Ruthenium Styryl Complexes with Ligands Derived from 2âHydroxy- and 2âMercaptopyridine and 2âHydroxy- and 2-Mercaptoquinoline
A series
of ruthenium styryl complexes with potentially noninnocent Îș<sup>2</sup>[N,O]<sup>â</sup> or Îș<sup>2</sup>[N,S]<sup>â</sup> ligands have been prepared by treatment of 5-coordinated 16-valence-electron
ruthenium styryl complexes RuÂ(CO)ÂClÂ(P<sup><i>i</i></sup>Pr<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(CHî»CH-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>-4R) with deprotonated bidentate 2-hydroxy- or 2-mercaptopyridines
or 2-hydroxy- or 2-mercaptoquinolines. These 6-coordinated complexes
have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and by cyclic voltammetry.
Moreover, the structures of complexes <b>1d</b>, <b>2a</b>, <b>3c</b>, <b>5b</b>, and <b>6b</b> have been
established by X-ray crystallography. Our results indicate that the
pyridine-derived complexes exist as two isomers that differ with respect
to the orientation of the Îș<sup>2</sup>[N,O]<sup>â</sup> or Îș<sup>2</sup>[N,S]<sup>â</sup> donor ligands relative
to the CO and alkenyl ligands in the equatorial plane. The equilibrium
between the two isomers is thermodynamically controlled. Thus, the
relative amount of the minor isomer increases at higher temperatures.
With the 2-hydroxyquinoline- or 2-mercaptoquinoline-derived ligands
only one isomer is observed. Electrochemical studies show that these
complexes undergo one or two reversible consecutive one-electron oxidations,
the potentials of which respond to the electronic properties of the
4-substituent at the styryl ligand and those of the ancillary chelate
ligand. Strong ligand contributions to the first oxidation of the
complexes were experimentally verified by IR and EPR spectroelectrochemistry.
Quantum chemical calculations reproduce our experimental results,
including the positions of the RuÂ(CO) vibrational bands of the neutral
complexes and of their corresponding radical cations. Our combined
results indicate that the oxidation of all complexes is dominated
by the styryl ligand, irrespective of the electronic nature of the
4-substituent and of the [N,O]<sup>â</sup> or [N,S]<sup>â</sup> chelate ligand

Efficient labelling of enzymatically synthesized vinyl-modified DNA by an inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction
Many applications in biotechnology and molecular biology rely on modified nucleotides. Here, we present an approach for the postsynthetic labelling of enzymatically synthesized vinyl-modified DNA by DielsâAlder reaction with inverse electron demand using a tetrazine. Labelling proceeds very efficiently and supersedes several known approaches
Vinyl ruthenium-modified biphenyl and 2,2'-bipyridines
International audienceWe report here on ruthenium alkenyl complexes 2 and 3 derived from 2,2'-bipyridine and their Re(CO)3X adducts 4a,b and 5. Detailed electrochemical studies on these complexes and spectroscopic characterization of their oxidized forms by IR, UV/vis/NIR, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies as well as quantum chemical studies reveal sizable (bridging) ligand contributions to the redox orbitals. Engagement of the free bipy functions of complexes 2 and 3 in binding to the electron-withdrawing fac-Re(CO)3X (X = Br, Cl) moiety enhances the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer character of the optical excitations, causes sizable anodic shifts of the redox potentials, and decreases the number of observable anodic redox waves by one when compared to complexes 2 and 3. Despite the decreasing electron density at the terminal or bridging alkenyl bipyridine ligand, the anodic redox processes still maintain appreciable ligand character as is seen by the shifts of the Ru(CO) and Re(CO)3 stretching frequencies on oxidation. Binding of the fac-Re(CO)3X moiety also attenuates the degree of ground-state delocalization in the mixed-valent states.[on SciFinder (R)
Photocatalytic removal of imidacloprid containing frequently applied insecticide in agriculture industry using Co3O4 modified MoO3 composites
Water pollution caused by the frequent utilization of pesticides in the agriculture industry is one of the major environmental concerns that require proper attention. In this context, the photocatalytic removal of pesticides from contaminated water in the presence of metallic oxide photocatalysts is quite in approach. In the present study, Orthorhombic MoO3 has been modified with varying amount of cobalt oxide through wet impregnation for the removal of imidacloprid and imidacloprid-containing commercially available insecticide. The solid-state absorption response and band gap evaluation of synthesized composites revealed a significant extension of absorption cross-section and absorption edge in the visible region of the light spectrum than pristine MoO3. The indirect band gap energy varied from âŒ2.88 eV (MoO3) to âŒ2.15 eV (10% Co3O4-MoO3). The role of Co3O4 in minimizing the photo-excitonsâ recombination in MoO3 was studied using photoluminescence spectroscopy. The orthorhombic shape of MoO3 was confirmed through X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the presence of distinct absorption edges and diffraction peaks corresponding to Co3O4 and MoO3 in absorption spectra and XRD patterns, respectively verified the composite nature of 10% Co3O4-MoO3. The photocatalytic study under natural sunlight irradiation showed higher photocatalytic removal (âŒ98%) of imidacloprid with relatively higher rate by 10% Co3O4-MoO3 composite among all contestants. Furthermore, the photocatalytic removal (âŒ93%) of commercially applied insecticide, i.e., Greeda was also explored
Synthesis, Structure, and Spectroelectrochemistry of FerrocenylâMeldrumâs Acid DonorâAcceptor Systems
The
synthesis of two new donorâacceptor ferrocenyl derivatives
with Meldrumâs acid based nonplanar acceptor substituents is
presented. Both compounds are obtained in high yields in a simple
reaction protocol under mild conditions using either 1-acetyl- or
1,1âČ-diacetylferrocene and Meldrumâs acid. Both products
have been characterized spectroscopically, by single-crystal X-ray
structure analysis, by electrochemical and UV/vis/IR spectroelectrochemical
measurements, and by (TD)-DFT calculations. The spectroelectrochemical
measurements disclose that the 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione
moiety is a moderately strong electron acceptor
