Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Inorganic–Organic Hybrid Frameworks Constructed from Pyridine-2,5-Dicarboxylic Acid

Two novel inorganic–organic hybrid frameworks of [Co(2,5-pydc)(4,4′-bipyo)_0.5(H₂O)₃ · 3H₂O] _n (1) and [Cu_1.5Gd(2,5-pydc)₃(2,2′-bipyo)(H₂O)₄ · 2H₂O] _n (2) (2,5-pydc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid; 4,4′-bipyo = 4,4′-bipyridine-N,N′-dioxide; 2,2′-bipyo = 2,2′-bipyridine-N,N′-dioxide) were prepared. Both compounds have been characterized by the elemental analyses, IR spectra, TG analysis and the single crystal diffraction. The salient structural feature for both compounds 1 and 2 is that the 1D chain and the mononuclear fragment are connected by strong hydrogen bond interactions to form 2D structure.     

New Indenylidene‐Schiff Base‐Ruthenium Complexes for Cross‐Metathesis and Ring‐Closing Metathesis

We here report on the stability and catalytic activity of new indenylidene‐Schiff base‐ruthenium complexes 3a – f through representative cross‐metathesis (CM) and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) reactions. Excellent activity of the new complexes was found for the two selected RCM reactions; prominent conversion was obtained compared to the commercial Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst 2 . Moreover, excellent results were obtained for a standard CM reaction. Higher conversions were achieved with one of the indenylidene catalysts compared with Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst. Unexpectedly, an isomerization reaction was observed during the CM reaction of allylbenzene. To the best of our knowledge, isomerization reactions in this model CM reaction in closed systems have never been described using first generation catalysts, including the Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst. The first model CM reactions as well as the RCM reactions have been monitored using ¹H NMR. The course of the CM reaction of 3‐phenylprop‐1‐ene ( 8 ) and cis‐1,4‐diacetoxybut‐2‐ene ( 9 ) was monitored by GC. The isomerization reaction was studied by means of GC‐mass spectrometry and in situ IR spectroscopy. All catalysts were structurally characterized by means of ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy.     

Hybrid QM/MM Simulations Confirm Zn(II) Coordination Sphere That Includes Four Cysteines from the P2 × 4R Head Domain

To ascertain the role of Zn(II) as an allosteric modulator on P2X4R, QM/MM molecular dynamic simulations were performed on the WT and two P2X4R mutants suggested by previous electrophysiological data to affect Zn(II) binding. The Gibbs free energy for the reduction of the putative P2X4R Zn(II) binding site by glutathione was estimated at −22 kcal/mol. Simulations of the WT P2X4R head domain revealed a flexible coordination sphere dominated by an octahedral geometry encompassing C126, N127, C132, C149, C159 and a water molecule. The C132A mutation disrupted the metal binding site, leading to a coordination sphere with a majority of water ligands, and a displacement of the metal ion towards the solvent. The C132A/C159A mutant exhibited a tendency towards WT-like stability by incorporating the R148 backbone to the coordination sphere. Thus, the computational findings agree with previous experimental data showing Zn(II) modulation for the WT and C132A/C159A variants, but not for the C132A mutant. The results provide molecular insights into the nature of the Zn(II) modulation in P2X4R, and the effect of the C132A and C132A/C159A mutations, accounting for an elusive modulation mechanism possibly occurring in other extracellular or membrane protein.

Novel N,N‐Bidentate Ligands for Enantioselective Copper(I)‐ Catalyzed Allylic Oxidation of Cyclic Olefins

New N,N‐bidentate Schiff base ligands containing the 2‐quinolyl moiety proved to be effective in conferring high reactivity and moderate to high enantioselectivity (up to 84% ee) to the copper(I)‐catalyzed asymmetric allylic oxidation of various cylic olefins with tert‐butyl perbenzoate. As copper(I) sources, we employed copper(II) triflate/phenylhydrazine [Cu(OTf)₂/PhNHNH₂] and tetra(acetonitrile)copper hexafluorophosphate [Cu(CH₃CN)₄PF₆]. Using the same N,N‐bidentate Schiff base ligand, the former showed high reactivity and the latter showed high enantioselectivity.

Nanostructured Metal–Organic Conjugated Coordination Polymers with Ligand Tailoring for Superior Rechargeable Energy Storage

Conjugated coordination polymers have become an emerging category of redox‐active materials. Although recent studies heavily focus on the tailoring of metal centers in the complexes to achieve stable electrochemical performance, the effect on different substitutions of the bridging bonds has rarely been studied. An innovative tailoring strategy is presented toward the enhancement of the capacity storage and the stability of metal–organic conjugated coordination polymers. Two nanostructured d‐π conjugated compounds, Ni[C₆H₂(NH)₄]_n (Ni‐NH) and Ni[C₆H₂(NH)₂S₂]_n (Ni‐S), are evaluated and demonstrated to exhibit hybrid electrochemical processes. In particular, Ni‐S delivers a high reversible capacity of 1164 mAh g^?1, an ultralong stability up to 1500 cycles, and a fully recharge ability in 67 s. This tailoring strategy provides a guideline to design future effective conjugated coordination‐polymer‐based electrodes.
