Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled CHIRAL IRON PYRIDINE COMPLEXES AND RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES WITH N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE AND MACROCYCLIC(N, O) DONOR ATOM LIGANDS: SYNTHESIS, CATALYTIC ACTIVITY AND BIOLOGICAL STUDIES Submitted by Lam Kar Yee For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in April 2016 Transition metal complexes are widely applied as catalysts for organic transformation reactions such as the oxygen atom and nitrene transfer reactions and there is a growing interest to develop the medicinal applications of transition metal complexes. The studies of reactive metal-oxo and metal-nitrene intermediates are important in probing the underlying reaction mechanisms. This thesis is comprised of three main parts. In the first part, iron complexes with chiral pyridine ligands, such as 4′,6-disubstituted 2,2′ 6′,2″-terpyridine (NNN ) and 4′,6,6″-trisubstituted 2,2′ 6′,2″''-terpyridine (NNN ), were studied for their catalytic activities in asymmetric epoxidation, aziridination, amidation and sulfimidation reactions. The Fe-NNN complex catalyzed intermolecular nitrene transfer/CN bond formation reactions of styrenes with PhINTs in moderate product yields. For the asymmetric intramolecular amidation, the Fe-NNN complex can catalyze intramolecular C-N bond formation using PhI(OAc) as oxidant to form five- or six-membered ring products. The highest product yield obtained was 91 %. The complete conversion of para-substituted phenyl methyl sulfides to corresponding sulfimides was observed by using the Fe-NNN 1 2 complex as catalyst. Both the Fe-NNN and Fe-NNN complexes catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation of styrene using PhIO as oxidant at 0 C. The reaction intermediates of the nitrene/oxygen transfer reactions were studied by ESI-MS and high-valent iron-ligand multiple bonded species are proposed to be the reaction intermediates. In the second part, ruthenium pincer N-heterocyclic carbene (CNC) complexes were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic means and X-ray crystallography. II 2+ Complex [Ru (CNC)(bpy)(MeCN)], in which the CNC ligand adopts a fac-coordination mode and contains reactive CH bond of bridging methylene group, was found to react with PhINTs to result in the formation of a new CN bond and cleavage of one existing NC(methylene) bond of the CNC ligand, as revealed by X-ray crystal structure determination of the ruthenium complex product. The reaction 2+ of [Ru(CNC)(bpy)(MeCN)] with PhINTs was monitored by ESI-MS, UV-vis, and NMR spectroscopy; a paramagnetic Ru(III)-amido complex was isolated, which apparently resulted from intramolecular imido/nitrene CH insertion of a Ru(IV)-imido/nitrene intermediate and was found to undergo the observed CN bond cleavage. Such type of CN bond cleavage induced by metal-mediated imido/nitrene insertion is unprecedented in literature. The final part of this thesis is the study of the anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic properties of the ruthenium complexes. Ruthenium complexes with different oxidation states (+2 and +3) and ligands (pincer NHC and macrocyclic (N, O) donor atom ligands) were examined for their cytotoxicity and anti-angiogenesis activity. III Among the complexes studied, [Ru (N O )Cl ]Cl (Ru-1) displays promising 2 2 2 inhibi

Anion recognition plays a critical role in a range of biological processes, and a variety of receptors and carriers can be found throughout the natural world. Chemists working in the area of supramolecular chemistry have created a range of anion receptors, drawing inspiration from nature as well as their own inventive processes. This book traces the origins of anion recognition chemistry as a unique sub-field in supramolecular chemistry while illustrating the basic approaches currently being used to effect receptor design. The combination of biological overview and summary of current synthetic approaches provides a coverage that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. First, the authors detail the key design motifs that have been used to generate synthetic receptors and which are likely to provide the basis for further developments. They also highlight briefly some of the features that are present in naturally occurring anion recognition and transport systems and summarise the applications of anion recognition chemistry. Providing as it does a detailed review for practitioners in the field and a concise introduction to the topic for newcomers, Anion Receptor Chemistry reflects the current state of the art. Fully referenced and illustrated in colour, it is a welcome addition to the literature.
In this book leading experts have surveyed major areas of application of NHC metal complexes in catalysis. The authors have placed a special focus on nickel- and palladium-catalyzed reactions, on applications in metathesis reactions, on oxidation reactions and on the use of chiral NHC-based catalysts. This compilation is rounded out by an introductory chapter and a chapter dealing with synthetic routes to NHC metal complexes.
This book is designed to be of use to the reader in two different ways. First, it is intended to provide a general introduction to all aspects of iron chemistry for readers from a variety of different scientific backgrounds. It has been written at a level suitable for use by graduates and advanced undergraduates in chemistry and biochemistry, and graduates in physics, geology, materials science, metallurgy and biology. It is not designed to be a dictionary of iron compounds but rather to provide each user with the necessary tools and background to pursue their ,individual interests in the wide areas that are influenced by the chemistry of iron. To achieve this goal each chapter has been written by a contemporary expert active in the subject so that the reader will benefit from their individual insight. Although it is generally assumed that the reader will have an understanding of bonding theories and general chemistry, the book is well referenced so that any deficiencies in the reader's background can be addressed. The book was also designed as a general reference book for initial pointers into a scientific literature that is growing steadily as the understanding and uses of this astonishingly versatile element continue to develop. To meet this aim the book attempts some coverage of all aspects of the chemistry of iron, not only outlining what understanding has been achieved to date but also identifying targets to be aimed at in the future.
Summarizing the emerging field of N-heterocyclic carbenes used in organocatalysis, this is an excellent overview of the synthesis and applications of NHCs focusing on carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. Alongside comprehensive coverage of the synthesis, characteristics and applications, this handbook and ready reference also includes chapters on NHCs for polymerization reactions and natural product synthesis.

Pincer complexes are formed by the binding of a chemical structure to a metal atom with at least one carbon-metal bond. Usually the metal atom has three bonds to a chemical backbone, enclosing the atom like a pincer. The resulting structure protects the metal atom and gives it unique properties.The last decade has witnessed the continuous growth in the development of pincer complexes. These species have passed from being curiosity compounds to chemical chameleons able to perform a wide variety of applications. Their unique metal bound structures provide some of the most active catalysts yet known for organic transformations involving the activation of bonds. The Chemistry of Pincer Compounds details use of pincer compounds including homogeneous catalysis, enantioselective organic transformations, the activation of strong bonds, the biological importance of pincer compounds as potential therapeutic or pharmaceutical agents, dendrimeric and supported materials.* Describes the chemistry and applications of this important class of organometallic and coordination compounds* Covers the areas in which pincer complexes have had an impact* Includes information on more recent and interesting pincer compounds not just those that are well-known
