Synthese und Struktur von [(Ph3PAu)3NPPh3][PF6]2, einem Gold(I)‐phosphoraniminato‐Komplex

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃][PF₆]₂, a Gold(I) Phosphoraneiminato Complex The photolytic reaction of Ph₃PAuN₃ with Cr(CO)₆ in THF yields the phosphoraneiminato complex [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃]²⁺ in low yield as well as the cluster cation [(Ph₃PAu)₈]²⁺ as the main product. The phosphoraneiminato complex crystallizes from CH₂Cl₂ with [PF₆]^? ions as [(Ph₃PAu)₃NPPh₃][PF₆]₂·CH₂Cl₂ in the triclinic space group with a = 1200.8(1), b = 1495.6(2), 2053.5(5), α = 86.97(2)°, β = 82.79(1)°, γ = 81.87(2)°, and Z = 2. The phosphoraneiminato ligand bridges through its N atom three Au atoms, which itself are connected to each other by weak aurophilic interactions.     

UVA-INDUCED AUTOCRINE STIMULATION OF FIBROBLAST-DERIVED COLLAGENASE/MMP-1 BY INTERRELATED LOOPS OFINTERLEUKIN–1 andINTERLEUKIN–6

Abstract— Previous work has shown that fibroblast-derived collagenase/matrix-metalloproteinase-1(MMP–1), responsible for the breakdown of dermal interstitial collagen, was dose-dependently induced in vitro and in vivo by UVA irradiation and this induction was at least partly mediated byinterleukin–6(IL–6). We here provide evidence that UVA-inducedIL–1α andIL–1β play a central role in the induction of the synthesis both ofIL–6 and collagenase/MMP–1. In contrast to the late increase ofIL–1α andIL–1β mRNA levels at 6 h postirradiation, bioactivity ofIL–1 is already detectable at 1 h postirradiation. This early peak ofIL–1 bioactivity appears to be responsible for the induction ofIL–6 synthesis and together withIL–6 lead to an increase of the steady-state mRNA level of collagenase/MMP–1 as deduced from studies usingIL–1α andIL–1β antisense oligonucleotides or neutralizing antibodies againstIL–1α andIL–1β Besides the early posttranslationally controlled release of intracellularIL–1, a latter pretranslationally controlled synthesis and release ofIL–1 perpetuates the UV response. From these data we suggest a UV-induced cytokine network consisting ofIL–1α,IL–1β andIL–6, which via interrelated autocrine loops induce collagenase/MMP–1 and thus may contribute to the loss of interstitial collagen in cutaneous photoaging.     

exo/endo-Selectivity in the Reaction of ‘Bare’ FeO+ with Bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (Norbornane)

‘Bare’ FeO⁺ reacts in the gas phase with norbornane with collision efficiency, and the most prominent cationic products correspond to [FeC₅H₆]⁺ (32%), [FeC₇H₈]⁺ (19%), [FeC₃H₆O]⁺ (19%) and [FeC₆H₆]⁺ (14%), which are structurally characterized by ligand exchange as well as collision-induced dissociation experiments. Circumstantial evidence is provided which indicates that the complexes [FeC₅H₆]⁺, [FeC₇H₈]⁺, and [FeC₆H₆]⁺ originate from an Fe(norbornene)⁺ intermediate which itself is formed by elimination of H₂O from the [FeO(norbornane)]⁺ encounter complex. Although the reactions are preceded and/or accompanied by partial H/D exchange, the isotope distribution in the productions clearly points to a preferential endo-attack of bare FeO⁺, with an endo/exo-ratio of ca. 10.3 and kinetic isotope effects k_H/k_D for the endo-abstraction of 2.4 and of 7.7 for approaching an exo-C? H bond. The preferred endo-approach of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane by ‘bare’ FeO⁺ is in distinct contrast to the P-450-mediated or the iron(III)porphyrin-catalyzed hydroxylation of this substrate which favor reactions at the exo-face.     

Das Kombinierte Näherungsverfahren

Zusammenfassung Anionen der ersten und neutrale Atome der zweiten Familie des Periodensystems wurden nach dem Kombinierten Näherungsverfahren (KN) mit einem Hellmann-Potential behandelt. Die Fehler in der Hartree-Fock-Energie kompensieren sich auf unter 0.1 eV, ebenso genau wird die Intrahüllenkorrelationsenergie erhalten. Auf Grund der gewonnenen Rechenergebnisse sind als wahrscheinlichste Werte der Elektronenaffinitäten der einwertigen Metalle (in eV) anzusehen: Li 0.63, Na 0.54, K 0.52, Rb 0.50, Cu 1.0.

Hellmann's pseudopotential method

Neutral atoms of the second and negative ions of the first family of the periodic system are treated by Hellmann's pseudopotential method (Kombiniertes Näherungsverfahren, KN). The various errors inherent in this method compensate to a large degree so that the errors in the Hartree-Fock and correlation energies will be below 0.1 eV. The electron affinities of the first family atoms are calculated as 0.63 eV for Li, 0.54 for Na, 0.52 for K, 0.50 for Rb, and 1.0 for Cu.

Résumé Des anions du premier groupe et des atoms neutres du deuxième groupe du système périodique sont traités à l'aide de la méthode Kombiniertes Näherungsverfahren (KN) avec une potential de Hellmann. Les erreurs dans l'énergie SCF se compensent au dessous 0,1 eV, de la même exactitude on obtient l'énergie de correlation de la couche de valence. D'aprés les resultats du calcul on peut accepter les valeurs suivantes comme les plus probables pour les affinités électroniques dans les metaux monovalents (en eV): Li 0,63, Na 0,54, K 0,52, Rb 0,50, Cu 1,0.
