Sintesi e caratterizzazione strutturale di derivati piperidinici e morfolinici chirali

The topic of this thesis concerns the study of catalytic processes for the synthesis of chiral 3,4,5-trisubstituted piperidine and 2,6-disubstituted morpholine. Substrates possessing an α,β-unsaturated ester and a ketone moiety, able to undergo addition/cyclization cascade reactions with different pro-nucleophiles (thiophenols, acetone cyanohydrin and malononitrile), have been evaluated. Chiral and achiral systems for phase-transfer catalysis have been applied as catalysts. Moderate enantiomeric excesses have been obtained for the morpholinic products and good to excellent values for the piperidinic products, by using cyclopeptoids and quaternary ammonium salts derived from Chincona alkaloids as catalysts respectively. Moreover, the absolute configuration of the 3,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines has been determined through quantomechanical simulations of their chirooptical spectra. Finally, the relative configuration of the 2,6-disubstituted morpholines has been assigned through NMR experiments.

Sintesi i caracteritzacio dels materials multiferroics BiFeO3, La: BiFeO3 i Sr: BiFeO3

Recentment, ha crescut un notable interès pels materials multiferroics (o materials que presenten simultàniament propietats elèctriques i magnètiques), a causa de les seves múltiples aplicacions, sobretot en el camp de l"electrònica. Aquest article pretén donar a conèixer els materials multiferroics, tant des del punt de vista de la física fonamental com de la química de l"estat sòlid. Tanmateix, es presentarà un dels materials multiferroics actualment més estudiats i s"exposaran els detalls de la seva síntesi i caracterització habituals en la química de l"estat sòlid.

Sintesi e coordinazione di leganti Ciclopentadienilici O-Multifunzionalizzati

The introduction of hydroxyl groups into ligands is able to transfer high hydrophilic features to the related metal systems. The atom-economy synthetic procedure adopted which consists in the one-step Cyclopentene-oxide ring opening, quantitatitatively affords stereoselective formation of the multi-hydroxyl rac-1,2,4- C5H2[CH(CH2)3CHOH]3 Cpººº ligand1. Rh complexation of Cpººº gives rise to a novel class of water-soluble complexes (L,L)RhCpººº (LL=NBD 1, COD 2, CH2CH2 3, CO 4) (Scheme 1) characterized by their spectroscopic features (ESI-MS, IR, 2D NMR, n.O.e.). The X-ray diffraction studies of 1a reveal the occurrence of one couple of enantiomeric pairs in the crystal structure, whilst the crystal packing shows an interesting self-organization in chains of dimeric units of 1a, promoted by strong intermolecular hydroxyl H-bonding. This effect has been exploited by performing VT NMR experiments in different solvents (CDCl3, Py, DMSO). Unpredictably, in the absence of chiral tag, 1 exhibits solvent-dependent chiroptical properties (CD, αD^ 25), which are correlated to UV transitions and DFT calculations. The intra/inter molecular H-binding is crucial in driving the equilibrium between the observed atropisomers 1a and 1b, by varying the planar chirality on the two π-complexes.
