RESUMO
The development of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-exhibiting compounds heavily relies on our evolving comprehension of their behavior at interfaces, an understanding that still remains notably limited. In this study, we explored the preparation of two-dimensional (2D) sensing films from 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline-based diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles displaying AIE via the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. This systematic investigation highlights the key role of the heteroatom-containing tether of 2,3-diphenylquinoxalines in the successful fabrication of Langmuir layers at the air-water interface and the transfer of AIE-emitting supramolecular aggregates onto solid supports. Using both diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles, we prepared AIE-exhibiting monolayer films containing emissive supramolecular aggregates on silica, mica, and quartz glass and characterized them using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, and fluorescence microscopy. We also obtained multilayer AIE-emitting films through the LB technique, albeit with increased complexity. Remarkably, by employing the smallest macrocycle N2C3Q, we successfully prepared LB films suitable for the visual detection of acidic vapors. This sensing material, which contains a much lesser amount of organic dye compared with traditional drop-cast films, can be regenerated and utilized for real-life sample analysis, such as monitoring the presence of ammonia in the air and the freshness of meat.
RESUMO
The development of luminescent molecular materials has advanced rapidly in recent decades, primarily driven by the synthesis of novel emissive compounds and a deeper understanding of excited-state mechanisms. Herein, we report a streamlined synthetic approach to light-emitting diazapolyoxa- and polyazamacrocycles N2CnOxQ and NyCnQ (n = 3-10; x = 2, 3; y = 2-5), incorporating a 2,3-diphenylquinoxaline residue (DPQ). This synthetic strategy based on macrocyclization through Pd-catalyzed amination reaction yields the target macrocycles in good or high yields (46-92%), enabling precise control over their structural parameters. A key role of the PhPF-tBu ligand belonging to the JosiPhos series in this macrocyclization was elucidated through DFT computation. This macrocyclization reaction eliminates the need for complex protecting-deprotecting procedures of secondary amine groups, offering a convenient and scalable method for the preparation of target compounds. Moreover, it boasts a potentially broad substrate scope, making it promising for structure-properties studies within photophysics, sensor development, and material synthesis. Photophysical properties of representative macrocycles were investigated, employing spectroscopic techniques and DFT computation. It was demonstrated that DPQ-containing macrocycles display aggregation-induced emission in a DCM-hexane solvent mixture despite the presence of flexible tethers within their structures. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of a representative compound N2C8O3Q allowed us to gain deeper insight into its molecular structure and AIE behaviour. The emissive aggregates of the N2C10O3Q macrocycle were immobilized on filter paper yielding AIE-exhibiting test strips for measuring acidity in vapors and in aqueous media.
RESUMO
The ß-substituted porphyrinoids commonly used to form functional assembled systems in nature yet are still scarcely used in material chemistry probably due to the laborious synthesis of these compounds. In this work, ß-octa[(4-diethoxyphosphoryl)phenyl]porphyrin (2HOPPP) and its metal (Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II)) complexes were prepared in good yields. These highly soluble chromophores were characterized in solution using spectroscopic (NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence), electrochemical, and spectroelectrochemical methods. Attachment of the electron-deficient residue (ArP(O)(OEt)2) to the porphyrin macrocycle leads to easier reductions and harder oxidations of the macrocycle for all complexes studied as compared to corresponding meso-tetra[4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)phenyl]porphyrin derivatives reported previously. We demonstrated that the strong electron-deficient character of the MOPPP porphyrins results principally from the increase in the number of electron-withdrawing groups at the periphery of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle. Electron-deficient porphyrins are highly required in supramolecular and material chemistry in part due to their ability to form supramolecular assemblies via the coordination of axial ligands to the central metal atom. According to single-crystal X-ray data, ZnOPPP forms in the crystalline phase dimers in which each of the two tetrapyrrolic macrocycles is connected through an unusual combination of hydrogen bonding of two phosphoryl groups and the water molecules axially coordinated to the zinc atom of the partner molecule. The involvement of water molecules in porphyrin binding allows for an increase of distance between two porphyrin mean N4 planes, up to 4.478 Å. The offset of phosphoryl groups attached to the macrocycle through a 1,4-phenylene spacer withdraws the whole porphyrin macrocycle of one molecule from spatial overlap with the macrocycle of a partner molecule and increases the Zn-Zn distance up to 10.372 Å. This still unknown type of porphyrin dimers allows one to get deeper insights into the organization of naturally occurring tetrapyrrolic macrocycles. ZnOPPP also forms a labile dimeric complex in 5.3 × 10-7-5.8 × 10-5 M chloroform solutions. In contrast, other complexes prepared in this work exist as monomeric species under these experimental conditions. The self-association constant of ZnOPPP has been determined by electronic absorption spectroscopy.
RESUMO
This work is focused on the age-old challenge of developing optical sensors for acidity measurements in low-pH aqueous solutions (pH < 5). We prepared halochromic (3-aminopropyl)amino-substituted quinoxalines QC1 and QC8 possessing different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and investigated them as molecular components of pH sensors. Embedding the hydrophilic quinoxaline QC1 into the agarose matrix by sol-gel process allows for fabrication of pH responsive polymers and paper test strips. The emissive films thus obtained can be used for a semi-quantitative dual-color visualization of pH in aqueous solution. Being exposed to acidic solutions with pH in the range of 1-5, they rapidly give different color changes when the analysis is performed in daylight or under irradiation at 365 nm. Compared with classical non-emissive pH indicators, these dual-responsive pH sensors allow for an increase in the accuracy of pH measurements, particularly in complex environmental samples. pH indicators for quantitative analysis can be prepared by the immobilization of amphiphilic quinoxaline QC8 using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir-Schäfer (LS) techniques. Compound QC8 possessing two long alkyl chains (n-C8H17) forms stable Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface, and these monolayers can be successfully transferred onto hydrophilic quartz and hydrophobic polyvinylchlorid (PVC) substrates using LB and LS techniques, respectively. The 30-layer films thus obtained are emissive, reveal excellent stability, and can be used as dual-responsive pH indicators for quantitative measurements in real-world samples with pH in the range of 1-3. The films can be regenerated by immersing them in basic aqueous solution (pH = 11) and can be reused at least five times.
RESUMO
Three series of porphyrins containing a Zn(II) central metal ion and zero, one, or two phosphoryl groups at the meso-positions of the macrocycle were characterized as to their electrochemical, spectroscopic, and structural properties in nonaqueous media. The investigated compounds are represented as 5,15-bis(4'-R-phenyl)porphyrinatozinc, 10-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-bis(4'-R-phenyl)porphyrinatozinc, and 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-bis(4'-R-phenyl)porphyrinatozinc, where R = OMe, Me, H, or CN. Linear-free energy relationships are observed between the measured redox potentials at room temperature and the electronic nature of the substituents at the 5 and 15 meso-phenyl groups of the macrocycle. The mono- and bis-phosphoryl derivatives with two p-cyanophenyl substituents provide electrochemical evidence for aggregation at low temperature, a greater degree of aggregation being observed in the case of 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-bis(4'-cyanophenyl)porphyrinatozinc(II). This compound was characterized in further detail by variable-temperature 1H and 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy in solution combined with single crystal X-ray analysis in the solid state. The data obtained from these measurements indicate that this porphyrin has a dimeric structure in CDCl3 at 223-323 K but forms a 2D polymeric network when it is crystallized from a CHCl3/MeOH mixture.
RESUMO
Chemoselective palladium-catalyzed arylation of polyamines with 6-bromoquinoline has been explored to prepare chelators for the detection of metal cations in aqueous media. The introduction of a single aromatic moiety into non-protected polyamine molecules was achieved using the commercially available Pd(dba)2/BINAP precatalyst to afford nitrogen chelators, in which the aromatic signalling unit is directly attached to the polyamine residue. Water-soluble receptors were then synthesized using N-alkylation of these polyamines by hydrophilic coordinating residues. By combining rich photophysical properties of the 6-aminoquinoline unit with a high coordination affinity of chelating polyamines and a hydrophilic character of carboxamido-substituted phosphonic acid diesters in a single molecular device, we synthesized chemosensor 5 for selective double-channel (UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies) detection of CuII ions in aqueous media at physiological levels. This receptor is suitable for the analysis of drinking water and fabrication of paper test strips for the naked-eye detection of CuII ions under UV-light. By increasing the number of donor sites we also obtained chemosensor 6 which is efficient for the detection of HgII ions. Moreover, chemosensor 6 is also suitable for multiple detection of metal ions because it chelates not only HgII but also CuII and ZnII ions displaying different responses of emission in the presence of these three cations.
RESUMO
The synthesis and structural characterization, both in solution by means of 1H and 31P NMR and UV-vis spectroscopies and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction on single crystal, of a series of gallium(III) and indium(III) meso-mono(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins bearing different peripheral substituents as well as the corresponding monoesters and phosphonic acids are reported. This work describes the first example of the X-ray structure of a self-assembled dimer formed via strong binding between the oxygen atom of the phosphonate substituent and the gallium(III) cations of adjacent porphyrin molecules [Ga-O = 1.9708(13) Å].
RESUMO
Reusable surface plasmon resonance chips allowing the quantitative and selective detection of mercury(ii) ions in water at the 0.01 nM level are reported. The surface-modified gold sensor consists of a rarefied self-assembled monolayer of octanethiol topped with a Langmuir-Blodgett monolayer of an amphiphilic and highly-specific chelator. The interdigitated architecture confers to the bilayer a high packing density, surface coverage, and binding-group accessibility.
RESUMO
Two series of diphosphoryl-substituted porphyrins were synthesized and characterized by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry in nonaqueous media containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP). The investigated compounds are 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrins (Ph)2(P(O)(OEt)2)2PorM and 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-di(para-carbomethoxyphenyl)porphyrins (PhCOOMe)2(P(O)(OEt)2)2PorM where M = 2H, Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), or Pd(II). The free-base and five metalated porphyrins with nonredox active centers undergo two ring-centered oxidations and two ring-centered reductions, the latter of which is followed by a chemical reaction of the porphyrin dianion to give an anionic phlorin product. The phlorin anion is electroactive and can be reoxidized by two electrons to give back the starting porphyrin, or it can be reversibly reduced by one electron at more negative potentials to give a phlorin dianion. The chemical conversion of the porphyrin dianion to a phlorin anion proceeds at a rate that varies with the nature of the central metal ion and the solvent. This rate is slowest in the basic solvent pyridine as compared to CH2Cl2 and PhCN, giving further evidence for the involvement of protons in the chemical reaction leading to phlorin formation. Calculations of the electronic structure were performed on the Ni(II) porphyrin dianion, and the most favorable atoms for electrophilic attack were determined to be the two phosphorylated carbon atoms. Phlorin formation was not observed after the two-electron reduction of the cobalt porphyrins due to the different oxidation state assignment of the doubly reduced species, a Co(I) π anion radical in one case and an M(II) dianion for all of the other derivatives. Each redox reaction was monitored by thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry, and an overall mechanism for each electron transfer is proposed on the basis of these data.
RESUMO
Ru(II) complexes with polypyridyl ligands (2,2'-bipyridine = bpy, 1,10-phenanthroline = phen) play a central role in the development of photocatalytic organic reactions. In this work, we synthesized four mixed-ligand [Ru(phen)(bpy)2]2+-type complexes (Ru-Pcat-A) bearing two phosphonate substituents P(O)(OH)(OR) (R = H, Et) attached to the phen core at positions 3,8 (Ru-3,8PH and Ru-3,8PHEt) and 4,7 (Ru-4,7PH and Ru-4,7PHEt) of the heterocycle in high yields (87-99%) and characterized them using spectral methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the coordination mode of the ditopic phen ligand in Ru-4,7PH. This complex exists as the neutral species and forms a 1D hydrogen-bonded framework in the crystals. The light absorption characteristics were found to be similar for all complexes prepared in this work. However, the emission maxima in aqueous solutions were significantly affected by the substitution of the heterocycle, ranging from 629 nm for Ru-4,7PH to 661 nm for Ru-3,8PHEt. The emission quantum yields in Ar-saturated deionized water showed a strong dependence on the substitution pattern of the phen ligand, with maximal values reaching approximately 0.11 for Ru-4,7PHEt and Ru-4,7PH, which is twice as high as that of the classical [Ru(bpy)3]2+ complex (Ru-bpy). The photocatalytic performance of Ru-Pcat-A was investigated using visible light photoredox catalytic transformations of tertiary amines. With Ru-Pcat-A, we achieved the phosphonylation of N-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) and cyanation of THIQs and N,N-dimethylaniline in methanol, while a mixture of nitromethane/methanol (1 : 1 v/v) proved to be the optimal solvent for conducting the nitromethylation of THIQs. In the majority of the studied reactions, Ru-4,7PHEt exhibited greater efficiency compared to Ru-bpy, and it could be easily separated from the products using water extraction and reused in the next catalytic cycle. We successfully performed seven consecutive nitromethylation and phosphonylation of N-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline using the recycled homogeneous photoredox catalyst.
RESUMO
Recent advances in visible light photocatalysis represent a significant stride towards sustainable catalytic chemistry. However, its successful implementation in fine chemical production remains challenging and requires careful optimization of available photocatalysts. Our work aims to structurally modify bioinspired porphyrin catalysts, addressing issues related to their laborious synthesis and low solubility, with the goal of increasing their efficiency and developing reusable catalytic systems. We have demonstrated the catalytic potential of readily available meso-tetrakis[4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)phenyl]porphyrins (M(TPPP)). Novel metal (Pd(II), Co(II) and In(III)) complexes with this ligand were prepared in good yields. These chromophores were characterized in solution using spectroscopic (NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence) and electrochemical methods. The introduction of phosphonate groups on the phenyl substituents of meso-tetraphenylporphyrins (M(TPP)) improves solubility in polar organic solvents without significantly altering the photophysical properties and photostability of complexes. This structural modification also leads to easier reductions and harder oxidations of the macrocycle for all investigated complexes compared to the corresponding TPP derivatives. The free base porphyrin, zinc(II), palladium(II), and indium(III) complexes were studied as photocatalysts for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant. Both dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides were quantitatively transformed into sulfoxides under blue LED irradiation in the acetonitrile-water mixture (10 : 1 v/v) with a low loading (0.005-0.05 mol%) of porphyrin photocatalysts, where H2(TPPP) and Pd(TPPP) were found to be the most efficient. The reaction mechanism was studied using photoluminescence and EPR spectroscopies. Then, to access reusable catalysts, water-soluble derivatives bearing phosphonic acid groups, H2(TPPP-A) and Pd(TPPP-A), were prepared in high yields. These compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of Pd(TPPP-A) reveals that the complex forms a 3D hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) in the solid state. Both H2(TPPP-A) and Pd(TPPP-A) were found to catalyze the photooxidation of sulfides by molecular oxygen in the acetonitrile-water mixture (1 : 1 v/v), while only Pd(TPPP-A) resulted in selective production of sulfoxides. The complex Pd(TPPP-A) was easily recovered through extraction in the aqueous phase and successfully reused in five consecutive cycles of the sulfoxidation reaction.
RESUMO
Copper(II) 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin was obtained and characterized by means of cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and UV-visible spectroscopy. Three crystalline forms were grown and studied by means of X-ray diffraction methods (single crystal and powder). The highly electron-withdrawing effect of phosphoryl groups attached directly to the porphyrin macrocycle results in a self-assembling process, with formation of a stable 2D coordination network, which is unusual for copper(II) porphyrins. The resulting 2D structure is a rare example of an assembly based on copper(II) porphyrins where the copper(II) central metal ion is six-coordinated because of a weak interaction with two phosphoryl groups of adjacent porphyrins. The other polymorph of copper(II) 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin contains individual (isolated) porphyrin molecules with four-coordinated copper(II) in a distorted porphyrin core. This polymorph can be obtained only by slow diffusion of a copper acetate/methanol solution into solutions of free base 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin in chloroform. It converts to the 2D structure after dissolution in chloroform followed by consecutive crystallizations, using slow diffusion of hexane. A six-coordinated copper(II) porphyrin containing two axially coordinated dioxane molecules was also obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction crystallography. The association of copper(II) 5,15-bis(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,20-diphenylporphyrin in solution was also studied.

The first synthesis and self-organization of zinc ß-phosphorylporphyrins in the solid state and in solution are reported. ß-Dialkoxyphosphoryl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins and their Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized in good yields by using Pd- and Cu-mediated carbon-phosphorous bond-forming reactions. The Cu-mediated reaction allowed to prepare the mono-ß-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins 1 Zn-3 Zn starting from the ß-bromo-substituted zinc porphyrinate ZnTPPBr (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) and dialkyl phosphites HP(O)(OR)(2) (R = Et, iPr, nBu). The derivatives 1 Zn-3 Zn were obtained in good yields by using one to three equivalents of CuI. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium complexes in toluene, the desired zinc derivative 1 Zn was obtained in up to 72% yield. The use of a Pd-catalyzed C-P bond-forming reaction was further extended to the synthesis of ß-poly(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins. An unprecedented one-pot sequence involving consecutive reduction and phosphorylation of H(2)TPPBr(4) led to the formation of a mixture of the 2,12- and 2,13-bis(dialkoxy)phosphorylporphyrins 5 H(2) and 6 H(2) in 81% total yield. According to the X-ray diffraction studies, 1 Zn and 3 Zn are partially overlapped cofacial dimers formed through the coordination of two Zn centers by two phosphoryl groups belonging to the adjacent molecules. The equilibrium between the monomeric and the dimeric species exists in solutions of 1 Zn and 3 Zn in weakly polar solvents according to spectroscopic data (UV/Vis absorption and NMR spectroscopy). The ratio of each form is dependent on the concentration, temperature, and traces of water or methanol. These features demonstrated that zinc ß-phosphorylporphyrins can be regarded as new model compounds for the weakly coupled chlorophyll pair in the photosynthesis process.

Ru(II) complexes with polypyridyl ligands play a central role in the development of photocatalytic organic reactions. This work is aimed at the structural modification of such complexes to increase their photocatalytic efficiency and adapt them for the preparation of reusable photocatalytic systems. Nine [Ru(phen)(bpy)2]2+-type complexes (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (Ru-Pcat) bearing the P(O)(OEt)2 substituent attached to the phen core directly or through a 1,4-phenylene linker were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The coordination mode of phen ligands was confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The (spectro)electrochemical data show that the first electron transfer in Ru-Pcat takes place on the phen ligand. The emission maxima and quantum yields are strongly affected by the substitution pattern, reaching the far-red region (697 nm) for Ru-3,8P2. The singlet oxygen quantum yields of Ru-Pcat were evaluated using the chemical trapping method. Finally, the photocatalytic performance of Ru-Pcat in the oxidation of sulfides with molecular oxygen was investigated. Both dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides were quantitatively transformed into sulfoxides under irradiation with a blue LED in the acetonitrile-water mixture (10 : 1) using a low loading of 0.005-0.05 mol% Ru(II) photocatalysts. To rationalize the effect of phosphonate substituents on the photocatalytic efficiency, comparative kinetic studies of (1) 4-nitrothioanisole oxidation proceeding predominantly via the electron transfer pathway and (2) oxidation of dibutyl sulfide wherein singlet oxygen serves as an oxidant have been performed. It was demonstrated that complexes with the P(O)(OEt)2 substituent at positions 4 and 7 outperform the benchmark photocatalyst Ru-(bpy)3 and the parent complex Ru-phen in the reactions proceeding through electron transfer (reductive quenching photocatalytic cycle). The TON in the oxidation of 4-methoxythioanisole was found to be as high as 1 000 000 that is, to our knowledge, the highest among previously reported photocatalysts. In contrast, upon separating the P(O)(OEt)2 group and the phen core with the 1,4-phenylene linker, singlet oxygen quantum yields significantly increase that favors reactions proceeding through energy transfer (the oxidation of dibutyl sulfide in our case). Thus, both series of Ru(II) complexes prepared in this work are promising for the improvement of known photocatalytic reactions and the development of new transformations.
RESUMO
The self-assembly of seven zinc 10-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-diarylporphyrinates Zn5-Zn11 containing different substituents at the phosphonate and aryl groups was investigated. Single crystals of Zn5-Zn9 complexes were grown under the same conditions and analyzed by X-ray structural analysis. A supramolecular self-assembly is observed in all crystals through weak coordinative bonding of the phosphoryl group of one porphyrin molecule to the zinc(ii) ion of a second molecule. The geometry of the porphyrin macrocycle is similar in all of the studied crystals and the central zinc atom in each case adopts a distorted tetragonal pyramidal environment. However, the Zn5-Zn7 porphyrins display a 1D polymeric structure while the Zn8 and Zn9 complexes exist as discrete cyclotetramers in the crystals. This data demonstrates that the non-coordinating meso-aryl substituents of meso-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins influence their crystalline organization. A self-assembly of the Zn5-Zn11 complexes is also observed in toluene and chloroform solutions over a large temperature range (223-323 K). According to NMR studies, the associates exhibit dynamic behavior. A well-defined supramolecular aggregate of complex Zn10 at 10-3 M in toluene and chloroform solutions was unambiguously characterized as a cyclotetramer [Zn10]4 by 1H NMR spectroscopy at 223 K. The structure of the Zn10 association in toluene and chloroform shows a concentration dependence. When a solution of Zn10 in toluene was diluted from 10-3 M to 10-5 M, the average number of molecules in the associated unit decreased to about two.
RESUMO
A series of electron-deficient platinum(ii) and palladium(ii) meso-(diethoxyphosphoryl)porphyrins, namely [10-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-bis(p-tolyl)porphyrinato]palladium(ii) (PdDTolPP), {10-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-bis[p-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]porphyrinato}palladium(ii) [PdD(CMP)PP], [10-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5,15-dimesitylporphyrinato]palladium(ii) (PdDMesPP), [5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-10,15,20-trimesitylporphyrinato]palladium(ii) (PdTMesPP) and the corresponding platinum(ii) compounds, were synthesized and structurally characterized in solution by means of 1H, 13C, 31P NMR spectroscopies and in the solid state by single crystal X-ray diffraction [PdDTolPP, PdD(CMP)PP and PtD(CMP)PP]. Their optical and photophysical properties (UV-vis absorption, luminescence and excitation spectra, phosphorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) were also determined. The complexes under investigation emit at room temperature in the near-infrared region (670-770 nm). Phosphorescence quantum yields of the palladium(ii) meso-phosphorylated porphyrins lie in the range of 3.4 to 5.8%, with lifetimes of 633 to 858 µs in deoxygenated toluene solutions at room temperature. The corresponding platinum(ii) complexes exhibit phosphorescence quantum yields in the range of 9.2 to 11%, with luminescence decay times of 56 to 69 µs. Moreover, effective homogeneous oxygen quenching and good sensitivity in toluene (â¼155 Pa-1 s-1) were observed for the platinum(ii) complexes with phosphorylporphyrins in solution. Investigations of the photostability of porphyrinylposphonates and related complexes lacking a phosphoryl group in DMF under irradiation in air using a 400 W vis-NIR lamp demonstrated that photobleaching is strongly dependent on the substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle. Platinum and palladium trimesitylphosphorylporphyrins PdTMesPP and PtTMesPP exhibit high photostability in DMF solution and seem to be the most potentially interesting derivatives of the series for oxygen sensing in biological samples and the covalent immobilization on solid supports to prepare sensing devices including optic fibers.
RESUMO
Eight 1,10-phenanthrolines bearing one or two 2-(1-adamantyloxy)ethylamino substituents attached to different positions of the heterocyclic core were prepared according to SN Ar or palladium-catalyzed amination reactions. Their reaction with cis-Ru(bpy)2 Cl2 (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) was investigated and Ru(bpy)2 (L)(PF6 )2 (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) (L=amino-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline) complexes were obtained in good yields. The electronic structure and emissive properties of these complexes are strongly dependent on the position of the amino substituent in the heterocycle. Emission bands of the complexes bearing 2- and 4-substituted 1,10-phenanthroline ligands are red-shifted (up to 56â nm) and less intense compared to that of the parent [Ru(phen)(bpy)2 ](PF6 )2 . In contrast, the introduction of the substituent in 3- or 5-position of 1,10-phenanthroline ring induces only small decrease of luminescence and the brightness of the complex with the 3-substituted ligand is comparable to that of the parent complex.
RESUMO
A series of ditopic macrocyclic receptors with variable cavity sizes, containing nitrogen or mixed (nitrogen-oxygen) donor sites and an externally directed 1,10-phenanthroline fragment, were prepared by means of a palladium-catalyzed amination reaction. A ditopic mixed NO-ligand (4 a) was coordinated to [Ru(bpy)2 ]2+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) to prepare a luminescent and chromogenic complex, [Ru(bpy)2 (4 a)][PF]2 , which provided the selective dual-channel detection of CuII ions.
RESUMO
A new colorimetric molecular sensor allowing for cheap, fast, sensitive, and highly selective naked-eye detection of Hg(2+) in water is described. This molecule combines a 1,8-diaminoanthraquinone signaling subunit and phosphonic acid esters that confer the water solubility to the dye (R = H). A ready-to-use colorimetric solid sensor was obtained by incorporating an amphiphilic analog (R = OC(12)H(25)) exhibiting similar binding properties and optical responses in an agarose film.

A family of water-soluble colorimetric chemosensors incorporating an anthraquinone signalling subunit functionalized with a polyamine chain that bears hydrophilic diethoxyphosphoryl moieties was prepared with the aim of assaying metal cations. The outstanding UV-Vis absorption properties of the 1-aminoanthraquinone chromophore allowed the efficient visual detection and quantification of copper(II) ions by chelators L(1)-L(3) in buffered aqueous solution. Moreover, the visible response of L(2) is not interfered by addition of large excesses of 13 common metal ions, whereas chemosensor L(3) produces also a color change in the presence of equimolar amounts of lead(II). Considering the 134 nm gap between both absorption maxima, simultaneous colorimetric quantification of lead and copper can be envisaged. Detailed potentiometric and spectrophotometric analysis of Cu(2+) complexation by L(2) and L(3), as well as Pb(2+) and Cd(2+) by L(3) was undertaken in order to gain a deeper insight into the pH-dependent speciation and understanding the color changing process. Furthermore, the inner coordination sphere of the [PbL(3)](2+) complex was probed by NMR spectroscopy.
