A Bis(tridentate)cobalt Polypyridine Complex as Mediator in Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells
2015
Dye-sensitized solar cells equipped with cationic and neutral RuII-based sensitizers [Ru(ddpd){tpy(COOH)3}]2+ [12+; ddpd = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-di(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2,6-diamine, tpy(COOH)3 = 2,2″6′,2″-terpyridine-4,4′,4″-tricarboxylic acid] and [Ru(ddpd){tpy(COOH)(COO)2}] (2) with and without the coadsorbent chenodeoxycholic acid were constructed with I3–/I– or the CoIII/II-based redox mediators [Co(bpy)3]3+/2+ (33+/2+; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) and [Co(ddpd)2]3+/2+ (43+/2+) in the presence of LiClO4 and 4-tert-butylpyridine. The best photovoltaic performance was achieved by using the 43+/2+ shuttle and the neutral sensitizer 2 without coadsorbent. The higher short-circuit photocurrent densit…
Salphen metal complexes as potential anticancer agents: interaction profile and selectivity studies toward the three G-quadruplex units in the KIT pr…
2022
DNA G-rich sequences can organize in four-stranded structures called G-quadruplexes (G4s). These motifs are enriched in significant sites within the human genomes, including telomeres and promoters of cancer related genes. For instance, KIT proto-oncogene promoter, associated with diverse cancers, contains three adjacent G4 units, namely Kit2, SP, and Kitt. Aiming at finding new and selective G-quadruplex binders, we have synthesized and characterized five non-charged metal complexes of Pt(II), Pd(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) of a chlorine substituted Salphen ligand. The crystal structure of the Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes was determined by XRPD. FRET measurements indicated that Pt(II) an…
A heteroleptic bis(tridentate)ruthenium(II) polypyridine complex with improved photophysical properties and integrated functionalizability.
2010
The synthesis and photophysical properties of a ruthenium(II) complex bearing an electron-accepting 2,2';6',2''-terpyridine ligand and an electron-donating N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine (ddpd) ligand are presented. The heteroleptic complex is easily prepared isomerically pure and features intense low-energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) absorption bands and intense room temperature (3)MLCT emission with a long (3)MLCT lifetime. The favorable photophysical properties are due to the strong ligand field imposed by the ddpd ligand.
Bortezomib potentiates the antitumor effect of tributyltin(IV) ferulate in colon cancer cells exacerbating ER stress and promoting apoptosis
2022
Organotin(IV) complexes represent promising drugs in medicinal chemistry for their potential use in cancer therapy. We recently reported synthesis and characterization of a new organotin(IV) complex of ferulic acid (FA), tributyltin(IV) ferulate (TBT-F), showing its antitumor action in colon cancer cells. Here we provide evidence that the efficacy of this compound is strongly potentiated by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ). While low concentrations of tributyltin(IV) ferulate alone promoted autophagy without reducing cell viability, combination of the two compounds markedly affected colon cancer cell viability, cell morphology and exasperated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, as r…
Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Crystal Structure Determination of Cationic [(Cyclopentadienyl)dicarbonyliron](alkynyl)‐aminocarbene C…
1996
(Alkynoyl)iron complexes 1, Cp(CO)2Fe(OCCCR) (R = CH3, Ph, SiMe3), were synthesized by applying a mixed anhydride procedure and transformed into the cationic methoxycarbene complexes 2, [Cp(CO)2 Fe(C(OMe)CCR)+]-[PF6–]. Primary amines H2NR′ react with the methoxycarbene complexes to furnish exclusively cationic aminocarbene complexes 3, [Cp(CO)2 Fe(C(NHR′)CCR)+][PF6–], or (2-methoxyvinyl)aminocarbene complexes 5. The spectroscopic properties of the new complexes are discussed. The (alkynyl)-aminocarbene complexes 3e and 3f were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
Preparation, Properties, and Reactivity of (Aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) as Bulky Isolobal Trimetallo-amide
2015
Nucleophilic substitution of the ethoxy substituent in the Fischer carbene complex (ethoxy)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) (1) by ferrocenyl amide [Fc-NH]– [2-H]– gives the hetero trimetallic complex (aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene (pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) (3). As the Cr(CO)5 fragment is isolobal to oxygen or sulfur 3 can be viewed as an isolobal metallo analogue to diferrocenylamide (Fc)(FcNH)C=O (4) and diferrocenylthioamide (Fc)(FcNH)C=S (5). The impact of the formal replacement of O/S by Cr(CO)5 in 3 is studied with respect to steric and electronic consequences as well as reactivity by spectroscopic, diffraction, electrochemical and theoretical methods.
>3 + 1 = 6 + 2> In Cu(ii) coordination chemistry of 1H-pyrazole aza cryptands
2015
A polyazamacrocycle formed from two tris(2-aminoethyl)amine units connected by 1H-pyrazole units shows unique hexanuclear Cu(ii) complexes by combination of two binuclear Cu(ii) cryptand complexes through pyrazolate moieties belonging to both cryptands. The formation of these dimeric entities has been proven both in solution by potentiometric studies and mass spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction of crystals of three different batches of formulae [Cu6(H-3L)2(H2O)2](TsO)6·22H2O (2), [Cu6(H-3L)2(NO3)2](NO3)4·2H2O (3) and [Cu6(H-3L)2Cl2]Cl4·(C4H5N3O2)2·14.35H2O (4). The hexanuclear unit in 2 and 4 can be viewed like three magnetically independent binuclear complexes with J =…
Synthesis, X-ray Structure of Two Hexa-Coordinated Ni(II) Complexes with s-Triazine Hydrazine Schiff Base Ligand
2023
The hydrazine s-triazine ligand (E)-4,4’-(6-(2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)dimorpholine (DMPT) was used to synthesize two new Ni(II) complexes via a self-assembly technique. The two complexes were synthesized by a one-pot synthesis strategy and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to be [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3)2.3H2O (1) and [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3)2.H2O (2). The structures of both complexes were very similar regarding the coordination sphere and counter anions, but differ only in the number of the crystal water molecules. In the case of complex 1, there are three water molecules instead of one H2O molecu…

Complexes 1−6 have been prepared following a molecular-programmed self-assembly method, where a heteropolytopic tetranucleating phenylenedioxamato bridging ligand (…
