Os complexos de formula geral [{Ln(tta)3(tppo)}2(µ-dppeo)] foram obtidos a partir do controle da estequiometria e da ordem de adição dos reagentes em reações envolvendo os ligantes fosfinóxidos e os complexos precursores [Ln(tta)3(H2O)2]. A caracterização foi realizada por análise elementar, espectroscopia vibracional na região do infravermelho, espectroscopia eletrônica na região do visível, ressonância magnética nuclear de 1H e de 31P e análise termogravimétrica. Para os complexos de európio(III), são apresentados cálculos semi-empíricos realizados baseando-se nas geometrias de coordenação do estado fundamental desses complexos usando o modelo SPARKLE/AM1. Os espectros de fotoluminescência exibem as bandas de emissão características dos íons lantanídeos utilizados confirmando a atuação do efeito antena nos mesmos. Os espectros de emissão dos complexos do íon Eu(III) apresentam elevados valores da razão assimétrica I(5D0?7F2)/ I(5D0?7F1) e de ?2 evidenciando a presença dos íons Eu(III) em ambientes químicos de baixa simetria e a atuação do acoplamento dinâmico. Os complexos de európio(III) mostram um aumento do tempo de vida de emissão e do rendimento quântico com a substituição das moléculas de água devido a diminuição das taxas de decaimentos não radiativos do nível emissor 5D0. A energia do nível tripleto do complexo [{Eu(tta)3(tppo)}2(?-dppeo)] determinada experimentalmente e calculada apresentam boa concordância. Os cálculos das taxas de transferência e retro-transferência de energia mostram que, no caso da transferência de energia dos ligantes para o íon Eu(III), as rotas mais eficientes são T?5D1 e T?5D0. As coordenadas de cromaticidade da Commission Internacionale d¿Éclairage (CIE) indicam que a luz vermelha emitida pelos complexos contendo íons Eu(III) apresenta alta pureza. Os complexos com emissões na região do infravermelho próximo apresentam tempos de vida de emissão 10 vezes menor do que os complexos de európio devido baixa eficiência do efeito antena e a desativação não radiativa dos níveis emissores dos íons Er(III) e Yb(III).

Efeito Antena / Abstract: This work reports on photoluminescent properties of a series of lanthanide dinuclear complexes containing 2- thenoyltrifluoroacetylacetonate, [2 (diphenylphosphoryl)ethyl](diphenyl)phosphine oxide and triphenyl oxide as ligands. The complexes have the general formula [{Ln(tta)3(tppo)}2(µ-dppeo)] and were obtained by controlling the stereochemistry and reagents addition in reactions involving the phosphine oxide ligands and precursor complexes [Ln(tta)3(H2O)2] The characterization was carried out using elemental analysis, IR vibrational spectroscopy, UV-Vis electronic spectroscopy, 1H and 31P NMR and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. Semi-empirical calculations have been carried out using the fundamental geometries of europium(III) complexes optimized by the SPARKLE/AM1 model. The photoluminescence spectra under excitation in the ligand show the narrow bands characteristics of lanthanide ions used, confirming that the antenna effect is operating in all complexes. The emission spectra of Eu(III) complexes show high values of either asymmetric ratio I(5D0?7F2)/ I(5D0?7F1) and the intensity parameter ?2 indicating low-symmetry chemical environments occupied by Eu(III) ions and contribution of the dynamic coupling mechanism. The Eu(III) complexes show an increasing of the luminescence lifetime and the quantum yield as the water molecules have been substituted. This was attributed to a reduction of the non-radiative decay of the 5D0 level in complexes without water molecules in the coordination sphere of lanthanide trivalent ion. The experimental value of the triplet energy level for the complex [{Eu(tta)3(tppo)}2(?-dppeo)] is consistent with the calculated one. Calculations of the energy transfer rates in the europium complexes show that the most efficient routes are T?5D1 e T?5D0. The chromaticity coordinates indicate high purity for the red light emitted by the europium complexes. The complexes with emission in the near infrared region show emission life 10 times lower than the europium complex. This was attributed to different factors such as low relative efficiency of the antenna effect and the efficient non-radiative deactivation of emitting levels in Er (III) and Yb (III) mainly by C-H oscillators in the ligands.

<div><p>Nitrenes are reactive intermediates that are known to generate high interest organic molecules. Due to their inherent instability, nitrenes are often stabilized by introducing them to transition metal complexes. Many transition metal stabilized nitrenes (M=NR₂) have been reported and some of these complexes have been shown to control nitrene reactivity and selectivity. Transition metal nitrene reactivity can be categorized into two main groups: bond-insertion and group transfer reactions. In the reference to the former, chapter one of this dissertation highlights using unique dinuclear Nicatalysts to generate nitrenes from aromatic azides. These Ni₂ nitrenes are used towards selective C(sp²)−H bond amination in order to generate indole and carbazole derivatives. This work highlights the unique properties of the Ni₂ imide that enable a 1,2-addition pathway, which contrasts known bimetallic nitrene insertion reactions. A detailed mechanistic study, primarily using density functional theory (DFT) is the focus of this chapter.</p> <p>Chapter two of this dissertation focuses on nitrene group transfer. In particular, this chapter highlights the ability of the dinuclear Nicatalyst [<i>ⁱ</i>^-PrNDI]Ni₂(C₆H₆) to react with aromatic azides to perform N=N coupling. A large scope of functional groups are tolerated in high yield with short reaction times. Catalyst comparison studies, studies on relevant catalytic intermediates for N=N coupling and reaction kinetics are shown in this chapter. Lastly, chapter three showcases the expansion of the nitrene group transfer ability of [<i>ⁱ</i>^-PrNDI]Ni₂(C₆H₆) to generate high molecular weight azopolymers from aromatic diazides. These azopolymers are generated from monomers often used in organic semi-conducting materials. End group control and post polymer functionalization are highlighted in this chapter. Lastly, this work showcases a new polymer, polyazoisoindigo, as the first organic semiconducting material that reversibly transitions from a colored to colorless state upon reduction.</p><br></div>

<p> Metal-stabilized carbenes, most commonly formed through the decomposition of  diazoacetates, are extensively employed in organic synthesis. However, several classes of carbenes,  such as vinylidenes, are challenging to utilize in transition metal catalysis due to the instability of  the required diazo precursors. To overcome this challenge, most transition metal-catalyzed  vinylidene transfer and insertion methods rely on alkynes as vinylidene precursors. Only catalysts  that form stable M=C multiple bonds and weak M(π-C≡C) interactions can promote this alkyne  isomerization, and the resultant metal(vinylidene) species is often less reactive compared to free  vinylidenes. The discovery of 1,1-dihaloalkenes as precursors to transition metal vinylidene  complexes has significantly expanded the scope of vinylidene transfer and insertion reactions.  Dinuclear catalysts were found to promote the reductive cyclization of 1,1-dichloroalkenes  containing pendant alkenes to form methylenecycloalkenes, and mechanistic studies are consistent  with the formation of a Ni2(vinylidene) species. Furthermore, these catalysts promote reductive  three-component cycloaddition reactions with 1,1-dichloroalkenes and aldehydes to generate  methylenedioxolanes, which upon treatment with aqueous acid provides access in one step to new,  unsymmetrical aliphathic α-hydroxy ketones that would be difficult to access with existing  methods. Under dilute conditions, an enone byproduct is formed and a DFT model is presented  that accounts for concentration-based reaction selectivity.</p>

Esta tese relata um estudo pormenorizado, efetuado através da técnica de Ressonância Paramagnética Eletrônica (RPE) em bandas X (~ 9.5 GHz) e Q (~ 34.5 GHz), de amostras nas formas cristalina e pulverizada dos compostos dinucleares Cu2(TzTs)4, C40H36Cu2N8O8S8, e [Cu(flu)2DMF]2, C62H50Cu2F12N6O10. Tratamentos meticulosos dos espectros de RPE pertinentes a tais compostos propiciaram determinar tanto o parâmetro de interação antiferromagnética, J0, entre pares de íons Cu(II) existentes em uma unidade dinuclear (Hex = J0 S1·S2) como também os valores principais alusivos às matrizes g e D; onde a primeira refere-se à interação Zeeman [Hz = BB0(g1·S1 + g2·S2)] e a última reporta as interações spin-spin anisotrópicas (Hani = S1·D·S2) entre pares de íons Cu(II) presentes em uma unidade dinuclear. Ademais, medidas de RPE realizadas com um monocristal do composto Cu2(TzTs)4 permitiram detectar e estimar, no contexto interdinuclear, o fraco acoplamento de exchange, |J\'| = (0.060 ± 0.015) cm-1, existente entre unidades dinucleares vizinhas: este acoplamento existente entre uma unidade dinuclear e o meio randômico constituído pelas unidades dinucleares vizinhas conduz à decoerência (i.e. uma transição de fase quântica que colapsa a interação dipolar quando a magnitude do acoplamento de exchange isotrópico entre as unidades dinucleares vizinhas iguala-se à magnitude do acoplamento dipolar intradinuclear). No âmbito concernente ao composto [Cu(flu)2DMF]2, foi possível simular acuradamente as sete linhas de ressonância características do desdobramento hiperfino advindo de n = 2 núcleos equivalentes de centros paramagnéticos Cu2+ (I = 3/2) e, por conseguinte, os valores principais pertinentes à matriz de interação hiperfina A (Hhyper = S1·A·I1 + S2·A·I2) puderam ser precisamente determinados. / We report detailed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies at X-band (~ 9.5 GHz) and Q-band (~ 34.5 GHz) of powder and single-crystal samples of the dinuclear compounds Cu2(TzTs)4, C40H36Cu2N8O8S8, and [Cu(flu)2DMF]2, C62H50Cu2F12N6O10. Meticulous investigations of their EPR data allow determining the antiferromagnetic interaction parameter, J0, between Cu(II) ions in the dinuclear unit (Hex = J0 S1·S2) as well as the principal values of both matrices g and D, where the first one is related to the Zeeman interaction [Hz = BB0(g1·S1 + g2·S2)] and the latter is associated with the anisotropic spin-spin interactions (Hani = S1·D·S2) between Cu(II) ion pairs in a dinuclear unit. In addition, EPR measurements of single-crystal samples of the compound Cu2(TzTs)4 allow detecting and estimating very weak exchange couplings between neighbour dinuclear units with an estimated magnitude |J\'| = (0.060 ± 0.015) cm-1: this coupling with the environment leads to decoherence (i.e. a quantum phase transition that collapses the dipolar interaction when the isotropic exchange coupling with neighbor dinuclear units equals the magnitude of the intradinuclear dipolar coupling). With reference to [Cu(flu)2DMF]2 compound, it was possible to simulate precisely the seven-line copper hyperfine splitting arising from n = 2 nonequivalent nuclei related to paramagnetic Cu2+ (I = 3/2) centers and, as a consequence of these accurate simulations, the principal values of the hyperfine interaction matrix A (Hhyper = S1·A·I1 + S2·A·I2) could be reliably obtained.
