Triphenyltin(IV) 2-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]benzoates as anticancer drugs: Synthesis, structural characterization, in vitro cytotoxicity and study of…
2009
Summary: Triphenyltin(IV) complexes of composition [Ph3SnL 1H]n (1) and [Ph3SnL2H]n (2) (where L1H=2-[(E)-2-(3-formyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-diazenyl] benzoate and L2H = 2-[(E)-2-(4-Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-1-diazenyl] benzoate) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR, IR, 119Sn Mössbauer) techniques in combination with elemental analysis. The molecular structures and geometries of the complexes (1 and 2) were fully optimized using the quantum mechanical method (PM3). Complexes (1 and 2) were found to exhibit stronger cytotoxic activity in vitro across a panel of human tumour cell lines viz., A498, EVSA-T, H226, IGROV, M19 MEL, MCF-7 and WIDR. The test compound…
Synthesis and structure of mono-bridged resorcinarene host: a ditopic receptor for ammonium guests.
2009
The synthesis and structural properties of tetramethoxy resorcinarene mono-crown-5 (1) are described. The binding characteristics of 1 toward acetylcholine and tetramethylammonium salts were investigated by 1H NMR titration. It was observed that the cavity of 1 provides a better fit to acetylcholine compared to the smaller tetramethylammonium cation, as acetylcholine is able to interact with both the crown ether moiety and the free hydroxyl groups of receptor 1 simultaneously.
A Binuclear MnIII Complex of a Scorpiand-Like Ligand Displaying a Single Unsupported MnIII–O–MnIII Bridge
2012
The crystal structure of a binuclear Mn(III) complex of a scorpiand-like ligand (L) displays an unsupported single oxo bridging ligand with a Mn(III)-O-Mn(III) angle of 174.7°. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the two metal centers. DFT calculations have been carried out to understand the magnetic behavior and to analyze the nature of the observed Jahn-Teller distortion. Paramagnetic (1)H NMR has been applied to rationalize the formation and magnetic features of the complexes formed in solution.
Silicic acid competes for dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) immobilization by the iron hydroxide plaque mineral goethite.
2015
Abstract A surface complexation modeling approach was used to extend the knowledge about processes that affect the availability of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) in the soil rhizosphere in presence of a strong sorbent, e.g., Fe plaques on rice roots. Published spectroscopic and molecular modeling information suggest for the organoarsenical agent to form bidentate-binuclear inner-sphere surface complexes with Fe hydroxides similar to the inorganic As oxyanions. However, since also the ubiquitous silicic acid oxyanion form the same bidentate binuclear surface complexes, our hypothesis was that it may have an effect on the adsorption of DMA by Fe hydroxides in soil. Our experimental batch equilibr…
Formation and mixed-valent behaviour of a substituted tetraferrocenylstannane.
2010
A tetrasubstituted tetraferrocenylstannane is formed from 1-bromoferrocene-1′-carboxylic acid methyl ester and copper bronze. The molecular structure is almost perfectly tetrahedral with Fe⋯Fe distances of around 6 A. In solution two sequential one-electron processes and one two-electron process are indicative of mixed-valent intermediates. Intermetallic interactions have been probed by preparative oxidation, paramagnetic NMR spectroscopy, Mosbauer spectroscopy, UV/Vis/NIR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.
Assembly of modular asymmetric organic-inorganic polyoxometalate hybrids into anisotropic nanostructures.
2010
Three organic-inorganic hybrid Mn-Anderson polyoxometalates (POMs), with both symmetrical and asymmetrical appended groups, have been synthesized, identified using electrospray mass spectrometry, and isolated using an approach that allows the three AA, BB, and AB compounds to be structurally characterized. Investigation of the self-assembly of the hybrids on hydrophilic surfaces reveals the formation of nanofibres with characteristics that reflect the nature of the substitution of the POM yielding a route to the programmed assembly of anisotropic hybrid nanostructures.
Molecular basis of the interaction of novel tributyltin(IV) 2/4-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl] benzoates endowed with an improved cytotoxic profile: Synth…
2010
A series of tributyltin(IV) complexes based on 2/4-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]benzoate ligands was synthesized, wherein the position of the carboxylate and aryl substituents (methyl, tert-butyl and hydroxyl) varies. The complexes, Bu(3)SnL(1-4)H (1-4), have been structurally characterized by elemental analysis and IR, NMR ((1)H, (13)C, and (119)Sn) and (119)Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. All have a tetrahedral geometry in solution and a trigonal bipyramidal geometry in the solid-state, except for Bu(3)SnL(4)H (4) that was ascertained to have tetrahedral coordination by X-ray crystallography. Cytotoxicity studies were carried out on human tumor cell lines A498 (renal cancer), EVSA-T (mammary cance…
A quantum-chemical study of the structure, vibrations and SiH bond properties of disilylamine, NH(SiH3)2.
2002
Quantum-chemical calculations at HF, MP2 and B3LYP levels with 6-31G* and 6-311G** basis sets are reported for disilylamine, NH(SiH3)2. The equilibrium structure is found to vary with both level and basis set, all but one of the structures exhibiting a small lack of planarity of the HNSi2 system. The barrier to inversion, however, is found to be very low, at most 38 cm(-1). Vibration frequencies and intensities are calculated. The frequencies are scaled, where possible, either using updated infrared data or with the aid of factors transferred from N(CH3)(SiH3)2. Unobserved frequencies due to the v(s)NSi2, deltaNSi2 and delta(perpendicular)NH modes are predicted near 610, 210 and 360 cm(-1),…
Dibutyltin(IV) complexes containing arylazobenzoate ligands: chemistry, in vitro cytotoxic effects on human tumor cell lines and mode of interaction …
2009
Dibutyltin(IV) complexes of composition Bu2Sn (LH)2, where LH is a carboxylate residue derived from 2-[(E)- (5-tert-butyl-2- hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl]benzoate (L1H) with water molecule (1), 4-[(E)-(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl) diazenyl]benzoate (L2H) (2) and 4-[(E)-(4-hydroxy-5- methylphenyl)diazenyl]benzoate (L3H) (3), were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (1H, 13C and 119Sn NMR, IR, 119Sn Mössbauer) techniques. A full characterization was accomplished from the crystal structure of complex 1. The molecular structures and geometries of the complexes (1a i.e. 1 without water molecule and 3) were fully optimized using the quantum mechanical method (PM6). Complexes 1 and 3 were fo…
A thermodynamic insight into the recognition of hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids in pure water by aza-scorpiand type receptors.
2014
Interactions of different hydrophilic (His, Asp, Glu,) and hydrophobic (Ala, Phe, Tyr, Trp) amino acids in water with a scorpiand aza-macrocycle (L1) containing a pyridine group in the ring and its derivative (L2) bearing a naphthalene group in the tail have been analysed by potentiometric and calorimetric measurements. Theoretical calculations corroborate that major attractive forces that hold the adduct together are hydrogen bonds and salt-bridges, even though other interactions such as π-stacking or NH(+)⋯π may contribute in the case of hydrophobic amino acids and L2. Calorimetric measurements indicate that the interactions between L1 and the different amino acids are principally driven …
