Undecaphenylcorroles
A first major study of undecaphenylcorrole (UPC) derivatives
is
presented. Three different Cu-UPC derivatives with different para
substituents X (X = CF<sub>3</sub>, H, CH<sub>3</sub>) on the β-aryl
groups were synthesized via Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of Cu[Br<sub>8</sub>TPC] and the appropriate arylboronic acid. A single-crystal
X-ray structure of the X = CF<sub>3</sub> complex revealed a distinctly
saddled macrocycle conformation with adjacent pyrrole rings tilted
by ∼60–66° relative to one another (within the dipyrromethane units), which is somewhat higher than that observed for β-unsubstituted
Cu-TPC derivatives but slightly lower than that observed for Cu[Br<sub>8</sub>TPC] (∼70°) derivatives.
Electrochemical and electronic absorption measurements afforded some
of the first comparative insights into meso versus β substituent
effects on the copper corrole
core. The Soret maxima of the Cu-UPC complexes (∼440–445
nm), however, are comparable to those of Cu[Br<sub>8</sub>TPC] derivatives
and are considerably red-shifted relative to Cu-TPC derivatives. Para
substituents
on the β-phenyl groups were found to tune the redox
potentials of copper corroles more effectively than those on <i>meso</i>-phenyl substituents, a somewhat surprising observation
given that neither the HOMO nor LUMO has significant amplitudes at
the β-pyrrolic
positions

Atomic Force Spectroscopy Using Colloidal Tips Functionalized with Dried Crude Oil: A Versatile Tool to Investigate Oil–Mineral Interactions
The recovery efficiency
of water flooding (water injection in oil
reservoirs to recover oil) can be improved by modification of the
ionic composition of the brine. This effect is attributed to changes
in the physicochemical interactions within in the crude oil–brine–rock
(COBR) system. To systematically modify these interactions, gain predictive
capability, and optimize recovery efficiency, further understanding
of these systems is required. Our work introduces a new tool to facilitate
the study of interactions in such ternary systems. Utilizing atomic
force spectroscopy, we developed a custom dried oil-coated probe which
directly measures the interactions between crude oil and a mineral
substrate in a varying aqueous environment at their natural length
scale. In most of the previous studies, COBR interactions were studied
by using model systems wherein crude oil was represented by organic
acids, for instance, which is a significant simplification of natural
systems that may be unwarranted. In this study, we measured the interaction
forces between mineral surfaces and actual crude oils. The experiments
allow us to systematically test the effect of brine composition on
the forces between mineral surfaces and crude oil components in all
their complexity under realistic reservoir conditions. Our results
illustrate the reproducibility of measurements made using this custom
tool by using multiple probes to show salinity-dependent repulsive
interactions between the oil coating and a mica substrate. These electrostatic
interactions are consistent with trends expected by the Debye–Hückel
theory, showing a decrease in repulsive forces as a function of increasing
monovalent ion concentration. Adherence to this expected trend provides
insight into the COBR interactions in a particular oil reservoir with
particular oil, brine, and mineral compositions. Additionally, the
presence of electrostatic forces suggests that the dried crude oil
coating retains surface charge throughout the drying procedure. Therefore,
this tool has the potential to represent or approximate the electrostatic
interactions of the original liquid crude oil system during the study
of COBR interactions
