Platinum(ii) complexes of the formula PtLCl [L = 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoxaline, (pqx) (1), 2,(2'-pyridyl)benzo[g]quinoxaline, (pbqx) (3) and 2,(2'-pyridyl)quinoline, (pqn) (5)] were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. Also, monodentate coordination of the ligands pqx and pbqx formed the complexes trans-Pt(DMSO)pqxCl (2) and trans-Pt(DMSO)pbqxCl (4) as it is indicated from X-ray crystal structure and NMR studies. The reaction of the complexes (1), (3) and (5) with DMSO-d revealed a ligand-release solvolysis, which was studied by means of NMR techniques. Correlation between the crystal structures of (1), (3), and (5) and the kinetic or thermodynamic parameters of the solvolysis reactions showed that the tendency of the ligands pqx, pbqx, and pqn to return to the anti-configuration in addition to their ability to form non-classical H-bonds are crucial factors for the ligand-release solvolysis. Instantaneous DMSO-d solvolysis for the complexes (1) and (3) and slow kinetics solvolysis for (5) (k = 10 ± 6.4 × 10 s) reflect their structural differences in ligand planarity. Based on NMR techniques a two-step mechanism of the chelate ring opening was suggested with equilibrium constants of the overall reaction at 298 K, K = 4.1 ± 0.2 × 10 M (1) and K = 1.7 ± 0.2 × 10 M (2).

Inflammatory mediators constitute a recently coined term in the field of metal-based complexes with antiplatelet activities. Our strategy targets Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) and its receptor, which is the most potent lipid mediator of inflammation. Thus, the antiplatelet (anti-PAF) potency of any substance could be exerted by inhibiting the PAF-induced aggregation in washed rabbit platelets (WRPs), which internationally is a well-accepted methodology.

Chiral nonbonding interaction with -protected amino acid methyl esters used as chiral additives in achiral solvents allows dynamic induction of single-handed helical conformation in poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s (PQX) bearing only achiral substituents. Ac-l-Pro-OMe, for instance, allows induction of energy preference of 0.16 kJ mol per monomer unit for the -helical structure over the -helix in -butyl methyl ether (MTBE).

A highly efficient majority-rules effect of poly(quinoxaline-2,3-diyl)s (PQXs) bearing 2-butoxymethyl chiral side chains at the 6- and 7-positions was established and attributed to large ΔG(h) values (0.22-0.41 kJ mol(-1)), which are defined as the energy difference between P- and M-helical conformations per chiral unit.

The structural changes that occur when [Cu(pqx)(PPh(3))(2)](+) (pqx is 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoxaline) undergoes excitation through a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transition are investigated using resonance Raman excitation profiles coupled with density functional theory (DFT). The DFT calculations predict bond lengths to within 3 pm and absolute deviations of 7 cm(-1) for the vibrational frequencies of [Cu(pqx)(PPh(3))(2)](+). TD-DFT calculations of oscillator strengths (f = 0.
