New Coordination Modes of L -Ascorbic Acid and Dehydro- L -ascorbic Acid as Dianionic Chelating Ligand for Platinum

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2008
Paola Bergamini
Abstract A variety of coordination modes of L -ascorbic acid as an anionic bidentate ligand has been exploited to prepare platinum(II) complexes 1,7 that contain phosphanes or R,R -dach (1R,2R -diaminocyclohexane) as neutral ligands in which O2, O3, O5, O6 and C2 act as anionic donating functionalities. An alternative synthetic route to known O2,O3 complexes is proposed, and their solubility in water has been enhanced by introducing PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) as a neutral ligand. A new coordination mode of ascorbic acid (O2 and O3 protected) as an O5,O6-diolate chelating ligand has been characterised in solution by NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. The first example of a platinum complex that contains dehydroascorbic acid, 7, has also been prepared and its X-ray crystal structure has been determined. The antiproliferative activity in vitro of complexes 1,7 has been tested, and the best values were obtained for the DHA complex 7, which was found to be more active than cisplatin on both a cisplatin-sensitive and a cisplatin-resistant cell line.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

2,5-Diphenyl-3,4-bis(2-pyridyl)cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-one as a Redox-Active Chelating Ligand

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 22 2004
Ulrich Siemeling Prof.
Abstract 2,5-Diphenyl-3,4-bis(2-pyridyl)cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-one (1), a close relative of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone, is a new ligand platform for use in redox switches and sensors. Compound 1 acts as a molecular electrochemical sensor towards a range of divalent metal ions and exhibits favourable two-wave behaviour. It forms chelates of the type [(1)MX2], whose stability is enhanced by five orders of magnitude upon one-electron reduction. The bite angle of 1 is close to 90° in these complexes. The attachment of the 14-valence-electron Cp*Co fragment to the cyclopentadienone , system reduces the bite angle and thus modulates the binding characteristics of 1. [source]


Enthalpy/Entropy Compensation in the Melting of Thermotropic Nitrogen-Containing Chelating Ligands and Their Lanthanide Complexes: Successes and Failures,,

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 18 2010
Aude Escande
Abstract In this short overview dedicated to the thermodynamics of liquid crystalline chelating nitrogen-containing ligands and their lanthanide complexes (i.e., lanthanidomesogens), we first go through the initial successes obtained with the introduction of the concept of enthalpy/entropy compensation for rationalizing and programming melting and clearing temperatures in thermotropic mesophases. In the second part, the failures encountered during our attempts for switching from a qualitative toward a quantitative interpretation of the melting processes in polycatenar lanthanidomesogens are discussed, together with the delicate correlations established between the thermodynamic parameters of intermolecular cohesion measured in noncoordinating solvents and those operating in pure mesophases.

A Single-Source-Precursor Approach to Late Transition Metal Molybdate Materials: The Structural Role of Chelating Ligands in the Formation of Heterometallic Heteroleptic Alkoxide Complexes

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2006
Pia Werndrup
Abstract The synthesis and structural determination of three new heterometallic molybdenum complexes, one with cobalt and two with nickel and two of these with ,-diketonate ligands and one with amino alcohol ligands, are presented. The reaction of cobalt acetylacetonate with [MoO(OMe)4] provides [Co2Mo2O2(acac)2(OMe)10] (1) and [MoO(acac)(OMe)3] (4),and the reaction of nickel acetylacetonate with [MoO(OMe)4]provides [Ni2Mo2O2(acac)2(OMe)10] (2) and 4. The reaction of [Ni(ORN)2] (RN = CHMeCH2NMe2) with [MoO(OMe)4] yields [Ni2Mo2O2(ORN)2(OMe)10] (3). The two new oxomolybdenum complexes undergo ether elimination upon storage to give the corresponding dioxo complexes [MoO2(acac)(OMe)]2 (5) and [MoO2(ORN)(OMe)]2 (6). Compounds 3 and 4 could also be obtained from the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of Hacac with [MoO(OMe)4] and [MoO2(OMe)2], respectively. The local structure around the nickel atom in compound 2 in solution and compound 3 in the solid state and in toluene/hexane solution has been determined by means of EXAFS spectroscopy. The complexes are intended to be used as single-source precursors, which are attractive in coatings and for the preparation of mesoporous materials; its application for the synthesis of nickel molybdate by sol,gel processing is therefore reported. The oxide material obtained from 3 displays a uniform grain size and a large surface area. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]


Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography without Chelating Ligands: Purification of Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor on Zinc Alginate Beads

BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRESS, Issue 1 2002
Munishwar N. Gupta
Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) is a widely used technique for bioseparation of proteins in general and recombinant proteins with polyhistidine fusion tags in particular. An expensive and critical step in this process is coupling of a chelating ligand to the chromatographic matrix. This chelating ligand coordinates metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+, which in turn bind proteins. The toxicity of chemicals required for coupling and their slow release during the separation process are of considerable concern. This is an important issue in the context of purification of proteins/enzymes which are used in food processing or pharmaceutical purposes. In this work, a simpler IMAC design is described which should lead to a paradigm shift in the application of IMAC in separation. It is shown that zinc alginate beads (formed by chelating alginate with Zn2+ directly) can be used for IMAC. As "proof of concept", soybean trypsin inhibitor was purified 18-fold from its crude extract with 90% recovery of biological activity. The dynamic binding capacity of the packed bed was 3919 U mL -1, as determined by frontal analysis. The media could be regenerated with 8 M urea and reused five times without any appreciable loss in its binding capacity. [source]


A Robust Protein Host for Anchoring Chelating Ligands and Organocatalysts

CHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 4 2008
Manfred T. Reetz Prof. Dr.
Abstract In order to put the previously proposed concept of directed evolution of hybrid catalysts (proteins that harbor synthetic transition-metal catalysts or organocatalysts) into practice, several prerequisites must be met. The availability of a robust host protein that can be expressed in sufficiently large amounts, and that can be purified in a simple manner is crucial. The thermostable enzyme tHisF from Thermotoga maritima, which constitutes the synthase subunit of a bi-enzyme complex that is instrumental in the biosynthesis of histidine, fulfills these requirements. In the present study, fermentation has been miniaturized and parallelized, as has purification of the protein by simple heat treatment. Several mutants with strategically placed cysteines for subsequent bioconjugation have been produced. One of the tHisF mutants, Cys9Ala/Asp11Cys, was subjected to bioconjugation by the introduction of a variety of ligands for potential metal ligation, of a ligand/metal moiety, and of several organocatalytic entities that comprise a flavin or thiazolium salts. Characterization by mass spectrometry and tryptic digestion was achieved. As a result of this study, a platform for performing future directed evolution of these hybrid catalysts is now available.
