Electrochemical and DFT studies of the oxidative decomposition of the trihydride complexes Cp*M(dppe)H3 (M = Mo, W) in acetonitrile
2006
International audience; A detailed electrochemical study of the oxidative decomposition of the trihydride complexes Cp*M(dppe)H3 (M = Mo, W) in acetonitrile is presented. For the Mo complex, the decomposition occurs by four different pathways involving classical and non-classical tautomers, whereas only the classical form is accessible for the W derivative. Each of the decomposition pathways has been quantitatively assessed by analyses of the linear sweep voltammograms. In addition to the previously established (B. Pleune, D. Morales, R. Meunier-Prest, P. Richard, E. Collange, J. C. Fettinger and R. Poli, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1999, 121, 2209–2225) deprotonation, disproportionation, and H2 red…
Single chain magnet behaviour in an enantiopure chiral cobalt(II)–copper(II) one-dimensional compound
2010
The self-assembly of an enantiomerically pure, chiral dianionic oxamatocopper(II) complex with cobalt(II) ions leads to neutral oxamato-bridged heterobimetallic chains that combine chirality and slow magnetic relaxation, providing thus the first example of ‘‘chiral single chain magnets (CSCMs).

Binding Mode and Selectivity of a Scorpiand-Like Polyamine Ligand to Single- and Double-Stranded DNA and RNA: Metal- and pH-Driven Modulation
2017
The interaction of a polyazacyclophane ligand having an ethylamine pendant arm functionalized with an anthryl group (L), with the single-stranded polynucleotides polyA, polyG, polyU, and polyC as well as with the double-stranded polynucleotides polyA-polyU, poly(dAT)(2), and poly(dGC)(2) has been followed by UV/Vis titration, steady state fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermal denaturation measurements. In the case of the single-stranded polynucleotides, the UV/Vis and fluorescence titrations permit to distinguish between sequences containing purine and pyrimidine bases. For the double-stranded polynucleotides the UV/Vis measurements show for all of them hypochromicity and bathochromic shif…
DNA interaction of CuII, NiII and ZnII functionalized salphen complexes: studies by linear dichroism, gel electrophoresis and PCR.
2013
The interaction of salphen-type NiII, CuII and ZnII complexes with native DNA was investigated by exploiting linear dichroism experiments. The NiII complex behaves as a typical intercalator, binding strongly and stiffening and unwinding the DNA. The strength of the DNA interaction is slightly weaker for the copper complex and much weaker for the zinc complex. Plasmid-DNA gel electrophoresis experiments indicated that while CuII and ZnII complexes do not induce the unwinding of supercoiled DNA, the NiII complex has a nuclease activity without the addition of external agents. On the other hand, as shown in the PCR assays, we demonstrate that, at the used concentrations, only the CuII complex …
Synthesis of Polyfused Heterocycle Derivatives Containing the Dipyridoimidazole Core by Friedländer’s Reaction: Access to Analogs of Ellipticine
2005
Reaction of 3-amino-2-formylimidazo[l,2-a]pyridine with various aldehydes and ketones by Friedlander's methodology afforded an entry to dipyridoimidazole, tri(tetra)azacyclopenta[b]fluorene, tri(tetra)azabenzo[b]-fluorene and triazaindeno[2,1-b]phenanthrene derivatives. Intercalation with a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide was examined.
[Fe(TPT)(2/3){M(I)(CN)2}2]⋅nSolv (M(I) = Ag, Au): new bimetallic porous coordination polymers with spin-crossover properties.
2013
Two new heterobimetallic porous coordination polymers with the formula [Fe(TPT)2/3{MI(CN)2}2]¿nSolv (TPT=[(2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine]; MI=Ag (nSolv=0, 1¿MeOH, 2¿CH2Cl2), Au (nSolv=0, 2¿CH2Cl2)) have been synthesized and their crystal structures were determined at 120¿K and 293¿K by single-crystal X-ray analysis. These structures crystallized in the trigonal R-3m space group. The FeII ion resides at an inversion centre that defines a [FeN6] coordination core. Four dicyanometallate groups coordinate at the equatorial positions, whilst the axial positions are occupied by the TPT ligand. Each TPT ligand is centred in a ternary axis and bridges three crystallographically equivalent Fe…
Diorganotin(IV)-2-mercaptopyrimidine complexes
1998
The complexes formed between the diorganotin(IV) moieties, R 2 Sn(IV), and the ligand 2-mercaptopyrimidine, (H)SPym, were investigated. Complexes R 2 SnHal(SPym) and R 2 Sn(SPym) 2 [R = Me, i Pr, n Bu, i Bu, t Bu, cyclohexyl(Cy), Ph] were synthesized, and characterized by elemental analysis. In the solid state, chelation of SPym through S and N donors was established by IR spectroscopy, and the nature of the environment of tin centers was investigated by 119 Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. From the dynamics of 119 Sn nuclei determined by variable-temperature measurements on representative compounds [Me 2 SnCl(SPym) and Cy 2- SnBr(SPym)], as well as by point-charge model treatment of nuclear quad…
Triplet of cysteines – Coordinational riddle?
2020
Polythiol binding of metal ions plays crucial role in the proper functioning of cysteine-rich proteins that are responsible for metal homeostasis and defending processes against metal toxicity (including heavy metals detoxification). The coordination properties of cysteine residues involved in specific sequencional patterns in proteins (like those present in e.g. metallothioneins) are interesting not only from a chemical point of view but may also lead to a better understanding of the purpose and allocation of metal ions in various biomolecules. In this study, the interaction of Zn2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ ions with four peptides containing cysteine triplet motif were studied by potentiometric and …
A novel polynitrile ligand with different coordination modes: Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the series [M(tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (M=Mn, …
2008
International audience; A novel polynitrile ligand (tcnoprOH− = [(NC)2CC(OCH2CH2CH2OH)C(CN)2]−) with up to five potentially coordinating groups has been synthesized in a one-pot reaction from a cyclic acetal and malononitrile. The combination of this novel ligand with different transition metal ions has led to the synthesis of two different structural types with the same formula but with different coordination modes in the ligand. Mn(II) and Cu(II) lead to a μ2-N,O-coordinating mode in the series of compounds formulated as [M(N,O-tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (M = MnII (1) and CuII (2)), whereas Co(II) and, most probably Ni(II), lead to a μ2-N,N′-coordinating mode in [Co(N,N′-tcnoprOH)2(H2O)2] (3). Bot…
Ferrocenyl-Coupled N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Gold(I)
2016
Four gold(I) carbene complexes featuring 4-ferro-cenyl-substituted imidazol-2-ylidene ligands were investigated for antiproliferative and antivascular properties. They were active against a panel of seven cancer cell lines, including multidrug-resistant ones, with low micromolar or nanomolar IC50 (72 h) values, according to their lipophilicity and cellular uptake. The delocalized lipophilic cationic complexes 8 and 10 acted by increasing the reactive oxygen species in two ways: through a genuine ferrocene effect and by inhibiting the thioredoxin reductase. Both complexes gave rise to a reorganization of the F-actin cytoskeleton in endothelial and melanoma cells, associated with a G1 phase c…
