Chiral Recognition of Racemic Proline based on Chiral Macrocyclic Nickel(II) Complex: Synthesis and Crystal Structures

The reactions of dl‐proline with chiral macrocyclic Ni^II complex [Ni(SS‐L)](ClO₄)₂ in acetonitrile/water gave a six‐coordinate enantiomer formulated as [Ni(SS‐L)(l‐Pro)](ClO₄)₂ · H₂O ( 1 ). Another enantiomer of [Ni(RR‐L)(d‐Pro)](ClO₄)₂ · H₂O ( 2 ) was obtained when [Ni(RR‐L)](ClO₄)₂ was used (L = 5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane, Pro = proline). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of complexes 1 and 2 revealed that the Ni^II atom has a distorted octahedral coordination arrangement, being coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of L in a folded configuration, plus two carboxylate oxygen atoms of proline in mutually cis positions. Complexes 1 and 2 are supramolecular stereoisomers, which are constructed with hydrogen bonding linking of [Ni(SS‐L)(l‐Pro)]²⁺ and [Ni(RR‐L)(d‐Pro)]²⁺ monomers to form one‐dimensional zigzag chains. The homochiral natures of complexes 1 and 2 were confirmed by solid CD spectroscopy.     

以手性相转移催化剂为配体的单分子Cu (II)配合物及其不对称催化反应

在加热条件下,手性相转移催化剂氯化- N -（4-乙烯基苄基）辛可尼定（L1）与氯化铜在2-丁醇中反应,可得到一个单一手性的二价铜单分子配合物 N -（4-乙烯基苄基）辛可尼定三氯化铜(1)。配合物（1）和配体(L1)都可用于催化 N -（二苯基亚甲基）氨基乙酸叔丁基酯（3）烷基化反应,催化结果表明：使用配合物N-（4-乙烯基苄基）辛可尼定三氯化铜的反应对映体选择性比使用配体的更高,配合物催化能力的提高可能与配合物中喹啉环的N原子与铜配位、分子刚性增加有关。     

An In Situ Generated Achiral Cu(II)‐Containing Polymer Complex Sensor for Enantioselective Recognition Induced from L‐/D‐Histidine Enantiomers

A novel achiral polymer P‐1 is synthesized by the polymerization of (2,5‐bis(octyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylene)diboronic acid ( M‐1 ) with pyridine‐2,6‐diylbis(methanylylidene)bis(4‐iodoaniline) ( M‐2 ) via Pd‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling reaction. The tridentate ligand in the main chain backbone can further coordinate with Cu²⁺ to afford the corresponding achiral copper‐containing polymer complex P‐2 , which selectively responds to L‐/D‐histidine with significant fluorescence enhancement over other amino acids. Interestingly, P‐2 exhibits obvious CD response toward L‐ or D‐histidine compared with its model compound MC , indicating that this kind Cu(II)‐containing polymer complex sensor can be used as an effective chemosensor for enantioselective recognition of histidine enantiomers by means of CD spectroscopy.

     

Excitation Induced Emission Color Change Based on Eu(III)‐Zn(II)‐containing Polymer Complex

A novel polymer P‐1 is prepared by the reaction of the monomer 5,5′‐divinyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine and Salen‐Zn(II) via Heck cross coupling. Interestingly, P‐1 can further incorporate with Eu(TTA)₃·2H₂O to generate copolymer P‐2 with two different metal centers. P‐2 exhibits exceptional dual emissive properties which can be tuned by excitation wavelength. For example, an orange fluorescence can be obtained when P‐2 is excited at 430 nm, whereas a red emission with a huge Stoke shift of 57 nm is observed when it is excited at 345 nm. The high wavelength emission can be attributed to Eu(III) (⁵D₀→⁷F₂), which is lit by an effective photoinduced energy transfer process between P‐1 and the Eu(TTA)₃ complex. The properties of P‐2 have led to a better understanding of the energy transfer process between P‐1 and Eu(TTA)₃ moieties.

Preparation, Crystal Structure and Properties of a Pentametallic 3-Ferrocenyl-2-crotonic acid-Bridged Copper（Ⅱ） Complex

The synthesis and characterization of the copper (II) complex [Cu₂(OOCCH = C(CH₃)Fc)₃(phen)₂]CIO₄ · 2H₂O (1) are reported. The structure of the complex was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group Pc, with Z =2, a = 1.2799(4) nm, b =0.9969 (4) nm, c = 2.5228 nm, and β = 91.576 (1) °. The cationic part of 1 indicates a penametallic core in which three 3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐crotonic acid salt (FCA) groups act as (O, O') bridging ligands between two copper (II) ions with a square‐pyramidal environment. Cyclic voltammetric experiments in acetonitrile have been performed mainly to examine the Fe(II) → Fe(III) one‐electron oxidation in FCA and its complex. The variable‐temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed very weak intramolecular anti‐ferromagnetic coupling. Fitting parameters are 2J = ‐0.2 cm^?1, g = 2.114, and θ = 0K.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and infrared spectra of Cu(II) and Co(II) complexes with 4,4′‐dichloro‐2,2′‐[ethylene dioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol

Novel 4,4′‐dichloro‐2,2′‐[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol (H₂L) and its complexes [CuL] and {[CoL(THF)]₂(OAc)₂Co} have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H‐NMR and X‐ray crystallography. [CuL] forms a mononuclear structure which may be stabilized by the intermolecular contacts between copper atom (Cu) and oxygen atom (O3) to form a head‐to‐tail dimer. In {[CoL(THF)]₂(OAc)₂Co}, two acetates coordinate to three cobalt ions through Co? O? C? O? Co bridges and four µ‐phenoxo oxygen atoms from two [CoL(THF)] units also coordinate to cobalt ions.

ESR spectra studies of Cu(Ⅱ) 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde tyrosine complex

A novel Schiff base derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and tyrosine and its copper(Ⅱ)complex have been synthesized and characterized.The composition of the complex is K[CuL] H2O,where L=H11C16NO5.ESR spectra of the copper(Ⅱ)complex were investigated at different temperatures and in various solvents.The second order effect and the relaxation effect were observed in the solution spectrum at room temperature,which was satisfactorily explained by spin Hamiltonian.The bonding parameters of copper(Ⅱ)complex were calculated using spectral parameters from ESR spectra at low temperature.Its bonding characterization and stability were disscussed.The result shows that the in-plane a-bond and the in-plane π-bond in the complex all play an important role.     

Cu(II)‐promoted cyclization of hydrazonophthalazine to triazolophthalazine; Synthesis and structure diversity of six novel Cu(II)‐triazolophthalazine complexes

A novel route for the synthesis of Cu(II)‐triazolophthalazine complexes using the Cu(II)‐promoted cyclization dehydrogenation reactions of hydrazonophthalazines under reflux was presented. Two hydrazonophthalazines were cyclized to the corresponding triazolophthalazine ligands, 3‐pyridin‐2‐yl‐3,10b‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐a]phthalazine ( TPP ) and 3‐(3,10b‐dihydro‐[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4‐a]phthalazin‐3‐yl)‐benzoic acid ( TP3COOH ), followed by in situ complexation with Cu(II) yielding six novel Cu(II)‐triazolophthalazine complexes depending on the reaction conditions. The molecular and supramolecular structures of the Cu(II)‐triazolophthalazine complexes were discussed. The metal sites have rectangular pyramidal geometry in the [Cu(TPP)Cl₂]₂; 1 and [Cu(TP3COOEt)Cl₂(H₂O)]₂; 4 dinuclear complexes, distorted square planar in [Cu(TP3COOMe)₂Cl₂]; 3 , [Cu(TP3COOH)₂Cl₂]; 5 and [Cu(TP3COOH)₂Cl₂]·H₂O; 6 and a distorted octahedral in [Cu(TPP)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂]; 2 . Hirshfeld analysis showed that the O…H, C…H, Cl…H (except TP3COOH and 2 ), N…H and π‐π stacking interactions are the most important intermolecular contacts. The π‐π stacking interactions are the maximum for TP3COOH and complex 6 with net C…C/C…N contacts of 19.4% and 15.4%, respectively. The orbital–orbital interaction energies of the Cu‐N/Cu‐Cl bonds correlated inversely with the corresponding Cu‐N/Cu‐Cl distances, respectively. The charge transfer processes between Cu(II) and ligand groups were also discussed. The charge densities of the Cu(II) centers are reduced to 0.663–0.995 e due to the interactions with the ligand groups coordinating it.     

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxicity of Pt(II), Pd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 4’‐substituted terpyridine

Eight novel Pt(II), Pd(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 4’‐substituted terpyridine were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV, IR, NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance, high‐resolution mass spectrometry and molar conductivity measurements. The cytotoxicity of these complexes against HL‐60, BGC‐823, KB and Bel‐7402 cell lines was evaluated by MTT assay. All the complexes displayed cytotoxicity with low IC₅₀ values (<20 μm ) and showed selectivity. Complexes 3 , 5 , 7 and 8 exerted 9‐, 5‐, 12‐ and 7‐fold higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against Bel‐7402 cell line. The cytotoxicity of complexes 3 , 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 was higher than that of cisplatin against BGC‐823 cell line. Complexes 3 , 7 and 8 showed similar cytotoxicity to cisplatin against KB cell line. Complex 7 exhibited higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against HL‐60 cell line. Among these complexes, complex 7 demonstrated the highest in vitro cytotoxicity, with IC₅₀ values of 1.62, 3.59, 2.28 and 0.63 μm against HL‐60, BGC‐823, Bel‐7402 and KB cells lines, respectively. The results suggest that the cytotoxicity of these complexes is related to the nature of the terminal group of the ligand, the metal center and the leaving groups.

Chiral Recognition of Penicillamine Enantiomers Based on DNA‐MWNT Complex Modified Electrode

Double‐stranded DNA and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) complex modified glassy carbon electrodes (DNA‐MWNT‐GCE) were employed to discriminate penicillamine (PA) enantiomers. Cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the enantioselective phenomenon. The results indicated that the binding effect between L ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs was stronger than that of D ‐PA and DNA‐MWNTs. In addition, the influencing factors of the modified electrodes were systematically investigated. The modified electrodes exhibited a linear response towards PA enantiomers from 1.0×10^?1 to 1.0×10^?8 mol L^?1 and detection limits of 3.1×10^?9 and 3.3×10^?8 mol L^?1 for L ‐PA and D ‐PA, respectively.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Macrocyclic Cu（Ⅱ） Complexes from Various Diamines, Copper（Ⅱ） Nitrate and 1,4-Bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane

Six new macrocyclic complexes were synthesized by a template reaction of 1,4-bis（2-formylphenoxy）butane with diamines and Cu（NO3）2·3H2O and their structures were proposed on the basis of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar conductivity measurements and mass spectra. The metal to ligand molar ratios of the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes were found to be 1 ： 1. The Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are 1 ： 2 electrolytes as shown by their molar conductivities （∧m） in DMF at 10^-3 mol·L^-1. Due to the existence of free ions the Cu（Ⅱ） complexes are electrically conductive. Their configurations were proposed to be probably distorted octahedral.     

Fluorescent Recognition of Small Organic Molecules Based on Supramolecular Aggregation/Deaggregation of Planar Cu(II) Coordination Complex

A Cu(II) coordination complex ( 1 ) with Schiff ligand derived from diaminomaleonitrile was synthesized and characterized, in which the ligand is rigid, planar and conjugated. The complex 1 displays an interesting fluorescent property relative to solvents which can be turned‐on by CH₂Cl₂ and CHCl₃ solvent molecules. The mechanism of this selective fluorescence emission has been studied based on the crystal structure and the spectrum analysis. The tuning on and off fluorescence of complex 1 can be controlled by the process of supramolecular aggregation/deaggregation in different solvents.     

Electrocatalytic reduction of Molecular Oxygen with a Copper (II) Coordination Polymer

Oxygen reduction at the polarized water/1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface catalyzed by a Cu (II) coordination polymer (Cu–pol) was studied with two lipophilic electron donors ferrocene (Fc) and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF). The results of the ion transfer voltammetry and two-phase shake flask experiments suggest proceeding of the catalytic reaction as proton-coupled electron transfer reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and water. In this process, while the protons supplied from the aqueous phase, the electrons provided from the organic phase by the weak electron donor, Fc. The O₂ molecule takes a superoxide structure with Cu–pol which resulted to hydrogen peroxide or water on reduction. Furthermore, the results revealed that the apparent rate constant of TTF + Cu-pol is higher than that of Fc + Cu-pol system due to the faster kinetic reaction of TTF with respect to Fc.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Copper(II) and Silver Complexes with 5‐Methyl‐1‐(4‐Methylphenyl)‐1,2,3‐Triazol‐4‐Carboxylic Acid

Two novel complexes [Cu L ₂(MeOH)] ( 1 )and [Ag₂ L (H L )₂(MeOH)] ( 2 ) ( L = 5‐methyl‐1‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐carboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X‐ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a mononuclear structure; the molecules were assembled into an infinite 2–D supramolecular by the C–H···O weak interactions. Complex 2 is a centrosymmetric dinuclear structure with bis(unidentate) carboxylato co‐ordination mode, and the molecules were assembled into 2–D layers by C–H···O and O–H···O weak interactions.
