; Cationic dinuclear p-cymene Ru complexes bridged by three thiophenolato ligands contg. various substituents mainly in meta and ortho positions, [(?6-p-MeC6H4Pri)2Ru2(?2-SR)3]+ (R = 3-C6H4Me: 1; R = 3-C6H4OMe: 2; R = 3-C6H4OEt: 3; R = 3-C6H4CF3: 4; R = 3-C6H4NH2: 5; R = 3-C6H4Cl: 6; R = 2-C6H4Me: 7; R = 2-C6H4OMe: 8; R = 2-C6H4Pri: 9; R = 2-C6H4CF3: 10; R = npt: 11 (npt = 2-naphthyl); R = mco: 12 (mco = 4-methylcoumarinyl); R = 3,5-C6H3Me2: 13; R = 3,5-C6H3(CF3)2: 14; R = 3,5-C6H3Cl2: 15; R = 3,4-C6H3(OMe)2: 16), were prepd. from the reaction of the neutral p-cymene diruthenium dichloride dimer, [(?6-p-MeC6H4Pri)2Ru2Cl4], with the corresponding thiophenol RSH. All cationic complexes were isolated as their chloride salts and fully characterized by spectroscopic and anal. methods. The mol. structures of 10 and 15 were solved by a single-crystal x-ray structure anal. of [10]Cl and [15]Cl, which show that the two Ru atoms adopt a pseudo-octahedral geometry without a metal-metal bond in accordance with the noble gas rule. All complexes are highly cytotoxic towards human ovarian cancer cells, the IC50 values being mostly in the nanomolar range. Complex 9 shows the highest cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of 0.03 ?M towards the A2780 cell line and the cisplatin-resistant mutant A2780cisR. The cytotoxicity of these complexes, which belong to the most active Ru anticancer compds. reported so far, can be correlated with the lipophilicity of the corresponding thiols. In comparison with the previous series, the positions of the substituents in the thiophenolato bridges are not as important as the nature of the substituents, alkyl substituents being the best ones in line with their lipophilic character.

; ; Hexanuclear hexacationic thiolato-bridged arene ruthenium metalla-prisms of the general formula [[(?6-p-cymene)Ru]6(?-SR)6(?3-tpt)2][OTf]6 (R = CH2Ph, CH2C6H4-p-tBu, CH2CH2Ph; tpt = 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyl-1,3,5-triazine), obtained from the self-assembly of dinuclear precursors [(p-cymene)2Ru2(?-SR)2Cl2] with tpt and AgCF3SO3, have been isolated and fully characterized as triflate salts.

; ; Neutral dinuclear dithiolato-bridged pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rh(III) complexes (C5Me5)2Rh2(?-SR)2Cl2 (R = CH2Ph, 1; R = CH2CH2Ph, 2) and cationic dinuclear trithiolato-bridged pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rh(III) and Ir(III) complexes [(C5Me5)2M2(?-SR)3]+ (M = Rh, R = CH2Ph, 3; M = Rh, R = CH2CH2Ph, 5; M = Rh, R = CH2C6H4-p-tBu, 7: M = Ir, R = CH2Ph, 4; M = Ir, R = CH2CH2Ph, 6; M = Ir, R = CH2C6H4-p-tBu, 8) were synthesized from the chloro-bridged pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rh(III) and Ir(III) dimers (C5Me5)2M2(?-Cl)2Cl2 by reaction with the corresponding thiol deriv. (RSH). Complexes 3-8 were isolated as chloride salts. All complexes were obtained in good yield and were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods. The mol. structures of the neutral complexes (1 and 2) show interesting features: the two Rh atoms are bridged by two thiolato ligands with no metal-metal bonds and the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and chlorido ligands are oriented syn to each other, an uncommon conformation for such dinuclear complexes. These structural features were rationalized using DFT calcns. Addnl., the antiproliferative activity of the complexes was evaluated against the cancerous A2780 (cisplatin sensitive) and A2780cisR (cisplatin resistant) human ovarian cell lines and on the noncancerous HEK293 human embryonic kidney cells. All complexes are active and the cationic Ir complexes 4, 6 and 8 are particularly cytotoxic, with IC50 values in the nanomolar range (IC50 < 0.1 ?M). The catalytic activity of the complexes for the oxidn. of glutathione (GSH) to GSSG was evaluated by NMR spectroscopy.

; ; Cationic arene ruthenium metalla-prisms of the general formula [Ru6(p-cymene)6(3-tpt)2(OO∩OO)3]6+ (3-tpt = 2,4,6-tris(3-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine; OO∩OO = 5,8-dioxido-1,4-naphthoquinonato [1]6+ or 6,11-dioxido-5,12-naphthacenedionato [2]6+) have been obtained from the corresponding dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes [Ru2(p-cymene)2(OO∩OO)Cl2] by reaction with 3-tpt, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate in the presence of an aromatic molecule (1,3,5-tribromobenzene, phenanthrene, pyrene, or triphenylene) that acts as a template. While the large template molecule triphenylene is permanently encapsulated in the metalla-prisms to give the complexes [triphenylene⊂1]6+ and [triphenylene⊂2]6+, 1,3,5-tribromobenzene can be removed in toluene, thus leaving the empty cages [1]6+ and [2]6+, which are isolated as their trifluoromethanesulfonate salts. In the case of the metalla-prism connected by the 5,8-dioxido-1,4-naphthoquinonato bridging ligands, the NMR spectrum reveals two isomers, 1a and 1b, the formation of which can be rationalized by means of multiple NMR experiments (one-dimensional, two-dimensional, ROESY, and DOSY). The empty and filled metalla-prisms, [1]6+, [2]6+, [template⊂1]6+, and [template⊂2]6+, have been characterized by NMR, UV−vis, and IR spectroscopy. The slow exchange processes of a guest molecule moving in and out of the cavity of cages [1]6+ and [2]6+ have been studied in solution with phenanthrene and pyrene. One-dimensional exchange spectroscopic (1D EXSY) measurements show that [phenanthrene⊂1]6+ is in a faster exchange regime than [phenanthrene⊂2]6+ and that phenanthrene is more easily exchanged than pyrene in cages [1]6+ and [2]6+, all observations being consistent with the portal size of the cages. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementDesigning the host-guest properties of tetranuclear arene ruthenium metalla-rectangles to accommodate a pyrene molecule(2010)

All complexes 1-3, isolated in good yield as triflate salts, have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The interaction of these rectangular complexes with pyrene as a guest mol. has been studied in soln. by various NMR techniques (1D, DOSY, ROESY). In CD3CN, the pyrazine-contg. metalla-rectangle 1 shows no meaningful interactions with pyrene. On the other hand, the 4,4'-bipyridine- and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene-contg. metalla-rectangles 2 and 3 clearly interact with pyrene. DOSY measurements suggest that, in the case of the 4,4'-bipyridine complex 2, the interactions occur on the outside of the rectangular assembly, while in the case of dipyridylethylene complex 3 the pyrene mol. is found inside the hydrophobic cavity of the metalla-rectangle, thus giving rise to a host-guest system.

All complexes 1-3, isolated in good yield as triflate salts, have been characterised by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The interaction of these rectangular complexes with pyrene as a guest molecule has been studied in solution by various NMR techniques (1D, DOSY, ROESY). In [D3]acetonitrile, the pyrazine-containing metalla-rectangle 1 shows no meaningful interactions with pyrene. On the other hand, the 4,4-bipyridine- and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene-containing metalla-rectangles 2 and 3 clearly interact with pyrene in [D3]acetonitrile.

; Self-assembly of 2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) subunits with p-cymene (p-PriC6H4Me) or hexamethylbenzene (C6Me6) Ru building blocks and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonato (dhbq) or 2,5-dihchloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonato (dchq) bridges affords the triangular prismatic organometallic cations [Ru6(p-PriC6H4Me)6(tpt)2(dhbq)3]6+ ([1]6+), [Ru6(p-PriC6H4Me)6(tpt)2(dchq)3]6+ ([2]6+), [Ru6(C6Me6)6(tpt)2(dhbq)3]6+ ([3]6+), and [Ru6(C6Me6)6(tpt)2(dchq)3]6+ ([4]6+). These hexanuclear cationic cages are isolated in good yield as their triflate salts. The assembly of 1-4 can also be achieved in the presence of large arom. mols. such as pyrene, fluoranthene, benzo[e]pyrene, triphenylene, or coronene to give the corresponding inclusion systems [arom.?1]6+, [arom.?2]6+, [arom.?3]6+, and [arom.?4]6+. The closed proximity of the encapsulated mol. with the different components of the cage and the carceplex nature of these systems are confirmed by 1-dimensional ROESY 1H NMR expts., mass spectrometry, and the single-crystal structure anal. of [pyrene?1][O3SCF3]6 and [benzo[e]pyrene?1][O3SCF3]6. Pyrene can be encapsulated even if it contains a functionalized aliph. substituent; in this case the arom. moiety is included in the cage, while the functionalized side arm stands out. Thus, Me 4-(pyren-1-yl)butanoate (pyrene-R) is encapsulated in 1 to give the carceplex [pyrene-R?1]6+, in which the Me butyrate arm dangles outside the cage while the pyrene moiety is firmly trapped by the metallo-prismatic cation, as demonstrated by 1H NMR expts. and ESI-MS.
