Diferrocenyl Thioketone: Reactions with (Bisphosphane)Pt(0) Complexes-Electrochemical and Computational Studies.

ABSTRACT: Diferrocenyl thioketone reacts smoothly with (bisphosphane)Pt(0) complexes in toluene solution at room temperature yielding 1:1 adducts identified as ferrocenyl (Fc) functionalized platinathiiranes. Their structures were unambiguously confirmed by means of spectroscopic methods as well as by X-ray diffraction analysis. A unique, ferrocene-rich platinathiirane, bearing three Fc-units, was prepared starting with [bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] Pt(0(η2-norbornene). For comparison, a similar platinathiirane with one Fc-unit was obtained from the reaction of the latter complex with thiobenzophenone. Quantum-chemical calculations were carried out to describe the bonding pattern and frontier molecular orbitals of the ferrocene-rich platinathiirane complexes. These calculations confirmed that the C=S bond loses its formally double-bond character upon complexation (bisphosphane)Pt(0). Cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed to characterize the obtained platinathiiranes in CH2Cl2 solutions. For comparison, the cyclic voltammogram for diferrocenyl thioketoneas a mixed-valent (FeII-FeIII) compound was also recorded and analyzed. The results point out to a diffusion controlled electrode process in case of differocenyl thioketone and mixed diffusion and adsorption controlled electrode process in the case of the studied platinathiiranes.

Novel Fluorinated Biphenyl Compounds Synthesized via Pd(0)-Catalyzed Reactions: Experimental and Computational Studies.

Project description:Five new difluorinated biphenyl compounds, 4'-(tert-butyl)-3,4-difluoro-1,1'-biphenyl (TBDFBP), 1-(3',4'-difluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethanone (DFBPE), 3',4'-difluoro-2,5-dimethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (DFDMBP), 3,4-difluoro-3'-nitro-1,1'-biphenyl (DFNBP), and (3',4'-difluoro-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)(methyl)sulfane (DFBPMS), have been successfully synthesized by the well-known Suzuki-Miyaura coupling with excellent yields averaging 78%. UV-visible, Fourier transform infrared ,and 13C NMR and 1H NMR spectroscopies along with single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis (for TBDFBP and DFBPE) were used for the structure elucidation of the synthesized compounds. The SC-XRD results demonstrated the crystal systems of the studied compounds, TBDFBP and DFBPE, to be monoclinic, and their space groups were found to be P21/c. Also, a detailed density functional theory study was performed. The calculated structures for TBDFBP and DFBPE were found to agree quite well with the experimental results. The natural bonding orbital charge analysis suggested that molecules of these compounds should interact quite noticeably with each other in the solid phase and with polar solvent molecules. Molecular electrostatic potential analysis suggests that accumulation of positive and negative potential implies possibility of quite significant dipole-dipole intermolecular interactions in crystals of these compounds, as well as quite strong interactions with polar solvent molecules. The global reactivity parameters analysis suggests all compounds to be quite stable in redox reactions, with the compound DFNBP being relatively more reactive and the compounds TBDFBP and DFDMBP being relatively more stable.

Photoelectron spectroscopic and computational studies of the Pt@Pb₁₀⁻¹ and Pt@Pb₁₂¹⁻/²⁻ anions.

Project description:A combination of anion photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations has elucidated the geometric and electronic structure of gas-phase endohedral Pt/Pb cage cluster anions. The anions, Pt@Pb₁₀⁻¹ and Pt@Pb₁₂¹⁻ were prepared from "preassembled" clusters generated from crystalline samples of [K(2,2,2-crypt)]₂[Pt@Pb₁₂] that were brought into the gas phase using a unique infrared desorption/photoemission anion source. The use of crystalline [K(2,2,2-crypt)]₂[Pt@Pb₁₂] also provided access to K[Pt@Pb(n)](-) anions in the gas phase (i.e., the K⁺ salts of the Pt@Pb(n)²⁻ anions). Anion photoelectron spectra of Pt@Pb₁₀⁻¹, Pt@Pb₁₂¹⁻, and K[Pt@Pb₁₂]¹⁻ are presented. Extensive density functional theory calculations on Pt@Pb₁₀³⁻/²⁻/¹⁻/⁰ and Pt@Pb₁₂²⁻/¹⁻ provided candidate structures and anion photoelectron spectra for Pt@Pb₁₀⁻¹ and Pt@Pb₁₂¹⁻. Together, the calculated and measured photoelectron spectra show that Pt@Pb₁₀⁻¹ and Pt@Pb₁₂²⁻/¹⁻ endohedral complexes maintain their respective D(4d) and slightly distorted I(h) symmetries in the gas phase even for the charge states with open shell character. Aside from the fullerenes, the Pt@Pb₁₂²⁻ endohedral complex is the only bare cluster that has been structurally characterized in the solid state, solution, and the gas phase.

Convenient Synthesis of Deuterosilanes by Direct H/D Exchange Mediated by Easily Accessible Pt(0) Complexes.

Project description:Easily accessible, simple phosphino-platinum(0) complexes catalyze (0.1-1 mol % equivalent) the deuteration of silanes in good yields under mild conditions (60 °C, 1 atm). The catalysis is mediated by platinum(II) deuteride/hydride complexes that are in equilibrium with the precursor Pt(0) complexes. The Pt(II) complexes can also be inserted into the Si-H bond of silanes to give intermediate Pt(IV) complexes. The proposed mechanism for catalysis is supported by density functional theory calculations.

Halogenated catechols from cycloaddition reactions of ?-(2-ethoxyvinylketene)iron(0) complexes with 1-haloalkynes.

Project description:1-chloroalkynes and 1-bromohexyne undergo cycloaddition reactions with ethoxyvinylketeneiron(0) complexes to form chloro and bromocatechols. With most substituents, the halogen is incorporated ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl group regioselectively. With chloroethyne, chlorohexyne, and methyl chloropropiolate, the reverse regioselection is observed. Ab initio calculations reveal that the products are, in most cases, nearly isoenergetic, which indicates that the intermediate ketene-alkyne adduct geometry must be important in determining the product distribution.

Synthesis and In Vitro Studies of Photoactivatable Semisquaraine-type Pt(II) Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis, full characterization, photochemical properties, and cytotoxic activity toward cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines of new semisquaraine-type Pt(II) complexes are presented. The synthesis of eight semisquaraine-type ligands has been carried out by means of an innovative, straightforward methodology. A thorough structural NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis of the new ligands and complexes has been done. Density functional theory calculations have allowed to assign the trans configuration of the platinum center. Through the structural modification of the ligands, it has been possible to synthesize some complexes, which have turned out to be photoactive at wavelengths that allow their activation in cell cultures and, importantly, two of them show remarkable solubility in biological media. Photodegradation processes have been studied in depth, including the structural identification of photoproducts, thus justifying the changes observed after irradiation. From biological assessment, complexes C7 and C8 have been demonstrated to behave as promising photoactivatable compounds in the assayed cancer cell lines. Upon photoactivation, both complexes are capable of inducing a higher cytotoxic effect on the tested cells compared with nonphotoactivated compounds. Among the observed results, it is remarkable to note that C7 showed a PI > 50 in HeLa cells, and C8 showed a PI > 40 in A2780 cells, being also effective over cisplatin-resistant A2780cis cells (PI = 7 and PI = 4, respectively). The mechanism of action of these complexes has been studied, revealing that these photoactivated platinum complexes would actually present a combined mode of action, a therapeutically potential advantage.

Electrochemical oxidation of resorcinol: mechanistic insights from experimental and computational studies.

Project description:This work investigates the mechanisms of resorcinol oxidation by density functional theory (DFT) calculation and cyclic voltammetry measurements. Complementary data from experimental and computational studies provide new insights into the reaction mechanisms. At both macro- and micro-electrodes, cyclic voltammetry of resorcinol is chemically and electrochemically irreversible over the whole pH range (1-14). Resorcinol molecules undergo a 1H+ 1e- oxidation at pH < pK a1 and a 1e- oxidation at pH > pK a2 to form radicals. The radicals then readily react to form dimers/polymers deposited on the electrode surface. All of the experimental findings are consistent with the proposed mechanisms, including the apparent transfer coefficient (β) of 0.6 ± 0.1, the slope of the peak potential (E p) against pH of -54 mV pH-1, the peak-shaped responses at micro-electrodes, and the fouling of the electrodes upon the oxidation of resorcinol. DFT calculation of the reaction energy of elementary steps and the eigenvalues of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the radical intermediates confirms that the (1H+) 1e- oxidation is the energetically favorable pathway. In addition to mechanistic insights, an electrochemical sensor is developed for resorcinol detection at microelectrodes in low ionic strength samples with the sensitivity of 123 ± 4 nA μM-1 and the limit of detection (3 sB m-1) of 0.03 μM.

Practical and Computational Studies of Bivalence Metal Complexes of Sulfaclozine and Biological Studies.

Project description:In the search for novel, metal-based drug complexes that may be of value as anticancer agents, five new transition metal complexes of sulfaclozine (SCZ) with Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Fe(II) were successfully synthesized. The chemical structure of each complex was characterized using elemental analysis (CHN), IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. IR spectra indicated that the donor atoms were one sulfonyl oxygen atom and one pyrazine nitrogen atom, which associated with the metal ions to form a stable hexagonal coordination ring. The metal-ligand stability constant (Kf) revealed that Cu(II) and Ni(II) have good coordination stability among the metal compounds. Theoretical studies using DFT/B3LYP were performed to further validate the proposed structures. The obtained results indicated that Cu(II) has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, whereas Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) have an octahedral structure, while Zn(II) has a tetrahedral arrangement. The bio-activities of the characterized complexes were evaluated using DNA binding titration and molecular docking. The binding constant values for the metal complexes were promising, with a maximum value for the copper metal ion complex, which was 9 × 105 M-1. Molecular docking simulations were also carried out to evaluate the interaction strength and properties of the synthesized metal complexes with both DNA and selected cancer-relevant proteins. These results were supported by in vitro cytotoxicity assays showing that the Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes display promising antitumor activity against colon and breast cancer cell lines.

New Blue Donor-Acceptor Pechmann Dyes: Synthesis, Spectroscopic, Electrochemical, and Computational Studies.

Project description:The design, synthesis, and characterization of a new class of blue-colored thiophene-substituted Pechmann dyes are reported. Due to a distinguishing blue coloration and the capability to absorb light in one of the most photon-dense regions of the solar spectrum, such compounds are of great interest for application as photoactive materials in organic optoelectronics, in particular, in dye-sensitized solar cells. To achieve fine tuning of the optical and electrochemical properties, the electron-poor thiophene-bis-lactone moiety has been decorated with donor (D) and acceptor groups (A), targeting fully conjugated D-A-π-A structures. The designed structures have been investigated by means of DFT and time-dependent DFT calculations, and the most promising dyes have been synthesized. These molecules represent the very first preparation of unsymmetrical Pechmann derivatives. Optical and electrochemical properties of the new dyes have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. In two cases, test cells were built proving that a photocurrent can indeed be generated when using electrolytes especially formulated for narrow-band-gap dyes, although with a very low efficiency.

Berberine isolation from <i>Coscinium fenestratum</i>: optical, electrochemical, and computational studies.

Project description:Berberine was extracted from Coscinium fenestratum (tree turmeric) and purified by column chromatography. The UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy of berberine was studied in acetonitrile and aqueous media. TD-DFT calculations employing the B3LYP functional were found to reproduce the general features of the absorption and emission spectra correctly. The electronic transitions to the first and second excited singlet states involve a transfer of electron density from the electron donating methylenedioxy phenyl ring to the electron accepting isoquinolium moiety. An estimate of the electrochemical gap (2.64 V) was obtained from microelectrode voltammetry and good agreement was found with quantum chemical calculations using the cc-pVTZ basis set and the B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP and wB97XD functionals. The calculations indicate spin density of the radical dication is delocalised over the molecule. These basic data are useful for assessment of the synthesis of donor-acceptor polymeric materials employing oxidative polymerization or co-polymerisation of berberine.

Reactions of Nickel(0)-Olefin Pincer Complexes with Terminal Alkynes: Cooperative C-H Bond Activation and Alkyne Coupling.

Project description:Metal-ligand cooperation can facilitate the activation of chemical bonds, opening reaction pathways of interest for catalyst development. In this context, olefins occupying the central position of a diphosphine pincer ligand (PC=CP) are emerging as reversible H atom acceptors, e.g., for H2 activation. Here, we report on the reactivity of nickel complexes of PC=CP ligands with a terminal alkyne, for which two competing pathways are observed. First, cooperative and reversible C-H bond activation generates a Ni(II) alkyl/alkynyl complex as the kinetic product. Second, in the absence of a bulky substituent on the olefin, two alkyne molecules are incorporated in the ligand structure to form a conjugated triene bound to Ni(0). The mechanisms of these processes are studied by density functional theory calculations supported by experimental observations.
