 and 8·BF). These macrocycles exhibit a 'figure-eight' conformation that exists as a pair of helical enantiomers (P,P and M,M), confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The 'figure-eight' structures are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds such as NH⋯N and NH⋯F interactions. The synthesized macrocycles demonstrate excellent stability under ambient conditions. Further, the helically-locked structure 8·BF exhibited closely held InC units with a distance of 6.17 Å and enabled facile optical resolution using chiral HPLC. Circular dichroism spectroscopy of enantiopure 8·BF shows the Cotton effect at 692 nm extending to the near-IR region with Δε up to 150 M-1 cm-1. The chiral induction of racemic macrocycle 8 was employed using enantiopure mandelic acids.

02:36Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
