Complexation of (trimethylphosphine)gold(I) with Selenones

Mixed ligand complexes of gold(I) with various selenones and Me₃P, [Me₃PAuSe=C<]Cl, have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and n.m.r. methods. A decrease in the i.r. frequency of the >C=Se mode of selenones upon complexation is indicative of selenone binding to gold(I) via a selenone group. An upfield shift in ¹³C-n.m.r. for the >C=Se resonance of selenones and downfield shifts in ³¹P-n.m.r. for Me₃P moiety are consistent with the selenium coordination to gold(I). The steric effect as well as the basicity of Me₃PAu⁺ plays a significant role in bonding with Se-containing ligands compared to the Et₃PAu⁺ and Ph₃PAu⁺ complexes.     

Gold(I) complexes with selenones and triphenylphosphine as ligands

A number of mixed ligand complexes of gold(I) with various selenones and Ph₃P, [Ph₃PAuSe=C<]Cl have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and n.m.r. methods. A decrease in the i.r. frequency of the C=Se mode of selenones upon complexation is indicative of gold(I) binding viaa selenone group. An upfield shift in the ¹³ C-n.m.r. for the C=Se resonance of selenones and downfield shifts in ³¹P-n.m.r. for the Ph₃P moiety are consistent with the selenium coordination to gold(I). Available data in the literature suggest that P–Au–Se type complexes are usually linear.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of Silver(I) Complexes of Selenones

Silver(I) complexes of selenones, [LAgNO₃] and [AgL₂]NO₃ (where L is imidazolidine-2-selenone or diazinane-2-selenone and their derivatives) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁰⁷Ag) spectroscopy. An upfield shift in the C=Se resonance of selenones in ¹³C NMR and a downfield shift in N-H resonance in ¹H NMR are consistent with selenium coordination to silver(I). In ¹⁰⁷Ag NMR, the AgNO₃signal is deshielded by 450-650 ppm on coordination to selenones. Greater upfield shifts in ¹³C NMR were observed for [LAgNO₃] compared to [AgL₂]NO₃complexes, whereas the opposite trend was observed for ¹H and¹⁰⁷Ag NMR chemical shifts.     

Studies on main group metal-transition-metal bonded compounds 7. A 199Hg NMR study of home group of some group VI trasition-metal mercury compounds

A ¹⁹⁹Hg Fourier Tranformation NMR study has been carried out on Hg[M(CO)₃C₅H₅]₂ (M = Cr, Mo, W), [C₅H₅(CO)₃M]HgCl, and [C₅H₅(CO)₃W]HgX (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN). The ¹⁹⁹Hg chemical shifts are ?80, +115 and ?348 ppm respectively for the symmetrical compounds, ?542, ?617, and ?997 ppm for the chloride and ?1200, ?1529 and ?924 ppm for the Br, I, SCN-tungsten derivatives respectively. The ₁₉₉Hg chemical shifts for several other mercury derivatives are reported for comparison. All chemical shifts are relative to 90% HgMe₂/10% internal lock C₆F₆ with positive values indicating decreasing shielding. The J_199Hg-183W values are 151, 706, 690, 630 and 684 Hz for the symmetrical compound and the Cl, Br, I and SCN derivatives respectively. The factors which may influence these parameters are discussed briefley.     

Solid‐state NMR studies of 1,3‐imidazolidine‐2‐selenone and some related compounds

Solid‐state cross‐polarization magic angle spinning ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se and ¹⁵N NMR spectra were recorded for 1,3‐imidazolidine‐2‐selenone, its N‐substituted derivatives and some related compounds. The spinning sideband manifold intensities were used to obtain principal values of ¹³C and ⁷⁷Se chemical shift tensors. Large selenium chemical shift anisotropies were observed for these selenones.

Mixed ligand gold(I) complexes with phosphines and selenourea

A series of mixed ligand Au^I complexes with selenourea (Seu) and various phosphines, [R₃PAuSeu]Cl, have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r. and n.m.r. methods. A decrease in the i.r. frequency of the C=Se mode of Seu upon complexation is indicative of Au^I binding via a selenone group. An upfield shift in the ¹³C-n.m.r. for the C=Se resonance of Seu, and downfield shifts in ³¹P-n.m.r., for the R₃P moiety are consistent with selenium coordination to Au^I.     

An experimental and theoretical investigation on hypervalent organoselenium(II) halides: Case study of [2-(Et2NCH2)C6H4]SeX (X = Cl,Br, I)

Cleavage of the Se–Se bond in [2-(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]₂Se₂ (1) with SO₂Cl₂ (1:1 molar ratio) yielded the organoselenium(II) chloride [2-(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]SeCl (2). Treatment of 2 with excess of KX yielded the organoselenium(II) halides [2-(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]SeX [X = Br (3), I (4)]. The new compounds 2–4 were characterized by solution NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ⁷⁷Se, 2D experiments). The solid-state molecular structures of 2, 2·HCl and 3 were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Distorted T-shaped coordination geometries of type (C,N)SeX (X = Cl, Br) and CSeCl₂ were found for the neutral halides 2 and 3, and the zwitterionic species [2-{Et₂N⁺(H)CH₂}C₆H₄]SeCl₂￣ (2·HCl), respectively. DFT calculations were performed on 2–4 and the related tellurium compounds [2-(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]TeX [X = Cl (5), Br (6) and I (7)] in order to elucidate the bond nature and FT-Raman features of this class of organochalcogen(II) derivatives.     

Gold(I) Complexation with Trialkyl/Triaryl Phosphine Selenide Ligands

Abstract

A number of phosphine selenide ligands and their gold(I) complexes of general formula R₃P?Se?Au?X (where X is Cl^?, Br^? and CN^? and R = phenyl, cyclohexyl and tolyl) were prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and ³¹P NMR spectroscopic methods. In the IR spectra of all complexes a decrease in frequency of P?Se bond upon coordination was observed, indicating a decrease in P?Se bond order. ³¹P NMR showed that the electronegativity of the substituents is the most important factor determining the ³¹P NMR chemical shift. It was observed that phosphorus resonance is more downfield in alkyl substituted phosphine selenides, as compared to the aryl substituted ones. Ligand disproportionation in the complex Cy₃P?SeAuCN in solution to form [Au(CN)₂]^? and [(Cy₃P?Se)₂Au]⁺ was investigated by ¹³C and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopy.     

Complexation of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) with thiourea and selenourea: A 1H, 13C, 15N, 77Se and 113Cd solution and solid-state NMR study

Zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of thiourea (TU) and selenourea (SeU) of general formula M(TU)₂Cl₂ or M(SeU)₂Cl₂ have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ⁷⁷Se and ¹¹³Cd) spectroscopy. A low-frequency shift of the C=S resonance of thiones in ¹³C NMR and high-frequency shifts of N–H resonances in ¹H and ¹⁵N NMR are consistent with sulfur or selenium coordination to the metal ions. The Se nucleus in Cd(SeU)₂Cl₂ in ⁷⁷Se NMR is deshielded by 87?ppm on coordination, relative to the free ligand. In comparison, the analogous Zn(II) and Hg(II) complexes show deshielding by 33 and 50?ppm, respectively, indicating that the orbital overlap of Se with Cd is better. Principal components of ⁷⁷Se and ¹¹³Cd shielding tensors were determined from solid-state NMR data.     

1H-NMR Spectroscopy of Gold Drugs. High-Resolution Studies of β-D-Thioglucosetetraacetate Phosphine Complexes of Au(I)

¹H-NMR data (11.74 Tesla) for the gold(I) complexes [R₃P-Au-(2,3,4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-D -glucopyranosido-S)] (R = Et, Cyclohexyl, C₆H₅, p-CH₃OC₆H₄) with sulfur coordination to gold, are reported. The resonances associated with the sugar protons have been assigned although these have similar chemical environments. The coordination chemical shifts, Δδ, for the Au? S? C? H proton are ≈? 0.6 ppm, and support S-coordination to gold.     

A new amino alcohol NpyNimineNamineOalcohol-donor ligand: coordination toward zinc(II) and cadmium(II) halides and enantioselective products

In the present work a new ligand, 2-(2-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methyleneamino)ethylamino)ethanol (L), and its Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes, [Zn(L)Br₂] (1), [Cd(L)Br₂] (2) and [Cd(L)I₂] (3), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman and ¹H NMR spectroscopies as well as X-ray crystallography. All complexes are isostructural and their metal ions have distorted square pyramidal geometry with an MN₃X₂ (X: Br, I) environment. During the complexation process, the amine group of the ligand becomes a chiral center. In the solid-state, an R-configuration was observed in all three complexes. Furthermore, the molecules form intermolecular C–H?O, C–H?X and O–H?X (X: Br, I) hydrogen bonds in the solid-state.     

Halogen effect on structure and 13C NMR chemical shift of 3,6‐disubstituted‐N‐alkyl carbazoles

Structures of selected 3,6‐dihalogeno‐N‐alkyl carbazole derivatives were calculated at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,2pd) level of theory, and their ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) isotropic shieldings were predicted using density functional theory (DFT). The model compounds contained 9H, N‐methyl and N‐ethyl derivatives. The relativistic effect of Br and I atoms on nuclear shieldings was modeled using the spin–orbit zeroth‐order regular approximation (ZORA) method. Significant heavy atom shielding effects for the carbon atom directly bonded with Br and I were observed (~?10 and ~?30 ppm while the other carbon shifts were practically unaffected). The decreasing electronegativity of the halogen substituent (F, Cl, Br, and I) was reflected in both nonrelativistic and relativistic NMR results as decreased values of chemical shifts of carbon atoms attached to halogen (C3 and C6) leading to a strong sensitivity to halogen atom type at 3 and 6 positions of the carbazole ring. The predicted NMR data correctly reproduce the available experimental data for unsubstituted N‐alkylcarbazoles. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Anionic Gold(I) Complexes—Twelve‐ and Ten‐Vertex Monocarba‐closo‐borate Anions with Carbon–Gold σ Bonds

The anionic gold(I) complexes [1‐(Ph₃PAu)‐closo‐1‐CB₁₁H₁₁]^? ( 1 ), [1‐(Ph₃PAu)‐closo‐1‐CB₉H₉]^? ( 2 ), and [2‐(Ph₃PAu)‐closo‐2‐CB₉H₉]^? ( 3 ) with gold–carbon 2c–2e σ bonds have been prepared from [AuCl(PPh₃)] and the respective carba‐closo‐borate dianion. The anions have been isolated as their Cs⁺ salts and the corresponding [Et₄N]⁺ salts were obtained by salt metathesis reactions. The salt Cs‐ 3 isomerizes in the solid state and in solution at elevated temperatures to Cs‐ 2 with ΔH_iso=(?75±5) kJ mol^?1 (solid state) and ΔH^≠=(118±10) kJ mol^?1 (solution). The compounds were characterized by vibrational and multi‐NMR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The crystal structures of [Et₄N]‐ 1 , [Et₄N]‐ 2 , and [Et₄N]‐ 3 were determined. The bonding parameters, NMR chemical shifts, and the isomerization enthalpy of Cs‐ 3 to Cs‐ 2 are compared to theoretical data.     

The first coordination complexes of selenones: a structural comparison with complexes of sulfones

Reactivity of the two classes of very weak donors R(2)XO(2) (X = S, R = Me (1) and Ph (2); X = Se, R = Me (3) and Ph (4)) have been studied. Coordination properties of sulfones and selenones in solution and in the gas phase have been compared for the first time using a model bidentate metal complex, [Rh(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)]. Two coordination modes, bridging mu(2)-O,O' and terminal eta(1)-O, have been detected. These types of binding were realized in two series of sulfone and selenone metal complexes, polymeric mono-adducts [Rh(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4).(R(2)XO(2))]( infinity ) (X = S, R = Me (1a); R = Ph (2a); X = Se, R = Ph (4a)) and discrete bis-adducts [Rh(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4).(R(2)XO(2))(2)] (X = S, R = Ph (2b); X = Se, R = Me (3b)). The compositions and structures of new compounds have been confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, chemical analyses, and X-ray diffraction studies. Compounds 3b and 4a are the first crystallographically characterized metal complexes having selenone ligands coordinated to the metal centers. Preparation and X-ray study of analogous metal complexes of sulfone and selenone ligands allow, for the first time, tracking the structural changes induced by metal coordination. In addition, the X-ray structure of dimethyl selenone, Me(2)SeO(2) (3), an analogue of Me(2)SO(2), has been determined. Geometries of coordinated sulfone and selenones ligands have been compared with those of the corresponding "free" molecules.     

C?X⋅⋅⋅O Halogen Bonding: Interactions of Trifluoromethyl Halides with Dimethyl Ether

The formation of weakly bound molecular complexes between dimethyl ether (DME) and the trifluoromethyl halides CF₃Cl, CF₃Br and CF₃I dissolved in liquid argon and in liquid krypton is investigated, using Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. For all halides evidence is found for the formation of C? X???O halogen‐bonded 1:1 complexes. At higher concentrations of CF₃Br, a weak absorption due to a 1:2 complex is also observed. Using spectra recorded at temperatures between 87 and 125 K, the complexation enthalpies for the complexes are determined to be ?6.8(3) kJ mol^?1 (DME?CF₃Cl), ?10.2(1) kJ mol^?1 (DME?CF₃Br), ?15.5(1) kJ mol^?1 (DME?CF₃I), and ?17.8(5) kJ mol^?1 [DME(?CF₃Br)₂]. Structural and spectral information on the complexes is obtained from ab initio calculations at the MP2/ 6‐311++G(d,p) and MP2/6‐311++G(d,p)+LanL2DZ* levels. By applying Monte Carlo free energy perturbation calculations to account for the solvent influences, and statistical thermodynamics to estimate the zero‐point vibrational and thermal influences, the ab initio complexation energies are converted into complexation enthalpies for the solutions in liquid argon. The resulting values are compared with the experimental data deduced from the cryosolutions.     

Darstellung und schwingungsspektroskopische Untersuchung von [H3B?Se?Se?BH3]2− und [H3B-μ2-Se(B2H5)]− Kristallstruktur und theoretische Untersuchung der Molekülstruktur von [H3B-μ2-Se(B2H5)]−

Synthesis and Vibrational Spectroscopic Investigation of [H₃B? Se? Se? BH₃]^2? and [H₃B-μ₂-Se(B₂H₅)]^? Crystal Structure and Theoretical Investigation of the Molecular Structure of [H₃B-μ₂-Se(B₂H₅)]^? M₂[H₃B? Se? Se? BH₃] 1 is produced by the reaction between elemental selenium and MBH₄ (1 : 1) in triglyme (diglyme), under dehydrogenation. 1 reacts with an excess of B₂H₆ to give M[H₃B-μ₂-Se(B₂H₅)] 2 which is also formed in the reaction of THF · BH₃ with 1 . These reactions proceed under cleavage of the Se? Se bond and hydrogen evolution. [(C₆H₅)₄]Br reacts with Na · 2 to form [(C₆H₅)₄P] · 2 which crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I4 (Nr. 82). An X-ray structure determination failed because of disordering of the cation and anion. ¹¹B, ⁷⁷Se NMR shifts and ¹J(¹¹B¹H) coupling constants as well as IR- and Raman spectroscopic investigations convey further structural information. Structural data of 2 have been calculated by SCF methods. The anion of 2 may be viewed either as an adduct of Se with B₃H₈^?, or as a bridge substituted selena derivative of B₂H₆.     

THIURAMDISELENIDES

Abstract

The oxidation products of thioseleno-carbamate ions R₂NCSSe^? are, in contrast with the homologous selenuramdiselenides, stable red, highly crystalline diselenides (R₂N = Et₂N, morpholyl, pyrrolidyl, Bz₂N) or yellow (cyclohexyl₂N). The ⁷⁷Se NMR spectra show one signal with chemical shifts between 1060 and 1125 ppm (referenced to Ph₃PSe). The x-ray structures of the tetraethyl (I) and tetracyclohexyl (II) compounds show unexpected differences. Whereas (I) contains an inversion center bisecting a planar NC(S)Se-Se(S)CN unit, we found for (II) a dihedral angle of 80.4 between two very different cyclohexyl₂ halves: S(1)-C(1)-Se(1) = 103.0° and S(2)-C(2)-Se(2) = 119.1°, respectively.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung von bindungsisomeren Halogenoselenocyanato-Osmaten(IV) und -Rhenaten(IV)

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Bond Isomeric Halogenoselenocyanato-Osmates(IV) and -Rhenates(IV) By oxidative ligand exchange of appropriate chloro-iodo complexes of Os^IV or Re^IV with (SeCN)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ or by heterogeneous reaction with Pb(SeCN)₂ or AgSeCN in CH₂Cl₂ the new complexes cis-[OsCl₄(NCSe)(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄Br(NCSe)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄Br(SeCN)]^2?, [ReCl₅(NCSe)]^2?, [ReCl₅(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[ReCl₄I(NCSe)]^2?, tr.?[ReCl₄(NCSe)(SeCN)]^2? and tr.?[ReCl₄(NCSe)₂]^2? are formed and isolated as pure compounds by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The bond isomers are significantly distinguished by the frequencies of innerligand vibrations: n?_CN(Se) > n?_CN(N); n?_CSe(N) > n?_CSe(Se); δ_NCSe > δ_SeCN. The electronic spectra (10 K) of the solid salts reveal a bathochromic shift for the charge transfer bands of the Se isomers as compared with the corresponding N isomers. The intra-configurational transitions are observed for the Os^IV complexes at 600 to 2400 and for the Re^IV complexes at 500 to 1600 nm. The ⁷⁷Se nmr signals of the Os^IV bond isomers are registrated for Se binding in the region 970 to 1040 ppm, for N coordination downfield at 1540 to 1640 ppm.     

(Phosphine)gold(I) Complexes of Benzenedithioles. Crystal structures of 1,2-benzenedithiolato-bis[triphenyl-phosphinegold(I)] and bis(triethylphosphine)gold(I) bis(1,2-benzenedithiolato)gold(III)

The reaction of 1,2- and 1,3-benzenedithiol C₆H₄(SH)₂ with chloro(phosphine)gold(I) complexes R₃PAuCl (R = Et, Ph) in the presence of triethylamine in tetrahydrofuran gives stable gold(I) complexes 1,2-C₆H₄(SAuPR₃)₂ [R = Et ( 1 ) and Ph ( 2 )] or 1,3-C₆H₄(SAuPPh₃)₂ ( 3 ), respectively, in high yield. The compounds have been characterized by analytical and NMR spectroscopic data. From the reaction of 1,2-C₆H(SH)₂ with Et₃P? AuCl a by-product [(Et₃P)₂Au]⁺ [Au(1,2? C₆H₄S₂)₂]^? ( 4 ) has also been isolated in low yield. The crystal structures of compounds 2 and 4 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The gold(I) atoms in complex 2 are two-coordinate with bond angles S? Au? P of 175.2(1) and 159.5(1)°, Au? S bond distances of 2.304(1) and 2.321(1) å, and a short Au…?Au contact of 3.145(1) Å. The gold(I) atom in the cation of complex 4 is also linearly two-coordinate with a P? Au? P angle of 170.1(1) Å and Au? P distances of 2.296(3) and 2.298(3) Å. The geometry of the anion in 4 shows a square-planar coordination of gold(III) by two chelating 1,2-benzenedithiolate ligands with Au? S distances between 2.299(3) and 2.312(3) Å (for two crystallographically independent, centrosymmetrical anions in the unit cell).     

Synthesis,characterization and in vitro cytotoxicity of platinum(II) complexes of selenones [Pt(selenone)2Cl2]

Platinum(II) complexes with various selenones (L) having the general formula [PtL₂Cl₂] were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ⁷⁷Se) spectroscopies. A decrease in the IR frequency of the >C=Se mode and an upfield shift in ¹³C NMR for the >C=Se resonance of selenones are consistent with their selenium coordination to platinum(II). The NMR data show that the complexes are stable in solution and do not undergo equilibration at 297 K. The geometrical structures of the complexes were predicted theoretically (with DFT method) using Gaussian09 program. DFT calculations predicted that the trans configurations were up to 1.7 kcal/mol more stable than the cis forms in gas phase, while in solution form the cis isomers were predicted to be more stable. The UV–vis spectra of the two complexes, 6 and 7 were also recorded at room temperature for 24 h and it was observed that the complexes were stable and did not undergo decomposition. The in vitro antitumor properties of the complexes as well as of cisplatin were evaluated on two human cancer cell lines, HeLa (cervical cancer cells) and MCF7 (breast cancer cells) using MTT assay. The results indicated that the prepared complexes exerted significant inhibition on the selected cancer cells.
