General Description

The chemical 2,6-BIS(HYDROXYMETHYL)-4-METHOXYPHENOL, also known as Dihydroxydibenzylmethane or UV-320, is a phenolic compound that is commonly used as a UV-absorbing agent in various consumer products such as plastics, adhesives, coatings, and rubber. It functions by absorbing and dissipating ultraviolet radiation, thereby preventing the degradation and discoloration of products exposed to sunlight. 2,6-BIS(HYDROXYMETHYL)-4-METHOXYPHENOL also possesses antioxidant properties, making it effective in protecting materials from oxidative damage. Additionally, it has been found to have potential applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, particularly in the formulation of sunscreens and skin care products. However, there may be concerns regarding its potential environmental and health impacts, and further research is needed to fully understand its safety and usage.

Photoinduced DNA Interstrand Cross-Linking by Benzene Derivatives: Leaving Groups Determine the Efficiency of the Cross-Linker

We have synthesized and characterized two small libraries of 2-OMe or 2-NO2-benzene analogues 2a-i and 3a-i containing a wide variety of leaving groups. Irradiation of these compounds at 350 nm generated benzyl radicals that were spontaneously oxidized to

Coordination cluster analogues of the high-Spin [Mn19] system with functionalized 2,6-Bis(hydroxymethyl)phenol ligands

A series of 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)-4-R-phenol ligands (H3LR; R = H, F, Cl, Br, I, Ph, NH2, NO2, SMe) have either been newly synthesized or the existing syntheses have been significantly improved to investigate ligand-functionalized analogues of the previously published coordination cluster [MnIII12MnII7(μ4-O)8(μ3-N3)8(HLMe)12(MeCN)6]Cl2·10MeOH·MeCN (1) with S = 83/2. The crystal structures and magnetic properties of three such Mn19 clusters, namely, [MnIII12MnII7(μ4-O)8(HLH)12(μ3-Cl)7(μ3-OMe)(MeOH)6]Cl2·16H2O·10MeOH·MeCN (3), [MnIII12MnII7(μ4-O)8(HLI)12(μ3-N3)8(MeOH)6](O2CH)2·16MeOH·10MeCN (4) and [MnIII12MnII7(μ4-O)8(μ3-Cl)7.7(μ3-OMe)0.3(HLSMe)12(MeOH)6]Cl2·27MeOH (5) are reported and compared to those of the parent cluster. When these ligands are functionalized with substituents of moderate electronegativity, it is possible to synthesize Mn19 analogues; however, when such ligands bear highly electron-donating (amino) or -withdrawing (nitro) substituents, the Mn19 analogues are no longer accessible. The Mn19 cluster framework is both magnetically and structurally robust with respect to the electron-donor/acceptor characteristics of the ligand substituent; therefore, the Mn19 system is an excellent platform for peripheral chemical engineering. The robustness of the inorganic {MnIII12MnII7(μ4-O)8} core of Mn19 systems with variously functionalized encapsulating ligands is demonstrated by the invariance of the record S = 83/2 spin state. Chemical modification aimed towards attaching the molecule to various substrates does not interfere with the electronic structure.
