Photoluminescence and photochemistry of Pt(II)(PPh3)2(C6O6) induced by rhodizonate IL excitation

The complex Pt(II)(PPh₃)₂(C₆O₆) was prepared by the reaction of Ag₂C₆O₆ with cis-Pt(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ in acetonitrile. Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₆O₆) is characterized by a lowest-energy IL (rhodizonate) excited state. The complex shows an IL fluorescence, but is also photoactive. The photolysis leads to the conversion of rhodizonate to croconate in the coordinated state: Pt(II)(PPh₃)₂(C₆O₆) → Pt(II)(PPh₃)₂(C₅O₅) + CO.     

Ag(I)(Et(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)]NO(3): An Antimitochondrial Silver Complex

The silver(I) complex [Ag(eppe)(2)]NO(3) (eppe = Et(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2)) is shown by X-ray crystallography to be tetrahedral with Ag - PEt(2) and Ag - P Ph(2) bond lengths of 2.482 and 2.518 A, respectively. The complex is selectively antimitochondrial and inhibits the growth of a number of yeast strains in non-fermentable media at concentrations as low as 2.5 muMu and induces the mitochondrial mutation petite The effect is largely reversed by the presence of aspirin. The complex is shown to be stable in the cell culture media and in the presence of glutathione, but readily reacts with disulfides of oxidized glutathione and serum albumin. Surprisingly, neither [Au(eppe)(2)]Cl nor [Au(eppe)(2)]Cl (dppe = Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2)) showed any mitochondrial selectivity in the same screening protocol.     

Immobilization of Ru(II)(salen)(PPh3)2 on Mesoporous MCM-41/SBA-15: Characterization and Catalytic Applications

Ru(II)(salen)(PPh₃)₂ immobilized on MCM-41 and SBA-15 modified with aminopropyl groups as linkers has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, TEM, FTIR, BET, and TGA. Elemental analysis shows that the grafted samples contain 0.7–0.8 wt.% Ru. The retaining of long range ordering of the mesoporous MCM-41 and SBA-15 supporting materials after grafting is evident from TEM and N₂ adsorption/desorption measurements. FTIR and TGA spectra show the formation of metal salen complexes with the amino groups acting as connectors to the SiO₂ surface. Both grafted materials were successfully applied as catalysts for the olefination of various aldehydes with very good yields and high E-selectivity. The catalyst materials are recyclable for several catalytic runs.     

Interaction of [Rh(2)(O(2)CCH(3))(4)(H(2)O)(2)] and [Rh(2)(O(2)CCH(OH)Ph)(2)(phen)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](O(2)C-CH(OH)Ph)(2) With Sulfhydryl Compounds and Ceruloplasmin

The interaction of binuclear rhodium(II) complexes [Rh(2)(OOCCH(3))(4)(H(2)O)(2)], [Rh(2){OOCCH(OH)Ph}(2)(phen)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] {OOCCH(OH)Ph}(2), [Rh(2)(OOCCH(3))(2)(bpy)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](OOCCH(3))(2) and [Rh(2)Cl(2)(OOCMe)(2)(bpy)(2)](3H(2)O) with ceruloplasmin, cysteine, glutathione and coenzyme A have been investigated using. UV-Vis and CD spectroscopies. The complexes containing phen or bpy at pH = 7.4 and 4.0 are readily reduced with sulfhydryl compounds, while rhodium(II) acetate is relatively stable in these conditions. Complex [Rh(2){OOCCH(OH)Ph}(2)(phen)(2)(H(2)O)(2)] strongly changes structure of ceruloplasmin leading to the decrease of of alpha-helix content and loss of oxidase activity.

Copper(II) azide complexes of [Cu(acac)(N3)(dpyam)] and [Cu(μ-N3-κN1)(C2N3-κN1)(dpyam)]2: Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism

Two new compounds, [Cu(acac)(N₃)(dpyam)] (1), (acac = acetylacetonate; dpyam = di-2-pyridylamine) and [Cu(μ-N₃-κ^N1)(C₂N₃- κ^N1) (dpyam)]₂ (2), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and magnetic analyses. Compound 1 is a mononuclear compound in which each of two independent Cu(II) ions is penta-coordinated with a distorted square pyramidal geometry with distortion parameters τ = 0.21 and 0.16. In contrast, compound 2 is an azido-bridged dinuclear compound with monodentate dicyanamide anions and the Cu(II) ions display a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry with τ = 0.73 and end-on azido bridges providing an equatorial–axial position between the metal ions. The EPR spectra of powdered samples for 1 and 2 have also been investigated. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of compound 2 reveal a very weak ferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(II) ions with a J value of +5.8 cm⁻¹.     

Photoluminescence of 8-quinolinolato(trioxo)rhenium(VII)

The complex Re^VIIO₃(oxinate) (oxine=8-quinolinol or 8-hydroxyquinoline) shows a green fluorescence at λ_max=511 nm with φ=0.012 and a very weak red phosphorescence at λ_max=645 nm. Both emissions originate from the lowest-energy ππ* intraligand state of the oxinate ligand. Owing to the d⁰ electron configuration and the high oxidation state of rhenium the heavy atom effect transmitted to the π-electron system of the oxinate ligand is very weak.     

Down-Regulation of Porcine Heart Diaphorase Reactivity by Trimanganese Hexakis(3,5-Diisopropylsalicylate), Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)6, and Down-Regulation of Nitric Oxide Synthase Reactivity by Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) and Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4)

Purposes of this work were to examine the plausible down-regulation of porcine heart diaphorase (PHD) enzyme reactivity and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme reactivity by trimanganese hexakis(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate), [Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6)] as well as dicopper tetrakis(3,5- diisopropylsalicylate, [Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4)] as a mechanistic accounting for their pharmacological activities.Porcine heart disease was found to oxidize 114 muM reduced nicotinamide-adenine- dinucleotide-'(3)-phosphate (NADPH) with a corresponding reduction of an equivalent concentration of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP). As reported for Cu(II)(2) (3,5-DIPS)(4), addition of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) to this reaction mixture decreased the reduction of DCPIP without significantly affecting the oxidation of NADPH. The concentration of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) that produced a 50% decrease in DCPIP reduction (IC(50)) was found to be 5muM. Mechanistically, this inhibition of DCPIP reduction with ongoing NADPH oxidation by PHD was found to be due to the ability of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) to serve as a catalytic electron acceptor for reduced PHD as had been reported for Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4). This catalytic decrease in reduction of DCPIP by Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) was enhanced by the presence of a large concentration of DCPIP and decreased by the presence of a large concentration of NADPH, consistent with what had been observed for the activity of Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4)Oxidation of NADPH by PHD in the presence of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) and the absence of DCPIP was linearly related to the concentration of added Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) through the concentration range of 2.4 muM to 38muM with a 50% recovery of NADPH oxidation by PHD at a concentration of 6 muM Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6)Conversion of [(3)H] L-Arginine to [(3)H] L-Citrulline by purified rat brain nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was decreased in a concentrated related fashion with the addition of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) as well as Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4) which is an extention of results reported earlier for Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4). The concentration of these two compounds required to produce a 50% decrease in L-Citrulline synthesis by NOS, which may be due to down-regulation of NOS, were 0.1 mM and 8muM respectively, consistent with the relative potencies of these two complexes in preventing the reduction of Cytochrome c by NOS.It is concluded that Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6), as has been reported for Cu(II)(2) (3,5-DIPS)(4) , serves as an electron acceptor in down-regulating PHD and both of these complexes down-regulate rat brain NOS reactivity. A decrease in NO synthesis in animal models of seizure and radiation injury may account for the anticonvulsant, radioprotectant, and radiorecovery activities of Mn(3)(3,5-DIPS)(6) and Cu(II)(2)(3,5-DIPS)(4).     

Intraligand fluorescence of M(III)(oxinate)3 under ambient conditions with M = Fe,Ru, Os and oxinate = 8-quinolinolate

The electronic spectra of the complexes M(III)(oxinate)₃ with M = Fe, Ru, Os and oxinate = 8-quinolinolate are dominated by oxinate to M(III) LMCT transitions. Nevertheless, these complexes are also characterized by a fluorescence at higher energies, which originates from the oxinate ligands. This green luminescence appears in solution as well as in the solid state under ambient conditions. The electronic coupling between the IL and the LMCT states is apparently not strong enough to lead to a complete quenching of the oxinate IL fluorescence.     

Isomerization of 1-hexene catalyzed over polymer-supported RuCl2(PPh3)3

Polymer-supported ruthenium catalyst was prepared by anchoring dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium, RuCl₂(PPh₃)3, onto the phosphinated polystyrene bead. The polymer-supported RuCl₂(PPh₃)3 could be reused several times with only small loss of catalytic activity in the isomerization of 1-hexene. The activity rather increased during the few initial runs. In both homogeneous and heterogenized catalysts, an induction period was required to initiate the isomerization. The catalyst efficiency was promoted in the mixture of good swelling solvent and potent hydrogen donor. Upon heterogenizing, the activity was reduced by a factor of 2.0-8.2.

An Active and Stable RhH(CO)(PPh3)3-Derived SiO2-Tethered Catalyst Via a Thiol Ligand for Cyclohexene Hydroformylation

A RhH(CO)(PPh₃)₃-derived SiO₂-tethered catalyst via a thiol ligand is not only quite effective and stable for cyclohexene hydroformylation under the milder conditions of 100 °C and 28 bar of equimolar CO and H₂ but also more active than the corresponding homogeneous catalyst. This catalyst has the advantage in resistance to rhodium leaching over homologous tethered catalysts via phosphine and amine ligands.

Kinetics of hydroformylation of 1-decene using homogeneous HRh(CO)(PPh3)3 catalyst: a molecular level approach

The kinetics of hydroformylation of 1-decene using homogenous HRh(CO)(PPh₃)₃ catalyst has been reported in the temperature range of 50–70 °C. The effect of catalyst,P _{H 2},P _CO, and 1-decene concentration on the rate of hydroformylation has been studied. Based on the analysis of initial rate data, a rate equation has been proposed and kinetic parameters evaluated. The activation energy was found to be 11.76 kcal/mol. A molecular level approach to kinetic modelling has also been illustrated. The rate equation derived assuming oxidative addition of H₂ as a rate determining step, has been found to represent the data satisfactorily. The rate parameters for the mechanistic model have been evaluated for the data at 60 °C.NCL Communication No. 5735.     

Study of Gold Species in Iron-Oxide-Supported Gold Catalysts Derived from Gold-Phosphine Complex Au(PPh3)(NO3) and As-Precipitated Wet Fe(OH)3*

Iron-oxide-supported gold catalysts were prepared by supporting a Au phosphine complex Au(PPh₃)(NO₃) on as-precipitated wet iron hydroxide Fe(OH)₃^*, followed by temperature-programmed calcination. The Au/Fe(OH)₃^*catalysts calcined at the temperatures 573–773 K showed extremely high catalytic performance for CO oxidation at temperatures as low as 203–253 K. Interaction of the Au(PPh₃)(NO₃) gold precursor with the Fe(OH)₃^*upon supporting, transformation of the precursor during the heat treatments, and state of the gold in the catalysts were studied by FT-IR, XRD, TEM, XPS, and EXAFS. The gold precursor dissociated on the Fe(OH)₃^*surface to produce [Au(PPh₃)]⁺species which partially decomposed at 473 K and was transformed to small gold metallic particles with coordination numbers of 7.4–8.0 for Au-Au bond at calcination temperatures ≥573 K. In contrast, decomposition of the gold complex over crystalline Fe₂O₃^*resulted in large gold particles. The Au/Fe₂O₃^*sample was inactive at 203–253 K and exhibited very low activity for CO oxidation at room temperature. The efficiency of the as-precipitated wet Fe(OH)₃^*as a support is explained in terms of a higher stability of [Au(PPh₃)]⁺on the Fe(OH)₃^*as compared to the Fe₂O₃^*due to more effective interaction of the Au species with OH groups and defects of the amorphous Fe(OH)₃^*surface. The results demonstrate the importance of support–metal precursor interactions, both upon supporting and during calcination, in the formation of highly active catalysts with small Au particles for low-temperature CO oxidation.
