RESUMO
AC susceptibility measurements of [FeIII(L5)(NCSe)] reveal a field supported slow magnetic relaxation. On cooling, the relaxation time of the high-frequency fraction decreases which is a sign of reciprocating thermal behaviour. The relaxation time for the low-frequency mode at T = 2.0 K is as high as τ(LF) = 2.0 s.
RESUMO
Two new complexes, bis-[4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N2,N6]bis-(dicyanamide-κN8)copper(II), [Cu(abpt)2(dca)2] (1) and bis-[4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ2N2,N6]bis-(dicyanamide-κN8)cobalt(II), [Co(abpt)2(dca)2] (2), have been prepared and magneto-structurally characterised. Single crystal studies of both complexes have shown that their crystal structures are molecular, in which the central atoms are six-coordinated in the form of a distorted octahedron by two bidentate abpt and two monodentate dca ligands. Even if both complexes have the same composition and crystallize in the same P1Ì space group, they are not isostructural. Both structures contain strong intermolecular N-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. IR spectra are consistent with the solved structures of both complexes and confirmed the terminal character of the dca ligands and the bidentate coordination of the abpt ligands. The analysis of the magnetic properties showed that both complexes exhibit field-induced slow spin-phonon relaxation. In both complexes, the slow spin-phonon relaxation is influenced by a severe phonon-bottleneck effect that affects the direct process, a dominant relaxation mechanism at low temperatures in both complexes. The phonon-bottleneck effect in 1 was suppressed by simply reducing the crystallite size, and further analysis of the field dependence of the relaxation time yielded the characteristic energy of vibrational modes of 11 cm-1 participating in the Raman process at low magnetic fields. The analysis of magnetic properties and ab initio calculations confirmed that 2 represents a system with a moderate uniaxial anisotropy yielding an average energy barrier of 82 cm-1 (from all four nonequivalent Co(II) sites in the structure of 2).
RESUMO
A versatile strategy for the enantioselective synthesis of a benzo[c]oxepine structural core containing natural secondary metabolites was developed. The key steps of the synthetic approach include ring-closing alkene metathesis for seven-member ring construction, the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction for the installation of the double bond and Katsuki-Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation for the introduction of chiral centers. The first total synthesis and absolute configuration assignment of heterocornol D (3a) were achieved. Four stereoisomers, 3a, ent-3a, 3b and ent-3b, of this natural polyketide were prepared, starting with 2,6-dihydroxy benzoic acid and divinyl carbinol. The absolute and relative configuration of heterocornol D was assigned via single-crystal X-ray analysis. The extension of the described synthetic approach is further presented with the synthesis of heterocornol C by applying the ether group reduction method to the lactone.

Two hexacoordinate Co(II) complexes [Co(hfac)2(etpy)2] (1) and [Co(hfac)2(bzpyCl)2] (2) were synthesized and spectrally and structurally characterized. The {CoO4N2} chromophore adopts a geometry of the elongated tetragonal bipyramid with a small o-rhombic component. This less common arrangement causes the magnetic data to need be analysed using the Griffith-Figgis model, instead of the commonly used spin-Hamiltonian with zero-field splitting parameters D and E. In the case of the elongated bipyramid for d7 complexes, the source of the magnetic anisotropy of an easy-axis type is the axial crystal field splitting Δax. The ab initio CASSCF calculations followed by the NEVPT2 module confirm that the ground electronic term is quasi-degenerate owing to the splitting of the 4Eg (D4h) mother term. The lowest spin-orbit multiplets appear as four Kramers doublets belonging to the Γ5 irreducible representation of the double point group D2'. They exhibit a serious mixing of the |±1/2ã and |±3/2ã spins which reflects a sizable effect of the spin-orbit coupling. Both complexes exhibit field-supported slow magnetic relaxation governed by the Raman process.
RESUMO
Two hexacoordinate Mn(II) complexes containing a chelating residue of hexafluoroacetylacetone and (Cl-substituted) 4-benzylpyridine show DC magnetic functions typical for S = 5/2 spin systems: g â¼ 2, D - small. The AC susceptibility confirms a field supported slow magnetic relaxation in which the over-barrier Orbach relaxation process does not play a role. Both systems possess two or three slow relaxation channels.
RESUMO
In this contribution, four new compounds synthesized from 4-hydroxycoumarin and tyramine/octopamine/norepinephrine/3-methoxytyramine are characterized spectroscopically (IR and NMR), chromatographically (UHPLC-DAD), and structurally at the B3LYP/6-311++G*(d,p) level of theory. The crystal structure of the 4-hydroxycoumarin-octopamine derivative was solved and used as a starting geometry for structural optimization. Along with the previously obtained 4-hydroxycoumarin-dopamine derivative, the intramolecular interactions governing the stability of these compounds were quantified by NBO and QTAIM analyses. Condensed Fukui functions and the HOMO-LUMO gap were calculated and correlated with the number and position of OH groups in the structures. In vitro cytotoxicity experiments were performed to elucidate the possible antitumor activity of the tested substances. For this purpose, four cell lines were selected, namely human colon cancer (HCT-116), human adenocarcinoma (HeLa), human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and healthy human lung fibroblast (MRC-5) lines. A significant selectivity towards colorectal carcinoma cells was observed. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies with carbonic anhydrase, a prognostic factor in several cancers, complemented the experimental results. The calculated MD binding energies coincided well with the experimental activity, and indicated 4-hydroxycoumarin-dopamine and 4-hydroxycoumarin-3-methoxytyramine as the most active compounds. The ecotoxicology assessment proved that the obtained compounds have a low impact on the daphnia, fish, and green algae population.

In the title compound, C22H20O3, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings linked by the methine group is 81.265â (4)° and the eth-oxy side chain adopts an extended conformation [C-O-C-C = 177.24â (10)°]. In the crystal, weak C-Hâ¯π and C-Hâ¯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into sheets.
RESUMO
The new title Schiff base compound, C11H15BrN2O2, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. It was prepared by the condensation reaction of 5-bromo-2-hy-droxy-benzaldehyde and amino-ethyl-ethano-lamine. There is an intra-molecular O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bond with an S(6) ring motif. Moreover, there are inter-molecular C-Hâ¯N, C-Hâ¯O and Brâ¯O inter-actions in the crystal structure of the title compound.
RESUMO
The structure of the title compound, [K2(C4H7O2)2(H2O)] n , is composed of stacked sandwiches, which are formed by cation-oxygen bilayers surrounded by methyl-ethyl hydro-phobic chains. These sandwiches are held together by van der Waals inter-actions between the methyl-ethyl groups. The methyl-ethyl groups are disordered over two positions with occupancies 0.801â (3):0.199â (3). The potassium cations are coordinated by seven O atoms, which form an irregular polyhedron. There is a water mol-ecule, the oxygen atom of which is situated in a special position on a twofold axis (Wyckoff position 4e). The water H atoms are involved in Owater-Hâ¯Ocarbox-yl hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. These hydrogen bonds are situated within the cation-oxygen, i.e. hydro-philic, bilayer.
RESUMO
The crystal structures of catena-poly[[µ-aqua-di-aqua-(µ3-2-methyl-propano-ato-κ4 O:O,O':O')calcium] 2-methyl-propano-ate dihydrate], {[Ca(C4H7O2)(H2O)3](C4H7O2)·2H2O} n , (I), catena-poly[[µ-aqua-di-aqua-(µ3-2-methyl-propano-ato-κ4 O:O,O':O')strontium] 2-methyl-propano-ate dihydrate], {[Sr(C4H7O2)(H2O)3](C4H7O2)·2H2O} n , (II), and catena-poly[[µ-aqua-di-aqua-(µ3-2-methyl-propano-ato-κ4 O:O,O':O')(calcium/strontium)] 2-methyl-propano-ate dihydrate], {[(Ca,Sr)(C4H7O2)(H2O)3](C4H7O2)·2H2O} n , (III), are related. (III) can be considered as an Sr-containing solid solution of (I), with Ca2+ and Sr2+ occupationally disordered in the ratio 0.7936â (16):0.2064â (16). (I)/(III) and (II) are homeotypic with different space groups of Pbca and Cmce, respectively. All the title crystal structures are composed of hydro-philic sheets containing the cations, carboxyl-ate groups as well as water mol-ecules. The hydro-phobic layers, which consist of 2-methyl-propano-ate chains, surround the hydro-philic sheets from both sides, thus forming a sandwich-like structure extending parallel to (001). The cohesion forces within these sheets are the cation-oxygen bonds and O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. Stacking of these sandwiches along [001] is consolidated by van der Waals forces. The structures contain columns defined by the cation-oxygen inter-actions in which just one symmetry-independent 2-methyl-propano-ate anion is included, together with three water mol-ecules. These mol-ecules participate in an irregular coordination polyhedron composed of eight O atoms around the cation. Additional water mol-ecules as well as the second 2-methyl-propano-ate anion are not part of the coordination sphere. These mol-ecules are connected to the above-mentioned columns by O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. In (II), the Sr2+ cation, two of the coordinating water mol-ecules and both anions are situated on a mirror plane with a concomitant positional disorder of the 2-methyl-propyl groups; the non-coordinating water mol-ecule also shows positional disorder of its hydrogen atom.
RESUMO
The title alkali propano-ates poly[(µ5-propano-ato)alkali(I)], M +(C2H5COO)-, with alkali/M + = Na+, K+, Rb+ and Cs+, show close structural similarity, which is manifested by the coordination of the cations by six oxygen atoms in a chessboard motif, forming a bilayer. This bilayer is situated between hydro-phobic layers composed of dangling ethyl chains from the carboxyl-ate groups. Stacking of these two-dimensional sandwiches, which are parallel to (001), forms the title structures. Each metal cation is coordinated by six O atoms in the form of a distorted trigonal prism. One pair of these oxygen atoms belongs to a bridging, bidentately coordinating carboxyl-ate anion, while each of the other four oxygen atoms belongs to different carboxyl-ate groups, which are in a bridging monodentate mode. Despite the close similarity, each of the studied alkali propano-ates crystallizes in a different space group. The atoms are in general positions, except for the cation in K+(C2H5COO)-, which is situated on a mirror plane. Positional disorder of the methyl groups that are disordered over two positions is present in the Na+ and K+ propano-ates, in contrast to the Rb+ and Cs+ propano-ates. In the Na+ compound, the occupational parameters of the disordered methyl groups are different compared to the K+ compound where they are equal. This difference results in doubling of the a unit-cell parameter of the Na+ compound with respect to that of the K+ compound, otherwise the structures are homeotypic. In Cs+ propano-ate, a disorder of the methyl H atoms is observed.
RESUMO
Caesium propano-ate monohydrate, Cs+·C3H5O2 -·H2O, is composed of two symmetry-independent Cs+ cations, which are situated on the special position 4e of space group P 21 m, one symmetry-independent propano-ate mol-ecule in a general position and a pair of water mol-ecules also situated on special position 4e. Two pairs of these symmetry-independent cations, four propano-ate mol-ecules and two pairs of symmetry-independent water mol-ecules form a repeat unit. These units form columns that are directed along the c axis and possess symmetry mm2. There are four such columns passing through each unit cell. Each column is inter-connected to its neighbours by four bifurcated three-centred Ow-Hâ¯Op (w = water, p = propano-ate) hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. There are also four intra-molecular Ow-Hâ¯Op hydrogen bonds of moderate strength within each column. One Cs+ cation is coordinated by six oxygen atoms (two water and four carboxyl-ate) in a trigonal-prismatic geometry, while the other Cs+ cation is coordinated by four water and four carboxyl-ate O atoms in a tetra-gonal-prismatic arrangement.
RESUMO
Two novel Co(II) fenamato complexes containing bathocuproine (bcp), namely [Co(bcp)(flu)2] (1) and [Co(bcp)(nif)2] (2) (fluâ¯=â¯flufenamato, nifâ¯=â¯niflumato) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray structure analysis as well as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Investigation of their molecular structure revealed that both complexes are isostructural and form analogous complex molecules, with a Co(II) atom hexacoordinated by two nitrogen atoms of bcp and four oxygen atoms of two chelate bonded flu (1) and nif (2) ligands in a distorted octahedral arrangement. Surprisingly, the results of cytotoxicity experiments on four cancer cell lines (HeLa, HT-29, PC-3 and MCF-7) have revealed that despite similar structure of the complexes, the nif complex exhibits significantly higher activity, being the most effective against the PC-3 cell line (IC50 (MTT)â¯=â¯6.11⯱â¯1.95⯵M). Further studies performed on PC-3 cell line have shown that the mechanism of the cytotoxic action of nif complex (2) might involve activation of autophagic processes and apoptosis, while for its flu analogue (1) apoptosis was detected.

Isoalkyl (isoalkylâ¯=â¯isopropyl-(L1), isobutyl-(L2) and isoamyl-(L3)) derivatives of thiosalicylic acid (TSA) were prepared by alkylation of TSA with corresponding isoalkyl-chlorides in the alkaline water-ethanol solution. The new free copper(II)-complexes with corresponding S-isoalkyl derivatives of TSA (C1-copper(II)-complex with S-isopropyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid, C2-copper(II)-complex with S-isobutyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid and C3-copper(II)-complex with S-isoamyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid) have been synthesized by direct reaction of copper(II)-nitrate with ligand precursor and then characterized by microanalysis, infrared spectra (IR) and EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectra. The spectroscopically predicted structure of the obtained binuclear copper(II)-complex with S-isopropyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by slow crystallization from a water solution. Newly synthesized precursors S-isoalkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid and corresponding copper(II)-complexes moderately reduced viability of human and murine lung cancer cells, they showed similar cytotoxic effect on human colorectal cancer cells as cisplatin and lower cytotoxic effect than cisplatin toward normal fibroblasts, evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) colorimetric technique. All new complexes exhibited apoptotic effect toward lung cancer cells, stronger than cisplatin, whereas only C3 induced significant apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Complex C1 showed significant antiproliferative effect against murine lung cancer cells, LLC1, while C2 reduced expression of Ki67 in human colorectal cancer cells. All tested complexes induced cell cycle arrest of HCT116 cells in G2/M phase.

Aim: We investigated the antitumor effects of zinc(II) complex with S-propyl thiosalicylic acid [Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2] in 4T1 murine breast cancer model. Results: The Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2 complex reduced primary tumor growth in vivo and induced tumor cell apoptosis. The Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2 complex disrupted the balance between pro- and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family members in 4T1 cells and induced G1/S cell cycle arrest. The Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2 complex increased the percentage of p16, p21 and p27 positive 4T1 cells. There was a significantly decrease in expression of STAT3 and its targets c-Myc and cyclin D3 in 4T1 cells treated with the Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2 complex thus contributing to G1/S cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. Conclusion: Our data suggest that the Zn(S-pr-thiosal)2 complex restricted tumor growth through induction of mitochondrial-driven apoptosis and suppression of cell cycle progression.

The title compound, {[Ba7(C3H5O2)14]·0.946C3H6O2·4H2O} n , is represented by a metal-organic framework structure that is held together by Ba-O-Ba bonds, as well as by O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. The structure comprises of four independent Ba2+ cations (one of which is situated on a twofold rotation axis), seven independent propionate and two independent water mol-ecules. The bond-valence sums of all the cations indicate a slight overbonding. There is also an occupationally, as well as a positionally disordered propionic acid mol-ecule present in the structure. Its occupation is slightly lower than the full occupation while the disordered mol-ecules occupy two positions related by a rotation about a twofold rotation axis. In addition, the methyl group in the symmetry-independent propionic acid mol-ecule is also disordered, and occupies two positions. Each propionic acid mol-ecule coordinates to just one cation from a pair of symmetry-equivalent Ba2+ sites and is simultaneously bonded by an O-Hâ¯Opropionate hydrogen bond. This means that on a microscopic scale, the coordination number of the corresponding Ba2+ site is either 9 or 10. The methyl as well as hy-droxy hydrogen atoms of the disordered propionic acid mol-ecule were not determined.
RESUMO
The crystal structure of the title complex, [Pb3(C4H7O2)6(H2O)2] n , was redetermined on basis of modern CCD-based single-crystal X-ray data at 120â K. The current study basically confirms the previous report [Fallon et al. (1997 â¸). Polyhedron, 16, 19-23] at 190â K, but with higher accuracy and precision. In particular, positional disorder of one of the 2-methyl-propano-ate anions over two sets of sites was resolved, showing a refined ratio of the disorder components of 0.535â (9):0.465â (9). The three independent cations in the structure have coordination numbers of [7 + 1], [6 + 1], and [5 + 3], with O atoms belonging either to carboxyl-ate groups or water mol-ecules. This arrangement leads to the formation of sheets parallel to (01), whereby the hydro-phobic 2-methyl-propanyl groups of the anions are oriented above and below the hydro-philic sheets to form a layered structure. Within a sheet, hydrogen bonds of the type Owater-Hâ¯O are formed, whereas the hydro-phobic groups between adjacent layers inter-act through van der Waals forces.
RESUMO
The newly synthesized coumarin derivative with dopamine, 3-(1-((3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)amino)ethylidene)-chroman-2,4-dione, was completely structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. It was shown that several types of hydrogen bonds are present, which additionally stabilize the structure. The compound was tested in vitro against different cell lines, healthy human keratinocyte HaCaT, cervical squamous cell carcinoma SiHa, breast carcinoma MCF7, and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2. Compared to control, the new derivate showed a stronger effect on both healthy and carcinoma cell lines, with the most prominent effect on the breast carcinoma MCF7 cell line. The molecular docking study, obtained for ten different conformations of the new compound, showed its inhibitory nature against CDKS protein. Lower inhibition constant, relative to one of 4-OH-coumarine, proved stronger and more numerous interactions with CDKS protein. These interactions were carefully examined for both parent molecule and derivative and explained from a structural point of view.
