Ruthenium-cluster-mediated activation of all bonds of a methyl group of 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline: transformation of the latter into a 2-alkenyl-9-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand

The treatment of [Ru3(CO)12] with 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bipy) or 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2phen) in THF at reflux temperature gives the trinuclear dihydride complexes [Ru3(mu-H)2(mu3-L1)(CO)8] (L1 = HCbipyMe 1 a, HCphenMe 1 b), which result from the activation of two C-H bonds of a methyl group. The hexa-, hepta-, and pentanuclear derivatives [Ru6(mu3-H)(mu5-L2)(mu-CO)3(CO)13] (L2 = CbipyMe 2 a, CphenMe 2 b), [Ru7(mu3-H)(mu5-L2)(mu-CO)2(CO)16] (L2 = CbipyMe 3 a, CphenMe 3 b), and [Ru5(mu-H)(mu5-C)(mu-L3)(CO)13] (L3 = bipyMe 4 a, phenMe 4 b) can also be obtained by treating 1 a and 1 b with [Ru3(CO)12]. Compounds 2 a and 2 b have a basal edge-bridged square-pyramidal metallic skeleton with a carbyne-type C atom capping the four Ru atoms of the pyramid base. The structures of 3 a and 3 b are similar to those of 2 a and 2 b, respectively, but an additional Ru atom now caps a triangular face of the square-pyramidal fragment of the metallic skeleton. The most interesting feature of 2 a, 2 b, 3 a, and 3 b is that their carbyne-type C atoms were originally bound to three hydrogen atoms in Me2bipy or Me2phen and, therefore, they arise from the unprecedented activation of all three C-H bonds of C-bound methyl groups. The pentanuclear compounds 4 a and 4 b contain a carbide ligand surrounded by five Ru atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment. They are the products of a series of processes that includes the activation of all bonds (three C-H and one C-C) of organic methyl groups, and are the first examples of complexes having carbide ligands that arise from C-bonded methyl groups. The alkenyl derivatives [Ru5(mu5-C)(mu-p-MeC6H4CHCHphenMe)(CO)13] (5 b), [Ru5(mu-H)(mu5-C)(mu-p-MeC6H4CHCHphenMe)(p-tolC2)(CO)12] (6 b), and [Ru5(mu-H)(mu5-C)(mu-PhCHCHphenMe)(PhC2)(CO)12] (7 b) have been obtained by treating 4 b with p-tolyl- and phenylacetylene, respectively. Their heterocyclic ligands contain an alkenyl fragment in the position that was originally occupied by a methyl group. Therefore, these complexes are the result of the formal substitution of an alkenyl group for a methyl group of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10- phenanthroline.     

First investigation at elevated pressures to confirm the exact nature of the gated electron-transfer systems: volume profiles of the gated reduction reaction and nongated reverse oxidation reaction involving a [Cu(dmp)2(solvent)]2+/[Cu(dmp)2]+ couple (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)

Redox reactions involving the [Cu(dmp)2]2+/+ couple (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) in acetonitrile were examined at elevated pressures up to 200 MPa. Activation volumes were determined as -8.8 and -6.3 cm3 mol-1 for the reduction cross-reaction by [Co(bipy)3]2+ (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and for the oxidation cross-reaction by [Ni(tacn)2]3+ (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane), respectively. The activation volume for the hypothetical gated mode of the self-exchange reaction estimated from the reduction cross-reaction was -13.9 cm3 mol-1, indicating extensive electrostrictive rearrangement of solvent molecules around the CuII complex during the change in the coordination geometry before the electron-transfer step. On the other hand, the activation volume for the self-exchange reaction estimated from the oxidation cross-reaction was -2.7 +/- 1.5 cm3 mol-1. Although this value was within the range that can be interpreted by the concept of the ordinary concerted process, from theoretical considerations it was concluded that the reverse (oxidation) cross-reaction of the gated reduction reaction of the [Cu(dmp)2(CH3CN)]2+/[Cu(dmp)2]+ couple proceeds through the product excited state while the direct self-exchange reaction between [Cu(dmp)2(CH3CN)]2+ and [Cu(dmp)2]+ proceeds through an ordinary concerted process.

Total enantioselectivity in the DNA binding of the dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex [[Ru(Me2bpy)2]2(mu-bpm)]4+ [bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine; Me2bpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine

The binding of the three stereoisomers (DeltaDelta-, LambdaLambda- and DeltaLambda-) of the dinuclear ruthenium(II) complex [[Ru(Me2bpy)2]2(mu-bpm)]4+ [Me2bpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine] to a tridecanucleotide containing a single adenine bulge has been studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The addition of the DeltaDelta-isomer to d(CCGAGAATTCCGG)2 induced significant chemical shift changes for the base and sugar resonances of the residues at the bulge site (G3A4G5/C11C10), whereas small shifts were observed upon addition of the enantiomeric LambdaLambda-form. NOESY spectra of the tridecanucleotide bound with the DeltaDelta-isomer revealed intermolecular NOE's between the metal complex and the nucleotide residues at the bulge site, while only weak NOE's were observed to terminal residues to the LambdaLambda-form. Competitive binding studies were performed where both enantiomers were simultaneously added to the tridecanucleotide, and for all ratios of the two stereoisomers the DeltaDelta-isomer remained selectively bound at the bulge site with the LambdaLambda-enantiomer localised at the terminal regions of the tridecanucleotide. The meso-diastereoisomer (DeltaLambda) was found to bind to the tridecanucleotide with characteristics intermediate between the DeltaDelta- and LambdaLambda-enantiomers of the rac form. Two distinct sets of metal complex resonances were observed, with one set having essentially the same shift as the free metal complex, whilst the other set of resonances exhibited significant shifts. The NOE data indicated that the meso-diastereoisomer does not bind as selectively as the DeltaDelta-isomer, with NOE's observed to a greater number of nucleotide residues compared to the DeltaDelta-form. This study provides a rare example of total enantioselectivity in the binding of an inert transition metal complex to DNA, produced by the shape recognition of both ruthenium(II) centres.     

Regioselective alkene carbon-carbon bond cleavage to aldehydes and chemoselective alcohol oxidation of allylic alcohols with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [cis-Ru(II)(dmp)2(H2O)2]2+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline)

[reaction: see text] [cis-Ru(II)(dmp)2(H2O)2]2+ (dmp = 2,9-dimethylphenanthroline) was found to be a selective oxidation catalyst using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Thus, primary alkenes were very efficiently oxidized via direct carbon-carbon bond cleavage to the corresponding aldehydes as an alternative to ozonolysis. Secondary alkenes were much less reactive, leading to regioselective oxidation of substrates such as 4-vinylcyclohexene and 7-methyl-1,6-octadiene at the terminal position. Primary allylic alcohols were chemoselectively oxidized to the corresponding allylic aldehydes, e.g., geraniol to citral.     

Molecular and crystal structure of a sterically distorted complex of Pd(II) with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline [Pd(2,9-Me<Subscript>2</Subscript>-phen)Cl<Subscript>2</Subscript>]

A neutral complex of palladium(II) with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline [Pd(2,9-Me₂-phen)Cl₂] (goldish orange colored) is examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystals of [Pd(2,9-Me₂-phen)Cl₂] are monoclinic and belong to the space group P2₁/n (a = 11.8670(7) Å, b = 7.8195(5) Å, c = 14.2418(9) Å, β = 92.5450(10)°, Z = 4, V = 1320.25 ų, R = 0.0289). The complex [Pd(2,9-Me₂-phen)Cl₂] exhibits a strong distortion of the usual square-planar geometry with a deviation of the central Pd²⁺ ion and two chloride acido-ligands from the plane of coordinated 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline. The lengths of two Pd-N bonds are slightly different and are 2.058 Å and 2.067 Å, the lengths of the Pd-Cl bonds are equal and are 2.285 Å. 2,9-Me₂-phen itself also suffers some distortion of the planar geometry resulting in the boat conformation of the molecule. The crystal structure of the [Pd(2,9-Me₂-phen)Cl₂] complex is characterized by the presence of π-π stacked dimers arranged in infinite tilted stacks.     

Cu(I)(2,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline)2+ complexes: correlation between solid-state structure and photoluminescent properties

The 90K solid-state structures, room temperature absorption, and room temperature and 17 K emission spectra of seven different salts of [Cu(I)(bfp)(2)](+) (bfp = 2,9-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,10-phenanthroline) have been determined. To quantify the distortion of the Cu coordination environment, a distortion parameter zeta is defined that is a combined measure of the flattening, rocking, and wagging distortions of the complex cations. In general, the distortion in the (bfp) cations is less than found previously for Cu(I)(dmp)(2) (dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) salts, in particular the flattening is reduced because of the bulkier 2,9-substituents. The 17 K lifetimes range up to 1.8 mus in the series of solids examined and, with the marked exception of the BF(4)(-) salt, correlate linearly with the distortion parameter zeta. The emission wavelength red-shifts with decreasing lifetime, which implies that an increased ground-state distortion is associated with a smaller energy gap.     

Inner-sphere complexation of cobalt(II) 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ([Co(neo)]2+) with commercial and sol-gel derived silica gel surfaces

[Co(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)(solvent)4]2+ ([Co(neo)]2+) undergoes a significant decrease in symmetry to form an inner-sphere surface complex when grafted directly on performed silica or introduced during the sol-gel process. The visible and X-ray absorption spectra of the surface adducts are interpreted in terms of a binding mode in which the Co(II) center has a highly distorted pseudo-C2v symmetry. The interaction of [Co(neo)]2+ with the silica surface was analyzed using an acid-base equilibrium relationship. Half-maximal surface binding was observed at pH ca. 6. Linear fits to the pH dependence data are consistent with inner-sphere binding of a single silanol group to the cobalt center. The formation of the surface species in tetramethoxyorthosilicate (TMOS) sol-gels required approximately 2 equiv of hydroxide anion per cobalt center, suggesting a two-proton-dependent binding event to form a species such as [Co(neo)(SiO)2]. Both sol-gel and silica samples showed essentially identical visible and X-ray absorption spectra, indicating formation of very similar surface adducts when the different synthesis procedures were employed. The maximal binding of [Co(neo)]2+ on three silica samples with different pore diameters and surface areas was compared. Increased binding was found to be inversely proportional to surface area and proportional to pore diameter, indicating a preference for less sterically demanding surface sites.

Two novel bis­(2,9‐dimeth­yl‐1,10‐phenanthroline)copper(I) complexes: [Cu(dmp)2]2(PF6)2·0.5(bpmh)·CH3CN and [Cu(dmp)2][N(CN)2]

Two new salts of the cation [Cu^I(dmp)₂]⁺ (dmp is 2,9‐dimeth­yl‐1,10‐phenanthroline, C₁₄H₁₂N₂), namely bis­[bis­(2,9‐dimeth­yl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)copper(I)] bis­(hexa­fluorophos­phate) hemi[bis­(4‐pyridylmethyl­idene)hydrazine] acetonitrile solvate, [Cu(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)₂]₂(PF₆)₂·0.5C₁₂H₁₀N₄·C₂H₃N or [Cu(dmp)₂]₂(PF₆)₂·0.5(bpmh)·CH₃CN [bpmh is bis­(4‐pyridylmethyl­idene)hydrazine, C₁₂H₁₀N₄], (I), and bis­(2,9‐dimeth­yl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)copper(I) dicyanamide, [Cu(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)₂](C₂N₃) or [Cu(dmp)₂][N(CN)₂], (II), are reported. The Cu—N bond lengths and the distortion from idealized tetra­hedral geometry of the dmp ligands are discussed and compared with related compounds. The bpmh molecule in (I) is π–π stacked with a dmp ligand at a distance of 3.4 Å, rather than coordinated to the metal atom. The molecule lies across an inversion center in the crystal. In (II), the normally coordinated dicyanamide mol­ecule is present as an uncoordinated counter‐ion.     

Structures and interaction with DNA of ternary palladium(II) complexes: [Pd(Gly)(X)] (Gly=glycine; X=2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bi-pyridylamine)

The structures of the ternary palladium(II) complexes of the formulations [Pd(Gly)(bpy)](+)Cl(-).4H(2)O (Gly=glycine; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) (1), [Pd(Gly)(phen)](+)Cl(-).4H(2)O (2) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) and {[Pd(Gly)(bpa)](+)Cl(-)}(2).6H(2)O (3) (bpa=2,2'-bipyridylamine) were determined. All complexes are positively charged and neutralized by the chloride anion located nearby the complexes. The central Pd(II) atoms of the complexes 1, 2 and 3 have a similar distorted square planar coordination geometry, in which each Pd(II) atom is coordinated to two N atoms of the bidentate heterocyclic ligand, and N and O atoms of the bidentate glycine ligand. The interaction of the complexes with calf thymus (CT) DNA was also studied using the fluorescence method. All complexes showed the inhibition of ethidium bromide binding to CT DNA, and the DNA-binding strengths were reflected as the relative order 2>1>3. The remarkable reduction of UV absorption intensity of 2 caused in the presence of DNA suggests the presence of pi-pi stacking interaction between the heterocyclic ring of the phen ligand and nucleobases. The intercalative DNA-binding of 2 is suggested by UV and CD measurements. DNA cleavage studies indicated that the cleavage of the plasmid supercoiled pBR322 DNA in the presence of H(2)O(2) and ascorbic acid could be enhanced by the complexes.
