New insights into the aggregation of silver pyrazolides using sterically hindered bidentate pyrazole ligands

Recrystallisation of Ag[L(1)] (HL(1) = 3{5}-[pyrid-2-yl]-5{3}-tert-butylpyrazole) in the presence of halide anions leads to two polymorphs of [Ag(3)(μ-Br)(μ-L(1))(2)], which differ in their mode of supramolecular association, and the cluster [Ag(10)(μ-L(1))(8)]Cl(2). In contrast, Ag[L(2)] (HL(2) = 3{5}-[isoquinol-1-yl]-5{3}-tert-butyl-pyrazole) crystallises as a cyclic tetrameric molecule.     

Synthesis of a new series of ditopic proligands for metal salts: differing regiochemistry of electrophilic attack at 3{5}-amino-5{3}-(pyrid-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole

An improved synthesis of 3{5}-amino-5{3}-(pyrid-2-yl)-1H-pyrazole (I) is described, which affords the compound on a multi-gram scale. Reaction of I with acid chloride and isothiocyanate electrophiles in MeCN cleanly results in attack at its amino group, yielding N-(3-{pyrid-2-yl}-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)amide and N-(3-{pyrid-2-yl}-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)thiourea products. These are good candidates as proligands for the simultaneous complexation of metal cations and anions. However, treatment of I with isocyanates under the same conditions instead yields attack at the pyrazole ring, giving 3-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-aminopyrazole-1-carboxylic acid amides as the only isolable products. The differing regiochemistries of these reactions were confirmed by ¹H NMR and X-ray crystallography.     

Rhenium tricarbonyl core complexes of thymidine and uridine derivatives

Thymidine and uridine were modified at the C2' and C5' ribose positions to form amine analogues of the nucleosides (1 and 4). Direct amination with NaBH(OAc)3 in DCE with the appropriate aldehydes yielded 1-{5-[(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl]-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl}-5-methyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (L1), 1-{5-[(bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl]-4-hydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl}-5-methyl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (L2), and 1-[3-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl]-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione (L5), while standard coupling procedures of 1 and 4 with 5-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid (2) and 5-(bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid (3) in the presence of HOBT-EDCI in DMF provided a second novel series of bifunctional chelators: 5-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid [(3-hydroxy-5-(5-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl] amide (L3), 5-(bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid [(3-hydroxy-5-(5-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl] amide (L4), 5-(bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid [2-(2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl] amide (L6), and 5-(bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino)pentanoic acid [2-(2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl] amide (L7). The rhenium tricarbonyl complexes of L1-L4, L6, and L7, [Re(CO)3(LX)]Br (X=1-4, 6, 7: compounds 5-10, respectively), have been prepared by reacting the appropriate ligand with [NEt4][Re(CO)3Br3] in methanol. The ligands and their rhenium complexes were obtained in good yields and characterized by common spectroscopic techniques including 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, IR, cyclic voltammetry, UV, and luminescence spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of complex 6.0.5NaPF6 displays a facial geometry of the carbonyl ligands. The nitrogen donors of the tridentate ligand complete the distorted octahedral spheres of the complex. Crystal data: monoclinic, C2, a = 24.618(3) A, b = 11.4787(11) A, c = 15.5902(15) A, beta = 112.422(4) degrees , Z = 4, D(calc) = 1.562 g/cm3.     

Dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide reduction with hemocyanin model complexes

Three copper polypyridyl complexes were examined as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR): a Cu-N(3) complex, [Cu-[tris(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methane]-(NCMe)]PF(6) (1); a related Cu(2)N(6) derivative, [Cu(2)-[1,2-bis(6-(bis(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)ethane]-(NCMe)(2)](PF(6))(2) (2); and the CuN(4) species [Cu-[tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine]](ClO(4))(2) [3](ClO(4))(2). Compared to other copper complexes, [3](ClO(4))(2) exhibits the highest reported ORR onset potential for a Cu complex of 0.53 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode at pH 1. The Cu(2)N(6) hemocyanin model is more active than the CuN(3), but both are less active than the CuN(4) complex. The results indicate that copper polypyridyl complexes are promising cathode catalysts for ORR.

Cinnamylindoline derivatives: synthesis and factor Xa (FXa) inhibitory activities

A series of cinnamylindoline derivatives were synthesized, and their factor Xa (FXa) inhibitory activities and selectivity over trypsin were evaluated. Among them, some novel derivatives showed potent FXa inhibitory activities and good selectivity over trypsin. Especially, (E)-2-{5-[1-(acetimidoyl)piperidin-4-yloxy]-2-[2-(5-amidino-2-hydroxyphenyl)ethen-1-yl]indolin-1-ylsulfonyl}acetic acid (22f) having 2-hydroxycinnamyl moiety exhibited the most potent FXa inhibitory activity in vitro. Furthermore, 22f also exhibited potent anticoagulant activities in vitro.     

Oxidative condensation reactions of (diethylenetriamine)cobalt(III) complexes with substituted bis(pyridin-2-yl)methane ligands

The synthesis and characterisation of Co(III) complexes derived from a condensation reaction with a central or terminal nitrogen of a dien ligand and the -carbon of a range of substituted bis(pyridin-2-yl)methane ligands are described. Aerial oxidation of bpm {bis(pyridin-2-yl)methane with Co(II)/dien or direct reaction with Co(dien)Cl₃ provided in low yield a single C–N condensation product 1 (at the primary terminal NH₂) after the pyridyl –CH₂– is formally oxidised to –CH⁺–. The methyl substituted ligand bpe {1,1-bis(pyridin-2-yl)ethane} behaves likewise, except both terminal (prim) and central (sec) amines condense to yield isomeric products 2 and 3. Two of these three materials have been characterised by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The corresponding reactions for the bis(pyridyl) ligand bpk {bis(pyridin-2-yl)ketone} provided C–N condensation products without the requirement for oxidation at the -C center; two carbinolamine complexes in different geometrical configurations resulted, mer-anti-[Co(dienbpc)Cl]ZnCl₄, 5, and unsym-fac-[Co(dienbpc)Cl]ZnCl₄, 6, {dienbpc=[2-(2-aminoethylamino)-ethylamino]-di-pyridin-2-yl-methanol}. In addition, a novel complex, [Co(bpk)(bpd-OH)Cl]ZnCl₄, 4, in which one bidentate N, N-bonded bpk ligand and one tridentate N, O, N-bonded bpd (the diol from bpk+OH⁻) were coordinated, was obtained via the Co(II)/O₂ synthetic route. When the bpc ligand (bpc=bis(pyridin-2-yl)methanol) was employed directly as a reagent along with dien, no condensation reactions were observed, but rather a single isomeric complex [Co(dien)(bpc)]Cl.ZnCl₄, 7, in which the ligand bpc acted as a N,N,O-bonded tridentate ligand rather than as a N,N-bidentate ligand was isolated. ¹³C, 1D and 2D ¹H NMR studies are reported for all the complexes; they establish the structures unambiguously.     

An unusual zinc-promoted decomposition of a bis(2-{pyrid-2-yl}ethyl)amine derivative

The complex [ZnBr(2)L(1)] (L(1) = ferrocenylmethyl-bis[2-{pyrid-2-yl}ethyl]amine) contains bidentate L(1) by crystallography and NMR spectroscopy and decomposes during recrystallization from CH(2)Cl(2)/pentane via both C-N bond cleavage and formation steps. Other [MBr(2)L(1)] (M = Co, Ni, Cu) compounds do not undergo this reaction and contain L(1) bound in the more usual tridentate coordination mode.     

Electrical rectification by monolayers of three molecules

Rectification, i.e. asymmetrical electrical conduction by a Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer of dicyano{4-[1-cyano-2-(1-hexadecylquinolin-1-ium-4-yl)vinyl]phenyl} methanide ( 1 ), occurs between both Al and Au electrodes: this rectification arises from the asymmetry of the molecule, and the interplay between the zwitterionic ground state D⁺-π-A⁻ and the less dissociated first electronic excited state D⁰-π-A⁰. Two more monolayer rectifiers have been found: 1-butyl-2,6-bis{2-[4-(dibutylamino)phenyl] vinyl}pyridin-1-ium iodide ( 2 ) is an interionic rectifier with back charge transfer between the iodide ion and the pyridinium ring. 1a-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-1aH-1a-aza-1(2)a-homo(C₆₀-I_h)[5,6]fullerene ( 3 ) is a moderate rectifier, with a rectification ratio of 2.     

Four copper(II) pyrazolido complexes derived from reactions of 3{5}-substituted pyrazoles with CuF(2) or Cu(OH)(2)

Treatment of CuF(2) with 2 equiv of 3{5}-[pyrid-2-yl]pyrazole (Hpz(Py)), 3{5}-phenylpyrazole (Hpz(Ph)) or 3{5}-[4-fluorophenyl]pyrazole (Hpz(PhF)) in MeOH, followed by evaporation to dryness and recrystallisation of the solid residues, allows solvated crystals of [{Cu(micro-pz(Py))(pz(Py))}(2)] (1), [{Cu(micro-pz(Ph))(2)}(4)] (2) and [Cu(4)F(2)(micro(4)-F)(micro-pz(PhF))(5)(Hpz(PhF))(4)] (3) to be isolated in moderate-to-good yields. Similar reactions of these three pyrazoles with Cu(OH)(2) in refluxing MeOH respectively afford 1, 2 and [Cu(pz(PhF))(2)(Hpz(PhF))(2)] (4) in ca. 10% yield. Crystalline 1 x 1/2H(2)O x 2CHCl(3) contains two independent dinuclear molecules with a puckered di-(1,2-pyrazolido) bridge motif, linked by a bridging, hydrogen-bonding water molecule. Compound 2 x 1/2C(5)H(12), containing cyclic, square tetranuclear complex molecules, is the first homoleptic divalent metal pyrazolide to have a discrete molecular rather than polymeric structure, for a metal other than Pd or Pt. The two independent complex molecules in 3 x 3/4CH(2)Cl(2) x Hpz(PhF) contain a unique tetrahedral [Cu(4)(micro(4)-F)](7+) core, three of whose edges are spanned by bridging pyrazolido groups. Magnetic data show that the copper centres in 1 and 3 are antiferromagnetically coupled, but that dried bulk samples of 2 do not retain their molecular structure.     

Reactions with Hydrazonoyl Halides 611: Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydro-1,3,4-Thiadiazoles

All synthesize compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectra, and alternative synthesis routes, whenever possible.

The complexes 1-4 and 6 and 7 exhibit fac-{Re(CO)3N3} coordination geometry in the cationic molecular units, while 5 exhibits fac-{Re(CO)3N2O} coordination for the neutral molecular unit, where N3 and N2O refer to the ligand donor groups. The ligands bis(1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine (L1), [bis(1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amino]acetic acid ethyl ester (L2), [bis(1-methyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-ylmethy)amino]acetic acid methyl ester (L3), [bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino]acetic acid methyl ester (L4), 3-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-[(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]propionic acid (L5), 2-[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-3-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic acid (L6), and 2-[bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amino]-3-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic acid (L7) were obtained in good yields and characterized by elemental analysis, 1D and 2D NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).

New tetrathiafulvalenes containing a 2,5-bis(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrole fragment: Synthesis, optical properties, and electrochemical behavior

The reaction of 1-(3-bromopropyl)-2,5-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole with cesium 5-methylsulfanyl-2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4-thiolate generated in situ gave previously unknown 4-{3-[2,5-bis(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]propylsulfanyl}-5-methylsulfanyl-1,3-dithiole-2-thione, and cross-coupling of the latter with 4,5-disubstituted 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones in the presence of triethyl phosphite afforded new substituted tetrathiafulvalenes containing a 2,5-bis(thiophen-2-yl)pyrrole fragment. Optical properties and electrochemical behavior of the synthesized compounds were studied, and their ability to undergo electropolymerization was confirmed.     

Ammonium, alkylammonium, and amino acid complexes of a hexacopper fluoro-metallacrown cavitand

Reaction of CuF2 with one equivalent of 3{5}-(pyrid-2-yl)-5{3}-(tertbutyl)pyrazole (HL) and excess NH4OH in MeOH affords crystalline [NH4{Cu(micro-F)(microL)}6(CH2Cl2)2]HF2 in moderate yield. This compound contains the 12-MC-6 metallacrown [{Cu(micro-F)(micro-L)}6] (1) with a NH4 + ion at its center, and CH2Cl2 molecules complexed in bowl-shaped cavities above and below the Cu6F6 ring. Similar reactions using the bases MeNH2, glycine, l-alanine or beta-alanine afforded solvated crystals of [1(H3NMe)2]Cl2, [1(gly)2], [1(l-ala)2], and [1(beta-ala)2], respectively. The metallacrown 1 in these products contains methylammonium and zwitterionic amino-acid guests in its two bowl-shaped cavities; each of the amino acids hydrogen-bonds to three F atoms. A related reaction using 1,6-diaminohexane resulted in fixation of CO2 from the air to give solvated [1(H3NC6H12NHCO2)2], again with a zwitterionic guest. NMR, ESI-MS and UV/vis measurements suggest that the metallacrown 1 retains its integrity in several organic solvents, although it is unclear to what extent guest binding takes place in solution.     

Synthesis of substituted derivatives of imidazo [5, 1-b] benzimidazole

Heating, either molten or in high-boiling solvents, 1-methyl-2-[(N-phenylthiocarbamoyl)amino] (pyrid-4-yl)-methylbenzimidazole, or refluxing with phosphorus oxychloride in benzene acyl derivatives of 1-methyl-2-[(pyrid-4-yl)(amino)]- and 1-methyl-2 [(phenyl)(amino)]-methylbenzimidazoles, gives the corresponding derivatives of the imidazo [5, 1-b] benzimidazole system, hitherto undescribed in the literature.
