RESUMO
Homobimetallic macrocycles are prepared from flexible ligands in high yield by means of a new and general synthetic strategy called the "weak-link approach" [Eq. (a)]. Small aromatic molecules can be aligned inside the cage based on their interactions with the two Rh centers of the macrocycle.
RESUMO
Three diamino, dihetero-phenol ligands were synthesized by sequential Mannich condensations. These ligands were combined with FeCl3 to produce three five-coordinate Fe(III) complexes that are structural models for the enzyme 3,4-PCD. The three Fe(III) complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, UV-vis spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Combining the Fe(III) complexes with 3,5-di-t-butylcatechol and O2 resulted in oxidative cleavage similar to the function of 3,4-PCD.

Three Re(I) complexes (3, 5, and 7) (Re(CO)3Cl(L)2) and three new Pt(II) complexes (4, 6, and 8) ([Pt(P(Et)3)2(L)2](OTf)2), where L = pyridine, 1 (4-Py-EDOT) or 2 (4-Py-bithiophene), were prepared and characterized. The solid-state structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochromic polymeric films of 2, 5, and 6 were prepared and characterized.
RESUMO
The syn coordination of histidine residues at the active sites of several carboxylate-rich non-heme diiron enzymes has been difficult to reproduce with small molecule model compounds. In this study, ligands derived from 1,8-naphthyridine, phthalazine, and 1,2-diethynylbenzene were employed to mimic this geometric feature. The preassembled diiron(II) complex [Fe(2)(micro-O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(THF)(2)] (1), where Ar(Tol)CO(2)(-) is the sterically hindered carboxylate 2,6-di(p-tolyl)benzoate, served as a convenient starting material for the preparation of iron(II) complexes, all of which were crystallographically characterized. Use of the ligand 2,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine (Me(2)-napy) afforded the mononuclear complex [Fe(O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(Me(2)-napy)] (2), whereas dinuclear [Fe(2)(micro-DMP)(micro-O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(THF)] (3) resulted when 1,4-dimethylphthalazine (DMP) was employed. The dinuclear core of compound 3 is kinetically labile, as evidenced by the formation of [Fe(O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(vpy)(2)] (4) upon addition of 2-vinylpyridine (vpy). The diiron analogue of 4, [Fe(2)(micro-O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(O(2)CAr(Tol))(2)(vpy)(2)] (5), was prepared directly from 1. When the sterically more demanding ligand 2,6-di(4-tert-butylphenyl)benzoate (Ar(4-tBuPh)CO(2)(-)) was used, mononuclear [Fe(O(2)CAr(4)(-)(tBuPh))(2)(THF)(2)] (6) and [Fe(O(2)CAr(4)(-)(tBuPh))(2)(DMP)(2)] (7) formed. The difficulty in stabilizing a dinuclear core with these simple (N)(2)-donor ligands was circumvented by preparing a family of 1,2-diethynylbenzene-based ligands, from which were readily assembled the complexes [Fe(2)(Et(2)BCQEB(Et))(micro-O(2)CAr(Tol))(3)](OTf) (15) and [Cu(2)(Et(2)BCQEB(Et))(micro-I)(2)] (16), where Et(2)BCQEB(Et) is 1,2-bis(3-ethynyl-8-carboxylatequinoline)benzene ethyl ester. The Et(2)BCQEB(Et) framework provides both structural flexibility and the desired syn nitrogen donor geometry, thus serving as a good first-generation ligand in this class.

The ligand 1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene, 3, was used to synthesize a mononuclear Rh(II) complex [(eta(1):eta(6):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh][PF(6)](2), 6+, in a two-legged piano-stool geometry. The structural and electronic properties of this novel complex including a single-crystal EPR analysis are reported. The complex can be cleanly interconverted with its Rh(I) form, allowing for a comparison of the structural properties and reactivity of both oxidation states. The Rh(I) form 6 reacts with CO, tert-butyl isocyanide, and acetonitrile to form a series of 15-membered mononuclear cyclophanes [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CO)(3)][PF(6)] (8), [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CNC(CH(3))(3))(2)][PF(6)] (10), and [(eta(1):eta(1)-1,4-bis[4-(diphenylphosphino)butyl]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh(CO)(CH(3)CN)][PF(6)] (11). The Rh(II) complex 6+ reacts with the same small molecules, but over shorter periods of time, to form the same Rh(I) products. In addition, a model two-legged piano-stool complex [(eta(1):eta(6):eta(1)-1,4-bis[3-(diphenylphosphino)propoxy]-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene)Rh][B(C(6)F(5))(4)], 5, has been synthesized and characterized for comparison purposes. The solid-state structures of complexes 5, 6, 6+, and 11 are reported.
