The Copper Reduction Potential Determines the Reductive Cytotoxicity: Relevance to the Design of Metal-Organic Antitumor Drugs. Molecules 2024; 29:1032.

Abstract
Copper-organic compounds have gained momentum as potent antitumor drug candidates largely due to their ability to generate an oxidative burst upon the transition of Cu2+ to Cu1+ triggered by the exogenous-reducing agents. We have reported the differential potencies of a series of Cu(II)-organic complexes that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death after incubation with N-acetylcysteine (NAC). To get insight into the structural prerequisites for optimization of the organic ligands, we herein investigated the electrochemical properties and the cytotoxicity of Cu(II) complexes with pyridylmethylenethiohydantoins, pyridylbenzothiazole, pyridylbenzimidazole, thiosemicarbazones and porphyrins. We demonstrate that the ability of the complexes to kill cells in combination with NAC is determined by the potential of the Cu+2 → Cu+1 redox transition rather than by the spatial structure of the organic ligand. For cell sensitization to the copper-organic complex, the electrochemical potential of the metal reduction should be lower than the oxidation potential of the reducing agent. Generally, the structural optimization of copper-organic complexes for combinations with the reducing agents should include uncharged organic ligands that carry hard electronegative inorganic moieties.

Abstract
With increasing interest in nickel-based electrocatalysts, three heteroleptic Ni(II) dithiolate complexes with the general formula [Ni(II)L(L')2] (1-3), L = 2-(methylene-1,1'-dithiolato)-5,5'-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and L' = triphenylphosphine (1), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (DPPF) (2), and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) (3), have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis, IR, 1H, and 31P{1H} NMR) as well as the electrochemical method. The molecular structure of complex 2 has also been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of complex 2 reveals a distorted square planar geometry around the nickel metal ion with a NiP2S2 core. The cyclic voltammograms reveal a small difference in the redox properties of complexes (ΔE° = 130 mV) while the difference in the catalytic half-wave potential becomes substantial (ΔEcat/2 = 670 mV) in the presence of 15 mM CF3COOH. The common S^S-dithiolate ligand provides stability, while the rigidity effect of other ligands (DPPE (3) > DPPF (2) > PPh3 (1)) regulates the formation of the transition state, resulting in the NiIII-H intermediate in the order of 1 > 2 > 3. The foot-of-the-wave analysis supports the widely accepted ECEC mechanism for Ni-based complexes with the first protonation step as a rate-determining step. The electrocatalytic proton reduction activity follows in the order of complex 1 > 2 > 3. The comparatively lower overpotential and higher turnover frequency of complex 1 are attributed to the flexibility of the PPh3 ligand, which favours the easy formation of a transition state.

Abstract
In recent years, researchers have shifted their focus towards investigating the redox properties of ancillary ligand backbones for small-molecule activation. Several metal complexes have been reported for the electrocatalytic H2 evolution reaction (HER), providing valuable mechanistic insights. This process involves efficient coupling of electrons and protons. Redox-active ligands stipulate internal electron transfer and promote effective orbital overlap between metal and ligand, thereby, enabling efficient proton-coupled electron transfer reactions. Understanding such catalytic mechanisms requires thorough spectroscopic and computational analyses. Herein, we summarize recent examples of molecular electrocatalysts based on 3d transition metals that have significantly influenced mechanistic pathways, thus, emphasizing the multifaceted role of metal-ligand cooperativity.

Abstract
Incorporating design elements from homogeneous catalysts to construct well defined active sites on electrode surfaces is a promising approach for developing next generation electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions. Furthermore, if functionalities that control the electrode microenvironment could be integrated into these active sites it would be particularly appealing. In this context, a square planar nickel calixpyrrole complex, Ni(DPMDA) (DPMDA=2,2'-((diphenylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrrole-5,2-diyl))bis(methaneylylidene))bis(azaneylylidene))dianiline) with pendant amine groups is reported that forms a heterogeneous hydrogen evolution catalyst using anilinium tetrafluoroborate as the proton source. The supported Ni(DPMDA) catalyst was surprisingly stable and displayed fast reaction kinetics with turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 25,900 s-1 or 366,000 s-1 cm-2 . Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies revealed a KIE of 5.7, and this data, combined with Tafel slope analysis, suggested that a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process involving the pendant amine groups was rate-limiting. While evidence of an outer-sphere reduction of the Ni(DPMDA) catalyst was observed, it is hypothesized that the control over the secondary coordination sphere provided by the pendant amines facilitated such high TOFs and enabled the PCET mechanism. The results reported herein provide insight into heterogeneous catalyst design and approaches for controlling the secondary coordination sphere on electrode surfaces.

Abstract
Thiocarbohydrazone-based catalysts feature ligands that are potentially electrochemically active. From the synthesis point of view, these ligands can be easily tailored, opening multiple strategies for optimization, such as using different substituent groups or metal substitution. In this work, we show the possibility of a new strategy, involving the nuclearity of the system, meaning the number of metal centers. We report the synthesis and characterization of a trinuclear nickel-thiocarbohydrazone complex displaying an improved turnover rate compared with its mononuclear counterpart. We use DFT calculations to show that the mechanism involved is metal-centered, unlike the metal-assisted ligand-centered mechanism found in the mononuclear complex. Finally, we show that two possible mechanisms can be assigned to this catalyst, both involving an initial double reduction of the system.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis (AP) has been proved to be a promising way of alleviating global climate change and energy crisis. Among various materials for AP, molecular complexes play an important role due to their favorable efficiency, stability, and activity. As a result of its importance, the topic has been extensively reviewed, however, most of them paid attention to the designs and preparations of complexes and their water splitting mechanisms. In fact, ligands design and preparation also play an important role in metal complexes’ properties and catalysis performance. In this review, we focus on the ligands that are suitable for designing mononuclear catalysts for water splitting, providing a coherent discussion at the strategic level because of the availability of various activity studies for the selected complexes. Two main designing strategies for ligands in molecular catalysts, substituents modification and backbone construction, are discussed in detail in terms of their potentials for water splitting catalysts.

Abstract
In this study, we report a pair of electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) based on the noninnocent ligand diacetyl-2-(4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone)-3-(2-pyridinehydrazone) (H2DMTH, H2L1). The neutral complexes NiL1 and PdL1 were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical methods. The complexes contain a non-coordinating, basic hydrazino nitrogen that is protonated during the HER. The pKa of this nitrogen was determined by spectrophotometric titration in acetonitrile to be 12.71 for NiL1 and 13.03 for PdL1. Cyclic voltammograms of both NiL1 and PdL1 in acetonitrile exhibit diffusion-controlled, reversible ligand-centered events at -1.83 and -1.79 V (vs ferrocenium/ferrocene) for NiL1 and PdL1, respectively. A quasi-reversible, ligand-centered event is observed at -2.43 and -2.34 V for NiL1 and PdL1, respectively. The HER activity in acetonitrile was evaluated using a series of neutral and cationic acids for each catalyst. Kinetic isotope effect (KIE) studies suggest that the precatalytic event observed is associated with a proton-coupled electron transfer step. The highest turnover frequency values observed were 6150 s-1 at an overpotential of 0.74 V for NiL1 and 8280 s-1 at an overpotential of 0.44 V for PdL1. Density functional theory (DFT) computations suggest both complexes follow a ligand-centered HER mechanism where the metals remain in the +2 oxidation state.

Abstract
The quest to develop and optimize catalysts for H 2 production requires a thorough understanding in the possible catalytic mechanisms involved. Transition metals are very often the centers of reactivity in the catalysis, although this can change in the presence of a redox-active ligand. Investigating the differences in catalysis when considering ligand- and metal-centered reactivity is important to find the most optimal mechanisms for hydrogen evolution reaction. Here, we investigated this change of reactivity in two versions of a thiosemicarbazone-based complex, using Co and Ni metal centers. While the Ni version has a ligand-centered reactivity, Co switches it toward a metal-centered one. Comparison between the mechanisms show differences in rate-limiting steps, and shows the importance of identifying those steps in order to optimize the system for hydrogen production.

Abstract
Thiosemicarbazone-based complexes have been explored as a new class of redox-active catalysts H2 production due to their flexibility for extensive optimization. To rationalize the process, we need to understand how these complexes function. In this work, we used DFT calculations to investigate the various mechanisms that could take place for three previously characterized Ni complexes. We found that two possible mechanisms are compatible with previously published experimental data, involving protonation of two adjacent N atoms close to the metal center. The first step likely involves a proton-coupled electron transfer process from a proton source to one of the distal N atoms in the ligand. From here, a second proton can be transferred either to the coordinating N atom situated in between the first protonated atom and the Ni atom, or to the second distal N atom. The former case then has the protons in close distance for H2 production. However, the latter will require a third protonation event to occur, which would fall in one of the N atoms adjacent to the Ni center, resulting in a similar mechanism. Finally, we show that the H-H bond formation is the rate-limiting step, and suggest additional strategies that can be taken into account to further optimize these complexes.
