Catalytic O2 evolution from water induced by adsorption of [OH2)(terpy)Mn(mu-O)2Mn(terpy)(OH2)]3+ complex onto clay compounds

Water oxidation to evolve O2 in photosynthesis is catalyzed by an enzyme whose active site contains a mu-oxo-bridged manganese core. Catalytic O2 evolution has been difficult to establish by manganese-oxo complexes in homogeneous aqueous solutions. The reaction of [(OH2)(terpy)MnIII(mu-O)2MnIV(terpy)(OH2)]3+ (terpy = 2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine) (1) with a CeIV oxidant leads to the decomposition of 1 to the permanganate ion without O2 evolution in an aqueous solution but catalytically produces O2 from water when 1 is adsorbed on clay compounds. 18O-labeling experiments showed that the oxygen atoms in O2 originate exclusively from water. Catalysis of O2 evolution requires cooperation of 2 equiv of 1 adsorbed on clay compounds.

The ligand-ligand and spin-orbit interactions in Fe(phen) 3 +2 and Ru(phen) 3 +2 ions

To explain the differences in the spectral properties of the complex ions (–)-Fe(phen) ₃ ⁺² and (–)-Ru(phen) ₃ ⁺² the interaction between the ligands and spin-orbit coupling energies have been calculated. It is shown that the spinorbit coupling energy in case of Ru(II) complex is more important than the ligand-ligand interaction. This leads to a sequence of the lowest excited states ³A₂<¹A₂<¹E.     

[Ru(bpy)2L]2+、[Ru(phen)2L]2+(L=pytp,pztp)电子结构与抗癌活性研究

Theoretical studies on the complexes Ru(bpy)2L2+, Ru(phen)2L2+ (L=pytp,pztp) were carried out by using the density functional theory (DFT) method at B3LYP/LanL2DZ level. The relation between electronic structures and anti-cancer activities of complexes was investigated. The increasing of N in the main ligand can strengthen the interaction of complexes with DNA and anti cancer activities of complexes. The calculation results show that for complexes I-IV, their energies of LUMO orbital are in the order of εI>εII, εIII>εIV, the electron cloud components of LUMO come mainly from main ligands and the content distributing is in the order of I相似文献   

Synthesis and spectroscopic DNA binding studies of [Ru(phen)2(tbtc)]2+ and [Ru(2,9-dmp)2(tbtc)]2+

A new polypyridyl ligand tbtc (tbtc=4,5,9,14-tetraaza-benzo[b]triphenylene-11-carboxylic acid methyl ester) and its complexes [Ru(phen)2(tbtc)]2+ (1) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) and [Ru(2,9-dmp)2(tbtc)]2+ (2) (2,9-dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by element analysis, MS, and 1H NMR. The DNA binding properties of both complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated by different spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that both complexes bind to DNA via an intercalative mode, and the DNA binding affinity of complex 1 is much greater than that of complex 2. This difference in binding affinity probably was caused by the different ancillary ligands. Also, when irradiated at 365 nm, complex 1 was found to be a more-effective DNA-cleaving agent than complex 2.

Unusual sandwich platinum(II) complex: [Pt(phen)2]2+ cation between two Pt(phen)(OOCMe)2 molecules

New carboxylate platinum(II) complexes: syn and anti isomers of Pt(phen)(OOCMe)₂ molecular complex, [Pt(phen)(NCMe)₂](O₃SCF₃)₂, as well as unusual sandwich complex [Pt(phen)₂]²⁺ · 2syn-[Pt(phen)(OOCMe)₂] where [Pt(phen)₂]²⁺ cation is inserted between two syn-Pt(phen)(OOCMe)₂ molecules were synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. As distinct from syn- and anti-Pt(phen)(OOCMe)₂ and [Pt(phen)(NCMe)₂](O₃SCF₃)₂ complexes with flat phenanthroline ligand, the phen ligands in [Pt(phen)₂]²⁺ cation have a curved configuration. Comparative DFT analysis of geometry of model structures phen, phen⁺, phenH⁺, and [Ptphen₂] ⁿ⁺ (n = 1, 2) showed that electron removal from phen molecule had no effect on its geometry in both free state and platinum(II) complexes.

Interaction studies of DNA binding of ruthenium(II) mixed-ligand complexes: [Ru(phen)2(dtmi)]2+ and [Ru(phen)2(dtni)]2+

Two new ligands, 3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-as-triazino[5,6-f]-5-methoxylisatin (dtmi), 3-(pyrazin-2-yl)-as-triazino[5,6-f]-5-nitroisatin (dtni) and their ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(phen)2(dtmi)](ClO4)2 (1) and [Ru(phen)2(dtni)](ClO4)2 (2) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FAB-MS, ES-MS and 1H NMR. The DNA-binding behaviors of complexes have been studied by spectroscopic titration, viscosity measurements, thermal denaturation and circular dichromism (CD). The results indicate that the complexes 1 and 2 interact with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) by intercalative mode. The DNA-binding affinity of the complexes 2 is larger than that complex 1 does.     

Chemiluminescence determination of barbituric acid using Ru(phen)(3)(2+)-Ce(IV) system

A chemiluminescence (CL) method for the determination of barbituric acid (BA) was proposed, which is based on the enhancement of BA to the CL intensity of Tris-(1,10-phenanthroline)ruthenium(II) (Ru(phen)₃²⁺)-cerium(IV) (Ce(IV)) system. The concentration of BA is proportional to the CL intensity in the range of 5.0×10⁻³-2.0 μg ml⁻¹. The detection limit is 6.9×10⁻⁴ μg ml⁻¹. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of determining 11 samples containing 0.20 μg ml⁻¹ BA is 3.2%. This CL method has been successfully applied to the determination of BA in the synthetic samples. The mechanism of CL reaction was studied.     

Photochemical expulsion of the neutral monodentate ligand L in Ru(terpy*)(diimine)(L)2+: a dramatic effect of the steric properties of the spectator diimine ligand

A series of photoreactive complexes of the type Ru(terpy*)(N-N)(L)(2+), where terpy* is 4'-(3,5-ditertiobutylphenyl)-2,2':6',2' '-terpyridine, N-N is the bidentate chelate phen or dmp (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline), and L is the monodentate ligand dms, MeBN, or MeOBN (dms = dimethyl sulfide, MeBN = 2,6-dimethyl benzonitrile, MeOBN = 2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile), has been synthesized and fully characterized by proton NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The X-ray structures of four complexes were also obtained. In neat pyridine, the quantum yields for the photosubsitution of L by pyridine were measured and showed dramatic variations depending on the steric interactions between the spectator bidentate ligand and the leaving monodentate ligand L. The use of dmp instead of phen multiplied the photosubstitution efficiency by a factor of 20-50, depending on L. This effect could be qualitatively correlated to the distortions observed in the X-ray structures of the corresponding complexes. The highly distorted structure of Ru(terpy)(dmp)(dms)(PF(6))(2) showed a very high photosubsitution quantum yield phi = 0.36 in neat pyridine. The high photoreactivity of some of the compounds makes them particularly promising as components of future light-driven molecular machines.     

Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)]2+ and [Ru(phen)2(HATPHE)]2+: two ruthenium(II) complexes with the same ligands but different photophysics and spectroelectrochemistry

The properties of two mononuclear Ru(II) complexes formed with the extended planar ligand PHEHAT depend drastically on the chelation site by the metallic ion. When the chelation takes place on the HAT site of the ligand (case of the novel complex [Ru(phen)2(HATPHE)]2+), the emission behavior is quite similar to that of [Ru(phen)2(HAT)]2+. In contrast, when the chelation is on the phen motif of the ligand (case of [Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)]2+), the spectroscopic (absorption and emission) and electrochemical data for the complex do not obey the linear spectroelectrochemical correlation and the emission behavior is comparable to that of the extensively studied dppz complex ([Ru(phen/bpy)2(dppz)]2+). Thus, for [Ru(phen)2(PHEHAT)]2+, the emission lifetimes and intensities as a function of temperature exhibit a maximum for nitrile solvents. However, in contrast to the dppz case, at least three different states (two emitting and one dark) participate in the deactivation with different contributions depending on the temperature. These different contributions explain the observed maximum. Moreover, the fact that the solvent is liquid or frozen also influences the nature of the luminescent species.     

Theoretical study of the Fe(phen)(2)(NCS)(2) spin-crossover complex with reparametrized density functionals

The theoretical study of spin-crossover compounds is very challenging as those parts of the experimental findings that concern the electronic structure of these compounds can currently hardly be reproduced because of either technical limitations of highly accurate ab initio methods or because of inaccuracies of density functional methods in the prediction of low-spin/high-spin energy splitting. However, calculations with reparametrized density functionals on molecules of the thermal spin-crossover type can give improved results when compared with experiment for close-lying states of different spin and are therefore important for, e.g., transition metal catalysis. A classification of transition metal compounds within hybrid density functional theory is given to distinguish standard, critical, and complicated cases. From the class of complicated cases we choose the prominent spin-crossover compound Fe(phen)(2)(NCS)(2) and show in a first step how the electronic contribution to the energy splitting can be calculated. In a second step, the vibrational effects on the spin flip are investigated within the harmonic force-field approximation of the isolated-molecule approach. A main result of the study is the necessity of exact-exchange reduction in hybrid density functionals to arrive at reasonable electronic energy splittings. The study resolves problems that originated from the use of standard density functionals, which are not able to reproduce the electronic contribution to the low-spin/high-spin splitting correctly, and demonstrates to which extent reparametrized density functionals can be used for the prediction of the spin-crossover effect.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Mn（phen）（PhCOO）2（H2O）

1 INTRODUCTION During the last decade the manganese che- mistry has aroused great interest due to its diverse redox functions of enzymes in photosystem Ⅱ and its specially structural, magnetic and spectroscopic properties[1, 2]. A lot of manganese complexes involving carboxylate ligands have been reported, and their properties been fully explored[3, 4]. The coordination environment of the manganese site in biosystem often consists of oxygen and nitrogen atoms from the carboxylate groups…     

Characterization of the O(2)-evolving reaction catalyzed by [(terpy)(H2O)Mn(III)(O)2Mn(IV)(OH2)(terpy)](NO3)3 (terpy = 2,2':6,2"-terpyridine).

The complex [(terpy)(H(2)O)Mn(III)(O)(2)Mn(IV)(OH(2))(terpy)](NO(3))(3) (terpy = 2,2':6,2' '-terpyridine) (1)catalyzes O(2) evolution from either KHSO(5) (potassium oxone) or NaOCl. The reactions follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics where V(max) = 2420 +/- 490 mol O(2) (mol 1)(-1) hr(-1) and K(M) = 53 +/- 5 mM for oxone ([1] = 7.5 microM), and V(max) = 6.5 +/- 0.3 mol O(2) (mol 1)(-1) hr(-1) and K(M) = 39 +/- 4 mM for hypochlorite ([1] = 70 microM), with first-order kinetics observed in 1 for both oxidants. A mechanism is proposed having a preequilibrium between 1 and HSO(5-) or OCl(-), supported by the isolation and structural characterization of [(terpy)(SO(4))Mn(IV)(O)(2)Mn(IV)(O(4)S)(terpy)] (2). Isotope-labeling studies using H(2)(18)O and KHS(16)O(5) show that O(2) evolution proceeds via an intermediate that can exchange with water, where Raman spectroscopy has been used to confirm that the active oxygen of HSO(5-) is nonexchanging (t(1/2) > 1 h). The amount of label incorporated into O(2) is dependent on the relative concentrations of oxone and 1. (32)O(2):(34)O(2):(36)O(2) is 91.9 +/- 0.3:7.6 +/- 0.3:0.51 +/- 0.48, when [HSO(5-)] = 50 mM (0.5 mM 1), and 49 +/- 21:39 +/- 15:12 +/- 6 when [HSO(5-)] = 15 mM (0.75 mM 1). The rate-limiting step of O(2) evolution is proposed to be formation of a formally Mn(V)=O moiety which could then competitively react with either oxone or water/hydroxide to produce O(2). These results show that 1 serves as a functional model for photosynthetic water oxidation.     

Ruthenium-Decorated Lipid Vesicles: Light-Induced Release of [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH(2))](2+) and Thermal Back Coordination

Electrostatic forces play an important role in the interaction between large transition metal complexes and lipid bilayers. In this work, a thioether-cholestanol hybrid ligand (4) was synthesized, which coordinates to ruthenium(II) via its sulfur atom and intercalates into lipid bilayers via its apolar tail. By mixing its ruthenium complex [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(4)](2+) (terpy = 2,2';6',2'-terpyridine; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) with either the negatively charged lipid dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) or with the zwitterionic lipid dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), large unilamellar vesicles decorated with ruthenium polypyridyl complexes are formed. Upon visible light irradiation the ruthenium-sulfur coordination bond is selectively broken, releasing the ruthenium fragment as the free aqua complex [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH(2))](2+). The photochemical quantum yield under blue light irradiation (452 nm) is 0.0074(8) for DMPG vesicles and 0.0073(8) for DMPC vesicles (at 25 °C), which is not significantly different from similar homogeneous systems. Dynamic light scattering and cryo-TEM pictures show that the size and shape of the vesicles are not perturbed by light irradiation. Depending on the charge of the lipids, the cationic aqua complex either strongly interacts with the membrane (DMPG) or diffuses away from it (DMPC). Back coordination of [Ru(terpy)(bpy)(OH(2))](2+) to the thioether-decorated vesicles takes place only at DMPG bilayers with high ligand concentrations (25 mol %) and elevated temperatures (70 °C). During this process, partial vesicle fusion was also observed. We discuss the potential of such ruthenium-decorated vesicles in the context of light-controlled molecular motion and light-triggered drug delivery.
