A synthetic procedure is described for the preparation of the tetradentate N2O2 ligands H2[H4]L1=6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-diaza-3,3-dimethyl-1-(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methyl- phenyl)heptane, H2[H2]L1 = 6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-diaza-3,3-dimethyl-1-(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)-1-heptene, and H2L1 = 6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-diaza-3,3-dimethyl-1-(2- hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylphenyl)-1,5-heptadiene, which are asymmetric derivatives of the ligands tetrahydrosalen, dihydrosalen, and salen. Complexes Ni[H4]L1, Ni[H2]L1, NiL1, CoL1, Ni[H4]L2 (([H4]L2)2- = anion of H2[H4]L2 = N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-5-methylbenzyl)- trans-(S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane), and NiL2 were prepared, characterized (VIS and IR ab­sorption, magnetic moment) and subjected to spectrophotometric titration with pyridine, to determine the equilibrium constants for adduct formation. Single crystal X-ray structure analy­ses were carried out for Ni[H2]L1 (monoclinic, P21/n; a = 8.926(4), b = 29.324(7), c = 8.411(4) Å; β = 95.3(1)°; Z = 4), CoL1 (monoclinic, C2/c; a = 25.389(2), b = 18.139(2), c = 10.179(1) Å; β = 112.227(6); Z = 8), and Ni[H4]L2·acetone (tetragonal, P41212; a = 13.928(3), c = 33.698(5) Å; Z = 8). In all of the three complexes, the N2O2-metal coordination core is square-planar. The skeleton of the tetradentate ligand is more or less twisted. The planar cobalt(II) complex CoL1 is a low spin d7 system with μexp = 2.02 BM at 298 K, whereas the planar complexes NiL1, Ni[H2]L1 and Ni[H4]L2 are diamagnetic (μexp = 0.28-0.64 BM). The blue solvate Ni[H4]L1- 3EtOH · H2O is paramagnetic (μexp = 3.04 BM), which points to octahedral coordination. In aerated acetone solution, the tetrahydrosalen-type complex Ni[H4]L1 activates dioxygen and one C-N bond is oxidatively dehydrogenated. The VIS spectrum of the dihydrosalen-type complex formed is virtually identical with that of the aldimine complex Ni[H2]L1. In the pres­ence of dioxygen, Co[H4]L1 and Co[H2]L1 are readily oxidized to CoL1 in acetone solution.

Using spectrophotometric titration technique, the processes of complex formation of some phenylazo-derivatives of methylphloroglucinol (MPG) containing hydroxo-, nitro- and nitroso-substituents were studied. The spectral criteria of neutral and ionized forms of the organic ligands in their different tautomeric forms were determined.It was detected that the complex formation is accompanied by formation of one or two chelate cycles which involve azo- or nitroso-fragments and neighboring OH-groups of the organic ligands. Different types of coordination lead to different changes in the electronic absorption spectra.The DFT-B3LYP modeling of a Ni(II) complex of α-hydroxyphenylazo MPG established the most probable coordination mode of the organic ligand: tridentate chelating dianion, distorted square coordination of Ni-cations including one water molecule.  The theoretical results are in a good accordance with the experimental data.

The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the reactions of formation of the ML and ML2 complexes of both reagents with cadmium(II) ions were determined by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance-pH curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of Cd in 10% v/v ethanol medium in the presence of 0.1% w/v Triton X-100 or 1% w/v Brij 35. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive spectrophotometric reagents for the determination of cadmium(II) ions (ε = 1.28-1.44 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 560 nm and pH 8.0-9.5) with a high colour contrast in the reaction (Δλmax ~117 nm) and a selectivity similar to that of other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAR, PAN, etc.).

The optical and acid-base characteristics of BrPADAP and ClPADAP were studied in mixed water-ethanol and water-DMF media and in 10% ethanol medium in the presence of cationic, anionic and nonionic tensides. The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the ML and ML2 complexes with zinc(II) ions were found by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were found for the spectrophotometric determination of Zn(II) in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100 or 1% Brij 35 in alkaline media with pH = 6.5-10. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive reagents (ε = 1.3-1.6 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 557 and 560 nm, respectively) for the determination of zinc with high colour contrast of the reaction (Δλ = 104 nm) and selectivity similar to that for the other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAN, PAR, etc.).

New complexes of Pt(II) with condensation derivatives of ethyl hydrazinoacetate and either 2-acetylpyridine or 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde, and of Pd(II) with the condensation derivative of ethyl hydrazinoacetate and 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and molar conductivity measurements. The complexes have a square planar geometry, ligands binding as bidentates in the neutral form, and the remaining two coordination sites being occupied by chloride ions. Biological activity of new complexes, and of previously synthesized Pd(II), Cd(II), Co(III) and Zn(II) complexes with this ligand type was evaluated by the brine shrimp test. All the complexes showed a moderate activity.

The binuclear title complex, di-μ-iodido-bis({2-[(benzylamino-κN)methyl]phenyl-κC1}palladium(II)), [Pd2I2(C14H14N)2], was prepared by reaction of [Pd{C6H4(CH2NHCH2Ph)-2}(μ-OAc)]2with NaI. It crystallizes with one discrete molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecule presents an iodide-bridged dimeric structure with acisoidarrangement with respect to theC,N-cyclopalladated ligands. Both PdIIatoms have a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Weak intermolecular contacts of the type C—H...Pd seem to have a significant influence on the arrangement of the molecules along thebaxis in the crystal.

The Aβ4−42 peptide is a major beta-amyloid species in the human brain, forming toxic aggregates related to Alzheimer’s Disease. It also strongly chelates Cu(II) at the N-terminal Phe-Arg-His ATCUN motif, as demonstrated in Aβ4−16 and Aβ4−9 model peptides. The resulting complex resists ROS generation and exchange processes and may help protect synapses from copper-related oxidative damage. Structural characterization of Cu(II)Aβ4−x complexes by NMR would help elucidate their biological function, but is precluded by Cu(II) paramagneticism. Instead we used an isostructural diamagnetic Pd(II)-Aβ4−16 complex as a model. To avoid a kinetic trapping of Pd(II) in an inappropriate transient structure, we designed an appropriate pH-dependent synthetic procedure for ATCUN Pd(II)Aβ4−16, controlled by CD, fluorescence and ESI-MS. Its assignments and structure at pH 6.5 were obtained by TOCSY, NOESY, ROESY, 1H-13C HSQC and 1H-15N HSQC NMR experiments, for natural abundance 13C and 15N isotopes, aided by corresponding experiments for Pd(II)-Phe-Arg-His. The square-planar Pd(II)-ATCUN coordination was confirmed, with the rest of the peptide mostly unstructured. The diffusion rates of Aβ4−16, Pd(II)-Aβ4−16 and their mixture determined using PGSE-NMR experiment suggested that the Pd(II) complex forms a supramolecular assembly with the apopeptide. These results confirm that Pd(II) substitution enables NMR studies of structural aspects of Cu(II)-Aβ complexes.

Several derivatives of the vaulted biaryl ligand VAPOL were prepared and evaluated as chiral ligands for aluminum Lewis acids in the catalytic asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions of methyl acrylate and methacrolein with cyclopentadiene. The substituents on VAPOL were introduced into the 6- and 6′-positions in an effort to further extend the chiral pocket of the major groove, which contains the phenol functions at the 4- and 4′-positions. The set of four new ligands that have been prepared have the following groups introduced into the 6- and 6′-positions of VAPOL: bromide, methyl, phenyl and 3,5-di-t-butylphenyl. All of these ligands give lower asymmetric inductions than the unsubstituted VAPOL for the Diels–Alder reactions of both methyl acrylate and methacrolein. The positive cooperativity of added carbonyl compounds on the autoinduction in the Diels–Alder reaction of methyl acrylate and cyclopentadiene were also investigated with the VANOL and VAPOL ligands as well as the 6,6′-dibromo and 6,6′-diphenyl derivatives of VAPOL. Only the reaction with VAPOL showed any significant positive cooperativity. The reaction with VANOL was sluggish at –78 °C, but at higher temperatures, the reaction did exhibit positive cooperativity that was similar to that of VAPOL. Finally, no positive cooperativity was observed with the VAPOL ligand for the reaction of methacrolein and cyclopentadiene.Key words: Diels–Alder, asymmetric catalysis, vaulted biaryl ligands, VANOL, VAPOL.

This study examines the binding and chemical stability of the platinum hexahalides K2PtCl6, K2PtBr6and K2PtI6when soaked into pre-grown hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) crystals as the protein host. Direct comparison of the iodo complex with the chloro and bromo complexes shows that the iodo complex is partly chemically transformed to a square-planar PtI3complex bound to the Nδatom of His15, a chemical behaviour that is not exhibited by the chloro or bromo complexes. Each complex does, however, bind to HEWL in its octahedral form either at one site (PtI6) or at two sites (PtBr6and PtCl6). As heavy-atom derivatives of a protein, the octahedral shape of the hexahalides could be helpful in cases of difficult-to-interpret electron-density maps as they would be recognisable `objects'.

Isocitrate lyase was purified from Phycomyces blakesleeanus N.R.R.L. 1555(-). The native enzyme has an Mr of 240,000. The enzyme appeared to be a tetramer with apparently identical subunits of Mr 62,000. The enzyme requires Mg2+ for activity, and the data suggest that the Mg2(+)-isocitrate complex is the true substrate and that Mg2+ ions act as a non-essential activator. The kinetic mechanism of the enzyme was investigated by using product and dead-end inhibitors of the cleavage and condensation reactions. The data indicated an ordered Uni Bi mechanism and the kinetic constants of the model were calculated. The spectrophotometric titration of thiol groups in Phycomyces isocitrate lyase with 5.5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) gave two free thiol groups per subunit of enzyme in the native state and three in the denatured state. The isocitrate lyase was completely inactivated by iodoacetate, with non-linear kinetics. The inactivation data suggest that the enzyme has two classes of modifiable thiol groups. The results are also in accord with the formation of a non-covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex before irreversible modification of the enzyme. Both the equilibrium constants for formation of the complex and the first-order rate constants for the irreversible modification step were determined. The partial protective effect of isocitrate and Mg2+ against iodoacetate inactivation was investigated in a preliminary form.
