In the title compound, [Ni(C28H18N2O2)], the NiII centre has a square-planar coordination geometry in which the Schiff base ligand acts as a cis - O,N,N,,O,-tetradentate ligand. The crystal structure is built up of centrosymmetric dimer units stacked into chains along the [010] direction. Adjacent chains associate via C,H...O hydrogen bonding only, leading to a two-dimensional sheet-like structure consisting of layers parallel to (10). The cofacial dimeric complex contains an Ni...Ni contact of 3.291,(4),Å. [source]

In the title compound, [Pt(C18H15N2)Cl], the PtII centre adopts a distorted square-planar coordination geometry due to the pincer-type monoanionic N,C,N tridentate ligand. The planar complexes stack via,,, interactions to form two-dimensional accumulated sheets. This packing pattern is in contrast to that in related pincer-type N,C,N complexes, which exhibit a one-dimensional columnar stacking. [source]

The title compound, [PdPtCl(C3H5)(C6H10N2S2)(C17H14NP)]·CHCl3, was obtained by deprotonation of the initial platinum(II) complex of the di­thio­xamide and subsequent reaction with [Pd(,3 -C3H5)(,-Cl)]2. Both metal atoms exhibit a square-planar coordination geometry, with the two planes forming a dihedral angle of 21.7,(2)°. The di­thio­xamide bis-chelating bridge is flat. [source]

Characterization of copper binding to the peptide amyloid-,(1,16) associated with Alzheimer's disease

BIOPOLYMERS, Issue 1 2006

Abstract Amyloid-, peptide (A,) is the principal constituent of plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is thought to be responsible for the neurotoxicity associated with the disease. Copper binding to A, has been hypothesized to play an important role in the neruotoxicity of A, and free radical damage, and Cu2+ chelators represent a possible therapy for AD. However, many properties of copper binding to A, have not been elucidated clearly, and the location of copper binding sites on A, is also in controversy. Here we have used a range of spectroscopic techniques to characterize the coordination of Cu2+ to A,(1,16) in solution. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry shows that copper binds to A,(1,16) at pH 6.0 and 7.0. The mode of copper binding is highly pH dependent. Circular dichroism results indicate that copper chelation causes a structural transition of A,(1,16). UV-visible absorption spectra suggest that three nitrogen donor ligands and one oxygen donor ligand (3N1O) in A,(1,16) may form a type II square-planar coordination geometry with Cu2+. By means of fluorescence spectroscopy, competition studies with glycine and L -histidine show that copper binds to A,(1,16) with an affinity of Ka , 107M,1 at pH 7.8. Besides His6, His13, and His14, Tyr10 is also involved in the coordination of A,(1,16) with Cu2+, which is supported by 1H NMR and UV-visible absorption spectra. Evidence for the link between Cu2+ and AD is growing, and this work has made a significant contribution to understanding the mode of copper binding to A,(1,16) in solution. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Enantiospecific Syntheses of Copper Cubanes, Double-Stranded Copper/Palladium Helicates, and a (Dilithium),Dinickel Coronate from Enantiomerically Pure Bis-1,3-diketones,Solid-State Self-Organization Towards Wirelike Copper/Palladium Strands,

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 5 2008

Abstract Enantiomerically pure, vicinal diols 1 afforded in a two-step synthesis (etherification and subsequent Claisen condensation) chiral bis-1,3-diketones H2L(S,S) (3,a,c) with different substitution patterns. 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.
