Project description:Ten new compounds of Co, Ni and Cu with glycinamide (HL = glycinamide): [Co(H2O)2(HL)2]Cl2 (1a), [Co(H2O)2(HL)2]Br1.06Cl0.94 (1b), [Co(H2O)2(HL)2]I2 (1c), [Ni(H2O)2(HL)2]Cl2 (2a), [Ni(H2O)2(HL)2]Br0.94Cl1.06 (2b), [Ni(H2O)2(HL)2]I2 (low and room temperature polymorph, 2cLT and 2cRT), [CuCl2(HL)2] (3a), [CuBr1.3Cl0.7(HL)2] (3b) and {[Cu(HL)2]2[Cu2I6]} n (3c), as well as glycinamide hydroiodide (H2LI) and a new polymorph of glycinamide hydrochloride (β-H2LCl) were prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis (TG/DTA) and ESR spectroscopy. 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b are isostructural, as well as 1c and 2cRT, while the Cu compounds (3a-c) have entirely different molecular structures. All investigated compounds are mononuclear with exception of the 1D coordination polymer 3c. Compound 3c contains copper ions in the mixed oxidation state Cu(i) and Cu(ii) with interesting magnetic properties. Paramagnetic behaviour was found in 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b. Temperature induced polymorphic transformation was observed in 2c. Compounds 1a and 3a showed moderate antiproliferative activity and selectivity toward the human breast tumor cell line MCF-7.

Project description:Benzene was hydroxylated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper complexes in acetone to yield phenol at 298 K. At higher temperature, phenol was further hydroxylated with H2O2 by catalysis of copper complexes to yield p-benzoquinone. The kinetic study revealed that the rate was proportional to concentrations of benzene and H2O2, but to the square root of concentration of a copper(II) complex ([Cu(tmpa)]2+: tmpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine). The addition of a spin trapping reagent resulted in formation of a spin adduct of hydroperoxyl radical (HO2•), as observed by EPR spectroscopy, inhibiting phenol formation. HO2• produced by the reaction of [Cu(tmpa)]2+ with H2O2 acts as a chain carrier for the radical chain reactions for formation of phenol. When [Cu(tmpa)]2+ was incorporated into mesoporous silica-alumina (Al-MCM-41) by a cation exchange reaction, the selectivity to production of phenol was much enhanced by prevention of hydroxylation of phenol, which was not adsorbed to Al-MCM-41. The high durability with turnover number of 4320 for the hydroxylation of benzene to phenol with H2O2 was achieved using [Cu(tmpa)]2+ incorporated into Al-MCM-41 as an efficient and selective catalyst.

Project description:The reactions of CuX2 (X = Cl, Br) with dipinodiazafluorenes yielded four new complexes [CuX2L1]2 (X = Cl (1), Br (2), L1 = (1R,3R,8R,10R)-2,2,9,9-Tetramethyl-3,4,7,8,9,10-hexahydro-1H-1,3:8,10-dimethanocyclopenta [1,2-b:5,4-b']diquinolin-12(2H)-one) and [(CuX2)2L2]n (X = Cl (3), Br (4), L2 = (1R,3R,8R,10R,1'R,3'R,8'R,10'R)-2,2,2',2',9,9,9',9'-Octamethyl-1,1',2,2',3,3',4,4',7,7',8,8',9,9',10,10'-hexadecahydro-1,3:1',3':8,10:8',10'-tetramethano-12,12'-bi(cyclopenta [1,2-b:5,4-b']diquinolinylidene). The complexes were characterized by IR and EPR spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of compounds 1, 2 and 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Complexes 1-2 have a monomeric structure, while complex 4 has a polymeric structure due to additional coordinating N,N sites in L2. All complexes contain a binuclear fragment {Cu2(μ-X)2×2} (X = Cl, Br) in their structures. Each copper atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment formed by two nitrogen atoms and three halogen atoms. The Cu-Nax distance is elongated compared to Cu-Neq. The EPR spectra of compounds 1-4 in CH3CN confirm their paramagnetic nature due to the d9 electronic configuration of the copper(II) ion. The magnetic properties of all compounds were studied by the method of static magnetic susceptibility. For complexes 1 and 2, the effective magnetic moments are µeff ≈ 1.87 and 1.83 µB (per each Cu2+ ion), respectively, in the temperature range 50-300 K, which are close to the theoretical spin value (1.73 µB). Ferromagnetic exchange interactions between Cu(II) ions inside {Cu2(μ-X)2X2} (X = Cl, Br) dimers (J/kB ≈ 25 and 31 K for 1 and 2, respectively) or between dimers (θ' ≈ 0.30 and 0.47 K for 1 and 2, respectively) were found at low temperatures. For compounds 3 and 4, the magnetic susceptibility is well described by the Curie-Weiss law in the temperature range 1.77-300 K with µeff ≈ 1.72 and 1.70 µB for 3 and 4, respectively, and weak antiferromagnetic interactions (θ ≈ -0.4 K for 3 and -0.65 K for 4). Complexes 1-4 exhibit high catalytic activity in the oxidation of alkanes and alcohols with peroxides. The maximum yield of cyclohexane oxidation products reached 50% (complex 3). Based on the data on the study of regio- and bond-selectivity, it was concluded that hydroxyl radicals play a decisive role in the oxidation reaction. The initial products in reactions with alkanes are alkyl hydroperoxides.

Project description:A copper-catalysed hydroxylation of diaryliodoniums to generate phenols and diaryl ethers is reported. This method allows the synthesis of diversely functionalized phenols under mild reaction conditions without the need for a strong inorganic base or an expensive noble-metal catalyst. Significantly, convenient application of diaryliodoniums is demonstrated in the preparation of diaryl ethers in a one-pot operation.

Project description:The unique electronic and steric parameters of chiral cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands render them appealing steering ligands for enantioselective transition-metal catalyzed transformations. Due to the lack of efficient synthetic strategies to access particularly attractive α-chiral CAACs assessment and exploitation of their full synthetic potential remain difficult. Herein, we report a streamlined strategy to assemble a library of diastereo- and enantiomerically pure CAAC ligands featuring the notoriously difficult to access α-quaternary stereogenic centers. A tailored Julia-Kocienski olefination reagent allows the Claisen-rearrangement to be leveraged as an expedient route to form the synthetically pivotal racemic α-chiral methallyl aldehydes. Subsequent condensation with chiral amines and further cyclization provided a library of diastereomeric mixtures of the targeted ligand precursors. The CAAC salts as well as their corresponding metal complexes are conveniently separable by standard silica gel flash chromatography closing a long-standing accessibility gap in chiral CAAC ligands with proximal α-chirality. The rapid availability of both diastereomers enables testing of the relevance and synergistic effects of two chiral centers on the ligand in catalytic applications. A broad range of metal complexes with copper, gold, rhodium and ruthenium were obtained and structurally analyzed. The catalytic performances of the corresponding chiral CAAC copper and ruthenium complexes were assessed in enantioselective conjugate borylations and asymmetric ring closing metathesis, displaying selectivities of up 95 : 5 er.

Project description:Synthetic biology applications call for efficient methods to generate large gene cassettes that encode complex gene circuits in order to avoid simultaneous delivery of multiple plasmids encoding individual genes. Multiple methods have been proposed to achieve this goal. Here, we describe a novel protocol that allows one-step cloning of up to four gene-size DNA fragments, followed by a second assembly of these concatenated sequences into large circular DNA. The protocols described here comprise a simple, cheap and fast solution for routine construction of cassettes with up to 10 gene-size components.

Project description:The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity of low-spin {CoNO}8 pincer complexes of the type [Co(PCP)(NO)(H)] are described. These compounds are obtained either by reacting [Co(PCP)(κ2-BH4)] with NO and Et3N or, alternatively, by reacting [Co(PCP)(NO)]+ with boranes, such as NH3·BH3 in solution. The five-coordinate, diamagnetic Co(III) complex [Co(PCPNMe-iPr)(NO)(H)] was found to be the active species in the hydroboration of alkenes with anti-Markovnikov selectivity. A range of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were efficiently converted with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild conditions in good to excellent yield. Mechanistic insight into the catalytic reaction is provided by means of isotope labeling, NMR spectroscopy, and APCI/ESI-MS as well as DFT calculations.

Project description:Herein, overall improvement in the electrochemical performance of manganese dioxide is achieved through fine-tuning the microstructure of partially Co-doped manganese dioxide nanomaterial using facile hydrothermal method with precise control of preparative parameters. The structural investigation exhibits formation of a multiphase compound accompanied by controlled reflections of α-MnO2 as well as γ-MnO2 crystalline phases. The morphological examination manifests the presence of MnO2 nanowires having a width of 70-80 nm and a length of several microns. The Co-doped manganese dioxide electrode displayed a particular capacitive behavior along with a rising order of capacitance concerning with increased cobalt ion concentration suitable for certain limits. The value of specific capacitance achieved by a 5% Co-doped manganese dioxide sample was 1050 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1, which was nearly threefold greater than that achieved by a bare manganese dioxide electrode. Furthermore, Co-doped manganese dioxide nanocomposite electrode exhibits exceptional capacitance retention (92.7%) till 10,000 cycles. It shows the good cyclability as well as stability of the material. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the solid-state supercapacitor with good energy and power density.

Project description:A series of copper complexes (3-6) stabilized by 1,2,3-triazole-tethered N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been prepared via simple reaction of imidazolium salts with copper powder in good yields. The structures of bi- and trinuclear copper complexes were fully characterized by NMR, elemental analysis (EA), and X-ray crystallography. In particular, [Cu2(L2)2](PF6)2 (3) and [Cu2(L3)2](PF6)2 (4) were dinuclear copper complexes. Complexes [Cu3(L4)2](PF6)3 (5) and [Cu3(L5)2](PF6)3 (6) consist of a triangular Cu3 core. These structures vary depending on the imidazolium backbone and N substituents. The copper-NHC complexes tested are highly active for the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction in an air atmosphere at room temperature in a CH3CN solution. Complex 4 is the most efficient catalyst among these polynuclear complexes in an air atmosphere at room temperature.

Project description:Two new copper(ii) complexes [Cu2(L)2(OAc)2(H2O)2] (1) (L = 3-methyl-5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazole) and [CuL2] (2) were prerared and thoroughly studied. The complexes are able to selectively catalyze the oxidation of styrene towards benzaldehyde and of cyclohexane to KA oil. The 2D coordination polymer 1 showed an antiferromagnetic behaviour attributed to the intrachain magnetic coupling.
