Iron (III) derivatives of 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline

The chemistry of the iron (III) derivatives of 4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline has been studied in detail. Oxidation of the intensely red tris(4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline) iron (II) ion results in a grey compound, tris(4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline)iron(III), which is stable below pH 10. Above pH 10 the grey compound is partially converted into an amber compound in which the ratio of phenanthroline to iron is 2:1. The amber compound is the conjugate base of a purple 2:1 compound with pK(a) = 9.77. The visible absorption spectra of the three species at various pH values are reported. For 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline pK(3), as determined by ultraviolet absorptometry, is 12.62 +/- 0.2.     

Long-lived palladium catalysts for CO/vinyl arene polyketones synthesis: a solution to deactivation problems

A series of cationic palladium complexes of general formula [Pd(Me)(MeCN)(N-N)][PF(6)] (N-N = (phen) 1 a, 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Cl(2)-phen) 2 a, 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Ph(2)-phen) 3 a, 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4-Me-phen) 4 a, 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Me(2)-phen) 5 a, 5,5,6,6-tetrafluoro-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline (F(4)-phen) 6 a, containing different substituted phenanthroline ligands, have been prepared from the corresponding neutral chloro derivatives [Pd(Me)(Cl)(N-N)], (1 b-6 b). The X-ray crystal structure of [Pd(Cl)(2)(4,7-Cl(2)-phen)] (2 b') was determined. DFT calculations show that the electron density on the metal is tuned by the substituents on the ligands. The catalytic behavior of complexes 1 a-6 a in the CO/styrene and CO/p-Me-styrene copolymerizations was studied in detail, showing that the generated catalysts are active for at least 90 h, yielding copolymers of high molecular weight. A firm correlation between the electron density on palladium on the one hand and the catalytic activity of the complexes and the molecular weight and the stereochemistry of the polyketones synthesized on the other hand has been established: the catalyst containing the F(4)-phen is thus far the most active among those tested, yielding the syndiotactic CO/styrene copolymer with a stereoregularity of 96 % (uu triad) and with an M(w) value of 1 000 000.     

Divalent osmium complexes: synthesis,characterization, strong red phosphorescence,and electrophosphorescence

We report new divalent osmium complexes that feature strong red metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) phosphorescence and electrophosphorescence. The general formula of the complexes is Os(II)(N-N)(2)L-L, where N-N is either a bipyridine or a phenanthroline and L-L is either a phosphine or an arsine. New polypyridyl ligands synthesized are 4,4'-di(biphenyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (15) and 4,4'-di(diphenyl ether)-2,2'-bipyridine (16), and the 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives synthesized are 4,7-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (17), 4,7-bis(p-bromophenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (18), 4,7-bis(4'-phenoxybiphen-4-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline (19), and 4,7-bis(4-naphth-2-ylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (20). 4,4'-Diphenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (21) and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (22) were also used in these studies. Strong pi-acid ligands used were 1,2-bis(diphenylarseno)ethane (23), cis-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene (24), and cis-1,2-vinylenebis(diphenylarsine) (25). Ligand 25 is used for the first time in these types of luminescent osmium complexes. These compounds feature strong MLCT absorption bands in the visible region and strong red phosphorescent emission ranging from 611 to 651 nm, with quantum efficiency up to 45% in ethanol solution at room temperature. Red organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were successfully fabricated by doping the Os(II) complexes into blend of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) and 2-tert-butylphenyl-5-biphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD). Brightness over 1400 cd/m(2) for a double-layer device has been reached, with a turn-on voltage of 8 V. The maximum external quantum efficiency was 0.64%. Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates (x, y) of the red electrophosphorescence from the complexes are (0.65, 0.34), which indicates pure red emission.     

Study of ion-association complexes used in spectrophotometric determination of iron

The following ion-association systems were investigated spectrophotometrically: Fe(2,2'-bipyridyl)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2); Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2); Fe(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)2; Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Benzyl Orange)2; Fe(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Benzyl Orange)(2). The molar absorptivities may be calculated with good precision on the basis of the spectra of the reacting species (iron chelate and dye anion), their stoichiometry and the degree of extraction. Analytically the most useful is the Fe(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)(Methyl Orange)(2) complex, molar absorptivity 4.83 x 10(4) 1. mole(-1) cm(-1) at 420 nm, but many metals (Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, Cd) form similar extractable complexes and interfere.     

A simple method for estimating activation energies using the fragmentation yield: Collision-induced dissociation of iron(II)-phenanthroline complexes in an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer

The gas-phase stabilities of Fe(Phi)3(2+) complexes, where Phi represents the 1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands were investigated by collision-induced dissociation (CID) in the capillary-first skimmer region upon changing the voltage difference between the capillary and the skimmer. The loss of only one ligand from the Fe(Phi)3(2+) complexes was observed with each of the phenanthroline ligands studied. An increase in the voltage difference between the capillary and the skimmer resulted in a higher fragmentation yield as calculated from the intensity of the precursor and the fragment ion. The fragmentation yield versus capillary-skimmer voltage difference plots were evaluated by means of the Arrhenius and the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel (RRK) model by fitting the model parameters to the experimental data. Both models yielded practically the same results. In addition, if the internal energy gained through the capillary-skimmer region is estimated correctly, the approximate value of the critical energy (activation energy) for fragmentation can be extracted from the fragmentation yield versus capillary-skimmer voltage difference plots. It was found that the gas-phase stabilities of the Fe(Phi)3(2+) complexes are nearly identical except for the more stable Fe(II)-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline complex. The critical energy for fragmentation was estimated to be approximately 1.2 and 0.9 eV for the Fe(II)- 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, and the other complexes, respectively.     

Oxidation of 4,7-phenanthroline derivatives

Oxidation of 1,3-diphenyl-4,7-phenanthroline with potassium permanganate in alkaline medium results in transformation of the 4,7-phenanthroline ring system into 1,8-diaazafluorenone. Oxidation of 12-aryl-and 12-aryl-9,9-dimethyl-8,9,10,12-tetrahydro-7H-benzo[b][4,7]phenanthrolin-11-ones (condensation products of 6-arylmethylene-aminoquinolines with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and dimedone) with sodium nitrite in acetic acid leads to 12-aryl-9,10-dihydro-8H-benzo[b][4,7]phenanthrolin-11-ones. 13-Aryl-7,13-dihydro-12H-indeno-[2,1-b][4,7]phenanthrolin-12-ones obtained by reaction of 6-arylmethyleneaminoquinolines with 1,3-indandione are oxidized to 13-aryl-12H-indeno[2,1-b][4,7]phenanthrolin-12-ones on heating in nitrobenzene.Translated from Zhurnal Organicheskoi Khimii, Vol. 40, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1369–1375.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Gusak, Kozlov, Tereshko.     

Efficient synthesis of 1,4,5,12-tetraazatriphenylene and derivatives

Condensation of 5,6-diamino-4,7-phenanthroline with glyoxal provides 1,4,5,12-tetraazatriphenylene in quantitative yield. This procedure avoids the 50% loss of product inherent in previous methods. Derivatives were also prepared by using alpha-dicarbonyl compounds other than glyoxal. Additional derivatives were prepared from 1,4,5,12-tetraazatriphenylene-2,3-dicarbonitrile, produced by condensation of diaminomaleonitrile with 4,7-phenanthroline-5,6-dione.     

Pulse radiolysis studies of 4,7-phenanthroline(II)

The one-electron reduction of 4,7-phenanthroline (P) in aqueous solutions at neutral pH has been further studied by pulse radiolysis. The spectral and kinetic properties of the transient formed due to the reaction of 4,7-phenanthroline with hydrated electron were investigated. The transient absorption spectrum obtained 5μs after the pulse exhibits a broad band with a λ_max at 420 nm. The λ_max is 10 nm blue shift compared with the absorption spectrum obtained at pH 2.9 where the reactant was the protonated form. The bimolecular'rate constant of the reaction of 4,7-phenanthroline with hydrated electron was 0etermined to be (2.2±0.1)×10¹⁰ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹. It was found that the decay of the transient was mainly following a first-order kinetics. The first-order decay rate constant was determined to be (1.25±0.1)×10⁴s⁻¹.

Several new pyridoquinolines with dimethylaminopropyl side chain including 4,7-bis(3′-dimethylaminopropylamino)-1,10-phenanthroline ( 1 ), 4,10-bis(3′-dimethylaminopropylamino)-1,7-phenanthroline ( 2 ), 4,10-bis(3′-dimethylaminopropylamino)-6-methyl-1,7-phenanthroline ( 3 ), 4,6-bis(3′-dimethylaminopropylamino)-10-methylpyrido[3,2-g]quinoline ( 4 ) and 4-(3′-dimethylaminopropyl)pyrrolo[lmn][4,7]phenanthroline (5) have been prepared. The compounds were prepared by a multi-step synthesis which begins with Michael type addition of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate to the appropriate phenylenediamine. The enamines obtained from the Michael addition were cyclized on heating at elevated temperatures to form the corresponding pyridoquinoline-diester-diones. The diester-diones were saponified decarboxylated and converted into dichloropyridoquinolines which on reaction with dimethylaminopropylamine yielded the title compounds.

Reissert compound studies. XXXVI. Observations on 1,7-, 4,6-, 4,7-, and 1,10-phenanthrolines

Reissert compounds have been prepared from 1,7-, 4,6-, and 4,7-phenanthrolines. In the case of 4,7-phenanthroline, both mono- and di-Reissert compounds have been prepared. A number of Reissert analogs have also been prepared in this series. 1,10-Phenanthroline fails to give a Reissert compound.     

DNA binding and biological activity of some platinum(II) intercalating compounds containing methyl-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines

This study documents the first detailed investigation into the relationship between molecular structure and biological activity of platinum(II) complexes containing methylated derivatives of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). A series of square planar platinum(II) compounds incorporating methylated derivatives of phen, 4-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4-Mephen), 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5-Mephen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-Me2phen), 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (5,6-Me2phen) and 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3,4,7,8-Me4phen) were synthesised and the relationship between their structure and biological activity investigated. The biological activity of these compounds was quantified using the in vitro cytotoxicity assay against the L1210 Murine leukaemia cell line. Large variation in cytotoxicities with different methylation was observed. The 5- and 5,6-methylated derivatives of phen displayed a greater biological activity, with IC50 values of 2.8 +/- 0.8 microM and 1.5 +/- 0.3 microM respectively, compared with the phen compound, with an IC50 value of 9.7 +/- 0.3 microM, while all the others were inactive with IC50 values over 50 microM. Binding constants were determined using circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD) and induced circular dichroism (ICD). ICD was used to highlight any differences in the spectra. Viscometry studies and linear dichroism (LD) experiments indicate that the platinum(II) complexes intercalate although for [Pt(en)(4-Mephen)]Cl2 and [Pt(en)(4,7-Me2phen)]Cl2 this mode of binding appears to be concentration dependent. The binding of the platinum(II) complexes to the oligonucleotide d(GTCGAC)2 was studied using two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. The addition of each metal complex to the hexamer d(GTCGAC)2 produced upfield shifts of the metal complex resonances, characteristic of intercalation. Through the observation of NOE cross-peaks, two-dimensional NMR studies provided insight into the site and groove preferences of these compounds when binding to DNA.

Spectrophotometeric measurements have been carried out to obtain the thermodynamic parameters. All complexes are enthalpy stabilized whereas the entropy changes counteract the adduct formation. The results are discussed in terms of different basicities of the bidentate N-donors.

A multicomponent reaction involving ethylenediaminepalladium(II), 2-pyrimidinol derivatives (L) [L=2-pyrimidinol (a); 4-methyl-2-pyrimidinol (b); 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinol (c)] and 4,7-phenanthroline (4,7-phen) leads to the formation of heterotopic cyclic metallamacrocycles of the type [Pdn(en)n(mu-N,N'-L)m(mu-N,N'-4,7-phen)n-m](2n-m)+ [n=3, m=1 (3); n=4, m=2 (4); n=6, m=4 (5)]. These species can be obtained by different reaction pathways, including: (i) reaction of ethylenediaminepalladium(ii), L and 4,7-phen building blocks and (ii) reaction of the homotopic species [Pd4(en)4(mu-N,N'-L)4]4+ (1) and [Pd3(en)3(mu-N,N'-4,7-phen)3]6+ (2). The resulting heterotopic metallamacrocycles have been characterised by 1D and 2D 1H NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, species 3c and 4a have been studied by X-ray crystallography. The former one contains almost isosceles triangles of [Pd3(en)3(mu-N,N'-4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinolate)(mu-N,N[prime or minute]-4,7-phen)2]5+ formulation, exhibiting a pinched-cone conformation. 4a contains a tetranuclear parallelogram [Pd4(en)4(mu-N,N'-2-pyrimidinolate)2(mu-N,N'-4,7-phenanthroline)2]6+, exhibiting a 1,3-alternate conformation. The host-guest properties of the here reported species have been studied, showing that they are able to interact with cationic as well as with anionic species.     

Selective hydrogen transfer reactions from alcohols to ketones promoted by rhodium complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline and related ligands

Substituted cyclohexanones are effectively reduced to the corresponding alcohols using propan-2-ol as hydrogen source and Rh(I) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and substituted derivatives as catalyst precursors.Rh(I) derivatives with phen, 4,7-Ph₂phen and 4,7-Mc₂phen (chel/Rh ⩾ 2) promote the preferential formation of the axial alcohol (substrate = 4-t-butylcyclohexanone), while the 4,7-(MeO)₂phen derivative gives in higher yield the equatorial isomer. Hindered substrates such as 2-methylcyclohexanone and 3,3,5-Me₃cyclohexanone are reduced to the corresponding axial alcohol with a selectivity ⩾ 98% (chel = 4,7-Me₂phen).

Spectrophotometric determination of dissolved oxygen with tris(4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II)

Tris(4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline)iron(II) reacts rapidly and quantitatively with dissolved oxygen in alkaline aqueous solution. In ammoniacal solution, the reaction is accompanied by the disappearance of the intense red colour of the iron(II) compound, which gives way to the pale gray, slightly-dissociated ion tris(4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthrolinefiron)(III). By measurement of the absorbance of a solution containing the ferrous compound before and after the injection of an oxygen-containing solution, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the sample can be accurately determined in the range 1-20 ppm.
