Functionalized BF2 chelated azadipyrromethene dyes

Fluorescent molecules that emit in the near infrared are potentially useful as probes for biotechnology. A relatively under-explored design for probes of this type are the aza-BODIPY dyes; this study was performed to enhance our understanding of these materials and ways in which they may be used in dye cassette systems. Thus, the aza-BODIPY dyes 1a-g were prepared. An advanced intermediate toward an eighth compound in the series, 6h, was made but it could not be complexed with boron effectively to give 1h. Spectroscopic properties of these compounds were recorded, and correlations between substituent effects, UV absorbance, fluorescence emissions, and quantum yields were made. Compound 1a was coupled with a fluorescein-alkyne derivative to give the energy transfer cassettes 2 and 3. Both these compounds gave poor energy transfer and the possible reasons for this were discussed.     

Synthesis, structure, electronic properties and thermal behavior of butadiynyl substituted phenylCr(CO)3-complexes

Butadiynyl-substituted η⁶-benzeneCr(CO)₃ complexes 3 are very efficiently prepared by a copper catalyzed coupling of the phenylacetylene complex 1 and bromo alkynes 2. The transmission of electronic effects through the butadiynyl bridge operates by resonance mechanisms as established by correlations between Hammett's σ_p, σ_R and σ_P⁺ parameters. Most interestingly, however, is an unusual thermal behavior that leads to intractable paramagnetic polymers of unknown structure. According to thermal analyses (thermal gravimetrical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry) the complexes 3 react in a thermal solid-state reaction under CO extrusion to give amorphous cross-linked polymers.     

Synthesis of three-dimensionally arranged porphyrin arrays via intramolecular meso-meso coupling

The synthesis and photophysical properties of three-dimensionally arranged porphyrin arrays with through-space electronic communication are reported. 1,3,5-Trioxamethylphenylene bridged Zn(II) porphyrin trimer 3 was coupled by Ag(I)-promoted oxidative coupling reaction to give porphyrin cage 5 comprising three meso-meso linked diporphyrins, which was then transformed by oxidation with DDQ and Sc(OTf)₃ into porphyrin cage 7 comprising three fused diporphyrins. Intramolecular meso-meso coupling reaction was applied to porphyrin pentamer 11 to provide porphyrin array 12 consisting of a porphyrin core flanked by two meso-meso linked diporphyrins. Further oxidation of 12 with DDQ and Sc(OTf)₃ afforded triply stacked porphyrin array 13 that is comprised of a porphyrin core flanked by two porphyrin tapes. UV-vis-NIR absorption and fluorescence spectra of 5, 7, 12, and 13 showed their distorted conformations and electronic interaction within the stacked porphyrin arrays.

Synthesis of mono meso-pyridyl 21,23-dithiaporphyrins and unsymmetrical non-covalent porphyrin dimers

A new method has been developed to synthesize 21,23-dithiaporphyrins having one pyridyl group at the meso position. The method required easily available unknown precursors and the condensation resulted in mono meso-pyridyl 21,23-dithiaporphyrins as single products in 8-11% yield. Two of the three mono meso-pyridyl N₂S₂ porphyrins were used to synthesize non-covalent unsymmetrical porphyrin dimers containing one N₂S₂ and one N₄ porphyrin cores.     

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of BF2 complexes with 1,3-diketone ligands

BF₂ complexes with 1,3-diketone ligands were synthesized, and their optical and electrochemical properties were studied. The colors of the complexes varied depending on the structures of the 1,3-diketone ligands. The absorption and emission maxima of the complexes with 1,3-diaryl-1,3-diketone ligands were considerably red shifted as compared to those of the complexes with 1-aryl-3-trifluoromethyl-1,3-diketone ligands, suggesting an extended π-conjugation of the 1,3-diaryl-1,3-diketone moieties. The molar absorption coefficients and quantum yields of the complexes with 1,3-diaryl-1,3-diketone ligands were larger than those of the complexes with 1-aryl-3-trifluoromethyl-1,3-diketone ligands. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the reduction potentials of the BF₂ complexes were higher than those of the free ligands. These complexes exhibited various emission colors in the solid states due to the intermolecular interactions.

Total Synthesis of Pectenotoxin‐2

Pectenotoxin‐2 (PTX2) is a shellfish toxin and has a non‐anomeric spiroacetal, which is not stabilized by an anomeric effect. The selective construction of the non‐anomeric spiroacetal has been a major problem in the synthesis of PTX2. Described herein is the stereoselective total synthesis of PTX2 via the isomerization of anomeric spiroacetal pectenotoxin‐2b (PTX2b). The synthesis of PTX2b was achieved by a simple process including sulfone‐mediated assembly of spirocyclic and bicyclic acetals and subsequent macrocyclization by ring‐closing olefin metathesis. Finally, the selective construction of PTX2 was accomplished by the early termination of a dynamic transition process to equilibrium in the acid‐catalyzed isomerization of anomeric PTX2b. [6,6]‐Spiroacetal pectenotoxin‐2c (PTX2c) was also synthesized from PTX2b. The cytotoxicity assay of the synthetic compounds against HepG2 and Caco2 cancer cells showed a potency of the order: PTX2?PTX2b>PTX2c.

Synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins using SeO2 as oxidant

The oxidative step of the two-step, one-flask synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins is herein conducted with heterogeneous oxidant SeO₂ instead of the usual quinones DDQ or p-chloranil. Evaluation of BF₃O(Et)₂ or I₂ amount for the condensation of the first step combined with the excess of SeO₂ defined porphyrin synthesis conditions employing benzaldehydes and pyrrole (or 5-phenyldipyrromethane) as starting materials. The simplicity of the workup, allied with reaction mild conditions, makes this method a good option for the synthesis of this kind of compound.     

Substituents modification of meso-aryl BODIPYs for tuning photophysical properties

We successfully synthesized eight meso-aryl BODIPYs with 2,6-diethyl- or 1,2,6,7-tetraethyl substituents and characterized their photophysical properties. The steric hindrance resulting from the phenolic group in the meso-aryl moiety and the ethyl groups on the BODIPY core affected the synthesis of dipyrromethanes as an intermediate as well as the UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence emission of the BODIPYs due to the constrained rotation of the aryl ring. The potential use of the meso-hydroxyphenyl BODIPY as a pH sensor was also shown by the pH-dependent fluorescence emissions.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of a terphenyl substituted phosphaalkyne, PC{C6H3(C6H2Me3-2,4,6)2-2,6}

In attempts to form group 15 heteroalkynes, the reactions of Ar′C(O)Cl or Ar″C(O)Cl (Ar″ = C₆H₃(C₆H₂Me₃-2,4,6)₂-2,6) with [LiE(SiMe₃)₂] (E = P, As or Sb) have been carried out. No reactions occurred with the bulkier acid chloride, Ar′C(O)Cl, whilst reactions only occurred with Ar″C(O)Cl at elevated temperatures. One of these afforded the first terphenyl substituted phosphaalkyne, PCAr″, as an air stable, crystalline solid. The X-ray crystal structure of this compound was obtained.

Synthesis and properties of three novel rhodamine-based fluorescent sensors for Hg2+

Three novel rhodamine-based Hg~(2+) fluorescent sensors were designed and synthesized. The sensors could work in semi-aqueous solutions with nearly neutral p H and showed high selectivity and sensitivity to Hg~(2+) with remarkable fluorescence enhancement. For these three sensors, the linear working range broadened(0–80, 0–100 and 0–140 μmol/L, respectively) and the sensitivity increased(7.7, 15.5 and 17.6 folds of the fluorescence enhancement and 512, 66.2 and 37.6 ppb of the detection limit) with the rising of the thiourea-unit numbers. Furthermore the sensors exhibited excellent interference immunity to multiple environmentally and biologically relevant metal ions. Pond and tap water assay showed good practicability of the sensors. The number of the bound Hg~(2+) equaling to that of the thiourea units and the irreversible recognition process implied a new interaction way between Hg~(2+) and the sensor.

For comparative studies, geometrical optimization have been performed on the complex [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)IrCl₂(4-dpmane)] using exchange correlation functional B3LYP. Optimized bond length and angles are in good agreement with the structural data of the complex [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)IrCl₂(3-dpmane)]. The complexes [(η⁶-C₁₀H₁₄)RuCl₂(3-dpmane)], [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl₂(3-dpmane)] and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)IrCl₂(3-dpmane)] have been employed as a transfer hydrogenation catalyst in the reduction of aldehydes. It was observed that the rhodium and iridium complexes mentioned above are more effective in this regard in comparison to the ruthenium complex.
