Starting from a previously reported compound, fcBr(PPh2), a series of ferrocene derivatives, fc(PPh2)(B- [OMe]2), [Li(OEt2)][fc(PPh2)(BH3)], [Li(THF)2][fc(PPh2)- (BH[(3,5-Me)2pz]2)] (pz = pyrazole), was isolated and P,B P,B characterized. Compound (fc )Li(THF)2 allowed the synthesis of the corresponding nickel and zinc complexes, (fc )NiCl, (fcP,B)NiMe, (fcP,B)ZnCl, and (fcP,B)ZnMe. All compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, while the zinc and nickel complexes were also characterized by X-ray crystallography. The redox behavior of (fcP,B)NiCl, (fcP,B)NiMe, (fcP,B)ZnCl, and (fcP,B)ZnMe was studied by cyclic voltammetry and supported by density functional theory calculations. ■ INTRODUCTION without exposure to air.

The molecular structures of complexes 1 and 2 were analyzed by theoretical B3LYP/DFT method. Furthermore, in vitro DNA binding studies were carried out to check the ability of complexes 1 and 2 to interact with native calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) using absorption titration, fluorescence quenching and circular dichroism, which is indicative of more avid binding of the complex 1. Moreover, DNA mobility assay was also conducted to study the concentration-dependent cleavage pattern of pBR322 DNA by complex 1, and the role of ROS species to have a mechanistic insight on the cleavage pattern, which ascertained substantial roles by both hydrolytic and oxidative pathways. Additionally, we analyzed the potential of the interaction of complex 1 with DNA and enzyme (Topo I and II) with the aid of molecular modeling. Furthermore, cytotoxic activity of complex 1 was tested against HepG2 cancer cell lines.

No quotation from it should be published without the prior written consent of the author and information derived from it should be acknowledged appropriately. DECLARATION The work described in this thesis was carried out in the Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London, between October 2004 and December 2007. The entire body of work is my own unless otherwise stated to the contrary and has not been submitted previously for a degree at this or any other university. i ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and coordination chemistry of a range of poly(pyrazolyl)borate scorpionate' ligands and examines their suitability in facilitating rapid [11C]carbonylation reactions to form radiotracers for application in positron emission tomography (PET). The synthesis of a series of tris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp) ligands and their corresponding copper(I) carbonyl complexes is described. The copper(I) carbonyls were formed by reaction of potassium Tp salts with copper chloride in the presence of carbon monoxide. The second part of this thesis concerns the use of a copper(I)-Tp system for selectively solubilising "CO from nitrogen-rich gas streams for subsequent use in palladium-catalysed carbonylation reactions between amines and aryl-halides to form amides. These reactions were performed on a microfluidic device and in Schlenk apparatus using unlabelled carbon monoxide.

More recent times has seen their development into new families of so-called soft scorpionates, for example, those featuring sulfur based donors. Despite all of these developments, those ligands containing just one pendant group are rare. This article explores one ligand family based on the 2-mercaptopyridine heterocycle. The coordination chemistry of the monosubstituted ligand, [H3B(mp)]− (mp = 2-mercaptopyridyl), has been explored. (I) Reaction of Na[BH3(mp)] with one equivalent of Cu Cl in the presence of either triphenylphosphine or tricyclohexylphosphine co-ligands leads to the formation of [Cu{H3B(mp)}(PR3)] (R = Ph, 1; Cy, 2), respectively. Structural characterization confirms a κ3-S,H,H coordination mode for the borohydride-based ligand within 1 and 2, involving a dihydroborate bridging interaction (BH2Cu) with the copper centers. Keywords: scorpionate; copper; borohydride; ligand; sulfur 1. Introduction The coordination chemistry of borohydride and substituted borohydride units with transition metals has been a major focus of research over many decades now [1–9].

  • Investigations Into Dianionic Scopionate Ligands and Their Metal Complexes
    Investigations into dianionic scopionate ligands and their metal complexes by Elizabeth Nicole Cooper B.S., Fort Hays State University, 2017 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Chemistry College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Peter E. Sues Copyright © Elizabeth Cooper 2021. Abstract Ligand design helps to define reactivity in coordination complexes and organometallic chemistry. Ligand characteristics greatly influence the reactivity of transition metal complexes and simple changes in the steric or electronic properties of a ligand can drastically affect the activity and selectivity of a catalyst. Scorpionate ligands are an easily tunable and display flexible binding modes in that they can act as bidentate or tridentate donors. In literature scorpionate ligands with charged donors are underrepresented and this is an area with great potential to explore and discover new organometallic complexes with novel reactivity. Inspired by scorpionate ligands and phenolate ligands throughout the literature, a set of eight neutral ligands were synthesized and utilized in the generation of metal complexes. These novel ligands were diphenolate ligands with a nitrogen or oxygen containing tail. The steric hinderance of these structures was varied using the ortho substituents on the phenol groups. The various tails also allowed the binding strength of the ligands to be varied. Studies on the activity of the complexes bearing these scorpionate ligands were performed. The effect of the steric size of the ligands as well as binding strength of the tail were investigated.

  • Rhodium and Iridium Complexes with a New Scorpionate Phosphane
    Rhodium and Iridium Complexes with a New Scorpionate Phosphane Ligand Angel L. Serrano, Miguel A. Casado,* José A. López, and Cristina Tejel* Instituto de Síntesis Química y Catálisis Homogénea (ISQCH), CSIC – Universidad de Zaragoza, Departamento de Química Inorgánica, Pedro Cerbuna 12, 50009-Zaragoza (Spain) Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Antonio Laguna on the occasion of his 65th birthday 1 Abstract. A straightforward synthesis of a new hybrid scorpionate ligand [(allyl)2B(CH2PPh2)(Pz)] ([A2BPN] ) is reported. Coordination to rhodium resulted in square- 2 t planar complexes [Rh( -A2BPN)(L)(L’)] (L = L’= ½ cod (1,5-cyclooctadiene), CN Bu, CO (6); L = CO, L’ = NH3, pyridine, PPh3, PMe3) for which spectroscopic data and the molecular 2 structure of [Rh( -A2BPN)(CO)PPh3] (11) indicate the ligand to be κN,κP-bound to rhodium with two dangling free allyl groups. Studies in solution point out that the six-membered metallacycle undergoes a fast inversion in all of them. The bis(carbonyl) complex 6 easily loses a CO group to give [{Rh(A2BPN)(CO)}2], a dinuclear compound in which two mononuclear subunits are brought together by two bridging allyl groups. Coordination to iridium is dominated by a tripodal κN,κP, 2-C=C binding mode in the TBPY-5 3 t complexes [Ir( -A2BPN)(L)(L’)] (L = L’ = ½ cod (3), CN Bu (5), CO (7); L = CO, L’ = PPh3 (13), PMe3 (14), H2C=CH2, (17), MeO2CC≡CCO2Me (dmad, 18)), as confirmed by the single- crystal structure determination of complexes 3 and 18. A fast exchange between the two allyl arms is observed for complexes having L = L’ (3, 5, and 7), while those having CO and L ligands (14, 17 and 18) were found to be non-fluxional species.

Syntheses and Characterization of a New Cyano-Substituted Bis(pyrazolyl)borate and its Thallium (I) Complex ________________________ A thesis presented to the faculty of the Department of Chemistry East Tennessee State University In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Chemistry ________________________ by Chris Acquah December 2016 ________________________ Dr. Ismail O. Kady, Chair Dr. Cassandra Eagle Dr. Abbas G. Shilabin Keywords: Cyanoscorpionates, Bis pyrazole, Poly(pyrazolyl)borate ABSTRACT Syntheses and Characterization of a New Cyano-Substituted Bis(pyrazolyl)borate and its Thallium (I) Complex by Chris Acquah Scorpionates are versatile and flexible ligands with a wide range of applications including catalysis, C-H bond activation, formation of new class of materials, and mimicking enzymatic reactions. This is as a result of its steric and electronic properties, and due to the relative ease with which the 3, and 5-positions of the pyrazole ring can be functionalized.
