A reaction of bis[(2-chlorocarbonyl)phenyl] diselenide with various mono and bisnucleophiles such as aminophenols, phenols, and amines have been studied as a convenient general route to a series of new antimicrobial and antiviral diphenyl diselenides. The compounds, particularly bis[2-(hydroxyphenylcarbamoyl)]phenyl diselenides and reference benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones, exhibited high antimicro...

A series of N-mustards, which was conjugated to mono- or bis-naphthalimides with a flexible amine link, were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (HCT-116, PC-3, U87 MG, Hep G2 and SK-OV-3). Several compounds displayed better activities than the control compound amonafide. Further evaluations by fluorescence spectroscopy studies and DNA-interstrand cross-lin...

Complexation of two types of dicationic bipyridium guests, paraquat derivatives and bis(N-mono-substituted bipyridine) cations, by a negatively charged carboxylato-biphen[3]arene (CBP3) in water is reported. CBP3 could strongly interact with these guests, where charge-transfer and electrostatic interactions play important roles.

The synthesis of trifluoromethylselenolated aromatic molecules via an auxiliary-assisted, palladium catalyzed, C−H bonds functionalization with trifluoromethyl tolueneselenosulfonate as reagent is described. mono- or bis-products can be preferentially formed. Some mechanistic investigations were realized to better understand the reaction. This methodology was also extended fluoroalkylselenyl gr...

Reaction of Li(3,5-R(2)-pyrazolide) (R = tBu or Ph, dXpz) with Mo(NAr)(CHCMe(2)Ph)(OTf)(2)(DME) yields Mo(NAr)(CHCMe(2)Ph)(dXpz)(2) in good yield. These complexes react with alcohols or the surface silanols of silica, to yield bis-alkoxy and surface mono-siloxy alkene metathesis catalysts, respectively.

A series of oligoaniline-functionalized mono- and bis-topic terpyridine ligands, i.e. C(6)H(5)[N(R)C(6)H(4)](n)TPY (R = H, butyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl; n = 1-4; TPY = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl) and TPYC(6)H(4)[N(R)C(6)H(4)](m)TPY (R = H, tert-butyloxycarbonyl; m = 2, 4), and the corresponding mono- and bis-nuclear ruthenium(II) complexes have been synthesized and verified. The spectroscopic resul...

Four halogen and hydrogen bonding rotaxane host systems featuring pyridinium bis-amide-iodotriazole/prototriazole and pyridinium bis-amide-iodotriazolium/prototriazolium axle components have been synthesized by CuAAC-mediated mono-stoppering chloride anion templation and post-rotaxanation methylation reactions. In competitive 45 : 45 : 10 CDCl3-CD3OD-D2O aqueous solvent media, the dicationic ha...

ortho- and para-Phenylenediamines were desymmetrised and quantitatively transformed into mono- and bis-(thio)ureas or mixed thiourea-ureas through a one-pot mechanochemical click reaction sequence; mechanochemical desymmetrisation proceeds quantitatively without excess reagents and allows the controlled extension of a molecular structure by combining normally competing reactions.

The redox-active metallaphosphine [Fe(dppe)(η(5)-C5Me5)(C≡C-PPh2)] reacts with [Pd(1,5-cod)Cl2] to give mono- and bis-phosphine coordinated palladium centres as a function of stoichiometry, and these complexes provide a stable redox-active platform which allows reversible one-electron {Fe(II)→Fe(III)(+)} oxidations within the palladium coordination sphere.

Five known porphyrins, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-tolyl)porphyrin (TTP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-bromophenyl)porphyrin (TBrPP), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TAPP), 5,10,15-tris(tolyl)-20-mono(p-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TrTMNP), 5,10,15-tris(tolyl)-20-mono(p-aminophenyl)porphyrin (TrTMAP), and three novel porphyrin derivatives, 5,15-di-[bis(3,4-ethylcarboxymethylenoxy)phenyl]-10,20-di(p-t...
