Thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate was treated with Ce(IV) in water at pH 9.5 to give novel phosphoester-hydrolyzing complexes. The dinuclear Ce(IV) complex promoted the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate with a turnover frequency of 6.8 h(-1) at 50 degrees C, showing fourfold higher activity than the mononuclear complex. The dinuclear complex was readily immobilized onto an antibody by simply mixing them in water, hence its phosphatase-like activity was applied to the color-developing reaction in immunoassay. The model assay using an antibody labeled with the dinuclear complex allowed the detection of as little as 10 ng mL(-1) of a tumor marker, Bence-Jones protein, in a 96-well microtiter plate format. Analysis of urine for Bence-Jones protein was performed by the proposed method.

Switching the location of metal atoms or ions in a molecule has been of great interest as a behavior of molecular machines. We describe herein that the reversible metal translocation can be coupled with the ligand-binding/release of organometallic complexes. The two rhodium moieties sandwiched between arylpolyene ligands exhibit metal-assembly and disassembly through reversible migration between the arene site and the olefin site, in response to the association and dissociation of additional ligands.

On the reactivity of complexes [Ni(NHC)] with CS.

A study of the reaction of [Ni(NHC)] synthons with the heterocumulene CS is reported. Nickel complexes of η-(C-S) coordinated CS, [Ni(NHC)(η-CS)] (NHC = IiPr (1a), IiPr (1b)) were obtained from the reaction of CS with precursors of [Ni(NHC)] (NHC = IiPr, IiPr). The result of this reaction critically depends on the NHC employed, as [Ni(IMes)], the complex of the sterically more demanding -aryl substituted NHC IMes, led to formation of the dinuclear complex [{Ni(IMes)(μ-CS)}] (2d).

Electrical performances of a biphenyl-derived amido Schiff base ligand L and its dinuclear Al(iii) complex (complex 1) were investigated in a metal-semiconductor (MS) junction. Electrical studies revealed that complex 1 significantly enhanced the electrical conductivity and improved the characteristics of a Schottky barrier diode (SBD). The - characteristics demonstrated that complexation of ligand L with Al(iii) ion increased the conductivity by two orders of magnitude (conductivity of L = 1.

Insight into copper coordination in O reduction by water-soluble cytochrome oxidase models.

Iron-copper complexes have been extensively studied in the search for efficient cytochrome oxidase models. Whereas most dinuclear materials usually focus on fine-tuning the coordination of heme-Fe, this work shows that the coordination of copper in cytochrome oxidase models should be carefully taken into consideration. A β-cyclodextrin dimer was built around a bipyridine linker and combined with Fe-tetraphenylsulfonatoporphyrinate (FeTPPS) to generate a self-assembled hydrosoluble cytochrome oxidase model.

Chain Shuttling Enantioselective Polymerization: An Effective Strategy for Synthesizing Stereoblock Polythioethers.

State Key Laboratory of Fine Chemicals, Frontiers Science Center for Smart Materials, Dalian University of Technology, 2 Linggong Road, Dalian 116024, China.

Herein, we propose to synthesize stereoblock polythioethers through the chain shuttling enantioselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of thiiranes. The use of diastereoisomeric dinuclear Cr complexes with optimized steric hindrance allowed the production of polythioethers with both a head-to-tail content and isotacticity of >99%. In particular, the introduction of dithiols enabled the synthesis of stereoblock polythioethers via a chain shuttling process, thus producing sulfhydryl-telechelic polythioethers with tunable thermal properties.
