Cobalt(III) Complexes of D‐Galactosylamine

The β‐pyranose isomer of D ‐galactosylamine ( 1 ) formed complexes with three different cobalt(III) fragments. Crystals containing the dication [Co(tren)(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 3 ) showed coordination through the anomeric amino group (N1) and the deprotonated hydroxy group (O2) of the ⁴C₁ β‐pyranose form, which is also the major isomer of free galactosylamine. The cationic complexes [Co(fac‐dien)(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 4 ) and [Co(phen)₂(β‐D ‐Galp1N2H_–1‐κ²N¹,O²)]²⁺ ( 5 ) were analysed by NMR spectroscopy and showed the same coordination mode as 3 . In terms of available ligand isomers it was shown that 1 exhibits an anomeric equilibrium in solution of both pyranose and both furanose forms as is typical for the parent glycose, galactose.

pH‐Controlled Multiple Chiral Inversion That Induces Molecular Dimerization in a Gold(I)–Cobalt(III) Coordination System with L‐Cysteinate

Herein, a unique coordination system that exhibits multiple chiral inversions and molecular dimerization in response to a subtle pH change is reported. Treatment of (Δ)₂‐H₃[Au₃Co₂(L ‐cys)₆] (H₃[ 1 a ]) with [Co₃(aet)₆](NO₃)₃ (aet=2‐aminoethanethiolate) in water at pH 7 gave a 1:1 complex salt of [Co₃(aet)₆]³⁺ and [ 1 a ]^3?, retaining the Au^I₃Co^III₂ structure and chiral configurations of [ 1 a ]^3?. Similar treatment at pH 9 led to not only the inversion of all of the chiral Co^III and S centers but also the dimerization of [ 1 a ]^3?, giving a 2:1 complex salt of [Co₃(aet)₆]³⁺ and (Λ)₄(R)₁₂‐[Au₆Co₄(L ‐cys)₁₂]^6? ([ 2 ]^6?). When dissociated from [Co₃(aet)₆]³⁺ in solution, [ 2 ]^6? was converted to (Λ)₂(R)₆‐[Au₃Co₂(L ‐cys)₆]^3? ([ 1 b ]^3?) with retention of the chiral configurations.     

A Coordination Polymer from HAMTTO with Silver(I) (HAMTTO = 4‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐thione‐5‐one)

The reaction of 4‐amino‐6‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐thione‐5‐one, HAMTTO, with silver (I) nitrate in methanol led under deprotonation to the polymeric compound [(AMTTO)Ag]_n. The coordination polymer {[Ag(HAMTTO)]ClO₄}_n ( 1 ) is synthesized from the reaction of the latter polymeric compound with perchloric acid. Both compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies on compound 1 showed that HAMTTO acts as a bidentate ligand and chelates the silver atom via its hydrazine nitrogen atom and its sulfur atom. Crystal data for 1 at ?90 °C: space group P2₁, Z = 2, a = 629.3(1), b = 748.7(1), c = 1071.7(1) pm, β = 98.28(1)°, R₁ = 0.0533.     

Controlled Orthogonal Self‐Assembly of Heterometal‐Decorated Coordination Cages

Multiple orthogonal coordinative interactions were utilized to construct heterometal‐decorated tetrahedral cages from in situ formed trinuclear Zr^IV clusters through the combination with other metal ions such as Cu^II or Pd^II. Through effective use of the hard/soft acid/base principle, the orthogonal self‐assembly process of Zr‐bpydc‐CuCl₂ (H₂bpydc=2,2‐bipyridine‐5,5‐dicarboxylic acid) can be finely controlled using three strategies: post‐synthetic metallization, a stepwise metalloligand approach, or a one‐pot reaction.

A Novel Light‐Emitting Mixed‐Ligand Iridium(III) Complex with a Terpyridine‐Poly(ethylene glycol) Macroligand

Summary : A monoterpyridine‐poly(ethylene glycol) (mono‐tpy‐PEG) and a novel monoterpyridine‐PEG‐functionalized iridium(III ) complex were successfully synthesized and fully characterized by means of NMR, IR, and UV‐vis spectroscopy, as well as gel permeation chromatography and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. The functionalized monoterpyridine iridium(III ) complex was synthesized by a bridge‐splitting reaction of a dimeric iridium(III ) precursor complex using a chelating terpyridine ligand with a poly(ethylene glycol) tail. With this approach, a new class of light‐emitting polymeric materials revealing interesting optical properties was made avaialable.

Upon excitation of a spin‐coated film of the iridium(III ) complex prepared here, a yellow emission color (two bands in figure) was observed.

Controlled Formation of Thiol‐Thiolate Hydrogen versus Disulfide Bonds between Two Iridium(III) Centers

Here, we report an iridium(III) coordination system with 2‐aminoethanethiolate (aet), which shows the formation of S?H???S hydrogen and S?S disulfide bonds in a controlled manner. Treatment of fac‐[Ir(aet)₃] with aqueous HBF₄ under aerobic conditions gave dinuclear [Ir₂(aet)₄(cysta)]²⁺ ([ 1 ]²⁺; cysta=cystamine) with a single S?S disulfide bond, while dimeric [Ir₂(aet)₃(Haet)₃](BF₄)₃ ([ 2 ](BF₄)₃) with a triple S?H???S hydrogen bond was formed by similar treatment under anaerobic conditions. Upon exposure to air, [ 2 ]³⁺ was converted to dinuclear [Ir₂(aet)₂(Haet)₂(cysta)]⁴⁺ ([ 3 ]⁴⁺), in which two Ir^III centers are spanned by a double S?H???S hydrogen bond and a single S?S disulfide bond. Complex [ 3 ]⁴⁺ was interconvertible with [ 1 ]²⁺ via the removal/addition of protons on S donors, accompanied by the intermolecular exchange of the fac‐[Ir(aet)₃] units. Complexes [ 1 ]²⁺, [ 2 ]³⁺, and [ 3 ]⁴⁺, isolated as BF₄^? salts, were fully characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography.
