Paddlewheel complexes of bimetallic scaffolds are emerging metallic agents in the bioinorganic chemistry landscape. In the most commonly employed construct, these complexes are decorated by carboxylate moiety, prompting their possible deployment to target either protein or nucleic acid targets. In this study, density functional investigation was performed to assess viable mechanistic routes for the substitution of one acetate ligand with one chelating purine, i.e. adenine or guanine, in diruthenium and dirhodium tetraacetate paddlewheel complexes. This study evidenced the relevant stages of the process at an atomistic scale of resolution and provided for the encompassed rate-determining chemical events. Therefore, calculations indicated that the acetate decomplexation, as well as the concomitant nucleobase bridging proceeded gradually via a multistep process that included the leaving acetate protonation. The present picture of the mechanism is envisioned to be relevant to the design and interpretation of experiments focused on the reaction of diruthenium and/or dirhodium tetracarboxylate complexes with nucleobases and eventuating in the formation of either nucleobase bridged-complexes or in the dismantling of the bimetallic construct.

Four BODIPY dyes (6a ~ 6d) with electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups at the meso-position were synthesized by Sonogashira coupling reaction of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene with mono-iodo-BODIPY moiety. All compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR and MALDI-TOF MS. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties were studied by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, two-photon excitation spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. These conjugated dyes exhibit interesting photophysical properties such as high molar extinction coefficient, large Stokes shift and high two-photon absorption cross section σ2.

The increasing demand for highly sensitive optical thermometers operating within a wide temperature range necessitates the development of new phosphors. In this work, the potential of temperature sensing performance of a novel yellow-emitting phosphor, Sr2MgWO6 double perovskite, doped with varying concentrations of Dy3+ was investigated for the first time. Increasing the concentration of Dy3+ from 0% to 7% shifted the color of luminescence from blue to yellowish-orange within the CIE1931 color space. The energy transfer efficiency from (WO6)6- to Dy3+ also increased significantly to 98.4%. Moreover, the sample doped with 3% Dy3+ showed the highest emission intensity, with concentration beyond this threshold inducing concentration quenching. This phenomenon was primarily governed by dipole-dipole interactions. The highest quantum yield was found to be 30.7% for the sample doped with 3%Dy3+. Upon 266 nm excitation wavelength, the temperature sensing ability of the samples doped with 3%, 5%, and 7%Dy3+ was examined based on the fluorescent intensity ratio between thermally coupled and uncoupled levels. It showed that the relative thermal sensitivity of Sr can be tuned by changing the Dy3+ concentration. Sr-max = 3.24%K-1 was obtained for the sample doped with 3%Dy3+ at 193 K within the 80 - 273 K operating range for thermally uncoupled levels. For thermally coupled levels, the Sr-max value reached 1.35%K-1 at 333 K for the sample doped with 7%Dy3+ in the range of 293 – 593 K. These results demonstrated the enormous potential of the studied materials for thermal sensing application.

The ethynylation of formaldehyde reaction catalyzed by Cu-based catalysts is an important synthesis method for 1,4-butynediol relating to high value-added chemicals. In this work, a series of CuM/SiO2 ( M=Bi, Mg, Mn ) catalysts were prepared by a deposition-precipitation method and applied in the ethynylation reaction. The effects of different promoters ( Bi, Mg, Mn ) on the catalytic activity were investigated. The relationship between catalyst structure and performance is systematically studied using XRD, TEM, SEM mapping, N2 low- temperature adsorption/desorption, FT-IR, XPS, and TG-DTA characterization analysis. The results show that 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 exhibits the highest 1,4-butynediol yield (70%) and selectivity (97%) after the ethynylation reaction for 7 h. Furthermore, compared with the commercial catalyst, 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 shows similar cyclic stability, 47% yield, and 98% selectivity for 1,4-butynediol after 8 times about 60 h. It is attributed that small CuO particles are uniformly dispersed in 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 with the biggest specific surface area (446.37 m2/g). What’s more, the Cu-Bi interface existing in 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 plays an important role in stabilizing cuprous, not excessively reduced to metallic Cu. Therefore, during the ethynylation reaction, 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 has the most active Cu2C2 and the least polyacetylene by-products. In addition, the richest oxygen vacancies arose in 30Cu2Bi/SiO2 also contribute to the ethynylation of the formaldehyde reaction.

Five complexes of gallium derived from hydroxamic acids have been synthesised, characterised, and their anti-bacterial activity and mammalian cell toxicity established. These are three metal-organic complexes; [Ga(BPHA]3 1, [Ga(BHA-H]3 2, [Ga(SHA-H2)(SHA-H)]3 3, and two heteroleptic organometallic complexes [GaMe2(BPHA)] 4, and [GaMe(BHA-H)2] 5, along with the iron complex [Fe(BPHA)3] 6 (BPHA-H = N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxamic acid, BHA-H2 = phenylhydroxamic acid, and SHA-H3 = salicylhydroxamic acid). Solid-state structures of 1, 4 – 6 were identified by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 6 adopt an octahedral geometry at the metal centre, while the organometallic complexes 4 and 5 adopt, respectively, tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The solution and solid-state chemistry of complex 3 was found to differ: the solution state is composed of an equilibrium mixture of the bis-complexed hydroximate-hydroxamate species and the homoleptic tris-hydroxamate species, with the solid state preferring the bis-complexed hydroximate-hydroxamate composition. The methyl gallium complexes 4 and 5 differed in their preferred composition with 4 forming the expected dimethyl hydroxamate complex while 5 stabilises as the methyl bis-hydroxamate complex. Complexes were tested for the anti-microbial activity against a series of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with an emphasis on the Gram-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae. While the metal-organic complexes 1, 2, 3 and 6 showed little to no activity towards either the bacteria or mammalian cells, the alkyl gallium complexes 4 and 5 were found to have exceptional activity toward K. pneumoniae in RPMI-HS media with MIC values of 78 nM. Interestingly, [GaMe2(OH)] also showed significant activity with an MIC of 156 nM.

The CO releasing ability of the complex [CpMo(CO)3Me] (1) (Cp = η5-C5H5) has been assessed using a deoxymyoglobin-carbonmonoxymyoglobin assay. In the dark, CO release was shown to be promoted by the reducing agent sodium dithionite in a concentration-dependent manner. At lower dithionite concentrations, where dithionite-induced CO release was minimised, irradiation at 365 nm with a low-power UV lamp resulted in a strongly enhanced release of CO (half-life (t1/2) = 6.3 min), thus establishing complex 1 as a photochemically activated CO-releasing molecule. To modify the CO release behaviour of the tricarbonyl complex, the possibility of obtaining inclusion complexes between 1 and β-cyclodextrin (βCD) or cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) by liquid–liquid interfacial precipitation (1@βCD(IP)), liquid antisolvent precipitation (1@CB7), and mechanochemical ball-milling (1@βCD(BM)) was evaluated. All these methods led to the isolation of a true inclusion compound (albeit mixed with nonincluded 1 for 1@βCD(BM)), as evidenced by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopies, and 13C{1H} magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR. PXRD showed that 1@βCD(IP) was microcrystalline with a channel-type crystal packing structure. High resolution mass spectrometry studies revealed the formation of aqueous phase 1 : 1 complexes between 1 and CB7. For 1@βCD(IP) and 1@CB7, the protective effects of the hosts led to a decrease in the CO release rates with respect to nonincluded 1. βCD had the strongest effect, with a ca. 10-fold increase in t1/4 for dithionite-induced CO release, and a ca. 2-fold increase in t1/2 for photoinduced CO release.

To develop stable and efficient silver(I) catalysts and evaluate the role of sulfur and phosphorus donor ligands in the catalytic cycloaddition of selected organic azides and alkynes (AAC), a series of mononuclear Ag(I) and heteronuclear Ag(I)-Fe(II) complexes were synthesized. The synthesis utilized phosphine and sulfur donors from the dialkyldithiophosphate and borate families, specifically Na[S2H2B(mt)2]. These complexes are designated as [(dppf)AgSP(S)(OiPr)2] (1), [S2H2B(mt)2Ag(-dppf)Ag(S2H2B(mt)2] (2), [(dppf)Ag(-dppf)Ag(dppf)] (3), and [(dppe)AgS2H2B(mt)2] (5). The complexes 1-5 were characterized using a combination of 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy, as well as IR spectroscopy techniques. In two instances, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was also employed. Complex 3 exhibited high catalytic activity and regioselectivity in the cycloaddition reaction conducted in water at 40 °C.

The complexes 1-5 were characterized using a combination of 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy, as well as IR spectroscopy techniques. In two instances, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was also employed. Complex 3 exhibited high catalytic activity and regioselectivity in the cycloaddition reaction conducted in water at 40 °C.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we report the synthesis of three indium complexes (1-3) supported by different chelating ligands (L1-L3). The indium metal complexes were characterized by using multinuclear NMR, and their solid-state structures were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The indium complex 1 (5 mol%) effectively reduced nitroarenes in the presence of phenylsilane and NaI. Nitroarenes containing different functionalities were reduced under standard conditions to give the corresponding amines in good yields.

Zinc–air batteries are recognized for their environmental friendliness and high energy density; however, the slow kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the air electrode hinder their commercial viability. The research focuses on synthesizing cubic hollow carbon structures derived from Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which enhance catalytic performance through improved conductivity and mass transfer. The resulting Fe/Fe3C/HCNB catalyst demonstrates a half-wave potential of 0.826 V for ORR and achieves a peak power density of 274 mW cm−2 in zinc–air batteries, surpassing commercial Pt/C catalysts. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy reveals that the hollow structure enhances hydrophilicity and reduces solution resistance, facilitating greater active site engagement in electrochemical reactions. The study concludes that the unique structural features of Fe/Fe3C/HCNB significantly improve discharge performance and stability, positioning it as a promising alternative for zinc–air battery applications.
