The ligand mn15S5 was synthesized for the first time and characterized by X-ray diffraction. With silver(I) perchlorate and silver(I) tetrafluoroborate it forms the chiral complexes [Ag(mn15S5)]ClO4·CH3NO2 (2) and [Ag(mn15S5)]BF4·CH3NO2·0.25H2O (3) with half-sandwich moieties. AgI is located in a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, involving three sulfur atoms of the crown cycle and a fourth one of the adjacent half-sandwich moiety, forming a helical structure. The reaction of Hg(ClO4)2 with mn13S4 yielded the dinuclear complex [Hg2(mn13S4)3](ClO4)4 (4) containing two half-sandwich moieties with a third ligand molecule as a bridging unit. Mercury(II) chloride and mercury(II) iodide react with mn12S4 and mn13S4 to form complexes of the general composition [HgX2(L)] (X = Cl, I; L = mn12S4, mn13S4): [HgCl2(mn12S4)] (5), [HgI2(mn12S4)] (6), [HgCl2(mn13S4)] (7) or [HgX2(L)2] (X = I; L = mn13S4): [HgI2(mn13S4)2] (8). Only one or two sulfur atoms of the ligand are involved in the complexation, and chain or ribbon structures are formed. In these compounds the HgX2 units (X = Cl, I) are preserved, coordinated by sulfur atoms of bridging mn12S4 or mn13S4 ligands. In all complexes of this type, the metal atoms are not coordinated inside the cavity, but in an exocyclic mode, because the diameter of the macrocycle is too small. Additionally, the PtCl2 complex of mn12S4 was investigated, where PtII is coordinated in an exocyclic mode forming the complex [PtCl2(mn12S4)] (9). Two of the four sulfur atoms of the macrocycle are bonded to the metal giving together with both chlorine atoms a square-planar coordination geometry. Together with a long-range interaction with a further sulfur atom of the macrocycle a square-pyramidal coordination environment is formed.}, language = {de} } @article{KammerKellingBaieretal.2009, author = {Kammer, Stefan and Kelling, Alexandra and Baier, Heiko and Mickler, Wulfhard and Dosche, Carsten and Rurack, Knut and Kapp, Andreas and Lisdat, Fred and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {2,11-dialkylated 1,12-diazaperylene copper(I) complexes : first supramolecular column assemblies by pi-pi stacking between homoleptic tetrahedral metal complexes, exhibiting low-energy MLCT transitions}, issn = {1434-1948}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.200900695}, year = {2009}, abstract = {2,11-Dialkylated 1,12-diazaperylenes (alkyl = Me, Et, iPr) dmedap, detdap and dipdap have been synthesized by reductive cyclization of 3,3-dialkylated 1,1-biisoquinolines 3a-c, resulting in the first copper(I) complexes of a large- surface ligand.

Influence of spacer length between sulphoxide and matrix (ethylene, hexamethylene), substitution of sulphoxide (R-1: ethyl, hexyl, phenyl) and bead size of PS-DVB (spherical beads: d(50) < 155 mu m, d(50) < 80 mu m; powder: d(50) < 30 mu m) on adsorption was investigated subjected to acidity. Experimental results showed that ethyl substituted sulphoxide immobilised onto ground PS-DVB and hexamethylene spacer exhibited best adsorption properties. Different kinetic models and isotherms were fitted to the experimental data to identify extraction mechanism. Pt-IV was quantitative sorbed at [HCl] <= 0.1 mol/L whereas Ru-III and Ru-IV sorption ranged between 90\% and 95\% at [HCl] 5 mol/L. Desorption was reached using a solution of 0.5 M thiourea (Tu) in 0.1 M HCl at 90 degrees C. Separation of Pt-IV and Rum occurred at [HCl] <= 0.1 mol/L whereas Pt-IV was extracted and Ru-III remained in solution. A further separation was achieved by extracting Pt-IV and Ru-IV at 5 M HCl followed by sequential elution of Pt-IV with concentrated HCl and Ru-IV with 0.5 M Tu in 0.1 M HCl at 90 degrees C. 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Suitable crystals for the X-ray analysis of the complexes 4 and 6 were obtained. It was shown that 6 has a shorter NHC-palladium bond than the IMes complex 4. The difference of the palladium carbene bond lengths based on the higher pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes in comparison to IMes. Thus, (CN)(2)IMes should stabilize the catalytically active central palladium atom better than IMes. As a measure for the pi-acceptor strength of (CN)(2)IMes compared to IMes, the selone (CN)(2)IMes center dot Se (7) was prepared and characterized by Se-77-NMR spectroscopy. The pi-acceptor strength of 7 was illuminated by the shift of its Se-77-NMR signal. The Se-77-NMR signal of 7 was shifted to much higher frequencies than the Se-77-NMR signal of IMes center dot Se. Catalytic experiments using the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of aryl chlorides with n-butyl acrylate showed that 6 is the superior performer in comparison to 4. Using complex 6, an extensive substrate screening of 26 different aryl bromides with n-butyl acrylate was performed. Complex 6 is a suitable precatalyst for para-substituted aryl bromides.

Fluorescence lifetime measurements in the absence and presence of K+ revealed bi-exponential decay kinetics with similar lifetimes, however with different proportions changing the averaged fluorescence decay times ((f(av))). For 1 a decrease of (f(av)) from 12.4 to 9.3ns and for 2 an increase from 17.8 to 21.8ns was observed. Variation of the substituent in ortho position of the aniline unit of the N-phenylaza-18-crown-6 host permits the modulation of the K-d value for a certain K+ concentration. For example, substitution of H in 1 by the isopropoxy group (2) decreased the K-d value from >300mm to 10mm. 2 was chosen for studying the efflux of K+ from human red blood cells (RBC).

Therefore, highly K+/Na+-selective ionophores have to be developed. Herein, we obtained in a sequence of only four synthetic steps a set of K+-responsive fluorescent probes 4, 5 and 6. In a systematic study, we investigated the influence of the alkoxy substitution in ortho position of the aniline moiety in -conjugated aniline-1,2,3-triazole-coumarin-fluoroionophores 4, 5 and 6 [R=MeO (4), EtO (5) and iPrO (6)] towards the K+-complex stability and K+/Na+ selectivity. The highest K+-complex stability showed fluoroionophore 4 with a dissociation constant K-d of 19mm, but the K-d value increases to 31mm in combined K+/Na+ solutions, indicating a poor K+/Na+ selectivity. By contrast, 6 showed even in the presence of competitive Na+ ions equal K-d values (K-d(K+)=45mm and K-d(K+/Na+)=45mm) and equal K+-induced fluorescence enhancement factors (FEFs=2.3). Thus, the fluorescent probe 6 showed an outstanding K+/Na+ selectivity and is a suitable fluorescent tool to measure physiological K+ levels in the range of 10-80mm in vitro. Further, the isopropoxy-substituted N-phenylaza[18]crown-6 ionophore in 6 is a highly K+-selective building block with a feasible synthetic route.}, language = {en} }
