Protonation of anion radicals of 1,2-,1,3- and 1,4-dinitrobenzenes in dichloromethane in the temperature range 0, 5, 10 and 15 °C has been investigated by cyclic voltammetric method. Glassy carbon electrode and hanging mercury drop electrode are used as working electrodes. Benzoic acid and salicylic acid are used as protonating agents. Homogeneous rate constant is calculated by using Nicholson and Shain equation. The position of nucleophilic attack in dinitrobenzenes has been investigated by calculation of charge densities using MNDO and SCF-UHF molecular orbital methods. The heterogeneous rate constant ks,h for the first reduction process in dinitrobenzenes is determined by digital simulation of the cyclic voltammograms.

Oxidovanadium(IV) complexes, [VO(acac)(L)Cl] (1), [VO(cur)(L)Cl] (2), and [VO(scur)(L)Cl] (3) {acac = acetylacetonate, cur = curcumin monoanion, scur = diglucosylcurcumin monoanion, L = 11-(9-acridinyl)dipyrido[3, 2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (acdppz)}, were prepared and characterized. The complexes are non-electrolytic in DMF and 1:1 electrolytic in aqueous DMF. The one-electron paramagnetic complexes showed a d-d band near 725 nm in aqueous DMF and green emission near 520 nm in aqueous DMSO. The complexes exhibited an irreversible VIV/VIII redox response near-0.85 V versus SCE in aqueous DMF. The complexes showed good binding strengths to calf thymus DNA (Kb: 3.1×105-9.6×105 M -1) and efficient pUC19 DNA photocleavage activity in red light of 705 and 785 nm by singlet oxygen (1O2) pathway. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibited significant photocytotoxicity (IC50: 0.1-1.0 μM) in visible light (400-700 nm) with low dark toxicity (IC 50: >20 μM) in HeLa and HaCaT cells. Complex 3 was cytotoxic in both light and dark. DNA ladder formation experiments indicated cell death via apoptotic pathway. Confocal microscopy done with 1 and 2 revealed primarily cytosolic localization of the complexes with significant presence of the complex in the mitochondria as evidenced from the imaging data using mitotracker red.

Ternary oxidovanadium(IV) complexes of curcumin (Hcur), dipicolylamine (dpa) base, and its derivatives having pendant noniodinated and di-iodinated boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety (L1 and L2, respectively), namely, [VO(dpa)(cur)]ClO4 (1), [VO(L1)(cur)]ClO4 (2), and [VO(L2)(cur)]ClO4 (3) and their chloride salts (1a-3a) were prepared, characterized, and studied for anticancer activity. The chloride salts were used for biological studies due to their aqueous solubility. Complex 1 was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The complex has a VO2+ moiety bound to dpa ligand showing N,N,N-coordination in a facial mode, and curcumin is bound in its mono-anionic enolic form. The V-O(cur) distances are 1.950(18) and 1.977(16) ?, while the V-N bond lengths are 2.090(2), 2.130(2), and 2.290(2) ?. The bond trans to V=O is long due to trans effect. The complexes are stable in a solution phase over a long period of time of 48 h without showing any apparent degradation of the curcumin ligand. The diiodo-BODIPY ligand (L2) or Hcur alone showed limited solution stability in dark. The emissive BODIPY (L1) containing complex 2a showed preferential mitochondrial localization in MCF-7 cells in cellular imaging experiments. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was studied by MTT assay. The BODIPY complex 3a showed excellent photodynamic therapy effect in visible light (400-700 nm) giving IC50 values of 2-6 μM in HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells, while being less toxic in dark (～100 μM). The cell death was apoptotic in nature involving reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mechanistic data from pUC19 DNA photocleavage studies revealed photogenerated ROS as primarily 1O2 from the BODIPY moiety and ·OH radicals from the curcumin ligand.

[Pt(cur)(NH3)2](NO3) (1), a curcumin-bound cis-diammineplatinum(II) complex, nicknamed Platicur, as a novel photoactivated chemotherapeutic agent releases photoactive curcumin and an active platinum(II) species upon irradiation with visible light. The hydrolytic instability of free curcumin reduces upon binding to platinum(II). Interactions of 1 with 5′-GMP and ct-DNA indicated formation of platinum-bound DNA adducts upon exposure to visible light (λ=400-700 nm). It showed apoptotic photocytotoxicity in cancer cells (IC50≈15 μM), thus forming OH, while remaining passive in the darkness (IC50>200 μM). A comet assay and platinum estimation suggest Pt-DNA crosslink formation. The fluorescence microscopic images showed cytosolic localization of curcumin, thus implying possibility of dual action as a chemo- and phototherapeutic agent.

Quaternary onium salts of halides can be efficiently converted into the corresponding quaternary onium salts of various anions [NO3 -, BF4-, PF6-, CF 3SO3-, CH3SO3 -, ClO4-, p-CH3C6H 4SO3-, CF3CO2 -, 2,4-(NO2)2C6H3O -] by treating the onium halide with trimethyl phosphate under neat condition in the presence of an equivalent amount of conjugate acid of the desired anion.

body text, p. 1887 - 1892 (2011/07/30)
The dissociation of 14 ionophores, namely, seven symmetrical (C1 to C7) and five asymmetrical quaternary ammonium perchlorates and two tetraalkylammonium picrates (all with linear hydrocarbon chains), in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one was studied at 25 °C (εr = 12.92) using the conductance method. The values of the association constants of the quaternary ammonium cation, Ct+, with ClO4- vary from (7.4 ± 0.3) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetramethylammonium to (2.4 ± 0.1) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetrahexyl- and tetraheptylammonium; a distinct dependence on the size of the Ct+, especially for symmetrical cations, is evident. The values of the limiting molar conductivities Λ0/S·mol-1·cm2 vary from 122.8 to 90.0 (± 0.7). The plot of Λ0 versus the reciprocal cube root of the total van der Waals volume of the cations, V Ct-1/3, is close to linear up to tetrapentylammonium and hexadecyltrimethylammonium, while for larger cations (with 21 to 28 carbon atoms) the Λ0 values stay practically constant. At the same time, symmetrical and asymmetrical cations with the same VCt values possess equal mobility.
Replacement of imidazoles by azide at an iron(III) porphyrin center: Part 1 replacement of N-methylimidazole in bis-(N-methylimidazole) tetraphenylporphyrinato iron(III)

Addition of tetra-n-butylammonium azide to acetone solutions of the tetraphenylporphyrinato iron(III) complex [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)2] +N-3 formed in situ from the reaction of N-methylimidazole and [Fe(TPP)N3] afforded equilibrium amounts of [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)2]+ and [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)N3]. Equilibrium experiments made using a range of known concentrations of added tetra-n-butylammonium azide and N-methylimidazole using stopped-flow apparatus gave an estimate of about 50 for the equilibrium constant for the formation of [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)N3] from the addition of azide to [Fe(TPP)(MeIm) 2]+. Kinetic studies indicated that the substitution of azide ion by N-methylimidazole is a dissociative process, and the results were interpreted using a stationary state approach in which [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)] + was the transient intermediate that discriminated in favor of the reaction with azide as opposed to the reaction with N-methylimidazole by about a factor of two. Loss of N-methylimidazole from [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)2] + is at least 50 times faster than that from the product [Fe(TPP)(MeIm)N3]. Using calculated values of free azide concentrations from experimentally determined ion-pair formation constants led to success in rationalizing results obtained under different conditions.

The complexes cis-, (where N2O2 = tetradentate dianionic open-chain ligands of acacen, salen or benacen-type; acac = 2,4-pentadionate anion) undergo photoredox reactions under the influence of ultraviolet radiation giving rise to Co(II).The quantum yield values of the Co(III) reduction, associated with the oxidation of the acac ligand, depend on the periphery (substituents R) of the N2O2-ligands and the wavelength of incident light.The complexes are luminescent from their intraligand excited states.In acetonitrile solution the complexes exhibit an electrochemical oxidation response (Epa : 0.86 to 1.02 V vs SCE) of primarily ligand oxidation origin.A linear correlation has been obtained between the anodic peak potential, Epa and the inductive parameter, ?/ of the substituents R.The electrochemical reduction of the complexes was poorly resolved or missing within the solvent limit.

Trinuclear complexes of the type 2 (X = Cl, Br, I, or C6F5; SC4H8 = tetrahydrothiophene) (1)-(4) have been prepared from trans- and NBu4 (molar ratio 1:2).The SC4H8 ligands act as the single bridge between the central platinum atom and the two terminal ones.Attempts to prepare similar trinuclear complexes with singly bridging halide ligands failed since the reaction between trans- (py = pyridine) and NBu4 (molar ratio 1:2) does not take place, while trans- or (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene), under similar conditions, yield cis- and 2 or and 2 respectively.The trinuclear derivatives (1) and (3) react with neutral ligands L to give different mononuclear complexes, depending on the ligand L: when L = PPh3, NBu4 and cis-; when L = CO, NBu4 and trans-.The molecular stucture of 2 has been established by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.The compound forms triclinic crystals in the space group P1/, with Z = 1 and unit-cell dimensions a = 12.463(3), b = 12.487(3), c = 15.137(3) Angstroem, α = 85.68(15), β = 66.04(2), and γ = 87.04(1) degree.The structure was refined to R = 0.048 and R' = 0.048.The central platinum atom in the trinuclear anion (2-) lies on a crystallographic centre of symmetry and is bonded to two Cl atoms and two S atoms (from two SC4H8 ligands), the latter acting as bridging ligands between the central and the terminal Pt atoms.
