Synthesis of New Phenanthroline-Based Heteroditopic Ligands , Highly Efficient and Selective Fluorescence Sensors for Copper(II) Ions

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 21 2006
Peter Comba
Abstract The heteroditopic phenanthroline derivatives 5,6-bis(2-pyridylcarboxamido)-1,10-phenanthroline (H2L1) and 5,6-bis[(4-methoxy-2-pyridyl)carboxamido]-1,10-phenanthroline (H2L2) have been prepared and characterized, together with their luminescent ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(bpy)2(H2L1,2)](PF6)2 and [Ru(H2L1)3](PF6)2 and the corresponding iron(II) complex [Fe(H2L1)3](PF6)2. In these complexes, the metal ion is coordinated by the bidentate phen site of H2L. The luminescence of the ruthenium complexes (,ex = 450 nm, ,em ca. 620 nm) is completely quenched by Cu2+ ions in the micromolar concentration range and, to a lesser extent, by other metal ions. At pH 5, the response of the luminescent sensors is highly Cu2+ -selective. Heterodinuclear complexes [Ru(bpy)2(LM)](PF6)2, [Ru(LM)3](PF6)2, and [Fe(LM)3](PF6)2 have been isolated for M = Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, and Pd2+. It is suggested that M is coordinated to the tetradentate N4 site of L by two deprotonated amide N atoms and two pyridyl groups. This coordination type is confirmed by the EPR spectrum of the compound [RuII(bpy)2(L1CuII)](PF6)2.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]

Efficient Photoinduced Energy Transfer Mediated by Aromatic Homoconjugated Bridges

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 20 2010
Barcina Prof., José Osío
Abstract A new donor,bridge,acceptor (D-B-A) dyad consisting of ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) species separated by an homoconjugated bridge derived from 7,7-diphenylnorbornane [Ir-Nor-Ru]3+ has been synthesised. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of the heterodinuclear complex have been compared with those of the analogous homodinuclear complexes [Ru-Nor-Ru]4+ and [Ir-Nor- Ir]2+ . Transient absorption spectra on the nanosecond and sub-picosecond timescales show, for the first time, that an homoconjugated bridge can mediate efficiently in the photoinduced energy transfer from the iridium(III) to the ruthenium(II) centres according to a Dexter-type mechanism.

The Role of Functionalisation, Asymmetry and Shape of a New Macrocyclic Compartmental Ligand in the Formation of Mononuclear, Homo- and Heterodinuclear Lanthanide(III) Complexes

Abstract The compartmental [1+1] macrocycle H3L, obtained by self-condensation of the formyl precursor 3,3,-(3,6-dioxaoctane-1,8-diyldioxy)bis(2-hydroxybenzaldehyde) with the amine precursor N,N -bis(2-aminoethyl)-2-hydroxybenzylamine, contains one inner ON3O2 Schiff base and one outer O2O4 crown-like chamber. According to the experimental conditions it forms, by a template process, the stable mononuclear complexes Ln(H3L)(Cl)2(CH3COO)·nS·mHCl or [Ln(L)]·nS (Ln = La, Lu, Y, Yb, Er, Dy, Tb, Gd, Eu, Ce) with the lanthanide(III) ion encapsulated in the crown-ether-like and in the Schiff base site. The mononuclear complexes Ln(H3L)(Cl)2(CH3COO)·nS·mHCl, by further complexation with a different lanthanide(III) ion, give rise to the related heterodinuclear complexes [LnLn,(L)(Cl)2(CH3COO)]·nS while the homodinuclear and the heterodinuclear complexes [Ln2(L)](Cl)3·nH2O and [LnLn,(L)](Cl)3·nS could be prepared by a template reaction using the appropriate molar ratio of reactants. Their properties have been studied by using SEM-EDS microscopy, IR and NMR spectroscopy and their compositions confirmed by thermal and ESI-Mass spectrometric analyses. In the heterodinuclear complexes, the site occupancy of the different lanthanide(III) ions was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy in CD3OD or (CD3)2SO , it was found that heterodinuclear complexation occurs in methanol with the smaller lanthanide(III) ion mainly coordinating to the Schiff base site and the larger lanthanide(III) ion to the crown site whereas, in dimethyl sulfoxide, demetalation of the weaker coordinated lanthanide(III) ion into the crown ether chamber occurs with the subsequent formation of mononuclear species in solution. The thermal decomposition of the heterodinuclear complexes forms the related mixed oxides, the stoichiometries and properties of which were determined by SEM-EDS microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction studies (XRD).

A PCP-Pincer RuII,Terpyridine Building Block as a Potential "Antenna Unit" for Intramolecular Sensitization

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2007

Abstract The redox- and photoactive mononuclear complex [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTANa4)]Cl {PCP = [C6H3(CH2PPh2)2 -2,6],; tpy,DTTA4, = 4,-(2,2,:6,,2,-terpyridine)-diethylenetriamine- N,N,N,,N, -tetraacetate} possesses an externally directed, vacant N3O4 polyaminocarboxylate-type binding site that coordinates to lanthanide(III) ions to give the neutral heterodinuclear RuII,LnIII complexes [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Ln(H2O)2] (Ln = Gd3+, Eu3+). The photophysical properties of solutions of the mononuclear complex [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTANa4)]Cl were investigated in MeOH/EtOH (1:4) and compared to those of the solutions of heterodinuclear complexes [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Ln(H2O)2] (Ln = Gd3+, Eu3+). Rigid matrix excitation at 77 K of the ,,* level of the ruthenium chromophore in the [Ru(PCP)(tpy,DTTA)Eu(H2O)2] complex results in a weak europium(III) emission pointing to a transfer of energy from Ru,Eu as a result of the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excited state of the ruthenium component to the luminescent lanthanide ion. The excited state lifetime of the europium complex is 0.2 ms in methanol solution. In deuterated solvents, the lifetime increases to 0.4 ms, which indicates that the process is solvent-dependent as a result of the strongly coordinated molecules of water that are responsible for the quenching in nondeuterated solvents.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
