Research paper thumbnail of Fluorination effects on the thermodynamic, thermophysical and surface properties of ionic liquids

Melting and decomposition temperatures were determined together with experimental densities, surface tensions, refractive indices, dynamic viscosities and ionic conductivities in a temperature interval ranging from (293.15 to 353.15) K. The surface properties of these fluorinated ionic liquids were discussed and several thermodynamic functions, as well as critical temperatures, were estimated. Coefficients of isobaric thermal expansion, molecular volumes and free volume effects were calculated from experimental values of density and refractive index and compared with previous data. Finally, Walden plots were used to evaluate the ionicity of the investigated ionic liquids.

In this set of ionic liquids, we intend to understand the effect of increasing the asymmetry of the ionic liquid cation/anion by growing the length of one of the alkyl chains attached to the nitrogen center/sulfonate center on the dissolution capacity of the ionic liquid. The addition of these new ionic liquids to water increased the dissolution capacity of the drugs up to four-times that in water, and improved the pharmacodynamic properties of these drugs, especially the case of sodium diclofenac. The intermolecular interactions between the drugs and ionic liquids were investigated by NMR. Two-dimensional 1H/1H nuclear overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) revealed an interaction between sodium diclofenac and the alaninate anion from the [C2Ch]2[SucAla]. In the case of paraceta...

Research paper thumbnail of Generation of Carbon Monoxide Releasing Molecules (CO-RMs) as Drug Candidates for the Treatment of Acute Liver Injury: Targeting of CO-RMs to the Liver

Organometallics, 2012

CO is a highly toxic gas when used at industrial doses, due in part to its binding affinity to hemoglobin. Since hemoglobin binds CO with the highest affinity in vivo, it also constitutes a major barrier to the delivery of CO to tissues in need of therapy. A method of delivering CO that can bypass hemoglobin is the use of pro-drugs or CO carriers, called CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) that become activated and release CO in tissues in need of treatment. Organometallic carbonyl complexes are best suited to play the role of CO carriers, and indeed the natural CO carrier molecules hemoglobin and myoglobin belong to this class of chemical compounds. Here we describe the preparation of novel molybdenum CORMs of general formula Mo(CO) 3 (CNCR′R″CO 2 R‴) 3 (R′, R″ = H, Me, i Pr, CH 2 Ph, CO 2 Li, −CH 2 CH 2 −, −CH 2 (CH 2) 3 CH 2 −; R‴ = H, Li), which present favorable druglike characteristics, have low toxicity, and demonstrate specific CO delivery to the liver in the treatment of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure in mice.

Research paper thumbnail of Epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene using diamine bis(phenolate) vanadium, molybdenum and tungsten complexes as catalysts

The solid-state structures of both compounds obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction reveal distorted octahedral geometries around the metals with cis terminal oxo ligands. Their performance in the catalytic epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene using H 2 O 2 and TBHP as oxidants was evaluated. 2-W displays high activity with H 2 O 2 as terminal oxidant, achieving 84% conversion in 6 h (TOF = 1400 mol sub mol cat À1 h À1), while its molybdenum counterpart 1-Mo was inactive in the same conditions. Using TBHP as oxidant the opposite trend was observed and 1-Mo attained 93% conversion in 6 h (TOF = 1550 mol sub mol cat À1 h À1). The Oxovanadium complexes [VOL 1 Cl] (3-V), [VOL 2 Cl] (4-V, L 2 = Me 2 NCH 2 CH(CH 3)N(CH 2-2-O-3,5-C 6 H 2 t Bu 2) 2) and [(VOL 1) 2 (l-O)] (5-V) were also tested as catalysts in the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene. The three compounds display high activity when the epoxidation reaction is performed using TBHP as oxidant. Using H 2 O 2 , 3-V and 4-V are moderately active while 5-V is inactive.

Similar tungsten derivatives WO 2 (S-BINOL)(THF) and WO 2 [OCMe(CF 3) 2 ] 2 (THF) have been prepared by the reaction of WO 2 Cl 2 (DME) with the corresponding lithium salts of BINOL and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-methyl-2-propanol, respectively. Catalytic experiments have shown that MoO 2 (S-BINOL)(THF) 2 is an active catalyst in the sulfoxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide and in the epoxidation of ciscyclooctene with tert-butylhydroperoxide, under mild conditions. The BINOL complex was, however, not found to be enantioselective. In addition, the catalytic activity of the molybdenum species MoO 2 (S-BINOL)(THF) 2 and MoO 2 [OCMe(CF 3) 2 ] 2 (THF) in the hydrosilylation of carbonyl groups has been explored.

While complexes of the uranyl ion [UO2] 2+ have been poorly considered in catalysis, we show the potentialities of the Lewis acid [UO2(OTf)2] (1) in the catalytic hydrosilylation of a series of aldehydes. [UO2(OTf)2] proved a very active catalyst affording distinct reduction products depending on the nature of the reductant. With Et3SiH, a number of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes are reduced into symmetric ethers, while i Pr3SiH yielded silylated alcohols. Studies of the reaction mechanism led to the isolation of aldehyde/uranyl complexes, [UO2(OTf)2(4-Me2N-PhCHO)3], [UO2(- 2-OTf)2(PhCHO)]n and [UO2(- 2-OTf)(OTf)2(PhCHO)2]2 which have been fully characterized by NMR, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Its coordination to molybdenum and tungsten afforded optically pure (R)‐CpoxM(η3‐C3H5)(CO)2 (M = Mo, W) in which the pendant oxazoline fragment is not coordinated to the metal center. Reaction of (R)‐CpoxMo(η3‐C3H5)(CO)2 with tetrafluoroboric acid gives the bidentate η5‐cyclopentadienyloxazoline complex [CpoxMo(CO)2(NCMe)]BF4 in which the oxazoline is coordinated through the N‐atom to the molybdenum center. Their catalytic performance in the epoxidation of cis‐cyclooctene, (R)‐limonene, and trans‐β‐methylstyrene with H2O2 and tert‐butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidants has been studied. (R)‐CpoxW(η3‐C3H5)(CO)2 displayed high catalytic activity achieving quantitative conversion of cyclooctene epoxide in 2 h with H2O2. [CpoxMo(CO)2(NCMe)]+ has been shown to be an efficient catalyst with TBHP and H2O2, reaching quantitative conversions of the corresponding epoxide in 30 min and 11 h, resp...

Treatment of MoO 2 Cl 2 (THF) 2 with one equivalent of the N-heterocyclic carbenes L Me , L i-Pr and C1 L n-Bu (L Me = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene, L i-Pr = 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene, and C1 L n-Bu = 1,3-dibutyl-4,5-dichloroimidazol-2-ylidene) affords the monocarbene adducts MoO 2 Cl 2 (L R) [R = Me (3), i-Pr (4)] and MoO 2 Cl 2 (C1 L n-Bu) (5), respectively. Decomposition of complexes 1-5 affords a molybdenum oxychloride anion [Mo 2 O 5 Cl 4 ] 2À as an imidazolium salt.

ILs sharing the same anion (bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [TFSI]−), and different cations belonging to the families of pyridinium, imidazolium, and ammonium ions, comprising an alkyl side chains with variable length, were used. The physical–chemical properties, thermal behavior, mechanical, electrical, and bending responses of the PVDF/IL composites were evaluated. The incorporation of ILs into the PVDF matrix leads to an increase of the electroactive β phase content. Moreover, the β phase content increases with the increase of the IL alkyl chain length. The degree of crystallinity depends on the IL chain length as well as on the mechanical properties, revealing the plasticizing behavior exerted by the IL. The electrical conductivity decreased with the increase of the cation alkyl chain size. The highest bending response was observed for the [Pmim][TFSI]/PVDF and [Pmpip][TFSI] composites (w...
