New NIR-emissive tetranuclear Er(III) complexes with 4-hydroxo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazolate and dibenzoylmethanate ligands: synthesis and characterization

New tetranuclear heteroleptic complexes [Er4(dbm)6(O-btd)4(OH)2] (1) and [Er4(dbm)4(O-btd)6(OH)2] (2) (O-btd = 4-hydroxo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazolate and dbm = dibenzoylmethanide) and their solvates with toluene, THF and CH2Cl2 were prepared using two synthetic approaches. The structures of the products were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Magnetic properties of 1 and 2 are in good agreement with X-ray data. The effective magnetic moment (μeff) values at 300 K for 1 and 2 corresponds to a system of 4 non-interacting Er(III) ions in the ground state 4J15/2 with g = 6/5. At ambient temperature and upon excitation with λexc = 450 nm, complexes 1 and 2 exhibit luminescence at ∼1530 nm, i.e. in the near infra-red (NIR) region. The luminescence intensity grows with increasing the number of the (O-btd)−ligands in the complexes. This observation suggests (O-btd)− as a new efficient antenna ligand for the lanthanide-based NIR luminescence

NHC Polymeric Particles Obtained by Self-Assembly and Click Approach of Calix[4]Arene Amphiphiles as Support for Catalytically Active Pd Nanoclusters

A new polymeric NHC carrier was synthesized by sequential supramolecular self-assembly and copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of amphiphilic imidazolium calix[4]arenes with octyl lipophilic fragments. Obtained polytriazole-imidazolium particles were found as monodisperse submicron particles, with the average diameter of 236 ± 34 nm and average molecular weight of 1380 ± 96 kDa. Successful CuAAC polymerization has been proved using IR spectroscopy and high-resolution ESI mass spectrometry. Polymeric particles, as well as aggregates made from precursor macrocycles, were decorated by Pd clusters (2 nm) for further catalytic investigations. Pd nanoclusters, supported on the polymeric surface, were found highly catalytically active in the model reduction of p-nitrophenol, giving reaction rates an order of magnitude higher compared to literature examples. The reaction was recycled using the same catalyst five times without any loss of activity

DFT Quantum-Chemical Calculation of Thermodynamic Parameters and DSC Measurement of Thermostability of Novel Benzofuroxan Derivatives Containing Triazidoisobutyl Fragments

New derivatives of benzofuroxan containing triazidoisobutyl fragments, opening the way for the creation of highly effective compositions with an increased value of energy characteristics, were synthesized for the first time. Such compounds are also an excellent platform for further modification and for the preparation of new biologically-active compounds containing tetrazole and triazole fragments. Calculations of heats of formation performed with the DFT (density functional theory) method showed that the studied compounds are high-energetic density ones, the enthalpies of formation of which are comparable to the enthalpies of formation of similar benzofuroxan derivatives and exceeds experimental enthalpy of formation of CL-14 (5,7-diamino-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan). The analysis of DSC indicates a sufficiently high thermal stability of the synthesized azidobenzofuroxans, which are acceptable for their use as components in the creation of highly efficient compositions with an increased value of energy characteristics

Novel PEPPSI-Type NHC Pd(II) Metallosurfactants on the Base of 1H-Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic Acid: Synthesis and Catalysis in Water–Organic Media

Carrying out organic reactions in water has attracted much attention. Catalytic reactions in water with metallosurfactants, which have both a metallocenter and the surface activity necessary for solubilizing hydrophobic reagents, are of great demand. Herein we proposed new approach to the synthesis of NHC PEPPSI metallosurfactants based on the sequential functionalization of imidazole 4,5-dicarboxylic acid with hydrophilic oligoethylene glycol and lipophilic alkyl fragments. Complexes of different lipophilicity were obtained, and their catalytic activity was studied in model reduction and Suzuki–Miyaura reactions. A comparison was made with the commercial PEPPSI-type catalytic systems designed by Organ. It was found that the reduction reaction in an aqueous solution of the metallosurfactant with the tetradecyl lipophilic fragment was three times more active than the commercially available PEPPSI complexes, which was associated with the formation of stable monodisperse aggregates detected by DLS and TEM

New Supramolecular Hypoxia-Sensitive Complexes Based on Azo-Thiacalixarene

Hypoxia accompanies many human diseases and is an indicator of tumor aggressiveness. Therefore, measuring hypoxia in vivo is clinically important. Recently, complexes of calix[4]arene were identified as potent hypoxia markers. The subject of this paper is new hypoxia-sensitive host–guest complexes of thiacalix[4]arene. We report a new high-yield synthesis method for thiacalix[4]arene with four anionic carboxyl azo fragments on the upper rim (thiacalixarene L) and an assessment of the complexes of thiacalixarene L with the most widespread cationic rhodamine dyes (6G, B, and 123) sensitivity to hypoxia. Moreover, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy data support the ability of the macrocycles to form complexes with dyes. Rhodamines B and 123 formed host–guest complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry. Complexes of mixed composition were formed with rhodamine 6G. The association constant between thiacalixarene L and rhodamine 6G is higher than for other dyes. Thiacalixarene L-dye complexes with rhodamine 6G and rhodamine B are stable in the presence of various substances present in a biological environment. The UV-VIS spectrometry and fluorescence showed hypoxia responsiveness of the complexes. Our results demonstrate that thiacalixarene L has a stronger binding with dyes compared with the previously reported azo-calix[4]arene carboxylic derivative. Thus, these results suggest higher selective visualization of hypoxia for the complexes with thiacalixarene L
