Published: May 2011

The combination of a ferrocenyl moiety with BAPTA provides a novel, water-soluble, redox-active chelator. This chelator behaving as a conformational sensor exhibits an unexpected electrochemical response with high affinity and selectivity for calcium.

The main categories of transition metal-mercury heterometallic compounds are briefly summarized. The attention is focused on complexes and clusters where the {Hg-Y} fragment, where Y represents a halide atom, interacts with transition metals. Most of the structurally characterized derivatives are organometallic compounds where the transition metals belong to the Groups 6, 8, 9 and 10.

Background: Inadequate treatment responses, chemotherapy resistance, significant heterogeneity, and lengthy treatment durations create an urgent need for new pancreatic cancer therapies. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of gemcitabine-loaded nanoparticles enclosed in an organo-metallic framework under ketogenic conditions in inhibiting the growth of MIA-PaCa-2 cells.

Methods: Gemcitabine was encapsulated in Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and its morphology and size distribution were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Dynamic light scattering (DLS) with further characterization including FTIR analysis.

Cu-Catalyzed Relay Functionalization of Alkenes: Diverse Synthesis of Diazidated Quinazolinones and Polycyclic Imidazoles.

Org Lett

Department of Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin Street, Changchun 130012, P. R. China.

A Cu-catalyzed relay process for the preparation of diazidated quinazolinone and polycyclic imidazole derivatives in which readily available alkene-tethered substrates undergo an addition/cyclization/C(sp)-H functionalization of alkene sequences with high efficiency is described. Various functionalized N-heteropolycyclic compounds were readily prepared in good yields with a broad substrate scope. Moreover, the direct azidation of the α-C(sp)-H bond of the corresponding N-heterocycles has been demonstrated on the basis of mechanistic studies, which provide an alternative late-stage functionalization approach for the derivatization of N-heterocyclic scaffolds.

Stimulus-Responsive Organometallic Assemblies Based on Azobenzene-Functionalized Poly-NHC Ligands.

The reversible photoisomerization of azobenzene (AZB) and its derivatives has been applied across various fields. Developing discrete AZB-functionalized organometallic cages is essential for manufacturing functional materials. In this work, we designed and fabricated a series of three-dimensional, hexaazobenzene-terminated poly-NHC-based (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes [M3(A)2](BF4)3 and [M3(B)2](BF4)3 (M = Ag, Au).

Interrupting Associative π-σ-π Isomerization Enables -Retentive Asymmetric Tsuji-Trost Reaction.

J Am Chem Soc

New Cornerstone Science Laboratory, State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chemistry, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 345 Lingling Lu, Shanghai 200032, China.

The asymmetric Tsuji-Trost reaction has been extensively studied due to its importance in establishing stereogenic centers, often adjacent to an -olefin moiety in organic molecules. The generally preferential formation of chiral -olefin products is believed to result from the thermodynamically more stable -π-allylpalladium intermediate. The rapid associative π-σ-π isomerization makes it challenging to synthesize chiral -olefin products via the transient -π-allylpalladium intermediate.
