چکیده

This paper describes a new series of organometallic water-soluble chelators combining a redox moiety (ferrocene) and a selective Ca2+ chelator (BAPTA) separated by an ethynyl bridge. We report the synthesis and characterization of organometallic derivatives of the BAPTA chelator featuring one (2a) and two ferrocenyl (2b) moieties. Single crystal X-ray structural analysis on these chelators revealed unexpected conformations for the ferrocenyl substituent with respect to the phenyl ring of the BAPTA unit. DFT calculations on a model system of the ferrocenyl-ethynyl-BAPTA molecule were carried out to evaluate the energy separation between the two limiting conformations observed experimentally in the solid state, and to check the effective electronic communication between the binding pocket and the redox probe. The binding affinity of 2a–b for Ca2+, as probed by UV-Vis and cyclic voltammetry, revealed distinct behaviors in the presence of a metal ion depending on whether BAPTA is substituted by one or two ferrocenyl groups.

Chemically Modified Cyclodextrins: An Attractive Class of Supramolecular Hosts for the Development of Aqueous Biphasic Catalytic Processes

During these last years, cyclodextrins have contributed greatly to the development of catalytic processes in water. These cyclic oligosaccharides composed of 6(), 7() or 8() glucopyranose units improve the mass transfer in aqueous-organic two-phase systems and are useful compounds to design new catalysts. Thus, chemically modified cyclodextrins can be used to: (i) increase significantly the ...

Drug delivery by water-soluble organometallic cages.

Until recently, organometallic derivatives were generally viewed as moisture- and air-sensitive compounds, and consequently very challenging to synthesise and very demanding in terms of laboratory requirements (Schlenk techniques, dried solvent, glove box). However, an increasing number of stable, water-soluble organometallic compounds are now available, and organometallic chemistry in aqueous ...

Hydrogels with a Memory: Dual-Responsive, Organometallic Poly(ionic liquid)s with Hysteretic Volume-Phase Transition

We report on the synthesis and structure-property relations of a novel, dual-responsive organometallic poly(ionic liquid) (PIL), consisting of a poly(ferrocenylsilane) backbone of alternating redox-active, silane-bridged ferrocene units and tetraalkylphosphonium sulfonate moieties in the side groups. This PIL is redox responsive due to the presence of ferrocene in the backbone and also exhibits...

Redox-responsive organometallic hydrogels for in situ metal nanoparticle synthesis.

A new class of redox active hydrogels composed of poly(ferrocenylsilane) polyanion and poly(ethylene glycol) chains was assembled, using a copper-free azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. These organometallic hydrogels displayed reversible collapse and reswelling upon chemical oxidation and reduction, respectively, and formed relatively well-defined, unaggregated Pd(0) nanoparticles (8....
