Ruthenium complexes of sterically-hindered pentaarylcyclopentadienyl ligands.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis of ruthenium complexes incorporating an overcrowded pentaarylcyclopentadienyl ligand has been investigated, and higher efficiency has been reached using chlorine-functionalised precursors when compared with their brominated counterparts. A new methodology for the preparation of chlorocyclopentadienes has been developed which is well adapted for highly sterically hindered compounds and works with either electron rich or poor systems.

Luminescent properties of ruthenium(II) complexes with sterically expansive ligands bound to DNA defects.

Project description:A new family of ruthenium(II) complexes with sterically expansive ligands for targeting DNA defects was prepared, and their luminescent responses to base pair mismatches and/or abasic sites were investigated. Design of the complexes sought to combine the mismatch specificity of sterically expansive metalloinsertors, such as [Rh(bpy)2(chrysi)](3+) (chrysi = chrysene-5,6-quinone diimine), and the light switch behavior of [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)](2+) (dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine). In one approach, complexes bearing analogues of chrysi incorporating hydrogen-bonding functionality similar to dppz were synthesized. While the complexes show luminescence only at low temperatures (77 K), competition experiments with [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)](2+) at ambient temperatures reveal that the chrysi derivatives preferentially bind DNA mismatches. In another approach, various substituents were introduced onto the dppz ligand to increase its steric bulk for mismatch binding while maintaining planarity. Steady state luminescence and luminescence lifetime measurements reveal that these dppz derivative complexes behave as DNA "light switches" but that the selectivity in binding and luminescence with mismatched/abasic versus well-matched DNA is not high. In all cases, luminescence depends sensitively upon structural perturbations to the dppz ligand.

Platinum Complexes from C-H Activation of Sterically Hindered [C^N] Donor Benzothiophene Imine Ligands: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties.

Project description:Primary amines and benzothiophene-3-carboxaldehyde were reacted to give four large, bulky imine ligands. These imine ligands were reacted with a tetramethyl platinum dimer and by heteroatom-assisted C-H activation, both monometalated compounds and bismetalated compounds were synthesized. In all cases, five-membered platinacycles were formed. The compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and one bismetalated compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The UV-vis absorption and emission spectra and the excited-state lifetimes were recorded for these complexes. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent-DFT calculations were performed to aid in the assignment of the absorption and emission spectra of the newly synthesized complexes.

Synthesis and Dynamic Behavior of Ce(IV) Double-Decker Complexes of Sterically Hindered Phthalocyanines.

Project description:Phthalocyanines and their double-decker complexes are interesting in designing rotative molecular machines, which are crucial for the development of molecular motors and gears. This study explores the design and synthesis of three bulky phthalocyanine ligands functionalized at the α-positions with phenothiazine or carbazole fragments, aiming to investigate dynamic rotational motions in these sterically hindered molecular complexes. Homoleptic and heteroleptic double-decker complexes were synthesized through the complexation of these ligands with Ce(IV). Notably, CeIV(Pc2)2 and CeIV(Pc3)2, both homoleptic complexes, exhibited blocked rotational motions even at high temperatures. The heteroleptic CeIV(Pc)(Pc3) complex, designed to lower symmetry, demonstrated switchable rotation along the pseudo-C4 symmetry axis upon heating the solution. Variable-temperature 1H-NMR studies revealed distinct dynamic behaviors in these complexes. This study provides insights into the rotational dynamics of sterically hindered double-decker complexes, paving the way for their use in the field of rotative molecular machines.

Ferrocene-Containing Sterically Hindered Phosphonium Salts.

Project description:The synthesis and physical properties of the series of the ferrocenyl-containing sterically hindered phosphonium salts based on di(tert-butyl)ferrocenylphosphine is reported. Analysis of voltamogramms of the obtained compounds revealed some correlations between their structures and electrochemical properties. The elongation of the alkyl chain at the P atom as well as replacement of the Br- anion by [BF₄]- shifts the ferrocene/ferrocenium transition of the resulting salts into the positive region. DFT results shows that in the former case, the Br- anion destabilizes the corresponding ion pair, making its oxidation easier due to increased highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy. Increased HOMO energy for ion pairs with the Br- ion compared to BF₄- are caused by contribution of bromide atomic orbitals to the HOMO. The observed correlations can be used for fine-tuning the properties of the salts making them attractive for applications in multicomponent batteries and capacitors.

Sterically Hindered Derivatives of Pentacene and Octafluoropentacene.

Project description:6,13-Diethynylpentacene derivatives with sterically bulky substituents (Tr*, tris(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)methyl groups) appended to the ethynyl moieties at the 6- and 13-positions have been synthesized, as well as derivatives with electron-withdrawing fluorine groups on the 1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11-positions. These molecules are designed to investigate relationships between steric and electronic effects on the stability of pentacene toward endoperoxide formation via reaction with photosensitized oxygen in solution under ambient light (i. e., 'laboratory' conditions). It is evident from the study that stabilization through changes to the electronic characteristics of pentacene are more effective than the incorporation of sterically bulky groups at the acetylenic termini. Selected pentacene derivatives have been made into binary, amorphous films with the fullerene derivative PCBM to investigate the stability imparted by substituents against cycloaddition reactions. Overall, the introduction of steric protection through the incorporation of Tr* groups is not an efficient strategy for enhancing the persistence of pentacenes. Stabilization through fluorination proves successful for extending the lifetime of the pentacene derivatives by an order of magnitude in solution. Notably, the persistence of pentacene derivatives in solution can also be enhanced through the use of ethereal solvents stabilized with butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and/or an increased number of trialkylsilyl groups as substituents.

Enhanced clickability of doubly sterically-hindered aryl azides.

Project description:Steric character is one of the most fundamental factors to determine the reactivity of the substrate in organic synthesis. In bimolecular reaction, the sterically-bulky group situated close to the reactive center generally prevents the approach of the reaction partner retarding the bond formation. This report describes, to the contrary, significantly enhanced reactivity of 2,6-disubstituted phenyl azides observed in catalyst-free 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with alkynes, unexpectedly reacting faster than unsubstituted phenyl azide and even more faster than unhindered alkyl azide, despite the steric hindrance adjacent to the reactive azido group. Experimental and computational studies have indicated that the steric hindrance eliciting the inhibition of resonance between azido group and the aromatic ring is the primary cause of this apparently-paradoxical phenomenon. This is the first type of steric acceleration, indicating a possibility of designing a highly reactive functional group by strategically locating it in the sterically-congested environment.

Flow carbonylation of sterically hindered ortho-substituted iodoarenes.

Project description:The flow synthesis of ortho-substituted carboxylic acids, using carbon monoxide gas, has been studied for a number of substrates. The optimised conditions make use of a simple catalyst system compromising of triphenylphosphine as the ligand and palladium acetate as the pre-catalyst. Carbon monoxide was introduced via a reverse "tube-in-tube" flow reactor at elevated pressures to give yields of carboxylated products that are much higher than those obtained under normal batch conditions.

Group IV Complexes with Sterically Congested <i>N</i>-Aryl-adamantylcarbamidate Ligands.

Project description:Metalation of N-(2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-tolyl)adamantane-1-carboxamide (1, Ar*N(H)-C(O)-Ad) with M(NMe2)4 (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) yields amidate complexes Ar*N=C(Ad)-O-Ti(NMe2)3 (2) as well as bis(amidate) compounds (Ar*N=C(Ad)-O)2M(NMe2)2 (M = Zr (3), Hf (4)). In 2, the amidate ligand acts as a monodentate base via the oxygen atom with the Ti center in a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment. The steric requirement of the amidate ligand stabilizes the small coordination number of four of the Ti atom. In congeners 3 and 4, two bidentate amidate ligands exist in the coordination spheres, leading to hexacoordinate group IV metal atoms. The small bite angles of the Zr- and Hf-bound amidate ligands lead to severe distortion of the octahedral environments of the Zr and Hf centers. Titanium compound 2 is an unsuitable choice to catalyze hydrofunctionalization of alkynes with amines and phosphane oxides and despite the significantly smaller pKa value of the carboxylic amide, formation of carboxamide 1 is the dominant reaction upon addition of amines or phosphane oxides to release intramolecular steric strain introduced by the very bulky adamantylamidato ligand.

Diverse Biological Activity of Benzofuroxan/Sterically Hindered Phenols Hybrids.

Project description:Combining two pharmacophores in a molecule can lead to useful synergistic effects. Herein, we show hybrid systems that combine sterically hindered phenols with dinitrobenzofuroxan fragments exhibit a broad range of biological activities. The modular assembly of such phenol/benzofuroxan hybrids allows variations in the phenol/benzofuroxan ratio. Interestingly, the antimicrobial activity only appears when at least two benzofuroxan moieties are introduced per phenol. The most potent of the synthesized compounds exhibit high cytotoxicity against human duodenal adenocarcinoma (HuTu 80), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), and human cervical carcinoma cell lines. This toxicity is associated with the induction of apoptosis via the internal mitochondrial pathway and an increase in ROS production. Encouragingly, the index of selectivity relative to healthy tissues exceeds that for the reference drugs Doxorubicin and Sorafenib. The biostability of the leading compounds in whole mice blood is sufficiently high for their future quantification in biological matrices.

London Dispersion Favors Sterically Hindered Diarylthiourea Conformers in Solution.

Project description:We present an experimental and computational study on the conformers of N,N'-diphenylthiourea substituted with different dispersion energy donor (DED) groups. While the unfolded anti-anti conformer is the most relevant for thiourea catalysis, intramolecular noncovalent interactions counterintuitively favor the folded syn-syn conformer, as evident from a combination of low-temperature nuclear magnetic resonance measurements and computations. In order to quantify the noncovalent interactions, we utilized local energy decomposition analysis and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory at the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/def2-TZVPP and sSAPT0/6-311G(d,p) levels of theory. Additionally, we applied a double-mutant cycle to experimentally study the effects of bulky substituents on the equilibria. We determined London dispersion as the key interaction that shifts the equilibria towards the syn-syn conformers. This preference is likely a factor why such thiourea derivatives can be poor catalysts.
