pH Dependent Synthesis of NdIII Coordination Compounds Based on Bifunctional 5‐(4‐Pyridyl)tetrazole‐2‐acetic Acid

The Nd^III coordination compounds [Nd(4‐pytza)₃(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O ( 1 ) and [Nd(4‐pytza)₂(H₂O)₄]Cl · 2H₂O ( 2 ) [H4‐pytza = 5‐(4‐pyridyl)tetrazole‐2‐acetic acid] were synthesized by reactions of K4‐pytza and NdCl₃ · 6H₂O at different pH values. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that 4‐pytza ligands in 1 in a μ_1,3‐COO syn‐syn or μ_1,1,3‐COO bridging mode coordinate to two central Nd^III atoms to display a dinuclear unit, which is connected by one of these 4‐pytza ligands acting in end‐to‐end bridging mode to form a 1D ladder‐like chain. Different from 1 , each 4‐pytza in 2 with a μ_1,3‐COO syn‐anti bridging mode coordinates to two Nd^III atoms to display a 1D zigzag chain. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of 1 and 2 were investigated at room temperature in the solid state.     

Synthesis of a Ruthenium(II) Compound based on 5‐(2‐Pyrimidyl)‐1H‐tetrazole for Photodynamic Therapy

Ru^II compounds have been universally investigated due to their unique physical and chemical properties. In this paper, a new Ru^II compound based on 2,2′‐bipy and Hpmtz [2,2′‐bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, Hpmtz = 5‐(2‐pyrimidyl)‐1H‐tetrazole], namely [Ru(2,2′‐bipy)₂(pmtz)][PF₆] · 0.5H₂O was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. [Ru(2,2′‐bipy)₂(pmtz)][PF₆] · 0.5H₂O shows a mononuclear structure and forms a three‐dimensional network by non‐classic hydrogen bonds. The ability of generation of ROS (reactive oxygen species) makes it has a low phototoxicity IC₅₀ (half‐maximal inhibitory concentration) after Xenon lamp irradiation on Hela cells in vitro. The results demonstrate that [Ru(2,2′‐bipy)₂(pmtz)][PF₆] · 0.5H₂O with high light toxicity and low dark toxicity may be a potential candidate for photodynamic therapy.

A series of novel 3‐((4‐(t‐butyl)‐2‐(2‐benzylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol‐5‐yl)methyl)quinolin‐2(1H)‐ones ( 7a – 7z ) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their ability of inhibiting neuraminidase (NA) of in?uenza H1N1 virus.

One‐Pot Syntheses of 2‐(2‐Sulfanyl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐4‐yl)acetic Acid Derivatives via Reactions of 3‐(2‐Isothiocyanatophenyl)prop‐2‐enoic Acid Derivatives with Thiols or Sodium Sulfide

Two efficient methods for the preparation of 2‐(2‐sulfanyl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐4‐yl)acetic acid derivatives 3 under mild conditions have been developed. The first method is based on the reaction of 3‐(2‐isothiocyanatophenyl)prop‐2‐enoates 1a – 1c with thiols in the presence of Et₃N in THF at room temperature, leading to the corresponding dithiocarbamate intermediates 2 , which underwent spontaneous cyclization at the same temperature by an attack of the S‐atom at the prop‐2‐enoyl moiety in a 1,4‐addition manner (Michael addition) to give 2‐(2‐sulfanyl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐4‐yl)acetates in one pot. The second method involves treatment of 3‐(2‐isothiocyanatophenyl)prop‐2‐enoic acid derivatives 1b – 1d with Na₂S leading to the formation of 2‐(2‐sodiosulfanyl‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐4‐yl)acetic acid intermediates 5 by a similar addition/cyclization sequence, which are then allowed to react with alkyl or aryl halides to afford derivatives 3 . 2‐(2‐Thioxo‐4H‐3,1‐benzothiazin‐4‐yl)acetic acid derivatives 6 can be obtained by omitting the addition of halides.

Condensation Reaction of Dimethyltin(IV) Oxide with 2‐(2,3‐Dichloroanilino)benzoic Acid Synthesis and Study of a Novel Dimeric Tetraorganodistannoxane

The novel symmetric dimeric tetraorganodistannoxane [(Me₂Sn)₄(DCPA)₂)O₂(OH)₂] ( 2 ) and [(Me₂Sn)₄(DCPA)₂)O₂(OC₂H₅)₂] ( 3 ) where HDCPA is 2‐(2,3‐dichloroanilino)benzoic acid ( 1 ) have been prepared. The crystal structure of 3 has been determined by X‐ray crystallography. Three distannoxane rings are present to the centrosymmetric dimeric tetraorganodistannoxane by virtue of μ₃‐oxo form the central R₄Sn₂O₂ core with a planar Sn₂O₂ ring, resulting in a ladder type structural motif. Five‐coordinated tin atoms are present in the distannoxane dimer. The ligands act as monodentate agents, thus rendering the tin atom five‐coordinated. Significant π → π stacking interactions and intramolecular hydrogen bonds stabilize the structure 3 . The polar imino hydrogen atom participates in intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The formation of the dimeric distannoxanes 2 and 3 represent a ladder‐type carboxylates in which the insertion of a μ₂‐OH or a μ₂‐OC₂H₅ group occurs. This unusual result can be interpreted in terms of a competition between the strength different donors, in which the –OH or the –OC₂H₅ groups show higher donor capacity than the carboxylato group of DCPA.     

Magnesium(II), Calcium(II), and Barium(II) Coordination Compounds Constructed by 1H‐Tetrazolate‐5‐acetic Acid Ligand

Reactions of H₂tza (H₂tza = 1H‐tetrazolate‐5‐acetic acid) with Mg(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O, Ca(NO₃)₂ · 4H₂O, or Ba(NO₃)₂ with the presence of KOH under hydrothermal conditions, produced three new coordination compounds, [M(tza)(H₂O)₂] (M = Mg ( 1 ), Ca ( 2 ), Ba ( 3 )). These compounds were structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Compounds 1 and 3 display 2D structures, whereas 2 reveals a 1D structure with bridging tza ligand molecules as linkers. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of 1 – 3 at room temperature in the solid state were also investigated. The results show that the nature of metal ions play an important role in governing the molecular frameworks of 1 – 3 , and the strong coordinate abilities of carboxylate and tetrazolate group, endow tza with abundant coordination modes.
