Ferrocene and Transition Metal Bis(Dicarbollides) as Platform for Design of Rotatory Molecular Switches.

ABSTRACT: Design of rotatory molecular switches based on extremely stable sandwich organometallic complexes ferrocene and bis(dicarbollide) complexes of transition metals is reviewed. The "on"-"off" switching in these systems can be controlled by various external stimuli such as change of the solution pH, interactions with coordinating species or redox reactions involving the central atom or substituents in the ligands.

Bis(dicarbollide) Complexes of Transition Metals as a Platform for Molecular Switches. Study of Complexation of 8,8'-Bis(methylsulfanyl) Derivatives of Cobalt and Iron Bis(dicarbollides).

Project description:Complexation of the 8,8'-bis(methylsulfanyl) derivatives of cobalt and iron bis(dicarbollides) [8,8'-(MeS)2-3,3'-M(1,2-C2B9H10)2]- (M = Co, Fe) with copper, silver, palladium and rhodium leads to the formation of the corresponding chelate complexes, which is accompanied by a transition from the transoid to the cisoid conformation of the bis(dicarbollide) complex. This transition is reversible and can be used in design of coordination-driven molecular switches based on transition metal bis(dicarbollide) complexes. The solid-state structures of {(Ph3P)ClPd[8,8'- (MeS)2-3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2-κ2-S,S']} and {(COD)Rh[8,8'-(MeS)2-3,3'-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2-κ2-S,S']} were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Transition metal redox switches for reversible "on/off" and "slow/fast" single-molecule magnet behaviour in dysprosium and erbium bis-diamidoferrocene complexes.

Project description:Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are considered viable candidates for next-generation data storage and quantum computing. Systems featuring switchability of their magnetization dynamics are particularly interesting with respect to accessing more complex logic gates and device architectures. Here we show that transition metal based redox events can be exploited to enable reversible switchability of slow magnetic relaxation of magnetically anisotropic lanthanide ions. Specifically, we report anionic homoleptic bis-diamidoferrocene complexes of Dy3+ (oblate) and Er3+ (prolate) which can be reversibly oxidized by one electron to yield their respective charge neutral redox partners (Dy: [1]- , 1; Er: [2]- , 2). Importantly, compounds 1 and 2 are thermally stable which allowed for detailed studies of their magnetization dynamics. We show that the Dy3+[1]- /1 system can function as an "on"/"off" or a "slow"/"fast" redox switchable SMM system in the absence or presence of applied dc fields, respectively. The Er3+ based [2]- /2 system features "on"/"off" switchability of SMM properties in the presence of applied fields. Results from electrochemical investigations, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy indicate the presence of significant electronic communication between the mixed-valent Fe ions in 1 and 2 in both solution and solid state. This comparative evaluation of redox-switchable magnetization dynamics in low coordinate lanthanide complexes may be used as a potential blueprint toward the development of future switchable magnetic materials.

Molecular switches from benzene derivatives adsorbed on metal surfaces.

Project description:Transient precursor states are often experimentally observed for molecules adsorbing on surfaces. However, such precursor states are typically rather short-lived, quickly yielding to more stable adsorption configurations. Here we employ first-principles calculations to systematically explore the interaction mechanism for benzene derivatives on metal surfaces, enabling us to selectively tune the stability and the barrier between two metastable adsorption states. In particular, in the case of the tetrachloropyrazine molecule, two equally stable adsorption states are identified with a moderate and conceivably reversible barrier between them. We address the feasibility of experimentally detecting the predicted bistable behaviour and discuss its potential usefulness in a molecular switch.

New 1,1'-Ferrocene Bis(sulfonyl) Reagents.

Project description:Several new 1,1'-bis(sulfonyl)ferrocenes designed for the synthesis of sulfonamide linked biological conjugates have been prepared. 1,1'-Bis(sulfonylbromide)ferrocene can be produced from the corresponding sulfonylchloride via a bis(sulfonylhydrazide) intermediate. Bis(sulfonyl-N-hydroxybenzotriazole)ferrocene can also be synthesized from the sulfonyl chloride, and reaction of glycine methyl ester with the sulfonyl chloride affords a [3]ferrocenophane complex. All new compounds have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography.

A massively parallel screening platform for converting aptamers into molecular switches.

Project description:Aptamer-based molecular switches that undergo a binding-induced conformational change have proven valuable for a wide range of applications, such as imaging metabolites in cells, targeted drug delivery, and real-time detection of biomolecules. Since conventional aptamer selection methods do not typically produce aptamers with inherent structure-switching functionality, the aptamers must be converted to molecular switches in a post-selection process. Efforts to engineer such aptamer switches often use rational design approaches based on in silico secondary structure predictions. Unfortunately, existing software cannot accurately model three-dimensional oligonucleotide structures or non-canonical base-pairing, limiting the ability to identify appropriate sequence elements for targeted modification. Here, we describe a massively parallel screening-based strategy that enables the conversion of virtually any aptamer into a molecular switch without requiring any prior knowledge of aptamer structure. Using this approach, we generate multiple switches from a previously published ATP aptamer as well as a newly-selected boronic acid base-modified aptamer for glucose, which respectively undergo signal-on and signal-off switching upon binding their molecular targets with second-scale kinetics. Notably, our glucose-responsive switch achieves ~30-fold greater sensitivity than a previously-reported natural DNA-based switch. We believe our approach could offer a generalizable strategy for producing target-specific switches from a wide range of aptamers.

Bis(?-ferrocene-carboxyl-ato)bis-[aqua--bis(ferrocene-carboxyl-ato)methano-l-erbium(III)] methanol disolvate.

Project description:In the centrosymmetric title coordination compound, [Er(2){Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(6)H(4)O(2))}(6)(CH(3)OH)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2CH(3)OH, the two Er(III) ions are bridged by two ferrocene-carboxyl-ate anions as asymmetrically bridging ligands, leading to dimeric cores. The Er(III) ion has a distorted dodeca-hedral coordination with six coordinating O atoms derived from the ferrocene-carboxyl-ate ligands and two coordinated O atoms from one water mol-ecule and one methanol mol-ecule. The asymmetric unit comprises a half of the complex mol-ecule and a methanol solvent mol-ecule. Intra-molecular O-H?O and C-H?O inter-actions occur. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds and C-H?O as well as C-H?? inter-actions.

1,1'-Bis[bis-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)phosphan-yl]ferrocene.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title substituted ferrocene complex, [Fe(C??H??O?P)?], the Fe(II) atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, giving an eclipsed cyclo-penta-dienyl conformation with a ring centroid separation of 3.292?(7)?Å and an Fe-C bond-length range of 2.0239?(15)-2.0521?(15)?Å. In the ligand, the cyclo-penta-dienyl ring forms dihedral angles of 60.36?(6) and 82.93?(6)° with the two benzene rings of the diphenyl-phosphine group, while the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.4?(5)°.

Crowdsourced RNA design discovers diverse, reversible, efficient, self-contained molecular switches.

Project description:Internet-based scientific communities promise a means to apply distributed, diverse human intelligence toward previously intractable scientific problems. However, current implementations have not allowed communities to propose experiments to test all emerging hypotheses at scale or to modify hypotheses in response to experiments. We report high-throughput methods for molecular characterization of nucleic acids that enable the large-scale video game–based crowdsourcing of RNA sensor design, followed by high-throughput functional characterization. Iterative design testing of thousands of crowdsourced RNA sensor designs produced near–thermodynamically optimal and reversible RNA switches that act as self-contained molecular sensors and couple five distinct small molecule inputs to three distinct protein binding and fluorogenic outputs. This work suggests a paradigm for widely distributed experimental bioscience.
