Dinuclear Rare‐Earth Metal Alkyl Complexes Supported by Indolyl Ligands in μ‐η2:η1:η1 Hapticities and their High Catalytic Activity for Isoprene 1,4‐cis‐Polymerization

Two series of new dinuclear rare‐earth metal alkyl complexes supported by indolyl ligands in novel μ‐η²:η¹:η¹ hapticities are synthesized and characterized. Treatment of [RE(CH₂SiMe₃)₃(thf)₂] with 1 equivalent of 3‐(tBuN?CH)C₈H₅NH ( L₁ ) in THF gives the dinuclear rare‐earth metal alkyl complexes trans‐[(μ‐η²:η¹:η¹‐3‐{tBuNCH(CH₂SiMe₃)}Ind)RE(thf)(CH₂SiMe₃)]₂ (Ind=indolyl, RE=Y, Dy, or Yb) in good yields. In the process, the indole unit of L₁ is deprotonated by the metal alkyl species and the imino C?N group is transferred to the amido group by alkyl CH₂SiMe₃ insertion, affording a new dianionic ligand that bridges two metal alkyl units in μ‐η²:η¹:η¹ bonding modes, forming the dinuclear rare‐earth metal alkyl complexes. When L₁ is reduced to 3‐(tBuNHCH₂)C₈H₅NH ( L₂ ), the reaction of [Yb(CH₂SiMe₃)₃(thf)₂] with 1 equivalent of L₂ in THF, interestingly, generated the trans‐[(μ‐η²:η¹:η¹‐3‐{tBuNCH₂}Ind)Yb(thf)(CH₂SiMe₃)]₂ (major) and cis‐[(μ‐η²:η¹:η¹‐3‐{tBuNCH₂}Ind)Yb(thf)(CH₂SiMe₃)]₂ (minor) complexes. The catalytic activities of these dinuclear rare‐earth metal alkyl complexes for isoprene polymerization were investigated; the yttrium and dysprosium complexes exhibited high catalytic activities and high regio‐ and stereoselectivities for isoprene 1,4‐cis‐polymerization.     

Highly active artificial potassium channels having record-high K+/Na+ selectivity of 20.1

Replicating extraordinarily high membrane transport selectivity of protein channels in artificial channel is a challenging task. In this work, we demonstrate that a strategic application of steric code-based social self-sorting offers a novel means to enhance ion transport selectivities of artificial ion channels, alongside with boosted ion transport activities. More specifically, two types of mutually compatible sterically bulky groups (benzo-crown ether and tert-butyl group) were appended onto a monopeptide-based scaffold, which can order the bulky groups onto the same side of a one-dimensionally aligned H-bonded structure. Strong steric repulsions among the same type of bulky groups (either benzo-crown ethers or tert-butyl groups), which are forced into proximity by H-bonds, favor the formation of hetero-oligomeric ensembles that carry an alternative arrangement of sterically compatible benzo-crown ethers and tert-butyl groups, rather than homo-oligomeric ensembles containing a single type of either benzo-crown ethers or tert-butyl groups. Coupled with side chain tuning, this social self-sorting strategy delivers highly active hetero-oligomeric K⁺-selective ion channel (5F12‧BF12)_n, displaying the highest K⁺/Na⁺ selectivity of 20.1 among artificial potassium channels and an excellent EC₅₀ value of 0.50 μmol/L (0.62 mol% relative to lipids) in terms of single channel concentration     

Magnesium Complexes Supported by 6,6’-Dimethylbiphenyl-Bridged Salen Ligands: Synthesis,Characterization and Catalysis for rac-Lactide Polymerization

A series of racemic 6,6’-[(6,6’-dimethyl-[1,1’-biphenyl]-2,2’-diyl)bis(nitrylomethilidyne)]-bis(2-R¹-4-R²-phenol) proligands ( L¹H₂ , R¹=R²=Me; L²H₂ , R¹=^tBu, R²=Me; L³H₂ , R¹=R²=cumyl; L⁴H₂ , R¹=CPh₃, R²=Me) were reacted with {Mg[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂}₂ to provide mononuclear and dinuclear magnesium complexes [ L¹ ₂Mg₂] ( 1 ), L^2–4 Mg ( 2 – 4 ), { L^{1 – 3} [MgN(SiMe₃)₂]₂} ( 5 – 7 ). Complexes 3* and 4* in which each metal center is coordinated with a THF molecule were obtained when the corresponding crude complexes were recrystallized with a mixture of THF and n-hexane. Similarly, the formation of THF coordinated structure 7* of the heteroleptic dinuclear complex 7 was identified. The molecular structures of complexes 3* , 6 and 7* were established by X-ray single crystal diffraction studies, which show that mononuclear complex 3* possesses a five-coordinated metal center adopting a distorted square pyramid configuration, the two metal centers of the dinuclear complex 6 are bridged by two phenoxy oxygen atoms and each has a four-coordinated distorted tetrahedral configuration, and each metal center of the dinuclear complex 7* is still four-coordinated upon the coordination of THF but without bridging to each other. All complexes were investigated for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA) at 60 °C in toluene or tetrahydrofuran. Compared with the mononuclear counterparts, the dinuclear magnesium silylamido complexes showed significantly higher activities.
