The 4-(thiolmethyl)-7-(diethylamino)-2H-chromen-2-one ligand has been synthesized and used as chromophore in several mono- and dinuclear gold(I) compounds that contain a phosphane at the second coordination position. Four final products were able to obtain in pure form containing one coumarin and one phosphane ligand in the case of PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13.7]decane) and PPh (triphenylphosphine); one coumarin and two gold(I)-phosphane groups in the case of phosphane=DAPTA (3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) and two coumarin and two gold(I) atoms in the case of phosphane=DPEphos (bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether), when it was used a diphosphane. Other diphosphane ligands used were not able to give the desired products in pure form. The luminescent properties of the compounds are governed by the fluorescence of the coumarin moiety in all compounds both for measurements carried out in solution and also immobilized in PMMA organic matrix. Phosphorescence emission can be detected in all cases at 77 K both for the uncoordinated coumarin ligand and the gold(I) derivatives, being more favoured in the presence of the gold(I) heavy atom. The compounds have been used as photosensitizers to generate O with moderate quantum yields values.

Two new zinc(II) complexes, tri-ethyl-ammonium di-chlorido-[2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (CHN){Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), and bis-(tri-ethyl-ammonium) {2,2'-[1,4-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}bis-[di-chlorido-zinc(II)], (CHN)[Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI-MS spectrometry, H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-ol () and ,'-bis-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)benzene-1,4-di-amine () were deprotonated by tri-ethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion EtNH, which inter-acts an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The Zn atoms have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal () and distorted tetra-hedral () geometries with a coord-ination number of four, coordinating with the ligands N and O atoms.

Transition metal complexes has been explored in the treatment of tumors in photodynamic theray (PDT) or photothermal therapy (PTT) and Osmium complex attracts attentration due to its lower toxicity and longer absorption wavelength. However, there was no report about binuclear Os complex for combined therapy of PDT and PTT which could have a synergistic effect and improve the effectiveness. Herein, we synthesis of mono/dinuclear Os complexes (OsY1, OsY2) with dual PDT/PTT capabilities under a single near-infrared (NIR) excitation wavelength.

Article Synopsis
  • The use of tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) has led to their widespread presence in the environment, contributing to antibiotic resistance and altering ecological balances.
  • TCs need metal ions, like Co, Ni, and Cu, for their effectiveness and interactions, which impact their chemical behavior and biological roles.
  • Research findings indicate that metal-TC complexes have significant effects on processes like catechol oxidation and the antibiotic activity of TCs, suggesting TCs may have broader ecological functions beyond just being antibiotics.

A diprotic bis(β-thioketoimine) ligand precursor featuring a flexible 4,4'-methylbis(aniline) linker, H2, was synthesised treatment of the corresponding bis(β-ketoimine) with Lawesson's reagent. Lithiation of H2 and coordination with one equivalent of d-block metal(II) chlorides MCl(THF) (M = Fe, Co and Zn) yielded a corresponding series of homoleptic dinuclear complexes, [M(μ-2)]. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals a tetrahedral geometry for the two metals and a double-stranded helicate structure arising from inter-strand face-face π-stacking.
