Four new Pd(II) complexes containing sulfonate-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been synthesized. All are palladium bis-NHCs, in which the adopt a monodentate, bis-chelating, and pincer coordination form, so that good comparison between their catalytic activities can be performed. The used Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling reaction aryl halides phenylboronic acid water iPrOH/water. bis-NHC-palladium complex 1, two NHC relative cis configuration, affords best outcomes, with high...
The formation of oligomeric soluble aggregates is related to the toxicity amyloid peptides and proteins. In this manuscript, we report use a ruthenium polypyridyl complex ([Ru(bpy)2(dpqp)]2+) track oligomers at different times using photoluminescence anisotropy. This technique sensitive rotational correlation time molecule under study, which consequently size molecule. [Ru(bpy)2(dpqp)]2+ presents anisotropy values zero when free in solution (due its rapid rotation long lifetime) but larger...
Zileuton is the only FDA-approved 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor for asthma treatment, but it produces hepatotoxicity associated with benzothiophene fragment. Using concept of organometallic derivatization pioneered by Jaouen and Brocard, we synthesized five new derivatives, maintaining urea fragment incorporating ferrocenyl ruthenocenyl moiety (3a-e). Their biological activity was evaluated against 5-LOX, 15-LOX, COX-1, COX-2 enzymes. The N-hydroxyurea complexes coined Ferroleuton (3a)...
Substituted amino-piperazine derivatives were synthesized and used as precursors for the preparation of a series new organometallic Re(i) imine complexes with general formula [(η5-C5H4CH[double bond, length m-dash]N-(CH2)5-Pz-R)Re(CO)3] (Pz-R: -alkyl or aryl piperazine). The piperazine-based ligands designed to be potential inhibitors GSK-3β kinase. All fully characterized evaluated against HT-29 PT-45 cancer cell lines, in which plays crucial role. In this context, we carried out biological...
The UV irradiation of [Re(η5-C5Me5)(CO)3] in the presence C6F6 effected intermolecular C–F and intramolecular C–H activation generating [Re(η6-C5Me4CH2)(CO)2(C6F5)] 1a two isomeric forms. In major isomer CH2 group lies trans to C6F5 both solution crystal. minor cis group. A similar reaction with C6F5CF3 generates [Re(η6-C5Me4CH2)(CO)2(C6F4CF3)] 1b four form CF3 is 4 position C6F4CF3 other three isomers are formed by rotation η6-C5Me4CH2 ligand as above, placing at 3 position, a combination...
This article reports the synthesis and characterisation of two lower rim calix[4]arene derivatives with thiourea as spacer pyrene or methylene-pyrene fluorophore.
UV Irradiation of [Re(η5-C5R5)(CO)3] (R = Me or H) in the presence C6F5H 1,2,4,5-C6F4H2 effected intramolecular C–H activation, generating hydrido complexes trans-[Re(η5-C5R5)(CO)2(Ar)FH] [(Ar)F C6F5 2,3,5,6-C6F4H] as principal photochemical products. The identities were confirmed by independent thermal syntheses. photoreaction [Re(η5-C5Me5)(CO)3] with also generated fulvene complex [Re(η6-C5Me4CH2)(CO)2(C6F5)] 2a and two bis(aryl) derivatives: cis-[Re(η5-C5Me5)(CO)2(C6F5)2] 3a...
Cyrhetrenyl aldehyde derivatives [(η5-C5H4CHO)Re(CO)2PR3] with R = methyl (Me, 2a), phenyl (Ph, 2b), and cyclohexyl (Cy, 2c) were synthesized by a photochemical reaction from the starting material [(η5-C5H4CHO)Re(CO)3] (1) corresponding phosphines. The complexes fully characterized FT-IR, 1H, 13C 31P NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis mass spectrometry. molecular structures of 2a-c have also been determined. Electronic structure calculations TD-DFT electrochemical studies are in sound...
