Comparative Studies of Some Novel Cu(II) Polymeric Complexes Derived from Cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L). The Role of Solvents Used on the Structure and Geometry of the Isolated Cu²⁺Complexes

Novel polymeric Cu2+ complexes derived from the reaction of cyanoacetylhydrazine (CAH;L) with CuCl2•2H2O in different solvents were synthesized and characterized. The isolated solid polymeric complexes were investigated using modern conventional physicochemical and spectral (IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis. ESR, Raman), magnetic and thermal studies. The results revealed that CAH behaves in different ways towards the coordination of the Cu2+ ion. The promotion of solvents to the cyano group was discussed on the basis of the solvent and the Cu2+ ion used. Magnetic and spectral studies suggest octahedral geometry is proposed for the Cu2+ complexes. EPR studies indicate the existence of polymeric complexes depending on the results of g-values. The results suggest that the number of copper atoms ranges from three to twelve atoms. The molecular modeling is drawn and some chemical characteristics are calculated such as chemical reactivity and energy components are investigated between the different types of the ligands.

Elimination of GGTA1,CMAH,β4GalNT2 and CIITA genes in pigs compromises human versus pig xenogeneic immune reactions

Background:Pig organ xenotransplantation is a potential solution for the severe organ shortage in clinic,while immunogenic genes need to be eliminated to improve the immune compatibility between humans and pigs.Current knockout strategies are mainly aimed at the genes causing hyperacute immune rejection(HAR)that occurs in the first few hours while adaptive immune reactions orchestrated by CD4 T cell thereafter also cause graft failure,in which process the MHCⅡmolecule plays critical roles.Methods:Thus,we generate a 4-gene(GGTA1,CMAH,β4GalNT2,and CIITA)knockout pig by CRISPR/Cas9 and somatic cell nuclear transfer to compromise HAR and CD4 T cell reactions simultaneously.Results:We successfully obtained 4KO piglets with deficiency in all alleles of genes,and at cellular and tissue levels.Additionally,the safety of our animals after gene editing was verified by using whole-genome sequencing and karyotyping.Piglets have survived for more than one year in the barrier,and also survived for more than 3 months in the conventional environment,suggesting that the piglets without MHCⅡcan be raised in the barrier and then gradually mated in the conventional environment.Conclusions:4KO piglets have lower immunogenicity,are safe in genomic level,and are easier to breed than the model with both MHCⅠandⅡdeletion.

Micellar Effect on Photoinduced Electron Transfer Reactions of Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complexes with Quinones: Effect of CTAB

Photoinduced electron transfer reaction between the excited state ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes and quinones has been investigated in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide using luminescent quenching techniques. The complexes have the absorption and emission maximum in the range 452 - 468 nm and 594 - 617 nm respectively. The static nature of quenching is confirmed from the ground state absorption studies. The association constants for the complexes with quinones are calculated from the Benesi-Hildebrand plots using absorption spectral data. The value of quenching rate constant (kq) is highly sensitive to the nature of the ligand and the quencher, the medium, structure and size of the quenchers. Compared to the aqueous medium, the electron transfer rate is altered in CTAB medium. The oxidative nature of the quenching is confirmed by the formation of Ru3+ ion and quinone anion radical.

IR, electronic, 1H- NMR, 31P-NMR of the complexes are discussed. An octahedral geometry has been tentatively proposed for all these complexes. The new complexes have been tested for the catalytic activity in the reaction of oxidation of alcohols in the presence of N-me- thylmorpholine–N-oxide as co-oxidant. The new complexes were also exhibited antimicrobial investigations.

Two Cu(II)-Nitronyl Nitroxide Complexes Including Cyclic Dimer: Synthesis, Structures and Magnetic Interactions

Using two new flexible and functional nitronyl nitroxide radicals as ligands, two copper (II) complexes {[Cu(hfac)2]3(NITmPhO3Py)2}n (1) and [Cu(hfac)2 (NIToPhO3Py)]2 (2) (NITmPhO3Py = 2-[(3-methoxy-pyridinyl)phen-3-yl]- 4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, NIToPhO3Py = 2-[(3-methoxy-pyridinyl)phen-2-ly]-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone), have been characterized structurally and magnetically. The X-ray crystal analyses showed that complex 1 displayed a chain polymer structure which formed with {[Cu(hfac)2]3(NITmPhO3Py)2}n due to the cross-linking of two cyclic binuclear fragments {[Cu(hfac)2]2(NITmPhO3- Py)2} via the bridging unit [Cu(hfac)2];complex 2 presented a binuclear cyclic structure [Cu(hfac)2]2(NIToPhO3Py)2. The magnetic behaviors of the two complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated. Magnetic studies showed that antiferromagnetic interactions dominated in complex 1, while there existed ferromagnetic interactions between Cu(II) and coordinated NO group in complex 2.

Theoretical Investigation of Ru(II) Complexes as Photosensitizer for Photodynamic Therapy

This work was undertaken to see how Ru II complexes can be suitable for photodynamic therapy through theoretical prediction. For that, four Ru II complexes, α-RuCl2(Azpy)2, , and were used in unrestricted state by providing with no more energy than 2.68 eV. The unrestricted state allows the complex molecule to display each of its electrons in one orbital. All the calculations such as optimization, frequency and TD-DFT calculations were performed at WB97XD/Lanl2dz level. It resulted from this investigation that Ru II complexes are active for both mechanisms suitable for photodynamic therapy in presence or absence of 3O2. Moreover, this reaction was assumed to take place only with Guanine DNA base as demonstrated in literature. Therefore, Guanine is admitted as the base most reacting with ruthenium complexes for photodynamic therapy. This work confirms our prediction regarding metallic complexes that are assumed to be photosensitized in condition that an electron must be isolated to favor the excitation. Nevertheless, Ru II complexes are found suitable for superficial therapy while Ru III must be active for deep therapy.

Synthesis of Branched Polyethylene via Bulky α-Diimine Nickel(II)-Catalyzed Ethylene Chain-Walking Polymerization

The catalysis of olefin polymerization through the chain-walking process is a subject of great interest. In this contribution, the successful synthesis of a Brookhart-type unsymmetrical α-diimine nickel catalyst Ni, which contains both dibenzhydryl and phenyl groups, was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound has a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry at the Ni center, showing pseudo-C2-symmetry. Upon activation with modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), Ni1 exhibits high catalytic activity up to 1.02 × 107 g PE (mol Ni h)−1 toward ethylene polymerization, enabling the synthesis of high molecular weight branched polyethylene. The molecular weights and branching densities could be tuned over a very wide range. The polymerization results indicated the possibility of precise microstructure control, depending on the polymerization temperature. The branching densities were decreased with increasing the polymerization temperature.

含噻吩环的吡啶Ru(II)配合物的电子结构和非线性光学性质

采用密度泛函理论(DFT)B3LYP方法对含有噻吩环的吡啶Ru(II)配合物的电子结构和非线性光学(NLO)性质进行理论研究.结果表明:配合物[RuII(NH3)5L]2+(L为含噻吩环的有机基团)中,配位原子与中心金属离子间没有形成稳定的化学键,但存在较强的供体-受体(D-A)相互作用;NH3被羰基(CO)取代后,Ru-C间形成了稳定的σ-π配键,降低了受体的空轨道能级.噻吩环的增加增大了体系的共轭程度,有利于分子内电荷转移,使配合物的极化率α和一阶超极化率β明显增加.结合配合物的前线分子轨道分析发现,电荷转移过程中,对体系二阶NLO系数贡献较大的是配体内电荷转移(ILCT)和配体间电荷转移(LLCT)跃迁,羰基引入后配体到金属的电荷转移(LMCT)使配合物[RuII(CO)5L]2+比对应的配合物[RuII(NH3)5L]2+的β值增大约7倍.

Theoretical Studies on Structures and Spectroscopic Properties of Highly Efficient Phosphorescent [Ru（terpy）（phen）X]＋ Complexes

The ground and the lowest-lying triplet excited state geometries, electronic structures, and spectroscopic properties of three mixed-ligand Ru（II） complexes [Ru（terpy）（phen）X]＋ （terpy=2,2＇,6＇,2″-terpyridine, phen=l,10-phenanthroline, and X=-C-=CH （1）, X=Cl （2）, X-CN （3）） were investigated theoretically using the density functional theory method. The ground and excited state geometries have been fully optimized at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ and UB3LYP/LanL2DZ levels, respectively. The absorption and emission spectra of the com- plexes in CHaCN solutions were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory with the PCM solvent model. The calculated bond lengths of Ru-C, Ru-N, and Ru-Cl in the ground state agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The highest occupied molecular orbital were dominantly localized on the Ru atom and monodentate X ligand for 1 and 2, Ru atom and terpy ligand for a, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital were π＊（terpy） type orbital. Therefore, the lowest-energy absorptions of 1 and 2 at 688 and 631 nln are attributed to a dyz （Ru）＋Tr/p（X）--π＊ （terpy） transition with MLCT/XLCT （metal-to-ligand charge transfer/X ligand to terpy ligand charge transfer） character, whereas that of 3 at 529 nm is related to a dyz （Ru）＋π（terpy）-π＊ （terpy） transition with MLCT and ILCT transition character. The calculated phosphorescence of three complexes at 1011 nm （1）, 913 nm （2）, and 838 nm （3） have similar transition properties to that of the lowest-lying absorption. It is shown that the lowest lying absorptions and emissions transition character of these Ru（II） complexes can be tuned by changing the electron-withdrawing ability of the monodentate ligand.

Interactions Between Anticancer Pt(II) complexes and Human Erythrocyte Spectrin *

The interactions between human erythrocyte spectrin(SP) and Pt(II) complexes with different composition and configuration were studied by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra. The results showed that there are 4.7×10 2 binding sites of cisplatin(CDDP) in a spectrin tetramer(SPT). Among them, about 70 sites with apparent binding constant K 1】3.47×10 6 were of highest affinity, 1.8×10 2 sites with K 2 = 3.47×10 6 were of high affinity, and other 2.2×10 2 sites with K 3 = 8.77×10 5 were of low affinity. The conformation change of spectrin, depending on the concentration of Pt(II) complex and molar ratio(R) of Pt(II) complex to spectrin, was induced by the binding of Pt(II) complexes. It indicated that the interaction of both CDDP and cis diaquodiamine platinum(DADP) with SP followed a two step first order kinetic process in the first stage (1 h), and the kinetic constants were determined. In the second stage, the induced conformation change, polymerization and depolymerization of SP were probably involved. It was noticed that in the reaction of SP and Pt(II) complexes with 1,2 cyclohexanediammine isomers as chiral carrier ligand, stereo matching played a more important role than the affinity of Pt(II) to thiol groups of SP.

Synthesis, Structure and Physical Properties of a Barium(II) Complex with 5-Sulfoisophthalic Acid Sodium

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）.

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.
