Different coordination modes of a 1,1′,2,2′-ferrocenyltetraphosphine: Bi- and tri-dentate behaviour with group 6 and 7 transition metals
The behaviour of 1,1′,2,2′-tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-di(tert-butyl)ferrocene (1), acting as a homoannular or heteroannular ligand, has been studied. Due to the cisoid disposition of the phosphino groups of each ring, different coordination modes are observed. With group 6 metal carbonyls, M(CO)6, the tetraphosphine acts exclusively as a tridentate ligand. In contrast, the reaction with MnCp(CO)3 leads to complexes showing 1,1′ and 1,2 bidentate coordination modes. All these complexes have been characterised by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of the molybdenum complex [(1)Mo(CO)3] (2b) and the 1,1′ manganese complex [(1)MnCp(CO)] (3) have been established by X-ra…
Structural determinants of resveratrol for cell proliferation inhibition potency: experimental and docking studies of new analogs.
International audience; Resveratrol is the subject of intense research because of the abundance of this compound in the human diet and as one of the most valuable natural chemopreventive agents. Further advances require new resveratrol analogs be used to identify the structural determinants of resveratrol for the inhibition potency of cell proliferation by comparing experimental and docking studies. Therefore, we synthesized new trans/(E)- and cis/(Z)-resveratrol - analogs not reported to date - by modifying the hydroxylation pattern of resveratrol and a double bond geometry. We included them in a larger panel of 14 molecules, including (Z)-3,5,4'-trimethoxystilbene, the most powerful molec…
Synthesis, characterization and electrochemistry of bismuth porphyrins: X-ray crystal structure of (OEP)Bi(SO3CF3)
The metalation of several free base porphyrins by the bismuth salts Bi(NO3)3 and Bi(SO3CF3)3 in DMF or pyridine is described. The resulting stable Bi(III) porphyrin complexes are characterized by electrochemistry, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The structure of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) was also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shows that ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) exists as a dimer which is stabilized by electrostatic interactions in which the two [(OEP)Bi]+ cations are linked via oxygen atoms of two symmetrically related [Formula: see text] anions, leading to a heptacoordinated bismuth center. Electrochemical oxidation of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) and ( T p TP ) Bi ( SO3CF3 )…
