Ferrocenyl-Labeled Sugar Amino Acids: Conformation and Properties
2012
Novel organometallic sugar amino acid conjugates 1–5 have been prepared by amide coupling of O-protected N-acetylmuramic acid and iso-muramic acid (2-[3-amino-2, 5-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-4-yl]oxypropanoic acid) with 1-aminoferrocene, 1-aminoferrocene-1′-carboxylic acid (H-Fca-OH), or 1, 1′-diaminoferrocene, respectively. The influence of the ferrocenyl moiety and presence of additional remote potential hydrogen atom acceptors and donors at the ferrocenyl core on the conformation and lipophilicity is investigated by TLC, IR, NMR, and CD spectroscopic methods augmented by density functional calculations. Furthermore, the redox potential of the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple is tuned by…
Model Pumices Supported Metal Catalysts
1997
The catalyzed, selective hydrogenation, in liquid phase, of 1,3-cyclooctadiene was studied on a series of Pd catalysts supported on natural pumice, model pumices (with variable content of alkali metal ions), silica, and sodium-doped silica. At constant pressure of H2(1 atm.) the reaction follows a zero-order kinetic for all the Pd catalysts. At low metal dispersion (Dx < 20%), Pd/pumice catalysts exhibit higher activity as compared to Pd/silica catalysts; the turnover frequency is maintained even at high metal dispersion in Pd/pumice but Pd/silica and Pd/model pumices without alkali ions show a decrease in activity. At increasingDx, the binding energy shift of Pd 3dlevel is negative in Pd/p…
Structural evolution of Pt/ceria-zirconia TWC catalysts during the oxidation of carbon monoxide
2004
The structural evolution of two Pt/ceria–zirconia catalysts, characterized by different amounts of supported Pt, was monitored by in situ X-ray diffraction during the anaerobic oxidation of CO at different temperatures. In a first phase, oxygen coming from the surface layers of the ceria–zirconia mixed oxide is consumed and no structural variation of the support is observed. After this induction time, bulk reduction of Pt/ceria–zirconia takes place as a step-like process, while the CO2 production continues at a nearly constant rate. This behavior is totally different from that of the metal-free support in similar reaction conditions, that show a gradual bulk reduction. In repeated oxidation…
Coamplexation of mercury(II) compounds by crown ethers in organic media
1991
Complexes between crown ethers having ring sizes of 15–24 atoms and 5 to 8 oxygens with HgX2 species (X = Cl, I, CN, SCN) have been prepared and studied. Interactions of the substituents X bound to mercury with groups or fragments in the crown compound are essential in determining the characteristics and stability of the complexes formed. Complexes with crowns of 18C6 ring sizes are the most favourable except for HgX2 compounds for which the size of X is larger than the macrocycle ring, as is the case for X = CF3.
PCP-bridged chalcogen-centred anions: coordination chemistry and carbon-based reactivity.
2012
Since the discovery of the stabilising influence of thiophosphinoyl groups in methanediides by Le Floch et al. (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2004, 43, 6382), numerous transition metal, lanthanide and actinide complexes of bis(thiophosphinoyl) carbene ligands have been investigated with an emphasis on the electronic structure and reactivity of the metal–carbon bonds. This Perspective begins by discussing main group (s- and p-block) complexes of this ligand and draws attention to differences compared to their d and f-block analogues. Investigations targeting the heavy chalcogen analogues of the Le Floch ligand have revealed an unusual carbon-based reactivity that led to the discovery of novel multi…
Synthesis and Structural Study of Tetravalent (Zr 4+ , Hf 4+ , Ce 4+ , Th 4+ , U 4+ ) Metal Complexes with Cyclic Hydroxamic Acids
2015
Six- and seven-membered cyclic hydroxamic acids, such as 1-hydroxypiperidine-2-one (1H, 1,2-PIPOH) and 1-hydroxyazepan-2-one (2H), have recently been identified in some mixed siderophores as one of their three chelating subunits. Compared to their ubiquitous noncyclic counterparts, cyclic hydroxamates are preorganized for metal binding. Surprisingly, the coordination chemistry of these bidentate, monoanionic ligands remains virtually unknown, even in the case of iron(III). We report herein the first structural study of the complexes of 1– and of 6–, an unsaturated seven-membered ring analog of 2–, with tetravalent cations of transition metals (zirconium and hafnium), lanthanide (cerium), an…
Boosting Vis/NIR Charge-Transfer Absorptions of Iron(II) Complexes by N-Alkylation and N-Deprotonation in the Ligand Backbone.
2017
Reversing the 3MLCT / 3MC excited state order in iron(II) complexes is a challenging objective, yet would finally result in longsought luminescent transition metal complexes with an earthabundant central ion. One approach to achieve this goal is based on low-energy charge transfer absorptions in combination with a strong ligand field. Coordinating electron rich and electron poor tridentate oligopyridine ligands with large bite angles at iron(II) enables both low-energy MLCT absorption bands around 590 nm and a strong ligand field. Variations of the electron rich ligand by introducing longer alkyl substituents destabilizes the iron(II) complex towards ligand substitution reactions while hard…
New Insights into the Chemistry of Imidodiphosphinates from Investigations of Tellurium-Centered Systems
2010
Dichalcogenido-imidodiphosphinates, [N(PR(2)E)(2)](-) (R = alkyl, aryl), are chelating ligands that readily form cyclic complexes with main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. Since their discovery in the early 1960s, researchers have studied the structural chemistry of the resulting metal complexes (where E = O, S, Se) extensively and identified a variety of potential applications, including as NMR shift reagents, luminescent complexes in photonic devices, or single-source precursors for metal sulfides or selenides. In 2002, a suitable synthesis of the tellurium analogs [N(PR(2)Te)(2)](-) was developed. In this Account, we describe comprehensive investigations of t…

2009
Abstract A Co-monosubstituted Keggin polyoxometalate with an antenna ligand linked to the Co(II) center with a Co(II)-containing cation has been prepared. The title compound, formulated as {Co(H 2 O) 4 (4,4′-bpy)} 2 (4,4′-Hbpy) 2 [SiW 11 Co(4,4′-bpy)O 39 ] · 5H 2 O ( 1 ) (4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG analysis, X-ray single crystal structure analysis and magnetic measurements. As far as we know, the title compound represents the first Co(II) substituted Keggin polyoxometalate with an antenna ligand structurally and magnetically characterized.
Symmetric naphthalenediimidequaterthiophenes for electropolymerized electrochromic thin films
2015
A new symmetric naphthalenediimidequaterthiophene (s-NDI2ODT4) was synthesized and exhibited the capability to electropolymerize alone or with EDOT affording polymers with controlled donor/acceptor monomer ratios. s-NDI2ODT4-EDOT-based copolymers showed low band gaps, wide optical absorption ranges extending to the near IR region, tuned electrical properties, thin-film surface morphology and hydrophilicity as well as high coloration efficiency in electrochromic devices.
