Stepwise complexation behavior of Cu(I) with the ligand was revealed by titrimetric ultraviolet- visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic analysis. Formation of a high-molecular-weight polymer (M-w = 1.21 x 10(5) Da) was confirmed by a size-exclusion chromatography-viscometry-right-angle laser light scattering study. A bundle structure of the polymer chains was observed by scanning electron microscopy. A cyclic voltammogram of the polymer film showed reversible redox waves at a negative potential. A device consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) glass coated with a film of the polymer exhibited reversible green-to-black electrochromism upon alternate application of -3 and +1 V.}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzeSperlichMuelleretal.2021, author = {Schwarze, Thomas and Sperlich, Eric and M{\"u}ller, Thomas and Kelling, Alexandra and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Synthesis efforts of acyclic bis(monoalkylamino)maleonitriles and macrocyclic bis(dialkylamino)maleonitriles as fluorescent probes for cations and a new colorimetric copper(II) chemodosimeter}, series = {Helvetica chimica acta}, volume = {104}, journal = {Helvetica chimica acta}, number = {6}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1522-2675}, doi = {10.1002/hlca.202100028}, pages = {e2100028}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In this article, we report on the synthesis of acyclic bis(monoalkylamino)maleonitriles and on the intended synthesis of macrocyclic bis(dialkylamino)maleonitriles to get fluorescent probes for cations. During our efforts to synthesize macrocyclic bis(dialkylamino)maleonitriles, we were only able to isolate macrocyclic bis(dialkylamino)-fumaronitriles. The synthesis of macrocyclic bis(dialkylamino)maleonitriles is challenging, due to the fact that bis-(dialkylamino)fumaronitriles are thermodynamically more stable than the corresponding bis(dialkylamino)-maleonitriles. Further, it turned out that the acyclic bis(monoalkylamino)maleonitriles and macrocyclic bis-(dialkylamino)fumaronitriles are no suitable tools to detect cations by a strong fluorescence enhancement. Further, only the bis(monoalkylamino)maleonitriles, which are bearing a 2-pyridyl unit as an additional complexing unit, are able to selectively recognize copper(II) by a color change from yellow to red.}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzeKellingMuelleretal.2012, author = {Schwarze, Thomas and Kelling, Alexandra and M{\"u}ller, Holger and Trautmann, Michael and Klamroth, Tillmann and Baumann, Otto and Strauch, Peter and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {N-2-Pyridinylmethyl-N '-arylmethyl-diaminomaleonitriles: New Highly Selective Chromogenic Chemodosimeters for Copper(II)}, series = {Chemistry - a European journal}, volume = {18}, journal = {Chemistry - a European journal}, number = {34}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {0947-6539}, doi = {10.1002/chem.201201731}, pages = {10506 -- 10510}, year = {2012}, language = {en} }
