Substituted aromatic pentaphosphole ligands – a journey across the p-block† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. CCDC 2083554–2083563 and 2101248. For ESI and crystallographic data in CIF or other electronic format see DOI: 10.1039/d1sc04296c

ABSTRACT: The functionalization of pentaphosphaferrocene [Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] (1) with cationic group 13–17 electrophiles is shown to be a general synthetic strategy towards P–E bond formation of unprecedented diversity. The products of these reactions are dinuclear [{Cp*Fe}2{μ,η5:5-(P5)2EX2}][TEF] (EX2 = BBr2 (2), GaI2 (3), [TEF]− = [Al{OC(CF3)3}4]−) or mononuclear [Cp*Fe(η5-P5E)][X] (E = CH2Ph (4), CHPh2 (5), SiHPh2 (6), AsCy2 (7), SePh (9), TeMes (10), Cl (11), Br (12), I (13)) complexes of hetero-bis-pentaphosphole ((cyclo-P5)2R) or hetero-pentaphosphole ligands (cyclo-P5R), the aromatic all-phosphorus analogs of prototypical cyclopentadienes. Further, modifying the steric and electronic properties of the electrophile has a drastic impact on its reactivity and leads to the formation of [Cp*Fe(μ,η5:2-P5)SbICp′′′][TEF] (8) which possesses a triple-decker-like structure. X-ray crystallographic characterization reveals the slightly twisted conformation of the cyclo-P5R ligands in these compounds and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy confirms their integrity in solution. DFT calculations shed light on the bonding situation of these compounds and confirm the aromatic character of the pentaphosphole ligands on a journey across the p-block. The reactivity of cationic electrophiles towards pentaphosphaferrocene [Cp*Fe(ƞ5-P5)] is explored. We report P–E bond formation for electrophiles across the p-block, producing coordination complexes with unprecedented hetero-bispentaphosphole and hetero-pentaphosphole ligands.

Cation-pi bonding and amino-aromatic interactions in the biomolecular recognition of substituted ammonium ligands.

Project description:Cation-pi bonds and amino-aromatic interactions are known to be important contributors to protein architecture and stability, and their role in ligand-protein interactions has also been reported. Many biologically active amines contain substituted ammonium moieties, and cation-pi bonding and amino-aromatic interactions often enable these molecules to associate with proteins. The role of organic cation-pi bonding and amino-aromatic interactions in the recognition of small-molecule amines and peptides by proteins is an important topic for those involved in structure-based drug design, and although the number of structures determined for proteins displaying these interactions is small, general features are beginning to emerge. This review explores the role of cation-pi bonding and amino-aromatic interactions in the biological molecular recognition of amine ligands. Perspectives on the design of ammonium-ligand-binding sites are also discussed.

Integrin ligands block mechanical signal transduction in baroreceptors

Project description:The binding of integrins to specific sequences in extracellular matrix forms the mechanical coupling to transfer stretch applied on the vascular wall to the baroreceptors. Baroreceptors are nerve endings located in the adventitia of the carotid sinus and aortic arch. They act as a mechanoelectrical transducer that can sense the tension stimulation exerted on the blood vessel wall by the rise in blood pressure and transduce the mechanical force into discharge of the nerve endings. However, the molecular identity of mechanical signal transduction from the vessel wall to the baroreceptor is not clear. We discovered that exogenous integrin ligands, such as RGD, IKVAV, YIGSR, PHSRN, and KNEED, could restrain pressure-dependent discharge of the aortic nerve in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. Perfusion of RGD at the baroreceptor site in vivo can block the baroreceptor reflex. An immunohistochemistry study showed the binding of exogenous RGD to the nerve endings under the adventitia of the rat aortic arch, which may competitively block the binding of integrins to ligand motifs in extracellular matrix. These findings suggest that connection of integrins with extracellular matrix plays an important role in the mechanical coupling process between vessel walls and arterial baroreceptors.

All-metal aromatic cationic palladium triangles can mimic aromatic donor ligands with Lewis acidic cations.

Project description:We present that cationic rings can act as donor ligands thanks to suitably delocalized metal-metal bonds. This could grant parent complexes with the peculiar properties of aromatic rings that are crafted with main group elements. We assembled Pd nuclei into equilateral mono-cationic triangles with unhindered faces. Like their main group element counterparts and despite their positive charge, these noble-metal rings form stable bonding interactions with other cations, such as positively charged silver atoms, to deliver the corresponding tetranuclear dicationic complexes. Through a mix of modeling and experimental techniques we propose that this bonding mode is an original coordination-like one rather than a 4-centre-2-electron bond, which have already been observed in three dimensional aromatics. The present results thus pave the way for the use of suitable metal rings as ligands.

Asymmetrically Substituted Phospholes as Ligands for Coinage Metal Complexes.

Project description:A series of coinage metal complexes asymmetrically substituted 2,5-diaryl phosphole ligands is reported. Structure, identity, and purity of all obtained complexes were corroborated with state-of-the-art techniques (multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction) in solution and solid state. All complexes obtained feature luminescence in solution as well as in the solid state. Additionally, DOSY-MW NMR estimation experiments were performed to achieve information about the aggregation behavior of the complexes in solution allowing a direct comparison with their structures observed in the solid state.

How Aromatic Compounds Block DNA Binding of HcaR Catabolite Regulator.

Project description:Bacterial catabolism of aromatic compounds from various sources including phenylpropanoids and flavonoids that are abundant in soil plays an important role in the recycling of carbon in the ecosystem. We have determined the crystal structures of apo-HcaR from Acinetobacter sp. ADP1, a MarR/SlyA transcription factor, in complexes with hydroxycinnamates and a specific DNA operator. The protein regulates the expression of the hca catabolic operon in Acinetobacter and related bacterial strains, allowing utilization of hydroxycinnamates as sole sources of carbon. HcaR binds multiple ligands, and as a result the transcription of genes encoding several catabolic enzymes is increased. The 1.9-2.4 Å resolution structures presented here explain how HcaR recognizes four ligands (ferulate, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, p-coumarate, and vanillin) using the same binding site. The ligand promiscuity appears to be an adaptation to match a broad specificity of hydroxycinnamate catabolic enzymes while responding to toxic thioester intermediates. Structures of apo-HcaR and in complex with a specific DNA hca operator when combined with binding studies of hydroxycinnamates show how aromatic ligands render HcaR unproductive in recognizing a specific DNA target. The current study contributes to a better understanding of the hca catabolic operon regulation mechanism by the transcription factor HcaR.

Synthesis and Characterization of N-Substituted Polyether-Block-Amide Copolymers.

Project description:A series of N-substituted polyether-block-amide (PEBA-X%) copolymers were prepared by melt polycondensation of nylon-6 prepolymer and polytetramethylene ether glycol at an elevated temperature using titanium isopropoxide as a catalyst. The structure, thermal properties, and crystallinity of PEBA-X% were investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. In general, the crystallinity, melting point, and thermal degradation temperature of PEBA-X% decreased as the incorporation of N-methyl functionalized groups increased, owing to the disruption caused to the structural regularity of the copolymer. However, in N-acetyl functionalized analogues, the crystallinity first dropped and then increased because of a new γ form arrangement that developed in the microstructure. After the cross-linking reaction of the N-methyl-substituted derivative, which has electron-donating characteristics, with poly(4,4'-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate), the decomposition temperature of the resulting polymer significantly increased, whereas no such improvements could be observed in the case of the electro-withdrawing N-acetyl-substituted derivative, because of the incompleteness of its cross-linking reaction.

π-Hole Interactions Involving Nitro Aromatic Ligands in Protein Structures.

Project description:Studying noncanonical intermolecular interactions between a ligand and a protein constitutes an emerging research field. Identifying synthetically accessible molecular fragments that can engage in intermolecular interactions is a key objective in this area. Here, it is shown that so-called "π-hole interactions" are present between the nitro moiety in nitro aromatic ligands and lone pairs within protein structures (water and protein carbonyls and sulfurs). Ample structural evidence was found in a PDB analysis and computations reveal interaction energies of about -5 kcal mol-1 for ligand-protein π-hole interactions. Several examples are highlighted for which a π-hole interaction is implicated in the superior binding affinity or inhibition of a nitro aromatic ligand versus a similar non-nitro analogue. The discovery that π-hole interactions with nitro aromatics are significant within protein structures parallels the finding that halogen bonds are biologically relevant. This has implications for the interpretation of ligand-protein complexation phenomena, for example, involving the more than 50 approved drugs that contain a nitro aromatic moiety.

Magnetic Diversity in Heteroisocorroles: Aromatic Pathways in 10-Heteroatom-Substituted Isocorroles.

Project description:A recent study on magnetically induced currents in 10-isocorrole derivatives indicated that both the free-base and metal-complexed forms of the unsubstituted macrocycle are homoaromatic. Furthermore, depending on the substituents at the 10-position, the aromatic character was found to swing between substantially homoaromatic to substantially antihomoaromatic. Heteroisocorroles, in which the saturated 10-position has been replaced by a heteroatom-containing group X, are predicted to exhibit even more dramatic variations in aromatic character, ranging from strongly aromatic (X = O, NH, PH, and S) to strongly antiaromatic (X = BH and CO). Interestingly, the experimentally studied X = SiMe2 case does not appear to sustain a significant global ring current.

Electron-Deficient Imidazolium Substituted Cp Ligands and their Ru Complexes.

Project description:The synthesis of electron-poor mono-, di- and tri(imidazolium)-substituted Cp-ylides is presented and their electronic properties are discussed based on NMR spectroscopy, X-ray structure analyses, electrochemical investigations and DFT calculations as well as by their reactivity toward [Ru(CH3 CN)3 Cp*](PF6 ). With mono- and di(imidazolium)-substituted cyclopentadienides the respective monocationic and dicationic ruthenocences are formed (X-ray), whereas tri(imidazolium) cyclopentadienides are too electron-poor to form the ruthenocenes. Cyclic voltammetric analysis of the ruthenocenes shows reversible oxidation at a potential that increases with every additional electron-withdrawing imidazolium substituent at the Cp ligand by 0.53-0.55 V in an electrolyte based on a weakly coordinating anion. A reversible oxidation can be observed for the free 1,3-disubstituted ligand as well.

Bacterial TLR2/6 Ligands Block Ciliogenesis, Derepress Hedgehog Signaling, and Expand the Neocortex

Project description:Microbial components have a range of direct effects on the fetal brain. However, little is known about the cellular targets and molecular mechanisms that mediate these effects. Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) control the size and architecture of the brain and understanding the mechanisms regulating NPCs is crucial to understanding brain developmental disorders. We identify ventricular radial glia (vRG), the primary NPC, as the target of bacterial cell wall (BCW) generated during the antibiotic treatment of maternal pneumonia. BCW enhanced proliferative potential of vRGs by shortening the cell cycle and increasing self-renewal. Expanded vRGs propagated to increase neuronal output in all cortical layers. Remarkably, Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), which recognizes BCW, localized at the base of primary cilia in vRGs and the BCW-TLR2 interaction suppressed ciliogenesis leading to derepression of Hedgehog (HH) signaling and expansion of vRGs. We also show that TLR6 is an essential partner of TLR2 in this process. Surprisingly, TLR6 alone was required to set the number of cortical neurons under healthy conditions. These findings suggest that an endogenous signal from TLRs suppresses cortical expansion during normal development of the neocortex and that BCW antagonizes that signal through the TLR2/cilia/HH signaling axis changing brain structure and function.
