The circular dichroism spectra of a series of optically active (α-aminocarboxylato)tetraamminecobalt(111) complexes have been measured in aqueous solution, and in the presence of salts of polarizable anions. The observed spectra in the visible region have been analysed to determine the signs of the Cotton effects of the three components of the 1A1g ↔ 1T1g cobalt(111) transition. For L-amino acids, the transition with A2g(D4h) parentage is negative, and the two transitions with Eg(D4h) parentage have opposite signs. Published circular dichroism spectra of complexes of the type [Co(en)2(L-am)]2+ were similarly interpreted in terms of a perturbed tetragonal chromophore, and it was shown that the vicinal effect of the L-amino acids imposed the same signs onto the component transitions as for the tetraammines and for a similar series of pentaamminecobalt(111) complexes.

AbstractIt has been experimentally observed that various biomolecules exhibit clear luminescence in the visible upon aggregation, contrary their monomeric state. However, the physical basis for this phenomenon is still elusive. Here, we systematically examine all coded amino acids to provide non-biased insights into this phenomenon. Several amino acids, including non-aromatic, show intense visible luminescence. While lysine crystals display the highest signal, the very chemically similar non-coded ornithine does not, implying a role for molecular packing rather than the chemical characteristics of the molecule. Furthermore, cysteine show luminescence that is indeed crystal-packing-dependent as repeated rearrangements between two crystal structures result in a reversible on-off optical transition. In addition, ultrafast lifetime decay is experimentally validated, corroborating a recently raised hypothesis regarding the governing role of nπ* states in the emission formation. Collectively, our study supports the hypothesis that electronic interactions between molecules that are non-fluorescent and non-absorbing at the monomeric state may result in reversible optically-active states by the formation of supramolecular fluorophores.

The synthesis of three potentially sexadentate optically active sulphur-containing amino acids, 2,9- diamino-4,7-dithiadecanedioic acid [(R,R)-ebc], 2,ll-diamino-5,8-dithiadodecanedioic acid [(S,S)- ebhc] and 2,7-di(3'-thiabuty1)-3,6-diazaoctanedioic acid [(S,S)-ebm] are described. Some metal complexes of the acids with cobalt, nickel and copper are characterized by spectroscopic measurements. The complex�� (-)589[Co{(S,S)-ebm}] ClO4 is formed stereospecifically and an X-ray structural analysis shows it to have the Δ-trans(O) configuration. The c.d. spectrum shows the presence of three bands due to the splitting of the T1g energy level by the effective C2 symmetry of the ligand field. Some polymeric cobalt(11) and nickel(11) complexes are also described. Spectral measurements indicate an octahedral coordination of the ligands involved. Several copper(11) complexes are also described.
