Poly(alkylidenamines) dendrimers as scaffolds for the preparation of low-generation ruthenium based metallodendrimers
The aim of this article is to highlight the use of nitrile-functionalized poly(alkylidenamines) dendrimers as building blocks for the preparation of low-generation ruthenium based cationic metallodendrimers having in view potential biomedical applications. Air-stable poly(alkylidenamines) nitrile dendrimers, peripherally functionalized with the ruthenium moieties [Ru(η5-C5H5)(PPh3)2]+ or [RuCl(dppe)2]+, have been prepared, characterized and are being studied for their anticancer activity. The followed strategy is based on the biological advantages associated with low-generation dendrimers, the known activity of ruthenium compounds as anticancer drugs and the stability of these dendrimers at…

Divergent route to the preparation of hybrid Pt–Fe 2,4,6-Tris(4-ethynyl)phenyl-1,3,5-triazine metallodendrimers for nonlinear optics
Abstract: The synthesis strategy for the preparation of novel platinum acetylide homometallic and heterobimetallic dendrimers (containing Fe as the other metal fragment) based on a 2,4,6-tris(4-ethynyl)phenyl-1,3,5-triazine core (3) is reported. All the dendrimer generations (G0G2) were synthesized under copper-free conditions following a divergent route. The G0-Pt dendrimer (4) was synthesized using the 1,3,5-triazine core (3) and cis-[Pt(PEt3)2Cl2] with a molar ratio of 1/4. The advantage of the current method is that different dendrimers can be prepared by following the same procedure with only changes in the molar ratios of the reactants involved. For instance, when 3 reacts with 4 in a…
Preparation and Characterization of Novel Poly(alkylidenamine) Nitrile Ruthenium Metallodendrimers
Complete functionalization of N,N,N',N'-[tetrakis(cyanoethyl)-hexamethylenediamine] [N≡C(CH 2 ) 2 ] 2 N(CH 2 ) 6 N[(CH 2 ) 2 -C≡N] 2 (4) and N,N,N',N'-(tetrakis(cyanoethoxypropyl)hexamethylenediamine] [N≡C(CH 2 ) 2 O(CH 2 ) 3 ] 2 N(CH 2 ) 6 N[(CH 2 ) 3 -O(CH 2 ) 2 C≡N] 2 (7) with the organometallic moiety [Ru(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(PPh 3 ) 2 Cl] and the five-coordinate cis-[RuCl(dppe) 2 ]-[PF 6 ] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] was attained with good yield, respectively, by treating the metallo-fragment with the core in methanol (at room temperature and in presence of TIPF 6 as a chloride abstractor) and in 1,2-dichloroethane (under reflux). These novel nitrile-functionalized poly(alkyli…

A convenient route for the preparation of the monohydride catalyst trans-[RuCl(H)(dppe)2] (dppe=Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2): improved synthesis and crystal structure
Abstract A novel and improved room temperature synthesis of the monohydride catalyst trans-[RuCl(H)(dppe)2] complex (1, dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) proceeds through oxidation of methanol (the solvent) by the pentacoordinated cis-[RuCl(dppe)2][PF6] complex and t-BuOK as the base is described. Compound 1 was fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C, 31P), ESI-MS(TOF +), FTIR and elemental analysis. The X-ray structure of 1 was reported for the first time and unambiguously confirms the trans-configuration of the complex.
