The synthesis, isolation and characterization of isobenzofuran are described in this publication. Isobenzofuran is of general interest in synthetic and physical organic chemistry because it is one of ...the most reactive dienes known. A number of synthetic pathways have been published which all suffer from disadvantages such as low yields and difficult purification. We present a synthetic pathway to prepare isobenzofuran in laboratory scale with high yields, from affordable, commercially available starting materials.
Controlled switching of the spin state of transition metal ions, particularly of Fe
and Fe
, is a prerequisite to achieve selectivity, efficiency, and catalysis in a number of metalloenzymes. Here we ...report on an iron(III) porphyrin with a photochromic axial ligand which, upon irradiation with two different wavelengths reversibly switches its spin state between low-spin (S =
/
) and high-spin (S =
/
) in solution (DMSO-acetone, 2:598). The switching efficiency is 76% at room temperature. The system is neither oxygen nor water sensitive, and no fatigue was observed after more than 1000 switching cycles. Concomitant with the spin-flip is a change in redox potential by ~60 mV. Besides serving as a simple model for the first step of the cytochrome P450 catalytic cycle, the spin switch can be used to switch the spin-lattice relaxation time T
of the water protons by a factor of 15.
We present a fully reversible and highly efficient on-off photoswitching of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast with green (500 nm) and violet-blue (435 nm) light. The contrast change is based ...on intramolecular light-driven coordination-induced spin state switch (LD-CISSS), performed with azopyridine-substituted Ni-porphyrins. The relaxation time of the solvent protons in 3 mM solutions of the azoporphyrins in DMSO was switched between 3.5 and 1.7 s. The relaxivity of the contrast agent changes by a factor of 6.7. No fatigue or side reaction was observed, even after >100,000 switching cycles in air at room temperature. Electron-donating substituents at the pyridine improve the LD-CISSS in two ways: better photostationary states are achieved, and intramolecular binding is enhanced.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Ni(C52H34Cl4N4O4)·CH2Cl2, consists of two discrete complexes, which show significant differences in the conformation of the side chain. Each NiII cation is ...coordinated by four nitro-gen atoms of a porphyrin mol-ecule within a square-planar coordination environment. Weak intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O inter-actions stabilize the mol-ecular conformation. In the crystal structure, discrete complexes are linked by C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. In addition, the two unique di-chloro-methane solvate mol-ecules (one being disordered) are hydrogen-bonded to the Cl atoms of the chloro-phenyl groups of the porphyrin mol-ecules, thus stabilizing the three-dimensional arrangement. The crystal exhibits pseudo-ortho-rhom-bic metrics, but structure refinements clearly show that the crystal system is monoclinic and that the crystal is twinned by pseudo-merohedry.The asymmetric unit of the title compound, Ni(C52H34Cl4N4O4)·CH2Cl2, consists of two discrete complexes, which show significant differences in the conformation of the side chain.

Charge-balance is achieved by perchlorate anions that are disordered around twofold rotation axes. In the crystal structure, the discrete cationic complexes and the perchlorate anions are arranged into layers with weak C-H⋯O inter-actions between the cations and the anions. The porphyrin moieties of neighboring layers show a herringbone-like arrangement.
