Disease relevance of Ethylenetetracarbonitrile

• The torsion barrier of tetracyanoethylene has been investigated through the state energy calculation at different conformations [1].

High impact information on Ethylenetetracarbonitrile

• Resolution of the non-steady-state kinetics of the two-step mechanism for the Diels-Alder reaction between anthracene and tetracyanoethylene in acetonitrile [2].
• Quantum mechanical calculations and X-ray crystallographic studies of this ensemble of reactions by BTF, and the analogous set of reactions by its progenitor, tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), reveal several interesting facets [3].
• Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and structural evidence for the mild hydrolysis of tetracyanoethylene, TCNE, to form the 2,3,3-tricyanoacrylamidate ligand: isolation of an unexpected quadruply-bonded polymeric material [Mo2(O2CCMe3)3((NC)2CC(CN)CONH)]infinity [4].
• Free radical formation in reactions of lecithin with tetracyanoquinodimethane and tetracyanoethylene: relating the behavior of membrane-partitioned electrochemical cells to charge carrier using electron spin resonance [5].
• Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) will undergo hydrolysis via a radical intermediate, and the decomposition product is ESR silent [5].

Associations of Ethylenetetracarbonitrile with other chemical compounds

• The rates of complex formation of free tryptophan and hen egg-white lysozyme with tetracyanoethylene have been investigated at different molar ratios [6].
• The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of different substituted methylnaphthalenes charge transfer (CT) complexes with tetracyanoethylene have been studied in carbon tetrachloride [7].
• The charge-transfer (CT) interaction of the electron donor phenacetin (phen) and the pi-electron acceptor tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) has been studied in CH(2)Cl(2) [8].
• FeCl2 reacts with TCNE in MeCN to form [Fe II{C4(CN)8}(NCMe)2] (4), which is composed of layers of octahedral Fe II ions equatorially bonded to the four terminal N atoms of the mu4-[C4(CN)8]2- ion, with trans-MeCN groups and with 15-membered rings [9].

Gene context of Ethylenetetracarbonitrile

• Finally, an explanation is offered for the preference of the persubstituted cyanoolefins BTF and TCNE to add to the exocyclic diene portion of 1-isopropenyl-1,3-cyclopentadiene and the contrasting preference of 2-acetyloxy-2-propenenitrile to add to the endocyclic diene [3].
