The first silver(I) nitrate π-complexes with unsaturated organosilicons: Synthesis and structural characterization of [Ag(DADPS)xNO3] (DADPS=diallyld…
2011
Abstract Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (tetraglyme) was used for the first time to induce the activation of silver nitrate resulting in the step-by-step formation of complexes with diallyldiphenylsilane (DADPS). Two crystal compounds of this series were examined by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The analysis of the obtained data showed that the Ag (C C) η 2 -interaction is involved in the synergistic effect of intra and intermolecular forces. In particular the interlayer π–π stacking interactions promoted by asymmetric weak Ag C(phenyl) bond have a significant influence on the thermal behavior and stability of the synthesized products. It was also found that a decrease of si…
Organoplatinum(II) Complexes Self-Assemble and Recognize AT-Rich Duplex DNA Sequences
2021
The specific recognition of AT-rich DNA sequences opens up the door to promising diagnostic and/or therapeutic strategies against gene-related diseases. Here, we demonstrate that amphiphilic PtII complexes of the type [Pt(dmba)(N∧N)]NO3 (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine-κN, κC; N∧N = dpq (3), dppz (4), and dppn (5)) recognize AT-rich oligonucleotides over other types of DNA, RNA, and model proteins. The crystal structure of 4 shows the presence of significant π-stacking interactions and a distorted coordination sphere of the d8 PtII atom. Complex 5, containing the largest π-conjugated ligand, forms supramolecular assemblies at high concentrations under aqueous environment. However, its aggreg…

Influence of Pendant Arms Bearing Ligating Groups on the Structure of Bismuth Porphyrins: Implications for Labeling Immunoglobulins Used in Medical A…
2004
International audience; The synthesis of two picket bismuth(III) porphyrins is reported, and their crystal structures are compared. The influence of the nature of the pickets, as well as their number, is discussed in terms of stability, kinetics of metalation, structure, and distortion of the porphyrin. Unexpectedly, the resultsindicate that the coordination sphere of bismuth is not affected by different types of distortion nor is the stability of the complex. For both types of complexes, the X-ray crystallography revealed that a single arm is actually in direct interaction with the bismuth cation, thereby allowing furtherfunctionalization on the porphyrin core as the linkage with immunoglo…
Heterobimetallic MOFs containing tetrathiocyanometallate building blocks: Pressure-induced spin crossover in the porous {Fe II(pz)[Pd II(SCN) 4]} 3D …
2012
Here we describe the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of two related coordination polymers made up of self-assembling Fe(II) ions, pyrazine (pz), and the tetrathiocyanopalladate anion. Compound {Fe(MeOH) 2[Pd(SCN) 4]}·pz (1a) is a two-dimensional coordination polymer where the Fe(II) ions are equatorially coordinated by the nitrogen atoms of four [Pd(SCN) 4] 2- anions, each of which connects four Fe(II) ions, forming corrugated layers {Fe[Pd(SCN) 4]} ∞. The coordination sphere of Fe(II) is completed by the oxygen atoms of two CH 3OH molecules. The layers stack one on top of each other in such a way that the included pz molecule establishes strong hydrogen bonds with the coordin…
Photomagnetic properties of an Iron(II) low-spin complex with an unusually long-lived metastable LIESST state
2007
A comprehensive study of the photomagnetic behavior of the [Fe(L222N5)(CN)2].H2O complex has been carried out. This complex is characterized by a low-spin (LS) iron(II)-metal center up to 400 K and exhibits at 10 K the well-known Light-Induced Excited Spin State Trapping (LIESST) effect. The critical LIESST temperature (T(LIESST)) has been measured to be 105 K. The kinetics of the transition from the metastable high-spin (HS) state to the low-spin state have been determined and used for reproducing the experimental T(LIESST) curve. This study represents a second example of a fully low-spin iron(II)-metal complex up to 400 K, which can be photoexcited at low temperature with an atypical long…
Crystal structures and spectroscopic properties of copper(II)–bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide–chlorobenzoate complexes
2007
The reaction of 2,4,6-tris(pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (ptz) and copper(II) salts in DMF–water (4:1) resulted in the hydrolysis of ptz, giving rise to the bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amide anion ( ptO 2 - ) and affording the complexes [Cu(ptO 2 )(2-Clbenz)(H 2 O)] ( 1 ), [Cu(ptO 2 )(3-Clbenz)] ( 2 ), and [Cu(ptO 2 )(4-Clbenz)(DMF)] ( 3 ). This report includes the chemical and spectroscopic characterization of all these compounds along with the crystal structures of the Cu(II) complexes thus formed. The coordination spheres of Cu(II) in 1 and 3 are best described as distorted square based pyramidal, while for 2 the coordination sphere is distorted square planar.
Formation and distortion of iodidoantimonates(III): the first isolated [SbI6]3- octahedron
2017
The ability to intentionally construct, through different types of interactions, inorganic–organic hybrid materials with desired properties is the main goal of inorganic crystal engineering. The primary deformation, related to intrinsic interactions within inorganic substructure, and the secondary deformation, mainly caused by the hydrogen bond interactions, are both responsible for polyhedral distortions of halogenidoantimonates(III) with organic cations. The evolution of structural parameters, in particular the Sb—I secondary- and O/N/C—H...I hydrogen bonds, as a function of temperature assists in understanding the contribution of those two distortion factors to the irregularity of [SbI6]…
Theoretical Studies of the Self Cleavage Pistol Ribozyme Mechanism
2021
AbstractRibozymes are huge complex biological catalysts composed of a combination of RNA and proteins. Nevertheless, there is a reduced number of small ribozymes, the self-cleavage ribozymes, that are formed just by RNA and, apparently, they existed in cells of primitive biological systems. Unveiling the details of these “fossils” enzymes can contribute not only to the understanding of the origins of life but also to the development of new simplified artificial enzymes. A computational study of the reactivity of the pistol ribozyme carried out by means of classical MD simulations and QM/MM hybrid calculations is herein presented to clarify its catalytic mechanism. Analysis of the geometries…
