A series of multilayered cyclophanes up to sixfold were synthesized by 1,6-Hofmann elimination method. Odd layered and some dissymmetric ones were derived by means of cross-breeding pyrolysis of mixed quaternary ammonium hydroxides. The electronic spectra, absorption, emission, and CT absorption of charge-transfer complexes, of these cyclophanes exhibited remarkable transannular π-electronic interaction among chromophores closely stacked by methylene bridges. The interaction is increased eminently when the layer is varied from single to quadruple, but becomes less effective from quadruple to fivefold and no longer appreciable for more than fivefold one.
Magnetic-property measurements of pyrolytic carbon prepared by the thermal chemical vapor deposition of adamantane were carried out using the Faraday balance method and the electron-spin-resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Two kinds of samples under different preparation batches were employed to examine the batch dependence as well as the magnetic properties of each. The content of ferromagnetic metallic oxide as impurity in these samples has been confirmed to be low enough not to influence the present magnetic-property measurements. Analysis of the magnetization curves observed in the magnetic field range 0–5 T has shown that these samples are basically superparamagnetic and, even, ferromagnetic at low temperature in one sample. The ESR measurements have also supported these aspects. The connection of the magnetic properties and batch dependence obtained here will be discussed in detail.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
