Iodine(I) and Silver(I) Complexes Incorporating 3-Substituted Pyridines
2023
Building upon the first report of a 3-acetaminopyridine-based iodine(I) complex (1b) and its unexpected reactivity toward tBuOMe, several new 3-substituted iodine(I) complexes (2b–5b) have been synthesized. The iodine(I) complexes were synthesized from their analogous silver(I) complexes (2a–5a) via a silver(I) to iodine(I) cation exchange reaction, incorporating functionally related substituents as 3-acetaminopyridine in 1b; 3-acetylpyridine (3-Acpy; 2), 3-aminopyridine (3-NH2py; 3), and 3-dimethylaminopyridine (3-NMe2py; 4), as well as the strongly electron-withdrawing 3-cyanopyridine (3-CNpy; 5), to probe the possible limitations of iodine(I) complex formation. The individual properties …
Self-assembly of square planar rhodium carbonyl complexes with 4,4-disubstituted-2,2′-bipyridine ligands
2020
The impact of non-covalent interactions and reaction conditions on formation and self-assembly of ionic pairs of Rh complexes with 4,4’-disubstituted bipyridine ligands ([Rh(L1)(CO)2][Rh(CO)2Cl2])n (1), [Rh(L1)2Cl2][Rh(CO)2Cl2] (2), ([Rh(L1)(CO)2][Rh(CO)2Cl2][Rh(L1)(CO)2]n([Rh(CO)2(Cl)2])n) (3), ([Rh(L2)CO2] [Rh(CO)2Cl2])n∙EtOH (4), ([Rh(L2)(CO)2])n ([Rh(CO)2Cl2])n (5) (L1 = 4,4’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine, L2 = 4,4’-diamine-2,2’-bipyridine) have been studied. Packing of square planar Rh complexes favor formation of one-dimensional chains. In structure 1, the polymeric chain is formed by the alternating cationic [Rh(L1)(CO)2]+ and the anionic [Rh(CO)2Cl2]- units leading to a neutral pseudo li…
Defying Stereotypes with Nanodiamonds: Stable Primary Diamondoid Phosphines
2016
International audience; Direct unequal C-H bond difunctionalization of phosphorylated diamantane was achieved in high yield from the corresponding phosphonates. Reduction of the functionalized phosphonates provides access to novel primary and secondary alkyl/aryl diamantane phosphines. The prepared primary diamantyl phosphines are quite air stable compared to their adamantyl and especially alkyl or aryl analogues. This finding is corroborated by comparing the singly occupied molecular orbital energy levels of the corresponding phosphine radical cations obtained by density functional theory computations.
Controlling the crystal growth of potassium iodide with a 1,1'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2,2'-biimidazole ligand (L) – formation of a linear [K4I4L4]n …
2018
The crystal growth of potassium iodide was controlled by using the neutral organic 1,1′-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2,2′-biimidazole (L) ligand as a modifier. The selected modifier allows the preservation of original cubic [K4I4] units and their arrangement into a linear ligand-supported 1D chain. The supported [K4I4] cubes are only slightly distorted compared to the cubes found in pure KI salt. The N–K binding of the ligand to the KI salt, as well as weak I⋯H, N⋯H, and N⋯I interactions, stabilizes the structure to create a unique 1D polymer of neutral potassium iodide ionic salt inside the [K4I4L4]n complex.
Synthesis and characterization of Zwitterionic Zn(II) and Cu(II) coordination compounds with ring-substituted 2,2′-biimidazole derivatives
2016
Zwitterionic coordination compounds with strongly asymmetrical charge distribution were synthesized and characterized. Ring-substituted biimidazoles were used as the primary ligands for Zn and Cu compounds. Formation of Zwitterionic coordination compound was found to be strongly dependent on the pH of the reaction medium as well as on the ring and nitrogen substituents of the ligand. Reaction of the Df-R2biim (Df-R2biim = 2,2′-bi-1R-imidazole-5,5′-dicarboxaldehyde, R = Me, Et or Pr) with ZnCl2 in neutral conditions led to binuclear compounds [Zn2Cl4(Df-R2biim)2] with two bridging ligands (1a–c). Reaction with CuCl2·2H2O gave neutral mononuclear compound [CuCl2(Df-Me2biim)] (1d) with chelati…
Thermodynamic and spectroscopic study of the binding of dimethyltin(IV) by citrate at 25°C
2006
Thermodynamic (potentiometric and calorimetric) and spectroscopic ( 1 H NMR, 119 Sn Mossbauer) studies were performed in aqueous solution in order to characterize the interaction of dimethyltin(IV) cation with citrate ligand. Six species {(CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit) - ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit) 2 2- ; (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)H 0 ; (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)OH 2- ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)OH 0 ; [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)(OH) 2 - } were found. All the species formed in this system are quite stable and formation percentages are fairly high. For example, at pH = 7.5 and C (CH3)2Sn = C cit = 10 mmol l -1 , E% for [(CH 3 ) 2 Sn] 2 (cit)(OH) 2 - and (CH 3 ) 2 Sn(cit)OH 2- species reaches 65%. Overall thermodynamic parameters obta…
Pd2Au36(SR)(24) cluster: structure studies
2015
The location of the Pd atoms in Pd2Au36(SC2H4Ph)(24), is studied both experimentally and theoretically. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates oxidized Pd atoms. Palladium K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data clearly show Pd-S bonds, which is supported by far infrared spectroscopy and by comparing theoretical EXAFS spectra in R space and circular dichroism spectra of the staple, surface and core doped structures with experimental spectra.
A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of the Spectroscopic Properties of a DNA-Intercalator Salphen-Type ZnIIComplex
2014
The photophysical and DNA-binding properties of the cationic zinc(II) complex of 5-triethylammonium methyl salicylidene ortho-phenylenediiminato (ZnL 2 + ) were investi- gated by a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. DFT calculations were performed on both the ground and the first excited states of ZnL 2 + and on its possi- ble mono- and dioxidation products, both in vacuo and in selected solvents mimicked by the polarizable continuum model. Comparison of the calculated absorption and fluores- cence transitions with the corresponding experimental data led to the conclusion that visible light induces a two-elec- tron photooxidation process located on the phenylenediimi- nato…
Photodynamics studies of ligand-protected gold nanoclusters by using ultrafast transient infrared spectroscopy
2015
Highly monodisperse samples of three ligand-protected gold nanoclusters Au102(pMBA)44, Au144(SC2H4Ph)60, and a cluster tentatively identified as Au130(pMBA)50, were characterized by UV/vis and infrared spectroscopy, and their photodynamics was studied by transient absorption spectroscopy. The dynamics study for each cluster was performed by electronically exciting the cluster with a pump pulse in the visible or near infrared region and by monitoring the transient absorption of vibrational modes of the ligands with a mid-IR probe pulse. The photodynamics studies were used to determine the molecular or metallic behavior of the cluster, and also to gain important size dependent information abo…

Esta Tesis Doctoral actúa como compendio de síntesis y caracterización de nuevos materiales, generalmente porosos, que presentan el fenómeno de transición de espín (en inglés Spin Crossover, SCO). El principal objetivo de la Tesis Doctoral ha consistido en el diseño de estos nuevos polímeros de coordinación que combinan de forma sincrónica el fenómeno SCO asociado a los centros metálicos de FeII con otras propiedades de interés, siendo la motivación última su futura aplicación en dispositivos espintrónicos. Más concretamente, los esfuerzos sintéticos se han dedicado a la obtención de polímeros de coordinación de tipo Hofmann 2D que presentan: propiedades anfitrión-huésped selectivas, fluore…
