Synthesis,Structure, and Supramolecular Chemistry of Three Azide Manganese Complexes with 2, 6‐Bis(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine

Three azide complexes with the tridentate ligand 2, 6‐bis(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine (H₂BBIP) were synthesized and their complicated supramolecular interactions were investigated with single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Interestingly, the complexes are assembled by bifurcated hydrogen bonding, double helical π–π stacking, or anion–π stacking interactions of the benzimidazole rings by tuning the reaction conditions (temperature, ratio, solvent). Complex 1 is a mononuclear compound, namely, Mn(H₂BBIP)N₃(CH₃O) · CH₃OH. In its 3D supramolecular network, the nitrogen atom of the azide anion is acting as hydrogen bonding bifurcated acceptor. Complex 2 is a dinuclear compound, namely, Mn₂(H₂BBIP)₂(N₃)₂ · (H₂O)_0.5. The dinuclear unit is connected by intramolecular π–π stacking interactions. Furthermore, double helical π–π stacking interactions in the benzimidazole rings are observed. Complex 3 , Mn₂(H₂BBIP)₂(N₃)₂ · CH₃OH, can be formulated as a pseudopolymorph of complex 2 , which exhibits intramolecular π–π stacking interactions as well as anion–π interactions in the dinuclear unit.

A differentially selective sensor with fluorescence turn-on response to Zn2+ and dual-mode ratiometric response to Al3+ in aqueous media

A novel quinoline-coumarin (QC) fluoroionophore conjugated by means of a triazolyl-pyrrolidinyl linker exhibits differential dual selectivity for Zn(2+) and Al(3+) in mixed media. QC acts as a turn on fluorescence sensor for Zn(2+) while exhibiting overall ratiometric selectivity for Al(3+) in aqueous media. Moreover, QC exhibited preferential second mode of selectivity for Al(3+) as it ratiometrically displaces Zn(2+) from the [QC + Zn(2+)] complex.     

Intensely blue-fluorescent 2,5-bis(benzoimidazol-2-yl)pyrazine dyes with improved solubility: their synthesis, fluorescent properties, and application as microenvironment polarity probes

In order to improve the solubility of intensively fluorescent 2,5-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrazine (BBIP), we synthesized new BBIP derivatives (2, 3a,b, and 5a,b) possessing two alkyl chains at the N-1 and N-1′ positions of the two benzimidazole moieties. Characterization of these compounds demonstrated that they exhibit high fluorescence intensity even in protic solvents, as well as solvatochromic fluorescence, in which their fluorescence maxima in aqueous methanol exhibited bathochromic shift with increasing ?_r value of the medium. We utilized 5a as a microenvironment polarity probe to indicate the variation in polarity around the backbone of the temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) by measuring the spectral change caused by the thermal phase transition of the polymer.

Luminescence of Tb3+ and Eu3+ doped amorphous zinc benzoates

The Tb(3+) and Eu(3+) doped amorphous zinc benzoate were prepared. Their infrared absorption, emission and excitation spectra were measured. The luminescence mechanisms of Tb(3+) and Eu(3+) in the amorphous substrate were discussed. The bonding modes of OCO group to Zn(2+) ion have two of symmetric and asymmetric bridging bidentate. The energy of the S(1) pi,pi* excited state of benzene ring can be transferred to Tb(3+) and Eu(3+) ion, and results in characteristic emission from the 5D(4)-->(7)F(j) of Tb(3+) and 5D(0)-->(7)F(j) of Eu(3+), respectively.     

Preparation and Characterization of the Antibacterial Zn2+ or/and Ce3+ Loaded Montmorillonites

A series of modified montmorillonites including Zn²⁺ loaded montmorillonite (Zn/MMT), Ce³⁺ loaded montmorillonite (Ce/MMT) and Zn²⁺‐Ce³⁺ loaded montmorillonites (Zn‐Ce/MMT) were prepared by an ion‐exchange reaction, and characterized using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The specific surface areas, zeta potentials and antibacterial activity of the modified montmorillonites were also investigated. Zinc and cerium were proved to be present as bivalent zinc state and trivalent cerium state in the modified montmorillonites. For the modified montmorillonites, the d₀₀₁ basal spacings increased and the particles were formed of irregular shapes. The antibacterial activity of the modified montmorillonites was enhanced with the increase of specific surface areas and zeta potentials, and Zn²⁺‐Ce³⁺ loaded montmorillonites displayed obvious synergistic antibacterial effect. When Zn/Ce atomic ratio was 1.24, the Zn‐Ce/MMT showed high antibacterial efficiency and broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity, possessing the MIC against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans and Mucor of 1500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg·L^?1, respectively.

A 1,8-naphthyridine-based fluorescent chemodosimeter for the rapid detection of Zn2+ and Cu2+

A novel fluorescent chemodosimeter based on 1,8-naphthyridine exhibits high selectivity to Zn(2+) and Cu(2+). When 1-(7-acetamino-1,8-naphthyridyl)-2-(6-diacetaminopyridyl)ethene was mixed with CuCl2, hydrolysis of the acetamino group catalyzed by Cu(2+) complex was first observed. Resulting from coordination and hydrolysis catalyzed by the corresponding complex of Zn(2+) or Cu(2+), the highly effective fluorescent detection of Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) is realized with Zn(2+)-selective dual-emission and Cu(2+)-selective ON-OFF behavior.     

Mechanistic studies of La3+- and Zn2+-catalyzed methanolysis of aryl phosphate and phosphorothioate triesters. Development of artificial phosphotriesterase systems

The methanolyses of a series of O,O-diethyl O-aryl phosphates (2,5) and O,O-diethyl S-aryl phosphorothioates (6) promoted by methoxide and two metal ion systems, (La3+)2(-OCH3)2 and 4:Zn2+:-OCH3 (4 = 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane) has been studied in methanol at 25 degrees C. Br?nsted plots of the logk2 values vs. pKa for the phenol leaving groups give beta(lg) values of -0.70, -1.43 and -1.12 for the methanolysis of the phosphates and -0.63, -0.87 and -0.74 for the methanolysis of the phosphorothioates promoted by the methoxide, La3+ and Zn2+ systems respectively. The kinetic data for the metal-catalyzed reactions are analyzed in terms of a common mechanism where there is extensive cleavage of the P-XAr bond in the rate-limiting transition state. The relevance of these findings to the mechanism of action of the phosphotriesterase enzyme is discussed.     

Effects of Ca2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ on uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase and beta-glucuronidase activities in rat liver microsomes

The effect of various metals on uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronyltransferase and beta-glucuronidase activities in rat liver microsomes was investigated. The presence of Mn2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, V5+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cu+ or Ca2+ (20 microM) in the enzyme reaction mixture did not cause a significant alteration of UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity in hepatic microsomes. Of these metals, Zn2+ and Cd2+ (20 microM) caused a remarkable increase in hepatic microsomal beta-glucuronidase activity. Appreciable effects of Zn2+ and Cd2+ on beta-glucuronidase activity were seen at 5.0 microM, and the effects were saturated at 50 microM. Ca2+ (5.0-50 microM) and/or the Ca2(+)-binding protein regucalcin (2.0 microM) did not have an appreciable effect on UDP-glucuronyltransferase and beta-glucuronidase activities in hepatic microsomes. Thus, Zn2+ and Cd2+ uniquely increased beta-glucuronidase activity. The Zn2(+)- and Cd2(+)-induced increase in beta-glucuronidase activity was completely reversed by the presence of an SH group-protecting reagent (dithiothreitol). The response of the microsomal enzyme to Zn2+ and Cd2+ (20 microM) was no longer seen after treatment with 0.2% Triton X-100 [polyoxyethylene(10)octylphenyl ether], indicating that the stimulation by these metals is dependent on membrane association. The present study suggests that, of various metals tested, Zn2+ and Cd2+ can uniquely increase hepatic microsomal beta-glucuronidase activity and that their effect is based on binding to membranous SH groups, beside the enzyme protein.     

Mechanistic studies of La3+ and Zn2+-catalyzed methanolysis of O-ethyl O-aryl methylphosphonate esters. An effective solvolytic method for the catalytic destruction of phosphonate CW simulants

The kinetics of methanolysis of six O-ethyl O-aryl methylphosphonates (6a-f) promoted by methoxide, La3+ and 1,5,9-triazacyclododecane complex of Zn2+(-OCH3) (5:Zn2+(-OCH3)) were studied as simulants for chemical warfare (CW) agents, and analyzed through the use of Br?nsted plots. The beta(lg) values are, respectively, -0.76, -1.26 and -1.06, pointing to significant weakening of the P-OAr bond in the transition state. For the metal-catalyzed reactions the data are consistent with a concerted process where the P-OAr bond rupture has progressed to the extent of 84% in the La3+ reaction and ca. 70% in the Zn2+ catalyzed reaction. The catalysis afforded by the metal ions is remarkable, being about 10(6)-fold and 10(8)-fold for poor and good leaving groups, respectively, relative to the background reactions at pH 9.1. Solvent deuterium kinetic isotope studies for two of the substrates promoted by 5:Zn2+(-OCH3) give kH/kD = 1.0 +/- 0.1, consistent with a nucleophilic mechanism. A unified mechanism for the metal-catalyzed reactions is presented which involves pre-equilibrium coordination of the substrate to the metal ion followed by intramolecular delivery of a coordinated methoxide.     

Development and applications of fluorescent indicators for Mg2+ and Zn2+

In a study of the spectroscopic behavior of two Schiff base derivatives, salicylaldehyde salicylhydrazone (1) and salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazone (2), Schiff base 1 has high selectivity for Zn(2+) ion not only in abiotic systems but also in living cells. The ion selectivity of 1 for Zn(2+) can be switched for Mg(2+) by swapping the solvent from ethanol-water to DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide)-water mixtures. Imine 2 is a good fluorescent probe for Zn(2+) in ethanol-water media. Many other ions tested, such as Li(+), Na(+), Al(3+), K(+), Ca(2+), Cr(3+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+), Ag(+), Cd(2+), Sn(2+), Ba(2+), Hg(2+), and Pb(2+), failed to induce any spectral change in various solvents. The selectivity mechanism of 1 and 2 for metal ions is based on a combinational effect of proton transfer (ESPT), C═N isomerization, and chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF). The coordination modes of the complexes were investigated.     

Luminescent sensing of Fe3+ and K+ by three novel imidazole dicarboxylate-based MOFs

In this paper, three luminescent metal–organic frameworks, namely: [Zn(p-IPhHIDC)]_n (1), {[Cd(p-IPhIDC)(H₂O)]·CH₃OH}_n (2) and [Zn(p-TIPhHIDC)]_n (3), bearing two novel substituted imidazole dicarboxylate ligands, 2-(p-N-imidazol-1-yl)-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4,5dicarboxylic acid (p-IPhH₃IDC) and 2-p-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-phenyl-1H-imidazole-4,5dicarboxylic acid (p-TIPhH₃IDC), have been prepared and characterised through infrared spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ignoring the free methanol molecule and coordinated water in 2, 1–3 are similar structures. Moreover, the luminescent properties of the MOFs have been explored. It was found that MOFs 1 and 2 show good luminescent sensing of Fe³⁺ in varying degrees, and 3 of K⁺.

An efficient sensor for Zn2+ and Cu2+ based on different binding modes

An efficient sensor for Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) was designed based on different binding modes. The sensor displays ratiometric signals for Zn(2+), due to the Zn(2+)-triggered amide tautomerization; while dual-mode selective behaviors for Cu(2+) result from the deprotonation of the amide tautomer.     

Ca2+- and Ba2+-selective receptors based on site-selective transmetalation of multinuclear polyoxime-zinc(II) complexes

Ca2+-selective recognition was achieved by using the site-selective transmetalation of homotrinuclear metallohost [L1Zn3]2+ containing a linear tetraoxime ligand. The selectivity (log(KCa/KMg) > 5.1) is comparable to those of the excellent Ca2+ receptors or sensors such as BAPTA, Quin2, and K23E1. X-ray crystallography revealed that the Ca2+ complex [L1Zn2Ca]2+ has a helical structure. On the other hand, the larger analogue H6L2 gave a mixture of [L2Zn4]2+ isomers, which selectively recognizes Ba2+ to give a single tetranuclear complex, [L2Zn3Ba]2+.
