Platinum(II)-bis(9-methyladenine) complexes; N1-->N6 migration of Pt(II)vs deamination of coordinated methyladenine

Stepwise migration of coordinated Pt(II) from the endocyclic N1 site to the exocyclic amino group occurs in the bis(9-methyladenine-N1) complex of cis-Pt(II)(NH(3))(2) in basic solution, whereafter deamination of the 9-methyladenine still coordinated at N-1 competes with a second migration step.     

Organoplatinum(II) complexes containing chelating or bridging bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands: formation of a platinum(II) carbonate complex by aerial CO2 fixation

The preparation of two new bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) platinum(II) complexes, in which NHC rings are joined by a CH(2) linker group, is described. While, the chelate complex [PtMe(2)(bis-NHC1)], 1, was formed with large tert-butyl wingtips, the iso-propyl N-substituent analogue favors formation of the cluster complex [Pt(2)Me(4)(μ-SMe(2))(μ-bis-NHC2)](2)(μ-Ag(2)Br(2)), 2, in which two binuclear platinum(II) complexes are linked together by an Ag(2)Br(2) unit. The chelating platinum complex 1 undergoes aerial CO(2) fixation and forms platinum(II) carbonate complex [Pt(CO(3))(bis-NHC1)], 3.     

PLATINUM(II) COMPLEX CONTAINING N-(BIS (-2,4-DIMETHOXY-BENZYL)CARBAMOTHIOYL)- 4-METHYLBENZAMIDE LIGAND: SYNTHESIS,CRYSTAL STRUCTURE,HIRSHFELD SURFACE ANALYSIS,AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY

Journal of Structural Chemistry - A new complex of Pt(II) bearing N-(bis(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)carbamothioyl)-4-methylbenzamide ligand is prepared and characterized by 1H, 13C, HMQC, COSY NMR and...     

Reversibly reducible cis-dichloroplatinum(II) and cis-dichloropalladium(II) complexes of bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)glyoxal

Complexes cis-MCl2(big), big=bis(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)glyoxal, M=Pt, Pd, were prepared and characterized through electrochemistry, spectroscopy, and for M=Pt, by X-ray structure analysis. The seven-membered chelate ring formed through N,N' coordination of the ligand big shows a boat conformation in agreement with density functional theory (DFT) calculation results. No significant intermolecular interactions were observed for the platinum compound. Both the PdII and PtII complexes undergo reversible one-electron reduction in CH2Cl2/ 0.1 M Bu4NPF6; the reduced palladium compound disintegrates above -30 degrees C. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), UV-vis, and IR spectroelectrochemistry studies were employed to study the monoanions. The anion radical complex [cis-PtCl2(big)]*- exhibits a well-resolved EPR spectrum with small but well-detectable g anisotropy and an isotropic 195Pt hyperfine coupling of 12.2 G. DFT calculations confirm the spin concentration in the alpha-semidione part of the radical complex with small delocalization to the bis(imidazolyl)metal section. The results show that EPR and electroactive moieties can be linked to the cis-dichloroplatinum(II) group via imidazole coordination.     

High-efficiency red electrophosphorescence based on neutral bis(pyrrole)-diimine platinum(II) complex

Efficient red electroluminescence from the excimer or oligomer of neutral phosphorescent bis(pyrrole)-diimine Pt(II) complex has been achieved with maximum external quantum efficiency, luminous efficiency, power efficiency and brightness of 6.5%, 9.0 cd A(-1), 4.0 lm W(-1) and 11 100 cd m(-2), respectively.     

Diastereoselective assembling of 21-C-alkylated nickel(II) complexes of inverted porphyrin on a platinum(II) template

Reaction of 21-C-methyl and 21-C-benzyl nickel(II) complexes of inverted meso-tetratolylporphyrin with platinum(II) dichloride or its bis(benzonitrile) complex yields a chloroplatinum(II) species containing two nickel(II) carbaporphyrinoids in a cis arrangement. One of the carbaporphyrinoids coordinates to the platinum ion with the external nitrogen while the other is bound with the external nitrogen and one ortho-carbon of the adjacent meso-aryl ring. The reaction is highly chemoselective. (1)H and (13)C NMR experiments in solution show the diastereoselectivity of the reaction. Single-crystal X-ray data confirm the presence of the diastereomer with opposite configurations of the Ni(II)-coordinated carbons in the subunits of the dimer. Cyclovoltammetric measurements reveal an anodic shift of the nickel(II) oxidation potentials of dimers with respect to those of the parent monomers and two different reduction couples. Reaction of unsubstituted inverted porphyrin with Pt(PhCN)(2)Cl(2) in chlorobenzene yields a monomeric platinum(II) complex of inverted porphyrin. This complex displays a markedly upfield (195)Pt NMR shift compared to tetraphenylporphyrinatoplatinum(II). Under strongly basic conditions deprotonation of the external nitrogen of inverted porphyrin and both electrochemical and chemical oxidation of platinum(II) center are observed.     

Synthesis and optoelectronic properties of a heterobimetallic Pt(II)-Ir(III) complex used as a single-component emitter in white PLEDs

To tune aggregation/excimer emission and obtain a single active emitter for white polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs), a heterobimetallic Pt(II)-Ir(III) complex of FIr(pic)-C(6)DBC(6)-(pic)PtF was designed and synthesized, in which C(6)DBC(6) is a di(phenyloxyhexyloxy) bridging group, FIr(pic) is an iridium(III) bis[(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C(2)'] (picolinate) chromophore and FPt(pic) is a platinum(II) [(4,6-difluorophenyl)pyridinato-N,C(2)'] (picolinate) chromophore. Its physical and opto-electronic properties were investigated. Interestingly, the excimer emission was efficiently controlled by this heterobimetallic Pt(II)-Ir(III) complex compared to the PL profile of the mononuclear FPt(pic) complex in the solid state. Near-white emissions were obtained in the single emissive layer (SEL) PLEDs using this heterobimetallic Pt(II)-Ir(III) complex as a single dopant and poly(vinylcarbazole) as a host matrix at dopant concentrations from 0.5 wt% to 2 wt%. This work indicates that incorporating a non-planar iridium(III) complex into the planar platinum(II) complex can control aggregation/excimer emissions and a single phosphorescent emitter can be obtained to exhibit white emission in SEL devices.     

A metal-directed self-assembled electroactive cage with bis(pyrrolo)tetrathiafulvalene (BPTTF) side walls

A straightforward synthesis of a bis(pyrrolo)tetrathiafulvalene (BPTTF)-based tetratopic ligand bearing four pyridyl units is described. The first example of a TTF-based self-assembled cage has been produced from this redox-active ligand through metal-directed synthesis with a cis-coordinated square-planar Pt(II) complex. The resulting cage corresponds to a trigonal-prismatic structure, as shown by X-ray crystallography. A UV-vis titration indicated that the electron-rich cavity can be used to incorporate one molecule of tetrafluorotetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQF(4)).     

Trinuclear platinum(II) 4,6-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridyl complex with bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine auxiliary ligand: synthesis, structural characterization, and photophysics

A trinuclear cyclometalated Pt(II) 4,6-diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridyl complex with bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine bridging ligand ([4-Ph(C--N--N)Pt](3)dpmp) has been synthesized and characterized. It exhibits a broad electronic absorption band from 400 to 600 nm because of its intramolecular Pt...Pt interactions that have been revealed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. This complex shows strong red emission in acetonitrile at room temperature and 77 K. The electronic and emission spectra exhibit concentration and temperature dependence. With increased concentrations, the UV band of the absorption spectrum gradually decreases and broadens, accompanied by an increase of the (1)[dsigma*,pi*] band between 400 and 600 nm. For emission spectra, the 550 nm band that originates from the mononuclear platinum(II) component gradually decreases with increased concentrations, while the band at approximately 700 nm that corresponds to the (3)[dsigma*,pi*] state increases. In addition, the UV-vis and emission spectra exhibit temperature and viscosity-dependence. The concentration-, temperature-, and viscosity-dependent characteristics indicate a conformational change of the complex arising from the rotation along the oligophosphine axis. This complex exhibits broad, positive, and strong transient difference absorption bands from the near-UV to near-IR spectral region. However, because of the increased ground-state absorption in the visible region, the nonlinear transmission of this trinuclear platinum complex decreases.     

Synthesis, characterization and coordination properties of bis(alkyl)selenosalen ligands

New bis (alkyl) selenosalen podand ligands having Se2N2 donor sites have been synthesized by the condensation of unsymmetrical o-formylphenyl alkyl selenide (1-3) with ethylenediamine. The reaction of bis(alkyl)selenosalen podands with Pd(II) and Pt(II) afforded selenoether-selenolate coordination complexes 7-10via cleavage of one of the two Se-C(alkyl) bonds of bis(alkyl)selenosalen podands upon complexation. DFT calculations revealed that the cleavage of Se-C(alkyl) bonds occurred possibly via S(N)2 mechanism instead of a sequence of oxidative addition and reductive elimination reactions. The spectral data and elemental analyses confirmed the formation of selenoether-selenolate complexes. The structures of the podands N,N'-bis[(2-methylseleno)phenylmethylene]-1,2-ethanediamine (4), N,N'-bis[(2-decylseleno)phenylmethylene]-1,2-ethanediamine (5) and the selenoether-selenolate complex 8 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystal structure of 5 showed SeH interaction with a ladder like 3D supramolecular arrangement via interdigitation of long alkyl chains. Comparison of crystal packing of podands 4 and 5 indicates that the alkyl chain length has significant impact on the crystal packing. The platinum selenolate complex 8 shows a square planar arrangement around the Pt centre, where the Se atoms in the selenolate and the selenoether have nearly equal Pt-Se bond length.     

Platinum complexes of oxopurines: cis‐bis(theophyllinato‐N7)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) and cis‐chloro(theobrominato‐N1)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate

The syntheses and structures of two mixed‐ligand complexes of platinum(II) with deprotonated oxopurine bases and tri­phenyl­phosphine are reported, namely the theophyllinate complex cis‐bis(1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro‐1,3‐di­methyl­purine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN⁷)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II), [Pt(C₇H₇N₄O₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], (I), and the theobrominate complex cis‐chloro(1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐3,7‐dimethylpurine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN¹)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate, [PtCl(C₇H₇N₄O₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.5C₂H₅OH, (II). In (I), the coordination geometry of Pt is square planar, formed by the two coordinating N atoms of the theophyl­linate anions in a cis arrangement and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. In (II), there are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. They both exhibit a square‐planar coordination geometry around Pt involving one Cl atom, the coordinating N atom of the theobrominate anion and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. The two tri­phenyl­phosphine groups are arranged in a cis configuration in both structures. The heterocyclic rings are rotated with respect to the coordination plane of the metal by 82.99 (8) and 88.09 (8)° in complex (I), and by 85.91 (16) and 88.14 (18)° in complex (II). Both structures are stabilized by intramolecular stacking interactions involving the purine rings and the phenyl rings of adjacent tri­phenyl­phosphine moieties.     

An Antitumor Bis(N‐Heterocyclic Carbene)Platinum(II) Complex That Engages Asparagine Synthetase as an Anticancer Target

New anticancer platinum(II) compounds with distinctive modes of action are appealing alternatives to combat the drug resistance and improve the efficacy of clinically used platinum chemotherapy. Herein, we describe a rare example of an antitumor Pt^II complex targeting a tumor‐associated protein, rather than DNA, under cellular conditions. Complex [(bis‐NHC)Pt(bt)]PF₆ ( 1 a ; Hbt=1‐(3‐hydroxybenzo[b]thiophen‐2‐yl)ethanone) overcomes cisplatin resistance in cancer cells and displays significant tumor growth inhibition in mice with higher tolerable doses compared to cisplatin. The cellular Pt species shows little association with DNA, and localizes in the cytoplasm as revealed by nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry. An unbiased thermal proteome profiling experiment identified asparagine synthetase (ASNS) as a molecular target of 1 a . Accordingly, 1 a treatment reduced the cellular asparagine levels and inhibited cancer cell proliferation, which could be reversed by asparagine supplementation. A bis‐NHC‐ligated Pt species generated from the hydrolysis of 1 a forms adducts with thiols and appears to target an active‐site cysteine of ASNS.     

Importance of platinum(II)-assisted platinum(IV) substitution for the oxidation of guanosine derivatives by platinum(IV) complexes

Guanosine derivatives with a nucleophilic group at the 5' position (G-5') are oxidized by the Pt (IV) complex Pt( d, l)(1,2-(NH 2) 2C 6H 10)Cl 4 ([Pt (IV)(dach)Cl 4]). The overall redox reaction is autocatalytic, consisting of the Pt (II)-catalyzed Pt (IV) substitution and two-electron transfer between Pt (IV) and the bound G-5'. In this paper, we extend the study to improve understanding of the redox reaction, particularly the substitution step. The [Pt (II)(NH 3) 2(CBDCA-O,O')] (CBDCA = cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate) complex effectively accelerates the reactions of [Pt (IV)(dach)Cl 4] with 5'-dGMP and with cGMP, indicating that the Pt (II) complex does not need to be a Pt (IV) analogue to accelerate the substitution. Liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) analysis showed that the [Pt (IV)(dach)Cl 4]/[Pt (II)(NH 3) 2(CBDCA-O,O')]/cGMP reaction mixture contained two Pt (IV)cGMP adducts, [Pt (IV)(NH 3) 2(cGMP)(Cl)(CBDCA-O,O')] and [Pt (IV)(dach)(cGMP)Cl 3]. The LC/MS studies also indicated that the trans, cis-[Pt (IV)(dach)( (37)Cl) 2( (35)Cl) 2]/[Pt (II)(en)( (35)Cl) 2]/9-EtG mixture contained two Pt (IV)-9-EtG adducts, [Pt (IV)(en)(9-EtG)( (37)Cl)( (35)Cl) 2] and [Pt (IV)(dach)(9-EtG)( (37)Cl)( (35)Cl) 2]. These Pt (IV)G products are predicted by the Basolo-Pearson (BP) Pt (II)-catalyzed Pt (IV)-substitution scheme. The substitution can be envisioned as an oxidative addition reaction of the planar Pt (II) complex where the entering ligand G and the chloro ligand from the axial position of the Pt (IV) complex are added to Pt (II) in the axial positions. From the point of view of reactant Pt (IV), an axial chloro ligand is thought to be substituted by the entering ligand G. The Pt (IV) complexes without halo axial ligands such as trans, cis-[Pt(en)(OH) 2Cl 2], trans, cis-[Pt(en)(OCOCF 3) 2Cl 2], and cis, trans, cis-[Pt(NH 3)(C 6H 11NH 2)(OCOCH 3) 2Cl 2] ([Pt (IV)(a,cha)(OCOCH 3) 2Cl 2], satraplatin) did not react with 5'-dGMP. The bromo complex, [Pt (IV)(en)Br 4], showed a significantly faster substitution rate than the chloro complexes, [Pt (IV)(en)Cl 4] and [Pt (IV)(dach)Cl 4]. The results indicate that the axial halo ligands are essential for substitution and the Pt (IV) complexes with larger axial halo ligands have faster rates. When the Pt (IV) complexes with different carrier ligands were compared, the substitution rates increased in the order [Pt (IV)(dach)Cl 4] < [Pt (IV)(en)Cl 4] < [Pt (IV)(NH 3) 2Cl 4], which is in reverse order to the carrier ligand size. These axial and carrier ligand effects on the substitution rates are consistent with the BP mechanism. Larger axial halo ligands can form a better bridging ligand, which facilitates the electron-transfer process from the Pt (II) to Pt (IV) center. Smaller carrier ligands exert less steric hindrance for the bridge formation.     

The Role of an Alkyl–Phenyl Spacer on the Reactivity of Novel Platinum(II) Complexes with Thiourea Nucleophiles

The presented work, submitted as a paper, deals with the substitution reactions of mononuclear and dinuclear platinum(II) complexes of di‐2‐pyridylaminodiaquaplatinum(II), ( Pt1 ); di‐2‐pyridylaminomethylbenzenediaquaplatinum(II), ( Pt2 ); 1,2‐bis(di‐2‐pyridylaminomethyl)benzenetetraquaplatinum(II), ( Pt3 ); 1,3‐bis(di‐2‐pyridylamino‐methyl)benzenetetraquaplatinum(II), ( Pt4 ); and 1,4‐bis(di‐2‐pyridylaminomethyl)‐benzenetetraquaplatinum(II), ( Pt5 ). These reactions were carried out on aqua complexes by three nucleophiles, viz., thiourea, N ,N ′‐dimethylthiourea, and N ,N ,N ′N ′‐tetramethylthiourea under pseudo–first‐order conditions as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature by stopped‐flow and UV–visible spectrophotometric techniques. In addition, some DFT calculation was performed. The activation parameters support an associative substitution mechanism.     

Thermal and photo control of the linkage isomerism of bis(thiocyanato)(2,2'-bipyridine)platinum(II)

Three linkage isomers, bis(thiocyanato-S)(2,2'-bipyridine)platinum(II) ([Pt(SCN)(2)(bpy)]), (thiocyanato-S)(thiocyanato-N)(2,2'-bipyridine)platinum(II) ([Pt(SCN)(NCS)(bpy)]), and bis(thiocyanato-N)(2,2'-bipyridine)platinum(II) ([Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)]) were isolated, and their structures were elucidated. The crystal data are as follows: for [Pt(SCN)(2)(bpy)], C(12)H(8)N(4)S(2)Pt, orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1) (No. 19), a = 12.929(9) A, b = 18.67(1) A, c = 5.497(4) A, Z = 4; for [Pt(SCN)(NCS)(bpy)], C(12)H(8)N(4)S(2)Pt, monoclinic, P2(1)/n (No. 14), a = 10.909(7) A, b = 7.622(4) A, c = 16.02(1) A, beta = 102.323(7) degrees, Z = 4; for [Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)], C(12)H(8)N(4)S(2)Pt, orthorhombic, Pbcm (No. 57), a = 10.3233(8) A, b = 19.973(2) A, c = 6.4540(5) A, Z = 4. The stacking structures of the isomers were found to be different depending on the coordination geometries based on the N- and S-coordination of the thiocyanato ligands, which control the color and luminescence of the crystals sensitively. The isomerization behaviors of the complex have been investigated both in solution and in the solid state. In solution, stepwise thermal isomerization from [Pt(SCN)(2)(bpy)] to [Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)] by way of [Pt(SCN)(NCS)(bpy)] was observed using (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Reverse isomerization, from [Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)] to [Pt(SCN)(NCS)(bpy)] and [Pt(SCN)(2)(bpy)], occurred when irradiated with near ultraviolet (UV) light. In contrast, the [Pt(SCN)(2)(bpy)] yellow crystals exhibited thermal isomerization directly to red crystals of [Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)], as detected by changes in the emission spectrum, which indicates that the flip of two SCN(-) ligands correlatively occurred in the solid state. The yellow crystals of [Pt(SCN)(NCS)(bpy)] were also converted to the thermodynamically stable red crystal of [Pt(NCS)(2)(bpy)] though the reverse isomerization has never been observed to occur by photoirradiation in the solid state.     

Precipitation of bis(1,2-cyclohexanedionedioximato)palladium(II) from homogeneous solution

The reaction between hydroxylamine and cyclohexanedione in the presence of palladium ions has been made the basis of the precipitation of bis(1,2-cyclohexanedionedioximato)palladium(II) from homogeneous solution. The procedure provides a means of separating palladium from Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Pt(IV), and is a simple, rapid and accurate method for determining palladium.     

Blue electrophosphorescent organoplatinum(II) complexes with dianionic tetradentate bis(carbene) ligands

Robust charge-neutral Pt(II) complexes containing dianionic tetradentate bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands exhibit intense blue phosphorescence in fluid solutions and in polymer films, and have been vacuum-deposited as a phosphorescent dopant in organic blue-light-emitting diodes.     

Acetate-Bridged Platinum(III) Complexes Derived from Cisplatin

Oxidation of the acetate-bridged half-lantern platinum(II) complex cis-[Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)(μ-OAc)(2)Pt(II)(NH(3))(2)](NO(3))(2), [1](NO(3))(2), with iodobenzene dichloride or bromine generates the halide-capped platinum(III) species cis-[XPt(III)(NH(3))(2)(μ-OAc)(2)Pt(III)(NH(3))(2)X](NO(3))(2), where X is Cl in [2](NO(3))(2) or Br in [3](NO(3))(2), respectively. These three complexes, characterized structurally by X-ray crystallography, feature short (≈2.6 ?) Pt-Pt separations, consistent with formation of a formal metal-metal bond upon oxidation. Elongated axial Pt-X distances occur, reflecting the strong trans influence of the metal-metal bond. The three structures are compared to those of other known dinuclear platinum complexes. A combination of (1)H, (13)C, (14)N, and (195)Pt NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize [1](2+)-[3](2+) in solution. All resonances shift downfield upon oxidation of [1](2+) to [2](2+) and [3](2+). For the platinum(III) complexes, the (14)N and (195)Pt resonances exhibit decreased line widths by comparison to those of [1](2+). Density functional theory calculations suggest that the decrease in the (14)N line width arises from a diminished electric field gradient at the (14)N nuclei in the higher valent compounds. The oxidation of [1](NO(3))(2) with the alternative oxidizing agent bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodobenzene affords the novel tetranuclear complex cis-[(O(2)CCF(3))Pt(III)(NH(3))(2)(μ-OAc)(2)Pt(III)(NH(3))(μ-NH(2))](2)(NO(3))(4), [4](NO(3))(4), also characterized structurally by X-ray crystallography. In solution, this complex exists as a mixture of species, the identities of which are proposed.     

Thermal and spectroscopic investigation of new binuclear Pt(II) complexes with carboxylic acids

The thermal decomposition of the binuclear Pt(II) complexes with acetate, propionate, valerate and izovalerate ligands were studied by TG and DTA techniques. The Pt(II) complex with acetic acid (PtAA) was stable up to 343.15 K, Pt(II) complex with propionic acid (PtPrA) was stable up to 323.15 K, Pt(II) complex with valeric acid (PtVA) was stable up to T=313.15 K and Pt(II) complex with isovaleric acid (PtIvA) was stable up to 408.15 K. The PtAA complex was investigated again after a year by thermogravimetric analysis. After the thermal decomposition of the Pt(II) complexes with carboxylic acids, only in the PtVA complex and PtAA complex (investigated after a year) the final residue contains only platinum, while in the rest complexes the solid residue was a mixture of platinum and platinum carbides (PtC₂, Pt₂C₃).     

Pt(II)- and Pt(IV)-bridged cofacial diporphyrins via carbon-transition metal sigma-bonds

A directly Pt(IV)-bridged cofacial diporphyrin has been synthesized by the cyclometalation reaction of beta-pyridylporphyrin with a Pt(IV) salt. Upon treatment with methylhydrazine, the Pt(IV) bridge is reduced to the Pt(II) center, resulting in a Pt(II)-bridged cofacial dimer with a helicity inversion of the complex as well as change in electronic communication through the metal bridge.
