Hydroamination of alkynes with aromatic amines catalyzed by digallane (dpp-bian)Ga—Ga(dpp-bian)

Digallane (dpp-bian)Ga—Ga(dpp-bian) (1) (dpp-bian is the 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) catalyzes the addition of 4-chloroaniline to some terminal alkynes RC≡CH (R = Buⁿ, Ph, 4-MeC₆H₄). The reaction orders in each of the substrates were found for the reaction of phenylacetylene with 4-chloroaniline catalyzed by compound 1. The reaction of compound 1 with phenylacetylene in a molar ratio of 1: 10 led to 1-[N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]-2-(1-phenylethylidene)acenaphthene (5) and the compound [C₁₂H₆(NC₆H₃Pr₂ ⁱ)(PhC=CH₂)(PhC=CH)]Ga(C≡CPh)₂ (6). The reaction of digallane 1 with phenylacetylene and aniline in a stoichiometric ratio of 1: 2: 2 gave bis-anilide (dpp-bian)-Ga[N(H)Ph]₂ (7) in 40% yield. The compound (PhC≡C)₃Ga·THF (9) was obtained by the reaction of three equivalents of sodium phenylacetylide (prepared in situ from phenylacetylene and sodium) with one equivalent of GaCl₃ in tetrahydrofuran. Compounds 5—7 and 9 were characterized by IR spectroscopy, ¹H NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize products 5, 6, and 9, whereas EPR spectroscopy was used for amide 7. The structures of compounds 5—7 and 9 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Two new triterpenoid sapon.ins 1 and 2 were isolated from the crude saponin extract of Oxytropis glabra DC by Si gel chromato-grapny . Saponins 1 and 2 were determined to be 3-0-1 β-D-glucopyranosy 1 (1-2)- β -D-glucuronopyranosyl azukisapogenol methyl ester and 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl(1 - 2 ) - β -D-glucuronopyranosyl] azukisapogenol amide, respectively by spectral analysis and chemical methods.     

Synthesis and Structure of the Copper(I) Complex Containing Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane

1 INTRODUCTION Procedures to synthesize copper(I) complexes are of great interest because of the diversity of products resulting from almost the same methodology. It has long been known that four-electron-donor diphosphine compounds Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 are excellent bidentate ligands[1]. The chelating tendency decreases as the chain length increases, so that for the ligands Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2, the tendency to chelation is the greatest for bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane. Copper(I) displays wide…     

Unraveling the Impact of Gold(I)–Thiolate Motifs on the Aggregation-Induced Emission of Gold Nanoclusters

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) provides an efficient strategy to synthesize highly luminescent metal nanoclusters (NCs), however, rational control of emission energy and intensity of metal NCs is still challenging. This communication reveals the impact of surface Au^I-thiolate motifs on the AIE properties of Au NCs, by employing a series of water-soluble glutathione (GSH)-coordinated Au complexes and NCs as a model ([Au₁₀SR₁₀], [Au₁₅SR₁₃], [Au₁₈SR₁₄], and [Au₂₅SR₁₈]⁻, SR=thiolate ligand). Spectroscopic investigations show that the emission wavelength of Au NCs is adjustable from visible to the near-infrared II (NIR-II) region by controlling the length of the Au^I-SR motifs on the NC surface. Decreasing the length of Au^I-SR motifs also changes the origin of cluster luminescence from AIE-type phosphorescence to Au⁰-core-dictated fluorescence. This effect becomes more prominent when the degree of aggregation of Au NCs increases in solution.     

Influence of the counteranion on silver(I)–dithioether coordination polymers

In order to rationalize the effect of the size and coordinating ability of counteranions upon the structure of Ag(I)–dithioether coordination polymers, a series of such polymers has been synthesized by the combination of the 1,3-bis(methylthio)propane building block and AgX silver salts (X = ClO₄⁻ (1), BF₄⁻ (2), CF₃SO₃⁻ (3), SbF₆⁻ (4), C₆H₅COO⁻ (5), CF₃COO⁻ (6), CF₃CF₂CF₂COO⁻ (7) and ⁻OOCCF₂CF₂COO⁻ (8)). Except in two cases, all complexes form 1D-coordination polymers.     

Characteristic Features of the Formation of Copper(I) π-Complexes with N-Allyl Derivatives of Piperazinium Sulfamate

The crystals of two copper(I) complexes and piperazinium sulfamate were synthesized by ac electrochemical technique from Cu(NH₂SO₃)₂· xH₂O and N,N-diallylpiperazine, N-allylpiperazine, or piperazine titrated by sulfamic acid in aqueous methanol to pH 4. The crystal structures of the complexes were determined (DARCh diffractometer, MoK radiation, /2 scan mode). The crystal data: [C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NHC₃H₅]_0.5[Cu(NH₂SO₃)₂] · H₂O (I), space group P1¯, a = 8.053(1) Å, b = 10.247(2) Å, c = 8.918(2) Å, = 113.03(1)°, = 107.14(2)°, = 95.15(1)°, Z = 2; [NH₂(CH₂)₄NH₂]_0.5NH₂SO₃ (II), space group P2₁/a, a = 8.468(7) Å, b = 5.92(1) Å, c = 10.890(9) Å, = 100.40(9)°, Z = 4; {[C₃H₅NH(CH₂)₄NHC₃H₅][NH₂(CH₂)₄NH₂]}_0.5[Cu(NH₂SO₃)₃] · H₂O (III), space group P1¯, a = 11.729(3) Å, b = 8.266(2) Å, c = 10.611(3) Å, = 82.13(2)°, = 65.73(2)°, = 74.86(2)°, Z = 2. Structure III is a hybrid of elements of structures I and II and contains the -coordinated Cu(I) atom surrounded by three -donor sulfamate nitrogen atoms, which was found for the first time.     

I(-)·(CH3I)2 photoexcitation: the influence of dipole bound states on detachment and fragmentation

We present the results of a photoelectron imaging study of the I(-)·(CH(3)I)(2) cluster anion over excitation wavelengths 355-260 nm. The resulting spectra and photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) suggest extensive electron-molecule interaction following photoexcitation. Fragmentation channels are observed subsequent to excitation between 355 and 330 nm. The origin of these features, which begin 200 meV and peak 70 meV below the X band direct detachment threshold, is described in terms of a predissociative dipole bound state. The nature of the fragments detected and the energetics of the channel opening argue strongly in favor of an asymmetric, head to tail cluster anion geometry posited by Dessent et al. [Acc. Chem. Res. 31, 527 (1998)]. Above the direct detachment threshold, PADs display evidence of phenomena akin to electron-molecule scattering. The fragment anions disappear above the X band threshold but reappear some distance below the second (A) direct detachment band. At these energies there is also rapid variation of the X band PAD, an observation attributed to autodetachment via spin-orbit relaxation of the iodine core of the cluster.     

A silver(I)–rhodium(I) cooperative catalysis in the reaction of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazide with 2-vinyloxirane

A novel and efficient route to H-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-1-carbaldehydes via a tandem reaction of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazide with 2-vinyloxirane is described. The reaction proceeds through a silver(I)–rhodium(I) cooperative catalysis.     

In vitro biological studies of heteroleptic Ag(I) and Cu(I) unsymmetrical N,N′-diarylformamidine dithiocarbamate phosphine complexes; the effect of the metal center

A series of five dithiocarbamate and their respective Ag(I) and Cu(I) triphenylphosphine complexes of the general formula [Ag/Cu(PPh₃)₂L] were synthesized and characterized. The dithiocarbamate ligands were synthesized from formamidines with substituents in the 2 and/or 6 positions of the phenyl rings, intentionally keeping substituents on one ring different from those of the second phenyl ring while investigating the structure-activity relationship of Ag(I) and Cu(I) dithiocarbamate complexes. All Ag(I) and Cu(I) complexes with the general formula [Ag(PPh₃)₂L] (1–5) or [Cu(PPh₃)₂L] (6–10), displayed distorted tetrahedral geometry around the metal centers with coordination via two S atoms of the dithiocarbamate ligand and two P atoms from the PPh₃ units. Complexes 1–5 showed better inhibition values against Gram-positive, Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin resistant) and Staphylococcus aureus than the standard used, ciprofloxacin. Complexes 1 and 2 generally had good activity against all bacterial strains but were not active against Salmonella typhimurium. All Cu(I) complexes were either of low activity or inactive against all bacterial strains tested. Complex 2 was found to be more active with IC₅₀ values of 1.34 × 10⁻³ mM and 0.25 mM as agents for antioxidant activity against DPPH and NO free radical scavengers, respectively. The metal center played a vital role in their biological activity as the Ag(I) complexes displayed better antibacterial and antioxidant activity than Cu(I) complexes.     

Effect of the composition of dimethyl sulfoxide–acetonitrile solvent on the stability of silver(I) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridyl

The effect of composition of the dimethyl sulfoxide–acetonitrile solvent on the shift in complexation equilibrium of silver(I) and 2,2'-bipyridyl was studied potentiometrically at 298.15 K. The stability of mono- and bis(bipyridyl) complexes of silver(I) was found to rise with increasing acetonitrile content in the mixed solvent. The difference in changes in the solvation state of the central and complex ions (the solvation effect of ions) was found to make a major contribution to the changes in stability of silver(I) complexes with 2,2'-bipyridyl in dimethyl sulfoxide–acetonitrile binary solvent.     

Profiling the tuneable R-SMS-Phos structure in the rhodium(I)-catalyzed hydrogenation of olefins: the last stand?

A diversified family of enantiopure P-stereogenic "R-SMS-Phos" {R-SMS-Phos = 1,2-bis[(o-RO-phenyl)(phenyl)phosphino]ethane} ligands wherein R = branched or heteroatom-substituted alkyl, aralkyl, silyl, acyl, sulfonyl, etc. was screened for the Rh(I)-catalyzed hydrogenation of a representative set of olefinic substrates. This systematic and detailed investigation revealed a marked beneficial impact on enantioselectivity and catalyst activity in comparison to Knowles' ultimate DiPAMP {DiPAMP = 1,2-bis[(o-anisyl)(phenyl)phosphino]ethane} design. Mutant ligands with highly enhanced properties possessing particular features wherein the DiPAMP structure is found embedded were identified.     

On the nature of the multiple ground states of the MMX mixed-valence chain compound, [Pt(II/III)2(n-PenCS2)4I]∞

We present a comprehensive study of the temperature dependence of the crystal structure using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and diffuse scattering, and electrical transport and magnetic properties as well as some optical properties at room temperature to elucidate the origin and the form of multiple ground states demonstrated in a previous study of the heat-capacity of the MMX chain compound, [Pt(II/III)(2)(n-PenCS(2))(4)I](∞). The present results confirm the presence of the two phase transitions, one reversible of first order at 207 K and the other nonreversible monotropic at 324 K, separating the low temperature (LT), room temperature (RT), and high temperature (HT) phases. The unit cell displays a 3-fold periodicity of -Pt-Pt-I- in the RT and HT phases because of the structural disorder which is exhibited by the dithiocarboxylato groups and the n-pentyl groups belonging to the central diplatinum unit. In addition, for the HT-phase all the dimers show this disorder. This compound undergoes a metal-semiconductor transition at T(M-S) = 235 K. The presence of diffuse streaks corresponding to 2-fold -Pt-Pt-I- periodicity in the HT and RT phases indicates dynamic valence ordering of the type -Pt(2+)-Pt(2+)-I(-)-Pt(3+)-Pt(3+)-I(-)-or-Pt(2+)-Pt(3+)-I(-)-Pt(3+)-Pt(2+)-I(-)-. For the LT-phase the diffuse scattering is condensed into clear Bragg diffraction peaks while keeping the 3-fold periodicity. This fact suggests further localization through dimerization of charges and spins confirming the diamagnetic state in the magnetic susceptibility and the low electrical conduction below 207 K. The present results are further discussed in relation to those of previous studies on the homologues, [Pt(II/III)(2)(RCS(2))(4)I](∞), R = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and n-butyl.     

Magnetic,spectroscopic and biological properties of copper(II) complexes of the tridentate ligand, α-N-methyl-S-methyl-β-N-(2-pyridyl)methylenedithiocarbazate(NNS) and the X-ray crystal structure of the [Cu(NNS)I2] complex

Copper(II) complexes of general formula, Cu(NNS)X ₂ · nH₂O (NNS = the 2-formylpyridine Schiff base of N-methyl-S-methyldithiocarbazate; X = Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, NCS^–; n = 0, 2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and by magnetic and spectroscopic techniques. Based on magnetic and spectroscopic data, a monomeric five-coordinate square-pyramidal structure is assigned to these complexes. The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(NNS)I₂] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The complex has a monomeric square-pyramidal structure with the ligand coordinated to the copper(II) ion via the pyridine nitrogen atom, the azomethine nitrogen atom and the thione sulfur atom. The fourth and fifth coordination sites are occupied by the iodide ligands. Antimicrobial tests indicate that Schiff base is inactive against the bacteria, Bacillus subtilis (mutant defective DNA repair), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis (wild type) and weakly active against the fungi, Candida albicans, Candida lypolytica, Saccharomyces cereviseae and Aspergillus ochraceous but its copper(II) complexes, Cu(NNS)X ₂ are strongly active against these organisms. A cytotoxicity study of the compounds against leukemic and cervical cancer cells showed that the Schiff base is inactive, but the complexes, [Cu(NNS)I₂] and [Cu(NNS)(NCS)₂] · 2H₂O exhibit significant activity against cervical cancer cells with CD₅₀ values of 4.8 and 4.2 g, respectively.     

Amalgamating at the molecular level. A study of the strong closed-shell Au(I)···Hg(II) interaction

Complex {[Hg(C(6)F(5))(2)][Au(C(6)F(5))(PMe(3))](2)}(n)2 displays unsupported Au(I)···Hg(II) and Au(I)···Au(I) interactions. Its crystal structure displays a polymeric -(Au-Hg-Au-Au-Hg-Au)(n)- disposition. Ab initio calculations show very strong Au(I)···Hg(II) and Au(I)···Au(I) closed-shell interactions of -73.3 kJ mol(-1) and -57.0 kJ mol(-1), respectively, which have a dispersive (van der Waals) nature and are strengthened by large relativistic effects (>20%).

Synthesis and structure of bischelate gallium complexes (dpp-bian)Ga(acac) and (dpp-bian)Ga(2,2´-bipy) (dpp-bian is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene)

A reaction of digallane [(dpp-bian)Ga—Ga(dpp-bian)] (1) (dpp-bian is the 1,2-bis[(2,6-disopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with one equivalent of I₂ leads to oxidation of (dpp-bian)^2– in compound 1 to (dpp-bian)–and gives [(dpp-bian)GaI—GaI(dpp-bian)] (2). In the reaction of compound 2 with two equivalents of (acac)Na, not only exchange of the iodide and acetylacetonate ions takes place, but also a transfer of electrons from the metal—metal bond to dpp-bian with the formation of the complex [(dpp-bian)Ga(acac)] (3), in which the dpp-bian ligand is a dianion. A reaction of digallane 1 with 2,2´-bipyridyl at 200 °C in toluene in a sealed tube leads to the reduction of 2,2´-bipyridyl and gives the complex [(dpp-bian)Ga(bipy)] (4), which contains two different chelate redox-active ligands. The new compounds were characterized by IR (3, 4), NMR (3), and ESR spectra (4), the structures of both derivatives were established by X-ray diffraction.     

Silver(I) Coordination in Silver(I)-Mediated Homo Base Pairs of 6-Pyrazolylpurine in DNA Duplexes Involves the Watson–Crick Edge

DNA duplexes comprising 6-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-9H-purine (6PP), 1-deaza-6PP (^1D6PP), 7-deaza-6PP (^7D6PP) and 1,7-dideaza-6PP (^1,7D6PP) 2′-deoxyribonucleosides, respectively, were investigated towards their ability to form metal-mediated base pairs in the presence of Ag^I. In 6PP and ^7D6PP, the Ag^I ion can coordinate to the nucleobase via the endocyclic N1 nitrogen atom, that is, via the Watson–Crick edge. In contrast, this nitrogen atom is not available in ^1D6PP and ^1,7D6PP, so that in ^1D6PP an Ag^I coordination is only possible via the Hoogsteen edge (N7). Reference duplexes with either adenine:adenine mispairs or canonical adenine:thymine base pairs were used to investigate the impact of the pyrazolyl moiety on the Ag^I-binding properties. To determine the thermal and structural duplex stabilities in the absence or presence of Ag^I, all duplexes were examined by UV and circular dichroism spectroscopic studies. These investigations shed light on the question of whether N1- or N7-coordination is preferred in purine-based metal-mediated base pairs.     

Exploring the Structural Details of Cu(I) Binding to α-Synuclein by NMR Spectroscopy

The aggregation of α-synuclein (AS) is selectively enhanced by copper in vitro, and the interaction is proposed to play a potential role in vivo. In this work, we report the structural, residue-specific characterization of Cu(I) binding to AS and demonstrate that the protein is able to bind Cu(I) with relatively high affinity in a coordination environment that involves the participation of Met1 and Met5 residues. This knowledge is a key to understanding the structural-aggregation basis of the copper-catalyzed oxidation of AS.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Polynuclear Cu(I) Complexes Containing the 1,1′-Bis-(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene Ligand

 The reaction between [Cu(NCMe)₄][PF₆] and 1,1′-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-ferrocene (dppf) in several ratios, solvents, and conditions led to the synthesis and structural characterization of the Cu(I) complexes [Cu(dppf)(Odppf)][PF₆] (1), [(dppf)Cu(μ-dppf)Cu(dppf)][PF₆]₂ (2), and [(dppf)Cu(μ-Cl)₂Cu(dppf)] (3). Although 1 and the cation in 2 were known, the first was structurally characterized for the first time, exhibiting a significant asymmetry in the coordination sphere of Cu(I) owing to the presence of oxygen. In 2, the PF₆ ⁻ anion led to an interesting crystal packing with large open channels containing water. Finally, DFT calculations on a model of 3 showed that its HOMO exhibits, besides Fe, a significant Cu and Cl character, which is reflected in its electrochemical properties.
