We report reductive dimerization of mixed metal Pd2Pt or PdPt2 sandwich complexes. The dimerization occurs through selective Pt–Pt bond formation, and the PdPt2 dimer has a unique axially chiral structure derived from the heterometal arrangement.

Sodium ion complex formation has been investigated potentiometrically in four homologous bis(crown) series I-IV differing by the nature of substituent placed at the linking trimethylene chain (X = OH, OCH3, OCH2C6H5 and H respectively). A marked enhancement of the complex stability has been observed in the bis(crown) series I and attributed to participation of the lateral hydroxyl group in the sandwich complex formation. Evidence in support of the sandwich structure has been provided (i) by analysis of the potentiometric data indicating a 1:1 complex stoichiometry and (ii) by a comparison of the complex stability data from the bis(crown) series I with the corresponding values from related monocyclic ligand series V, VI and VII revealing a pronounced cooperation of both macrorings in the sodium ion-bis(crown) I complex formation.

Reaction of the three vacant complex ofa-[P2W15O56]12-anda-[As2W15O56]12-with divalent cation of VO2+in 1:1 mole ratio yields a previously unknown sandwich-type Wells-Dawson complex; Na18[(NaOH)2(VO)2(P2W15O56)2].40H2O (represented as Na2(VO)2P4W30) and Na18[(NaOH)2(VO)2(As2W15O56)2].27H2O (represented as Na2(VO)2As4W30). These complexes contain anions in which two divalent VO2+cations with two Na+ions are symmetrically sandwiched between two α-[P2W15O56]12- or α-[As2W15O56]12-groups leading to a “lacunary” sandwich complex. The anion complexes are isolated as sodium salts and characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, IR, 31P NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Chirality, the property of objects that are distinct from their own mirror image, is important in many scientific areas but particularly chemistry, where the appearance of molecular chirality because of rigid arrangements of atoms in space famously influences a molecule’s biological properties. Less generally appreciated is that two molecular rings with chemically distinct faces combined like links in a chain results in a chiral structure even when the rings are achiral. To date, no enantiopure examples of such mechanically axially chiral catenanes has been reported. We re-examined the symmetry properties of the mechanically axially chiral motif and identified a straightforward route to such molecules from simple building blocks. We also identify that common representations of axially chiral catenanes obscure that a previously overlooked stereogenic unit arises when a ring is threaded onto a dumbbell-shaped molecule to generate a rotaxane. These insights allowed us to demonstrate the first stereoselective syntheses of an axially chiral catenane and a noncanonical axially chiral rotaxane motif. With methods to access these structures in hand, the process of exploring their properties and applications can now begin.

Reaction of the oespz2− ligand (oespz = 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octakis (ethylsulfanyl)-5,10,15,20-porphyrazinato) with trivalent lanthanide ions, such as Nd 3+, Eu 3+, Dy 3+, Yb 3+ and Lu 3+, leads to the direct synthesis of the corresponding sandwich complexes, in the radical, ligand-oxidized green form, whereas the reaction with La 3+ affords the sandwich complex in the protonated, blue form. It is found that the ligand-oxidized complexes show rather weak electronic absorptions in the range 850–1150 nm and are, compared to lanthanide diporphyrins and diphthalocyanines, very stable both to oxidation and to reduction.

AbstractThe synthesis of bis(1-tert-butyl-2 -methyl-η5 - 1 ,2 -azaborolinyl)ruthenium (1) and bis(2-methyll- trimethylsilyl-η5 - 1 ,2 -azaborolinyl)ruthenium (2) succeeds when RuCL is reacted with the corresponding 1,2-azaborolinyl lithium compounds in THF at -70 °C. Each of the sandwich complex forms two isomers with a clockwise and an anti-clockwise conformation of the azaborolinyl rings. The anti-clockwise isomer of 1 (1a ) gives colourless crystals which were investigated by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction methods. The molecular structure shows the rings in an eclipsed orientation forming an interplanar angle of 8.6 °. The isomers of 1 as well as of 2 give different 1H and 11B NMR signals.

AbstractPeptides are important compounds with broad applications in many areas. Asymmetric transamination of α-keto amides can provide an efficient strategy to synthesize peptides, however, the process has not been well developed yet and still remains a great challenge in both enzymatic and catalytic chemistry. For biological transamination, the high activity is attributed to manifold structural and electronic factors of transaminases. Based on the concept of multiple imitation of transaminases, here we report N-quaternized axially chiral pyridoxamines 1 for enantioselective transamination of α-keto amides, to produce various peptides in good yields with excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities. The reaction is especially attractive for the synthesis of peptides made of unnatural amino acids since it doesn’t need great efforts to make chiral unnatural amino acids before amide bond formation.
