Rhenium Corrole Dimers: Electrochemical Insights into the Nature of the Metal-Metal Quadruple Bond.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of free-base triarylcorroles with Re₂(CO)₁₀ in 1,2-dichlorobenzene in the presence of 2,6-lutidine at 180 °C under strict anerobic conditions afforded approximately 10% yields of rhenium corrole dimers. The compounds exhibited diamagnetic ¹H NMR spectra consistent with a metal-metal quadruple bond with a σ²π⁴δ² orbital occupancy. One of the compounds proved amenable to single-crystal X-ray structure determination, yielding a metal-metal distance of ∼2.24 Å, essentially identical to that in triple-bonded osmium corrole dimers. On the other hand, the electrochemical properties of Re and Os corrole dimers proved to be radically different. Thus, the reduction potentials of the Re corrole dimers are some 800 mV upshifted relative to those of their Os counterparts. Stated differently, the Re corrole dimers are dramatically easier to reduce, reflecting electron addition to δ* versus π* molecular orbitals for Re and Os corrole dimers, respectively. The data also imply electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gaps of only 1.0-1.1 V for rhenium corrole dimers, compared with values of 1.85-1.90 V for their Os counterparts. These HOMO-LUMO gaps rank among the first such values reported for quadruple-bonded transition-metal dimers for any type of supporting ligand, porphyrin-type or not.

Nature of Metal-Drug Bond in Some Antitumor Active Complexes of Coinage Metal Ions.

Project description:N-Heterocyclic carbene and phosphine can be labeled as solid σ-donor ligands and can contribute to stable complexes. In addition, the constructed complex can accommodate a wide variety of applications, such as pharmaceutical products. In the light of this, a theoretical analysis was carried out on the existence of metal-drug interactions of group 11 metal ions in coordination with symmetrical unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbenes [NHC(R)(R')] and monodentate phosphine (PR3). The R substitutes on N atoms in NHC and phosphines are identical, and R' substitutes are located on two noncarbenic carbon atoms (C4 and C5) in the heterocycle complexes. All complexes are in general formula, [Tgt → ML] {where M = Cu(I), Ag(I), Au(I), Tgt = 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside, L= [NHC(R)(R')], and PR3; R = F, Cl, Br, H, CH3, C2H5, SiH3, 2,6-diisopropylphenyl; R' = H and Ph} at the PBE-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory. Findings show greater tolerance for the release of drugs in the presence of Ag(I) metal ions than the other metal ions studied here. Applying natural bond orbital (NBO), atoms in molecules (AIMs), energy decomposition analysis (EDA), and extended transition-state natural orbital for chemical valence (ETS-NOCV) analysis have been researched in order to ascertain the nature of M ← S and M ← C (M ← P) bonds in the complexes. Results have shown that σ donation from S to M atoms in [Tgt → MPR3] complexes is better and the π acceptor is weaker than the corresponding [Tgt → MNHC(R)(R')] complexes.

Noble Gas-Silicon Cations: Theoretical Insights into the Nature of the Bond.

Project description:The structure, stability, and bonding situation of some exemplary noble gas-silicon cations were investigated at the MP2/aVTZ level of theory. The explored species include the mono-coordinated NgSiX3+ (Ng = He-Rn; X = H, F, Cl) and NgSiF22+ (Ng = He-Rn), the di-coordinated Ar2SiX3+ (X = H, F, Cl), and the "inserted" FNgSiF2+ (Ng = Kr, Xe, Rn). The bonding analysis was accomplished by the method that we recently proposed to assay the bonding situation of noblegas compounds. The Ng-Si bonds are generally tight and feature a partial contribution of covalency. In the NgSiX3+, the degree of the Ng-Si interaction mirrors the trends of two factors, namely the polarizability of Ng that increases when going from Ng = He to Ng = Rn, and the Lewis acidity of SiX3+ that decreases in the order SiF3+ > SiH3+ > SiCl3+. For the HeSiX3+, it was also possible to catch peculiar effects referable to the small size of He. When going from the NgSiF3+ to the NgSiF22+, the increased charge on Si promotes an appreciable increase inthe Ng-Si interaction, which becomes truly covalent for the heaviest Ng. The strength of the bond also increases when going from the NgSiF3+ to the "inserted" FNgSiF2+, likely due to the cooperative effect of the adjacent F atom. On the other hand, the ligation of a second Ar atom to ArSiX3+ (X = H, F, Cl), as to form Ar2(SiX3+), produces a weakening of the bond. Our obtained data were compared with previous findings already available in the literature.

Nature of the Hydrogen Bond Enhanced Halogen Bond.

Project description:The factors responsible for the enhancement of the halogen bond by an adjacent hydrogen bond have been quantitatively explored by means of state-of-the-art computational methods. It is found that the strength of a halogen bond is enhanced by ca. 3 kcal/mol when the halogen donor simultaneously operates as a halogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor. This enhancement is the result of both stronger electrostatic and orbital interactions between the XB donor and the XB acceptor, which indicates a significant degree of covalency in these halogen bonds. In addition, the halogen bond strength can be easily tuned by modifying the electron density of the aryl group of the XB donor as well as the acidity of the hydrogen atoms responsible for the hydrogen bond.

Nature of intermolecular interaction in squaraine dimers.

Project description:Squaraine dyes are known for their particular optical properties. They exhibit intense photochemically stable fluorescence in usually (near) infra red region that can be quenched by intermolecular interactions. Moreover, even the centrosymmetric dyes feature non-zero second harmonic generation upon aggregation. Therefore, the detailed knowledge of the squaraine dye interaction nature both in homogenic aggregates and with other species present in the environment can be of importance for the design of new materials of desired properties. In the present study, interaction in squaraine dimers is investigated with quantum chemistry tools. Four structures: two stacked and two hydrogen-bonded are analyzed in terms of supermolecular approach and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory. MP2C/aug-cc-pVTZ supermolecular calculations confirm the particular stability of the stacked dimers and the favoured dispersion attraction for the long-displaced system.

Computational insights into the formation and nature of the sulfilimine bond in collagen-IV.

Project description:Collagen IV is essential component of basement membrane in the tissues. It provides proper cellular structure by the formation of sulfilimine bond (S[double bond, length as m-dash]N) between methionine and lysine or hydroxylysine (cross-links) residues which can be formed with or without post-translational modification. The sulfilimine bond has critical roles in tissue development and human diseases. Peroxidasin, a basement membrane peroxidase, generates reactive halogen species including hypobromous (HOBr) acid and hypochlorous (HOCl) acid which help to form halosulfonium or haloamine. The sulfilamine bond can be formed either by the formation of halosulfonium or by the formation of halomine. The aim of the study is the investigation of the formation of sulfilimine bond and its nature in collagen IV using multi-scale approach that included MD, QM-cluster, systematic series of small models, and NBO analysis. These results suggest that sulfilimine bond can be formed either via brominated/chlorinated halosulfonium or haloamine pathway. The results of systematic series of small model indicate that the formation of sulfilimine complex from halosulfonium happens through the formation of positively charged halosulfonated sulfilimine complex. It also suggests that the formation of sulfilimine complex from haloamine occurs through the formation of positively charged sulfilimine complex where the S and N bond forms and halogen goes off at the same time. Furthermore, the NBO analysis suggest the S and N bond is strongly polarized toward nitrogen in both single protonated and neutral system, N δ- ← S δ+ and also indicate the existence of a coordinate covalent (i.e. dative) bond.

Hourglass Dirac chain metal in rhenium dioxide.

Project description:Nonsymmorphic symmetries, which involve fractional lattice translations, can generate exotic types of fermionic excitations in crystalline materials. Here we propose a topological phase arising from nonsymmorphic symmetries-the hourglass Dirac chain metal, and predict its realization in the rhenium dioxide. We show that ReO2 features hourglass-type dispersion in the bulk electronic structure dictated by its nonsymmorphic space group. Due to time reversal and inversion symmetries, each band has an additional two-fold degeneracy, making the neck crossing-point of the hourglass four-fold degenerate. Remarkably, close to the Fermi level, the neck crossing-point traces out a Dirac chain-a chain of connected four-fold-degenerate Dirac loops-in the momentum space. The symmetry protection, the transformation under symmetry-breaking, and the associated topological surface states of the Dirac chain are revealed. Our results open the door to an unknown class of topological matters, and provide a platform to explore their intriguing physics.

Uranium(iv) terminal hydrosulfido and sulfido complexes: insights into the nature of the uranium-sulfur bond.

Project description:Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of terminal uranium(iv) hydrosulfido and sulfido complexes, supported by the hexadentate, tacn-based ligand framework (Ad,MeArO)3tacn3- (= trianion of 1,4,7-tris(3-(1-adamantyl)-5-methyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane). The hydrosulfido complex [((Ad,MeArO)3tacn)U-SH] (2) is obtained from the reaction of H2S with the uranium(iii) starting material [((Ad,MeArO)3tacn)U] (1) in THF. Subsequent deprotonation with potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide yields the mononuclear uranium(iv) sulfido species in good yields. With the aid of dibenzo-18-crown-6 and 2.2.2-cryptand, it was possible to isolate a terminal sulfido species, capped by the potassium counter ion, and a "free" terminal sulfido species with a well separated cation/anion pair. Spectroscopic and computational analyses provided insights into the nature of the uranium-sulfur bond in these complexes.

Lessons from nature: unraveling biological CH bond activation.

Project description:The cleavage of unactivated CH bonds is one of the most challenging reactions in chemical biology. Metalloenzymes have evolved that efficiently perform these transformations with exquisite control of selectivity; however, a proposed requirement is the generation of highly reactive intermediates that could be lethal. A thermodynamic argument involving the putative reactive species is outlined, whereby the interplay between two tunable parameters, redox potential and pK(a), may be the key to sustainable function. In addition, factors that control these parameters are also described, including hydrogen-bonding networks found within protein active sites. Synthetic examples are used to corroborate these ideas.

Thermal Analysis of Benzotriazolium Perrhenate and Its Implication to Rhenium Metal.

Project description:The thermal analysis behavior of C6H6N3[ReO4] was studied by simultaneous thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) up to 700 °C under argon. Such analysis afforded rhenium metal, which was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. XRD peak broadening due to crystallite size and lattice strain was analyzed by both Williamson-Hall (W-H) and Debye-Scherrer (D-S) methods. Efforts to isolate Re metal from the thermal treatment of benzotriazole (BTA = C6H5N3) with NH4ReO4 and Re2O7 under various atmospheres and temperatures are also reported. The results provide a significant insight into the chemistry of group VII transition metals, investigate the potential use of benzotriazole as a reducing agent for metal productions, and demonstrate a successful convenient method for rhenium metal production, which could be applied to other refractory metals.

PEGylated rhenium nanoclusters: a degradable metal photothermal nanoagent for cancer therapy.

Project description:A common issue of functional nanoagents for potential clinical translation is whether they are biodegradable or renal clearable. Previous studies have widely explored noble metal nanoparticles (Au and Pd) as the first generation of photothermal nanoagents for cancer therapy, but all of the reported noble metal nanoparticles are non-degradable. On the other hand, rhenium (Re), one of the noble and precious metals with a high atomic number (Z = 75), has been mainly utilized as a jet superalloy or chemical catalyst, but the biological characteristics and activity of Re nanoparticles have never been evaluated until now. To address these issues, here we report a simple and scalable liquid-reduction strategy to synthesize PEGylated Re nanoclusters, which exhibit intrinsically high photothermal conversion efficacy (33.0%) and high X-ray attenuation (21.2 HU mL mg-1), resulting in excellent photothermal ablation (100% tumor elimination) and higher CT enhancement (15.9 HU mL mg-1 for commercial iopromide in clinics). Impressively, biocompatible Re nanoclusters can degrade into renal clearable ReO4 - ions after exposure to H2O2, and thus achieve much higher renal clearance efficiency than conventional gold nanoparticles. This work reveals the potential of theranostic application of metallic Re nanoclusters with both biodegradation and renal clearance properties and provides insights into the design of degradable metallic platforms with high clinical prospects.
