Supramolecular architectures are of great interest in modern materials research. The directed synthesis of asym-metric 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ruthenium(II) complexes is an important tool towards such systems. In this contribution, we report the synthesis of asymmetric terpyridine ruthenium(II) complexes as models for supramolecular architectures and polymers. Terpyridines, bearing different functional groups in the 4′-position, were complexed with unfunctionalized terpyridine ligands using Ru(III)/Ru(II) chemistry. The resulting compounds were characterized by UV-vis, one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy as well as MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In addition, X-ray structure analysis was performed for one selected example.

An Antarctic coral belonging to the order Pennatulacea, collected during the 2013 austral autumn by trawl from 662 to 944 m depth, has yielded three new briarane diterpenes, bathyptilone A-C (1–3) along with a trinorditerpene, enbepeanone A (4), which bears a new carbon skeleton. Structure elucidation was facilitated by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The three compounds were screened in four cancer cell lines. Bathyptilone A displayed selective nanomolar cytotoxicity against the neurogenic mammalian cell line Ntera-2.

Based on S-shaped terpyridines, a series of yellow, orange, and red-orange light-emitting iridium(iii) complexes has been synthesized. The respective compounds have been prepared by the bridge-splitting method starting from the dimeric precursor complexes [(ppy)2Ir-μ-Cl]2, [(ppy-CHO)2Ir-μ-Cl]2, and [(c6)2Ir-μ-Cl]2. The products have been fully characterized by one- and two-dimensional (1H–1H correlation) NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry revealing the successful coordination of the iridium(iii) centres to the S-shaped terpyridine ligands. Furthermore, the quantitative coordination has been verified by the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the mononuclear iridium(iii) complexes. The photoluminescence spectra have shown strong emissions with maxima between 538 and 600 nm. The study of the optical properties of these novel complexes has indicated that the colour shifts are mainly depending on the nature of the cyclometallating ligands.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

Abstract Acylic silylated phosphazenes of the type HN(PR2NSiMe3)2 (1) react quantitatively with molecules MMe3 (M = Al, Ga, In) under ring formation and CH4 evolution. The ring compounds N(PPh2NSiMe3)2AlMe2 (2 a) and N(PPh2NSiMe3)2InMe2 (4 a) have been investiga­ ted by X-ray structure determination. 2a and 4a crystallize in the space groups P 1̄ and P 31, respectively; they show different conformations regarding the cyclohexane framework. NMR spectroscopy of the nuclei in the chelating phosphazene ligand indicates decreasing Lewis acidity of the metal containing fragments in the series AlMe2 ≥ GaMe2 > InMe2.

We report herein the synthesis of the porphyrins 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxybiphenyl)-porphyrin (H2TCBP) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxy-2,6-dimethylbiphenyl)porphyrin (H2TCDMBP) bearing diphenyl units on meso-positions, and of their cobalt and silver derivatives. The silver complexes of H2TCDMBP and of H2TCPP ( H2TCPP = 5 ,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) were investigated by X-ray crystallography and their supramolecular organization elucidated. Co(TCBP) was reacted with copper formate, yielding a polymeric compound that showed a catalytic activity in the benzylic amination of hydrocarbons using arylazide as aminating agent.

Chemical investigation of the MeOH extract of the sponge Acanthostrongylophora ingens afforded the new manzamine derivative ircinal E (1), in addition to six known metabolites (2–7). The structure of the new compound was unequivocally elucidated using one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry. Compounds 1–6 exhibited strong to moderate cytotoxicity against the murine lymphoma L5178Y cell line with IC50 values ranging from 2.8 to 21.7 μM.
