    Le laboratoire de Chimie Organique et Photochimie de l’UniversitĂ© Libre de Bruxelles s’intĂ©resse depuis de nombreuses annĂ©es aux complexes de mĂ©taux de transition comportant des ligands polyazaaromatiques, ces derniers pouvant ĂȘtre utilisĂ©s afin de dĂ©velopper de nouveaux outils molĂ©culaires capables d’effectuer des transferts d’énergie ou d’électrons photo-induits.Afin de dĂ©velopper des complexes de mĂ©taux de transition aux propriĂ©tĂ©s innovantes, nous avons rĂ©alisĂ©, dans le cadre de notre mĂ©moire, des essais de synthĂšse d’un nouveau ligand polyazaaromatique :le 9,11,20,22-tĂ©traazatĂ©trapyrazino[2,3-a:2’,3’-c:2”,3”-l:2’”,3’”-n]pentacĂšne-10,21-quinone (tatpzpq). Ce ligand ditopique devrait permettre de prĂ©parer des complexes dinuclĂ©aires de ruthĂ©nium (II) qui sont Ă©tudiĂ©s dans le cadre du transfert d’électrons.Pour mettre au point la synthĂšse sur un analogue Ă  partir de prĂ©curseurs plus accessibles, la stratĂ©gie envisagĂ©e consiste Ă  rĂ©aliser une Ă©tape de condensation entre l’hexacĂ©tocyclohexane et la 5,6-diamino-1,10-phĂ©nanthroline pour obtenir le 9,11,20,22-tĂ©traazatĂ©trapyrido[3,2-a:2'3'-c:3",2"-l:2"',3"'-n]pentacĂšne-10,21-quinone (tatppq) avant de rĂ©aliser la synthĂšse du dĂ©rivĂ© cible tatpzpq avec le 9,10-diamino-1,4,5,8-tetraazaphĂ©nanthrĂšne (diNH2TAP). La littĂ©rature indique que d’autres molĂ©cules polyazaaromatiques du mĂȘme type sont insolubles dans la majoritĂ© des solvants organiques connus. Afin de pallier Ă  ce problĂšme, il a donc Ă©tĂ© Ă©galement envisagĂ© de synthĂ©tiser des complexes de ruthĂ©nium (II) prĂ©curseurs permettant ainsi de solubiliser la molĂ©cule et de pouvoir l’étudier.Ces deux voies ont Ă©tĂ© testĂ©es et montrent des rĂ©sultats encourageants, en particulier pour la synthĂšse de la tatppq non complexĂ©e.info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe

    More than 30% of all enzymes present a metal ion in their active site. Interesting sub-families present a mononuclear active site where a single metal ion (Zn2+ or Cun+) is coordinated to a polyhistidine core. The elaboration of model compounds is important for understanding the fundamental mechanisms involved in their bio-catalytic cycles. In this context, we have developed calix[6]arene based ligands presenting an aza cap covalently linked to the calixarene moiety. These supramolecular assemblies present several advantages: they offer a coordination site for a metal ion through the nitrogen donor atoms of the cap, the small rim of the calixarene moiety defines the second coordination sphere, and the hydrophobic cavity presents an access channel for exogenous ligands. In these systems the coordinating nitrogen atoms are separated from the oxygen rich small rim by two carbon atoms, which allows the controlled coordination of one single guest inside the cavity. Wanting to modulate the properties of the calix[6]arene tren-based (tris(2-aminoethyl)amine) ligand, we successfully synthetized several new receptors and studied their reactivity.The synthesis of “two-story” receptors, the calix[6]amido-tren and calix[6]amido-tacn, allowed the modification of the first and second coordination sphere of a coordinated metal ion by introducing an additional spacer between the tripodal aza-cap and the calixarene macrocycle. The complexes of CuI, CuII and ZnII of these new ligands were synthesized and their reactivity was studied. The presence of three potentially coordinating carbonyl groups changed the host-guest reactivity of these metal complexes as they are in competition with exogenous ligands. A comparative study of the host-guest properties and of the reactivity of the metal complexes of both ligands, calix[6]amido-tren and calix[6]amido-tacn was realized. The cavity of these “two-story” ligands is larger than the one of the parent calix[6]tren and more flexible, allowing not only the coordination of an anion, but the simultaneous coordination of two Cl ligands. The oxidation of sterically hindered amines into hydroxylamines and oximes in the presence of O2 was electrochemically realized by the reduction of the cupric center forming a CuII-superoxo adduct as the reactive species. Amine oxidation has been shown for the parent complex, however, the scope of this reaction was limited due to the smaller cavity. The formation of a CuII-superoxo adduct of the calix[6]amido-tren complex was qualitatively evidenced at low temperature upon addition of O2 to the isolated cuprous complex. This type of adduct has attracted much attention in recent years since it is considered to be a reactive intermediate in the catalytic cycle of copper monooxygenases, such as PHM and DÎČM. A supramolecular assisted demethylation methodology was developed for different capped calix[6]azacryptands. This methodology was then successfully applied to the demethylation of calix[6]tren in order to obtain calix[6]trentrisPhOH. This receptor showed a very different behavior in comparison to the parent one. Indeed, the complexation of anions and biologically relevant ammonium ions was evidenced by the monoprotonated receptor. The metal complexes of CuII and ZnII were synthesized. The interaction between the metal center and the phenate groups in presence of base has been evidenced and has conducted to a multi-step molecular switch. The cupric complex showed the presence of a phenoxyl radical resembling the oxidized form of galactose oxidase, catalyzing the oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes. These results open the way to new perspectives in reactivity studies.An analog of calix[6]tren, bearing a functionalized reactive arm on the tren cap, was synthesized and the corresponding CuII complex was immobilized on a gold surface through a monolayer formation. In organic medium, the host-guest properties of the grafted calix[6]tren are unchanged, while in aqueous medium, a reversible redox system was observed allowing the selective detection of linear alkylamines at basic pH. To our knowledge, this is the first copper supramolecular system immobilized on surface which permits that kind of detection in an aqueous environment.Plus de 30% des enzymes prĂ©sentent un ion mĂ©tallique dans leur site actif qui est la clĂ© pour les rĂ©actions de catalyse. Une sous-famille d’enzymes comporte un site actif oĂč un seul ion mĂ©tallique (Zn2+ ou Cun+) est coordinĂ© Ă  un cƓur polyhistidine. L’élaboration de composĂ©s modĂšles est important pour la comprĂ©hension des mĂ©canismes fondamentaux impliquĂ©s dans le cycle biocatalytique de ces enzymes mononuclĂ©aires. Dans ce contexte, nous avons dĂ©veloppĂ© des ligands basĂ©s sur des calix[6]arĂšnes prĂ©sentant un chapeau polyazotĂ© liĂ© de maniĂšre covalente au macrocycle. Ces ligands offrent un site de coordination pour le mĂ©tal et une cavitĂ© hydrophobe bien dĂ©finie. Cet assemblage permet et contrĂŽle la liaison d’un ligand exogĂšne dans la cavitĂ©. Afin de moduler les propriĂ©tĂ©s des complexes mĂ©talliques calixarĂ©niques basĂ©s sur une unitĂ© coordinante tren (tris(2-aminoĂ©thyl)amine), nous avons synthĂ©tisĂ© avec succĂšs et Ă©tudiĂ© plusieurs nouveaux rĂ©cepteurs calix[6]arĂ©niques.La synthĂšse de rĂ©cepteurs bisĂ©tagĂ©s, le calix[6]amido-tren et le calix[6]amido-tacn, a permis de modifier la seconde sphĂšre de coordination par incorporation de groupements amide entre la cavitĂ© et le site de coordination. Cette stratĂ©gie s’est avĂ©rĂ©e efficace. En effet, la coordination d’anions au centre mĂ©tallique a Ă©tĂ© mise en Ă©vidence et en particulier celle simultanĂ©e de deux Cl pour le Cu-calix[6]amido-tren. Cette coordination d’un ou plusieurs invitĂ©s anioniques Ă©tait impossible dans le cas du calix[6]tren parent qui prĂ©sente une seconde sphĂšre de coordination Ă©lectroniquement dense et un chapeau trop petit pour y accueillir plusieurs invitĂ©s. La prĂ©sence de groupements carbonyle entre la chapeau tren et le calixarĂšne modifie Ă©galement le comportement des complexes :leur coordination au centre mĂ©tallique entre en compĂ©tition avec celle d’invitĂ©s exogĂšnes. L’oxydation d’amines encombrĂ©es sous O2 en hydroxylamines et oximes a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e par la rĂ©duction du complexe cuivrique du calix[6]amido-tren par Ă©lectrochimie. Ce type d’amines n’est pas oxydable par l’adduit superoxo du complexe parent, dĂ» Ă  la taille de la cavitĂ© qui empĂȘche la coordination d’invitĂ©s encombrĂ©s. De plus, la formation d’un adduit superoxo a Ă©tĂ© mise en Ă©vidence qualitativement au dĂ©part du complexe cuivreux isolĂ© de ce mĂȘme composĂ©. Ces rĂ©sultats permettent d’envisager des Ă©tudes de rĂ©activitĂ© mimant le site actif des enzymes PHM et DÎČM par exemple. Enfin, une comparaison des propriĂ©tĂ©s hĂŽte-invitĂ© et de la rĂ©activitĂ© des complexes du calix[6]amido-tren avec celles des complexes du calix[6]amido-tacn a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e afin d’évaluer l’impact de la nature du chapeau polyazotĂ© sur les propriĂ©tĂ©s hĂŽte-invitĂ© et la rĂ©activitĂ© de ces complexes.Une mĂ©thodologie de dĂ©mĂ©thylation assistĂ©e de maniĂšre supramolĂ©culaire a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©e pour diffĂ©rents calix[6]azacryptands chapeautĂ©s. Celle-ci a ensuite Ă©tĂ© appliquĂ©e avec succĂšs Ă  la dĂ©mĂ©thylation du calix[6]tren pour obtenir le calix[6]trentrisPhOH. Ce rĂ©cepteur a montrĂ© un comportement trĂšs diffĂ©rent de celui du rĂ©cepteur parent. En effet, la complexation d’anions et d’ammoniums biologiquement pertinents a Ă©tĂ© possible par ce rĂ©cepteur protonnĂ©. L’interaction entre le centre mĂ©tallique et les phĂ©nates en prĂ©sence de base a conduit Ă  la rĂ©alisation d’un switch molĂ©culaire multi-Ă©tapes entre diffĂ©rents Ă©tats de protonation du rĂ©cepteur et du complexe zincique. Son complexe cuivrique a montrĂ© la prĂ©sence d’un radical phĂ©noxyle aprĂšs oxydation du phĂ©nate. Cette espĂšce CuII-radical phĂ©noxyle mime la forme oxydĂ©e du site actif de la galactose oxydase, catalysant l’oxydation d’alcools en aldĂ©hydes. Ces rĂ©sultats ouvrent donc la voie Ă  de nouvelles perspectives pour les Ă©tudes de rĂ©activitĂ© de ce composĂ©.Un analogue du calix[6]tren, porteur d’un bras avec une fonction rĂ©active sur le chapeau, a Ă©tĂ© synthĂ©tisĂ© et complexĂ© au cuivre avant d’ĂȘtre immobilisĂ© sur surface via la formation de monocouches. Les Ă©lectrodes ainsi modifiĂ©es ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©es en milieu organique et aqueux. En milieu organique, les propriĂ©tĂ©s hĂŽte-invitĂ© du calix[6]tren sont conservĂ©es aprĂšs immobilisation. En milieu aqueux, un systĂšme redox rĂ©versible a Ă©tĂ© observĂ©. Celui-ci a permis la dĂ©tection sĂ©lective d’alkylamines linĂ©aires par le systĂšme Ă  pH basique. A notre connaissance, il s’agit du premier systĂšme supramolĂ©culaire Ă  cuivre, immobilisĂ© sur surface, qui permet cette dĂ©tection en milieu aqueux.Doctorat en Sciencesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe

    A 4-state acid-base controlled molecular switch based on a host-guest system

    No full text
    A novel ZnII funnel complex that presents three phenol functions within the calix[6]arene macrocycle is described. Host-guest studies, monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy, evaluate the impact of the replacement of three anisole moieties present in the previously described system by phenols. It is shown that now the dicationic complex is responsive to anions, whereas deprotonation of one phenol unit completely inhibits any hosting response. These properties, combined with those of the corresponding protonated ligand, allow to obtain different molecular switches, one of which yielding guest embedment changes between four different host states, thus giving rise to a rare case of triple molecular switch.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Second generation of calix[6]tren ligands with functionalized appending arms

    Metallo-enzymes are ubiquitous. More than 30% of enzymes present a metal ion in their active sitethat is a key for catalysis. Interesting sub-families present a mononuclear active site where a single metal ion(Zn2+ or Cun+) is coordinated to a polyhistidine core. The elaboration of model compounds of such metalloenzymesis important for understanding the fundamental mechanisms involved in their bio-catalytic cycles. Inthis context, we have developed three generations of calix[6]arene based biomimetic complexes that combine ametal ion and a hydrophobic cavity.1 These metal complexes display a single coordination site accessible for anexogenous ligand that is fully controlled by the hydrophobic funnel. One of the ligand belonging to the thirdgeneration of compounds combines a calix[6]arene pocket to a tren cap (tren = [tris(2-aminoethyl)amine]).Calix[6]tren shows remarkably versatile host-guest properties either toward ammonium ions, polar neutralmolecules and metal ions (Zn and Cu).2,3 Very interestingly, the protonation of the apical nitrogen atom allows acontrol of the environment on the host-guest properties. The development of efficient synthetic methodologiesfor the selective functionnalization of calix[6]tren is now required in order to obtain water-soluble or graftableanalogues.In this context, we have successfully obtained a new generation of calix[6]tren ligands decorated withappending arms (i.e. 3 and 4). The key step of their synthesis consists of a [1+1] macrocyclisation reactionbetween a trisamine calix[6]arene and a tris-acid cap. The host-guest properties of the intermediatecalix[6]trenamides4,5 (1 and 2) were studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy. It was shown that these tris-amidoreceptors are able to selectively recognize polar neutral guests displaying H-bond donor and acceptor groups,fluoride anion and contact ammonium fluoride salts. Finally, the efficient binding of Zn2+ by the two calix[6]trenligands 3 and 4 has been clearly observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, paving the way to development of watersolubleand graftable calix[6]tren based complexes.info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe

    Turning on anion and betaine hosting by a small structural change of a biomimetic cavity: a case study

    No full text
    This study explores the impact of a small structural modification on a biomimetic receptor. Thehosting structure is a calix[6]arene capped by a tetraaza core. Two receptors are compared: one (1)presents three anisole units while the other (2) has three phenols. The latter was obtained with anexcellent yield by selective demethylation thanks to a supramolecular strategy. Complexationstudies showed that [2.H]+ displays strong affinities for Cl−, NO3−, HSO4−, whereas [1.H]+ is nonresponsive.The anions are embedded at the level of the small rim, hydrogen-bonded to theprotonated cap and the phenol groups. Ternary complexes are obtained in the presence ofammoniums. Finally, [2.H]+ shows high affinity for small zwitterions presenting a carboxylateand an ammonium groups separated by one or two carbon atom(s), not three, due to multipointrecognition. These results open routes to the design of new receptors for a variety of anionicand zwitterionic guests.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
