Coordination chemistry on surfaces through vapor phase processing: smart molecular/graphene heterostructures based on spin-crossover complexes and 2D…

2023

Los compuestos de coordinación están últimamente focalizando la atención de los investigadores en el campo de la nanociencia. Particular interés están generando aquellos compuestos con propiedades magnéticas de cara a su integración a la nanoescala en ramas como la electrónica y/o la espintrónica moleculares. Sin embargo, para su uso real en dispositivos destinados a estas aplicaciones, su procesabilidad es un requisito indispensable. En el marco de esta necesidad, la presente tesis doctoral se ha destinado al estudio del procesado sobre superficies mediante técnicas de fase gas de dos tipos distintos de compuestos de coordinación. Por tanto, el trabajo se ha dividido en dos partes. La prim…

Achieving Strong Positive Cooperativity through Activating Weak Non-Covalent Interactions

2018

Positive cooperativity achieved through activating weak non-covalent interactions is common in biological assemblies but is rarely observed in synthetic complexes. Two new molecular tubes have been synthesized and the syn isomer binds DABCO-based organic cations with high orientational selectivity. Surprisingly, the ternary complex with two hosts and one guest shows a high cooperativity factor (α=580), which is the highest reported for synthetic systems without involving ion-pairing interactions. The X-ray single-crystal structure revealed that the strong positive cooperativity likely originates from eight C-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds between the two head-to-head-arranged syn tube molecules. Thes…

Eight coordination compounds of formulae [FeII(L˙)2][ReIVCl6] (1a), [FeII(L˙)2][ReIVBr6] (1b), [CoII(L˙)2][ReIVCl6]·CH3CN (2a), [CoII(L˙)2][ReIVBr6] (2b), [NiII(L˙)(CH3CN)3][ReIVCl6]·CH3CN (3a), [NiII(L˙)(CH3CN)3][ReIVBr6]·3CH3CN (3b), [CuII(L˙)2][ReIVCl6] (4a) and [CuII(L˙)2][ReIVBr6] (4b), where L˙ is the aminoxyl radical chelating ligand, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-di(2-pyridyl)oxazolidine-N-oxide, have been synthesised. Structural and magnetic studies reveal metal–radical intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions in the [MII(L˙)2]2+ cations in the iron, cobalt and copper based compounds (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 4a and 4b) with the central metal ion low-spin in the case of iron (1a and 1b) and a gra…

A nucleophilic gold complex.

2019

Solid-state auride salts featuring the negatively charged Au– ion are known to be stable in the presence of alkali metal counterions. While such electron-rich species might be expected to be nucleophilic (in the same manner as I–, for example), their instability in solution means that this has not been verified experimentally. Here we report a two-coordinate gold complex (NON)AlAuPtBu3 (where NON is the chelating tridentate ligand 4,5-bis(2,6-diisopropylanilido)-2,7-di-tert-butyl-9,9-dimethylxanthene) that features a strongly polarized bond, Auδ––Alδ+. This is synthesized by reaction of the potassium aluminyl compound [K{Al(NON)}]2 with tBu3PAuI. Computational studies of the complex, includ…

Spectroscopy and Coordination Chemistry of a New Bisnaphthalene−Bisphenanthroline Ligand Displaying a Sensing Ability for Metal Cations

2005

A new fluorescent macrocyclic structure (L1) bearing two naphthalene units at both ends of a cyclic polyaminic chain containing two phenanthroline units was investigated with potentiometric and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) techniques. The fluorescence emission spectra show the simultaneous presence of three bands: a short wavelength emission band (naphthalene monomer), a middle emission band (phenanthroline emission), and a long-wavelength band. All three bands were found to be dependent on the protonation state of the macrocyclic unit (including the polyaminic and phenanthroline structures). The existence of the long-wavelength emission band is discussed and is shown to im…

Anticancer study of heterobimetallic platinum(II)-ruthenium(II) and platinum(II)-rhodium(III) complexes with bridging dithiooxamide ligand

2019

Abstract Three heterobimetallic platinum (II)/ruthenium (II) and platinum (II)/rhodium (III) complexes, A: Pt{S–S2C2(NR)2H}{μ-S2C2(NR)2}-[Ru (p-cymene)Cl], R = isoamyl; B: Pt{S–S2C2(NR)2H}{μ-S2C2(NR)2}[Rh (phpy)2], R = isoamyl; C: [Pt{S–S2C2(NR)2H}{μ-S2C2(NR)2}-[Rh(C5Me5)Cl]], R = benzyl, were prepared from mononuclear complexes 1 and 2, 1: [Pt (H-isoamyl2DTO)2]; 2: [Pt (H-benzyl2DTO)2], DTO = dithiooxamide, by reaction of 1 or 2 with the corresponding chlorido-bridged dimers, [Rh(C5Me5)Cl (μ-Cl)]2, [Ru (p-cymene)Cl (μ-Cl)]2 or [Rh (phpy)2 (μ-Cl)]2, and then evaluated as anticancer agents for the inhibition of the three proteolytic activities of human 20S proteasome, one of the main target …

Theoretical Studies of the Reactivity of Cyclopentadienyl Nitrosyl Alkyl Species of Molybdenum and Tungsten

2000

International audience; The reactivity differences observed experimentally for Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 and CpMo(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) techniques. The reactions of the CpW(NO)(CH2) model complex with NH3 and CH4 are more exothermic and have lower activation barriers than the corresponding processes for CpMo(NO)(CH2). The η2(C,H) methane complex CpM(NO)(CH2)(CH4) (M = Mo, W) can undergo two competitive processes:  C−H activation to afford CpM(NO)(CH3)2 or loss of methane. The relative barrier heights are almost identical for M = W, whereas the formation of CpM(NO)(CH3)2 is significantly disfavored for M = Mo. The activation of C−H and N−H bonds …

Micelles as containers for self-assembled nanodevices: a fluorescent sensor for lipophilicity

2008

Potentiometric titrations, fluorescence versus pH titrations, dynamic light scattering and fluorescence polarization anisotropy studies demonstrate that inside the nanodimensioned Triton X-100 micelles, 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, PCOO-, forms an apical complex with the Zn2+ cation encircled by a lipophilic cyclen ligand and hugely increasing its fluorescence. The ability of the Zn2+-cyclen-PCOO- complex plus its micellar container to act as a fluorescent sensor to evaluate the lipophilicity of molecular species is demonstrated on the fatty acid series CH 3(CH2)xCOOH (x=0-16). At pH 7.4 a decrease in fluorescence is observed on the addition of fatty acids that is directly related to their chai…

Influence of structural elements on iron(III) chelating properties in a new series of amino acid-derived monohydroxamates

2018

Abstract A series of amino acid-derived monohydroxamate compounds A1 – A7 was synthesized and characterized for their coordination properties of Fe(III). The series varies in their skeletal lengths and compositions; some compounds lack external substituents, others are substituted with external functional amino or carboxylic groups, or alternatively inert methyl. Undertaken investigations allowed the determination of stoichiometry, stability constants and spectroscopic parameters of formed ferric complexes. Incorporation of an external functional group with a dissociable proton affects the coordination behavior; the presence of carboxylic or amino groups hampers the formation of mono-, di- …
