Condensation of 1-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-2-one with 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.1^3,8]dodecane gave 1-( pyridin-4-yl)-3,6-diazahomoadamantan-9-one as intermediate product in the synthesis of 1-(pyridin-4-yl)-3,6-diazahomoadamantane and its derivatives having functional substituents at the bridging carbon atom in the homoadamantane skeleton.     

Structures and properties of Sm(III) coordination polymers based on 2-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate

Two novel 1D and 3D Sm(III) coordination polymers involving the 2-pyridin-4-yl-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (H₃PIDC) ligand have been characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination polymers were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Coordination polymer 1 gave a 1D zigzag chain, then forming 3D supramolecular structure through π?π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. Coordination polymer 2, in which oxalate was introduced as the second ligand gave a 3D framework with a 3,3-connected (4.8⁵)(4.8²) topology structure. But the luminescence of the coordination polymers has significant quenching.

In the title compound, C₈H₆N₄O₂, the tetrazole and benzene rings are planar to within 0.001 (1) and 0.007 (1) Å, respectively. These rings are not coplanar in the mol­ecule, the dihedral angle between them being 52.90 (4)°.

Synthesis,crystal structure and luminescence of a 3-D coordination polymer based on 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) benzoic acid

A cobalt(II) coordination polymer [Co(4-TZBA^2?)(H₂O)₂] (1) was obtained by treatment of Co(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O with 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzoic acid [H₂(4-TZBA)] under hydrothermal conditions. The X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals that 1 crystallizes in monoclinic P2₁/c, with a = 10.503(2) Å, b = 9.0860(18) Å, c = 10.179(2) Å, β = 96.75(3)° and Z = 4. In 1, adjacent cobalt(II) atoms are bridged by two 4-TZBA^2? ligands to form a dimer, which is linked with six dimers to result in a 3-D structure. 1 exhibits strong luminescence at room temperature in the solid state.     

New polymer syntheses. LXVI. Copolyester of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and 3-(4'-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid or 4-(3'-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid

Copolyesters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) and 3-(4'-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid were prepared by two different procedures. Either the acetyl derivatives were polycondensed in bulk at temperatures up to 300°C or they were polycondensed in an inert reactions medium (Marlotherm-S) at 340°C. Two analogous series of copolyesters were synthesized from 4-acetoxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) and 4-(3'-acetoxyphenoxy)benzoic acid. The copolyesters were characterized by elemental analyses, inherent viscosities, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, WAXS and DSC measurements, and by optical microscopy. All copolyesters synthesized in solution were highly crystalline materials which were neither meltable nor soluble. Part of the copolyesters prepared by polycondensation in bulk were semi-crystalline, meltable, and soluble. The copolyester derived from 3-(4'-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid proved to be thermotropic forming a nematic melt, whereas the isomeric copolyesters of 4-(3'-hydroxyphenoxy)benzoic acid only formed isotropic melts. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Heterometallic metal-organic frameworks based on tris(dipyrrinato) coordination complexes

A novel class of heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been synthesized and characterized. The MOFs rely on the use of tris(dipyrrinato) coordination complexes as the bridging structure and silver(I) ions as the linking unit. The building blocks and resulting MOFs have been structurally characterized by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The modular nature of this approach is demonstrated by the use of both iron(III) and cobalt(III) complexes. The MOFs have strong electronic absorption features originating from the metal-dipyrrin chromophore and have continuous channels throughout the lattice that are occupied by ordered and disordered solvent molecules.     

Synthesis of 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane, 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, a class of potent nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-ligands

In an attempt to generate nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) ligands selective for the alpha4beta2 and alpha7 subtype receptors we designed and synthesized constrained versions of anabasine, a naturally occurring nAChR ligand. 2-(Pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane, and several of their derivatives have been synthesized in both an enantioselective and a racemic manner utilizing the same basic synthetic approach. For the racemic synthesis, alkylation of N-(diphenylmethylene)-1-(pyridin-3-yl)methanamine with the appropriate bromoalkyltetrahydropyran gave intermediates which were readily elaborated into 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane via a ring opening/aminocyclization sequence. An alternate synthesis of 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane via the alkylation of N-(1-(pyridin-3-ylethylidene)propan-2-amine has also been achieved. The enantioselective syntheses followed the same general scheme, but utilized imines derived from (+)- and (-)-2-hydroxy-3-pinanone. Chiral HPLC shows that the desired compounds were synthesized in >99.5% ee. X-ray crystallography was subsequently used to unambiguously characterize these stereochemically pure nAChR ligands. All compounds synthesized exhibited high affinity for the alpha4beta2 nAChR subtype ( K i < or = 0.5-15 nM), a subset bound with high affinity for the alpha7 receptor subtype ( K i < or = 110 nM), selectivity over the alpha3beta4 (ganglion) receptor subtype was seen within the 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane series and for the muscle (alpha1betagammadelta) subtype in the 2-(pyridin-3-yl)-1-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane series.     

A twofold interpenetrated 3-D Cu(II) coordination polymer based on 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid: synthesis,crystal structure,and magnetic properties

A new copper(II) coordination polymer, [Cu(PIA)·2H₂O]_n (1) [H₂PIA = 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid], has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, TGA, powder, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis shows that each PIA^2? in 1 bridges three Cu(II) ions, and likewise each Cu(II) ion connects to three PIA^2? ligands, giving a 3-D framework with utp topology and left-/right-handed helical channels. Interestingly, two such identical frameworks interlock with each other to generate a twofold interpenetrated structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. In addition, the thermal stability and the magnetic properties of 1 have been investigated.     

A series of pillar-layer metal-organic frameworks based on 5-aminoisophthalic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine

Four new compounds, [Cd(5-aip)(bpy)]·1.5DMA (1), [Cu(5-aip)(bpy)]·1.3DMA (2), [Co(5-aip)(bpy)]·1.6DMA (3), and [Cd(5-aip)(bpy)(0.5)(H(2)O)]·1.3DMA (4), based on 5-aminoisophthalic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine, have been synthesized by the solvothermal method and structurally determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1-3 are structurally similar and show non-interpenetrating three-dimensional (3D) pillar-layer frameworks, while compound 4 displays a two-dimensional (2D) (3,4)-connected parallel non-interpenetrating architecture. In all these compounds, 1D rectangular channels are observed and the ligand 5-aminoisophthalic acid exhibits three kinds of coordination modes. Furthermore, 1 displays a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation when immersed in a methanol solution. More significantly, 1 can absorb and deliver I(2) molecules by means of its channels, and could induce a reversible luminescent transformation from quenching to the initial state. The luminescent properties of 1 and 4 have also been studied.     

Synthesis,Structure and Photocatalytic Activity of Two 4-(2,6-Di(pyrazin-2-yl)pyridin-4-yl)benzoate-Based Chain Complexes

Two new one-dimensional chains extended by alternate benzenedicarboxylate(BDC) and 4-(2,6-di(pyrazin-2-yl)pyridin-4-yl)benzoate(L~-) connectors, {[Cu(L)(BDC)_(0.5)]·3.5 H_2 O}_n (1) and {[Zn(L)(BDC)_(0.5)] ·H_2 O}_n (2), were solvothermally synthesized. Complex 1 is in triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 9.6456(14), b = 11.1160(16), c = 12.0414(18) ?, α = 106.266(3), β = 92.277(3), γ =108.104(3)°, V = 1166.6(3) ?~3, D_c = 1.603 g·cm~(-3), Mr = 563.00, Z = 2, F(000) = 578, μ = 0.996 mm~(-1), the final R = 0.0575 and wR = 0.1386 for 3704 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 28.607(5), b = 8.9767(16), c = 19.705(4) ?, β = 125.396(3)°, V = 4125.0(13) ?~3, D_c = 1.674 g·cm~(-3), Mr = 519.79, Z = 8, F(000) = 2120, μ = 1.242 mm~(-1), the final R = 0.0487 and w R = 0.0907 for 2944 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Resulting from the narrower band gap and broader response to visible light, the CuII-chain exhibits better photocatalytic performance towards the degradation of rhodamine B and methylene blue than those of ZnII-chain.

Preparation and spectroelectrochemical characterization of composite films of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) with 4-(pyrrole-1-yl) benzoic acid

The possibility of incorporation of 4-(pyrrole-1-yl) benzoic acid, PyBA, during electrodeposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, is demonstrated here. The resulting novel composite material has been fabricated as moderately thin (ca 200–300 nm thick) PEDOT/PyBA film on electrode surface. As evidenced from scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), morphology of the composite film is dense and granular, and it is composed of larger granules in comparison to the PyBA-free PEDOT film. It is apparent from infrared reflectance absorption spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemical measurements that the PEDOT/PyBA composite film cannot be viewed as simple mixtures of PEDOT and PyBA components. Some specific (chemical) interactions between PEDOT and PyBA can be expected. The conducting polymer serves as a robust, positively charged conductive polmer matrix for anionic (carboxylate-group derivatized) partially polymerized PyBA structures. Upon incorporation of PyBA, the overall stability of PEDOT film (resistance to dissolution during prolonged voltammetric potential cycling) has been improved. The fact, that the composite PEDOT/PyBA film is capable of preconcentrating (under open circuit conditions) both cations (Cu²⁺) or anions implies the presence of both free (available for binding) carboxylate groups and positively charged PEDOT sites. The presence of PyBA in PEDOT seems to facilitate charge propagation in the composite film. “Contribution to the International Workshop on Electrochemistry of Electroactive Materials (WEEM-2006), Repino, Russia, 24–29 June 2006”.     

Microwave assisted solvent-free synthesis of N-phenyl-4-(pyridin-4-yl)thiazoles and their drug-likeness studies

A new, fast and solvent-free method is offers to synthesize thiazoles by condensation of 4-bromoacetylpyridine with substituted N-phenylthiourea under microwave irradiation. This approach delivers good to excellent yields of thiazoles within 5 min without using any catalyst and allows various functionalities. In comparison to the traditional heating approach, this method enables for the synthesis of different thiazole analogues with several advantages. In compliance with the Lipinski rule of five, the synthesized analogues demonstrated drug-like characteristics.     

Multienzymatic preparation of (−)-[3-(oxiran-2-yl)phenyl]methanol and (−)-3-(oxiran-2-yl)benzoic acid

The cascade use of enzymatic activities allows for the preparation of enantiomerically pure epoxides. In particular, using whole-cell biocatalysts we can prepare both (?)-[3-(oxiran-2-yl)phenyl]methanol and (?)-3-(oxiran-2-yl)benzoic acid in one-pot, two or three steps procedure. The yield is quantitative and enantiomeric purity greater than 95%. The selected biocatalysts contain a styrene monoxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens ST and a naphthalene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase from P. fluorescens N3, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli.     

Synthesis and characterization of metal-organic frameworks based on 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid ligands

The self-assembly of 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H(3)CAM) and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (H2PDA) with Zn(II) salts under hydrothermal conditions gave two novel coordination polymers {[Zn(HCAM)].H2O}n (1) and {[Zn(PDA)(H2O)(1.5)]}n (1a). 1 and 1a comprise of a 2D (4,4) net and a 1D zigzag chain, respectively, in which a new coordination mode of PDA is found. The reactions of H(3)CAM and H2PDA with Nd2O3 in the M/L ratio 2:3 gave {[Nd2(HCAM)3(H2O)4].2H2O}n (2) and {[Nd(2)(PDA)3(H2O)(3)].0.5H2O}n (2a). In 2, a square motif as a building block constructed by four Nd(III) ions was further assembled into a highly ordered 2D (4,4) grid. 2a is a 3D microporous coordination polymer. It is interesting to note that, when Ln(III) salts rather than oxides were employed, the reaction produced {[Ln(CAM)(H2O)3].H2O}n (Ln = Gd, 3; Dy, 4; Er, 5) for H(3)CAM and {[Gd2(PDA)3(H2O)3].H2O}n (3a) for H2PDA. 3-5 are 2D coordination polymers with a 3(3)4(2) uniform net, where hydroxyl groups of H3CAM coordinate with metal ions. The reaction of H3CAM and Er2O3 instead of Er(ClO4)3 produced {[Er2(HCAM)3(H2O)4].2H2O}n (6). The compounds 2a and 3a, 2 and 6 are isomorphous. The stereochemical and supramolecular effects of hydroxyl groups result in the dramatic structural changes from 1D (1a) to 2D (1) and from 2D (2) to 3D (2a). When Ln(III) salts instead of Ln2O3 were employed in the hydrothermal reactions with H(3)CAM, different self-assembly processes gave the products of different metal/ligand ratio with reactants (3-5).     

Ionothermal syntheses and characterization of 2-D coordination polymers with 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) benzoic acid

4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) benzoic acid and its coordination polymers [M(IBA)Cl] _n (M?=?Zn (1) and Co (2)) have been synthesized. Compounds 1 and 2 were obtained under ionothermal conditions and possess a 2-D laminar [M(IBA)] _n layer based on M₂(CO₂)₂ building blocks with coordinated chloride completing tetrahedral coordination of the metal. Compound 1 exhibits two photoluminescence emission peaks at 410 and 510?nm. The low-energy emission can be attributed to ligand-centered transition and the high-energy band can be assigned to ligand-to-metal charge transfer between the aromatic systems of the organic ligands and the 4s orbitals of Zn(II). The role of the ionic liquid in ionothermal synthesis and crystallization of 1 and 2 are briefly discussed.
