Regioselective reactivity of an asymmetric tetravalent di[dihydroxotin(IV)] bis-porphyrin host driven by hydrogen-bond templation

Local molecular environment effects on the rates of ligand exchange at an asymmetric di[dihydroxotin(IV)] bis-porphyrin 5 are examined. The host 5 possesses four non-equivalent tin(IV)-ligand binding sites that are distinguished by their position relative to a shallow cavity, by the steric environment at each binding site and by electronic-structure differences between the constituent porphyrin and quinoxalinoporphyrin macrocycles. These design features of the asymmetric host are confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Binding experiments with monodentate carboxylic acids and bidentate dicarboxylic acids show significant differences in the rate of ligand exchange at each of the four tin(IV) binding sites. For monodentate carboxylic acids, binding preferentially occurs at the exterior porphyrin site. Further addition of carboxylic acid results in sequential binding at the quinoxalinoporphyrin sites and lastly at the interior site on the porphyrin, with high regioselectivity. These selective binding outcomes are immediately apparent by NMR spectroscopy. A series of 2D NMR spectroscopy experiments allowed identification of the preferred binding sites at the host. This positively identifies that steric hindrance and electron-withdrawing functionality on the porphyrin macrocycle impede ligand exchange. However, these effects are overcome by dicarboxylic acid guests, which form ditopic hydrogen-bond interactions between the intracavity hydroxo ligands in the initial stage of ligand exchange, leading to regioselective binding between the tin(IV) sites within the cavity. It is envisaged that the factors identified herein that define regioselective ligand exchange at host 5 will find wider application in supramolecular systems incorporating tin(IV) porphyrins.

NMR spectra of the synthesized azo dyes, 5‐arylazo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐2,4,6‐triones (5a–g), 1,3‐dimethyl‐5‐arylazo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐2,4,6‐triones (6a–g), and 5‐arylazo‐2‐thioxo‐pyrimidine (1H,3H,5H)‐4,6‐diones (7a–g) were studied in (CD₃)₂SO (three drops of CD₃OD were added into solutions of the dyes in two different concentrations). All dyes showed intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Dyes 5a–7a showed bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Tautomeric behaviours of some of N‐methylated azo dyes (6a‐g) were studied in two different concentrations. The solvent–substrate proton exchange of dyes 5a–d, 6a and 7a–e was examined in presence of three drops of CD₃OD. The dyes which were soluble in (CD₃)₂SO containing CD₃OD showed isotopic splitting (β‐isotope effect) in the ¹³C NMR spectra. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A series of cis-bis{5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]quinolinolato}dibenzyltin(IV) complexes have been synthesized by reacting sodium salts of 5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]quinolin-8-ol (LH) and dibenzyltin dichloride. These complexes have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, ESI-MS in solution and by IR and ^119mSn Mössbauer, ¹¹⁷Sn CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy in solid state. In addition, the structures of three of the dibenzyltin(IV) complexes, viz., Bz₂Sn(L²)₂ (2), Bz₂Sn(L³)₂ (3), and Bz₂Sn(L⁵)₂ (5) (L = 5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]quinolin-8-ol: aryl = 4′-methylphenyl- (L²H), 4′-methoxylphenyl- (L³H) and 4′-bromophenyl- (L⁵H)) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In general, the complexes were found to adopt a distorted cis-octahedral arrangement around the tin atom in both solution and solid state.
