柚皮素/β-环糊精超分子体系的包合行为

本文采用超声法制备了柚皮素（NAR）与β-环糊精（βCD）的包合物.粉末-X射线衍射（XRD）和红外吸收光谱（IR）测定均表明形成的包合物具有不同于主客体的新的结构性质.¹H NMR与ROESY核磁共振（NMR）实验表明NAR以苯环端从βCD的宽口端进入，并形成稳定的超分子包合物.量子化学计算分析NAR/βCD包合物的形成过程表明，驱动力源于焓驱动与氢键弱相互作用力；能隙和结合能分析得到的最优包合模式与NMR研究结果一致；ONIOM分层计算验证了上述结果.分子对接模拟出的最优包合模式也与量子化学计算、NMR的分析结果吻合.本文获取了清晰的NAR/βCD包合物构型及其形成机理，为该超分子药物的定量构效关系研究提供了理论参考.

Two novel d10 transition metal complexes based on 1H‐benzimidazole‐5,6‐dicarboxylic acid: Synthesis,structure and multifunctional luminescence detection

Two new coordination complexes based on benzimidazole dicarboxylic acid, Zn(Hbidc)?H₂O ( 1 ) and Cd(Hbidc)(H₂O) ( 2 ), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, infrared and UV–visible spectroscopies, powder X‐ray diffraction, thermogravimetry and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Structural analyses showed that the crystal structures of 1 and 2 are different, due to the various modes of linking of the benzimidazole dicarboxylic acid. Complex 1 has a two‐dimensional network structure and 2 has a three‐dimensional network structure. In addition, we studied the performance of the fluorescence response of two complexes. Results showed that the complexes can be used as chemical sensors for multifunctional testing, such as for UO₂²⁺, xanthine and Fe³⁺ ions. Even if the concentration is very low, they could also be detected, showing that coordination complexes 1 and 2 have very high fluorescence sensitivity. The detection limit for UO₂²⁺ is 5.42 nM ( 1 ) and 0.02 nM ( 2 ), that for xanthine is 1.37 nM ( 1 ) and 0.28 nM ( 2 ), and that for Fe³⁺ ions is 0.76 nM ( 1 ) and 0.62 nM ( 2 ).     

Synthesis,crystal structure,DNA/bovine serum albumin binding and antitumor activity of two transition metal complexes with 4‐acylpyrazolone derivative

Two new complexes, namely [Cu₆L₆] ( 1 ) and [Zn(HL)₂] ( 2 ) (H₂L = N‐(1‐phenyl‐3‐methyl‐4‐propenylidene‐5‐pyrazolone)‐2‐furancarboxylic acid hydrazide), have been synthesized and characterized. Single crystal X‐ray analysis indicates that complex 1 has a hexanuclear structure and complex 2 exhibits a mononuclear structure. The DNA/bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding properties of complexes 1 and 2 were investigated by absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching. Both complexes could effectively intercalate to DNA with calculated quenching constants of 2.6 × 10⁵ and 1.25 × 10⁵ M^?1, respectively. The quenching mechanism of the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA by the complexes was found to be a static one. The cytotoxicities of 1 and 2 were investigated in two human tumor cell lines, human esophageal cancer cells (Eca‐109) and cervical cancer cells (HeLa). Complex 1 exhibits higher antitumor activity than 2 . Furthermore, 1 can inhibit HeLa cells by inducing apoptosis and G0/G1 phase cell cycle arrest. All results demonstrate that 1 and 2 both have DNA/BSA binding capacity and antitumor activity.     

Hexanuclear 3d − 4f metal–organic cages assembled from a carboxylic acid‐functionalized tris‐triazamacrocycle for highly selective fluorescent sensing of picric acid

Two Ln^III ions are sandwiched by dinuclear Co^II building blocks derived from a tris‐triazamacrocyclic ligand bearing pendant carboxylic acid functionality, 1,3,5‐tris((4,7‐bis(2‐carboxyethyl)‐1,4,7‐triazacyclonon‐1‐yl)methyl)‐benzene (H₆L), giving rising to two nanoscale heterometallic metal–organic cages formulated as [Co₄Ln₂(LH_2.5)₂(H₂O)₄]·(ClO₄)₆·NO₃·nH₂O [Ln = Dy, n = 12 ( 1 ); Ln = Yb, n = 9 ( 2 )], whose internal cavity accommodates a guest NO₃^? anion. Their hexanuclear cage‐like architectures are maintained both in solution and solid states as confirmed by mass spectrum as well as X‐ray diffraction experiments. These two cages display ligand‐based fluorescence emissions and therefore both were chosen to be operated as fluorescent chemosensors for the detection of nitroaromatic compounds. Attractively, these metal–organic cages allow highly selective and sensitive detection of picric acid (PA) over other nitroaromatics in solution and suspension, and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between the cage probes and PA is mainly responsible for the remarkable detection efficiency.     

First Bis(σ)-borane Complexes of Group 6 Transition Metals: Experimental and Theoretical Studies

A series of bis(σ)-borane complexes of Group 6 transition metals were prepared by direct dihydroborane coordination to the metal center. Reaction of [M(CO)₃(PCy₃)₂] and two dihydroboranes [DurBH₂] and [(Me₃Si)₂NBH₂] (Dur=2,3,5,6-Me₄C₆H) yielded bis(σ)-borane complexes fac-[M(CO)₃(PCy₃){η²-(H₂BR)}] (R=Dur; 1 : M=Cr, 2 : M=W; R=N(SiMe₃)₂; 3 : M=Cr, 4 : M=W). In the case of molybdenum, we have isolated an arene complex ( 5 ) with [DurBH₂] in which the Dur group acts as a η⁶-bound ligand, and with [(Me₃Si)₂NBH₂] a similar bis(σ)-borane complex was isolated, cis,trans-[Mo(CO)₂(PCy₃)₂{η²-(H₂BN(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 6 ), with a different pattern of auxiliary ligands. The complexes were investigated by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational methods. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) calculations demonstrated that the borane complexes may be described as pure bis(σ)-borane complexes rather than elongated or stretched examples given that the calculations do not show the presence of a ring-critical point (RCP) at the ring formed by the interactions of the B−H with metal center.     

Minimizing Side Product Formation in Alkyne Functionalization of Ruthenium Complexes by Introduction of Protecting Groups

The synthesis of alkyne functionalized bipyridine ruthenium complexes are reported. The improved synthetic approach through application of stable protecting groups prevents formation of possible side products while facilitating purification. By applying copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC) pyrene units with flexible alkyl linkers are introduced at the periphery of the complex, opening up various applications including surface immobilization and DNA intercalation. All complexes are characterized structurally as well as photophysically, especially regarding the influence of the introduced alkyne and triazolyl substituents on their photophysical behavior.     

Rare-earth metal derivatives supported by aminophenoxy ligand: Synthesis,characterization and catalytic performance in lactide polymerization

A library of rare-earth metal derivatives supported by an aminophenoxy ligand was prepared and their catalytic performance in lactide polymerization was investigated. It was found that the synthetic strategy had a profound effect on the formation of aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes. Amine elimination between Ln[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ (Ln = Yb, Y) and 1 equiv. of the aminophenol [HONH] ([HONH] = ο-OCH₃-C₆H₄NHCH₂(3,5-^tBu₂-C₆H₂-2-OH)) in toluene gave the unexpected heterobimetallic bis(aminophenoxy) rare-earth metal complexes [ON]₂LnLi(THF)₂ (Ln = Yb ( 1 ), Y ( 2 )). When the reactions were carried out in THF and TMEDA, amine elimination produced the aminophenoxy rare-earth metal amide complexes {[ON]LnN(SiMe₃)₂}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 5 ), Y ( 6 )) in ca 85% isolated yields. Complexes 5 and 6 could also be obtained from salt metathesis reaction of {[ON]LnCl(THF)}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 3 ), Y ( 4 )) with NaN(SiMe₃)₂ in a 1:2 molar ratio. In addition, treatment of complexes 3 and 4 with NaOAr (Ar = &bond;C₆H₄-4-^tBu) and (SiMe₃)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂Na in 1:4 and 1:2 molar ratios provided the corresponding aminophenoxy rare-earth metal derivatives {[ON](μ-OAr)Ln(μ-OAr)Na(THF)₂}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 7 ), Y ( 8 )) and {[ON]Ln[(ⁱPrN)₂CN(SiMe₃)₂]}₂ (Ln = Yb ( 9 ), Y ( 10 )), respectively. These complexes were fully characterized, and their molecular structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Polymerization experiments showed that complexes 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 were highly active for the ring-opening polymerization of l -lactide in toluene, and complex 1 promoted l -lactide polymerization in a controlled fashion. The polymerization of rac-lactide initiated by the neutral aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 in THF afforded heterotactic polymers.
