Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies of poly(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins

2011

Abstract The synthesis and electrochemical characterization of two related series of porphyrins bearing diethoxyphosphoryl groups are reported. One group of compounds is represented as (T( p -R)PP)M where R = phos = P(O)(OEt) 2 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 while the other is represented as (di( p -R)Pdi(phos)P)M where R = P(O)(OEt) 2 , H or CH 3 and M = Zn(II) or H 2 . Each porphyrin was investigated by electrochemistry and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry in CH 2 Cl 2 , CDCl 3 , CHCl 3 or PhCN containing tetra- n -butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as supporting electrolyte. The highly electron-withdrawing P(O)(OEt) 2 groups lead to easier reductions and harder oxidations than the two comparison …

On the synthesis of functionalized porphyrins and porphyrin conjugates via β-aminoporphyrins

2016

International audience; The synthesis of functionalized porphyrins and their conjugates from meso-tetraarylporphyrins through the acylation and the oxidation of beta-aminoporphyrins was investigated. 2,3-Dioxochlorins were prepared by the oxidation of a variety of beta-aminoporphyrins and subsequently used in a condensation reaction with functionalized aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate to form beta-functionalized porphyrins bearing a fused imidazole ring. Under optimized experimental conditions both reactions tolerate various functional groups and afford the products in an appropriate overall yield. The mildness and usefulness of this methodology are illustrated by several examples in…

Rational design of aminoanthraquinones for colorimetric detection of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution

2011

A family of water-soluble colorimetric chemosensors incorporating an anthraquinone signalling subunit functionalized with a polyamine chain that bears hydrophilic diethoxyphosphoryl moieties was prepared with the aim of assaying metal cations. The outstanding UV-Vis absorption properties of the 1-aminoanthraquinone chromophore allowed the efficient visual detection and quantification of copper(II) ions by chelators L(1)-L(3) in buffered aqueous solution. Moreover, the visible response of L(2) is not interfered by addition of large excesses of 13 common metal ions, whereas chemosensor L(3) produces also a color change in the presence of equimolar amounts of lead(II). Considering the 134 nm g…

Towards sensory Langmuir monolayers consisting of macrocyclic pentaaminoanthraquinone

2014

A pentaazamacrocycle incorporating an intracyclic anthraquinone fragment (PENTAQ) was synthesized with the aim of forming metal-responsive Langmuir monolayers. PENTAQ allows a good discrimination by naked eye of copper ions in methanol–water solutions (50 : 50 v/v). Spectrophotometric investigations of the protonation and Cu2+ binding properties of PENTAQ were undertaken in order to gain a deeper insight into the pH-dependent speciation as well as the color changing process. PENTAQ monolayers at air/water and air/methanol–water interfaces were prepared according to the Langmuir procedure. The structure of the monolayers can be tuned by varying the pH of the aqueous subphase, since it was fo…

The copper(II) binding properties of the macrobicyclic diamide 1,9,12,18,22-pentaazatricyclo[7.6.6.1(3,7)]docosa-3,5,7(22)-triene-13,19-dione (L1) have been fully investigated by spectroscopic (IR, UV-vis, EPR, MALDI-TOF MS), X-ray diffraction, potentiometric, electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical methods. This constrained receptor possesses a hemispherical cavity created by cross-bridging the 1 and 8 positions of trans-dioxocyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,12-dione, L2) with a 2,6-pyridyl strap. Treatment of L1 with a copper salt in methanol produces a red complex of [Cu(L1H(-1))]+ formula in which the copper atom is embedded in a 13-membered ring and coordinated by both a…

Base Control of Electron-Transfer Reactions of Manganese(III) Porphyrins

2000

Homogeneous electron-transfer kinetics for the reduction of four different manganese(III) porphyrins using different reductants were examined in deaerated acetonitrile, and the resulting data were evaluated in light of the Marcus theory of electron transfer to determine electron-exchange rate constants between manganese(III) and manganese(II) porphyrins. The investigated compounds are represented as (P)MnCl, where P = the dianion of dodecaphenylporphyrin (DPPX; X = H20, Cl12H8, or F20) or tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP). The electron transfer from semiquinone radical anion derivatives to (P)MnIIICl leads to formation of the corresponding MnII complex, [(P)MnIICl]−. The electron-exchange rate con…

1996

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of bimetallic and trimetallic porphyrins of the type [(P)SnRe(CO) 5 ]BF 4 and [{(P)Sn} 2 Re(CO) 4 ]BF 4 are reported where P is the dianion of tetra- p -tolyporphyrin (TpTP) or tetra- m -tolyporphyrin (TmTP). These metal-metal bonded complexes were synthesized by reaction of Re 2 (CO) 10 with the corresponding (P)SnCl 2 derivatives in 1,2-dichlorobenzene followed by a reaction with NaBF 4 or TBABF 4 in toluene to give the BF − 4 salt. Each compound was characterized by a variety of spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques while the structures were assigned on the basis of FAB mass spectral data and by comparison of their physicochemical proper…

Origin and significance of the production of carbon dioxide during the ozonization of 13C-labeled D-glucose at different pH values.

2001

Abstract [1- 13 C], [2- 13 C] and [6- 13 C] d -glucose were, respectively, ozonized in a semi-batch reactor in acidic and basic conditions. The composition of the gas phase was evaluated by on-line mass spectrometry measurements. The quantitative and isotopic analyses of the carbon dioxide formed during ozonization are presented and discussed. The data, correlated with previous literature results, clearly show that at pH 2.5 the production of carbon dioxide from C-6 and C-1 carbon atoms is nearly equivalent. Conversely, at higher pH values, CO 2 is released with a greater selectivity from the reducing end. The importance of the decarboxylation reaction in the formation of by-products with f…

Synthesis and cation-exchange properties of a bis-zwitterionic lamellar hybrid material

The synthesis of a bis-zwitterionic lamellar hybrid material containing ammonium carboxylate groups is described. Cation-exchange properties of this material towards transition metal and lanthanide ions were studied as well as the regeneration and reuse of the material.

Thermodynamic and kinetic control over the oxidation mechanism of the natural vanadyl porphyrin series (DPEP)VO in methylene chloride: electrogenerat…

2006

The electrochemical behavior of the natural (DPEP)VO series (where DPEP is the dianion deoxophylloerythroetioporphyrinate) is studied in methylene chloride. The investigated compounds, which were extracted from oil shales of Tarfaya (Morocco), exhibit a typical electrochemical behavior as compared to that of related synthetic vanadyl porphyrins. The electro-oxidation of (DPEP)VO is characterized by a splitting of the peaks when carried out at a glassy carbon electrode. This can be explained by two possible paths (CE and EC mechanisms) which are characterized by a “square diagram” where the chemical step, C, corresponds to a dimerization (radical–radical or substrate–substrate reaction). The…

ChemInform Abstract: A New Versatile Synthesis of N,N′,N′′,N′′′-Tetra(2-carboxyethyl)- and N,N′,N′′,N′′′-Tetra(3-aminopropyl)-tetraazacycloalkanes by…

2010

Abstract A smooth and convenient one step synthesis of N,N′,N″,N″′-tetra-(2-carboxyethyl)-tetraazacycloalkanes is reported. These compounds are synthesized by Michael addition of tetraazacycloalkanes to acrylic acid. The same Michael addition of tetraazacycloalkanes to an excess of acrylonitrile also leads to the corresponding tetracyanoethylated derivatives. The reduction of such tetracyanoethylated compounds is a new way of preparation for the corresponding primary amines.

New Insights into the complexation of lead(II) by 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DOTAM): structural, thermodynami…

2007

The lead(II) coordination properties of the tetrapodal ligand DOTAM [1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraaza-cyclododecane] have been investigated both in the solid state and in solution in order to ascertain the stereoactivity of the lone pair and to rationalize the structural effects of a cyclen-based scaffold on the metal uptake kinetics. The crystal structure of the free base shows that the pendant acetamide groups are not equivalent: two are folded over the macrocycle and maintained by an intramolecular hydrogen bond involving an amide hydrogen atom and a neighboring tertiary amine of the cyclen ring, while the other two are extended and point away from the macrocyclic cav…

Evidence for reverse pathways and equilibrium in singlet energy transfers between an artificial special pair and an antenna

2013

A dyad, 1, built on an artificial special pair (bis(meso-nonyl)zinc(II)porphyrin), [Zn2], a spacer (biphenylene), a bridge (1,4-benzene), and an antenna (di-meso-(3,5-di(t-butyl)phenyl)porphyrin free base), FB, is prepared by Suzuki coupling and is analyzed by absorption and steady state, and time-resolved emission spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K. Using bases from the Förster theory, evidence for two pathways for S 1 energy transfer, FB* → [Zn2], and [Zn2]* → FB, along with their respective rates, k ET ( S 1)1 and k ET ( S 1)-1, are extracted from the comparison of the fluorescence decays monitored at the emission maximum. At 77 K, the unquenched (1.79 ([Zn2]) and 10.6 ns (FB)) and quenched c…

Synthesis and crystal structures of palladium(II) complexes of 1,11-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione

2001

The two palladium(II) complexes, [PdL22222][ClO4]2·H2O 1 and [Pd(H−2L22222)]·H2O 2 with 1,11-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione, L22222, were prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and UV-visible spectroscopy. In 1 the palladium centre is co-ordinated by the tertiary amines of the macrocycle and the two pyridylmethyl nitrogens, forming a square-planar geometry in which two amide nitrogen groups remain protonated and do not take part in co-ordination. Moreover, there is a weak interaction between palladium and H(–N(8)) [d(PdII ⋯ H) = 2.90 A]. In contrast, 2 isolated under basic conditions has a square-planar geometry but the palladium ion is co-ordi…

Decoupling the artificial special pair to slow down the rate of singlet energy transfer

2012

Trimer 2, composed of a cofacial heterobismacrocycle, octamethyl-porphyrin zinc(II) and bisarylporphyrin zinc(II) held by an anthracenyl spacer, and a flanking acceptor, bisarylporphyrin free-base ( Ar = -3,5-(t Bu )2 C 6 H 3), has been studied by means of absorption spectroscopy, "steady state and time-resolved fluorescence" and fs transient absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) in order to assess the effect of decoupling the chromophores' low energy MOs on the rate of the singlet, S1, energy transfer, k ET , compared to a recently reported work on a heavily coupled trimeric system, Trimer 1, [biphenylenebis(n-nonyl)porphyrin zinc(II)]-bisarylporphyrin free-base ( A…

Synthesis of 1,3-bis(trimethylcyclam) and 1,3-bis(trimethylcyclen) substituted benzenes

2009

Pd-catalyzed amination of 1,3-dibromobenzene with N,N',N''-trimethylcyclam and N,N',N''-trimethylcyclen provided corresponding 1,3-bis(tetraazamacrocyclic) derivatives of benzene in 25-32% yields. The dependence of the products yields on the phosphine ligand applied (BINAP, DavePHOS) as well as on the stoichiometry of starting compounds was established. Scope and limitations for the synthesis of N-phenyl and N-(3-bromophenyl) derivatives of trimethylcyclam and trimethylcyclen were demonstrated.

A Study Using X-ray Absorption and Emission Spectroscopy of Dioxygen-Binding Xerogels Incorporating Cyclam Units Complexed with Copper Salts.

2005

X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to elucidate how hybrid xerogels complexed with CuCl2 could reversibly bind molecular dioxygen. Difference EXAFS analyses at the Cu K-edge suggest that dioxygen could bridge two Cu atoms in a μ-η1:η1 peroxo-like conformation with unequal Cu···O distances. Only the short distance (RCu–O1 = 1.86 ± 0.01 A) was unambiguously determined and looks typical of a CuII site. The Cu···Cu internuclear distances would be rather long: RCu–Cu ≈ 4.0 A (3.9 A) for the oxygenated (oxygen-free) xerogels. Cl K-edge EXAFS spectra revealed the pre-existence in the oxygen-free xerogels of CuI sites with short Cl–Cu bonds (2.11 ± 0.03 A). Pentacoordinate CuII sites with a lon…

Cover Picture: Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Linear and Cyclic Polyamines (Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2/2005)

2005

The cover picture shows the model structures of four compounds among the hundred of arylated linear and cyclic polyamines prepared by palladium-catalyzed coupling of mono- and dihalogenoarenes with various aliphatic or aromatic polyamines. The reaction is strongly dependent on the nature and the concentration of the catalytic system, as well as the nature of the base. The competitive reaction between primary and secondary amines and the monoamination of dihalobenzenes have also been detailed in the article by R. Guilard et al. on p. 261 ff. In the following article by the same authors on p. 281 ff, the method has been applied to the synthesis of numerous nitrogen- and oxygen-containing macr…

Synthesis of Macropolycyclic Ligands Based on Tetraazacycloalkanes

1998

A versatile synthesis of spherical macrobicyclic and cylindrical macrotricyclic ligands is described using 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen), or dioxo macrocycles as precursors. Macrobicycles have been obtained by allowing cyclam, cyclen, or 5,12-dioxocyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,12-dione) to react with a bis-electrophilic spacer under high dilution conditions. A surprising selectivity has been observed for 2,6-dioxocyclen (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-2,6-dione), which yields only macrotricycles under the same reaction conditions. Molecular modelling studies have been carried out to investigate the selectivity of the reacti…

Coordination Chemistry in the Solid: Evidence for Coordination Modes within Hybrid Materials Different from those in Solution

2002

Two routes of incorporation of europium(III) salts into cyclam-containing hybrid materials have been explored, to elucidate the coordination mode of EuIII in cyclam-containing hybrid materials in a study of the arrangement of cyclam moieties during the solgel process. They were 1) complexation of europium salts by N-tetrasubstituted 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) derivatives bearing four hydrolysable Si(OEt)3 groups, followed by hydrolysis and polycondensation of these complexes; and 2) hydrolysis and polycondensation of N-tetrasubstituted silylated cyclam derivatives, then incorporation of europium salts directly into the hybrid materials. The coordination mode of europium salt…

Corroles with Group 15 Ions. 2. Synthesis and Characterization of Octaethylcorroles Containing a Phosphorus Central Atom

2001

The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, and electrochemistry of five new phosphorus corroles are reported. The investigated complexes contain alkyl, aryl, oxo, or hydrido axial ligands and are represented as (OEC)P(H)2, (OEC)P(CH3)2, (OEC)P(C6H5)2, (OEC)P=O, and [(OEC)P(CH3)]+ClO4-, where OEC is the trianion of octaethylcorrole. The products of electrooxidation and/or electroreduction were also characterized by UV-vis and ESR spectroscopy. Correlations are shown to exist between reversible half-wave potentials for the first oxidation and first reduction of each compound and the combined electronegativity of the central ion and the axial ligand(s). The electrochemical HOMO-LUMO gap, d…

Improved routes for the synthesis of face-to-face bismacrocycles in porphyrin and corrole series

2005

Face-to-face bismacrocycles involving porphyrinoid species are still of great interest owing to their versatile properties. Despite the fact that their syntheses generally involve several steps, numerous modifications have been made in their synthetic pathways thus allowing their preparation in gram quantities. Here we report on recent improvements we could propose especially for the synthesis of bisporphyrin, biscorrole and porphyrin-corrole derivatives.

X-ray crystal structures of copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with Schiff base ligands. Reactivity towards dioxygen

2003

Copper(II) and cobalt(II) Schiff base complexes with derivatives of the pentadentate ligand bis(salicylideneimino-3-propyl)amine [H2salDPT] have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structures of the copper(II) complexes Cu[salDPT] and Cu[sal(n-propyltrimethylsilyl)DPT] were determined and revealed five-coordination at the metal centre in both cases. The 1 ∶ 1 dioxygen adduct of Co[sal(n-propyltrimethylsilyl)DPT] was also isolated and its X-ray molecular structure determined.

Electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of bismanganese biscorroles dyads

2011

Three manganese biscorrole dyads were synthesized, physicochemically characterized and investigated as to their electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous media. Each dyad contained the same two corroles linked in a face-to-face arrangement via one of the three different linking groups, 9,9-dimethylxanthene, anthracene or diphenylether, the exact nature of which determined the distance and possible interaction between the two metallomacrocycles. The initial compounds contained Mn ( III ) in their air stable form and were shown to exhibit two major redox processes, one being a Mn (III)/ Mn (IV) conversion and the other being either Mn ( III )/ Mn ( II ) or reduction at the c…

The synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and electrochemistry of (BCA)Co(2) and (BCB)Co(2) are described where BCA and BCB represent biscorroles linked by an anthracenyl (A) or a biphenylenyl (B) bridge. The pyridine and CO binding properties of (BCA)Co(2) and (BCB)Co(2) are also presented, and one of the compounds in its pyridine-ligated form, (BCA)Co(2)(py)(3), is structurally characterized. The data on the biscorroles are compared on one hand to the monocorrole having the same substitution pattern and on the other hand to bisporphyrins having two Co(II) ions and the same anthracenyl or biphenylenyl linkers in order to better understand the interaction which occurs between the two corrole…

Design and evaluation of sensory systems based on amphiphilic anthraquinones molecular receptors

2015

A new paradigm is described that allows one to create different types of sensors: from highly sensitive ones to practical household devices. Our approach relies on modular molecular receptors incorporating an intensely-colored aminoanthraquinone signaling unit equipped with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic modules, the number and size of which being configured in accordance with the targeted analyte and the sought detection method. An important advantage is the compliance with some principles of green chemistry, avoiding the use of toxic organic solvents. The proper functionalization of the anthraquinone scaffold afforded water-soluble chromoinophores capable of quantifying selectively Hg2+…

Synthesis of an anthracenyl bridged porphyrin–corrole bismacrocycle. Physicochemical and electrochemical characterisation of the biscobalt μ-superoxo…

2001

Abstract Dicobalt or heterobimetallic cofacial bisporphyrins are up till now amongst the very few molecular electrocatalysts able to promote the direct reduction of dioxygen to water via a four-electron process in acidic medium. Numerous studies have been devoted to elucidate the key steps of this catalytic reaction and an important result has revealed an unexpected high dioxygen affinity for a mixed valence Co(II)/Co(III) cofacial porphyrin, the key intermediate complex being a μ-superoxo derivative. At the same time, the great importance assumed by ‘Pacman’ porphyrins and the recent developments in corrole chemistry have provided the stimulation to synthesise porphyrin–corrole dyads which…

Bis- and trisporphyrin bio-inspired models for bacterial antennas and photosystems

2011

This review presents the synthetic aspects and photophysical properties of trimeric systems constructed with a first unit consisting of a cofacial porphyrin and then of another porphyrin attached as a side arm. Two scenarios are dealt with. The first one is the case where the three chromophores are different, called donor 1–donor 2–acceptor, specifically where the cofacial fragment is composed of donor 1 and donor 2, and the side arm is the acceptor. They are considered as models for the apo-proteins used in the LH II (light harvesting device) in the purple photosynthetic bacteria. The second one is the case where the chromophores of the cofacial bisporphyrin residue are identical and are …

Dehydrogenation versus Oxygenation in Two-Electron and Four-Electron Reduction of Dioxygen by 9-Alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridines Catalyzed by Mo…

2004

Dehydrogenation of 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH(2)) by dioxygen (O(2)) proceeds efficiently, accompanied by the two-electron and four-electron reduction of O(2) to produce H(2)O(2) and H(2)O, which are effectively catalyzed by monomeric cobalt porphyrins and cofacial dicobalt porphyrins in the presence of perchloric acid (HClO(4)) in acetonitrile (MeCN) and benzonitrile (PhCN), respectively. The cobalt porphyrin catalyzed two-electron reduction of O(2) also occurs efficiently by 9-alkyl-10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridines (AcrHR; R = Me, Et, and CH(2)COOEt) to yield 9-alkyl-10-methylacridinium ion (AcrR+) and H(2)O(2). In the case of R = Bu(t) and CMe(2)COOMe, however, the catalytic two…

Some factors affecting the removal of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution by porous hydroxyapatite: relationships between surface and adsorption prop…

2006

A porous hydroxyapatite (p-HAp) was prepared and employed for the removal of lead(II) ions at different concentrations from aqueous solution to determine the adsorption properties of p-HAp and compare them with those of a commercial hydroxyapatite (CAp) sample. The kinetic data obtained indicated that the adsorption performances of the adsorbents depended both on their specific surface area and crystallinity. Complexation of the Pb(II) ion on the adsorbent surface favoured the dissolution of hydroxyapatites characterized by a Ca/Pb molar ratio in the 0.85–1.5 range. The maximum adsorption capacity of p-Hap for Pb(II) ions at 30 ± 2°C was 2.30 mmol/g relative to 1.38 mmol/g for the commercia…

Alkyl- and aryl-substituted corroles. 4. Solvent effects on the electrochemical and spectral properties of cobalt corroles.

2003

Solvent effects on the electrochemistry and spectroscopic properties of alkyl- and aryl-substituted corroles in nonaqueous media are reported. The oxidation and reduction of six compounds containing zero to seven phenyl or substituted phenyl groups on the macrocycle were studied in four different nonaqueous solvents (CH(2)Cl(2), PhCN, THF, and pyridine) containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. Dimers were formed upon oxidation of all corroles in CH(2)Cl(2), but this was not the case in the other three solvents, where either monomers or dimers were formed upon oxidation depending upon the solvent Gutmann donor number and the number or location of aryl substituents on the macrocycl…

2005

The 14-membered cyclic diamide 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,12-dione (5,12-dioxocyclam) can be considered as a trans-autodiprotected tetraazamacrocycle and provides a convenient starting material for the preparation of macrobicyclic receptors. As an example, the secondary amine nitrogen atoms located at the 1 and 8 positions were cross-bridged with a 1,3-pyridyl strap, affording the constrained ansa-dioxocyclam ligand 1,9,12,18,22-pentaazatricyclo[7.6.6.13,7]docosa-3,5,7(22)-triene-13,19-dione (L1).

Each complex is also characterized by mass spectrometry in addition to a variety of spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, FTIR, ESR (in the case of Co(II)) and 1H and 13CNMR spectroscopy).

Electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry of heterobimetallic porphyrin-corrole dyads. Influence of the spacer, metal ion, and oxidation state on …

2005

Combined electrochemical and UV-visible spectroelectrochemical methods were utilized to elucidate the prevailing mechanisms for electroreduction of previously synthesized porphyrin-corrole dyads of the form (PCY)H2Co and (PCY)MClCoCl where M = Fe(III) or Mn(III), PC = porphyrin-corrole, and Y is a bridging group, either biphenylenyl (B), 9,9-dimethylxanthenyl (X), anthracenyl (A), or dibenzofuranyl (O). These studies were carried out in pyridine, conditions under which the cobalt(IV) corrole in (PCY)MClCoCl is immediately reduced to its Co(III) form, thus enabling direct comparisons with the free-base porphyrin dyad, (PCY)H2Co(III) under the same solution conditions. The compounds are all r…

Reaction pathways of glucose oxidation by ozone under acidic conditions.

2009

The ozonation of d-glucose-1-(13)C, 2-(13)C, and 6-(13)C was carried out at pH 2.5 in a semi-batch reactor at room temperature. The products present in the liquid phase were analyzed by GC-MS, HPAEC-PAD, and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. Common oxidation products of glucose have also been submitted to identical ozonation conditions. For the first time, a pentaric acid was identified and its formation quantitatively correlated to the loss of C-6 of glucose in the form of carbon dioxide. Potential mechanisms for the formation of this pentaric acid are discussed. The well-accepted pathway involving the anomeric position in glucose, gluconic acid, arabinose, and carbon dioxide is reinvestigated. The …

Reaction of polyamines with diethyloxalate: a convenient route for the synthesis of tetraazacycloalkanes

2006

International audience; The reactivity of various polyamines with diethyloxalate has been investigated. It appears that, in similar experimental conditions, primary diamines give predominantly [2+2] adducts while the use of secondary benzylated polyamines results in [1+1] condensation. Although the intermediate tetraamides formed in the first case are extremely poorly soluble and show very slow reactivity towards reducing agents, cyclam has been obtained by using ultrasounds during the reaction of the corresponding tetraoxomacrocycle with BH 3 /THF. The [1+1] cyclization reaction of diversely N-benzylated linear tetraamines, whose selective syntheses have been devised herein, gives access t…

Structure and mixed spin state of the chloroiron(III) complex of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, Fe(dpp)Cl

2002

Abstract The chloroiron(III) complex Fe(dpp)Cl (1) of the peripherally crowded 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaphenyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin or dodecaphenylporphyrin (dpp), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, normal-coordinate structural decomposition analysis (NSD), EPR and Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The dpp ligand present in the crystal structure of this molecule is predominantly saddle-shaped. It is also ruffled and slightly domed according to an analysis of the out-of-plane distortions performed by using NSD. This saddle deformation is significantly smaller than those observed in the chloroiron(III) complexes of the β-p…

2007

Abstract A detailed reevaluation of the complexation equilibria of plutonium(IV) with the polyaminocarboxylic sequestering agent EDTA4− has been performed in 1 M (H,K)NO3 media at 298 K by means of visible absorption spectrophotometry and glass-electrode potentiometry at millimolar concentration levels. The high binding affinity even under strongly acidic conditions supports the exclusive formation of the neutral Pu(EDTA) complex over the range 0.01 ≤ [H+] ≤ 0.9 M with an apparent formation constant of log β110 = 25.8(1) at 0.9 M HNO3. Extrapolation to zero ionic strength using the SIT approach provides the first ever-reported NEA–TDB compliant estimate of β 110 0 ( log β 110 0 = 32.2 ( 3 )…

Through space singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet energy transfers in cofacial bisporphyrins held by the carbazoyl spacer

2007

The through space singlet-singlet and triplet-triplet energy transfers in cofacial bis(etio-porphyrins) rigidly held by the carbazoyl spacer were investigated. The studies on singlet-singlet transfer, which operates via a Förster mechanism, were performed using the zinc porphyrin and free base chromophores as energy donor and acceptor, respectively, while the investigation on triplet-triplet processes was performed using the palladium porphyrin, and the zinc porphyrin and free base chromophores as donor and acceptors, respectively. The rate for singlet-singlet transfer ( k ET ( singlet )) is unexpectedly slower than that reported for other similar, rigidly held bisporphyrins such as H 2( D…

Decreased Electron Transfer Rates of Manganese Porphyrins with Conformational Distortion of the Macrocycle

1998

Slow electron transfer to manganese(iii) porphyrins results when the macrocycle deviates from planarity. This was demonstrated by measuring the kinetics of homogeneous electron transfer from a series of semiquinone radical anions to synthetic manganese porphyrins (shown schematically; R1 =H, Cl, F; R2 =H, F). Three of the four porphyrins studied have nonplanar macrocycles. These results could have implications for the role of manganese in biological electron transfer processes.

XAFS Studies of High-Valent Porphyrinato Manganèse Complexes with Ozone

1997

We produce strong evidence of the interaction of ozone with a series of Manganese (III) porphyrinato complexes to form a well defined reactive intermediate. In the latter species, the Manganese atom which is formally in a tetravalent (IV) state, is (at least) hexacoordinated with the metal unambiguously lying in the basal plane of the four pyrrolic nitrogens of the porphyrin macrocycle. Substitution of Bromine or Chlorine axial ligands by ozonids is most likely to happen. This conclusion is also supported by XANES and EXAFS spectra recorded at the Chlorine K-edge which suggest that ozone may even form with chlorine a complex anion.

1998

Abstract This paper discusses and rationalizes the metal coordination pattern of 12- and 14-membered tetraazamacrocyclic carboxylate and carbamoyl ligands based on the cyclen and cyclam framework in light of their acido–basic properties. Structural and protonation data are reviewed in order to illustrate the influence of the free ligand's protonation state and of the pH conditions during the complexation reaction on the final coordination mode of the metallic cations.

The photophysics and photochemistry of cofacial free base and metallated bisporphyrins held together by covalent architectures

2007

Abstract This review focuses on the photophysical properties of bisporphyrin systems held in a face-to-face configuration by covalent bonds via flexible or rigid spacers and metal–metal bonds. The cofacial arrangement induces intramolecular bismacrocycle interactions promoting basic photophysical events such as excitonic interactions and energy and electron transfers. These events are relevant to mimic light harvesting and reactor devices known for photosynthesis in plants, and can be monitored by luminescence and flash photolysis methods.

[(1,4,8,11-Tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,4,8,11-tetrayl)tetraacetamide-kappa6N1,N4,N8,N11,O1,O8]copper(II) sulfate 4.5-hydrate.

2002

The crystal structure of the title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C(18)H(36)N(8)O(4))]SO(4).4.5H(2)O, formed with the tetraamide cyclam derivative 2-(4,8,11-triscarbamoylmethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradec-1-yl)acetamide (TETAM), is described. The macrocycle lies on an inversion centre occupied by the hexacoordinated Cu atom. The four macrocyclic tertiary amines form the equatorial plane of an axially Jahn-Teller elongated octahedron. Two O atoms belonging to two diagonally opposite amide groups occupy the apical positions, giving rise to a trans-III stereochemistry, while both the remaining pendant side arms extend outwards from the macrocyclic cavity and are engaged in hydrogen bonds with sulf…

Preparation, characterization and photophysical properties of hybrid materials from rare earth complexes of phosphonato-substituted DOTAM derivatives

2011

Europium complexes [Eu.L]X33 (X = SO3CF3, NO3) of (diethoxyphosphorylnaphthyl)-substituted DOTAM were prepared and incorporated into titania and zirconia inorganic matrices. Zirconia revealed an appropriate matrix to achieve an efficient sensitization of emitting lanthanides.

Synthesis, physicochemical and electrochemical properties of metal–metal bonded ruthenium corrole homodimers

2002

Abstract Two diruthenium(III,III) corrole dimers, [(Et 6 Me 2 Cor)Ru] 2 and [(Me 6 Et 2 Cor)Ru] 2 , where Et 6 Me 2 Cor and Me 6 Et 2 Cor are the 2,3,8,12,17,18-hexaethyl-7,13-dimethylcorrole and 8,12-diethyl-2,3,7,13,17,18-hexamethylcorrole trianions, respectively, were synthesized and characterized as to their spectroscopic and electrochemical properties. They exhibit up to three oxidations and two reductions by cyclic voltammetry in CH 2 Cl 2 or pyridine containing 0.1 M TBAP, almost all of which are electrochemically reversible on the voltammetric and/or thin-layer spectroelectrochemical timescale. The two reductions and the first two oxidations involve one-electron transfer processes w…

Exceptional affinity of nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrid materials towards dioxygen: confinement effect of copper complexes

2007

We report the exceptional reactivity towards dioxygen of a nanostructured organic-inorganic hybrid material due to the confinement of copper cyclam within a silica matrix. The key step is the metalation reaction of the ligand, which can occur before or after xerogel formation through the sol-gel process. The incorporation of a Cu(II) center into the material after xerogel formation leads to a bridged Cu(I)/Cu(II) mixed-valence dinuclear species. This complex exhibits a very high affinity towards dioxygen, attributable to auto-organization of the active species in the solid. The remarkable properties of these copper complexes in the silica matrix demonstrate a high cooperative effect for O(2…

Mechanism of four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water by ferrocene derivatives in the presence of perchloric acid in benzonitrile, catalyzed by c…

2004

The selective two-electron reduction of dioxygen occurs in the case of a monocobalt porphyrin [Co(OEP)], whereas the selective four-electron reduction of dioxygen occurs in the case of a cofacial dicobalt porphyrin [Co(2)(DPX)]. The other cofacial dicobalt porphyrins [Co(2)(DPA), Co(2)(DPB), and Co(2)(DPD)] also catalyze the two-electron reduction of dioxygen, but the four-electron reduction is not as efficient as in the case of Co(2)(DPX). The micro-superoxo species of cofacial dicobalt porphyrins were produced by the reactions of cofacial dicobalt(II) porphyrins with dioxygen in the presence of a bulky base and the subsequent one-electron oxidation of the resulting micro-peroxo species by…

Dihydrogen complexes of metalloporphyrins: characterization and catalytic hydrogen oxidation activity

1992

A series of monometallic dihydrogen complexes of the type M(OEP)(L)(H{sub 2}) (M = Ru, Os; L = THF, *Im) was synthesized and characterized by {sup 1}H NMR. The H-H bond length was found to increase when Os was replaced by Ru or when *Im was replaced by THF. The bond distances (as determined by T{sub 1}) range from 0.92 to 1.18 {angstrom}. The first example of a bimetallic bridging dihydrogen complex, Ru{sub 2}(DPB)(*IM){sub 2}(H{sub 2}), was also prepared. The H{sub 2} ligand is simultaneously bound to both Ru-metal centers. High-field {sup 1}H NMR experiments (620 MHz) revealed a -7.37 Hz dipolar splitting of the H{sub 2} ligand for this complex. Analysis of this splitting suggests that th…

Ordered mesoporous hybrid materials containing cobalt(ii) Schiff base complex

2002

Immobilisation of Co-salen and Co-fluomine onto ordered mesoporous silica has been achieved through coordination of the cobalt to pyridine or imidazole groups covalently attached to the silica matrix. Two routes have been investigated to obtain mesoporous hybrid materials containing coordinating ligands: post synthesis grafting of 4-[2-(trimethoxysilyl)ethyl]pyridine 1 and N-trimethoxysilylpropylimidazole 2 on hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica via SiOH groups or direct synthesis method i.e. co-hydrolysis and polycondensation of the same functionalised organotrimethoxysilane with a number of equivalents of TEOS in the presence of n-hexadecylamine as structure directing agent. The first m…

Solvent, anion and structural effects on the redox potentials and UV-visible spectral properties of mononuclear manganese corroles

2008

A series of manganese(III) corroles were investigated as to their electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous solvents. Up to three oxidations and one reduction were obtained for each complex depending on the solvents. The main compound discussed in this paper is the meso-substituted manganese corrole, (Mes 2PhCor)Mn, and the main points are how changes in axially coordinated anion and solvent will affect the redox potentials and UV-vis spectra of each electrogenerated species in oxidation states of Mn(III), Mn(IV), or Mn(II). The anions OAc (-), Cl (-), CN (-), and SCN (-) were found to form five-coordinate complexes with the neutral Mn(III) corrole while two OH (-) or F (-)…

New Synthesis oftrans-Disubstituted Cyclam Macrocycles – Elucidation of the Disubstitution Mechanism on the Basis of X-ray Data and Molecular Modeling

1998

A new way to synthesize trans-disubstituted cyclam tetraazamacrocycles 1 is reported. The synthesis proceeds in three steps via the tricyclic 1,4,8,11-tetraazatricyclo[9.3.1.14,8]hexadecane system 2, which can be selectively dialkylated and hydrolyzed under basic conditions to give the final product 1. An understanding of the reactivity, based on the X-ray experimental electrostatic potential and molecular modeling of the 1,4,8,11-tetraazatricyclo[9.3.1.14,8]hexadecane macrotricycle, has permitted the elucidation of a new reaction pathway leading to the trans-disubstituted cyclam.

Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Sol-Gel Materials Incorporating Functionalized Cobalt(III) Corroles for the Selective Detection of CO

2005

Selective CO2 adsorption by a triazacyclononane-bridged microporous metal-organic framework.

2011

Metal-organic frameworks constructed by self-assembly of metal ions and organic linkers have recently been of great interest in the preparation of porous hybrid materials with a wide variety of functions. Despite much research in this area and the large choice of building blocks used to fine-tune pore size and structure, it remains a challenge to synthesise frameworks composed of polyamines to tailor the porosity and adsorption properties for CO(2). Herein, we describe a rigid and microporous three-dimensional metal-organic framework with the formula [Zn(2)(L)(H(2)O)]Cl (L=1,4,7-tris(4-carboxybenzyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) synthesised in a one-pot solvothermal reaction between zinc ions a…

Separation and identification of petroporphyrins extracted from the oil shales of Tarfaya: geochemical study

2002

Abstract Vanadyl and nickel porphyrins were isolated from the oil shales of Tarfaya (Morocco) by extraction followed by column chromatography. The ratios and characteristics of these porphyrin complexes were essentially obtained on the basis of UV–visible and mass spectrometry data. Geochemical information could be drawn from these data. The nature and the contents of the metals coordinated and non-coordinated to porphyrin systems were also determined in this study.

Synthesis and characterization of a 1,8-difunctionalized dissymmetrical cyclam copper(II) complex bearing pyridylmethyl and N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmeth…

2001

The new dissymmetrical ligand 1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl)-8-(2-pyridylmethyl)-4,11-dimethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane, 5, was synthesized and the physicochemical properties of its copper(II) complex, [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN, were determined. UV–Vis, IR, ESR experiments, and X-ray analysis of [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN were carried out. The X-ray structure of [CuII(5)](ClO4)2·CH3CN revealed a distorted square pyramid with the four coordinating nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle lying in the basal position. Curiously, the fifth ligand is the N,N-dimethylcarbamoylmethyl group through the oxygen atom and not the pyridylmethyl moiety.

A New Versatile Synthesis of N,N′,N″,N″′-Tetra-(2-carboxyethyl)-and N,N′,N″,N″′-Tetra-(3-aminopropyl)-tetraazacycloalkanes by Michael Addition of Pol…

1996

Abstract A smooth and convenient one step synthesis of N,N′,N″,N″′-tetra-(2-carboxyethyl)-tetraazacycloalkanes is reported. These compounds are synthesized by Michael addition of tetraazacycloalkanes to acrylic acid. The same Michael addition of tetraazacycloalkanes to an excess of acrylonitrile also leads to the corresponding tetracyanoethylated derivatives. The reduction of such tetracyanoethylated compounds is a new way of preparation for the corresponding primary amines.

High affinity of "arbor" iron porphyrins for dioxygen

International audience; The equilibrium rates of dioxygen and carbon monoxide binding have been measured for a series of capped iron porphyrins called "arbor". The affinity for dioxygen of these models is 100-fold higher than the highest previously reported values.

Effect of axially bound anions on the electroreduction of tin(IV) porphyrins in tetrahydrofuran

1989

The spectroscopic characterization and electrochemistry of SnL(X)2 is presented where L is the dianion of tetra-p-tolylporphyrin or tetra-m-tolylporphyrin and X is ClO4–, Br–, Cl–, F–, or OH–. In all cases, electroreduction leads to porphyrin π anion radicals and dianions which were characterized in tetrahydrofuran by spectroelectrochemistry and e.s.r. spectroscopy. Dissociation of one ClO4– ion from SnL(ClO4)2 occurs before electroreduction of the complex but no dissociation is observed either before or after electroreduction of SnL(F)2 or SnL(OH)2. In contrast, one Br– ion dissociates after the first electron addition to SnL(Br)2 while one Cl– ion dissociates from SnL(Cl)2 after the secon…

Alkyl and aryl substituted corroles. 3. Reactions of cofacial cobalt biscorroles and porphyrin-corroles with pyridine and carbon monoxide.

2002

The synthesis and characterization of three new cofacial biscorroles and three new linked Co(II) porphyrins and Co(III) corroles with the same face to face orientation are described. The biscorroles are represented as (BCS)Co(2), (BCO)Co(2), (BCX)Co(2) while the porphyrin-corrole dyads are represented as (PCA)Co(2), (PCB)Co(2), (PCO)Co(2) where BC represents the Co(III) cofacial biscorroles and PC represents the porphyrin-corrole complexes which are linked to each other by a dibenzothiophene (S), dibenzofuran (O), or 9,9-dimethylxanthene (X) bridge in the case of the corroles and an anthracene (A), biphenylene (B), or dibenzofuran (O) bridge in the case of the mixed macrocycle derivatives. …

A two-step synthesis of new macrobicyclic aza-ligands starting from “trans”dioxocyclam as diprotected macrocycle

1997

Abstract A rapid and convenient synthesis of two small aza-cryptands containing a 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane backbone is reported. This strategy can be applied to the preparation of many other aza-cages by varying the nature of the cross linker. Moreover, the two remaining secondary amine sites may allow the functionalization of these ligands or their grafting on a polymer.

Energy transfers in monomers, dimers, and trimers of zinc(II) and palladium(II) porphyrins bridged by rigid Pt-containing conjugated organometallic s…

2009

A series of linear monomers (spacer-M(P)), dimers (M(P)-spacer-M'(P)), and trimers (M(P)-spacer-M'(P)-spacer-M(P)) of spacer/metalloporphyrin systems (M' = Zn, M = Zn, Pd, P = porphyrin, and spacer = trans-C(6)H(4)C[triple bond]CPtL(2)C[triple bond]CC(6)H(4)- (L = PEt(3))) including mixed metalloporphyrin compounds, were synthesized and characterized. The S(1) and T(1) energy transfers Pd(P)*--Zn(P) occur with rates of approximately 2 x 10(9) s(-1), S(1), and 0.15 x 10(3) (slow component) and 4.3 x 10(3) s(-1) (fast component), T(1). On the basis of a literature comparison with a related dyad, the Pt atom in the conjugated chain slows down the transfers. The excitation in the absorption ban…

En route toward the development of hybrid organic−inorganic extracting materials incorporating lead-selective chelators and their implementation in water purification processes, the lead(II) binding properties of three N-carbamoylmethyl-substituted 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecanes (cyclams) have been fully investigated by spectroscopic (IR, UV−vis, MALDI-TOF MS, 1H and 13C NMR), X-ray crystallographic, potentiometric, and kinetic methods. Solution NMR studies revealed that the Pb2+ ion is entrapped in a molecular cage constituted by the four macrocyclic nitrogen and four amidic oxygen atoms. Protonation and lead binding constants determined in aqueous solution were shown to be linearly de…

Structure of Dioxygen Binding Xerogels Incorporating Cyclams Complexed with CuCl2 Salts

2005

X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopies were combined in order to elucidate how hybrid xerogels complexed with CuCl2 could bind reversibly O2. Difference EXAFS analyses at the Cu K-edge revealed the existence of binuclear structures with long Cu...Cu distances, i.e. RCu–Cu ≈ 3.98 A and 3.87 A for the oxygenated and oxygen-free xerogels. In oxygenated xerogels, dioxygen would bridge two Cu atoms in a μ-η1 : η1 peroxo-like conformation. The Cu-O signal found at short distance (RCu−O1 = 1.85 ± 0.01 A) is fully consistent with 40% of O2 molecules being chemisorbed per Cu site. In oxygen-free xerogels, Cl K-edge EXAFS revealed the presence of CuI sites with short Cl-Cu bond lengths (RCl−Cu = 2.…

Abstract New bicyclic cryptand type compounds are synthesized by reacting 1,7-di(3-bromobenzyl)cyclen with 1 equiv of linear polyamines under dilute conditions using Pd-catalyzed amination. Bis(cyclen) and tris(cyclen) compounds containing linear polyamine linkers between benzylated cyclens are obtained by a similar procedure using different reaction conditions. Cyclization of these species via intramolecular catalytic diamination led to tri- and tetracyclic polyaza compounds.

Palladium-catalyzed amination of aryl dibromides with secondary amines: synthetic and mechanistic aspects

1999

Abstract Diaminobenzenes are obtained starting from m- and p-dibromobenzenes and secondary amines in the presence of Pd(dba)2/P(o-tolyl)3and sodium tert-butoxide in moderate to good yields. Reductive dehalogenation of aryl dibromides is a major side reaction under these conditions. The study of this reaction has shown that the formation of reductive dehalogenation products occurs according to two independent ways. The first one proceeds via the well-known β-hydride elimination from amido-coordinated palladium complexes. The second one involves the formation of hydrido palladium complexes from amino-coordinated derivatives. Although our results do not allow us to propose a detailed mechanist…

This convenient four-step method can be used for the synthesis of various trans N,N′-difunctionalized tetraazamacrocycles bearing two different pendant donor arms.

Design of Triads for Probing the Direct Through Space Energy Transfers in Closely Spaced Assemblies

2013

Using a selective stepwise Suzuki cross-coupling reaction, two trimers built on three different chromophores were prepared. These trimers exhibit a D(^)A1-A2 structure where the donor D (octa-β-alkyl zinc(II)porphyrin either as diethylhexamethyl, 10a, or tetraethyltetramethyl, 10b, derivatives) through space transfers the S1 energy to two different acceptors, di(4-ethylbenzene) zinc(II)porphyrin (A1; acceptor 1) placed cofacial with D, and the corresponding free base (A2; acceptor 2), which is meso-meso-linked with A1. This structure design allows for the possibility of comparing two series of assemblies, 9a,b (D(^)A1) with 10a,b (D(^)Â1-A2), for the evaluation of the S1 energy transfer for…

The difluorogermanium(IV) porphyrins [GeF2(P)][P = 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrinate(2–)(oep), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinate(2–)(tpp), or 5,10,15,20-tetra-p-tolylporphyrinate(2–)(tptp)] have been prepared by reacting hydrogen fluoride with the appropriate dichloro derivative [GeCl2(P)]. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H n.m.r., i.r., and u.v.–visible spectroscopy. The electrochemical behaviour was investigated in non-aqueous media while spectroelectrochemistry and e.s.r. were used to characterize the oxidized and reduced complexes. Each complex could be reversibly oxidized or reduced by one electron. In each case these electron additions or abstractions…

Palladium-Catalyzed Arylation of Linear and Cyclic Polyamines.

2005

Synthetic protocols for the palladium-catalyzed arylation of various linear and cyclic polyamines and polyoxapolyamines has been worked out. Pd(0) and Pd(II) complexes with such phosphine ligands as dppf, BINAP, PPF-OMe, P(tBu) 3 , 2-ditert-butylphosphino- 1,1'-biphenyl have been explored in the catalytic amination reactions. Monoamination of chloro-, bromo-, and iodoarenes with di-, tri-, and tetraamines have been carried out, condi- tions for di- and polyarylation of linear polyamines have been elaborated. Successful aryla- tion of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclene) and 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cy- clam) have been conducted. Intramolecular diamination of dihaloarenes such …

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of aryl-substituted polyamine compounds from aryl halides

1997

The reaction of polyamines having primary amino groups and 1,2-diaminoethane and/or 1,3-diaminopropane fragments with aryl bromides or iodides in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide and (dppf)PdCl2 (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) proceeds selectively leading to monoaryl-substituted derivatives of polyamine. This reaction provides a convenient method of arylation of di-, tri- and tetraamine compounds. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 1,3-diaminopropane and 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine with more reactive 1-bromonaphthalene can be used for the preparation of sym-dinaphthyl derivatives of these amines.

Efficient synthesis of new C-functionalized macrocyclic polyamines

A powerful synthetic route for the preparation of new poly-azamacrocycles, valuable precursors of bifunctional chelating agents with applications in nuclear medicine, is reported. The desired functional group was introduced onto the macro-cycle backbone during the cyclization step, thus avoiding the tedious preparation of a C-functionalized synthon. The regioselective reaction of macrocycles bearing an aminomethyl pendant arm with aldehydes is also described.

Electrochemistry and Spectroelectrochemistry of Bismanganese Porphyrin-Corrole Dyads

2011

A series of homobimetallic manganese cofacial porphyrin-corrole dyads were synthesized and investigated as to their electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and ligand binding properties in nonaqueous media. Four dyads were investigated, each of which contained a Mn(III) corrole linked in a face-to-face arrangement with a Mn(III) porphyrin. The main difference between compounds in the series is the type of spacer, 9,9-dimethylxanthene, anthracene, dibenzofuran, or diphenylether, which determines the distance and interaction between the metallomacrocycles. Each redox process of the porphyrin-corrole dyads was assigned on the basis of spectroscopic and electrochemical data and by comparison…

Comments on the through space singlet energy transfers and energy migration (exciton) in the light harvesting systems

2008

Recent findings on the photophysical investigations of several cofacial bisporphyrin dyads for through space singlet and triplet energy transfers raised several serious questions about the mechanism of the energy transfers and energy migration in the light harvesting devices, notably LH II, in the heavily studied purple photosynthetic bacteria. The key issue is that for simple cofacial or slipped dyads with controlled geometry using rigid spacers or spacers with limited flexibilities, the fastest possible rates for singlet energy transfer for three examples are in the 10 x 10(9)s(-1) (i.e. just in the 100 ps time scale) for donor-acceptor distances approaching 3.5-3.6 A. The reported time s…

X-Ray Detected Magnetic Resonance: A Unique Probe of the Precession Dynamics of Orbital Magnetization Components

2011

X-ray Detected Magnetic Resonance (XDMR) is a novel spectroscopy in which X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) is used to probe the resonant precession of local magnetization components in a strong microwave pump field. We review the conceptual bases of XDMR and recast them in the general framework of the linear and nonlinear theories of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Emphasis is laid on the information content of XDMR spectra which offer a unique opportunity to disentangle the precession dynamics of spin and orbital magnetization components at given absorbing sites. For the sake of illustration, we focus on selected examples in which marked differences were found between FMR and XDMR s…

Synthesis of porphyrin-bis(polyazamacrocycle) triads via Suzuki coupling reaction

2014

Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction has been used for the synthesis of tricyclic architectures based on trans-A2B2-porphyrins and bisaminal-protected polyazamacrocycles which are linked directly or by a p-phenylene spacer. This modular approach allowed the synthesis of ligands with various substituted porphyrin macrocycles and bisaminal-protected tetraazamacrocycles possessing different cavity sizes. These molecules can be assembled into dimers using a DABCO linker. Deprotection of these compounds afforded porphyrin-bis(polyazamacrocycle) triads.

Photoinduced electron transfer in supramolecular complexes of a π-extended viologen with porphyrin monomer and dimer

2012

A π-extended viologen has been synthesized, forming supramolecular complexes with a freebase tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) and the cofacial porphyrin dimer with an anthracene spacer [H4(DPA)] through π–π interaction in benzonitrile (PhCN). Formation of the H2TPP-BHV2+ supramolecular complex was probed by UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. The fluorescence of H2TPP was strongly quenched by electron transfer from the singlet excited state (1H2TPP*) to BHV2+ in the supramolecular complex. The transient absorption spectrum of the charge-separated (CS) state (H2TPP•+ and BHV•+) was successfully detected by the laser flash photolysis measurements of the H2TPP-BHV2+ supramolecular complex in PhCN. Th…

Insights into the Synthesis and the Solution Behavior ofmeso-Aryloxy- and Alkoxy-Substituted Porphyrins

2015

meso-RO-appended (R = alkyl, aryl) porphyrins bearing one or two OR substituents at the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle were synthesized in good yields from 5,15-dibromo-10,20-diphenylporphyrins 2H(Br2DPP), Ni(Br2DPP) and Zn(Br2DPP) using an SNAr reaction. By varying the solvent, the base, the temperature, and the time of the reaction, the optimum conditions were established, and the selective introduction of one or two meso-RO substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle was achieved. Moreover, monofunctionalization of Ni(Br2DPP) according to an SNAr reaction was used as a key step for the synthesis of rarely explored unsymmetrical porphyrinyl alkyl ethers. 1H NMR studies of these ethers in CD…

Pd-catalyzed amination in the synthesis of cyclen-based macrotricycles

2012

Abstract Three approaches to three types of cyclen-based macrotricycles have been elaborated starting from trans-bis(3-bromobenzyl)cyclen. The macrotricycles were synthesized via Pd-catalyzed amination. The first approach employed consecutive macrocyclization and benzylation steps giving a cage-like tricycle. In the second, cyclen amino groups were Boc-protected prior to formation of the second and the third rings. In the third method, macrotricycles were synthesized according to a one-step procedure using diazacrown ethers.

Synthesis and Physicochemical Characterization ofmeso-Functionalized Corroles: Precursors of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials

2005

Cobalt(III) corroles exhibit an infinite selectivity for the coordination of carbon monoxide towards dioxygen and dinitrogen. This peculiar property thus allows their use as sensing devices for CO detection. Here are described the syntheses and physico-chemical characterization of meso mono-, bis- and tris(triethoxysilyl)-functionalized corroles, precursors of organic–inorganic materials. The corrole ring formation was achieved in every case using the “2+1” method involving the reaction of two equivalents of an encumbered dipyrromethane with one equivalent of an aromatic aldehyde in the presence of a catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid. The functionalization of the corrole by triethoxy…

Exploiting Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling for the Synthesis of 2-Aryl-Substituted 1-Aminocyclopropylphosphonates

2015

A series of 2-aryl-substituted 1-aminocyclopropylphosphonates containing an additional remote phosphonate group have been synthesized starting from readily accessible dimethyl (1 R *,2 R *)-2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-formamidocyclopropylphosphonate using cross-coupling methodology. Different types of palladium-catalyzed reactions for carbon–carbon and carbon–phosphorus bond formation were realized. In each case the optimum conditions were found to obtain the desired products in high yield in both small- and large-scale experiments.

A metal-responsive interdigitated bilayer for selective quantification of mercury( ii ) traces by surface plasmon resonance

Reusable surface plasmon resonance chips allowing the quantitative and selective detection of mercury(II) ions in water at the 0.01 nM level are reported. The surface-modified gold sensor consists of a rarefied self-assembled monolayer of octanethiol topped with a Langmuir–Blodgett monolayer of an amphiphilic and highly-specific chelator. The interdigitated architecture confers to the bilayer a high packing density, surface coverage, and binding-group accessibility.

Synthesis and Self-Organization of Zinc β-(Dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins in the Solid State and in Solution

2012

The first synthesis and self-organization of zinc β-phosphorylporphyrins in the solid state and in solution are reported. β-Dialkoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins and their Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized in good yields by using Pd- and Cu-mediated carbon-phosphorous bond-forming reactions. The Cu-mediated reaction allowed to prepare the mono-β-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins 1 Zn-3 Zn starting from the β-bromo-substituted zinc porphyrinate ZnTPPBr (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) and dialkyl phosphites HP(O)(OR)(2) (R = Et, iPr, nBu).

Catalytic activity of biscobalt porphyrin-corrole dyads toward the reduction of dioxygen

2009

A series of biscobalt cofacial porphyrin-corrole dyads bearing mesityl substituents at the meso positions of the corrole ring were investigated as to their electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and CO binding properties in nonaqueous media and then applied to the surface of a graphite electrode and tested as electrocatalysts for the reduction of dioxygen to water or hydrogen peroxide in air-saturated aqueous solutions containing 1 M HClO(4). The catalytic reduction of O(2) with the same dyads was also investigated in the homogeneous phase using 1,1'-dimethylferrocene as a reductant in PhCN containing HClO(4). The examined compounds are represented as (PMes(2)CY)Co(2), where P = a porph…

Synthesis of large-pore ordered mesoporous silicas containing aminopropyl groups

2005

Ordered mesoporous silicas with large-pore diameters incorporating aminopropyl groups in variable quantity have been synthesized via the co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-tert-butyloxycarbonylaminopropyltriethoxysilane templated with nonionic surfactant P123 under acidic conditions. The deprotection of amino groups was then quantitatively achieved either by thermal treatment or acid hydrolysis followed by Et3N treatment, both routes leading to exactly the same materials. We showed that the free amino centers are fully accessible, by using the condensation of the amine function with benzaldehyde.

Luminescence properties of a cofacial dipalladium porphyrin dimer under argon and in the presence of dioxygen

2001

The preparation and luminescence properties of a dipalladium cofacial porphyrin dimer (DPA) Pd 2 (where DPA is the tetraanion of 1,8-bis(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrin-5-yl)anthracene) are reported and compared together with the photophysical behavior of the known monomeric (OEP)Pd and (TPP)Pd complexes. The effect of dioxygen in the presence and in the absence of the very bulky base, 1-t-butyl-5-phenylimidazole, is also investigated. The title dimer, (DPA) Pd 2, shows fluorescence and phosphorescence in the ps and ms time scale, respectively, with a global intensity lower than that of the porphyrin monomer analogues.

Selective Lanthanides Sequestration Based on a Self-Assembled Organosilica

2010

International audience; In this paper, we investigate the cation-exchange properties of a self-assembled hybrid material towards trivalent ions, lanthanides (La3+,Eu3+, Gd3+,Yb3+) and Fe3+. The bis-zwitter- ionic lamellar material was prepared by sol-gel process from only 3-amino- propyltriethoxysilane (APTES), succin- ic anhydride, and ethylenediamine. In ethanol heated under reflux, the ex- change ethylenediammonium versus Ln3+ proved to be complete by com- plexometry measurements and elemen- tal analyses, one Cl ion per one LnIII remaining as expected for charge bal- ance. In aqueous solution at 20 8C, the material was found to be selective to- wards lanthanide in spite of the similar- i…

Each complex could be reversibly oxidized or reduced by one electron. In each case these electron additions or abstractions…

Self-organization of porphyrin units induced by magnetic field during sol-gel polymerization

2007

The use of a magnetic field as a controlling factor during the hydrolysis-polycondensation of porphyrin precursors substituted by Si(OR)(3) groups, induces a self-organization of porphyrin moieties due to the stacking of these units in the hybrid material and this study also confirms the effect of the magnetic field in the nano- and micrometric organization during the kinetically controlled polycondensation process.

Metal Dependence on the Bidirectionality and Reversibility of the Singlet Energy Transfer in Artificial Special Pair-Containing Dyads

2017

International audience; The demetalation of a precursor dyad, 3, built upon a zinc(II)-containing artificial special pair and free-base antenna, leads to a new dyad, 4, for singlet energy transfer composed of cofacial free-base porphyrins (acceptor), [Fb](2) bridged by a 1,4-C6H4 group to a free-base antenna (donor), [Fb]. This dyad exhibits the general structure [M](2)-C6H4-[Fb], where [M](2) = [Fh](2), and completes a series reported earlier, where [M](2) = [Mg](2) (2) and [Zn](2) (3). The latter dyads exhibit a bidirectional energy-transfer process at 298 K for 2 and at 77 K for 3. Interestingly, a very scarce case of cycling process is observed for the zinc-containing dyad at 298 K. The…

2005

A very efficient, simple synthesis of face-to-face porphyrin–corrole free-bases bearing substituents at the meso positions of the corrole ring is reported. Starting from the (porphyrin–aldehyde)zinc species 1Zn, porphyrin–corrole free-bases (3M, 3C) are obtained in two steps, in fairly good yields (40–43 %), compared to 11 steps for their corrole β-pyrrole-substituted counterparts. Moreover, the possibility to directly synthesize the free-base (porphyrin–corrole)cobalt complex (5M or 5C) allows for the further preparation of heterodimetallic derivatives. Crystals of the bis(pyridine) adduct of 5M have been grown; the molecular structure clearly shows that the two pyridine molecules are coor…

Copper( ii ) complexes with phosphorylated 1,10-phenanthrolines: from molecules to infinite supramolecular arrays

2016

International audience; The reaction of phosphorylated 1,10-phenanthrolines 3-Pphen, 3,8-Pphen and 4,7-Pphen (3-Pphen = 3-diethoxyphosphorylphenanthroline, 3,8-Pphen = 3,8-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl) phenanthroline, 4,7-Pphen = 4,7-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl) phenanthroline) and hydrated copper(II) nitrate in a 1 : 1 ratio leads to the formation of supramolecular architectures. In the 1D coordination polymer [Cu(3-Pphen)(NO3)(2)](n) (2) the copper atom is coordinated to only one phenanthroline ligand and the coordination sphere is completed by two oxygen atoms of nitrate anions and the oxygen atom of the phosphoryl group from the neighbouring phenanthroline ligand.

Unusual Formation of a Stable 2D Copper Porphyrin Network

2013

Copper(II) 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin was obtained and characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Three crystalline forms were grown and studied by means of X-ray diffraction methods (single crystal and powder). The highly electron-withdrawing effect of phosphoryl groups attached directly to the porphyrin macrocycle results in a self-assembling process, with formation of a stable 2D coordination network, which is unusual for copper(II) porphyrins. The resulting 2D structure is a rare example of an assembly based on copper(II) porphyrins where the copper(II) central metal io…

Palladium-Catalysed Amination of 1,8- and 1,5-Dichloroanthracenes and 1,8- and 1,5-Dichloroanthraquinones

2005

Diamino derivatives of anthracene and anthraquinone have been synthesised by palladium-catalysed coupling of 1,8-dichloroanthracene and 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone with a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic primary and secondary amines. The use of polyamines gave rise to a large number of new nitrogen- and oxygen-containing macrocycles incorporating anthracene or anthraquinone moieties. The method has also been employed for the preparation of bismacrocycles in which two cyclam or azacrown units are linked together by an anthracene bridge through C(sp2)−N bonds.

An unprecedented, bridged dihydrogen complex of a cofacial metallodiporphyrin and its relevance to the bimolecular reductive elimination of hydrogen

1990

Recently, the authors characterized the first metalloporphyrin dihydrogen complex, Os(OEP)(H{sub 2}), and proposed that a similar ruthenium porphyrin dihydrogen complex, Ru(OEP)(H{sub 2}), is involved as an intermediate in the catalytic H/D isotopic exchange between water and hydrogen. They now report that treatment of a metal-metal-bonded cofacial ruthenium porphyrin dimer with a sterically bulky ligand in the presence of hydrogen gas has yielded the first known complex containing a dihydrogen ligand bound between two metals. Such a bridged dihydrogen complex is proposed as an intermediate in the bimolecular elimination of dihydrogen from two metalloporphyrin hydrides.

The electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of two β-phosphorylated Zn porphyrins, [2-diethoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]zinc (1) and [2-diisopropoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato]zinc (2), are reported in CH 2 Cl 2 and PhCN containing tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) or tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) as supporting electrolyte. Under certain solution conditions, three one-electron reductions are observed, with the last process being attributed to the product of a chemical reaction following formation of the porphyrin dianion. Two or three oxidations are observed for the same compounds, again depending upon the solution c…

The 5/2,3/2 Spin Admixture in the Chloroiron(III) Derivative of the Sterically Crowded 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin

1999

Despite similar ring deformations in solution and in the solid state, the chloroiron(III) derivative of 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin ([FeCl(oetpp)], shown schematically) prepared in this study exhibits only a very weak quantum-mechanical admixture of spin S=3/2 (only 4-10 %) with spin S=5/2. In contrast, for the variety of [FeCl(oetpp)] studied earlier by other researchers a 40 % contribution of the S=3/2 state was found.

Synthesis and Electrochemical Reactivity of sigma-Bonded and N-Substituted Cobalt Porphycenes.

1998

The first synthesis and characterization of sigma-bonded and N-substituted cobalt porphycenes is reported. The investigated compounds are represented as (Pc)Co(R) and (N-CH(3)OEPc)CoCl, where R is CH(3) or C(6)H(5), Pc is the dianion of 2,3,6,7,12,13,16,17-octaethylporphycene (OEPc), 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene (TPrPc), or 2,7,12,17-tetraethyl-3,6,13,16-tetramethylporphycene (EtioPc), N-CH(3)OEPc is the monoanion of N-methyl-2,3,6,7,12,13,16,17-octaethylporphycene. Each sigma-bonded (Pc)Co(R) derivative can be reversibly reduced or oxidized by two electrons, but a slow migration of the sigma-bonded R group occurs following electrogeneration of [(Pc)Co(R)](+)()(*)() leading, as a final p…

Reduzierte Geschwindigkeit des Elektronentransfers bei Mangan-Porphy- rinen mit verzerrter Konformation des Makrocyclus

1999

Ein langsamer Elektronentransfer auf Mangan(III)-Porphyrine ist die Folge, wenn der Porphyrinmakrocyclus nicht planar ist. Dies konnte anhand kinetischer Messungen des homogenen Elektronentransfers von einer Reihe von Semichinon-Radikalanionen auf synthetische Manganporphyrine (siehe Formel, R1 = H, Cl, F; R2 = H, F) gezeigt werden. In drei der vier untersuchten Porphyrine ist der Makrocyclus nicht planar. Dieses Ergebnis konnte fur das Verstandnis der Rolle von Mangan in biologischen Elektronentransferprozessen wichtig sein.

Triplet-triplet energy transfer controlled by the donor-acceptor distance in rigidly held palladium-containing cofacial bisporphyrins.

2005

Eleven new complexes, including mono-, heterobi-, and homobimetallic cofacial bisporphyrins, (Pd)H 2 DPS, (M)H 2 DPX, (M)H 2 DPB, (PdZn)DPS, (PdZn)DPX, (Pt) 2 DPX, (M) 2 DPB (M=Pd, Pt), and (Pt)P (DPS 4 - = 4,6-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]dibenzothiophene tetraanion, DPX 4 - = 4,5-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]-9,9-dimethylxanthene tetraanion, DPB 4 - =1,8-bis[5-(2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrinyl)]biphenylene tetraanion, P 2 - = 5-phenyl-2,8,13,17-tetraethyl-3,7,12,18-tetramethylporphyrin dianion) have been synthesized and characterized. The photophysical properties of the donor (M)P (M=Pd or Pt, P= porphy…

Persistent electron-transfer state of a pi-complex of acridinium ion inserted between porphyrin rings of cofacial bisporphyrins

2006

A free-base cofacial bisporphyrin, H(4)DPOx, forms a pi-complex with acridinium ion (AcH(+)) by pi-pi interaction in benzonitrile (PhCN). Formation of the H(4)DPOx-AcH(+) pi-complex was probed by UV-vis and NMR spectroscopy. The binding constant between AcH(+) and H(4)DPOx is determined as 9.7 x 10(4) M(-)(1). Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) from the H(4)DPOx to the AcH(+) moiety occurred efficiently in the pi-complex to form the ET state (H(4)DPOx(*)(+)-AcH(*)). The ET state is successfully detected by laser flash photolysis. The lifetime of the ET state is 18 mus in PhCN at 298 K, and the quantum yield of the ET state is 90%. The temperature dependence of the ET state lifetime has bee…

Strong donor–acceptor couplings in a special pair-antenna model

2010

A special pair model composed of two cofacial zinc porphyrins (acceptor) linked to a free base (donor) acts as an energy transfer dyad. Despite the absence of conjugation, ππ*/charge transfer excited states and ultrafast energy transfer (∼5 ps) are noted.

Selective chemisorption of carbon monoxide by organic-inorganic hybrid materials incorporating cobalt(III) corroles as sensing components.

2007

Twenty-one hybrid materials incorporating cobalt(III) corrole complexes were synthesized by a sol–gel process or by grafting the metallocorrole onto a mesostructured silica of the SBA-15 type. All the materials show an almost infinite selectivity for carbon monoxide with respect to dinitrogen and dioxygen in the low-pressure domain where the chemisorption phenomenon is predominant. This peculiar property is of prime importance for an application as a CO sensor. The selectivity slightly decreases at high pressures where nonselective physisorption phenomena mainly occur. The percentage of active sites for CO chemisorption ranges from 22 to 64 %. This low percentage may be attributable to inte…

2002

Abstract The phenyliron derivative, [Fe(oetpp)C6H5)]SbCl6 (2) generated in dichloromethane by oxidation of the phenyliron(III) complex, Fe(III) (oetpp)C6H5 (1) of the 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin with 1 equiv. of phenoxathiinylium hexachloroantimonate, [C12H8OS]SbCl6, was studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy. This compound exhibits an isomer shift δ of 0.13 mm s−1 and a quadrupole splitting ΔEQ of 3.23 mm s−1. The measured magnetic hyperfine pattern obtained in the temperature range 4.2–40 K in a field of 3.5 and 7 T, applied perpendicular to the γ-beam, has been consistently analyzed in the spin Hamiltonian approximation assuming an iron(IV) S=1 electronic con…

Through space singlet energy transfers in the light harvesting systems and cofacial bisporphyrin dyads

2010

Recent discoveries from our research groups on the photophysics of a few cofacial bisporphyrin dyads for through space singlet and triplet energy transfers raised several important investigations about the mechanism of energy transfers and energy migration in light-harvesting devices, notably LH II, in the heavily investigated purple photosynthetic bacteria. The key feature is that for face-to-face and slipped dyads with controlled structure using rigid spacers or spacers with limited flexibilities, our fastest rates for singlet energy transfer are in the 10 × 109 s -1 (i.e. 100 ps time scale) for donor-acceptor distances of ~3.5–3.6 Å. The time scale for energy transfers between different…

A Study Using Sulfur K-Edge XAS of Bitumens, Asphaltenes, Maltenes and their Oxidation Products by Comparison with Model Compounds

1997

High resolution Sulfur K-edge XANES spectra have been recorded at the ESRF on test samples of bitumen, asphaltene and maltene fractions and various model compounds. All these fractions were found to have a low content of sulfidic species as opposed to thiophenic species and it is therefore not surprising that thermally oxidized samples (RTFOT) had also a low content (1%) of sulfoxides. This is indeed consistent with the absence of any detectable S=O signature in the EXAFS spectra which were recorded over more than 1300 eV using the undulator gap scan technique.

Electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, chloride binding, and O2 catalytic reactions of free-base porphyrin-cobalt corrole dyads.

2005

Three face-to-face linked porphyrin-corrole dyads were investigated as to their electrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and chloride-binding properties in dichloromethane or benzonitrile. The same three compounds were also investigated as to their ability to catalyze the electroreduction of dioxygen in aqueous 1 M HClO4 or HCl when adsorbed on a graphite electrode. The characterized compounds are represented as (PCY)H2Co, where P = a porphyrin dianion; C = a corrole trianion; and Y = a biphenylenyl, 9,9-dimethylxanthenyl, or anthracenyl spacer, which links the two macrocycles in a face-to-face arrangement. An axial binding of one or two Cl- ligands to the cobalt center of the corrole is …

Experimental and theoretical study of stereoelectronic and H-bond control of reactivity in α- and β-methyl d-glucopyranoside ozonolysis

1998

Abstract The topography of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of α and β anomers of methyl d -glucopyranosides has been used to analyze the reactivity of these species towards electrophilic attack and to complete the results we obtained during the ozonation reaction. Molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to screen the conformational space of α- and β-methyl d -glucopyranosides in order to determine the chair conformations which correspond to a global minimum energy conformation. Density Functional Theory (DFT) (Faststructure) and PM3 (semiempirical) calculations have been carried out to refine the geometries of the 4 C 1 and 1 C 4 chai…

A general protocol for the coupling of mono- and dihalo-1,10-phenanthrolines with diethyl phosphite is reported. This reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of a Pd(OAc)2/dppf catalytic system and triethylamine as a base.

Synthesis and Electrochemistry of Aluminum Porphycenes. Crystal and Molecular Structure of Methyl-σ-Bonded Aluminum Etioporphycene

1997

The synthesis and characterization of three monomeric aluminum porphycenes with anionic or σ-bonded axial ligands is reported. The investigated compounds are represented as ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) and ( EtioPc ) AlX where EtioPc represents the dianion of etioporphycene and X = Cl − or OH −. Each synthesized complex was characterized by mass spectrometry. 1 H NMR, IR and UV-visible spectroscopies as well as by electrochemistry. Comparisons are made between the properties of complexes in the aluminum etioporphycene series and related chloro- or methyl σ-bonded Al ( III ) porphyrins containing octaethylporphyrin ( OEP ) or tetraphenylporphyrin ( TPP ) macrocycles. Comparisons are also made betw…

Enhanced electron-transfer properties of cofacial porphyrin dimers through pi-pi interactions

2009

pi-pi assisted: Photoinduced electron transfer from cofacial porphyrin dimers to electron acceptors is prominently accelerated, whereas the back electron transfer is decelerated, relative to the corresponding porphyrin monomer (see figure).The radical cation of zinc tetrapentylporphyrin is dimerized with an excess of the neutral counterpart to form the dimer radical cation in which the unpaired electron is delocalized over both porphyrin rings. The dimeric radical cation exhibits an NIR absorption spectrum characteristic of weak pi-bond formation between the porphyrin rings. When cofacial porphyrin dimers, linked by different spacers, are oxidized such pi-bond formation between the porphyri…

Reversible coordination of dioxygen by tripodal tetraamine copper complexes incorporated in a porous silica framework.

2010

The present study reports the synthesis and rational design of porous structured materials by using a templating method. A tetraethoxysilylated tripodal tetraamine (TREN) was covalently incorporated in a silica framework with a double imprint: A surfactant template and a metal ion imprint. The presence of a cationic surfactant (CTAB) endowed the material with a high porosity, and the tripodal or square-pyramidal topology of the ligand was preserved thanks to the use of the silylated Cu(II) complex. After removal of the surfactant and de-metalation, the incorporated tetraamine was quantitatively complexed by CuCl(2) and the material has shown after thermal activation that a reversible bindin…

Extraction of uranyl ions from aqueous solutions using silica-gel-bound macrocycles for alpha contaminated waste water treatment

2004

Abstract The efficiency for the extraction of U(VI) of new modified silica gels, namely N-tripropionate (or N-triacetate)-substituted tetraazamacrocycles-bound silica gels, has been studied. The effect of the nature of the ligand, the pH and the temperature was studied both in batch experiments as well as in continuous extraction. These silica gels are good candidates for the extraction of U(VI) when compared to a commercially available acid-type chelating resin. The breakthrough and regeneration tests showed that the total removal of U(VI) from a contaminated solution can be achieved by using a column packed with such tetraazamacrocycles-bound silica gels. Finally, the use of a modified si…

A molecular approach to remove lead from drinking water

2005

Abstract Corrosion of lead-containing plumbings is responsible for significant contamination of tap water, which can reach several hundreds of micrograms per liter. According to a decision of the European Council applicable in 2013, the maximal lead level in tap water should not exceed 10 μg l −1 . A new concept has been explored that relies on solid-phase extraction by covalent attachment of a lead-selective macrocyclic sequestering agent onto the surface of silica gel. An N -carbamoylmethyl substituted 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam) derivative was shown to exhibit favorable protonation properties together with an almost 10 6 -fold selectivity for lead over calcium.

Insights into the crystal packing of phosphorylporphyrins based on the topology of their intermolecular interaction energies

2014

Four metal complexes of 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin 1M (M = Cd(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Pt(II)) were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. The crystal organization patterns were analyzed using DFT (B97-D3/def2-SVP) calculations of the intermolecular interaction energies between complexes in the crystals. For the systematic analysis of crystal packing, the calculations were extended to previously reported compounds 1M (M = H2, Cu(II), and Zn(II)). Quantitative analysis of the interaction energies shows the essential role of weak intermolecular interactions, such as C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and M⋯π, in the formation of basic structural motifs and their organization …

Structural and Electrochemical Studies of Copper(I) Complexes with Diethoxyphosphoryl-1,10-phenanthrolines

2014

Two series of copper(I) complexes with diethoxyphosphoryl-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline ligands were synthesized and characterized in the solid state and in solution. The first comprised mixed-ligand CuI complexes with phenanthroline and triphenylphosphine. The second series includes bis-chelates with two phenanthroline ligands. According to the X-ray data for the six complexes, the ditopic phenanthroline ligands exhibit bidentate coordination to the copper(I) atom through two nitrogen atoms in both series. Solution equilibria involving different phenanthroline copper(I) species were studied by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and spectroelectrochemistry. The solution specia…

Supramolecular Assembly of Organophosphonate Diesters Using Paddle-Wheel Complexes: First Examples in Porphyrin Series

2014

The reactions of dicopper tetrapivalate complex Cu2(μ-OOC-t-Bu)4(NCMe)2 (1) with triphenylphosphine oxide and diethyl phosphite allow paddle-wheel (PW) copper(II) complexes with phosphorus-containing axial ligands (2, 3) to be obtained. When meso-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins 4M were employed in this ligand exchange reaction, a series of one-dimensional (1D) homo- and heterometallic coordination polymers 5M composed of PW subunits and organophosphonate diesters were prepared and characterized by means of single crystal X-ray analysis. Planar porphyrinate 4Pd and nonplanar metalloporphyrinates 4Cu and 4Ni proved to be appropriate molecular structural blocks for assembly of coordination p…
