Novel Substitution Reactions of 5-（4-Nitrophenyl）-10,15,20-TriphenylPorphyrin with Nucleophilic Reagents

Substitution reactions of 5-（4-nitrophenyl）-10, 15,20-triphenylporphyrin （NO2 TPP） and its metal complexes with different nucleophilic reagents were studied for preparing asymmetric porphyrin. The reaction products are different with the nucleophilic reagents changing, and three different products were found. The first obtaining product was diporphyrin when NO2 TPP reacted with sodium phenoxide or diphenoxide in DMF solution; The second was reduced product 5-（4-aminophenyl）-10, 15, 20-triphenylporphrin-M （Ⅱ） when the metal （Ni,Zn） complex of NO2 TPP reacted with above nucleophilic reagents, as well as NO2 TPP reacted with lithium mercaptoethanolate or lithium thiophenolate; The third product CNTPP was achieved with the substitution of nitro group by cyanic anion when NO2 TPP reacted with radium cyanide. Above results were explained with reduction and single electron transfer reaction respectively.     

Study on laccase-catalyzed oxidation of disubstituted ferrocene and π-arene-π-cyclopentadienyliron derivatives

It is studied that Rhus vernicifera laccase catalyzed oxidation of 26 disubstituted ferrocene and its metal complexes, π-arene-π-cyclopentadienyliron derivatives and metal meso-(tetra-4-sulfanatophenyl)porphyrin in the diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DGBE)/phosphate buffer (V/V, 1/5). It is found that 1,1′-bishydroxylmethyl ferrocene etc 16 compounds are new substrates of laccase. The relation of structure and function of substrates is discussed. The affective factors of laccase-catalyzed oxidation of 1,1′-bishydroxyl-methyl ferrocene—pH, temperature, substrate concentration, laccase quantity and surfactant were investigated further.

The influence of nitrate salts and complex metal ion to regio-selective synthesis of 2-nitro-5, 10, 15, 20-tetra-(4-Methoxyphenyl) prophyrinato metal

A series of 2-nitro-5, 10, 15, 20-tetra (4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrinato metals were regioselectively synthesized with nitrate salts as nitrating reagent in acetic acid/acetic anhydride for preparation of 2-substituted porphyrin. The influence of nitrate salts and complex metal ion to the reaction were investigated. The extent of 2-nitration increased with the electronegativity of the central metal. When Cu(NO₃)₂×3H₂O was used as nitrating reagent, almost quantitative yields of 2-nitro porphyrin were obtained in the case of Cu (II) or Ni (II) chelates, while Zn(II) or Mn(II) chelates gave 50% and 30% yields respectively. If Zn(NO₃)₂×10H₂O was used as nitrating agent, no product was found for Cu(II) or Ni(II) chelates, 12% was found for Zn(II) chelates. The other metal ion and nitrate salts were also found in quite different influence.

Modified DTPA,EDTA ligands and their paramagnetic metal complexes as contrast agents for MRI

Six new aminocarboxylic ligands were synthesized by reactions of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) dianhydride or DTPA (diethylenetriaminepenta—acetic acid) dianhydride and ethyl ester of serine, threonine and tyrosine. Their paramagnetic metal complexes were also synthesized. All ligands and paramagnetic metal complexes were characterized by IR spectra,¹H NMR and elemental analyses. Relaxivity study showed that the metal complexes had higher relaxation effectiveness as compared to corresponding unmodified metal complexes. Imaging study of gadolinium complex of tyrosine ethyl ester modified DTPA in mice demonstrated that this metal complex could apparently increase the signal intensity of MR images.

Ligand-metal interaction in transition-metal complexes with tripodal polyaza ligands

Five complexes ([Cu(tpc)]²⁺ 1, [Cu(tpa)]²⁺ 2, [Co(tpa)]²⁺ 3, [Fe(tpa)]²⁺ 4 and [Mn(tpa)]²⁺ 5) (tpc=N, N’, N"-tris[(2-pyridyl)methyl]-1,4,7-triaza-cyclononane(L1) and tpa=tris[2-((2-pyridyl) methyl-imino)ethyl]amine(l2)) were synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of 1, 3 and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical investigations over two cupric complexes reveal that 2 has a less negative redox potential than that of 1. Electronic spectra of 2, 3, 4 and 5 show that the distinction in metal ion results in a shift of the ligand-based π*→π transition.

The synthesis of a fluorescent chemosensor containing two thiourea groups and its recognition behavior for dicarboxylate anions

A novel anion receptor 2 bearing anthracene flurophore and thiourea was synthesized and identified by ^1H NMR,MS,IR and elemental analysis. The interaction between receptor 2 and various α,ω-dicarboxylate anions was studied by fluorescence spectrum. The obtained fluorescence data indicate that 1：1 stoichiometry complex is formed between receptor 2 with diferent dicarboxylate anions through a hydrogen-bonging interaction. The selectivity of 2 for recognition of different dicarboxylates deponds on chain length of the anionic species.     

Synthesis and spectroscopy of nitridoruthenium (VI) and osmium (VI) porphyrins

Reaction of Ru (4-Cl-TPP) (CO) (MeOH) [4-Cl-TPP = meso-kis (4-chlorophenyl) porphyrinato dianion] with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) followed by treatment of the mixture with an aqueous ammonia solution afforded the first nitrido ruthenium porphyrin Ru(4-Cl-TPP) (N) (OH). Three new nitrido osmium (VI) porphyrins, Os (Por) (N) (OH) (Por=TPP, TTP, and 4-Cl-TPP), were synthesized from oxidation of Os(Por)(NH₃)₂ withm-CPBA. All these new complexes were characterized by¹H NMR, IR, UV/Visible spectra and elemental analyses. Both nitrido ruthenium (VI) and osmium (VI) porphyrins are diamagnetic. Their pyrrole proton resonances appear at slightly lower fields than those of the corresponding dioxo Ru(VI) and Os(VI) porphyrins. The {ie89-1}, or {ie89-2}, region is obscured by the strong “oxidation state marker” band. Li Zaoying: born in July 1949, associate professor.
