We have focused on the design and synthesis of molecular cages that may be used as structural components in single-electron transistors (SETs) designed by K. K. Likharev.  This application requires not only shape-persistent cages, but also stable and selectively functionalizable structures with cavities that can host the SET's conducting island.  In this vein, we have designed two molecular cages, a triangular prism (1) and rhomboid prism (2).  Both cages consist of oligo-phenyleneethynylene edges and fac-[ReL(CO)3(phen')] corner units, where phen' is a 1,10-phenanthroline derivative with coplanar edge substituents at the 4 and 7 positions and L indicates the coordination site for the vertical-edge. Synthesis of cages 1 and 2 are intended to be achieved by via step-wise synthesis.  Most often molecular cages are obtained from suitable building blocks in a single step by self-assembly.  Although self-assembly is both a convenient and productive procedure, it is limited to producing structures with a high degree of symmetry.  Because we require stable structures that can be functionalized at various specified positions, we elected to use step-wise rather than self-assembly in their construction. This work addresses the progress made in the construction of 1 and 2, specifically, the synthesis of a triangular-shaped face and the attempted synthesis of a diamond-shaped face.  In addition, our efforts to establish optimal reactions conditions for the connection of two halfprisms by testing Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of [Re(C≡ CR)(CO)3(N^N)] complexes, where N^N is a N,N'-dimethylpiperazine or 1,10-phenanthroline derivative, will be discussed.  Finally, in collaboration with Etsuko Fujita and David Grills we have explored redox, optical, and photophysical properties of a series of [ReBr(CO)3(phen')] complexes, which are known for their attractive photophysical and photochemical properties."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:06Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"WONG, STANISLAUS"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"St. Fleur, Natalie"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:06Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2017-09-20T16:52:06Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Chemistry."},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"304 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/77152"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2015-08-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-20T16:52:06Z (GMT).
