Three Functionalized Zinc(II)/Cobalt(II) Coordination Complexes Demonstrating Fluorescent Sensing Activities towards Fe3+ Ions and Photocatalytic Selectivity for Organic Dyes

Three new zinc(II)/cobalt(II) coordination complexes [Zn(HBTB)(L)_0.5] ( 1 ), [Zn(HCPPA)(L)] ( 2 ), and [Co(HCPPA)(L)] · 2H₂O ( 3 ) [H₃BTB = 1,3,5-tri(4-carboxylphenyl)benzene, H₃CPPA = 5-(4-carboxyl-phenoxy)-isophthalic acid, L = N¹,N⁴-bis(3-pyridyl)naphthaldiamide] were solvothermally synthesized. The structural characterization reveals that complex 1 represents a 3D coordination framework with a binodal 3,4-connected {4.10²}₂{4.10⁵}₂ topology constructed from the 2D [Zn(HBTB)]_n polymeric double-layers and the bidentate L ligands. Complex 2 is a 1D metal-organic chain derived from the dinuclear [Zn₂(HCPPA)₂] loops and [Zn₂(L)₂] loops. Complex 3 possesses a binodal 3,5-connected {4².6}{4³.6.8⁴.10²} topological 2D layered architecture based on the [Co₂(HCPPA)₂] ribbon chains and the bidentate L ligands. For 2 and 3 , their adjacent chains or layers are respectively stacked into 3D supramolecular architectures via the hydrogen bonds. Moreover, the fluorescent and fluorescent sensing activities towards small solvent molecules of coordination complexes 1 and 2 , the photocatalyitc properties of 1 – 3 towards organic dyes were studied.

The Necessity of Having a Tetradentate Ligand to Extract Copper(II) Ions from Amyloids

The accumulation of redox-active metal ions, in particular copper, in amyloid plaques is considered to the cause of the intensive oxidation damage to the brain of patients with Alzheimers disease (AD). Drug candidates based on a bis(8-aminoquinoline) tetradentate ligand are able to efficiently extract Cu²⁺ from copper-loaded amyloids (Cu–Aβ). Contrarily, in the presence of a bidentate hydroxyquinoline, such as clioquinol, the copper is not released from Aβ, but remains sequestrated within a Aβ–Cu–clioquinol ternary complex that has been characterized by mass spectrometry. Facile extraction of copper(II) at a low amyloid/ligand ratio is essential for the re-introduction of copper in regular metal circulation in the brain. As, upon reduction, the Cu⁺ is easily released from the bis(8-aminoquinoline) ligand unable to accommodate Cu^I, it should be taken by proteins with an affinity for copper. So, the tetradentate bis(8-aminoquinoline) described here might act as a regulator of copper homeostasis.     

Selective Acetylation of Primary Alcohols: Acetyl and Formyl Transfer Reactions with Copper(II) Salts

The efficient esterification of primary and secondary alcohols in acetic acid was achieved in the presence of Cu(NO₃)₂.3H₂O in high yields. Selective acetylation of primary in the presence of secondary hydroxyl groups in excellent yields were performed in EtOAc. Formylation of primary and secondary alcohols was also achieved easily in ethyl formate. High retention of configuration was observed in the acetylation and formylation of (-) menthol in the presence of Cu(NO₃)₂. 3H₂O and Cu(OAc)₂.H₂O.     

A Simple and Highly Effective Ligand System for the Copper(I)‐Mediated Assembly of Rotaxanes

A [2]rotaxane was produced through the assembly of a picolinaldehyde, an amine, and a bipyridine macrocycle around a Cu^I template by imine bond formation in close‐to‐quantitative yield. An analogous [3]rotaxane is obtained in excellent yield by replacing the amine with a diamine, thus showing the suitability of the system for the construction of higher order interlocked structures. The rotaxanes are formed within a few minutes simply through mixing the components in solution at room temperature and they can be isolated through removal of the solvent or precipitation.     

Supramolecular Phosphatases Formed by the Self‐Assembly of the Bis(Zn2+–Cyclen) Complex,Copper(II), and Barbital Derivatives in Water

In our previous paper, we reported that a dimeric Zn²⁺ complex with a 2,2′‐bipyridyl linker (Zn₂L¹), cyanuric acid (CA), and a Cu²⁺ ion automatically assemble in aqueous solution to form 4:4:4 complex 3 , which selectively catalyzes the hydrolysis of mono(4‐nitrophenyl)phosphate (MNP) at neutral pH. Herein, we report that the use of barbital (Bar) instead of CA for the self‐assembly with Zn₂L¹ and Cu²⁺ induces 2:2:2 complexation of these components, and not the 4:4:4 complex, to form supramolecular complex 6 a , the structure and equilibrium characteristics of which were studied by analytical and physical measurements. The finding show that 6 a also accelerates the hydrolysis of MNP, similarly to 3 . Moreover, inspired by the crystal structure of 6 a , we prepared barbital units that contain functional groups on their side chains in an attempt to produce supramolecular phosphatases that possess functional groups near the Cu₂(μ‐OH)₂ catalytic core so as to mimic the catalytic center of alkaline phosphatase (AP).     

A Dual‐Functional Metallogel of Amphiphilic Copper(II) Quinolinol: Redox Responsiveness and Enantioselectivity

A dual‐functional metallogel, which was based on the copper(II) complex of quinolinol‐substituted L ‐glutamide, showed both redox‐responsive and enantioselective properties; moreover, the metallogels collapsed into a sol after reduction and could be revived upon subsequent oxidation. The supramolecular chirality and morphology also reversible changed with the gel–sol transition. Furthermore, the metallogels showed new enantioselective recognition towards chiral aromatic amino acids. A new emission band in the blue‐light region at around 393 nm appeared when the metallogels encountered L ‐aromatic amino acids, whereas no new emission band was observed for the corresponding D ‐aromatic amino acids. Such enantioselectivity only occurred in the gel state. No similar phenomenon could be observed in solution. This result suggested that, during the gel formation, the gelator molecules self‐assembled into ordered, chiral supramolecular structures and enhanced the enantiorecognition of the L ‐aromatic amino acids.     

Selective Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohols to Aldehydes with a Salophen Copper(II) Complex and tert-Butyl Hydroperoxide at Room Temperature

An efficient and selective oxidation of benzyl alcohols has been developed using a salophen copper(II) complex as the catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant in the presence of base. Moderate to excellent yields of the corresponding benzaldehydes were obtained at room temperature without the carboxylic acids being formed.     

Selective Detection of Mercury（Ⅱ） and Copper（Ⅱ） Based on the Opposite Size-dependent Fluorescence Quenching of CdTe Quantum Dots

Three different size CdTe quantum dots （QDs） capped by 3-mercaptopropionic acid （MPA） have been prepared in aqueous solutions, and their interactions with Cu^2＋ and Hg^2＋ have been investigated. The opposite size-dependent fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs by Hg^2＋ and Cu^2＋ was observed： Hg^2＋ quenched smaller particles more efficiently than larger ones while larger particles were more markedly quenched by Cu^2＋. Based on the different size responses, Hg^2＋ and Cu^2＋ were respectively detected with high sensitivity and selectivity, for the first time, using the QDs with different sizes but the same components and capping ligands.     

Copper(II)‐Mediated Self‐Assembly of Hairpin Peptides and Templated Synthesis of CuS Nanowires

The self‐assembly of peptides and proteins under well‐controlled conditions underlies important nanostructuring processes that could be harnessed in practical applications. Herein, the synthesis of a new hairpin peptide containing four histidine residues is reported and the self‐assembly process mediated by metal ions is explored. The work involves the combined use of circular dichroism, NMR spectroscopy, UV/Vis spectroscopy, AFM, and TEM to follow the structural and morphological details of the metal‐coordination‐mediated folding and self‐assembly of the peptide. The results indicate that by forming a tetragonal coordination geometry with four histidine residues, copper(II) ions selectively trigger the peptide to fold and then self‐assemble into nanofibrils. Furthermore, the copper(II)‐bound nanofibrils template the synthesis of CuS nanowires, which display a near‐infrared laser‐induced thermal effect.

Investigation of Copper(II) Interference on the Anodic Stripping Voltammetry of Lead(II) and Cadmium(II) at Bismuth Film Electrode

The bismuth‐coated electrode is known to be prone to errors caused by copper(II). This study investigates copper(II) interference at bismuth film electrode for the detection of lead(II) and cadmium(II). It was conducted using glassy carbon electrode, while the bismuth film was plated in situ simultaneously with the target metal ions at ? 1200 mV. Copper(II) presented in solution significantly reduced the sensitivity of the electrode, for example there was an approximately 70 % and 90 % decrease in peak signals for lead(II) and cadmium(II), respectively, at a 10‐fold molar excess of copper(II). The decrease in sensitivity was ascribed to the competition between copper and bismuth or the metal ions for surface active sites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX) analysis suggested a large decrease in the amount of bismuth nanoparticles formed on the electrode surface in the presence of copper(II) occurred, validating the competition between copper and bismuth ions for surface active sites. Recovery of the stripping signal of lead(II) and cadmium(II) was obtained by adding ferrocyanide ion to the solution. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied to determine lead(II) and cadmium(II) in water samples and the method was validated by ICP‐MS technique.     

Effect of Ethylene Glycol and Its Oligomers on the Copper(II) Electroreduction Kinetics in Halide-Containing Acid Sulfate Solutions

The kinetics of the copper electroreduction in acid sulfate solutions containing ethylene glycol derivatives (EG) with the common formula HO-(CH₂-CH₂-O)_m-H is studied by means of voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy. All the EG (m≤6) display weak surface activity and barely effect the cathodic kinetics in the absence of halides. Halides can initiate inhibiting adsorption of EG only when the number of ether oxygen atoms in them is 3 (m ≤ 4), by inhibiting the first-electron transfer onto ions Cu²⁺. These effects are discussed invoking notions on the formation of pseudocrown structures in the adsorption layer.     

X-ray and solution structures of Cu(II) GHK and Cu(II) DAHK complexes: influence on their redox properties

The Gly‐His‐Lys (GHK) peptide and the Asp‐Ala‐His‐Lys (DAHK) sequences are naturally occurring high‐affinity copper(II) chelators found in the blood plasma and are hence of biological interest. A structural study of the copper complexes of these peptides was conducted in the solid state and in solution by determining their X‐ray structures, and by using a large range of spectroscopies, including EPR and HYSCORE (hyperfine sub‐level correlation), X‐ray absorption and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that the structures of [Cu^II(DAHK)] in the solid state and in solution are similar and confirm the equatorial coordination sphere of NH₂, two amidyl N and one imidazole N. Additionally, a water molecule is bound apically to Cu^II as revealed by the X‐ray structure. As reported previously in the literature, [Cu^II(GHK)], which exhibits a dimeric structure in the solid state, forms a monomeric complex in solution with three nitrogen ligands: NH₂, amidyl and imidazole. The fourth equatorial site is occupied by a labile oxygen atom from a carboxylate ligand in the solid state. We probe that fourth position and study ternary complexes of [Cu^II(GHK)] with glycine or histidine. The Cu^II exchange reaction between different DAHK peptides is very slow, in contrast to [Cu^II(GHK)], in which the fast exchange was attributed to the presence of a [Cu^II(GHK)₂] complex. The redox properties of [Cu^II(GHK)] and [Cu^II(DAHK)] were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and by measuring the ascorbate oxidation in the presence of molecular oxygen. The measurements indicate that both Cu^II complexes are inert under moderate redox potentials. In contrast to [Cu^II(DAHK)], [Cu^II(GHK)] could be reduced to Cu^I around ?0.62 V (versus AgCl/Ag) with subsequent release of the Cu ion. These complete analyses of structure and redox activity of those complexes gave new insights with biological impact and can serve as models for other more complicated Cu^II–peptide interactions.
