The complexes MX5(THF) (M = Nb, X = Cl, 2a; M = Ta, X = F, 2c, X = Cl, 2d) and [MX4(THF){O(CH2)(4)- [GRAPHICS] O(CH2)(3)CH2)}][MX6] (M = Nb, X = Cl, 3a; M = Ta, X = Cl, 3d, X = Br, 3e, X = l, 3f) result from reactions of MX5 with 0.5 and 1.5 equiv of THF, respectively. Compounds 3 contain the unprecedented 4-(tetrahydrofuran-1-ium)-butan-1-oxo ligand and are likely to play a role in the course of THF polymerization catalyzed by MX5. The addition of L (L = 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, 1,4-dioxane) to MX5 results in the formation of the hexacoordinated complexes MX5(L). The molecular structures of 2d, 3d, and NbCl5(dioxane), 6a, have been ascertained by X-ray diffraction studies,

Diiron bis-cyclopentadienyl complexes as transfer hydrogenation catalysts: The key role of the bridging aminocarbyne ligand

Giulio Bresciani, Lorenzo Biancalana, Stefano Zacchini, Guido Pampaloni, Gianluca Ciancaleoni, Fabio Marchetti

Summary: The catalytic activity of a series of diiron complexes based on the {Fe2Cp2(CO)(x)} core (x = 2-3) and containing a bridging aminocarbyne ligand was screened in the transfer hydrogenation reaction of cyclohexanone from isopropanol. The best catalyst among these complexes was [Fe2Cp2(CN)(CO)(mu-CO){mu-CN(Me)(4-C6H4OMe)}], 3a, which exhibited moderate activity and showed a carbyne-centered mechanism, stabilized by the cyanide co-ligand, as supported by DFT calculations and IR analyses.

Alberto Gobbo, Xinyuan Ma, Gianluca Ciancaleoni, Stefano Zacchini, Lorenzo Biancalana, Massimo Guelfi, Guido Pampaloni, Steven P. Nolan, Fabio Marchetti

Summary: The potential of ruthenium(II) arene complexes in catalytic transfer hydrogenation has been widely investigated, but studies on homologous compounds with tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane (tpm) ligand are lacking. In this study, RuCl(kappa(3)-tpm)(PPh3)(2)]Cl reacted with various nitrogen ligands to form [RuCl(kappa(3)-tpm)(PPh3)(L)]Cl (L=NCMe, NCPh, imidazole) in nearly quantitative yields. These complexes were evaluated as catalytic precursors in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones, and complex 2 exhibited the highest activity.

Diiron Aminocarbyne Complexes with NCE- Ligands (E = O, S, Se)

Giulio Bresciani, Stefano Zacchini, Guido Pampaloni, Marco Bortoluzzi, Fabio Marchetti

Summary: Diiron mu-aminocarbyne complexes can be synthesized by reacting sodium cyanate and tetrabutylammonium thiocyanate with pre-prepared diiron aminocarbyne complexes, yielding different substituted diiron cyanide complexes with yields of 67-81%, through substitution of the acetonitrile ligand. When reacted with potassium selenocyanate at reflux temperature, cyanide complexes can be obtained with yields of 45-67%. When reacted at room temperature in acetone, a small amount of potassium selenocyanate complexes can be obtained. All products were fully characterized and the chiral structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. DFT calculations shed light on the coordination mode and stability of the {NCSe-} fragment.

Adding Diversity to Diiron Aminocarbyne Complexes with Amine Ligands

Chiara Saviozzi, Sara Stocchetti, Giulio Bresciani, Lorenzo Biancalana, Guido Pampaloni, Fabio Marchetti

Summary: The reactions between diiron aminocarbyne complexes and primary amines resulted in the replacement of the acetonitrile ligand and the formation of new diiron complexes. The diiron-oxazolidinone conjugate was also successfully prepared. However, the reactions with NHEt2 in the presence of Me3NO led to unstable products. The behavior of the diiron complexes in aqueous media was also studied.

A proficient multivariate approach for iron(ii) spin crossover behaviour modelling in the solid state

Lorenzo Marchi, Simone Fantuzzi, Andrea Cingolani, Alessandro Messori, Rita Mazzoni, Stefano Zacchini, Marina Cocchi, Luca Rigamonti

Summary: Iron(ii) bis-pyrazolilpyridyl (bpp-R) complexes [Fe(bpp-R)(2)](X)(2)·solvent undergo spin transition from high spin (S = 2, HS) to low spin (S = 0, LS) in the solid state, known as spin crossover (SCO). The distortion of the octahedral coordination environment is affected by crystal packing and modulates the SCO behavior. This study used a multivariate approach combining Principal Component Analysis and Partial Least Squares regression to analyze the structural data of HS structures and efficiently model and predict the spin transition temperature T-1/2 for complexes with different R groups, X- anions, and co-crystallized solvents.

The choice of μ-vinyliminium ligand substituents is key to optimize the antiproliferative activity of related diiron complexes

Beatrice Campanella, Simona Braccini, Giulio Bresciani, Michele De Franco, Valentina Gandin, Federica Chiellini, Alessandro Pratesi, Guido Pampaloni, Lorenzo Biancalana, Fabio Marchetti

Summary: Diiron vinyliminium complexes are promising organometallics with potential anticancer activity. The synthesis and evaluation of [Fe2Cp2(CO)(mu-CO){mu-eta(1):eta(3)-C(R-3)C(R-4)CN(R-1)(R-2)}]CF3SO3 (2a-c, 4a-d) complexes were performed, including their solubility in D2O, Log P-ow, stability in D2O/Me2SO-d(6) mixture, and antiproliferative activity against ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and A2780cisR, as well as the nontumoral cell line Balb/3T3 clone A31. The cytotoxicity data of 50 vinyliminium complexes were correlated with the structural properties, showing a positive correlation between octanol-water partition coefficient and relative antiproliferative activity on ovarian cancer cell lines. However, the effects of different substituents provided guidelines for the development of novel, more effective compounds. Three additional complexes (4p-r) were designed, synthesized, and biologically investigated, revealing their ability to inhibit thioredoxin reductase enzyme and induce cancer cell production of reactive oxygen species.
