Triphenylantimony(V) Catecholates of the Type (3-RS-4,6-DBCat)SbPh3-Catechol Thioether Derivatives: Structure,Electrochemical Properties,and Antiradical Activity

A new series of triphenylantimony(V) 3-alkylthio/arylthio-substituted 4,6-di-tert-butylcatecholates of the type (3-RS-4,6-DBCat)SbPh₃, where R = n-butyl (1), n-hexyl (2), n-octyl (3), cyclopentyl (4), cyclohexyl (5), benzyl (6), phenyl (7), and naphthyl-2 (8), were synthesized from the corresponding catechol thioethers and Ph₃SbBr₂ in the presence of a base. The crystal structures of 1, 2, 3, and 5 were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The coordination polyhedron of 1–3 is better described as a tetragonal pyramid with a different degree of distortion, while that for 5- was a distorted trigonal bipyramid (τ = 0.014, 0.177, 0.26, 0.56, respectively). Complexes demonstrated different crystal packing of molecules. The electrochemical oxidation of the complexes involved the catecholate group as well as the thioether linker. The introduction of a thioether fragment into the aromatic ring of catechol ligand led to a shift in the potential of the “catechol/o-semiquinone” redox transition to the anodic region, which indicated the electron-withdrawing nature of the RS group. The radical scavenging activity of the complexes was determined in the reaction with DPPH radical.     

Polydopamine-Assisted Rapid One-Step Immobilization of L-Arginine in Capillary as Immobilized Chiral Ligands for Enantioseparation of Dansyl Amino Acids by Chiral Ligand Exchange Capillary Electrochromatography

Herein, a novel L-arginine (L-Arg)-modified polydopamine (PDA)-coated capillary (PDA/L-Arg@capillary) was firstly fabricated via the basic amino-acid-induced PDA co-deposition strategy and employed to constitute a new chiral ligand exchange capillary electrochromatography (CLE-CEC) method for the high-performance enantioseparation of D,L-amino acids (D,L-AAs) with L-Arg as the immobilized chiral ligand coordinating with the central metal ion Zn(II) as running buffer. Assisted by hydrothermal treatment, the robust immobilization of L-Arg on the capillary inner wall could be facilely achieved within 1 h, prominently improving the synthesis efficiency and simplifying the preparation procedure. The successful preparation of PDA/L-Arg coatings in the capillary was systematically characterized and confirmed using several methods. In comparison with bare and PDA-functionalized capillaries, the enantioseparation capability of the presented CLE-CEC system was significantly enhanced. Eight D,L-AAs were completely separated and three pairs were partially separated under the optimal conditions. The prepared PDA/L-Arg@capillary showed good repeatability and stability. The potential mechanism of the greatly enhanced enantioseparation performance obtained by PDA/L-Arg@capillary was also explored. Moreover, the proposed method was further utilized for studying the enzyme kinetics of L-glutamic dehydrogenase, exhibiting its promising prospects in enzyme assays and other related applications.     

Complexes of Dichlorogermylene with Phosphine/Sulfoxide-Supported Carbone as Ligand

Due to their remarkable electronic features, recent years have witnessed the emergence of carbones L₂C, which consist in two donating L ligands coordinating a central carbon atom bearing two lone pairs. In this context, the phosphine/sulfoxide-supported carbone 4 exhibits a strong nucleophilic character, and here, we describe its ability to coordinate dichlorogermylene. Two original stable coordination complexes were obtained and fully characterized in solution and in the solid state by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. At 60 °C, in the presence of 4, the Ge(II)-complex 5 undergoes a slow isomerization that transforms the bis-ylide ligand into an yldiide.     

Monodentate AIEgen Anchored on Metal‐Organic Framework for Fast Fluorescence Sensing of Phosphate

Herein, a novel sensor (TPE‐UiO‐66) was designed via anchoring monodentate tetraphenylethylene (TPE) onto UiO‐66 framework. The combination of the distinct aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) of TPE and the easy replacement of monodentate linker by guest phosphate, makes TPE‐UiO‐66 an ideal platform for sensing HPO₄^2–. Experimental results indicate that TPE‐UiO‐66 can selectively sense HPO₄^2– from other common anions. The limit of detection (LOD) can reach to 5.56 μmol·L^–1 and more importantly, TPE‐UiO‐66 also exhibits an ultra‐fast equilibrium response of 2 min, far faster than those of other sensors especially for UiO‐66‐NH₂. The combination of experimental analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrates that the high selectivity, high sensitivity and fast response of HPO₄^2– detection by TPE‐UiO‐66 can be attributed to the stronger coordination interactions of HPO₄^2– with Zr‐O cluster of UiO‐66 than that of TPE molecule. This study not only provides a potential probe for phosphate, but also represents a novel strategy to design stimuli‐responsive fluorescent MOF‐based sensors via using monodentate AIEgens.

Stability of AgIII towards Halides in Organosilver(III) Complexes

The involvement of silver in two-electron Ag^I/Ag^III processes is currently emerging. However, the range of stability of the required and uncommon Ag^III species is virtually unknown. Here, the stability of Ag^III towards the whole set of halide ligands in the organosilver(III) complex frame [(CF₃)₃AgX]⁻ (X=F, Cl, Br, I, At) is theoretically analyzed. The results obtained depend on a single factor: the nature of X. Even the softest and least electronegative halides (I and At) are found to form reasonably stable Ag^III−X bonds. Our estimates were confirmed by experiment. The whole series of nonradiative halide complexes [PPh₄][(CF₃)₃AgX] (X=F, Cl, Br, I) has been experimentally prepared and all its constituents have been isolated in pure form. The pseudohalides [PPh₄][(CF₃)₃AgCN] and [PPh₄][(CF₃)₃Ag(N₃)] have also been isolated, the latter being the first silver(III) azido complex. Except for the iodo compound, all the crystal and molecular structures have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The decomposition paths of the [(CF₃)₃AgX]⁻ entities at the unimolecular level have been examined in the gas phase by multistage mass spectrometry (MSⁿ). The experimental detection of the two series of mixed complexes [CF₃AgX]⁻ and [FAgX]⁻ arising from the corresponding parent species [(CF₃)₃AgX]⁻ demonstrate that the Ag−X bond is particularly robust. Our experimental observations are rationalized with the aid of theoretical methods. Smooth variation with the electronegativity of X is also observed in the thermolyses of bulk samples. The thermal stability in the solid state gradually decreases from X=F (145 °C, dec.) to X=I (78 °C, dec.) The experimentally established compatibility of Ag^III with the heaviest halides is of particular relevance to silver-mediated or silver-catalyzed processes.

Structurally Modelling the 2-His-1-Carboxylate Facial Triad with a Bulky N,N,O Phenolate Ligand

We present the synthesis and coordination chemistry of a bulky, tripodal N,N,O ligand, Im^Ph2NNO ^{t Bu} ( L ), designed to model the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad (2H1C) by means of two imidazole groups and an anionic 2,4-di-tert-butyl-subtituted phenolate. Reacting K-L with MCl₂ (M = Fe, Zn) affords the isostructural, tetrahedral non-heme complexes [Fe(L)(Cl)] ( 1 ) and [Zn(L)(Cl)] ( 2 ) in high yield. The tridentate N,N,O ligand coordination observed in their X-ray crystal structures remains intact and well-defined in MeCN and CH₂Cl₂ solution. Reacting 2 with NaSPh affords a tetrahedral zinc thiolate complex, [Zn(L)(SPh)] ( 4 ), that is relevant to isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) biomimicry. Cyclic voltammetry studies demonstrate the ligand's redox non-innocence, where phenolate oxidation is the first electrochemical response observed in K-L , 2 and 4 . However, the first electrochemical oxidation in 1 is iron-centred, the assignment of which is supported by DFT calculations. Overall, Im^Ph2NNO ^{t Bu} provides access to well-defined mononuclear, monoligated, N,N,O-bound metal complexes, enabling more accurate structural modelling of the 2H1C to be achieved.
