Anticancer Drug Extraction from Plasma Samples Using Three-Dimensional Polyoxometalate-Based Supramolecular Frameworks as Sorbents

Four self-assembled inorganic-organic hybrid materials, namely, H{Na(H2O)3[Gd(PDA)(H2O)2]3[BW12O40]}·4H2O (1), H{Na(H2O)3[Tb(PDA)(H2O)2]3[BW12O40]}·3H2O (2), H{Na(H2O)3[Er(PDA)(H2O)3]3[BW12O40]}·H2O (3) (PDA = 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylate), and [Pr3(H2O)13(pydc-OH)2][BW12O40]·12H2O (4) (pydc-OH = 4-hydroxy-2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate), were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Hybrids 1-3 are isostructural and contain a Keggin unit, which is linked to lanthanoids to produce distinct trinuclear lanthanoid building blocks. The fragments are connected by anion-π and hydrogen bonding interactions to create 3D networks. In hybrid 4, a trimeric Pr-organic species bearing a Keggin unit forms a 2D coordination polymer, and then hydrogen bonding interactions between 2D layers lead to the formation of a 3D structure. These polyoxometalate-based frameworks were used as sorbents for the dispersive microsolid-phase extraction (D-μSPE) of two anticancer drugs (doxorubicin and epirubicin) in human plasma samples. Analytes were quantified and separated using high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). The method's linearity was between 0.8-500 ng mL-1 and 1.0-500 ng mL-1 for the antineoplastic drugs doxorubicin and epirubicin, respectively. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were in the range of 0.2-0.3 ng mL-1, while the precision was in the range of 3.5-4.3%. Finally, human plasma samples from patients treated with doxorubicin or epirubicin were analyzed by using the D-μSPE-HPLC-FLD method.

Synergistic Catalysis of Ionic Liquid-Decorated Covalent Organic Frameworks with Polyoxometalates for CO2 Cycloaddition Reaction under Mild Conditions

The cycloaddition of carbon dioxide (CO₂) with epoxides to yield highly value-added cyclic carbonates is an effective way to chemically utilize and convert CO₂. Here, a heterogeneous catalyst of imidazole ionic liquid-decorated covalent organic framework with polyoxometalates (POM@ImTD-COF) was constructed by the covalent modification of ionic liquids to COFs and the electrostatic interaction between POMs and ionic liquids. The obtained POM@ImTD-COF shows high catalytic activity for CO₂ cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions (1 atm and 80 °C) in the presence of a co-catalyst, and the catalytic activity of POM@ImTD-COF has no obvious decrease during reusing five times. The excellent catalytic performance is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of ionic liquids, POMs, and COFs. In the cycloaddition process, ionic liquids and the co-catalyst weaken the C-O bond of epoxides and promote the ring opening of epoxides. POMs as the Lewis acids facilitate the insertion of CO₂ to form reaction intermediates. The multiple activation effect of ionic liquids and POMs together with the CO₂ adsorption effect and well-dispersed active sites in COFs contribute to the remarkable catalytic performance.

On the preferences of five-membered chelate rings in coordination chemistry: insights from the Cambridge Structural Database and theoretical calculations

The purpose of this review is to give an overview of three important N-bidentate ligands: 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), and ethylenediamine (en). We have not attempted to be comprehensive because of the huge amount of activity being done in coordination chemistry using these ligands. Instead we present a full structural and geometrical study by using the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) combined with theoretical calculations that allow us to parameterize their coordinating properties and ability to coordinate to transition and non-transition metals. More importantly, we illustrate that upon coordination and formation of the five-membered chelate ring, these ligands are able to adapt themselves to the requirements of the different metals by changing the MN distances and NMN angles. Therefore, a redefinition of the preferences of these ligands to metals with large ionic radii is needed. Finally, we will present some facts about the participation of these ligands in inorganic-organic hybrids (IOHs) based on Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs).
