Abstract
The invention of efficient chemotherapeutic drugs is essential for human health and development. Keeping this in mind, a series of copper(II) pincer complexes, 1-4, of ligands L1(H) = 2-morpholino-N-(quinolin-8-yl)acetamide, L2(H) = 2-di-n-propylamino-N-(quinolin-8-yl)acetamide, L3(H) = 2-di-n-butylamino-N-(quinolin-8-yl)acetamide and L4(H) = 2-di-n-benzylamino-N-(quinolin-8-yl)acetamide have been synthesized, characterized, and utilized for inhibiting cancer proliferation. Complexes 1-4 showed very efficient activity against lung (A549) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cells, which are the most frequently diagnosed cancers according to the WHO. Among them, 1 was highly active against lung cancer cells with an IC50 value of 8 μM, showing no toxicity towards common L929 fibroblast cell lines (IC50 > 1000 μM). Moreover, AO-EB staining inferred that this cellular demise was attributed to apoptosis, which was determined to be 25.91% of cells by flow cytometry at the IC50 concentration. Furthermore, carboxy-H2DCFDA staining revealed the involvement of ROS in the mechanism. Interestingly, JC-1 dye staining revealed a change in the potential of the mitochondrial membrane, which indicates the enhanced production of ROS in mitochondria. A deep search for the mechanism through in silico studies guided us to the fact that complexes 1-4 might perturb the function of complex I in mitochondria. Furthermore, the studies can be expanded towards clinical applications mainly with morpholine appended complex 1.

Abstract
In the present era, the fixation of atmospheric CO2 is of significant importance and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of carbon and energy flow within ecosystems. Generally, CO2 fixation is carried out by autotrophic organisms; however, the scientific community has paid substantial attention to execute this process in laboratory. In this report, we synthesized two carbonato-bridged trinuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu3(L1)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (1) and [Cu3(L2)3(μ3-CO3)](ClO4)3 (2) via atmospheric fixation of CO2 starting with Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O and easily accessible pyridine/pyrazine-based N4 donor Schiff base ligands L1 and L2, respectively. Under very similar reaction conditions, the ligand framework embedded with the phenolate moiety (HL3) fails to do so because of the reduction of the Lewis acidity of the metal center, inhibiting the formation of a reactive hydroxide bound copper(II) species, which is required for the fixation of atmospheric CO2. X-ray crystal structures display that carbonate-oxygen atoms bridge three copper(II) centers in μ3syn-anti disposition in 1 and 2, whereas [Cu(HL3)(ClO4)] (3) is a mononuclear complex. Interestingly, we also isolated an important intermediate of atmospheric CO2 fixation and structurally characterized it as an anti-anti μ2 carbonato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L2)2(μ2-CO3)](ClO4)2·MeOH (2-I), providing an in-depth understanding of CO2 fixation in these systems. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement suggests ferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers in both 1 and 2, and the results have been further supported by DFT calculations. The catalytic efficiency of our synthesized complexes 1-3 was checked by means of catechol oxidase and phenoxazinone synthase-like activities. While complexes 1 and 2 showed oxidase-like activity for aerobic oxidation of o-aminophenol and 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol, complex 3 was found to be feebly active. ESI mass spectrometry revealed that the oxidation reaction proceeds through the formation of complex-substrate intermediations and was further substantiated by DFT calculations. Moreover, active catalysts 1 and 2 were effectively utilized for the base-free oxidation of benzylic alcohols in the presence of air as a green and sustainable oxidant and catalytic amount of TEMPO in acetonitrile. Various substituted benzylic alcohols smoothly converted to their corresponding aldehydes under very mild conditions and ambient temperature. The present catalytic protocol showcases its environmental sustainability by producing minimal waste.

Abstract
A series of novel amine triphenolate iron complexes were synthesized and characterized using UV, IR, elemental analysis, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. These complexes were applied to the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclohexene oxide (CHO), demonstrating excellent activity (TOF > 11050 h-1) in the absence of a co-catalyst. In addition, complex C1 maintained the dimer in the presence of the reaction substrate CHO, catalyzing the ring-opening polymerization of CHO to PCHO through bimetallic synergy. Furthermore, a two-component system consisting of iron complexes and TBAB displayed the ability to catalyze the reaction of CHO with CO2, resulting in the formation of cis-cyclic carbonate with high selectivity. Complex C4 exhibited the highest catalytic activity, achieving 80% conversion of CHO at a CHO/C4/TBAB molar ratio of 2000/1/8 and a CO2 pressure of 3 MPa for 16 h at 100 °C, while maintaining >99% selectivity of cis-cyclic carbonates, which demonstrated good conversion and selectivity.

Abstract
The fixation of atmospheric CO2 into value-added products is a promising methodology. A series of novel nickel(II) complexes of the type [Ni(L)(CH3 CN)2 ](BPh4 )2 1-5, where L=N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N', N'-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine (L1), N,N-dimethyl-N'-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) propane-1,3-diamine (L2), N,N-bis((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-ylmethyl)-N',N'-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine (L3), N-(2-(dimethylamino) benzyl)-N',N'-dimethyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl) propane-1,3-diamine (L4) and N,N-bis(2-(dimethylamino)benzyl)-N', N'-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine (L5) have been synthesized and characterized as the catalysts for the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into organic cyclic carbonates. The single-crystal X-ray structure of 2 was determined and exhibited distorted octahedral coordination geometry with cis-α configuration. The complexes have been used as a catalyst for converting CO2 and epoxides into five-membered cyclic carbonates under 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure at room temperature in the presence of Bu4 NBr. The catalyst containing electron-releasing -Me and -OMe groups afforded the maximum yield of cyclic carbonates, 34% (TON, 680) under 1 atm air. It was drastically enhanced to 89% (TON, 1780) under pure CO2 gas at 1 atm. It is the highest catalytic efficiency known for CO2 fixation using nickel-based catalysts at room temperature and 1 atm pressure. The electronic and steric factors of the ligands strongly influence the catalytic efficiency. Furthermore, all the catalysts can convert a wide range of epoxides (ten examples) into corresponding cyclic carbonate with excellent selectivity (>99%) under this mild condition.

Abstract
Syntheses are described for the blue/purple complexes of cobalt(II) chloride with the tetra-dentate ligands 1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine (Ppz), 1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]homopiperazine (Phpz), trans-2,5-dimethyl-1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine (Pdmpz) and tridentate 4-methyl-1-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]homopiperazine (Pmhpz). The CoCl2 complexes with Ppz, namely, {μ-1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine}bis-[di-chlorido-cobalt(II)], [Co2Cl4(C18H24N4)] or Co2(Ppz)Cl4, and Pdmpz (structure not reported as X-ray quality crystals were not obtained), are shown to be dinuclear, with the ligands bridging the two tetra-hedrally coordinated CoCl2 units. Co2(Ppz)Cl4 and {di-chlorido-{4-methyl-1-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]-1,4-di-aza-cyclo-hepta-ne}cobalt(II) [CoCl2(C13H21N3)] or Co(Pmhpz)Cl2, crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n, while crystals of the penta-coordinate mono-chloro chelate 1,4-bis-[2-(pyr-id-in-2-yl)eth-yl]piperazine}chlorido-cobalt(II) perchlorate, [CoCl(C18H24N4)]ClO4 or [Co(Ppz)Cl]ClO4, are also monoclinic (P21). The complex {1,4-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)eth-yl]-1,4-di-aza-cyclo-hepta-ne}di-chlorido-cobalt(II) [CoCl2(C19H26N4)] or Co(Phpz)Cl2 (P ) is mononuclear, with a penta-coordinated CoII ion, and entails a Phpz ligand acting in a tridentate fashion, with one of the pyridyl moieties dangling and non-coordinated; its displacement by Cl- is attributed to the solvophobicity of Cl- toward MeOH. The penta-coordinate Co atoms in Co(Phpz)Cl2, [Co(Ppz)Cl]+ and Co(Pmhpz)Cl2 have substantial trigonal-bipyramidal character in their stereochemistry. Visible- and near-infrared-region electronic spectra are used to differentiate the two types of coordination spheres. TDDFT calculations suggest that the visible/NIR region transitions contain contributions from MLCT and LMCT character, as well as their expected d-d nature. For Co(Pmhpz)Cl2 and Co(Phpz)Cl2, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data were obtained, and the observed decreases in moment with decreasing temperature were modelled with a zero-field-splitting approach, the D values being +28 and +39 cm-1, respectively, with the S = 1/2 state at lower energy.

Abstract
We report the syntheses of two rigid mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligands with a carbazole backbone via an intramolecular Finkelstein-cyclisation cascade and investigate their coordination behavior towards nickel(II) acetate. Despite the nickel(II) carbene complexes 4a,b showing only minor differences in their chemical composition, they display curious differences in their chemical properties, e.g. solubility. Furthermore, the potential of these novel MIC complexes in the coupling of carbon dioxide and epoxides as well as the differences in reactivity compared to classical NHC-derived complexes are evaluated.

Abstract
Octahedral complexes of the type [Ni(L)(H2O)3](ClO4)2 (1 and 2), where L is the tridentate 3N ligand 4-methyl-1-(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane (L1, 1), or 4-methyl-1-(N-methylimidazolyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane (L2, 2), have been isolated and characterized using elemental analysis, ESI-MS and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The DFT optimized structures of 1 and 2 reveal that the tridentate 3N ligands are coordinated meridionally constituting a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around nickel(ii). In methanol solution, the complexes, upon treatment with triethylamine, generate the reactive red colored low-spin square planar Ni-OH intermediate [Ni(L1/L2)(OH)]+ (1a and 2a), as characterized by ESI-MS and electronic absorption spectroscopy, and energy minimized structures. The latter when exposed to the atmosphere rapidly absorbs atmospheric CO2 to produce the carbonate bridged dinickel(ii) complexes [Ni2(L1/L2)2(μ-CO3)(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (3 and 4), as characterized by elemental analysis and the IR spectral feature (∼1608 cm-1) characteristic of bridging carbonate. The single crystal X-ray structure of 3 reveals the presence of a dinickel(ii) core bridged by a carbonate anion in a symmetric mode. Both the Ni(ii) centers are identical to each other with each Ni(ii) possessing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry constituted by a meridionally coordinated 3N ligand, a carbonate ion and a water molecule. The decay kinetics of the red intermediates generated by 1 (kobs, 7.7 ± 0.1 × 10-5 s-1) and 2 (kobs, 5.8 ± 0.3 × 10-4 s-1) in basic methanol solution with atmospheric CO2 has been determined by absorption spectroscopy. DFT studies illustrate that meridional coordination of the 3N ligand and the electron-releasing imidazole ring as in 2 facilitate fixation of CO2. The carbonate complex 3 efficiently catalyzes the conversion of styrene oxide into cyclic carbonate by absorbing atmospheric and pure CO2 with excellent selectivity.

Abstract
The development of molecular catalysts for the activation and conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into a value-added product is a great challenge. A series of nickel(ii) complexes, [Ni(L)(CH3CN)3](BPh4)2, 1-4 of diazepane based ligands, 4-methyl-1-[(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)]-1,4-diazepane (L1), 4-methyl-1-[2-(pyridine-2-yl)ethyl]-1,4-diazepane (L2), 4-methyl-1-[(quinoline-2-yl)-methyl]-1,4-diazepane (L3) and 1-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-pyridin-2-yl)methyl]-4-methyl-1,4-diazepane (L4), have been synthesized and characterized as catalysts for the activation of atmospheric CO2. The single-crystal X-ray structure of 1 shows a distorted octahedral geometry with a cis-β configuration around the NiN6 coordination sphere. All the complexes are used as catalysts for the conversion of atmospheric CO2 and epoxides into cyclic carbonates at 1 atmosphere (atm) pressure and in the presence of Et3N. Catalyst 4 was found to be the most efficient catalyst and showed a 31% formation of cyclic carbonates with a TON of 620 under 1 atm air as the CO2 source. This yield was enhanced to 94% with a TON of 1880 under 1 atm pure CO2 gas and it is the highest catalytic efficiency known for nickel(ii)-based catalysts. Catalyst 4 enabled the transformation of a wide range of epoxides (eight examples) into corresponding cyclic carbonates with excellent selectivity (>99%) and yields of 59-94% and 11-31% under pure CO2 and atmospheric CO2, respectively. The catalytic efficiency is strongly influenced by the electronic nature of the complexes. The CO2 fixation reactions without an epoxide substrate led to the formation of the carbonate bridged dinuclear nickel(ii) complexes [(LNiII)2CO3](BPh4)21a-4a, which are speculated as catalytically active intermediates. The formation of these species was accompanied by the formation of new absorption bands around 592-681 nm and was further confirmed by the ESI-MS and IR spectral studies. The molecular structures of these carbonate-bridged key intermediates were determined by X-ray analysis. The structures contain two Ni2+-centers bridged via a carbonate ion that originated from CO2. Distorted square pyramidal geometries are adopted around each Ni(ii) center. All these results support that CO2 fixation reactions occur via CO2-bound nickel key intermediates.

Abstract
The integrated capture and conversion of CO2 has the potential to make valorization of the greenhouse gas more economically competitive, by eliminating energy-intensive regeneration processes. However, integration is hindered by the extremely low concentrations of CO2 present in the atmosphere (0.04 vol.%), and the presence of acidic gas contaminants, such as SOx and NOx , in flue gas streams. This Review summarizes the latest technological progress in the integrated capture and conversion of CO2 from dilute flue gases and atmospheric air. In particular, the Review analyzes the correlation between material properties and their capture and conversion efficiency through hydrogenation, cycloaddition, and solar thermal-mediated electrochemical processes, with a focus on the types and quantities of product generated, in addition to their energy requirements. Prospects for commercialization are also highlighted and suggestions are made for future research.

J Inorg Biochem 2020; 216:111313. [PMID: 33277049 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2020.111313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2020] [Revised: 11/12/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
The copper(II) complexes [Cu(L)NO3] (1-9) of newer N3O ligands (L1-L9) have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of 1, 4, and 7 exhibited nearly a perfect square pyramidal geometry (τ, 0.04-0.11). The Cu-OPhenolate bonds (~ 1.91 Å) are shorter than the Cu-N bonds (~ 2.06 Å) due to the stronger coordination of anionic phenolate oxygen. The Cu(II)/Cu(I) redox potentials of 1-9 appeared around -0.102 to -0.428 V versus Ag/Ag+ in water. The electronic spectra of the complexes showed the d-d transitions around 643-735 nm and axial EPR parameter (g||, 2.243-2.270; A||, 164-179 × 10-4 cm-1) that corresponds to square pyramidal geometry. The bonding parameters α2, 0.760-0.825; β2, 0.761-0.994; γ2, 0.504-0.856 and K||, 0.698-0.954 and K⊥, 0.383-0.820 calculated from EPR spectra and energies of d-d transitions. The complexes catalyzed the conversion of substrate 2-aminophenol into 2-aminophenoxazine-3-one using molecular oxygen in the water and exhibited the yields of 41-61%. The formation of the product is accomplished by the appearance of a new absorption band at 430 nm and the rates of formation were calculated as 6.98-15.65 × 10-3 s-1 in water. The reaction follows Michaelis-Menten enzymatic reaction kinetics with turnover numbers (kcat) 9.11 × 105 h-1 for 1 and 4.66 × 105 h-1 for 9 in water. The spectral, redox and kinetic studies were performed in water to mimic the enzymatic oxidation reaction conditions.
