Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium and iridium complexes containing (N^N and N^O) bound chloroquine analogue ligands: synthesis, characterization an…
2016
The synthesis and characterization of twenty new pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium and iridium complexes containing N^N and N^O-chelating chloroquine analogue ligands are described. The in vitro antimalarial activity of the new ligands as well as the complexes was evaluated against the chloroquine sensitive (CQS) NF54 and the chloroquine resistant (CQR) Dd2 strains of Plasmodium falciparum. The antimalarial activity was found to be good to moderate; although all complexes are less active than artesunate, some of the ligands and complexes showed better activity than chloroquine (CQ). In particular, rhodium complexes were found to be considerably more active than iridium complexes against t…
Hyper-CEST NMR of metal organic polyhedral cages reveals hidden diastereomers with diverse guest exchange kinetics.
2022
AbstractGuest capture and release are important properties of self-assembling nanostructures. Over time, a significant fraction of guests might engage in short-lived states with different symmetry and stereoselectivity and transit frequently between multiple environments, thereby escaping common spectroscopy techniques. Here, we investigate the cavity of an iron-based metal organic polyhedron (Fe-MOP) using spin-hyperpolarized 129Xe Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (hyper-CEST) NMR. We report strong signals unknown from previous studies that persist under different perturbations. On-the-fly delivery of hyperpolarized gas yields CEST signatures that reflect different Xe exchange kinetic…
Polyoxometalate salts of cationic nitronyl nitroxide free radicals
2008
The cationic nitronyl nitroxide free radical of the N-methylpyridinium type p-MepyNN + has been combined with [Mo 8 0 26 ] 4- and Keggin [SiW 12 0 40 ] 4- polyanions to afford salts ( p-MepyNN) 4 [Mo 8 0 26 ] DMSO (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide) (1) and (p-MepyNN)4[SiW 12 0 40 ] 6DMF (DMF = dimethylformamide) (2). Herein, their structural and magnetic properties are described.
Layered ferromagnets hosting tetraalkylammonium-substituted nitronyl nitroxide free radicals
2008
This paper describes the structural, magnetic and EPR properties of hybrid organic/inorganic magnets formed by anionic heterometallic oxalato-based layers and cationic nitronyl nitroxide (NN) free radicals of the tetraalkylammonium type. A series of compounds of formula nBu3NCH2NN[MCr(ox)3] (M = Mn (1), Ni (2), Zn (3)) has been prepared and studied by AC and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements and EPR spectroscopy. Magnetic order with critical temperatures ranging from 5 K to 15 K was confirmed. EPR measurements show that the organic spin carriers interact significantly with the inorganic network.
Bridging vs. Chelating Coordination Modes of Vinylsilanes in CuIπ-Complexes: Structure and Stability
2013
Two new copper(I) olefin complexes, [Cu6Cl6(MTrVS)2] (1) and [Cu2Cl2(DMVSP)2] (2), of tridentate bridging methyltrivinylsilane (MTrVS) and bidentate chelating 2-[dimethyl(vinyl)silyl]pyridine (DMVSP) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. It has been shown that using the alkenylsilanes with required electronic properties, molecular symmetry and conformational flexibility, it is possible to control the formation of optimal copper(I) halide oligomers. The obtained results, together with relevant literature data, also illustrate how the coordination mode of vinylsilanes is related to Cu–(C=C) bond strengthening and, conse…
Carbon–Phosphorus Coupling from C^N Cyclometalated Au III Complexes
2020
Abstract With the aim of exploiting new organometallic species for cross‐coupling reactions, we report here on the AuIII‐mediated Caryl−P bond formation occurring upon reaction of C^N cyclometalated AuIII complexes with phosphines. The [Au(C^N)Cl2] complex 1 featuring the bidentate 2‐benzoylpyridine (CCON) scaffold was found to react with PTA (1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane) under mild conditions, including in water, to afford the corresponding phosphonium 5 through C−P reductive elimination. A mechanism is proposed for the title reaction based on in situ 31P{1H} NMR and HR‐ESI‐MS analyses combined with DFT calculations. The C−P coupling has been generalized to other C^N cyclometalated Au…
Toxic Effects of Organometallic Compounds towards Marine Biota
2002
Organometallic derivatives are compounds containing a direct σ or π carbon metal linkage. Furthermore, the concept of the metallic atom must be extended to all the elements that are less negative than the carbon atom. As a consequence, taking into account all elements that are less negative than carbon and the number of existing organic compounds, it is possible to synthesize millions of organometallic derivatives. Several of these are extensively used in organic syntheses; others may find application in agriculture and in many other fields as pesticides, fire retardants, wood preservatives, antifouling agents, etc. In general, the organic derivatives of the metals are more toxic than the p…
Metal complexes of oxadiazole ligands: An overview
2019
Oxadizoles are heterocyclic ring systems that find application in different scientific disciplines, from medicinal chemistry to optoelectronics. Coordination with metals (especially the transition ones) proved to enhance the intrinsic characteristics of these organic ligands and many metal complexes of oxadiazoles showed attractive characteristics for different research fields. In this review, we provide a general overview on different metal complexes and polymers containing oxadiazole moieties, reporting the principal synthetic approaches adopted for their preparation and showing the variety of applications they found in the last 40 years.

Interesting synthetic routes from the reinvestigation of the reaction of the M(CO)6 (M=Cr, Mo and W) species with KOH
1989
Reinvestigation of the reaction of M(CO)6 (M=Cr, Mo or W) with KOH has been found to provide a very convenient route to the K[M2H(CO)10] compounds (M=Cr, Mo or W). The reaction involving Cr(CO)6 yields new potassium derivatives containing [Cr2(CO)10]2− and [HCr(CO)5]− species; also K[Cr2D(CO)10] is produced from the Cr(CO)6/KOD interaction in C2D5OD. The reaction involving two different group 6 metal carbonyls yields [MM′(CO)10(μ-H)]− (MM′=CrMo, CrW or WMo) species as their K+ and PPN+ [bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium] salts.
