A new crosslinkable light sensitizer, Ru(2,2′-bipyridine- 4,40-bicarboxylic acid)(4,4′-bis(11-dodecenyl)-2,2′-bipyridine)( NCS)2, denoted as Ru-C for titanium oxide nanocrystallinebased solar cells was synthesized with its crosslinking properties invesitigated by Fourier-transform infrared and UV-vis absorption spectroscopies. After crosslinking by itself or copolymerizing with methyacrylic acid, their sensitized solar cells with poly(methylacrylate)-gelled electrolyte system not only attained more than 5% of power conversion efficiency at AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW/cm2), but also gave rise to long storage life. To the best our knowledge, this is the first crosslinkable dye ever applied to the DSSC in the literature.

Carbohydrates are integral to biological signaling networks and cell-cell interactions, yet the detection of discrete carbohydrate-lectin interactions remains difficult since binding is generally weak. A strategy to overcome this problem is to create multivalent sensors, where the avidity rather than the affinity of the interaction is important. Here we describe the development of a series of multivalent sensors that self-assemble via hydrophobic supramolecular interactions. The multivalent sensors are comprised of a fluorescent ruthenium(II) core surrounded by a heptamannosylated β-cyclodextrin scaffold. Two additional series of complexes were synthesized as proof-of-principle for supramolecular self-assembly, the fluorescent core alone and the core plus β-cyclodextrin. Spectroscopic analyses confirmed that the three mannosylated sensors displayed 14, 28, and 42 sugar units, respectively. Each complex adopted original and unique spatial arrangements. The sensors were used to investigate the influence of carbohydrate spatial arrangement and clustering on the mechanistic and qualitative properties of lectin binding. Simple visualization of binding between a fluorescent, multivalent mannose complex and the Escherichia coli strain ORN178 that possesses mannose-specific receptor sites illustrates the potential for these complexes as biosensors.

, p. 1807 - 1811 (2002)
Bipyridine bridged bis(resorcinarenes) have been prepared. Upon co-ordinating to a transition metal ion, e.g. Ag+, the respective metal complex forms a hemicarcerand-like structure with the two resorcinarene moieties capable of binding non-polar organic molecules in a co-operative fashion, as shown qualitatively by NMR spectroscopy.

Protein surface mimetics achieve high-affinity binding by exploiting a scaffold to project binding groups over a large area of solvent-exposed protein surface to make multiple cooperative noncovalent interactions. Such recognition is a prerequisite for competitive/orthosteric inhibition of protein–protein interactions (PPIs). This paper describes biophysical and structural studies on ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) surface mimetics that recognize cytochrome (cyt) c and inhibit the cyt c/cyt c peroxidase (CCP) PPI. Binding is electrostatically driven, with enhanced affinity achieved through enthalpic contributions thought to arise from the ability of the surface mimetics to make a greater number of noncovalent interactions than CCP with surface-exposed basic residues on cyt c. High-field natural abundance 1H,15N HSQC NMR experiments are consistent with surface mimetics binding to cyt c in similar manner to CCP. This provides a framework for understanding recognition of proteins by supramolecular receptors and informing the design of ligands superior to the protein partners upon which they are inspired.

This report describes the design, synthesis, solubility, and electrochemistry of a series of tris-bipyridine chromium complexes that exhibit up to six reversible redox couples as well as solubilities approaching 1 M in acetonitrile. We have systematically modified both the ligand structure and the oxidation state of these complexes to gain insights into the factors that impact solubility and electrochemistry. The results provide a set of structure-solubility-electrochemistry relationships to guide the future development of electrolytes for nonaqueous flow batteries. In addition, we have identified a promising candidate from the series of chromium complexes for further electrochemical and battery assessment.
Probing the limits: Ultraslow diffusion and heterogeneous electron transfers in redox polyether hybrid cobalt bipyridine molten salts
Crooker, Joseph C.,Murray, Royce W.
, p. 3245 - 3252 (2000)
This paper describes microelectrode voltammetry measurements of self-diffusion coefficients and of heterogeneous Co(II/III) electron-transfer rate constants (k°) in undiluted molten salts of three cobalt tris(bipyridine) perchlorate complexes in which the bipyridine ligands are "tailed" with poly(propylene oxide) and poly(ethylene oxide) oligomers. The self-diffusion coefficients are measured with potential step chronoamperometry and range from 10-12 to 10-17 cm2/s, while the quasi-reversible reaction rate constants are measured using cyclic voltammetry and small potential steps and range from 10-7 to 10-12 cm/s. The k° measurements are unusual in that when rate constants become smaller, the reaction remains quasi-reversible, because of concurrently decreasing self-diffusion rates. The measurements are, furthermore, accomplished in the face of uncompensated resistances that range from mega- to gigaohms, which is made possible by the combination of microelectrode properties and small diffusivities. The melt in which self-diffusion and k° values are smallest is at a temperature below its nominal glassing transition and in the regime of molecule-scale diffusion profiles.

A scries of three 4,4′-disubstituted-2,2′-bipyridines and the corresponding mononuclear cis-dichloro palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized None of the ligands show mesomorphisrn. Upon their complexation to Pd(II) the peculiar structural arrangement characterized by intermolecular associations of the new derivatives induces mesogenic properties, confirming the new and exciting role of the coordination chemistry in metal-mediated formation of liquid crystals.

A hydrophilic ligand that contains only C, H, O, and N substituents and uses a 6,6′-bis(1 H -1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine (BTzBP) structural core has been synthesized. The effect of adding water-soluble groups onto extractant ligands has been extensively studied to facilitate the efficient partitioning of 4f and transuranic 5f elements for the treatment of spent nuclear fuel. Soft, N-donor ligands exhibit greater binding affinities for the trivalent actinides over the trivalent lanthanides, making BTzBP ligands an ideal candidate in the search for extractants to be used on an industrial scale. To date, hydrophobic BTzBPs have been shown to exhibit physical and chemical properties that might be conducive to nuclear waste processing conditions. However, hydrophilic BTzBPs have yet to be reported. Herein, we show the synthesis of a hydrophilic BTzBP ligand featuring cationic water solubilizing groups attached to the bipyridal rings.

Histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) have drawn much attention as targets of therapeutic agents. KDM5 proteins, which are Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent demethylases, are associated with oncogenesis and drug resistance in cancer cells, and KDM5-selective inhibitors are expected to be anticancer drugs. However, few cell-active KDM5 inhibitors have been reported and there is an obvious need to discover more. In this study, we pursued the identification of highly potent and cell-active KDM5-selective inhibitors. Based on the reported KDM5 inhibitors, we designed several compounds by strategically merging two fragments for competitive inhibition with α-ketoglutarate and for KDM5-selective inhibition. Among them, compounds 10 and 13, which have a 3-cyano pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one scaffold, exhibited strong KDM5-inhibitory activity and significant KDM5 selectivity. In cellular assays using human lung cancer cell line A549, 10 and 13 increased the levels of trimethylated lysine 4 on histone H3, which is a specific substrate of KDM5s, and induced growth inhibition of A549 cells. These results should provide a basis for the development of cell-active KDM5 inhibitors to highlight the validity of our inhibitor-based fragment merging strategy.

Abstract: Four heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(L1)(L2)(NCS)2] (where L1 = 4,4′-bis[2-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4-ylethenyl]-2,2′-bipyridine (bpbpy) or 4,4′-bis[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-2,2′-bipyridine (dmpbpy); L2 = 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridine (dcbpy) or 4,4′-bis(E-carboxyvinyl)-2,2′-bipyridine (dcvbpy)), were synthesized from a one-pot reaction of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and L1 followed by the addition of the anchoring ligand, L2. From these new heteroleptic ruthenium(II) complexes containing carboxylic acid-functionalized ligands, the tetrabutylammonium salt forms of the ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(L1)(L2)(NCS)2][TBA], were obtained in reasonable yields and applied as dyes in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices. Among the DSSCs fabricated with the [Ru(L1)(L2)(NCS)2][TBA] dyes, a DSSC fabricated with the [Ru(bpbpy)(dcbpy)(NCS)2][TBA] dye exhibited the best power conversion efficiency (η) of 4.27%, while the cells fabricated with other dyes had η between 1.94 and 2.68%.
