Published: February 2024

A diphosphene ligand possessing a PP bond and a phosphineborane moiety in its molecule was synthesized. The reaction of the new bidentate diphosphene-phosphineborane ligand with [Rh(cod)]BF provided a cationic diphosphene-rhodium complex with -coordination through the η-PP and η-BH moieties. The complex was applied to the coupling reaction of benzimidazole with cyclohexylallene. The complex also underwent a ligand exchange reaction with N-donor reagents such as -methylpyrrolidine and ,,,-tetramethylethylenediamine. In particular, the addition reaction of pyridine with the rhodium complex provided an equilibrium mixture of the rhodium complex, pyridine, the diphosphene-phosphineborane ligand, and [Rh(pyridine)(cod)]BF.

Due to the presence of the pyridyl directing group, -aryl-2-aminopyridines can quickly form stable complexes with metals, leading to cyclization and functionalization reactions. A large number of N-heterocycles and nitrogen-based molecules can be easily constructed this direct and atom-economical cross-coupling strategy. In this review, we have highlighted the transformations of -aryl-2-aminopyridines in the presence of various transition metal catalysts, such as palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, cobalt and copper.

Base-stabilized rhodium borylene complex κ2-L(CO)Rh(BMes), 2; κ2-L = κ2-NN'-Rh,κ1-N-B-(2,5-[iPr2P=N(4-iPrC6H4)]2-N'(C4H2)-); Mes = mesityl, reacts with a series of alkynes (PhC≡C-R; R = Ph, Me, CO2Et, H) to yield unique structures whereby the alkyne has regioselectively added across boron and the carbon atom of a CO ligand. The resulting complexes, LRh[C(O)C(Ph)C(R)B(Mes)], 3R, react with additional CO to afford cycle-containing products, L(CO)Rh([[EQUATION]]), 5R, that ultimately release highly functionalized organic heterocycles of the form [[EQUATION]]=NPipp (Pipp = 4-iPrC6H4), 6. These oxaboroles, which were assembled from a primary hydroborane, CO, an alkyne, and an azide-generated NPipp, are structurally analogous to two of the five boron-containing therapeutics approved by the FDA.

Unprecedented (2E,4E,6Z,8Z)-nona-2,4,6,8-tetraenoate derivatives highly substituted by aryl groups have been synthesized by the reaction of rhodium complexes having aryl-substituted hexa-1,3,5-trienyl ligands with acrylates. These compounds have potential axial chirality, and their enantiomers are isolable by the chiral HPLC technique. Although the racemization barrier of isolated enantiomers was not high, it was found that a cyclic dimer synthesized by head-to-tail transesterification of a modified analog has quite a stable axial chirality even at a high temperature.

Tailoring rhodium-based metal-organic layers for parahydrogen-induced polarization: achieving 20% polarization of H in liquid phase.

Heterogeneous catalysts for parahydrogen-induced polarization (HET-PHIP) would be useful for producing highly sensitive contrasting agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the liquid phase, as they can be removed by simple filtration. Although homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts are highly efficient for PHIP, their sensitivity decreases when anchored on porous supports due to slow substrate diffusion to the active sites and rapid depolarization within the channels. To address this challenge, we explored 2D metal-organic layers (MOLs) as supports for active Rh complexes with diverse phosphine ligands and tunable hydrogenation activities, taking advantage of the accessible active sites and chemical adaptability of the MOLs.

Prediction of Pt, Ir, Ru, and Rh complexes light absorption in the therapeutic window for phototherapy using machine learning.

Effective light-based cancer treatments, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), rely on compounds that are activated by light efficiently, and absorb within the therapeutic window (600-850 nm). Traditional prediction methods for these light absorption properties, including Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), are often computationally intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we explore a machine learning (ML) approach to predict the light absorption in the region of the therapeutic window of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, and rhodium complexes, aiming at streamlining the screening of potential photoactivatable prodrugs.
