Cluster dirhenium(III) cis-dicarboxylates with α-amino acids ligands as mighty selective G4s binders.
2021
The synthesis of four dirhenium(III) cis-dicarboxylates with the α-amino acids residues Asp (I), Glu (II), Phe (III) and Tyr (IV) is presented. The G-quadruplex stabilization potential was evaluated by fluorescence resonance energy transfer - melting analysis. All derivatives show specific binding to c-kit1 quadruplex, while II and IV have also strong stabilization activity to HTelo21 quadruplex. At the same time, the compounds do not show any stabilization activity for ds26 DNA, which suggests unique mechanisms of molecular DNA recognition for these complexes.
Improved Preparations of Molybdenum Coordination Compounds from Tetrachlorobis(diethyl ether)molybdenum(IV)
2001
International audience; The reduction of MoCl5 with metallic tin in diethyl ether provides a rapid and convenient entry to [MoCl4(OEt2)2] This compound can be transformed easily and in high yields into a variety of other useful synthons. The loss of ether in the solid state affords a new and reactive form of MoCl4. Treatment with THF, PMe3 or LiOtBu affords [MoCl4(THF)2], [MoCl4(PMe3)3] or [Mo(OtBu)4] in high isolated yields. Treatment with metallic tin in THF affords [MoCl3(THF)3] All of these reactions can be carried out under simple experimental conditions and represent significant improvements relative to previously reported syntheses of the same compounds.
Synthesis and magnetic properties of an iron 1,2-bisthienyl perfluorocyclopentene photochromic coordination compound
2011
Abstract The coordination compound Fe(BM-4-PTP) 2 (NCS) 2 ⋅2MeOH ( 1 ) including the photoisomerizable ligand BM-4-PTP (1,2-bis(2′-methyl-5′-(pyrid-4″-yl)thien-3′-yl)perfluorocyclopentene) was obtained as an orange powder. The powder turns blue upon photocyclization of the 1,2-bisthienyl photochromic ligand induced by UV light irradiation at room temperature. Photocycloreversion is obtained by visible light irradiation of the material in the solid state. The orange and blue powders were investigated over the temperature range (5–293 K) and pressure range (1 bar–12 kbar) by magnetic susceptibility measurements and variable temperature 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy. The photo-induced colour ch…

The structure of 1 presents a 2D honeycomb anionic layer formed by Mn(II) and Cr(III) ions linked through oxalate ligands and a cationic layer of [Fe(sal(2)-trien)](+) complexes intercalated between the 2D oxalate network. The structures of 2, 3, and 4 pres…
Pressure effect studies on spin crossover systems
2005
Abstract In the present review article we discuss the results of investigations of the influence of hydrostatic pressure (up to 1.2 GPa) on the spin transition behaviour in coordination compounds of 3d transition metal ions. The systems under investigation are mononuclear spin crossover compounds of iron(II) and chromium(II), dinuclear complexes of iron(II) exhibiting coexistence of intramolecular anti-ferromagnetic coupling and thermal spin crossover, and 1D, 2D and 3D polynuclear spin crossover complexes of iron(II). It is demonstrated that the application of hydrostatic pressure serves as a tool for modifying the ligand field strength in a controlled manner.
Spin crossover in soft matter
2014
Abstract This review article is devoted to the study of the spin crossover phenomenon in soft matter. Spin crossover compounds, though known for decades, bear the potential for practical applications in switching, sensing and display devices. Having arrived at a reasonable understanding of the spin transition process in solid and liquid states, one trend in this research field is to extend the knowledge into soft matter. The review begins with a brief description of Langmuir–Blodgett thin films based on FeII coordination compounds since it represents the first study of the spin crossover phenomenon in soft matter. The following section illustrates the FeII, FeIII and CoII complexes reported…

Ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes are among the most popular sensitizers in photocatalysis, but they face some severe limitations concerning accessible excited-state energies and photostability that could hamper future applications. In this study, the borylation of heteroleptic ruthenium(II) cyanide complexes with alpha-diimine ancillary ligands is identified as a useful concept to elevate the energies of photoactive metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) states and to obtain unusually photorobust compounds suitable for thermodynamically challenging energy transfer catalysis as well as oxidative and reductive photoredox catalysis. B(C6F5)(3) groups attached to the CN- ligands stabilize t…
Photoswitchable coordination compounds
2001
Photoswitchable compounds represent an attractive class of materials in coordination chemistry. Recent progress dealing with transition metal compounds involving photo-induced changes of the magnetic and/or optical properties to long-lived metastable states are covered in the present review article. The basic photophysical phenomena together with representative examples such as nitroprusside derivatives, relevant spin crossover complexes, stilbenoid complexes and finally Prussian blue analogues are discussed. Some possible applications regarding energy and information storage are suggested at the end.
7-Amino-2-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid as the dimethylformamide and water monosolvates at 293 K.
2010
The molecular structure of 7-amino-2-methylsulfanyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid is reported in two crystal environments, viz. as the dimethylformamide (DMF) monosolvate, C(7)H(7)N(5)O(2)S·C(3)H(7)NO, (I), and as the monohydrate, C(7)H(7)N(5)O(2)S·H(2)O, (II), both at 293 (2) K. The triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine molecule is of interest with respect to the possible biological activity of its coordination compounds. While the DMF solvate exhibits a layered structural arrangement through N...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, the monohydrate displays a network of intermolecular O...O and N...O hydrogen bonds assisted by cocrystallized water molecules and weak π-π stacking intera…
Near Isotropic D4d Spin Qubits as Nodes of a Gd(III)-Based Metal-Organic Framework
2021
Embedding coherent spin motifs in reproducible molecular building blocks is a promising pathway for the realization of quantum technologies. Three-dimensional (3D) MOFs are a versatile platform for the rational design of extended structures employing coordination chemistry. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of a gadolinium(III)-based MOF, [Gd(bipyNO)4](TfO)3·xMeOH (bipyNO = bipyridine,N,N′-dioxide; TfO = triflate; and MeOH = methanol) (quMOF-1), which presents a unique coordination geometry that leads to a tiny magnetic anisotropy (in terms of D, an equivalent zero-field splitting would be achieved by D = 0.006 cm–1) even compared with regular Gd(III) complexes. Pulsed elec…
