Cation and anion recognition characteristics of open-chain polyamines containing ethylenic and propylenic chains
Abstract The interaction of the polyamines 4,7,10,13-tetraazahexadecane-1,16-diamine (L1) and 4,7,10-triazatridecane-1,13-diamine (L2) with H + , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Co 2+ and the nucleotides ATP, ADP and AMP has been followed by NMR and potentiometric studies performed at 298.1 K in 0.15 mol dm −3 NaClO 4 . The influence of the different sequences of hydrocarbon chains and chelate rings present in the ligands on the values of the protonation constants, the stability of the metal ion complexes as well as in the co-ordination to nucleotides is analysed. The formation of mixed complexes has been investigated for the system Cu 2+ –L1–AMP.
Dopamine interaction with a polyamine cryptand of 1H-pyrazole in the absence and in the presence of Cu(ii) ions. Crystal structure of [Cu2(H−1L](ClO4)3·2H2O
The crystal structure of the binuclear Cu2+ complex [Cu2(H−1L)](ClO4)3 ·2H2O of the cryptand L = 1,4,7,8,11,14,17,20,21,24,29,32,33,36-tetradecaazapentacyclo[12.12.12.1 6,9.119,22,1,31,34]hentetraconta-6,9(41), 19(40), 21,31,34(39)-hexaene is presented; evidence for the formation in solution of binary L–dopamine and ternary Cu2+–L–dopamine complexes is presented.
CuIIand ZnIICoordination Chemistry of Pyrazole‐Containing Polyamine Receptors − Influence of the Hydrocarbon Side Chain Length on the Metal Coordination
The synthesis of a new macrocyclic receptor (L 4 ) containing two 3,5-dimethylpyrazole units connected by dipropylenetriamine bridges is reported for the first time; pH-metric titrations indicate that L 4 shows six protonation steps in the pH range 2-11. In the absence of metal ions, the pyrazole moieties are not involved in acid-base processes in this pH range. Addition of Cu I I and Zn I I results in deprotonation of the pyrazole moieties which act as bis(monodentate) η 1 :η 1 ligands. This induced deprotonation occurs at higher pH values than in the complexes of the analogous ligand containing diethylenetriamine bridges (L 1 ). The crystal structures of [Cu 2 (H - 2 L 4 )](ClO 4 ) 2 and …
Cu2+-Induced formation of cage-like compounds containing pyrazole macrocycles
The crystal structure of the complex [Cu4(H22L)2(H2O)2- (ClO4)2](ClO4)2·2H2O where L is a new pyrazole ligand containing 1,5-diaminopentane spacers represents a new form of obtaining metal ion-induced inorganic–organic cages.

Copper complexes of polyaza[n]cyclophanes and their interaction with DNA and RNA
Abstract The complexation properties of Cu 2+ ions with the cyclophane receptors 2,6,9,13-tetraaza[14]metacyclophane ( L1 ), 2,6,10,13,17,21-hexaaza[22]metacyclophane ( L2 ) and 2,6,10,13,17,21-hexaaza[22]paracyclophane ( L3 ) are presented. Formation of mononuclear complexes in the case of L1 and of mono- and binuclear complexes in the case of the hexaaazcyclophane ligands L2 and L3 is observed. The coordination numbers around each Cu 2+ in the binuclear complexes involve at most three nitrogen donors for each metal ion. Cyclophanes L1 – L3 and several acyclic polyamine ligands are tested for their affinity towards double-stranded nucleic acid models of RNA and DNA. The binding affinity of…
