In order to investigate how chirotopicity and stereogenicity of metal centers influence the enantioselectivity of metal centered reactions the stereogenic properties of metal centers in chiral complexes have to be varied without changing their electronic character. Diastereospecific alkylation of [Mo(NO)2(′S2′ )2]2- by racemic 1,2-dibromopropane and 1,2-dibromobutane yields the title complexes [Mo(NO)2(′MeS4′ )] and [Mo(NO)2(′EtS4′)] that differ from the parent compound [Mo(NO)2('S4′)] with respect to the stereogenicity of the metal center and allow future investigations of the question raised above.

Background: The preparation and use of pyridinyl alcohols as ligands showed incredible increment in the past three decades. Important property of pyridinyl alcoholato ligands is their strong basicity, which is mainly due to the lack of resonance stabilization of the corresponding anion. This strongly basic anionic nature gives them high ability to make bridges between metal centers rather than to bind to only one metal center in a terminal fashion. They are needed as ligands due to their ability to interact with transition metals both covalently (with oxygen) and hemilabile coordination (through nitrogen). Objective: The review focuses on the wide application of α-pyridinyl alcohols, α,α’-pyridine diols, α- bipyridinyl alcohols, and α,α’-bipyridine diols as structure motifs in the preparation of important organic molecules which is due to their strongly basic anionic nature. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that in addition to their synthetic utility in the homogeneous and asymmetric catalytic reactions, the preparation of the crown ethers, cyclic and acyclic ethers, coordinated borates (boronic esters), pyridinyl-phosphine ligands, pyridinyl-phosphite ligands, and pyridinyl-phosphinite ligands is the other broad area of application of pyridinyl alcohols. In addition to the aforementioned applications they are used for modeling mode of action of enzymes and some therapeutic agents. Their strongly basic anionic nature gives them high ability to make bridges between metal centers rather than to bind to only one metal center in a terminal fashion in the synthesis of transition metal cluster complexes. Not least numbers of single molecule magnets that can be used as storage of high density information were the result of transition metal complexes of pyridinyl alcoholato ligands.

In this mini-review, we have highlighted our works on metal complexes having saddle-distorted dodecaphenylporphyrin (DPP) and its derivative as ligands in the light of enhancement of the Lewis acidity of a metal center coordinated by the porphyrin. The important point through this mini-review is ill-overlap of the out-of-plane lone pairs of pyrrole nitrogen atoms with σ-orbitals of the metal center bound to the saddle-distorted porphyrin core. The enhanced Lewis acidity of the central metal ions enabled us to construct stable molecular complexes through axial coordination using metal–DPP (M(DPP)) moieties ( M = Mo V or Sn IV ) and molecular or ionic entities with Lewis-basic coordination sites, including Keggin-type polyoxometallates (POM), which are known to have weak Lewis basicity and thus hard to coordinate to metal ions. A discrete 1:2 complex with a Ru -substituted POM performs catalytic substrate oxidation reactions in organic solvents. A 1:1 complex between Sn IV ( DPP ) and a Keggin-type POM exhibited photoinduced electron transfer, in which the Sn IV ( DPP ) moiety acts as an electron donor and the POM as an electron acceptor. Besides POM, other electron acceptors, including μ3-oxo trinuclear Ru III clusters and anthraquinone, having carboxyl groups as a linker unit also formed stable complexes with DPP-metal complexes as axial ligands to perform photoinduced electron transfer. Successful photoreactions of the M(DPP)-acceptor complexes are mainly enabled by the enhanced Lewis acidity of the DPP-metal complexes for the stabilization of the assemblies and also by lowering the oxidation potential of the porphyrin ligand to gain larger driving force of electron transfer to form an electron-transfer state with avoiding intersystem crossing. The stability and photochemical behavior are in sharp contrast to those for metal complexes with planar porphyrins as ligands.
