Taming Super-Reduced Bi₂^3- Radicals with Rare Earth Cations.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the synthesis of two new sets of dibismuth-bridged rare earth molecules. The first series contains a bridging diamagnetic Bi₂^2- anion, (Cp*₂RE)₂(μ-η²:η²-Bi₂), 1-RE (where Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; RE = Gd (1-Gd), Tb (1-Tb), Dy (1-Dy), Y (1-Y)), while the second series comprises the first Bi₂^3- radical-containing complexes for any d- or f-block metal ions, [K(crypt-222)][(Cp*₂RE)₂(μ-η²:η²-Bi₂^•)]·2THF (2-RE, RE = Gd (2-Gd), Tb (2-Tb), Dy (2-Dy), Y (2-Y); crypt-222 = 2.2.2-cryptand), which were obtained from one-electron reduction of 1-RE with KC₈. The Bi₂^3- radical-bridged terbium and dysprosium congeners, 2-Tb and 2-Dy, are single-molecule magnets with magnetic hysteresis. We investigate the nature of the unprecedented lanthanide-bismuth and bismuth-bismuth bonding and their roles in magnetic communication between paramagnetic metal centers, through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible/near-infrared (UV-vis/NIR) spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry, DFT and multiconfigurational ab initio calculations. We find a π_z^* ground SOMO for Bi₂^3-, which has isotropic spin-spin exchange coupling with neighboring metal ions of ca. -20 cm^-1; however, the exchange coupling is strongly augmented by orbitally dependent terms in the anisotropic cases of 2-Tb and 2-Dy. As the first examples of p-block radicals beneath the second row bridging any metal ions, these studies have important ramifications for single-molecule magnetism, main group element, rare earth metal, and coordination chemistry at large.

Project description:Radioisotopes of metallic elements, or radiometals, are widely employed in both therapeutic and diagnostic nuclear medicine. For this application, chelators that efficiently bind the radiometal of interest and form a stable metal-ligand complex with it are required. Toward the development of new chelators for nuclear medicine, we recently reported a novel class of 18-membered macrocyclic chelators that is characterized by their ability to form stable complexes with both large and small rare-earth metals (Ln3+), a property referred to as dual size selectivity. A specific chelator in this class called py-macrodipa, which contains one pyridyl group within its macrocyclic core, was established as a promising candidate for 135La3+, 213Bi3+, and 44Sc3+ chelation. Building upon this prior work, here we report the synthesis and characterization of a new chelator called py2-macrodipa with two pyridyl units fused into the macrocyclic backbone. Its coordination chemistry with the Ln3+ series was investigated by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, analytical titrations, and transchelation assays. These studies reveal that py2-macrodipa retains the expected dual size selectivity and possesses an enhanced thermodynamic affinity for all Ln3+ compared to py-macrodipa. By contrast, the kinetic stability of Ln3+ complexes with py2-macrodipa is only improved for the light, large Ln3+ ions. Based upon these observations, we further assessed the suitability of py2-macrodipa for use with 225Ac3+, a large radiometal with valuable properties for targeted α therapy. Radiolabeling and stability studies revealed py2-macrodipa to efficiently incorporate 225Ac3+ and to form a complex that is inert in human serum over 3 weeks. Although py2-macrodipa does not surpass the state-of-the-art chelator macropa for 225Ac3+ chelation, it does provide another effective 225Ac3+ chelator. These studies shed light on the fundamental coordination chemistry of the Ln3+ series and may inspire future chelator design efforts.
