Conformational Switching of Multi-Responsive Ferrocenyl-Phenol Conjugates
2016
Multifunctional conformational switches based on the ferrocenyl-salicylic acid amide motif with increasing additional complexity at the Fc moiety (R = COOMe, CONHEt, CONHFc; H-2–H-4; Fc = ferrocenyl) have been prepared and their preferred secondary structures in solution have been elucidated by NMR and IR spectroscopy in combination with conformational searches based on DFT calculations. Their distinct conformational responses to deprotonation ([2]––[4]–) and oxidation ([H-2]+·–[H-4]+·) have been revealed by IR, EPR, and UV/Vis spectroscopy as well as by DFT calculations. Deprotonation inverts all amide units (double amide twist) whereas oxidation selectively flips the terminal amide unit (…
Asymmetric Synthesis of Spiro β-Lactamsviaa Squaramide- Catalyzed Sulfa-Michael Addition/Desymmetrization Protocol
2016
An efficient asymmetric synthesis of spirocyclohexenone β-lactams bearing three contiguous stereocenters has been achieved in moderate to good yields and high stereoselectivities. The protocol involves the combination of a squaramide-catalyzed sulfa-Michael addition under desymmetrization via a dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic 2,5-cyclohexadienones.
Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of [Co(bpcam)2]ClO4·dmso·H2O, [Co(bpcam)2]2[Co(NCS)4]·dmso·H2O and [Ni(bpcam)2]·H2O [Hbpcam = bi…
2017
The preparation, spectroscopic characterization, structural study and magnetic investigation of three new complexes of formula [Co(bpcam)2]ClO4·dmso·H2O (1), [Co(bpcam)2]2[Co(NCS)4]·dmso·H2O (2) and [Ni(bpcam)2]·H2O (3) [Hbpcam = bis(2-pyrimidylcarbonyl)amide] are reported. Each bpcam group in 1–3 acts as a tridentate ligand being coordinated to the cobalt(III) (1 and 2)/nickel(II) (3) ions through three nitrogen atoms in a mer-arrangement. Six-coordinate cobalt(III) and nickel(II) occur in 1 and 3 respectively, whereas six-coordinate cobalt(III) and four-coordinate cobalt(II) coexist in 2. Cyclic voltammetry of 1 in acetonitrile shows the occurrence of one quasi reversible CoIII ↔ CoII pro…
Squaramide-Catalyzed Asymmetric aza-Friedel-Crafts/N,O-Acetalization Domino Reactions Between 2-Naphthols and Pyrazolinone Ketimines
2017
N-Boc ketimines derived from pyrazolin-5-ones were explored to develop an unprecedented domino aza-Friedel-Crafts/N,O-acetalization reaction with 2-naphthols. The novel method requires a catalyst loading of only 0.5 mol % of a bifunctional squaramide catalyst, is scalable to gram amounts, and provides a new series of furanonaphthopyrazolidinone derivatives bearing two vicinal tetra-substituted stereogenic centers in excellent yields (95-98 %) and stereoselectivity (>99:1 d.r. and 97-98 % ee). A different reactivity was observed in the case of 1-naphthols and other electron-rich phenols, which led to the aza-Friedel-Crafts adducts in 70-98 % yield and 47-98 % ee.
New crystal structures of fluorinated α-aminophosphonic acid analogues of phenylglycine
2020
The four novel phosphonic acid analogues of phenylglycine with various substituents in phenyl ring (mostly fluorine atoms) have been synthesized by using procedure of amidoalkylation of phosphorus trichloride with aromatic aldehydes and acetamide. The NMR, ESI-MS spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-Ray diffraction methods were used to characterize unusual structures: the amino-(4-trifluoromethylbenzyl)-(1), amino-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-(2), amino-(2,4,6-trifluorobenzyl)-(3), and amino-(2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzyl)-(4) phosphonic acids. Since the α-aminophosphonates have a potential for biological activity and could be used as building blocks in medicinal chemistry, it is important to know their d…
The photochemistry of mono- and dinuclear cyclometalated bis(tridentate)ruthenium(ii) complexes: dual excited state deactivation and dual emission
2016
The synthesis and characterization of a series of weakly emissive mononuclear cyclometalated [Ru(dpb-R)(tpy)](+) complexes with functional groups R of varying electron-donating characters at the dpb ligand are described (dpbH = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene, tpy = 2,2';6',2''-terpyridine, 1(+): R = NHCOMe, 2(+): R = NH2, 3(+): R = COOEt, 4(+): R = COOH). Steady-state emission spectroscopy in the temperature range between 298 K and 77 K revealed a previously unrecognized excited state deactivation pathway via low-lying triplet ligand-to-ligand ((3)LL'CT) charge transfer states in addition to the well-known pathway via(3)MC states. Thermal activation barriers for depopulation of the emissive metal…
Water-Soluble Squaramide Dihydrates: N-Methylation Modulates the Occurrence of One- and Two-Dimensional Water Clusters through Hydrogen Bonding and D…
2018
Water confined in molecular size domains is distinct to bulk water. The altered interactions between adjacent water molecules, and between water molecules and molecular wall components of the confinement system, determine aspects of important phenomena in material science, biology, and nanotechnology. The structural determination of confined water, however, has proven to be challenging. Here, we describe the crystal structures of three related squaramides 1–3 whose molecular structures are modulated by the gradual incorporation of N-methyl groups to the squaramide moiety. The three squaramides differ in their hydrogen bonding capabilities due to the different degree of N-methylation of each…

2016
The syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of four rhenium(IV) compounds of formulae NBu4[ReCl5(pyzCOOH)]·H2O (1), [ReCl5(µ-pyzCOO)M(dmphen)2]·2CH3CN [M = Ni (2) and Co (3)] and {[ReCl5(µ3-pyzCOO)]2Mn2(dmphen)3}n (4) (NBu4 = tetra-n-butylammonium cation, pyzCOOH = 2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid, dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) are reported herein. Compound 1 was obtained by the reaction of NBu4[ReCl5(dmf)] (dmf = dimethylformamide) with pyzCOOH in acetone, whereas the other complexes were obtained by the reaction of 1 with M(ClO4)2·6H2O [M = Ni (2), Co (3), Mn (4)] and dmphen in acetonitrile. Complex 1 is a mononuclear compound, 2 and 3 are neutral heterodinuclear compl…
A three-coordinate iron–silylene complex stabilized by ligand–ligand dispersion forces
2016
The structural and bonding properties of a three-coordinate N-heterocyclic silyene (NHSi) complex of the iron(II) amide [Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2] are reported. Computational studies reveal that dispersion forces between the amido SiMe3 substituents and the isopropyl substituents on the NHSi ligand significantly enhance the stability of the complex, along with Fe-to-Si π-backbonding.

2019
We herein present the synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, description of the crystal structures and magnetic properties of four new complexes of the formula [{Cu(opba)(H2O)1.2}{Cu(dmphen)(SCN)}2]·dmf (1), [{Cu(opba)}2{Cu(dmphen)Cl}4]·1.5dmf·2.5dmso (2), [{Cu(opba)}2{Cu(dmphen)Br}4]·dmf·2.3dmso (3) and [{Cu(opba)}{Cu(dmphen)(dca)}2]n (4) [H4opba = N,N′-1,2-phenylenebis(oxamic acid), dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and dca = dicyanamide anion]. 1 is a neutral tricopper(II) complex where an inner [Cu(opba)]2− fragment adopts a bis-bidentate coordination mode towards two outer [Cu(dmphen)(NCS)]+ units. 2 and 3 are bis-trinuclear species where two oxamato-bridged [Cu(opba){Cu(dmphen)X}2…
