Cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes as topoisomerase IIα poisons

A platinum(II)-based major groove binder [Pt(II)(C^N)(C≡NR)(2)](+) (HC^N = 2-phenylpyridine (phpy), R = 2-naphthyl) was identified as a potent human topoisomerase IIα poison. It stabilizes the covalent TopoIIα-DNA cleavage complex and induces cancer cell death with potency significantly higher than the widely clinically used TopoIIα poison Vp-16.     

Advances on supramolecular assembly of cyclometalated platinum(Ⅱ) complexes

Organoplatinum(Ⅱ) compounds have received enormous attention over the past decades due to their square-planar geometry as well as intriguing photo-physical properties.Self-assembly has emerged as an excellent approach to create well-ordered supramolecular architectures with tunable properties,which underpin the role of solvent-directed approach for the design of functional materials.In this minireview,the recent advances on supramolecular self-assembly of cyclometalated platinum(Ⅱ) complexes have been discussed.During the self-assembly process,non-covalent Pt-Pt and π-π interactions play crucial roles in controlling the structures and functions of the resulting assemblies.     

Efficient singlet oxygen generation by luminescent 2-(2′-thienyl)pyridyl cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes and their calixarene derivatives

Luminescent cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes, namely [Pt(Thpy)(PPh₃)X]ⁿ⁺ (HThpy = 2-(2′-thienyl)pyridine; X = Cl⁻ ( 1 ), n = 0; X = CH₃CN ( 2 ), pyridine ( 3 ), n = 1) and [Pt(Thpy)(HThpy)Y] ^{n +} (Y = Cl⁻ ( 4 ), n = 0; Y = pyridine ( 5 ), n = 1), exhibit structured emission with peak maximum at ∼556 and 598 nm in degassed acetonitrile and with emission quantum yield and lifetime of up to 0.38 and 26 μs, respectively. These complexes are efficient photosensitizers of singlet oxygen with yields up to >90%. Complex 5 exhibited photocytotoxicity towards cancer cells and fluorescence microscopic images of cells incubated with 5 reveal substantial uptake at the nucleus and mitochondria.     

Efficient and high yield one-pot synthesis of cyclometalated platinum(II) β-diketonates at ambient temperature

Cyclometalated Pt(II) β-diketonates are widely used as efficient luminescent materials but are typically prepared at high temperatures in low yields using excess reagents. A one-pot synthesis of these complexes is described employing stoichiometric reagents and short reaction times at ambient temperature, giving yields of up to 94%. The method is applicable to a broad range of substrates including N^C, P^C, and C^C chelate Pt(II) complexes and different β-diketonate ligands.     

Molecular design and theoretical investigation into one-and two-photon absorption properties of two series of cyclometalated platinum(Ⅱ) complexes

We have theoretically investigated two series of cyclometalated Pt(Ⅱ) complexes,a series [Pt(C,N,N) Cl] and b series [Pt(C,N,Npyrazolyl) Cl].The geometrical and electronic structures are calculated at the ECP60MWB//6-31G*(H,C,Cl,N,S) basis set level using DFT method;one-photon absorption(OPA) properties are calculated by using both TDDFT and ZINDO methods and two-photon absorption(TPA) properties are obtained with the ZINDO/SOS method.The resonance integrals parameters(βsp and βd) for Pt are adjusted to -1 and -28.5 eV,respectively,to make max OPA wavelength calculated by ZINDO closest to the experimental data and TDDFT results.The calculated results indicate the molecule 2b([Pt(Cnaphthyl,N,Npyrazolyl) Cl]) has the biggest potential as outstanding TPA materials because(i) the TPA properties of b series are more outstanding in IR wavelength range,the molecules in b series have good transparencies and possess 1-pyrazolyl-NH that is also available for another metal coordination(e.g.,dimerization) and chemical interactions;(ii) when C is Cnaphthyl in the C,N,N ligand of cyclometalated Pt(Ⅱ) complexes,the molecules have the best conjugation effect and the best TPA properties.

Synthesis of Co–Pd alloys by co-electroreduction of aquachloro-cobalt(II) and palladium(II) complexes

The work presents results of the studies on the synthesis of Co–Pd alloys from acid electrolytes containing chloride ions. The main aim of the tests was to identify reactions responsible for alloy formation and to determine an influence of the electrolysis parameters, i.e. working electrode potential, electrolyte composition and temperature on the composition of the resulted alloy coatings. Electrochemical investigations were performed by applying cyclic voltammetry (CV) combined with electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The electrolyte composition was selected based on a thermodynamic analysis and spectrophotometric tests which were described in our previous papers [1, 2]. They allowed determination of equilibrium distribution of the metals complex forms and a stability analysis of the electrolyte. The alloys were synthesized within the potential range from ?0.7 to ?1.1 V. The tests indicate a possibility of alloys synthesis already at the potential range 相似文献

The reactions of the optically active geometric isomers of the platinum(II) complex (–)-[Pt(Me-p-TolSO)(Py)Cl₂] with several nucleophilic reagents (Py, Ph₃PS, Ph₃P, Ph₃As, and Me₂SO) were studied by optical rotatory dispersion, IR spectroscopy, and ¹H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. A mechanism for the reaction is proposed.     

Vibrational spectroscope of complexes of platinum(0)—I. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) and Dioxygenbis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0)

Assignment of i.r. and Raman spectra for Pt(PPh₃)₄ and Pt(O₂)(PPh₃)₂ yielded values for νPtP of 137 and 157 cm⁻¹ (Pt(PPh₃)₄); 132 (antisymmetric) and 145 cm⁻¹ (symmetric) (Pt(O₂)(PPh₃)₂). For the dioxygen complex, solution phase Raman spectra gave values for both ν PtO₂ modes for the first time. Data from the ¹⁶O₂, ¹⁶O¹⁸O and ¹⁸O₂ isotopomers were used in a normal coordinate analysis of the PtO₂ fragment. The OO stretching force constant (3.0 mdyn Å⁻¹) is consistent with extensive net π-back-donation into the π* m.o.s of the O₂ ligand.     

Cytotoxic properties of platinum(IV) and dinuclear platinum(II) complexes and their ligand substitution reactions with guanosine-5′-monophosphate

The substitution reaction of the Pt(IV) complex [PtCl₄(bipy)] with guanosine-5??-monophosphate (5??-GMP) was studied by UV?CVis spectrophotometry. This reaction was investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions at 37?°C in 25?mM Hepes buffer (pH?=?7.2) in the presence of 10?mM NaCl to prevent the hydrolysis of the complex. The substitution of chlorides in [{trans-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl}₂(??-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane)](ClO₄)₂ (Pt3) complex by 5??-GMP was followed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy under second-order conditions. Very similar values for the rate constants of both substitution steps were obtained. The Pt(IV) complexes, [PtCl₄(bipy)] and [PtCl₄(dach)], as well as dinuclaer Pt(II) [{trans-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl}₂(??-pyrazine)](ClO₄)₂ (Pt1), [{trans-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl}₂(??-4,4??-bipyridyl)](ClO₄)₂?·?DMF (Pt2) and [{trans-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl}₂(??-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane)](ClO₄)₂ (Pt3) complexes, displayed potent cytotoxic activity against human ovarium carcinoma cell line TOV21G and lower activity toward human colon carcinoma HCT116 cell line at the same concentrations. Our data indicate that these platinum complexes could be explored further, as potential therapeutic agents for ovarian cancer.

The synthesis of the trans-spanning bidentate diphosphine ligand, 3,3′-oxybis-(di-meta-tolylphosphino)methyl]benzene (I) and its complexes with Ni^II, Pd^II and Pt^II are described. The ligand I forms monomeric trans square planar complexes [MX₂(I)] (M = Ni, Pd or Pt, X = Cl or X = NCS in case of Ni). ³¹P and ¹H NMR parameters are reported.     

Ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone catalysed by (pyridyl)benzoazole Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes

This paper describes the synthesis of (pyridyl)benzoazole Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes and their applications as catalysts in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL). Reactions of 2-(3-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L1), 2-(2-pyridyl)-1H-benzothiazole (L2) and 2-(2-pyridyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L3) with Zn(II) and Cu(II) acetates produced the corresponding complexes; [Zn₂(L1)₂(OAc)₄)] (1), [Cu₂(L1)₂(OAc)₄] (2), [Zn(L2)(OAc)₂)] (3), [Zn(L3)(OAc)₂)] (4) and [Cu(L3), (OAc)₂)] (5). Molecular structures of complexes 2 and 5a revealed that while L1 adopts a monodentate binding mode, through the pyridyl nitrogen atom, L3 exhibits a bidentate coordination mode. All the complexes formed active catalysts in the ROP of ε-CL to afford moderate molecular weight polymers. The kinetics of the ROP reactions of ε-CL were pseudo-first-order with respect to monomer and catalysts.     

Mixed neutral compounds of palladium(II) and platinum (II) chelated by diolato(2−) and di-imine ligands

The synthesis and characterization are described for compounds abbreviated (a) 1–5: [Pd(phen)(OO)], where OO = the dianion from 1,2-ethanediol (1), (+)-1,2-propanediol (2), (±)-2,3-butanediol (3), (−)-1,2-butanediol (4), catechol (5); (b) the sulphur analogue (6) [Pd(phen)(SCH₂CH₂S)], from ethane-1,2-dithiol; (c) the platinum analogue (7) [Pt(phen)(OCH₂CH₂O)]; (d) the 2,2′-bipyridyl analogue (8), [Pd(bipy)(OCH₂CH₂O)] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl).     

Intramolecular NH···Pt interactions of platinum(II) diimine complexes with phenyl ligands

Pt(pipNC)(2)(phen) [pipNC(-) = 1-(piperidylmethyl)phenyl anion; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] was prepared by the reaction of cis-Pt(pipNC)(2) with phen. Crystallographic and (1)H NMR data establish that the phen ligand is bidentate, whereas each piperidyl ligand is monodentate and bonded to the platinum at the ortho position of the phenyl group. Acidic conditions allowed for isolation of the salts of diprotonated Pt(pipNHC)(2)(diimine)(2+) adducts (diimine = phen, 2,2'-bipyridine, or 5,5'-ditrifluoromethyl-2,2'-bipyridine). Crystallographic and spectroscopic data for the diprotonated complexes are consistent with H···Pt interactions (2.32-2.51 ?) involving the piperidinium groups, suggesting that the metal center behaves as a Br?nsted base. Metal-to-ligand (diimine) charge-transfer states of Pt(pipNHC)(2)(phen)(2+) in solution are strongly destabilized (>2500 cm(-1)) relative to Pt(pipNC)(2)(phen), in keeping with the notion that NH···Pt interactions effectively reduce the electron density at the metal center. Though N···Pt interactions in Pt(pipNC)(2)(phen) appear to be weaker than those found for outer-sphere two-electron reagents, such as Pt(pip(2)NCN)(tpy)(+) [pip(2)NCN(-) = 1,3-bis(piperidylmethylphenyl anion; tpy = 2,2':6',2'-terpyridine], each of the Pt(pipNC)(2)(diimine) complexes undergoes diimine ligand dissociation to give back cis-Pt(pipNC)(2) and free diimine ligand. Electrochemical measurements on the deprotonated complexes suggest that the piperidyl groups help to stabilize higher oxidation states of the metal center, whereas protonation of the piperidyl groups has a destabilizing influence.     

Reaction of alkenyl carbonyl ruthenium(II) complexes with t-butyl isocyanide. Synthesis of η1-acylruthenium(II) complexes by intramolecular CO insertion

Reaction of Ru(CO)Cl(CHCHR)(PPh₃)₂ or Ru(CO)Cl(CHCHR)(PPh₃)₂L (L = py, Me₂Hpz) with 1 equivalent of t-butyl isocyanide gives the alkenyl derivatives Ru(CO)Cl(CHCHR)(PPh₃)₂(t-BuNC). When an excess of isocyanide is used, further reaction results in intramolecular CO insertion to yield η¹-acyl complexes [Ru(COCHCHR) (t-BuNC)₃(PPh₃)₂]Cl. Related complexes were obtained from [Ru(CO)(CHCHR)(MeCN)₂(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ and an excess of isocyanide.     

Understanding the electronic and π-conjugation roles of quinoline on ligand substitution reactions of platinum(II) complexes

A kinetic and mechanistic study of chloride substitution by thiourea nucleophiles, namely thiourea, N-methylthiourea, N,N-dimethylthiourea and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylthiourea in the complexes chlorobis-(2-pyridylmethyl)amineplatinum(II) (Pt1), chloro N-(2-pyridinylmethyl)-8-quinolinamineplatinum(II) (Pt2), chloro N-(2-pyridinylmethylene)-8-quinolinamineplatinum(II) (Pt3) and chlorobis(8-quinolinyl)amineplatinum(II) (Pt4) was undertaken under pseudo-first-order conditions using UV–visible spectrophotometry. The study showed that lability of the chloro leaving group is dependent on the strength of π-interactions between the filled dπ-orbitals of the metal and the empty π*-orbitals of the chelating ligand in the following manner: Pt1 > Pt3 > Pt2 > Pt4. Introduction of the quinoline moiety within the non-labile chelated framework of the Pt(II) complexes results in a more electron-rich metal centre which retards the approach of the nucleophile through repulsion. Moreover, the net σ-effect of the ligand moiety plays a significant role in controlling the reactivity of the complexes. The experimental results are interpreted with the aid of computational data obtained by density functional theory (B3LYP(CPCM)/LANL2DZp//B3LYP/-LANL2DZp) calculations. The mode of substitution remains associative as supported by negative entropies and the dependence of the second-order rate constants on the concentration of entering nucleophiles.
