Magnetoelectrochemistry of 4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)biphenyl and 4,4′-dinitrobiphenyl azacrown macrocyclic lactams
2005
Abstract The voltammetric behaviour at carbon fibre microelectrodes under the application of static magnetic fields of two series of macrolactams containing in their structure 4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)biphenyl or 4,4′-dinitrobiphenyl groups in MeCN solution is described. The response of 4,4′-dinitrobiphenyl receptors is dominated by two successive one-electron reduction processes at −0.9 and −1.6 V versus AgCl/Ag. 4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)biphenyl-containing receptors display two one-electron oxidations above +0.8 and +1.0 V. In both cases, a dihedral/planar interconversion precedes the second electron transfer step. Upon application of moderate (0.05–0.2 T) static magnetic fields to the electr…
Redox-active crown ethers derived from biphenyl. Electrochemical and spectroscopic study of binding processes with alkali, alkali-earth and mercury s…
1998
Abstract Three new electroactive ligands, 3a, 3b and 3c, that contain the biphenyl frameworks in their structure were prepared. These new ligands presented three interesting characteristics: 1) they exhibited a reversible oxidation, 2) the oxidation induced a conformational change in the crown moiety and 3) they had two different coordination centers, the crown ether and the dimethylamino groups. Electrochemical and spectroscopic studies using alkali, alkali-earth and mercury salts were carried out.
Biphenyl macrolactams in anion complexation. Selective naked-eye fluoride recognition
2004
Two colorimetric anion sensors 1 and 2 allow for the selective differentiation of fluoride in the presence of other anions. Two different types of species have been observed in the complexation process, one of them is a co-ordination complex and the other is a salt generated by ligand deprotonation. The deprotonation reaction induces a conformational change, giving rise to a symmetrical species. This species is responsible for colour development. Ligand 3 has a similar structure and does not give rise to any colour modification due to presence of the dimethylamino groups in the biphenyl moiety. The X-ray structure of ligand 2 is also reported and compared with that of ligand 1, that had bee…
Comparison of the crystal structures of 4,4′-bis[3-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)prop-1-yn-1-yl]-1,1′-biphenyl and 4,4′-bis[3-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin…

The crystal structures of the two title compounds display chair conformations of the piperidine rings in their molecules. In compound (I), the biphenyl system has a twisted conformation with a dihedral angle of 26.57 (6)° while in compound (II) the two phenyl rings are exactly coplanar.
Hybrid ferrocene ligands (P, N) : synthesis, coordination to metals and applications in arylation coupling catalysis
2017
The research theme developed during this thesis concerns the development of new hybrid ferrocene hybrid (P, N) ligands with controlled conformation, robust and stable to air. These hybrid tetradent ligands comprise two types of coordinating functions with distinct steric and electronic properties. Their coordination chemistry with metals such as gold or palladium has been studied and some isolated Au (I) complexes have been used in the arylation coupling catalysis of aryl iodides.
Conformation-specific blockade of the integrin GPIIb/IIIa: a novel antiplatelet strategy that selectively targets activated platelets.
2006
Platelet activation causes conformational changes of integrin GPIIb/IIIa (α IIb β 3 ), resulting in the exposure of its ligand-binding pocket. This provides the unique possibility to design agents that specifically block activated platelets only. We used phage display of single-chain antibody (scFv) libraries in combination with several rounds of depletion/selection to obtain human scFvs that bind specifically to the activated conformation of GPIIb/IIIa. Functional evaluation of these scFv clones revealed that fibrinogen binding to human platelets and platelet aggregation can be effectively inhibited by activation-specific scFvs. In contrast to clinically used GPIIb/IIIa blockers, which ar…
Diisopropyl [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methyl]phosphonate
2003
The bond lengths and angles in the title compound, C17H23PO4, are in accordance with anticipated values. There are two conformers in the asymmetric unit. They differ from each other in the orientation of the C and P tetrahedra. Analysis of the structure does not reveal any significant differences between the bond distances and angles of the molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, the conformers are linked by O—H⋯O=P and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Synthesis and coordinating ability of an anionic cobaltabisdicarbollide ligand geometrically analogous to BINAP.
2004
The anionic chelating ligand [1,1'-(PPh 2 ) 2 -3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 1 0 ) 2 ] - has been synthesized from [3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 4 H 1 1 ) 2 ] - in very good yield in a one-pot process with an easy work-up procedure. The coordinating ability of this ligand has been studied with Group 11 metal ions (Ag, Au) and with transition-metal ions (Pd, Rh). The two dicarbollide halves of the [1,1'-(PPh 2 ) 2 -3,3'-Co(1,2-C 2 B 9 H 1 0 ) 2 ] - ligand can swing about one axis in a manner analogous to the constituent parts of BINAP and ferrocenyl phosphine derivatives. All these ligands function as hinges, with the most important property in relation to the coordination requirements of the metal being the P…
First bodipy–DOTA derivatives as probes for bimodal imaging
2010
The synthesis and the photophysical studies of the first bodipy-DOTA and its In(III), Ga(III) and Cu(II) complexes are reported. The introduction of an isothiocyanate handle generates a new bimodal imaging agent capable of both optical and nuclear imaging.
Biosynthesis of Sinapigladioside, an Antifungal Isothiocyanate from Burkholderia Symbionts
2021
Abstract Sinapigladioside is a rare isothiocyanate‐bearing natural product from beetle‐associated bacteria (Burkholderia gladioli) that might protect beetle offspring against entomopathogenic fungi. The biosynthetic origin of sinapigladioside has been elusive, and little is known about bacterial isothiocyanate biosynthesis in general. On the basis of stable‐isotope labeling, bioinformatics, and mutagenesis, we identified the sinapigladioside biosynthesis gene cluster in the symbiont and found that an isonitrile synthase plays a key role in the biosynthetic pathway. Genome mining and network analyses indicate that related gene clusters are distributed across various bacterial phyla including…
