Environmentally Friendly, Photochemical Access to [ N∧C∧N ]Au^III Pincer Complexes By Oxidative Addition.

ABSTRACT: Starting from commercially available DMSAuCl and diazonium salts, cationic [ N∧C∧N ]Au^III complexes were synthesized in a selective, photosensitizer-free, photochemical reaction by irradiation with blue LED light. This new protocol represents the first easy synthesis of these types of pincer complexes in moderate to excellent yield starting from a readily available gold(I) precursor with nitrogen as the only by-product. Owing to the disadvantages of known protocols, especially the toxicity in the case of a transmetalation with mercury or the necessity for a mostly twofold excess of a gold precursor, this method offers an attractive alternative towards this kind of gold(III) complexes. In addition, the first arylated [ N∧C∧N ]Au(III) pincer complex was synthesized by using this technology.

Liquid Crystals Comprising π-Electronic Ions from Porphyrin-Au<sup>III</sup> Complexes.

Project description:Porphyrin-AuIII complexes were found to act as π-electronic cations, which can combine with various counteranions, including π-electronic anions. Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed the formation of assemblies with contributions of charge-by-charge and charge-segregated assemblies, depending on the geometry and electronic state of the counteranions. Porphyrin-AuIII complexes possessing aliphatic alkyl chains formed dimension-controlled ion-pairing assemblies as thermotropic liquid crystals, whose ionic components were highly organized by π-π stacking and electrostatic interactions.

Environmentally friendly Pd(II) recovery from spent automotive catalysts using resins impregnated with a pincer-type extractant.

Project description:Extractant-impregnated resins have potential for recovering platinum group metals selectively and efficiently. Herein, 1,3-bis(2-(octylthio)propan-2-yl)benzene (1), a pincer-type extractant, was impregnated in Amberlite XAD-7 resin (1-EIR), and the batch Pd(II) sorption conditions, including impregnated amount, shaking time, Pd(II) concentration, HCl concentration, and Pd(II) desorption reagents, were optimized. The maximum Pd(II) sorption capacity of 1-EIR was 49 mg g-1 after 24 h in a 700 ppm Pd(II) solution. Over 20 adsorption-desorption cycles, 1-EIR showed good reusability, with a sorption percentage (S%) of > 92%. However, not all Pd(II) was desorbed from 1-EIR. Complete Pd(II) collection was achieved by combining desorption with flaking of the Pd-extractant complex from Pd(II)-loaded 1-EIR by Soxhlet extraction, as ~ 13 mg g-1 remained after the 20th adsorption-desorption cycle by absorptiometric method. The sorption mechanism was elucidated based on the Langmuir isotherm model, thermodynamic parameters, and sorption kinetics. Pd(II) sorption by 1-EIR was spontaneous and endothermic, and the sorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. Notably, 1-EIR also exhibited high selectivity for Pd(II) from a simulated mixed metal solution and a spent automotive catalyst leachate (S% = 98% and > 99%, respectively). Thus, this extractant-impregnated system is promising for selective Pd(II) recovery from spent automotive catalysts and other secondary resources.

Synthesis, Photochemical, and Redox Properties of Gold(I) and Gold(III) Pincer Complexes Incorporating a 2,2':6',2"-Terpyridine Ligand Framework.

Project description:Reaction of [Au(C6F5)(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) with 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine (terpy) leads to complex [Au(C6F5)(?(1)-terpy)] (1). The chemical oxidation of complex (1) with 2 equiv of [N(C6H4Br-4)3](PF6) or using electrosynthetic techniques affords the Au(III) complex [Au(C6F5)(?(3)-terpy)](PF6)2 (2). The X-ray diffraction study of complex 2 reveals that the terpyridine acts as tridentate chelate ligand, which leads to a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. Complex 1 displays fluorescence in the solid state at 77 K due to a metal (gold) to ligand (terpy) charge transfer transition, whereas complex 2 displays fluorescence in acetonitrile due to excimer or exciplex formation. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations match the experimental absorption spectra of the synthesized complexes. In order to further probe the frontier orbitals of both complexes and study their redox behavior, each compound was separately characterized using cyclic voltammetry. The bulk electrolysis of a solution of complex 1 was analyzed by spectroscopic methods confirming the electrochemical synthesis of complex 2.

Cyclometalated Au<sup>III</sup> Complexes for Cysteine Arylation in Zinc Finger Protein Domains: towards Controlled Reductive Elimination.

Project description:With the aim of exploiting the use of organometallic species for the efficient modification of proteins through C-atom transfer, the gold-mediated cysteine arylation through a reductive elimination process occurring from the reaction of cyclometalated AuIII C^N complexes with a zinc finger peptide (Cys2 His2 type) is here reported. Among the four selected AuIII cyclometalated compounds, the [Au(CCO N)Cl2 ] complex featuring the 2-benzoylpyridine (CCO N) scaffold was identified as the most prone to reductive elimination and Cys arylation in buffered aqueous solution (pH 7.4) at 37 °C by high-resolution LC electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. DFT and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) studies permitted to propose a mechanism for the title reaction that is in line with the experimental results. Overall, the results provide new insights into the reactivity of cytotoxic organogold compounds with biologically important zinc finger domains and identify initial structure-activity relationships to enable AuIII -catalyzed reductive elimination in aqueous media.

Synthesis and luminescence modulation of pyrazine-based gold(III) pincer complexes.

Project description:The first examples of pyrazine-based gold(III) pincer complexes are reported; their intense photoemissions can be modified by protonation, N-alkylation or metal ions, without the need for altering the ligand framework. Emissions shift from red (77 K) to blue (298 K) due to thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

Au(III) complexes with tetradentate-cyclam-based ligands.

Project description:Chiral cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) derivatives were synthesized stepwise from chiral mono-Boc-1,2-diamines and (dialkyl)malonyl dichloride via open diamide-bis(N-Boc-amino) intermediates (65-91%). Deprotection and ring closure with a second malonyl unit afforded the cyclam tetraamide precursors (80-95%). The new protocol allowed the preparation of the target cyclam derivatives (53-59%) by a final optimized hydride reduction. Both the open tetraamine intermediates and the cyclam derivatives successfully coordinated with AuCl3 to give moderate to excellent yields (50-96%) of the corresponding novel tetra-coordinated N,N,N,N-Au(III) complexes with alternating five- and six-membered chelate rings. The testing of the catalytic ability of the cyclam-based N,N,N,N-Au(III) complexes demonstrated high catalytic activity of some complexes in selected test reactions (full conversion in 1-24 h, 62-97% product yields).

Oxidative Addition of Water to Ir(I) Complexes Bearing a Pincer-Type Silyl Ligand.

Project description:Reaction of water with in situ generated [(PSiP-R)IrI] (PSiP-R = [{2-(R2P)C6H4}2MeSi]-; R = cyclohexyl, tBu or iPr) from [(PSiP-R)Ir(H)4] and tert-butylethylene (tbe) showed high ligand dependency. Oxidative addition of water cleanly proceeded in the reaction of [(PSiP-tBu)IrI] in THF at room temperature to selectively afford a 16-electron hydrido-hydroxo complex [(PSiP- t Bu)Ir(H)(OH)] almost quantitatively. In contrast, the reaction of cyclohexyl and iPr derivatives was unselective and formed various products containing Ir-H bonds. In the case of iPr-derivative, a small amount of 18-electron hydrido-hydroxo aqua complex [(PSiP-iPr)Ir(H)(OH)(H2O)] was isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Biological pincer complexes.

Project description:At least two types of pincer complexes are known to exist in biology. A metal-pyrroloquinolone quinone (PQQ) cofactor was first identified in bacterial methanol dehydrogenase, and later also found in selected short-chain alcohol dehydrogenases of other microorganisms. The PQQ-associated metal can be calcium, magnesium, or a rare earth element depending on the enzyme sequence. Synthesis of this organic ligand requires a series of accessory proteins acting on a small peptide, PqqA. Binding of metal to PQQ yields an ONO-type pincer complex. More recently, a nickel-pincer nucleotide (NPN) cofactor was discovered in lactate racemase, LarA. This cofactor derives from nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide via action of a carboxylase/hydrolase, sulfur transferase, and nickel insertase, resulting in an SCS-type pincer complex. The NPN cofactor likely occurs in selected other racemases and epimerases of bacteria, archaea, and a few eukaryotes.

Rational development of catalytic Au(I)/Au(III) arylation involving mild oxidative addition of aryl halides.

Project description:The reluctance of gold to achieve oxidative addition reaction is considered as an intrinsic limitation for the development of gold-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with simple and ubiquitous aryl halide electrophiles. Here, we report the rational construction of a Au(I)/Au(III) catalytic cycle involving a sequence of Csp2-X oxidative addition, Csp2-H auration and reductive elimination, allowing a gold-catalyzed direct arylation of arenes with aryl halides. Key to this discovery is the use of Me-Dalphos, a simple ancillary (P,N) ligand, that allows the bottleneck oxidative addition of aryl iodides and bromides to readily proceed under mild conditions. The hemilabile character of the amino group plays a crucial role in this transformation, as substantiated by density functional theory calculations.Catalysis involving Au(I)/Au(III) cycles are notoriously hampered by the reluctance of Au(I) towards oxidative addition. Here, the authors show that an hemilabile bidentate ligand promotes oxidative addition of aryl halides to Au(I) and the catalytic formation of biaryl coupling products.
