- Synthesis of tetranuclear rhenium(i) tricarbonyl metallacycles
-
Re(i) tricarbonyl complexes have received much attention due to their attractive photochemical, electrochemical, and biological properties. Beyond simple mononuclear complexes, multinuclear assemblies offer greater structural diversity and properties. Despite previous reports on the preparation of di-, tri-, or tetranuclear Re(i) tricarbonyl assemblies, the synthesis of these supramolecular structures remains challenging due to overall low yields or tedious purification protocols. Herein, the facile preparation and characterization of tetranuclear Re(i) tricarbonyl metallacycles with a square geometry is reported using a tetrazole-based ligand. The synthesis of the metallacycle was optimized using different metal precursors, solvents, temperatures, and reagent concentrations. Finally, the scope of suitable tetrazole-based ligands was explored to produce several tetranuclear Re(i) tricarbonyl-based metallacycles. This journal is

- Effect of heterocycle content on metal binding isostere coordination
-
Bioisostere replacement is a core concept in modern medicinal chemistry and has proven an invaluable strategy to address pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic limitations of therapeutics. The success of bioisostere replacement is often dependent on the scaffold that is being modified (i.e., "context dependence"). The application of bioisostere replacement to a picolinic acid fragment was recently demonstrated as a means to expand a library of metal-binding pharmacophores (MBPs) to modulate their physicochemical properties, while retaining their metal binding and metalloenzyme inhibitory activity. Here, metal binding isosteres (MBIs) with different nitrogen-containing heteroarenes is explored. This resulted in a number of new MBIs that were evaluated for their physicochemical properties and metal binding features. It was observed that the coordination behavior of an MBI is dependent on the identity and arrangement of the heteroatoms within each heteroarene. To further understand the observed coordination chemistry trends, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed. Theory indicates that preferences in coordination geometry are largely determined by the electronic character of the heteroarene scaffold. These results provide important insights into the development of novel MBI scaffolds that can serve to broaden the scope of scaffolds for metalloenzyme inhibitor development.

- The synthesis of tetrazoles in nanometer aqueous micelles at room temperature
-
A newly developed nonionic amphiphile (GPGS-1500), a diester composed of a Guerbet alcohol (2-octyldodecan-1-ol), poly(ethylene glycol) 1500 (PEG 1500), and succinic acid esters, has been prepared as an effective nanomicelle-forming species for the synthesis of tetrazoles in water at room temperature. We have designed a new nonionic amphiphile (GPGS-1500) for the synthesis of tetrazoles in water at room temperature. The reaction conditions were optimized, and the size of the micelles formed by GPGS-1500 in water was measured by dynamic light scattering. Copyright
