Chiral Recognition in π Complexes of Alkenes,Aldehydes, and Ketones with Transition Metal Lewis Acids; Development of a General Model for Enantioface Binding Selectivities

Prochiral alkenes, aldehydes, and ketones constitute the most frequently used starting materials for enantioselective organic syntheses. Protocols often involve chiral binding agents or Lewis acids that can give two diastereomeric adducts, the ratios of which are measures of chiral recognition. With π adducts, the diastereomers differ in the enantioface of the C?C or O?C group bound to the Lewis acid. This review provides the first comprehensive analysis of such equilibria and related binding phenomena with chiral transition metal Lewis acids. An extensive body of data from the authors' laboratory for complexes of the pyramidal rhenium fragment [(η⁵?C₅H₅)Re(No)(PPh₃)]⁺ ( I ) affords particular insight. Literature data for other complexes are also summarized. A general model for chiral recognition based upon the relative steric properties of four quadrants is presented. This enables binding selectivities to be individually and rationally optimized for different classes of ligands. Electronic effects are also identified and correlated with specific structural properties. Relationships between binding equilibria, reactivity, and product configurations are discussed.     

Kinetics of formation of a linear polymer-polymer network system in the presence of 3d metal chelates

For semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) based on an incompatible polyurethane network/linear polymethylmethacrylate pair formed in situ in the presence of 3d metal chelates, we have studied the effect of the system composition on the kinetics of formation of the components and the nature of complex formation between the metal compound and the polymer matrix. The ratio of the system components has been shown to have an effect on the selection of the macroligand in formation of complexes of the metal chelate with the polar groups of the semi-IPN, where the general character of the kinetic behavior for the formation of the network and the linear polymer is preserved. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 351–356, November–December, 2006.     

Ungewöhnliche Bildung und Struktur eines O‐Sulfinato‐Zinkkomplexes

Unusual Formation and Structure of a O‐Sulfinato Zinc Complex Whereas the reaction between hydrotris[(N‐xylyl)‐thioimidazolyl]borato‐zinc perchlorate ([ L· Zn‐OClO₃]) and ethanethiolate under an inert atmosphere leads to the thiolate complex [ L· Zn‐SC₂H₅], the same reaction in air produces the sulfinato complex [ L· Zn‐O‐S(O)‐C₂H₅] ( 1 ). 1 is the first fully characterized sulfinato‐zinc complex. Its structure determination has confirmed the unusual coordination of the sulfinato ligand via one of its oxygen atoms.     

Co(III)氮芥配合物的合成、表征及其抗肿瘤活性的初步评价

低氧条件下,钴(Ⅲ)的氮芥配合物具有合适的还原电位,就可能还原得到比较活泼的Ｃｏ(Ⅱ)配合物,在溶液中其活性配体很快被体内的小分子取代,释放出的活性配体可以杀死低氧区内外的癌细胞,因此筛选合适的钴配合物作为低氧选择性抗癌药物的研究很有意义。本文以双 (2 氯乙基)胺(简称ＢＣＡ)为活性配体,取代乙酰丙酮为辅助配体,合成一系列Ｃｏ(Ⅲ)配合物(下图)。初步评估结果表明,其中两个配合物具有一定的低氧选择性,配合物的还原电位对药物的低氧选择性影响很大,合适的还原范围可能比较窄。1　实验部分1.1　试剂与仪器按文献[1]的方法合成…

The two symmetrical isomers in [Co(amp)₂Cl₂]₂[ZnCl₄](amp=2-(Aminomethyl)pyridine) system were syn-thesized by general oxidation method and were separated by chromatography and recrystallization method. Their configurations were assigned by using 2D NMR techniques, particularly the NOESY NMR spectra. Solvent used was Me₂SO-d₆ with the central peak of the CD₃ septet as the reference ( ₁₃C,δ 39.37; ₁H,δ 2.49 relative to SiMe₄). Cation exchange media used was Dowex 50Wx 2(H⁺ form, 200～400mesh; Biorad).

Polynuclear Complexes with Fe? As, Fe? Sb, and Fe? Bi Frameworks The anionic iron clusters Fe₃(CO)₁₁^2? and Fe₄(CO)₁₃^2? were reacted with compounds EX₃ and with organic derivatives REX₂ and R₂EX of the elements arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. Commonly redox and cluster degradation reactions were observed. The new complexes [(CO)₄Fe? AsMe₂?

Fe complex was identified by a structure determination, the other complexes were identified by their spectra.     

Synthesis of Molecular Wires of Linear and Branched Bis(terpyridine)‐Complex Oligomers and Electrochemical Observation of Through‐Bond Redox Conduction

Films of linear and branched oligomer wires of Fe(tpy)₂ (tpy=2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine) were constructed on a gold‐electrode surface by the interfacial stepwise coordination method, in which a surface‐anchoring ligand, (tpy? C₆H₄N?NC₆H₄? S)₂ ( 1 ), two bridging ligands, 1,4‐(tpy)₂C₆H₄ ( 3 ) and 1,3,5‐(C?C? tpy)₃C₆H₃ ( 4 ), and metal ions were used. The quantitative complexation of the ligands and Fe^II ions was monitored by electrochemical measurements in up to eight complexation cycles for linear oligomers of 3 and in up to four cycles for branched oligomers of 4 . STM observation of branched oligomers at low surface coverage showed an even distribution of nanodots of uniform size and shape, which suggests the quantitative formation of dendritic structures. The electron‐transport mechanism and kinetics for the redox reaction of the films of linear and branched oligomer wires were analyzed by potential‐step chronoamperometry (PSCA). The unique current‐versus‐time behavior observed under all conditions indicates that electron conduction occurs not by diffusional motion but by successive electron hopping between neighboring redox sites within a molecular wire. Redox conduction in a single molecular wire in a redox‐polymer film has not been reported previously. The analysis provided the rate constant for electron transfer between the electrode and the nearest redox‐complex moiety, k₁ (s^?1), as well as that for intrawire electron transfer between neighboring redox‐complex moieties, k₂ (cm² mol^?1 s^?1). The strong effect of the electrolyte concentration on both k₁ and k₂ indicates that the counterion motion limits the electron‐hopping rate at lower electrolyte concentrations. Analysis of the dependence of k₁ and k₂ on the potential gave intrinsic kinetic parameters without overpotential effects: k₁⁰=110 s^?1, k₂⁰=2.6×10¹² cm² mol^?1 s^?1 for [n Fe 3 ], and k₁⁰=100 s^?1, k₂⁰=4.1×10¹¹ cm² mol^?1 s^?1 for [n Fe 4 ] (n=number of complexation cycles).     

Synthesis and crystal structures of heterobimetallic Fe-Cd,Fe-Zn,and Fe-In complexes containing hemilabile phosphorus/oxygen and silicon/oxygen bridging ligands

The reactions of K[Fe{Si(OMe)₃}(CO)₃(PY)][PY=Ph₂PCH₂C(O)Ph, Ph₂PCH₂C(O)[(-C₅H₄)FeCp] (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅), Ph₂P(CH₂)₂CN] with CdCl₂·2.5H₂O, ZnX ₂ (X=Cl, I) or InCl₃ afforded Fe-Cd-Fe or Fe-M(-X)₂ M-Fe (M=Cd, Zn, In;X=Cl, I) and Fe-InCl₂ complexes. Some of them contain an unusual and labile -²-SiO alkoxysilyl bridge which may be associated with a bridging mode for the ketophosphine ligand (first such example structurally established), thus providing original results in bimetallic chemistry on the intramolecular coordination of oxygendonor functions ofchemically different hemilabile ligands firmly attached to a neighboring metal center. The structures of the trinuclear complex (3), of the chlorobenzene solvate of the tetranuclear complex (4a·C₆H₅Cl) and of [mer-(OC)₃{(EtO)₃Si} (4e) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystals of 3 are orthorhombic, space groupPbcn, witha=19.010(4),b=11.766(5),c=26.998(7)Å, andZ=4. Crystals of4a·C₆H₅Cl are monoclinic, space groupC2/c witha=22.455(3),b=17.680(2),c=16.627(4)Å, =90.80(4)°, andZ=4. Crystals of4e are monoclinic, space groupC2/c witha=25.392(5),b=18.554(6),c=16.28(1)Å, =120.73(3)°, andZ=4. The structures were solved using direct methods and Fourier difference techniques and refined by blocked full-matrix least squares toR=0.035 (R _w =0.049) for 2719 observed reflections, toR=0.042 (R _w =0.056) for 3082 observed reflections, and toR=0.057 (R _w =0.075) for 1850 observed reflections for3, 4a·C₆H₅Cl and4e, respectively. The Fe-Zn complexes (9a), (9b) and (9c) were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods.Part 21 in the Series: Complexes with Functional Phosphines. Part 20: P. Braunstein, S. Coco Cea, A.
