Alkynylation of radicals: spotlight on the "Third Way" to transfer triple bonds

Jérôme Waser, Franck Le Vaillant

The alkynylation of radical intermediates has been known since a long time, but had not been broadly applied in synthetic chemistry, in contrast to the alkynylation of either electrophiles or nucleophiles. In the last decade however, it has been intensivel ...

Novel osmium(II)-cymene complexes containing curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

The first examples of (arene)Os(II) curcuminoid derivatives have been prepared and characterized. The neutral complexes [(p-cym)Os(curc)Cl] (1) and [( p-cym)Os(bdcurc)Cl] ( 2), together with the cationic derivatives [( p-cym)Os(curc)(PTA)][SO3CF3] (3) and ...

A tetranuclear samarium(II) inverse sandwich from direct reduction of toluene by a samarium(II) siloxide

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Davide Toniolo, Rory Patrick Kelly

The dinuclear SmII complex, [Sm2L4(dme)] (L = OSi(OtBu)3), is easily obtained from the protonolysis reaction of [Sm{N(SiMe3)2}(thf)2] with HOSi(OtBu)3. This complex reacts slowly with toluene, resulting in the isolation of the triple-decker arene-bridged S ...

Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity of arene-ruthenium(II) complexes with acylpyrazolones functionalized with aromatic groups in the acyl moiety

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Tina Riedel

A series of neutral ruthenium(II)-arene complexes, [(arene) Ru(Q(R))Cl] (arene = p-cymene or hexamethylbenzene), containing 4-acyl-5-pyrazolonate (Q(R)) ligands with aromatic substituents in the acyl moiety (a phenyl in Q(Ph) and a 1-naphthyl in Q(naph)) a ...

Applying a Trojan Horse Strategy to Ruthenium Complexes in the Pursuit of Novel Antibacterial Agents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

Siderophores are iron chelators secreted by bacteria to scavenge iron(III) from their surrounding environment. They possess their own internalization pathway that is sufficiently unselective to be hijacked, making them suitable for Trojan Horse strategy ap ...

α-Diimines as Versatile, Derivatizable Ligands in Ruthenium(II) p-Cymene Anticancer Complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

α-Diimines are among the most robust and versatile ligands available in synthetic coordination chemistry, possessing finely tunable steric and electronic properties. A series of novel cationic ruthenium(II) p-cymene complexes bearing simple α-diimine ligan ...

Composite Materials Based on (Cymene)Ru(II) Curcumin Additives Loaded on Porous Carbon Adsorbents from Agricultural Residues Display Efficient Antibacterial Activity

Paul Joseph Dyson

Alternative composite materials with antibacterial activity have been developed by combining the porosity of carbon materials and the antibacterial activity of half sandwich (cymene)Ru-curcumin complexes. Different types of activated carbon were used, from ...

Synthesis and In Vitro (Anticancer) Evaluation of eta(6)-Arene Ruthenium Complexes Bearing Stannyl Ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

Treatment of the known half-sandwich complexes of the type [(eta(6)-C6H6)RuCl2(P(OR)(3))] (R = Me or Ph) with SnCl2 yielded three new half-sandwich ruthenium complexes (C1-C3): [(eta(6)-C6H6)RuCl(SnCl3)(P(OMe)(3))] (C1), [(eta(6)-C6H6)RuCl(SnCl3)(P(OPh)(3) ...

New Class of Half-Sandwich Ruthenium(II) Arene Complexes Bearing the Water-Soluble CAP Ligand as an in Vitro Anticancer Agent

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel

Ruthenium(II) arene complexes of 1,4,7-triaza-9-phosphatricyclo[5.3.2.1]tridecane (CAP) were obtained. Cytotoxicity studies against cancer cell lines reveal higher activity than the corresponding PTA analogues and, in comparison to the effects on noncancer ...

Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Ruthenium Complexes as Versatile Catalysts for Enantioselective Transformations

Nicolai Cramer, David Kossler

Ruthenium complexes, in particular cyclopentadienyl ruthenium (II) derivatives, catalyze a vast number of transformations in the field of homogenous catalysis. Herein we describe the first synthesis of efficient chiral cationic cyclopentadienyl ruthenium ( ...

Chiral Cyclopentadienyl Ruthenium (II) Complexes : Synthesis and Applications in Catalysis

David Kossler

Cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes are an important class of homogenous catalysts. They engage in a multitude of different transformations, for example cycloisomerizations. Due to a lack of suitable chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands, no efficient enant ...

Combination of ruthenium(II)-arene complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl-2(pta)] (RAPTA-C) and the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor erlotinib results in efficient angiostatic and antitumor activity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Andrea Brett Gasser

Ruthenium-based compounds show strong potential as anti-cancer drugs and are being investigated as alternatives to other well-established metal-based chemotherapeutics. The organometallic compound [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene) Cl-2(pta)], where pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7 ...
