Spectroscopic Evaluation of the Molecular Structures of di-μ-Chlorobis(1,5-Cyclooctadiene) Iridium (I) and Rhodium (I) Complexes

Vibrational and H-NMR spectroscopic studies on di-μ-chlorobis(1,5-cyclooctadiene) of iridium(I) and rhodium (I) complexes have been carried out. In addition, the two D2h and D2 structures for both complexes have been fully optimized. It was expected from the single-molecule vapor-phase density functional theory (DFT) calculation that the D2 structure is more stable by 5 - 6 kcal/mol. While spectroscopic analysis study confirms that in the solid phase, the two complexes retain the higher D2h symmetry. The vibrational wavenumbers of certain modes associated to free 1,5-cyc- looctadiene were observed to be shifted to lower values upon coordination with rhodium or iridium metals. It was also found theoretically that the metal-olefin interaction is slightly more pronounced for iridium metal.

Synthesis, characterization, and stability of iron (III) complex ions possessing phenanthroline-based ligands

It has previously been demonstrated that phenanthroline-based ligands used to make gold metallotherapuetics have the ability to exhibit cytotoxicity when not coordinated to the metal center. In an effort to help assess the mechanism by which these ligands may cause tumor cell death, iron binding and removal experiments have been considered. The close linkage between cell proliferation and intracellular iron concentrations suggest that iron deprivation strategies may be a mechanism involved in inhibiting tumor cell growth. With the creation of iron (III) phen complexes, the iron binding abilities of three polypyridal ligands [1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (methylphen), and 2,9-di-sec-butyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (sec-butylphen)] can be tested via a competition reaction with a known iron chelator. Therefore, iron (III) complexes possessing all three ligands were synthesized. Initial mass spectrometric and infrared absorption data indicate that iron (III) tetrachloride complex ions with protonated phen ligands (RphenH+) were formed: [phenH][FeCl4], [methylphenH][FeCl4], [sec-butylphenH][FeCl4]. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to monitor the stability of the complex ions, and it was found that the sec-butylpheniron complex was more stable than the phen and methylphen analogues. This was based on the observation that free ligand was observed immediately upon the addition of EDTA to the [phenH][FeCl4] and [methylphenH] [FeCl4] complex ions.

Reaction obeyed first order dependence with respect to and [Cr(III)], and the rate of reaction increases with increasing of pH for the range 3.40 - 4.45. Experimentally, the mechanism of this reaction is found to be consistent with the rate law in which the hydroxo species, [CrIII(NTA)(Ala)(OH)]2- is considerably much more reactive than their conjugate acid. ΔH* and ΔS* have been calculated. It is proposed that electron transfer occurs through an inner-sphere mechanism via coordination of to chromium(III).

Review on the study of Nonlinear Optics of Iridium Metal Organic Complex

Nonlinear optical materials are one of the key research objects in the field of optics, which mainly research the nonlinear effects of the interaction between luminesce and matter. Compared with inorganic nonlinear optical materials, organic nonlinear materials have outstanding advantages: strong adaptability, high flexibility, low cost, easy modification and damage resistance. In this review, the electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH) experimental technology is used to measure and research the nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. And because of its structural diversity, people can design molecules according to their needs to get the best nonlinear optical response. Organic molecules with large nonlinear coefficients should have the following characteristics: asymmetric charge distribution, the delocalized nature of π electrons, and easy polarization by external electric fields, and a large π conjugated system. In recent years, metal organic compounds have become a leader in the field of optics, mainly because of their very good nonlinear optical properties. In the future, people will do more investigation on the nonlinearity of metal organic complexes. Researchers have shown great interest in iridium metal organic complexes due in particular to their attractive stability and nonlinear activity. This review mainly studies the nonlinear principle, performance test and Measurement of nonlinearity of iridium metal complexes. The nonlinear properties of other metal-metal organic complexes will not be discussed.

FERROMAGNETICALLY COUPLED Gd(III)Cu(II)Gd(III)TRINUCLEAR COMPLEXES

Three new heterotrinuclear complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely {[Gd(L)(2)](2)[Cu(pbaOH)]}(ClO4)(4), where pbaOH denotes 2-hydroxy-1,3-propylenebis(oxamato), L stands for 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO2-phen) or 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of ([Gd(phen)(2)(ClO4)](2)[Cu(pbaOH)])(ClO4)(2) has been studied in the 4-300K range, giving the exchange integral J = 6.69 cm(-1). This indicates a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) and gadolinium(III) ions.

Optoelectronic properties of new functionalized heteroleptic iridium complex

A new functionalized heteroleptic iridium complex coordinated with 1-phenylisoquinoline(1-piq) and a functionalized β-diketone(G1),Ir(1-piq)2G1,was synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR,mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.The larger conjugation of the replacement of acetylacetone(acac) by a functionalized β-diketonate ligand led to a significant decrease in the HOMO level toward vacuum level,while Ir(1-piq)2G1 and Ir(1-piq)2(acac) showed red phosphorescent emissions of about 620 nm in dichloromethane solution.The phosphorescent polymer light-emitting devices were achieved,with the complexes incorporated with polyfluorene(PFO) as a host polymer doped with 30% of 5-(4-biphenylyl)-2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole(PBD) as electron transport material.The energy transfer mechanism of the devices was also discussed.The lower EL performance of Ir(1-piq)2G1 is ascribed to the inter-ligand energy transfer,indicating that it is important to control the energy level of the cyclometalated and ancillary ligands.

Kinetics on Thermal Decomposition of Iron(III) Complexes of 1,2-Bis(Imino-4’-Antipyrinyl)Ethane with Varying Counter Anions

A comparative thermal decomposition kinetic investigation on Fe(III) complexes of a antipyrine Schiff base ligand, 1,2-Bis(imino-4’-antipyrinyl)ethane (GA)), with varying counter anions viz. CIO4-, NO3-, SCN-, Cl-, and Br-, has been done by thermogravimetric analysis by using Coats-Redfern equation. The kinetic parameters like activation energy (E), pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (ΔS) were quantified. On comparing the various kinetic parameters, lower activation energy was observed in second stage as compared to first thermal decomposition stage. The same trend has been observed for pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (ΔS). The present results show that the starting materials having higher activation energy (E), are more stable than the intermediate products, however;the intermediate products possess well-ordered chemical structure due to their highly negative entropy of activation (ΔS) values. The present investigation proves that the counter anions play an important role on the thermal decomposition kinetics of the complexes.

These studies showed that the reactions are successives producing several species influenced by the concentrations ratio. The electronics spectrum of all solutions showed a band in 457 nm with variable molar absorptivity (ε).

Immp2l Mutation Induces Mitochondrial Membrane Depolarization and Complex Ⅲ Activity Suppression after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Mice

Objective We previously reported that mutations in inner mitochondrial membrane peptidase 2-like(Immp2l)increase infarct volume,enhance superoxide production,and suppress mitochondrial respiration after transient cerebral focal ischemia and reperfusion injury.The present study investigated the impact of heterozygous Immp2l mutation on mitochondria function after ischemia and reperfusion injury in mice.Methods Mice were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion for 1 h followed by 0,1,5,and 24 h of reperfusion.The effects of Immp2l^(+/−)on mitochondrial membrane potential,mitochondrial respiratory complex III activity,caspase-3,and apoptosis-inducing factor(AIF)translocation were examined.Results Immp2l^(+/−)increased ischemic brain damage and the number of TUNEL-positive cells compared with wild-type mice.Immp2l^(+/−)led to mitochondrial damage,mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization,mitochondrial respiratory complex III activity suppression,caspase-3 activation,and AIF nuclear translocation.Conclusion The adverse impact of Immp2l^(+/−)on the brain after ischemia and reperfusion might be related to mitochondrial damage that involves depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential,inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory complex III,and activation of mitochondria-mediated cell death pathways.These results suggest that patients with stroke carrying Immp2l^(+/−)might have worse and more severe infarcts,followed by a worse prognosis than those without Immp2l mutations.
