Cavity-Containing [Fe₂L₃]⁴⁺ Helicates: An Examination of Host-Guest Chemistry and Cytotoxicity.

ABSTRACT: Two new di(2,2'-bipyridine) ligands, 2,6-bis([2,2'-bipyridin]-5-ylethynyl)pyridine (L1) and bis(4-([2,2'-bipyridin]-5-ylethynyl)phenyl)methane (L2) were synthesized and used to generate two metallosupramolecular [Fe₂(L)₃](BF₄)₄ cylinders. The ligands and cylinders were characterized using elemental analysis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, UV-vis, ¹H-, ¹³C and DOSY nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. The molecular structures of the [Fe₂(L)₃](BF₄)₄ cylinders were confirmed using X-ray crystallography. Both the [Fe₂(L1)₃](BF₄)₄ and [Fe₂(L2)₃](BF₄)₄ complexes crystallized as racemic (rac) mixtures of the ΔΔ (P) and ΛΛ (M) helicates. However, ¹H NMR spectra showed that in solution the larger [Fe₂(L2)₃](BF₄)₄ was a mixture of the rac-ΔΔ/ΛΛ and meso-ΔΛ isomers. The host-guest chemistry of the helicates, which both feature a central cavity, was examined with several small drug molecules. However, none of the potential guests were found to bind within the helicates. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that both helicates were active against four cancer cell lines. The smaller [Fe₂(L1)₃](BF₄)₄ system displayed low μM activity against the HCT116 (IC₅₀ = 7.1 ± 0.5 μM) and NCI-H460 (IC₅₀ = 4.9 ± 0.4 μM) cancer cells. While the antiproliferative effects against all the cell lines examined were less than the well-known anticancer drug cisplatin, their modes of action would be expected to be very different.

Oxidation triggers guest dissociation during reorganization of an FeII 4L6 twisted parallelogram.

Project description:A three-dimensional FeII 4L6 parallelogram was prepared from ferrocene-containing ditopic ligands. The steric preference of the bulky ferrocene cores towards meridional vertex coordination brought about this new structure type, in which the ferrocene units adopt three distinct conformations. The structure possesses two distinct, bowl-like cavities that host anionic guests. Oxidation of the ferrocene FeII to ferrocenium FeIII causes rotation of the ferrocene hinges, converting the structure to an FeII 1L1 + species with release of anionic guests, even though the average charge per iron increases in a way that would ordinarily increase guest binding strength. The degrees of freedom exhibited by these new structures - derived from the different configurations of the three ligands surrounding a meridional FeII center and the rotation of ferrocene cores - thus underpin their ability to reconfigure and eject guests upon oxidation.

FeIII 48 -Containing 96-Tungsto-16-Phosphate: Synthesis, Structure, Magnetism and Electrochemistry.

Project description:The 48-FeIII -containing 96-tungsto-16-phosphate, [FeIII 48 (OH)76 (H2 O)16 (HP2 W12 O48 )8 ]36- (Fe48 ), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. This polyanion comprises eight equivalent {FeIII 6 P2 W12 } units that are linked in an end-on fashion forming a macrocyclic assembly that contains more iron centers than any other polyoxometalate (POM) known to date. The novel Fe48 was synthesized by a simple one-pot reaction of an {Fe22 } coordination complex with the hexalacunary {P2 W12 } POM precursor in water. The title polyanion was characterized by single-crystal XRD, FTIR, TGA, magnetic and electrochemical studies.

Coordination Chemistry of P4 S3 and P4 Se3 towards the Iron Fragments [Fe(Cp)(CO)2 ]+ and [Fe(Cp)(PPh3 )(CO)].

Project description:The complexes Ag(L)n [WCA] (L=P4 S3 , P4 Se3 , As4 S3 , and As4 S4 ; [WCA]=[Al(ORF )4 ]- and [F{Al(ORF )3 }2 ]- ; RF =C(CF3 )3 ; WCA=weakly coordinating anion) were tested for their performance as ligand-transfer reagents to transfer the poorly soluble nortricyclane cages P4 S3 , P4 Se3 , and As4 S3 as well as realgar As4 S4 to different transition-metal fragments. As4 S4 and As4 S3 with the poorest solubility did not yield complexes. However, the more soluble silver-coordinated P4 S3 and P4 Se3 cages were transferred to the electron-poor Fp+ moiety ([CpFe(CO)2 ]+ ). Thus, reaction of the silver salt in the presence of the ligand with Fp-Br yielded [Fp-P4 S3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (1?a), [Fp-P4 S3 ][F(Al(ORF )3 )2 ] (1?b), and [Fp-P4 Se3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (2). Reactions with P4 S3 also yielded [FpPPh3 -P4 S3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (3), a complex with the more electron-rich monophosphine-substituted Fp+ analogue [FpPPh3 ]+ ([CpFe(PPh3 )(CO)]+ ). All complex salts were characterized by single-crystal XRD, NMR, Raman, and IR spectroscopy. Interestingly, they show characteristic blueshifts of the vibrational modes of the cage, as well as structural contractions of the cages upon coordination to the Fp/FpPPh3 moieties, which oppose the typically observed cage expansions that lead to redshifts in the spectra. Structure, bonding, and thermodynamics were investigated by DFT calculations, which support the observed cage contractions. Its reason is assigned to ? and ? donation from the slightly P-P and P-E antibonding P4 E3 -cage HOMO (e symmetry) to the metal acceptor fragment.

Subcomponent Exchange Transforms an FeII4L4 Cage from High- to Low-Spin, Switching Guest Release in a Two-Cage System.

Project description:Subcomponent exchange transformed new high-spin FeII4L4 cage 1 into previously-reported low-spin FeII4L4 cage 2: 2-formyl-6-methylpyridine was ejected in favor of the less sterically hindered 2-formylpyridine, with concomitant high- to low-spin transition of the cage's FeII centers. High-spin 1 also reacted more readily with electron-rich anilines than 2, enabling the design of a system consisting of two cages that could release their guests in response to combinations of different stimuli. The addition of p-anisidine to a mixture of high-spin 1 and previously-reported low-spin FeII4L6 cage 3 resulted in the destruction of 1 and the release of its guest. However, initial addition of 2-formylpyridine to an identical mixture of 1 and 3 resulted in the transformation of 1 into 2; added p-anisidine then reacted preferentially with 3 releasing its guest. The addition of 2-formylpyridine thus modulated the system's behavior, fundamentally altering its response to the subsequent signal p-anisidine.

Mechanism of Mixed-Valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ Formation in Fe4S4 Clusters in the Ferredoxin Binding Motif.

Project description:Most low-potential Fe4S4 clusters exist in the conserved binding sequence CxxCxxC (CnCn+3Cn+6). Fe(II) and Fe(III) at the first (Cn) and third (Cn+6) cysteine ligand sites form a mixed-valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ pair in the reduced Fe(II)3Fe(III) cluster. Here, we investigate the mechanism of how the conserved protein environment induces mixed-valence pair formation in the Fe4S4 clusters, FX, FA, and FB in photosystem I, using a quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical approach. Exchange coupling between Fe sites is predominantly determined by the shape of the Fe4S4 cluster, which is stabilized by the preorganized protein electrostatic environment. The backbone NH and CO groups in the conserved CxxCxxC and adjacent helix regions orient along the FeCn···FeC(n+6) axis, generating an electric field and stabilizing the FeCn(II)FeC(n+6)(III) state in FA and FB. The overlap of the d orbitals via -S- (superexchange) is observed for the single FeCn(II)···FeC(n+6)(III) pair, leading to the formation of the mixed-valence Fe2.5+···Fe2.5+ pair. In contrast, several superexchange Fe(II)···Fe(III) pairs are observed in FX due to the highly symmetric pair of the CDGPGRGGTC sequences. This is likely the origin of FX serving as an electron acceptor in the two electron transfer branches.

Selective Anion Binding Drives the Formation of AgI8L6 and AgI12L6 Six-Stranded Helicates.

Project description:Here we describe the formation of an unexpected and unique family of hollow six-stranded helicates. The formation of these structures depends on the coordinative flexibility of silver and the 2-formyl-1,8-napthyridine subcomponent. Crystal structures show that these assemblies are held together by Ag4I, Ag4Br, or Ag6(SO4)2 clusters, where the templating anion plays an integral structure-defining role. Prior to the addition of the anionic template, no six-stranded helicate was observed to form, with the system instead consisting of a dynamic mixture of triple helicate and tetrahedron. Six-stranded helicate formation was highly sensitive to the structure of the ligand, with minor modifications inhibiting its formation. This work provides an unusual example of mutual stabilization between metal clusters and a self-assembled metal-organic cage. The selective preparation of this anisotropic host demonstrates new modes of guiding selective self-assembly using silver(I), whose many stable coordination geometries render design difficult.

Activity Self-Optimization Steered by Dynamically Evolved Fe3+@Fe2+ Double-Center on Fe2O3 Catalyst for NH3-SCR.

Project description:Identification of the active centers dynamically stable under the reaction condition is of paramount importance but challenging because of the limited knowledge of steady-state chemistry on catalysts at the atomic level. Herein, focusing on the Fe2O3 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3 (NH3-SCR) as a model system, we reveal quantitatively the self-evolving Fe3+@Fe2+ (∼1:1) double-centers under the in-situ condition by the first-principles microkinetic simulations, which enables the accurate prediction of the optimal industry operating temperature (590 K). The cooperation of this double-center achieves the self-optimization of catalytic activity and rationalizes the intrinsic origin of Fe2O3 catalyzing NH3-SCR at middle-high temperatures instead of high temperatures. Our findings demonstrate the atomic-level self-evolution of active sites and the dynamically adjusted activity variation of the catalyst under the in-situ condition during the reaction process and provide insights into the reaction mechanism and catalyst optimization.

Templation and Concentration Drive Conversion Between a FeII12L12 Pseudoicosahedron, a FeII4L4 Tetrahedron, and a FeII2L3 Helicate.

Project description:We report the construction of three structurally distinct self-assembled architectures: FeII12L12 pseudoicosahedron 1, FeII2L3 helicate 2, and FeII4L4 tetrahedron 3, formed from a single triazatriangulenium subcomponent A under different reaction conditions. Pseudoicosahedral capsule 1 is the largest formed through subcomponent self-assembly to date, with an outer-sphere diameter of 5.4 nm and a cavity volume of 15 nm3. The outcome of self-assembly depended upon concentration, where the formation of pseudoicosahedron 1 was favored at higher concentrations, while helicate 2 exclusively formed at lower concentrations. The conversion of pseudoicosahedron 1 or helicate 2 into tetrahedron 3 occurred following the addition of a CB11H12- or B12F122- template.

Fe-Fe bonding in the rhombic Fe4 cores of the Zintl clusters [Fe4E18]4- (E = Sn and Pb).

Project description:We report here the synthesis and characterization of two endohedral Zintl-ion clusters, [Fe4Sn18]4- and [Fe4Pb18]4-, which contain rhombic Fe4 cores. The Fe-Fe bond lengths are all below 2.5 Å, distinctly shorter than in the corresponding Cu clusters, indicating the presence of Fe-Fe bonding. Subtle differences in the structure of the Fe4 core between the two clusters suggest that the change in tetrel element causes a change in electronic ground state, with a very short Fe-Fe bond length of 2.328 Å present across the diagonal of the rhombus in the lead case.

Dual-action host-guest chemistry suppresses virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Project description:This study describes the influence of selected synthetic macrocycle on the gene expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. In this work, we propose two distinct functionalities responsible for a dual mechanism of action. We identified a water-soluble pillararene whose inner cavity tightly binds to specific homoserine lactones (HSLs) thereby interfering with interbacterial signalling, leading to effective synchronized suppression of exotoxins and biofilms in P. aeruginosa. An additional concerted mechanism of action is suggested that involves the cationic functional side groups on the pillararene that disrupt both the bacterial outer membrane and biofilms, to increase the penetration and efficacy of intracellular antibiotics.
