Programmable Nuclear-Spin Dynamics in Ti(IV) Coordination Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Interstitial patterning of nuclear spins is a nascent design principle for controlling electron spin superposition lifetimes in open-shell complexes and solid-state defects. Herein we report the first test of the impact of the patterning principle on ligand-based nuclear spin dynamics. We test how substitutional patterning of ¹H and ^79/81Br nuclear spins on ligands modulates proton nuclear spin dynamics in the ligand shell of metal complexes. To do so, we studied the ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation times (T₁ and T₂) of a series of eight polybrominated catechol ligands and six complexes formed by coordination of the ligands to a Ti(IV) ion. These studies reveal that ¹H T₁ values can be enhanced in the individual ligands by a factor of 4 (from 10.8(3) to 43(5) s) as a function of substitution pattern, reaching the maximum value for 3,4,6-tribromocatechol. The T₂ for ¹H is also enhanced by a factor of 4, varying by ∼14 s across the series. When complexed, the impact of the patterning design strategy on nuclear spin dynamics is amplified and ¹H T₁ and T₂ values vary by over an order of magnitude. Importantly, the general trends observed in the ligands also match those when complexed. Hence, these results demonstrate a new design principle to control ¹H spin dynamics in metal complexes through pattern-based design strategies in the ligand shell.

Project description:As part of our research efforts in the area of titanium-based antitumor agents, we have investigated the cytotoxic activity of [Ti(4)(maltolato)(8)(mu-O)(4)], (Cp-R)(2)TiCl(2) and (Cp-R)CpTiCl(2) (R = CO(2)CH(3) and CO(2)CH(2)CH(3)), and three water-soluble titanocene-amino acid complexes-[Cp(2)Ti(aa)(2)]Cl(2) (aa = L: -cysteine, L: -methionine, and D: -penicillamine)-on the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, HT-29. The capacity of [Ti(4)(maltolato)(8)(mu-O)(4)] to donate Ti(IV) to human apo-transferrin and its hydrolytic stability have been investigated and compared to the previously reported data on modified titanocenes with either hydrophilic ancillary ligands or the functionalized cyclopentadienyl ligands. Notably, the titanium-maltolato complex does not transfer Ti(VI) to human apo-transferrin at any time within the first seven days of its interaction, demonstrating the inert character of this species. Stability studies on these complexes have shown that titanocene complexes decompose at physiological pH while the [Ti(4)(maltolato)(8)(mu-O)(4)] complex is stable at this pH without any notable decomposition for a period of ten days. The antitumor activity of these complexes against colon cancer HT-29 cells was determined using an MTT cell viability assay at 72 and 96 h. The titanocene-amino acid and the (Cp-R)(2)TiCl(2)/(Cp-R)CpTiCl(2) (R = CO(2)CH(3)) complexes were not biologically active when human transferrin was absent; they also were inactive when human transferrin was present at dose-equivalent concentrations. (Cp-R)(2)TiCl(2) and (Cp-R)CpTiCl(2) (R = CO(2)CH(2)CH(3)) showed cytotoxic activity in HT-29 cells comparable to that which is displayed by titanocene dichloride. The titanium-maltolato complex had higher levels of cytotoxic activity than any other titanocene complex investigated. Transferrin may be important in protecting the titanium center from hydrolysis, but this may be achieved by selecting ligands that could result in hydrolytically stable, yet active, complexes.
