Interaction of Novel Metal Complexes with DNA: Synthetic and Structural Aspects
2009
Metal ions bind to nucleic acids at various positions. This binding can be modulated by using metal complexes with appropriate ligands. Novel mono- and especially dinuclear metal complexes could be a powerful tool to detect rare, but still physiologically relevant, forms of DNA, e.g. the left-handed Z-DNA. In this review, our recent research activities in this area of bioinorganic chemistry are summarized. A special emphasis is laid on the synthetic challenges that arose upon the synthesis of the polyamine ligands. Further, some rather unusual approaches to elucidate the solution structure of copper bound to guanosine monophosphate with the help of pulsed EPR techniques like ENDOR and HYSC…
A polymeric two-dimensional mixed-metal network. Crystal structure and magnetic properties of {[P(Ph)4][MnCr(ox)3]}
1994
Abstract The mixed-metal ferromagnet {[P(Ph) 4 ][MnCr(ox) 3 ]} n , where Ph is phenyl and ox is oxalate, has been prepared and a two-dimensional network structure, extended by Mn(II)-ox-Cr(III) bridges, has been determined from single crystal X-ray data. Crystal data: space group R 3 c , a = b =18.783(3), c =57.283(24) A, α=β=90, γ=120°, Z =24 (C 30 H 20 O 12 PCrMn). The magnetic susceptibility data obey the Curie-Weiss law in the temperature range 260–20 K with a positive Weiss constant of 10.5 K. The temperature dependence of the molar magnetization exhibits a magnetic phase transition at T c =5.9 K. The structure is discussed in relation to the strategy for preparing molecular based ferr…
Antiferromagnetic Interactions in Copper(II) µ-Oxalato Dinuclear Complexes: The Role of the Counterion
2018
We report the preparation, crystal structure determination, magnetic properties and DFT calculations of five oxalato-bridged dicopper(II) complexes of formula [Cu-2(bpy)(2-)(H2O)(2)(C2O4)](CF3SO3)(2) (1), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(C2O4)](PF6)(2) (2), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(C2O4)](ClO4)(2) (3), [Cu-2(bpy)(2)Cl-2(C2O4)]center dot H2O (4) and [Cu-2(bpy)(2)(NO2)(2)(C2O4)] (5) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and C2O42-= oxalate). Compounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 crystallize in the monoclinic system and 3 crystallizes in the triclinic system. The oxalate ligands in 1-5 adopt the bis-bidentate coordination mode and the two bpy molecules act as terminal ligands. The coordination of the counterions and the surroundings of the copper(II) …
Synthesis, characterization and solid-state photoluminescence studies of six alkoxy phenylene ethynylene dinuclear palladium(II) rods
2015
A rare family of six discrete binuclear [PdCl(PEt3)2] phenylene ethynylene rods with alkoxy side chains (methoxy, ethoxy and heptoxy) have been developed, and their solid-state photoluminescence results have been presented and discussed. The shorter bridging ligands are of the general formula H–CuC– C6H2(R)2–CuC–H, where R = H, OCH3, OC 2H5, and OC7H15, whereas the longer ones are based on H– CuC–C6H4–CuC–C6H2(R)2–CuC–C6H4–CuC–H, where R = OCH3, OC 2H5. These ligands display increasing length in both the main dimension (backbone length) as well as the number of carbons in the side chains (R, alkoxide side chain) that stem from the central phenylene moiety. The X-ray crystal structures of tw…
Insertion reaction of carbon dioxide into Sn-OR bond. Synthesis, structure and DFT calculations of di- and tetranuclear isopropylcarbonato tin(IV) co…
2006
The reaction of carbon dioxide with the stannane nBu2Sn(OiPr)2 and distannoxane [nBu2(iPrO)Sn]2O leads to the selective insertion into one Sn-OiPr bond generating the corresponding nBu2Sn(OiPr)(OCO2(i)Pr) and nBu2(iPrO)SnOSn(OCO2(i)Pr)nBu2 species. Both compounds are characterised by multinuclear NMR, FT-IR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, they adopt a dimeric arrangement with bridging isopropoxy and terminal isopropylcarbonato ligands. The X-ray crystal structure of the dinuclear stannane shows that the Sn2O2 ring and the two Sn-OCO2C fragments are nearby coplanar. The same holds for the ladder-type tetranuclear distannoxane. The dimeric structures are also evi…
Bis(4-methylthio)phenylthiomethane as assembling ligand for the construction of Cu(I) and Hg(II) coordination polymers. Crystal structures and topolo…
2016
International audience; The novel 1D coordination polymer (CP) [{Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu}(mu-L2)(2)] CP2 has been obtained by reaction of the tetrakisthioether p-MeSC6H4SCH2SC6H4SMe-p (L2) with CuBr in a 1: 2 metal-to ligand ratio. In contrast to the previously described CP [{Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu}(mu-L1)(2)] CP1 obtained by reaction of the tetrakisthioether p-MeOC6H4SCH2SC6H4OMe-p (L1) with CuBr, the two independent extended 1D ribbons contain bent Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu units of the butterfly-type with short Cu center dot center dot center dot Cu separations of 2.679(1) and 2.613(1) angstrom. In contrast to the common planar rhomboid Cu(mu(2)-Br)(2)Cu cluster, this butterfly-shaped geometry of the core …
Bis (μ-tetrazolato-NN′) bridged dinuclear nickel(II) Schiff base complexes: Tandem synthesis, structure and self assembly
2015
Abstract Two new bis(μ-tetrazolato-NN′) bridged dinuclear nickel(II) Schiff base complexes [Ni2L12(PTZ)2]·2(CH3)2SO·2.69H2O (1) and 2[Ni2L22(PTZ)2]·3H2O (2) (HL1 and HL2 are Schiff bases, HL1 = 2-((2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)phenol, HL2 = 2-((2-(methylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol and HPTZ is 5-pyrazinyltetrazole) have been synthesized via [3+2] cyclo-addition of 2-cyanopyrazine and sodium azide in presence of nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate and the respective Schiff bases. The structures of the complexes are confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both complexes show fluorescence. The change in the denticity of the Schiff base blocking ligand is shown to …
Asymmetric bis-(μ1,1-azido) bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex with N2O donor Schiff base: synthesis, structure and magnetic study
2015
A copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L)2(N3)2] [where HL = 2-((3-(methylamino)propylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol] has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The complex crystallizes in the trigonal space group R. The deprotonated tridentate Schiff base occupies three coordination sites of copper(II). The fourth coordination site is occupied by an azide. A symmetry-related azide from a different molecule coordinates with the fifth site of copper(II), thereby forming a double end-on azide-bridged centrosymmetric dimer. Variable temperature solid–state magnetic studies between 2 and 300 K were car…
Crystal structure, magnetic and spectroscopic properties of the bis(dimethyl sulfoxide) adduct of tetra-μ-formato-dicopper(II), a new tetracarboxylat…
1994
The crystal and molecular structure of a new tetracarboxylato-bridged copper(II) dimer, the bis(dimethyl sulfoxide)tetrakis(μ-formato)dicopper(II) has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. It crystatlizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a, with Z=8 in a cell of dimensions a=17.688(2), c=10.408(1) Å. The structure is built up of centrosymmetric neutral dimers [Cu2(HCOO)4(dmso)2], where four bidentate carboxylate anions form syn-syn bridges between the metal atoms which are in a 4 + 1 environment. Magnetic susceptibility data show that the copper atoms are strongly antiferromagnetically coupled with J=-434 cm-1. The obtained triplet-singlet energy gap is compared with those reported…
NaI/CuI–II heterometallic cages interconnected by unusual linear 2-coordinate OCN-Cu(I)-NCO links: synthesis, structural, magnetostructural correlati…
2009
A new Na(I)/Cu(I-II) heterometallic coordination complex [Cu(2)L(2)Na(NCO)(2)Cu](n) (1) with an unusual architecture has been synthesised. In 1 cyclic Na-O-Cu-O-Cu cages constructed by the tetradentate N(2)O(2) donor Schiff base ligand (H(2)L = N, N'-bis(2-hydroxyacetophenone) propylenediimine) are interconnected to each other by a rare singly end-to-end bridged OCN-Cu(I)-NCO link generating 1D chain. The complex has been characterised by elemental, spectral and structural analysis. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 has been compared with the analogous complexes. Cryomagnetic susceptibility studies indicate the copper(II) centers in the cyclic Na-O-Cu-O-Cu cages are antiferromagnetically coupled…
