Their in vitro anti-proliferative activities have shown that ligand L1 is effective against human breast cancer BT-20 and MCF-7 cell lines. At the same time, compound L2 exerts its effect on human prostate cancer PC-3 and human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines respectively.

Herein, we report the systematic study of the interaction between the oxidized form bqdi ligand, tris-(o-benzoquinonediimine) with divalent first-row transition metal series using DFT calculations. The lowest energy structures, bond length, binding energies, frontier molecular orbital analysis, natural bond orbitals, and global reactivity descriptor were calculated using B3LYP/6-311G(d,P) level of theory. The time dependent-DFT at the CAM-B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory was applied to determine the electronic structures and the optical spectra. The theoretical binding trend of the divalent first-row transition metal series is decreasing as follows: Cu >Ti > V > Co > Ni > Fe > Cr > Zn >Mn. Among them, the binding potency of iron (II) by the bqdi ligand was not predominantly sturdy as compared to other first-row divalent transition metal ions. The origin of strong coordination with Fe(II) is attributed to its extra capability to induce covalent coordination of bqdi ligands. The complex exhibited two strong peaks at 370 nm and 452 nm, due to the HOMO-3 to LUMO+1 and HOMO-1 to LUMO transitions, respectively. Natural bond orbital analysis showed that the major interaction happens between the N lone pair electrons of the ligand with an anti-bonding orbital of metal ions, in which Ti showed the highest interaction energy than other metal ions. The present systemic DFT study of bqdi ligands with the first-row transition metals strongly encourages the future establishment of photochemical hydrogen production in absence of photosensitizers.展开更多

文摘An alkaline earth metal-organic framework [Ba(Hsip)(H2O)4]n (1, NaH2sip = 5-sulfoisophthalic acid sodium) has been constructed, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In complex 1, each Ba(II) atom coordinates to one ligand Hsip3- and four water molecules with a distorted nine-coordinated monocapped tetragonal antiprism geometry. Each Hsip2- anion acts as a μ3-bridging ligand, in which two carboxylate groups adopt the same bidentate chelating coordinating model and the sulfonate group takes a monodentate coordinating model, resulting in a wave-like two-dimensional network with a (6, 3) topological structure. The two-dimensional networks are further linked by O–H···O to form a three-dimensional structure. Luminescent property and thermal stability of complex 1 are investigated. 1 belongs to the orthorhombic system, space group Pna21 with a = 7.3333(2), b = 16.7044(3), c = 10.4817(2), Z = 4, V = 1283.99(5)3, Mr = 453.58, Dc = 2.346 g/cm3, F(000) = 880, μ = 3.314 mm–1, the final R = 0.0261 and wR = 0.0592 for 2425 observed reflections with I 2σ(I).
文摘Oxygenation constants and thermodynamic parameters DeltaH degrees and DeltaS degrees of cobalt (II) complexes with bis-(furaldehyde) Schiff bases (1, 2, 3, 4)were obtained by mearsuring saturated dioxygen uptake of these complexes in pyridine at different temperature. These complexes could activate molecular oxygen and were used as catalysts in cyclohexene oxidation. The influence of ligand structure on the dioxygen affinity and catalytic activity of the complexes were discussed.

The final R = 0.0429 and wR = 0.0843 for 5682 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Each copper(II) atom displays a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with two nitrogen atoms of one chelate 2,2?-bipy molecule, two oxygen atoms from two different bridging carboxylate groups of Hpht- and one bridging chloride atom occupying the apical position. The two copper(II) atoms are connected by a μ2-Cl atom and two bridging Hpht- ligands in a syn-syn coordination mode to form an isolated dinuclear unit. The molecular structure is extended to a one-dimensional wavy chain through hydrogen bonds. The title complex exhibits blue fluorescent emission at 443 nm (λex = 372 nm) in the solid state at room temperature.

文摘The activities of the catalytic hydrolysis of phosphate diester (BNPP) [bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate diester] and plasmid DNA (pUC 18) by mononuclear macrocyclic polyamine metal complexes have been investigated in this paper. The results showed that the highest activity in hydrolysis of BNPP was obtained with le--Zn(II) complex (composed of lipophilic group) as catalyst. The hydrolysis rate enhancement is up to 3.64 × 10^4 fold. These metal complexes could effectively promote the cleavage of plasmid DNA (pUC18) at physiological conditions.

文摘Various novel double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts were successfully prepared by modifying the central metal (M) and one of cyanide ion (CN-) in Zna[M(CN)b]c complex. Such modifications have significant impact on the catalytic efficiency as well as the polymer selectivity for the reaction of PO/CO2. Zn-Ni(Ⅱ) DMC is a potential catalyst for alternating copolymerization of PO/CO2,and DMC catalysts based on Zn3[Co(CN)5X]2 (X = Br^- and N3^-) exhibit moderate efficiency for the production of polycarbonates.This research presents the preliminary exploration of novel DMC complex via chemical modification of its central metal and ligand.
文摘Metal (Me=Fe(III), Mo(VI), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II)) 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes (MeHNT) were synthesized and used as mimic-enzyme catalysts to mimic the active group of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The results showed that Fe-HNT, Mo-HNT are effective catalysts, which have similar catalytic activity as HRP. The sequence of catalytic activities of tested biomimic peroxidas is Mo-HNT > Fe-HNT > Zn-HNT > Ni-HNT > Mn-HNT. Among them, Fe-HNT is used as a mimic-enzyme catalyst in determination of ascorbic acid and glucose by coupling the catalytic reaction of glucose oxidase.
