As the treatment of effluents containing the antibiotic drug sulfadiazine (SZ) is one of the challenging problems in the field of environmental chemistry, it is essential to determine the concentration of SZ by a rapid and accurate method and then find a suitable method to degrade the assayed products into harmless chemicals. The color of the charge transfer (CT) complexes developed from the reaction of SZ with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ), chloranilic acid (CHL) and picric acid (PA) was used to determine the concentration of SZ at 528, 510 and 410 nm, respectively. The Lambert–Beer's law is obeyed in the ranges of 6.80–68.06, 13.61–136.12 and 6.80–27.22 μg mL\(^{−1}\) for DDQ, CHL and PA complexes. The photolysis of SZ → DDQ in presence of sodium nitrite at 256 nm leads to faster degradation of SZ compared with the control experiments. This was simply spectrophotometrically followed by a decrease in the intensity of the CT band. The effect of some additives such as oxalic acid, and hematite nano particles was studied. For comparison, other π-acceptor reagents such as CHL and PA were used. About 80% of SZ is degraded in 45 min upon the illumination of SZ → DDQ at 256 nm, whereas 90 min is required in the case of CHL and PA to attain the same degradation limit.
A new series of [Pd2(L)4] cages based on photochromic dithienylethene (DTE) ligands allowed us to gain insight into the successive photoswitching of multiple DTE moieties in a confined metallo-supramolecular assembly. Three new X-ray structures of [Pd2(o-L4)4], [Pd2(o-L1)2(c-L1)2] and [Pd2(c-L1)4] (o-L and c-L = open and closed forms of DTE ligands, respectively) were obtained. The structures deliver snapshots of three different combinations of DTE photoisomeric states within the cage, facilitating a comparison of the all-open with the all-closed, and most notably, an intermediate form where open and closed switches co-exist in the same cage. Moreover, a series of spherical anionic borate clusters was introduced in order to study their roles in the light-controllable host–guest chemistry. The binding guests show higher affinities with the flexible open cage [Pd2(o-L1)4] than with the rigid closed cage [Pd2(c-L1)4]. For the [B12F12]2− guest, thermodynamic data obtained from NMR experiments was compared to results from isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).
The rhodium(I) complex [Rh(κ3-P,O,P-Xantphos)(η2-PhC≡CPh)][BArF4] (ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H4) is an effective catalyst for the cis-selective hydroboration of the alkyne diphenylacetylene using the amine-borane H3B·NMe3. Detailed mechanistic studies, that include initial rate measurements, full simulation of temporal profiles for a variety of catalyst and substrate concentrations, and speciation experiments, suggest a mechanism that involves initial coordination of alkyne and a saturation kinetics regime for amine-borane binding. The solid-state molecular structure of a model complex that probes the proposed resting state is also reported, [Rh(κ3-P,O,P-Xantphos)(NCMe)(η2-PhC≡CPh)][BArF4].
Eu\(^{3+}\)-modified carbon dots (C-dots), 3–5 nm in diameter, were prepared, functionalized, and stabilized via a one-pot polyol synthesis. The role of Eu\(^{2+}\)/Eu\(^{3+}\), the influence of O\(_2\) (oxidation) and H\(_2\)O (hydrolysis), as well as the impact of the heating procedure (conventional resistance heating and microwave (MW) heating) were explored. With the reducing conditions of the polyol at the elevated temperature of synthesis (200–230 °C), first of all, Eu\(^{2+}\) was obtained resulting in the blue emission of the C-dots. Subsequent to O\(_2\)-driven oxidation, Eu\(^{3+}\)-modified, red-emitting C-dots were realized. However, the Eu\(^{3+}\) emission is rapidly quenched by water for C-dots prepared via conventional resistance heating. In contrast to the hydroxyl functionalization of conventionally-heated C-dots, MW-heating results in a carboxylate functionalization of the C-dots. Carboxylate-coordinated Eu\(^{3+}\), however, turned out as highly stable even in water. Based on this fundamental understanding of synthesis and material, in sum, a one-pot polyol approach is established that results in H\(_2\)O-dispersable C-dots with intense red Eu\(^{3+}\)-line-type emission.
The Fischer carbene synthesis, involving the conversion of a transition metal (TM)-bound CO ligand to a carbene ligand of the form [=C(OR’)R] (R, R’ = organyl groups), is one of the seminal reactions in the history of organometallic chemistry. Carbonyl complexes of p-block elements, of the form [E(CO)n] (E = main-group fragment), are much less abundant than their TM cousins; this scarcity and the general instability of low-valent p-block species means that replicating the historical reactions of TM carbonyls is often very difficult. Here we present a step-for-step replica of the Fischer carbene synthesis at a borylene carbonyl involving nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon followed by electrophilic quenching at the resultant acylate oxygen atom. These reactions provide borylene acylates and alkoxy-/silyloxy-substituted alkylideneboranes, main-group analogues of the archetypal transition metal acylate and Fischer carbene families, respectively. When either the incoming electrophile or the boron center has a modest steric profile, the electrophile instead attacks at the boron atom, leading to carbene-stabilized acylboranes – boron analogues of the well-known transition metal acyl complexes. These results constitute faithful main-group replicas of a number of historical organometallic processes and pave the way to further advances in the field of main-group metallomimetics.
Herein, we report the facile synthesis of a three-dimensional (3D) inorganic analogue of 9,10-diazido-9,10-dihydrodiboraantracene, which turned out to be a monomer in both the solid and solution state, and thermally stable up to 230 °C, representing a rare example of azido borane with boosted Lewis acidity and stability in one. Apart from the classical acid-base and Staudinger reactions, E−H bond activation (E=B, Si, Ge) was investigated. While the reaction with B−H (9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) led directly to the 1,1-addition on N\(_{α}\) upon N\(_{2}\) elimination, the Si−H (Et\(_{3}\)SiH, PhMe\(_{2}\)SiH) activation proceeded stepwise via 1,2-addition, with the key intermediates 5\(_{int}\) and 6\(_{int}\) being isolated and characterized. In contrast, the cooperative Ge−H was reversible and stayed at the 1,2-addition step.
Herein, the copper-catalyzed borylation of readily available acyl chlorides with bis(pinacolato)diboron, (B\(_{2}\)pin\(_{2}\)) or bis(neopentane glycolato)diboron (B\(_{2}\)neop\(_{2}\)) is reported, which provides stable potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) in good yields from the acylboronate esters. A variety of functional groups are tolerated under the mild reaction conditions (room temperature) and substrates containing different carbon-skeletons, such as aryl, heteroaryl and primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl are applicable. Acyl N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronates can also been accessed by modification of the workup procedures. This process is scalable and also amenable to the late-stage conversion of carboxylic acid-containing drugs into their acylboron analogues, which have been challenging to prepare previously. A catalytic mechanism is proposed based on in situ monitoring of the reaction between p-toluoyl chloride and an NHC-copper(I) boryl complex as well as the isolation of an unusual lithium acylBpinOBpin compound as a key intermediate.
Ten thiosemicarbazone ligands obtained by condensation of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, quinoline-2-carbaldehyde, 2-acetylpyridine, 2-acetylquinoline, or corresponding 2-pyridyl ketones with thiosemicarbazides RNHC(S)NHNH\(_{2}\) and R=CH\(_{3}\), C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\) were prepared in good yield. The reaction of [PdCl\(_{2}\)(cod)] with cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene or K\(_{2}\)[PtCl\(_{4}\)] resulted in a total of 17 Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes isolated in excellent purity, as demonstrated by \(^{1}\)H, \(^{13}\)C, and, where applicable, \(^{195\)Pt NMR spectroscopy combined with CHNS analysis. The cytotoxicity of the title compounds was studied on four human glioblastoma cell lines (GaMG, U87, U138, and U343). The most active compound, with a Pd(II) metal centre, a 2-quinolinyl ring, and methyl groups on both the proximal C and distal N atoms exhibited an EC\(_{50}\) value of 2.1 μM on the GaMG cell lines, thus being slightly more active than cisplatin (EC\(_{50}\) 3.4 μM) and significantly more potent than temozolomide (EC\(_{50}\) 67.1 μM). Surprisingly, the EC\(_{50}\) values were inversely correlated with the lipophilicity, as determined with the “shake-flask method”, and decreased with the length of the alkyl substituents (C\(_{1}\)>C\(_{8}\)>C\(_{10}\)). Correlation with the different structural motifs showed that for the most promising anticancer activity, a maximum of two aromatic rings (either quinolinyl or pyridyl plus phenyl) combined with one methyl group are favoured and the Pd(II) complexes are slightly more potent than their Pt(II) analogues.
A convenient route for the synthesis of the cAAC\(^{Me}\) (cAAC=cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, cAAC\(^{Me}\)=1-(2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl)-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrrolidin-2-ylidene) and cAAC\(^{Cy}\) (cAAC\(^{Cy}\)=2-azaspiro[4.5]dec-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-ylidene) stabilized stibinidenes cAAC\(^{Me}\)⋅SbMes (2a) (Mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and cAAC\(^{Cy}\)⋅SbMes (2b) is reported. A mechanism for the formation of [cAAC\(^{R}\)Cl][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] 1 and cAAC\(^{R}\)⋅SbMes 2 from the reaction of cAAC with the antimony(III) precursor SbCl\(_{2}\)Mes, which proceeds via the isolable intermediate [cAAC\(^{R}\)SbClMes][SbCl\(_{3}\)Mes] (3), is proposed.
A series of unprecedently air-stable (tricyanoboryl)plumbate anions was obtained by the reaction of the boron-centered nucleophile B(CN)\(_{3}\)\(^{2-}\) with triorganyllead halides. Salts of the anions [R\(_{3}\)PbB(CN)\(_{3}\)]\(^{-}\) (R=Ph, Et) were isolated and found to be stable in air at room temperature. In the case of Me\(_{3}\)PbHal (Hal=Cl, Br), a mixture of the anions [Me\(_{4-n}\)Pb{B(CN)\(_{3}\)}\(_{n}\)]\(^{n-}\) (n=1, 2) was obtained. The [Et\(_{3}\)PbB(CN)\(_{3}\)]− ion undergoes stepwise dismutation in aqueous solution to yield the plumbate anions [Et4\(_{4-n}\)Pb{B(CN)\(_{3}\)}\(_{n}\)]\(^{n-}\) (n=1–4) and PbEt\(_{4}\) as by-product. The reaction rate increases with decreasing pH value of the aqueous solution or by bubbling O\(_{2}\) through the reaction mixture. Adjustment of the conditions allowed the selective formation and isolation of salts of all anions of the series [Et\(_{4-n}\)Pb{B(CN)\(_{3}\)}\(_{n}\)]\(^{n-}\) (n=2–4) including the homoleptic tetraanion [Pb{B(CN)\(_{3}\)}\(_{4}\)]\(^{4-}\).
