The novel mixed-ligand metal succinate (suc) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and ethylenediamine (en) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic moments, UV-VIS and IR spectra. Thermal reactivity of the complexes was studied in air using DTA and TG, and decomposition of the complexes resulted in the formation of corresponding metal oxides.

Coupling of 3,8-Dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline with 3,5-Diethynylheptyloxybenzene: A Suzuki/Miyaura Versus a Sonogashira Perspective

Abstract

We report a new application of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction whereas two bifunctional reactants, 3,8-dibromo-1,10-phenanthroline and 3,5-diethynylheptyloxylbenzene (9), yield 3,8-bis(3-ethynyl-5-heptyloxyphenylethynyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (2) efficiently (74% yield) without polymerization. This was achieved by reacting a stoichiometric amount of 9 and (Me₃Si)₂NLi to obtain quantitatively the monoacetylide anion of 9 (10). The latter was activated with B-methoxy-9-BBN and reacted in analogy to the alkynyl copper complex of a Sonogashira route. However, in the Sonogashira reaction, the alkynyl copper complex is present in small equilibrium concentrations and polymerization takes place even when reagents are mixed slowly. Actually the Sonogashira route gave no desired product 2, as the latter polymerizes easily via homo-coupling in the presence of air and Cu(I).     

A new ternary Cu (II) complex with 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and NOO-type tridentate Schiff base ligand: Synthesis,crystal structure,biomacromolecular interactions,and radical scavenging activities

NOO-type tridentate Schiff base, N-salicylidene-2-aminobenzoic acid, (H₂L), and its ternary Cu (II) complex containing H₂L Schiff base and 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4,7-dmphen), [Cu(4,7-dmphen)(H₂L)]₂7H₂O, have been synthesized and characterized by CHN analysis, ESI-MS, FTIR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The interaction of alone H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex with biomacramolecules {calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA)} has been investigated by electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex bind to CT-DNA by means of a moderate intercalation mode. Furthermore, the fluorescence quenching mechanism between H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex with BSA possesses a static quenching process. Radical scavenging activity of H₂L Schiff base ligand and ternary Cu (II) complex was measured in terms of EC₅₀, using the DPPH and H₂O₂ methods. Biomacromolecule interactions and scavenging activity studies revealed that ternary Cu (II) complex yielded better results than H₂L Schiff base ligand alone.

CuII@PAA/PVC mesoporous fibers: A hybrid wedding as a high-performance versatile heterogeneous catalyst for A3, KA2, and decarboxylative A3 reactions

Efforts made on the development of a novel, simple, cost-effective, and efficient approach to fabricate a copper catalyst immobilized on mesoporous poly (acrylic acid)/poly (vinyl chloride) hybrid fibers (Cu^II@PAA/PVC) for versatile catalytic applications in A₃, KA₂, and decarboxylative A₃ couplings has been described in this present work. The characterization of the mesoporous hybrid fibers was well performed by BET, FTIR, SEM, EDX, XPS, and TGA techniques. The pore structure and surface area were calculated by using BET measurement analysis. The obtained mesoporous Cu^II@PAA/PVC fibers exert high catalytic performance in the synthesis of propargylamines via one-pot A₃, KA₂, and decarboxylative A₃ reactions over a series of substrates without employing expensive ligands or inert atmosphere. The active Cu²⁺ species chelating with carboxylate groups in PAA/PVC hybrid fibers plays a key role in the catalysis. Meanwhile, the unique mesoporous structure and fiber morphology facilitate a better mass transfer and enlarge its contact area with substrates in the course of a reaction. Moreover, the Cu²⁺–carboxylate chelation could suppress the leaching of active Cu²⁺ species from the catalyst and thus lead to the catalyst has excellent performance and good durability as well as reusability.     

A new flow-injection determination of glucose based on the redox reaction of hydroquinone with iron(III) in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline

A new spectrophotometric flow-injection (FI) method is proposed for the determination of glucose based on the redox reaction of hydroquinone with iron(III). When a glucose solution containing quinone is passed through the immobilized glucose oxidase column introduced in FI system, quinone is reduced to hydroquinone by glucose. In the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), iron(III) is then quantitatively reduced by hydroquinone to iron(II) followed by the formation of iron(II)-phen complex (λ_max=510 nm). An FI peak observed at 510 nm corresponds to the concentration of glucose. The wide dynamic range for glucose was obtained in the range of 1×10⁻⁶–1×10⁻³ mol l⁻¹ at a sampling rate of 24 h⁻¹ and the detection limit (S/N=3) was 5×10⁻⁷ mol l⁻¹. Relative standard deviations were 0.78, 0.44 and 0.23% (n=5) for 5×10⁻⁶, 5×10⁻⁵ and 5×10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹ of glucose, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in control blood sera, human blood plasma and wine.     

Synthesis and characterization of [Cu(NHC)2]X complexes: catalytic and mechanistic studies of hydrosilylation reactions

The preparation of two series of [Cu(NHC)2]X complexes (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene, X=PF6 or BF4) in high yields from readily available materials is reported. These complexes have been spectroscopically and structurally characterized. The activity of these cationic bis-NHC complexes in the hydrosilylation of ketones was examined, and both the ligand and the counterion showed a significant influence on the catalytic performance. Moreover, when compared with related [Cu(NHC)]-based systems, these cationic complexes proved to be more efficient under similar reaction conditions. The activation step of [Cu(NHC)2]X precatalysts towards hydrosilylation was investigated by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. Notably, it was shown that one of the N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) ligands in [Cu(IPr)2]BF4 is displaced by tBuO(-) in the presence of NaOtBu, producing the neutral [Cu(IPr)(OtBu)]. This copper alkoxide is known to be a direct precursor of an NHC-copper hydride, the actual active species in this transformation. Furthermore, reagent loading and counterion effects have been rationalized in light of the species formed during the reaction.     

Preparation of a palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing bulky phosphine ligand: Its application in palladium catalyzed Suzuki reactions

A palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing phosphine ligand, {(μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-Cl)}₂ (3), was prepared from the reaction of its monomer precursor, (μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-OAc) (2), with LiCl. The crystal structure of 3, determined by X-ray diffraction methods, revealed a doubly chloride-bridged palladium dimeric conformation. Suzuki coupling reactions of bromobenzene with phenylboronic acid were carried out catalytically using these two novel palladium complexes 2 and 3 as catalyst precursors. Factors such as the molar ratio of substrate/catalyst, reaction temperature, base and solvent that might affect the catalytic efficiencies were investigated. As a general rule, the performance is much better by employing 3 than 2 as the catalyst precursor.     

Highly Efficient Triplet Photosensitizers: A Systematic Approach to the Application of IrIII Complexes containing Extended Phenanthrolines

A series of Ir^III complexes, based on 1,10‐phenanthroline featuring aryl acetylene chromophores, were prepared and investigated as triplet photosensitizers. The complexes were synthesized by Sonogashira cross‐coupling reactions using a “chemistry‐on‐the‐complex” method. The absorption properties and luminescence lifetimes were successfully tuned by controlling the number and type of light‐harvesting group. Intense UV/Vis absorption was observed for the Ir^III complexes with two light‐harvesting groups at the 3‐ and 8‐positions of the phenanthroline. The asymmetric Ir^III complex (with a triphenylamine (TPA) and a pyrene moiety attached) exhibited the longest lifetime. Red emission was observed for all the complexes in deaerated solutions at room temperature. Their emission at low temperature (77 K) and nanosecond time‐resolved transient difference absorption spectra revealed the origin of their triplet excited states. The singlet‐oxygen (¹O₂) sensitization and triplet‐triplet annihilation (TTA)‐based upconversion were explored. Highly efficient TTA upconversion (Φ_UC=28.1 %) and ¹O₂ sensitization (Φ_Δ=97.0 %) were achieved for the asymmetric Ir^III complex, which showed intense absorption in the visible region (λ_abs=482 nm, ?=50900 m ^?1 cm^?1) and had a long‐lived triplet excited state (53.3 μs at RT).
