Triazole-based osmium(ii) complexes displaying red/near-IR luminescence: antimicrobial activity and super-resolution imaging.

ABSTRACT: Cellular uptake, luminescence imaging and antimicrobial activity against clinically relevant methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bacteria are reported. The osmium(ii) complexes [Os(N^N)₃]²⁺ (N^N = 1-benzyl-4-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,3-triazole (1 ²⁺); 1-benzyl-4-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,3-triazole (2 ²⁺); 1-benzyl-4-(pyrazin-2-yl)-1,2,3-triazole (3 ²⁺)) were prepared and isolated as the chloride salts of their meridional and facial isomers. The complexes display prominent spin-forbidden ground state to triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (³MLCT) state absorption bands enabling excitation as low as 600 nm for fac/mer-3 ²⁺ and observation of emission in aqueous solution in the deep-red/near-IR regions of the spectrum. Cellular uptake studies within MRSA cells show antimicrobial activity for 1 ²⁺ and 2 ²⁺ with greater toxicity for the meridional isomers in each case and mer-1 ²⁺ showing the greatest potency (32 μg mL^-1 in defined minimal media). Super-resolution imaging experiments demonstrate binding of mer- and fac-1 ²⁺ to bacterial DNA with high Pearson's colocalisation coefficients (up to 0.95 using DAPI). Phototoxicity studies showed the complexes exhibited a higher antimicrobial activity upon irradiation with light.

Near-IR to Near-IR Upconversion Luminescence in Molecular Chromium Ytterbium Salts.

Project description:Upconversion photoluminescence in hetero-oligonuclear metal complex architectures featuring organic ligands is an interesting but still rarely observed phenomenon, despite its great potential from a basic research and application perspective. In this context, a new photonic material consisting of molecular chromium(III) and ytterbium(III) complex ions was developed that exhibits excitation-power density-dependent cooperative sensitization of the chromium-centered 2 E/2 T1 phosphorescence at approximately 775?nm after excitation of the ytterbium band 2 F7/2 ?2 F5/2 at approximately 980?nm in the solid state at ambient temperature. The upconversion process is insensitive to atmospheric oxygen and can be observed in the presence of water molecules in the crystal lattice.

Towards Water Soluble Mitochondria-Targeting Theranostic Osmium(II) Triazole-Based Complexes.

Project description:The complex [Os(btzpy)₂][PF₆]₂ (1, btzpy = 2,6-bis(1-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine) has been prepared and characterised. Complex 1 exhibits phosphorescence (λem = 595 nm, τ = 937 ns, φem = 9.3% in degassed acetonitrile) in contrast to its known ruthenium(II) analogue, which is non-emissive at room temperature. The complex undergoes significant oxygen-dependent quenching of emission with a 43-fold reduction in luminescence intensity between degassed and aerated acetonitrile solutions, indicating its potential to act as a singlet oxygen sensitiser. Complex 1 underwent counterion metathesis to yield [Os(btzpy)₂]Cl₂ (1Cl), which shows near identical optical absorption and emission spectra to those of 1. Direct measurement of the yield of singlet oxygen sensitised by 1Cl was carried out (φ (¹O₂) = 57%) for air equilibrated acetonitrile solutions. On the basis of these photophysical properties, preliminary cellular uptake and luminescence microscopy imaging studies were conducted. Complex 1Cl readily entered the cancer cell lines HeLa and U2OS with mitochondrial staining seen and intense emission allowing for imaging at concentrations as low as 1 μM. Long-term toxicity results indicate low toxicity in HeLa cells with LD50 >100 μM. Osmium(II) complexes based on 1 therefore present an excellent platform for the development of novel theranostic agents for anticancer activity.

Highly near-IR emissive ytterbium(iii) complexes with unprecedented quantum yields.

Project description:The design of highly near-infrared (NIR) emissive lanthanide (Ln) complexes is challenging, owing to the lack of molecular systems with a high sensitization efficiency and the difficulty of achieving a large intrinsic quantum yield. Previous studies have reported success in optimizing individual factors and achieving high overall quantum yields, with the best yield being 12% for Yb(iii). Herein we report a series of highly NIR emissive Yb complexes, in which the Yb is sandwiched between an octafluorinated porphyrinate antenna ligand and a deuterated Kläui ligand, which allowed optimization of two factors in the same system, and one of the complexes had an unprecedented quantum yield of 63% (estimated uncertainty 15%) in CD2Cl2 with a long lifetime (?obs) of 714 ?s. Systematic analysis of the structure-photophysical properties relationship suggested that porphyrinates are effective antenna ligands with a sensitization efficiency up to ca. 100% and that replacement of the high-energy C-H oscillators in porphyrinate and Kläui ligands significantly improves the intrinsic quantum yield up to 75% (?obs/?rad), both of which contribute to enhancing the NIR emission intensity of Yb(iii) up to 25-fold. Besides the high luminescence efficiency, these Yb complexes have other attractive features such as excitation in the visible range and large extinction coefficients which make these Yb(iii) complexes outstanding optical materials in the NIR region.

Series of Near-IR-Absorbing Transition Metal Complexes with Redox Active Ligands.

Project description:New soluble and intensely near-IR-absorbing transition metal (Ti, Zr, V, Ni) complexes were synthesized using a redox non-innocent N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tertbutyl-2-hydroxy-phenyl) -1,2-phenylenediamine (H4L) as a ligand precursor. In all the complexes, ([Ti(Lox)2, [Zr(Lox)2], [V(Lsq1)(HLox)] and [Ni(HLox)2], two organic molecules coordinate to the metal center as tri- or tetradentate ligands. The solid-state structures of the complexes were determined using single crystal XRD, and the compounds were further characterized with Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). Thermoanalytical measurements indicated the thermal stabilities of the complexes. All compounds absorb strongly in the near-IR region and show very interesting magnetic and electrochemical properties. Moreover, it was shown that the V and Ni complexes can also convert absorbed near-IR photons to (un)paired electrons, which indicates great promise in photovoltaic applications.

Exciton coupling in diketopyrrolopyrrole-helicene derivatives leads to red and near-infrared circularly polarized luminescence.

Project description:Molecular and macromolecular chiral ?-conjugated diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-helicene derivatives were prepared and their chiroptical properties examined experimentally and theoretically. Exciton coupling leads to red and near-infrared circularly polarized absorption and luminescence arising from the achiral DPP units in the helical environment, highlighting an interesting synergy between the chiral helicene and the organic dye.

Near-IR absorbing donor-acceptor ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer complexes of nickel(ii).

Project description:A new series of square-planar nickel(ii) donor-acceptor complexes exhibiting ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (LL'CT) transitions have been prepared. Whereas the use of a catecholate donor ligand in conjunction with a bipyridyl acceptor ligand affords a complex that absorbs throughout the visible region, the use of a azanidophenolate donor ligands in conjunction with a bipyridyl acceptor ligand affords complexes that absorbs well into the near-IR region of the solar spectrum. Three new complexes, (cat)Ni(bpy t Bu2) (1; (cat)2- = 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-catecholate; bpy t Bu2 = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine), (ap)Ni(bpy t Bu2) (2; (ap)2- = 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenylazanido)phenolate), and (apPh)Ni(bpy t Bu2) (3; (apPh)2- = 10-(2,6-diisopropylphenylazanido)-9-phenanthrolate), have been prepared and characterized by structural, electrochemical, and spectroscopic methods. Whereas all three square-planar complexes show multiple reversible one-electron redox-processes and strong LL'CT absorption bands, in azanidophenolate complexes 2 and 3, the LL'CT absorption covers the near-IR region from 700-1200 nm. The electronic absorption spectra and ground state electrochemical data for 2 and 3 provide an estimate of their excited-state reduction potentials, E+/*, of -1.3 V vs. SCE, making them as potent as the singlet excited state of [Ru(bpy)3]2+.

Synthesis and Near Infrared Luminescence Properties of a Series of Lanthanide Complexes with POSS Modified Ligands.

Project description:A polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) modified 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative (denoted as Q-POSS) was synthesized and used as a ligand to coordinate with lanthanide ions to obtain a series of lanthanide complexes Ln(Q-POSS)₃ (Ln = Er3+, Yb3+, Nd3+). The as-prepared lanthanide complexes have been characterized by FT-IR, UV⁻Vis, and elemental analysis. All these complexes showed the characteristic near-infrared (NIR) luminescence originated from the corresponding lanthanide ions under excitation. Compared with the unmodified counterparts LnQ₃ (HQ = 8-hydroxyquinoline), the Ln(Q-POSS)₃ complexes showed obviously increased emission intensity, which was ascribed mainly to the steric-hindrance effects of the POSS moiety in the ligands. It is believed that the POSS group could suppress undesired excimer formation and intermolecular aggregation, thus decreasing the concentration quenching effect of the corresponding lanthanide complexes.

In-Cell Activation of Organo-Osmium(II) Anticancer Complexes.

Project description:The family of iodido OsII arene phenylazopyridine complexes [Os(η6 -p-cym)(5-R1 -pyridylazo-4-R2 -phenyl))I]+ (where p-cym=para-cymene) exhibit potent sub-micromolar antiproliferative activity towards human cancer cells and are active in vivo. Their chemical behavior is distinct from that of cisplatin: they do not readily hydrolyze, nor bind to DNA bases. We report here a mechanism by which they are activated in cancer cells, involving release of the I- ligand in the presence of glutathione (GSH). The X-ray crystal structures of two active complexes are reported, 1-I (R1 =OEt, R2 =H) and 2-I (R1 =H, R2 =NMe2 ). They were labelled with the radionuclide 131 I (β- /γ emitter, t1/2 8.02 d), and their activity in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was studied. 1-[131 I] and 2-[131 I] exhibit good stability in both phosphate-buffered saline and blood serum. In contrast, once taken up by MCF-7 cells, the iodide ligand is rapidly pumped out. Intriguingly, GSH catalyzes their hydrolysis. The resulting hydroxido complexes can form thiolato and sulfenato adducts with GSH, and react with H2 O2 generating hydroxyl radicals. These findings shed new light on the mechanism of action of these organo-osmium complexes.

Bright Blue, Green, and Red Luminescence from Dye-Sensitized Core@Shell Upconversion Nanophosphors under 800 nm Near-Infrared Light.

Project description:In this study, Li-based blue- and green-emitting core@shell (C@S) upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) and NaGdF4-based red-emitting C@S UCNPs were synthesized, and IR-808 dyes were conjugated with the C@S UCNPs to enhance upconversion (UC) luminescence. The surface of the as-synthesized C@S UCNPs, which was originally capped with oleic acid, was modified with BF4- to conjugate the IR-808 dye having a carboxyl functional group to the surface of the UCNPs. After the conjugation with IR-808 dyes, absorbance of the UCNPs was significantly increased. As a result, dye-sensitized blue (B)-, green (G)-, and red (R)-emitting UCNPs exhibited 87-fold, 10.8-fold, and 110-fold enhanced UC luminescence compared with B-, G-, and R-emitting Nd3+-doped C@S UCNPs under 800 nm near-infrared (NIR) light excitation, respectively. Consequently, dye-sensitized UCNPs exhibiting strong UC luminescence under 800 nm NIR light excitation have high applicability in a variety of biological applications.
