Complexes of the type Ru(phen)(2)L(2+), where L is a substituted bipyridine family member, have been prepared, and their photochemical substitution reactions have been investigated. In the presence of a bis-benzonitrile derivative, acting as a bidentate chelate, photoexpulsion of L is performed under the action of visible light, with quantitative formation of new complexes of the type Ru(phen)(2)L'(2+) (L' = bis-nitrile ligand). Several complexes have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. In particular, the bis-benzonitrile complexes could be crystallized, and the structure of these compounds, containing a 13-, 14-, or 15-membered metal incorporating ring, was obtained. By heating Ru(phen)(2)L'(2+) with a bipy derivative in refluxing ethylene glycol, quantitative formation of the starting complex [Ru(phen)(2)L(2+)] was carried out. The present series of compounds presents properties that could be profitably used in the design and construction of multicomponent systems acting as photochemically driven molecular machines.
Poly(binaphthyl salen manganese complex)es 3-Mn were synthesized from a 3,3'-diformylbinaphthol derivative, alpha,omega-diamines, and Mn(OAc)2. Their helical structures were well-supported by their IR, UV, and CD spectra. The catalysis of 3-Mn in an asymmetric epoxidation was investigated.
Calix[4]arene tethering four chiral five-membered cyclic carbonates 1c was synthesized by O-glycidylation of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene 1a with (R)-glycidyl tosylate, followed by carbonation with carbon dioxide catalyzed by lithium bromide. Porphyrin tethering chiral five-membered cyclic carbonates 2c was similarly synthesized.
