Oxygen Donors (oxygen + donor)
Selected AbstractsOxidation of ,4 - and ,5 -Steroids with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by Porphyrin Complexes of MnIII and FeIIIEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 23 2004Susana L. H. Rebelo Abstract In this paper we describe a new environmentally friendly method to promote the stereoselective epoxidation of ,4 - and ,5 -steroids. Metalloporphyrins efficiently catalyze the epoxidation reactions of 17,-acetoxy-4-androstene (1), 4-cholestene (2) and 3,-acetoxy-5-cholestene (3) in the presence of H2O2 as oxygen donor. Modeling the molecular structure of the porphyrin as well as the central metal allows the control of the preferential formation of ,- or ,-epoxides. Porphyrins with bulky, electron-withdrawing groups in the ortho positions of the meso phenyls and with MnIII as the central metal ion, such as [Mn(TDCPP)Cl], gave preferentially the ,-epoxide of ,4 - and ,5 -steroids. [Fe(TPFPP)Cl] catalyzes preferentially the ,-epoxidation of ,4 -steroids and also increases the stereoselectivity for the ,-epoxide in ,5 -steroids, similar to the results obtained with m -CPBA (m -chloroperbenzoic acid) as oxidant. The substrate structure strongly influences the chemoselectivity of the reactions. The X-ray structures of two main products were determined, and two-dimensional NMR techniques allowed the full assignment of 1H and 13C NMR resonances as well as the stereochemistry of these products. A mechanistic proposal involving oxo species for the ,-approach and peroxy species for the ,-approach is proposed. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The manganese derivative, Mn(III)-TMPyP, activated by an oxygen donor like potassium monopersulfate, provides an efficient DNA-cleaving system. Previous experimental work1 has shown that DNA cleavage by the Mn(III)-TMPyP/KHSO5 system was due to an oxidative attack, within the minor groove of B-DNA, at the C5, or C1, carbons of deoxyribose units. The aim of this study was to use molecular modeling to elucidate the specificity of the interactions between the transient active species oxyl-Mn(IV)-TMPyP and the DNA target. Geometric parameters, charges, and force field constants consistent with the AMBER 98 force field were calculated by DFT methods. Molecular modeling (mechanics and dynamic simulations) were performed for oxyl-(hydroxo)-Mn(IV)-TMPyP bound in the minor groove of the dodecamer d(5,-TCGTCAAACCGC)-d(5,-GCGGTTTGACGA). Geometry, interactions, and binding energy of the metalloporphyrin located at the A.T triplet region of the dodecamer were analyzed. These studies show no significant structural change of the DNA structure upon ligand binding. Mobility of the metalloporphyrin in the minor groove was restrained by the formation of a hydrogen bond between the hydroxo ligand trans to the metal-oxyl and a DNA phosphate, restricting the access of the oxyl group to the (pro-S) H atom at C5,. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The X-ray structure of H5L3 unveils a rare case where one of the diketones is in the enolic form and the other one in the bis(carbonyl) form. This structure is shown by 1H NMR to persist in solution. Reaction of H5L3 with Mn(AcO)2 in pyridine leads to the novel tetranuclear cluster [Mn4(H2L3)2(OAc)2(py)5] (1), which displays an unusual core in form of a zig-zag chain. Bulk magnetic measurements revealed the existence of weak antiferromagnetic coupling within the molecule. Numerical fits to a model described by the Hamiltonian H = ,2J1(S1S2 + S3S4) , 2J2(S2S3) yield coupling constants of J1 = ,2.23 cm,1, J2 = ,0.85 cm,1 and g = 2.08. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Artizzu Abstract Erbium quinolinolates, commonly assumed to be mononuclear species with octahedral co-ordination geometry, have been proposed as promising materials for photonic devices but difficulties in obtaining well defined products have so far limited their use. We report here the conditions to obtain in high yields three different kinds of pure neutral erbium quinolinolates by mixing an erbium salt with 8-quinolinol (HQ) and 5,7-dihalo-8-quinolinol (H5,7XQ: X,=,Cl and Br): i),the trinuclear complex Er3Q9 (1) which is obtained with HQ deprotonated by NH3 in water or ethanol/water mixtures; ii),the already known dimeric complexes based on the unit [Er(5,7XQ)3(H2O)2] [X,=,Cl (2) and Br (3)]; iii) the mononuclear [Er(5,7XQ)2(H5,7XQ)2Cl] [X,=,Cl (4) and Br (5)] complexes, obtained in organic solvents without base addition, where the ion results coordinated to four ligands, two deprotonated chelating, and two as zwitterionic monodentate oxygen donors. These results represent a further progress with respect to a recent reinvestigation on this reaction, which has shown that obtaining pure and anhydrous octahedral ErQ3, the expected reaction product, is virtually impossible, but failed in the isolation of 1 and of the neutral tetrakis species based on H5,7XQ ligands. Structural data provide a detailed description of the molecules and of their packing which involves short contacts between quinoxaline ligands, due to ,,, interactions. Electronic and vibrational studies allow to select the fingerprints to distinguish the different products and to identify the presence of water. The structure/property relationship furnishes a satisfactory interpretation of the photo-physical properties. Experimental evidence confirms that the most important quenchers for the erbium emission are the coordinated water molecules and shows that the ligand emission is significantly affected by the ,,, interactions. [source] Investigation of oxygen incorporation in AlGaN/GaN heterostructuresPHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI (C) - CURRENT TOPICS IN SOLID STATE PHYSICS, Issue 7 2003Ho Won Jang Abstract The unintentional doping of oxygen atoms in undoped AlGaN layers was demonstrated by scanning photoemission microscopy (SPEM) using synchrotron radiation. In-situ annealing at 1000 °C and subsequent SPEM imaging showed that the oxygen concentration in AlGaN was much higher than in GaN. Space-resolved photoemission spectra of O 1s, Ga 3d and Al 2p core levels showed that the predominant oxygen incorporation in AlGaN resulted from the formation of Al,O bonds due to the high reactivity of Al with oxygen. The degenerated AlGaN layer produced by the oxygen donors caused the tunneling-assisted transport of electrons at the interface of the AlGaN with metal contacts and an increase in the sheet carrier concentration at the AlGaN/GaN heterointerface.

Reaction of these C2 -symmetric ligands with various transition-metal acetates in the presence of alkali ions generated distinct polynuclear aggregates 4,8 by diastereoselective self-assembly. Starting from copper(II) acetate monohydrate and depending on the ratio of transition-metal ion to alkali ion to ligand, chiral tetranuclear copper(II) cubanes (C,C,C,C)-[Cu4(L(S,S))2(OMe)4] (4,a,c) or dinuclear copper(II) helicates (P)-[Cu2(L(S,S))2] (5) could be synthesized with square-pyramidal and square-planar coordination geometry at the metal center. In analogy to the last case, with palladium(II) acetate double-stranded helical systems (P)-[Pd2(L(S,S))2] (6,7) were accessible exhibiting a linear self-organization of ligand-isolated palladium filaments in the solid state with short inter- and intramolecular metal distances. Finally, the introduction of hexacoordinate nickel(II) in combination with lithium hydroxide monohydrate and chiral ligand H2L(S,S) (3,a) allowed the isolation of enantiomerically pure dinuclear nickel(II) coronate [(Li,MeOH)2,{(,,,)-Ni2(L(S,S))2(OMe)2}] (8) with two lithium ions in the voids, defined by the oxygen donors in the ligand backbone. The high diastereoselectivity, induced by the chiral ligands, during the self-assembly process in the systems 4,8 could be exemplarily proven by circular dichroism spectroscopy for the synthesized enantiomers of the chiral copper(II) cubane 4,a and palladium(II) helicate 6.
