Metal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have recently gained much popularity due to their tunable, steric, and electronic properties. Applications for such versatile molecules include organocatalysis1 2 3, olefin metathesis4 5 6, sundry cyclization reactions7 8 9, and materials chemistry10 11. Redox active NHCs are of special interest due to their ability to alter the electronic properties of the metal centers they are ligated to.12 In the first chapter, Au(I)-NHC complexes were synthesized and tested for biological activity in human cancer cell lines. Increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cellular systems has proven to be a successful pathway for treating cancer13 14 15. The redox active group in this case was naphthoquinone which contributed to the oxidative stress applied to the tumor cells. Three Au(I)-NHC complexes were synthesized and analyzed structurally utilizing 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and X-ray crystallography. Biological studies including IC50 cell culture lines and cell proliferation analyses were performed to determine the complexes' efficiency and success as a cancer treatment drug. The second chapter describes a theoretical approach to synthesize a redox active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) fused with an iridium-NHC complex to serve as a redox switchable catalyst. The first compound in this synthetic route was successfully synthesized and analyzed structurally with 1H and 13C NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties were also investigated. Tetrathiafulvalene possesses the ability to undergo multiple one electron reversible redox transformations. This unique characteristic paired with the catalytic properties of iridium-NHC could produce a catalyst capable of accessing three or more catalytic species based upon the oxidation state of TTF.
Redox-Active Ligands Authoritative resource showcasing a new family of ligands that can lead to better catalysts and promising applications in organic synthesis Redox-Active Ligands gives a comprehensive overview of the unique features of redox-active ligands, describing their structure and synthesis, the characterization of their coordination complexes, and important applications in homogeneous catalysis. The work reflects the diversity of the subject by including ongoing research spanning coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinspired catalysis, proton and electron transfer, and the ability of such ligands to interact with early and late transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. The book is divided into three parts, devoted to introduction and concepts, applications, and case studies. After the introduction on key concepts related to the field, and the different types of ligands and complexes in which ligand-centered redox activity is commonly observed, mechanistic and computational studies are described. The second part focuses on catalytic applications of redox-active complexes, including examples from radical transformations, coordination chemistry and organic synthesis. Finally, case studies of redox-active guanidine ligands, and of lanthanides and actinides are presented. Other specific sample topics covered include: An overview of the electronic features of redox-active ligands, covering their historical perspective and biological background The versatility and mode of action of redox-active ligands, which sets them apart from more classic and tunable ligands such as phosphines or N-heterocyclic carbenes Preparation and catalytic applications of complexes of stable N-aryl radicals Metal complexes with redox-active ligands in H+/e- transfer transformations By providing up-to-date information on important concepts and applications, Redox-Active Ligands is an essential reading for researchers working in organometallic and coordination chemistry, catalysis, organic synthesis, and (bio)inorganic chemistry, as well as newcomers to the field.
This book presents a comprehensive introduction to the unique and fundamental features of redox-active ligands, the preparation and characterization of their coordination complexes, and finally the importance of this class of molecules to biology, catalysis and materials. The book aims to provide a broadly accessible introduction to the particular features and opportunities unique to redox-active ligands. It begins with an introduction to the intellectual challenges posed by redox-active ligands and descriptions of the types of ligands and complexes in which ligand-centered redox activity are commonly observed. Following this, the book is divided into two sections as follows: The first section focuses on electronic structure and bonding, which has historically dominated this field and continues to be actively researched. The spectroscopic and other physical measurements that have been used to elucidate the electronic structure of these compounds are described. The interplay between synthesis, bonding models, and physical measurements has often been critical in shaping our understanding of these compounds. This interplay is illustrated by a number of case studies. The second section focuses on the use of redox-active complexes in stoichiometric and catalytic reactions. The scope of known reactions is presented, including examples from bioinorganic chemistry (both enzymes and model compounds). Where possible, the significance of the redox-active ligand is discussed, with an eye both to summarizing existing knowledge and pointing out possibilities for future research. This book explains the underpinnings of physical and theoretical techniques of redox-active ligands, providing up to date information on definitions, scope and applications for research scientists and graduate students working in organic and inorganic chemistry, organometallics and coordination chemistry.
Authored by one of the world's leading experts in the field, this treatment of a core topic in coordination chemistry discusses the fundamentals, including the physical properties and chemical reactivity, followed by interesting applications in catalysis and biochemistry. The result is a perfect overview for all newcomers to the field as well as more experienced researchers.
This essential volume comprehensively discusses redox-active therapeutics, focusing particularly on their molecular design, mechanistic, pharmacological and medicinal aspects. The first section of the book describes the basic aspects of the chemistry and biology of redox-active drugs and includes a brief overview of the redox-based pathways involved in cancer and the medical aspects of redox-active drugs, assuming little in the way of prior knowledge. Subsequent sections and chapters describe more specialized aspects of central nervous system injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, pain, radiation injury and radioprotection (such as of brain, lungs, head and neck and erectile function) and neglected diseases (e.g., leishmaniasis). It encompasses several major classes of redox-active experimental therapeutics, which include porphyrins, salens, nitrones, and most notably metal-containing (e.g., Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Sb) drugs as either single compounds or formulations with nanomaterials and quantum dots. Numerous illustrations, tables and figures enhance and complement the text; extensive references to relevant literature are also included. Redox-Active Therapeutics is an invaluable addition to Springer’s Oxidative Stress in Applied Basic Research and Clinical Practice series. It is essential reading for researchers, clinicians and graduate students interested in understanding and exploring the Redoxome—the organism redox network—as an emerging frontier in drug design, redox biology and medicine.
This thesis describes the design, synthesis, properties, and coordination chemistry of redoxactive ligands. This thesis also explores new ways of expanding our ligand systems, in order to improve their binding capacities. We accomplished this by utilizing familiar redox-active moieties and structures to those published previously in our group, but with enhanced topological capacities and predictable structural outcomes. Chapter 1 begins with a general outline of the fundamental principles that govern organic radicals including; their reactivity, their properties and applications, and how these can be applied to the design of ligands for polynuclear assembly. Chapter 2 starts with a brief overview of arylazo ligands and the synthesis of a new hydrazone substituted phenalenol ligand (2.1). In the following section (2.2) we use this ligand to produce homoleptic ligand mixed-valence complexes featuring trivalent cobalt and iron metals. The chapter is concluded (2.3) with the synthesis of a new ditopic aryl-azo ligand and its cobalt coordination chemistry involving a neutral tetra-radical/tetra-nuclear molecular grid featuring valence tautomerism. Chapter 3 begins with the design and synthesis of a new ditopic diamino phenol ligand, which was found to oxidize to a neutral stable phenoxyl radical (3.1-3.2). The solution properties, which include reversible pi-dimerization of this stable radical are also described (3.3), and later the substitution chemistry of this new ligand is explored (3.4). In chapter 4, we describe the coordination chemistry of this new ditopic aminophenol ligand, which includes assembly into several coordination clusters involving copper (4.2), iron (4.3), nickel (4.4), and zinc (4.5). These coordination clusters feature the ligand in a variety of oxidation states; including rare examples of dianion "aminyl" radical clusters. In chapter 5, we begin with a description of a new synthetic derivative which can be used for the construction of larger tetratopic or asymmetric diamino phenol ligands. In 5.2 we describe the synthesis of a tetratopic aminophenol ligand along with its reactivity and aerial oxidation to a tri-phenoxyl radical. In 5.3, we conclude the thesis with the use of an asymmetric diamino phenol ligand and it's Cu(II/III) coordination chemistry, which displayed unique reactivity with molecular oxygen.
