Soluble Heterometallic Coordination Polymers Based on a Bis-terpyridine-Functionalized Dioxocyclam Ligand
2010
Soluble homo- and heterometallic coordination polymers containing transition metal cations (Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), and Ni(2+) ions) were prepared in a two-step procedure using a polytopic bis(terpyridine)dioxocyclam ligand 1H(2) (dioxocyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-5,7-dione). These supramolecular systems incorporate two different metal complexes, the metal cations being located both between two terpyridine units and in the macrocyclic framework. The characterization of these soluble architectures was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, mass spectrometry, viscosimetry, and UV-vis absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. Our results clearly indicate t…
Encapsulation and solid state sequestration of gases by calix[6]arene-based molecular containers
2017
Two calix[6]arene-based molecular containers were synthesized in high yields. These containers can encapsulate small guests through a unique "rotating door" complexation process. The sequestration of greenhouse gases is clearly demonstrated. They can be stored in the solid state for long periods and released via dissolution of the inclusion complex.
Single Enantiomer’s Urge to Crystallize in Centrosymmetric Space Groups: Solid Solutions of Phenylpiracetam
2017
A detailed thermochemical and structural study of the phenylpiracetam enantiomer system was performed by characterizing the solid solutions, rationalizing the structural driving force for their formation, as well as identifying a common structural origin responsible for the formation of solid solutions of enantiomers. Enantiomerically pure phenylpiracetam forms two enantiotropically related polymorphs (enant–A and enant–B). The transition point (70(7) °C) was determined based on isobaric heat capacity measurements. Structural studies revealed that enant–A and enant–B crystallize in space groups P1 (Z′ = 4) and P212121 (Z′ = 2), respectively. However, pseudoinversion centers were present res…
Oxoanion binding to a cyclic pseudopeptide containing 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole moieties
2016
A macrocyclic pseudopeptide 3 is described featuring three amide groups and three 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole units along the ring. This pseudopeptide was designed such that the amide NH groups and the triazole CH groups converge toward the cavity, thus creating an environment well suited for anion recognition. Conformational studies in solution combined with X-ray crystallography confirmed this preorganisation. Solubility of 3 restricted binding studies to organic media such as 5 vol% DMSO/acetone or DMSO/water mixtures with a water content up to 5 vol%. These binding studies demonstrated that 3 binds to a variety of inorganic anions in DMSO/acetone including chloride, nitrate, sulfat…
Asymmetric Synthesis of Spiro β-Lactamsviaa Squaramide- Catalyzed Sulfa-Michael Addition/Desymmetrization Protocol
2016
An efficient asymmetric synthesis of spirocyclohexenone β-lactams bearing three contiguous stereocenters has been achieved in moderate to good yields and high stereoselectivities. The protocol involves the combination of a squaramide-catalyzed sulfa-Michael addition under desymmetrization via a dynamic kinetic resolution of racemic 2,5-cyclohexadienones.
Variable Cooperative Interactions in the Pressure and Thermally Induced Multistep Spin Transition in a Two-Dimensional Iron(II) Coordination Polymer
2020
Two types of experiments conducted to investigate the effect of pressure on the spin crossover (SCO) properties of the 2D Fe(II) coordination polymer formulated {Fe[bipy(ttr)2]}n are reported, namely, (1) magnetic measurements performed at variable temperature and at fixed pressure and (2) visible spectroscopy at variable pressure and fixed temperature. The magnetic experiments carried out under a hydrostatic pressure constraint of 0.04, 0.08, and 0.8 GPa reveal a two-step spin transition behavior. The characteristic critical temperatures of the spin transition are shifted upward in temperature as pressure increases. The slope of the straight-line of the Tc vs P plot, dTc/dP, is 775 K/GPa a…
Water-Soluble Squaramide Dihydrates: N-Methylation Modulates the Occurrence of One- and Two-Dimensional Water Clusters through Hydrogen Bonding and D…
2018
Water confined in molecular size domains is distinct to bulk water. The altered interactions between adjacent water molecules, and between water molecules and molecular wall components of the confinement system, determine aspects of important phenomena in material science, biology, and nanotechnology. The structural determination of confined water, however, has proven to be challenging. Here, we describe the crystal structures of three related squaramides 1–3 whose molecular structures are modulated by the gradual incorporation of N-methyl groups to the squaramide moiety. The three squaramides differ in their hydrogen bonding capabilities due to the different degree of N-methylation of each…
Hexanuclear manganese(III) single-molecule magnets based on oxime and azole-type ligands
2019
Abstract Two novel hexanuclear manganese(III) complexes belonging to the Mn6 family of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), of formulae [Mn6(μ3-O)2(H2N-sao)6(bta)2(EtOH)6]·2EtOH·4H2O (1) and [Mn6(μ3-O)2(H2N-sao)6(pta)2(EtOH)6]·4EtOH (2) [H2N-saoH2 = salicylamidoxime, bta = 1,2,3-benzotriazolate anion, pta = 5-phenyl-tetrazolate anion], have been synthesized and characterized structurally and magnetically. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic system with space group P 1 ¯ (1 and 2). In their crystal packing, adjacent Mn6 complexes are connected through non-coordinating solvent molecules, which are H-bonded to N atoms of azole rings and –NH2 groups of salicylamidoxime ligand. The study of t…
Functionalized phosphonates as building units for multi-dimensional homo- and heterometallic 3d-4f inorganic-organic hybrid-materials.
2016
Using the multifunctional ligand H4L (2,2'-bipyridinyl-5,5'-diphosphonic acid), a new family of inorganic-organic hybrid-materials was prepared. The ligand shows a very high flexibility regarding the coordination mode, leading to a large structural diversity. The compounds 1a, 1b ([M(H2L)(H2O)4]·2.5H2O; M = Co(2+) (a), Ni(2+) (b)), 2 ([Gd2(H2H'L)2(H2H'2L)(H2O)6]Cl4·14H2O), 3a, 3b, 3c ([MCo(iii)(H2L)3(H2O)2]·6.5H2O; M = Gd(3+) (a), Dy(3+) (b) and Tb(3+) (c)), and 4 ([GdNi(ii)(H2L)3(H2O)3]NaCl·6H2O) were isolated and characterized with single crystal X-ray diffraction. Depending on the used metal ions and on the stoichiometry, either discrete entities (0D), extended 2D layers or 3D frameworks…
6-Polyamino-substituted quinolines: synthesis and multiple metal (CuII, HgIIand ZnII) monitoring in aqueous media
2019
Chemoselective palladium-catalyzed arylation of polyamines with 6-bromoquinoline has been explored to prepare chelators for the detection of metal cations in aqueous media. The introduction of a single aromatic moiety into non-protected polyamine molecules was achieved using the commercially available Pd(dba)2/BINAP precatalyst to afford nitrogen chelators, in which the aromatic signalling unit is directly attached to the polyamine residue. Water-soluble receptors were then synthesized using N-alkylation of these polyamines by hydrophilic coordinating residues. By combining rich photophysical properties of the 6-aminoquinoline unit with a high coordination affinity of chelating polyamines a…
