Lanthanide complexes with acetylacetonate and 5,10,15,20-tetra[para-(4-chlorobenzoyloxy)-meta-ethyloxy]-phenyl porphyrin

Lanthanide complexes of acetylacetonate and 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra[para-(4-chloro-benzoyloxy)-meta-ethyloxy]phenyl porphyrin having the general formula Ln[(ClBOEP)₄P]acac (where Ln=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er; ClBOEP=[para-(4-chlorobenzoyloxy)-meta-ethyloxy]phenyl; Hacac=acetylacetone; P=porphyrin) have been prepared and characterized. A structure is proposed in which one 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra[para-(4-chloro-benzoyloxy)-meta-ethyloxy]phenyl porphyrin is coordinated to a rare earth ion in a tetradentate fashion, while one acetylacetonate is coordinated to the same metal ion in a bidentate fashion.     

Synthesis, characterization, and DNA-binding and -photocleavage properties of water-soluble lanthanide porphyrinate complexes

A series of cationic lanthanide porphyrinate complexes of the general formula [(Por)Ln(H(2)O)(3)](+) (Ln(3+)=Yb(3+) and Er(3+)) were synthesized in moderate yields through the interaction of meso-pyridyl-substituted porphyrin free bases (H(2)Por) with [Ln{N(SiMe(3))(2)}(3)]·x[LiCl(thf)(3)], and the corresponding neutral derivatives [(Por)Ln(L(OMe))] (L(OMe)(-)=[(η(5)-C(5)H(5))Co{P(=O)(OMe)(2)}(3)](-)) were also prepared from [(Por)Ln(H(2)O)(3)](+) by the addition of the tripodal anion, L(OMe)(-), an effective encapsulating agent for lanthanide ions. Furthermore, the water-soluble lanthanide(III) porphyrinate complexes--including [(cis-DMPyDPP)Yb(H(2)O)(3)]Cl(3) (cis-DMPyDPP=5,10-bis(N-methylpyridinium-4'-y1)-15,20-di(phenyl)porphyrin), [(trans-DMPyDPP)Yb(H(2)O)(3)]Cl(3) (trans-DMPyDPP=5,15-bis(N-methylpyridinium-4'-y1)-10,20-di(phenyl)porphyrin), [(TMPyP)Yb(L(OMe))]I(4), and [(TMPyP)Er(L(OMe))]I(4) (TMPyP=tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-4-y1)porphyrin)--were obtained by methylation of the corresponding complexes with methyl iodide and unambiguously characterized. The binding interactions and photocleavage activities of the water-soluble lanthanide(III) porphyrinate complexes towards DNA were investigated by UV-visible, fluorescence, and near-infrared luminescence spectroscopy, as well as circular dichroism and gel electrophoresis.     

NMR investigation of intramolecular dynamics of heteroleptic triple-decker (porphyrinato)(phthalocyaninato) lanthanides

Intramolecular dynamics of meso-aryl substituents of porphyrin deck in the triple-decker lanthanide (porphyrinato)(phthalocyaninates) of symmetrical type [Br(4)TPP]Ln[(15C5)(4)Pc]Ln[Br(4)TPP] (Ln = La, Nd, Eu; [Br(4)TPP] = tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-bromophenyl)-porphyrinato-ligand; [(15C5)(4)Pc] = tetrakis-(15-crown-5)-phthalocyaninato-ligand) are investigated. Attempts to achieve coalescence were not successful, although the trend of exchanging protons to coalescence point was observed in the case of Nd and Eu complexes. The analysis of NOESY cross-peaks between exchanging protons allowed to evaluate the rotation rate constants at different temperatures. The activation barrier of the meso-aryl substituent rotation was calculated with Arrhenius equation based on determined rate constants. The rate constants are lower and activation barriers are higher than ones found previously for related compounds.

Synthesis and properties of 5,10,15,20‐tetra[(4‐alkoxy‐3‐ethyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin hydroxylanthanide liquid crystal complexes

Twelve 5, 10, 15, 20‐tetra[(4‐alkoxy‐3‐ethyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin hydroxylanthanide complexes Ln[(C _n OEOP)₄P](OH) (n?=?12, 14, 16;Ln?=?Tb, Dy, Er, Yb) and three ligands have been synthesized and their composition, structure and spectral properties studied. Their liquid crystalline behaviour is also presented. Differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy reveal that all exhibit a discotic liquid crystalline phase. X‐ray diffraction shows that the mesophase is a hexagonal columnar, Col_h. The lanthanide ion, which is coordinated to the four nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin and to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl group, is out of the porphyrin molecular plane. All the complexes are stable below 200°C and undergo complete decomposition at 800°C. The fluorescence quantum yields of the lanthanide complexes are much lower than those of the corresponding ligands. The electrochemical studies show that the redox potentials do not change on varying the chain length.

Facile Synthesis and Enhanced Nonlinear Optical Properties of Porphyrin‐Functionalized Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Two multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)‐based nanohybrids, MWCNT–ZnTPP and MWCNT–TPP (TPP=5‐[4‐{2‐(4‐formylphenoxy)‐ ethyloxy}phenyl]‐10,15,20‐triphenylporphyrin, ZnTPP=5‐[4‐{(4‐formylphenyl)ethynyl}phenyl]‐10,15,20‐triphenylporphinatozinc(II)), were prepared directly from pristine MWCNTs through 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Covalent attachment of the porphyrins to the surfaces of the MWCNTs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible absorption, fluorescence, Raman, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Attachment of the porphyrin moieties to the surface of the MWCNTs significantly improves the solubility and ease of processing of these MWCNT–porphyrin composite materials. Z‐scan studies reveal that these MWCNT–porphyrin nanohybrids exhibit enhanced nonlinear optical properties under both nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses at λ=532 nm in comparison with free MWCNTs and the free porphyrin chromophores, whereas superior optical limiting performance was displayed by MWCNT–porphyrin composite materials rather than MWCNTs/ZnTPP and MWCNTs/TPP blends, which is consistent with a remarkable accumulation effect as a result of the covalent linkage between the porphyrin and the MWCNTs.     

Synthesis and properties of 5,10,15,20-tetra[(4-alkoxy-3-ethyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin hydroxylanthanide liquid crystal complexes

Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Based on Efficient Energy and Electron Transfers in Donor–Bridge–Acceptor Multibranched‐Porphyrin‐Functionalized Platinum Nanocomposites

Two donor–bridge–acceptor conjugates (5,10,15,20‐tetrakis[4‐(N,N‐diphenylaminobenzoate)phenyl] porphyrin (TPPZ) and 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis[4‐(N,N‐diphenylaminostyryl)phenyl] porphyrin (TPPX)) were covalently linked to triphenylamine (TPA) at the meso‐position of porphyrin ring. The triphenylamine entities were expected to act as energy donors and the porphyrins to act as an energy acceptor. In this paper, we report on the synthesis of these multibranched‐porphyrin‐functionalized Pt nanocomposites. The conjugates used here not only served as a stabilizer to prevent agglomeration of Pt nanoparticles, but also as a light‐harvesting photosensitizer. The occurrence of photoinduced electron‐transfer processes was confirmed by time‐resolved fluorescence and photoelectrochemical spectral measurements. The different efficiencies for energy and electron transfer in the two multibranched porphyrins and the functionalized Pt nanocomposites were attributed to diverse covalent linkages. Moreover, in the reduction of water to produce H₂, the photocatalytic activity of the Pt nanocomposite functionalized by TPPX, in which the triphenylamine and porphyrin moieties are bonded through an ethylene bridge, was much higher than that of the platinum nanocomposite functionalized by TPPZ, in which the two moieties are bonded through an ester. This investigation demonstrates the fundamental advantages of constructing donor–bridge–acceptor conjugates as highly efficient photosensitizers based on efficient energy and electron transfer.     

LANTHANIDE COMPLEXES OF ACETYLACETONATE-MESO-TETRA-(4-PYRIDYL)PORPHYRIN

Cellular uptake and photocytotoxicity of glycoconjugated chlorins in HeLa cells

Eight 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3- or 4-(beta-D-glycopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorins were synthesized by means of the Whitlock method with diimide reduction and purified by reversed-phase thin layer chromatography (RP-TLC). All compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy, electron-spray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF MS), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. ESI-TOF MS could detect the 2H difference in molecular weight between a glycoconjugated chlorin and its corresponding porphyrin (i.e., 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3- or 4-(beta-D-glycopyranosyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin). The cellular uptake of the eight chlorins was evaluated in HeLa cells. All glycoconjugated chlorins showed higher cellular uptake than tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS), and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(beta-D-xylopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin showed 50-fold higher uptake than TPPS. The photocytotoxicity of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(beta-D-xylopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin and TPPS towards HeLa cells was examined at the concentration of 2x10(-7) M (mol/dm(3)). These photosensitizers had no cytotoxicity in the dark, but their photocytotoxicity decreased in the order of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin>5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(beta-D-xylopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin>TPPS. The results indicate that the photocytotoxicity is not related simply to cellular uptake.     

A novel method for the synthesis of regiospecifically sulfonated porphyrin monomers and dimers

A novel method has been developed to regiospecifically synthesize water-soluble sulfonated porphyrin monomers tetrakis(4′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, tetrakis(3′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, tetrakis(2′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, tetrakis(2′,5′-dimethyl-4′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, the dimers of 1,2-bis[5,10,15-tri(4′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinyl]benzene and 1,2-bis[5,10,15-tri(2′,5′-dimethyl-4′-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinyl]benzene in high yields through introduction of the trimethylsilyl group on the phenyl rings and reaction with trimethylsilyl chlorosulfonate in CCl₄ solvent.     

One-dimensional lanthanide complexes bridged by nitronyl nitroxide radical ligands with non-chelating nitrogen donors: Structure and magnetic characterization

A series of new lanthanide-radical complexes [{Ln(hfac)3}2(NITPhIM)2] (Ln = Nd (1), Eu (2), Tb (3), Er (4); hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NITPhIM = 2-[4-(1-imidazole)phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) have been prepared and characterized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that these complexes are isostructural with one-dimensional chain structures. These consist in Ln(hfac)3 units bridged by the paramagnetic ligands by the means of coordination of their nitronyl nitroxide groups and imidazole rings. Interestingly, each Ln ion is either bound to two nitronyl nitroxide groups or to two imidazole units, and the different Ln centers alternate along the chain. Magnetic studies show that complex 3 exhibits a single-chain magnet behavior.     

Optically active polyacrylamides bearing an oxazoline pendant: Influence of stereoregularity on both chiroptical properties and chiral recognition

Enantiopure acrylamide derivatives, N‐[o‐(4‐methyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl) phenyl]acrylamide (MeOPAM), N‐[o‐(4‐isopropyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenyl]acrylamide (PrⁱOPAM), and N‐[o‐(4‐phenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenyl]acrylamide (PhOPAM), were synthesized and radically polymerized in the presence of rare earth metal trifluoromethanesulfonates (Ln(OTf)₃, Ln = La, Nd, Sm, and Y) to yield corresponding optically active polymers. Among these Lewis acids, Y(OTf)₃ was found to be most effective for increasing the isotactic specificity during the radical polymerizations when using n‐butanol as solvent. Also, the effect of the Lewis acids was significantly influenced by the ratio of Ln(OTf)₃ to monomer. The relationship of both chiroptical property and the chiral recognition with the stereoregularity was then examined for the resulting polymers having various tacticity by spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, fluorescence, and circular dichroism. The results indicated that the polymers rich in isotacticity exhibited a favorable enantioselective discrimination ability toward 1,1′‐bi‐2‐naphthol as evidenced by ¹H NMR study, where the characteristic hydroxyl proton signal was split into two peaks that ascribed respectively to the levo‐ and dextro‐isomer; furthermore, the splitting magnitude was linearly correlated with the diad isotacticity of the polymers. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Optimizing sensitization processes in dinuclear luminescent lanthanide oligomers: selection of rigid aromatic spacers

This work illustrates a simple approach for optimizing the lanthanide luminescence in molecular dinuclear lanthanide complexes and identifies a particular multidentate europium complex as the best candidate for further incorporation into polymeric materials. The central phenyl ring in the bis-tridentate model ligands L3–L5, which are substituted with neutral (X = H, L3), electron-withdrawing (X = F, L4), or electron-donating (X = OCH3, L5) groups, separates the 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine binding units of linear oligomeric multi-tridentate ligand strands that are designed for the complexation of luminescent trivalent lanthanides, Ln(III). Reactions of L3–L5 with [Ln(hfac)3(diglyme)] (hfac– is the hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion) produce saturated single-stranded dumbbell-shaped complexes [Ln2(Lk)(hfac)6] (k = 3–5), in which the lanthanide ions of the two nine-coordinate neutral [N3Ln(hfac)3] units are separated by 12–14 ?. The thermodynamic affinities of [Ln(hfac)3] for the tridentate binding sites in L3–L5 are average (6.6 ≤ log(β(2,1)(Y,Lk)) ≤ 8.4) but still result in 15–30% dissociation at millimolar concentrations in acetonitrile. In addition to the empirical solubility trend found in organic solvents (L4 > L3 > L5), which suggests that the 1,4-difluorophenyl spacer in L4 is preferable, we have developed a novel tool for deciphering the photophysical sensitization processes operating in [Eu2(Lk)(hfac)6]. A simple interpretation of the complete set of rate constants characterizing the energy migration mechanisms provides straightforward objective criteria for the selection of [Eu2(L4)(hfac)6] as the most promising building block.
