Efficient ternary WORM memory devices from quinoline-based D-A systems by varying the redox behavior of ferrocene. RSC Adv 2023; 13:28416-28425. [PMID: 37766933 PMCID: PMC10521766 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05685f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The design and synthesis of ferrocene-functionalized organic small molecules using quinoline cores are rendered to achieve a ternary write-once-read-many (WORM) memory device. Introducing an electron-withdrawing group into the ferrocene system changes the compounds' photophysical, electrochemical, and memory behavior. The compounds were synthesized with and without an acetylene bridge between the ferrocene unit and quinoline. The electrochemical studies proved the oxidation behavior with a slightly less intense reduction peak of the ferrocene unit, demonstrating that quinolines have more reducing properties than ferrocene with bandgaps ranging from 2.67-2.75 eV. The single crystal analysis of the compounds also revealed good interactive interactions, ensuring good molecular packing. This further leads to a ternary WORM memory with oxidation of the ferrocene units and charge transfer in the compounds. The devices exhibit on/off ratios of 104 and very low threshold voltages of -0.58/-1.02 V with stabilities of 103 s and 100 cycles of all the states through retention and endurance tests.

Enhancing the Resistive Switching Behavior of WORM Memory Devices Using D-π-A Based Ester-Flanked Quinolines. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202202569. [PMID: 36394987 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202202569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Donor-Acceptor systems are highly appreciated in the field of organic memory devices due to their efficient charge transport within the systems. In this work, we have designed and synthesized a D-π-A system constituting ester-flanked quinolines and functionalized triarylamines (TAA) through a single-step cross-coupling reaction to fabricate memory devices via Write-Once Read-Many times (WORM) non-volatile memory. Structure-property relationships are reconnoitered for these conjugated D-π-A systems through a series of UV, fluorescence, XRD, DFT, and memory characterizations. The UV and CV data show efficient charge transfer with intramolecular charge transfer occurring at 407-417 nm and a short band gap of 2.56-2.65 eV. An enhancement in the resistive switching behavior of the memory devices is observed for the compounds with simple TAA-quinoline and tert-butylphenyl substituted TAA and fluorophenyl substituted quinoline due to balanced charge distribution in the compounds. This enhanced switching induces an on/off ratio of 103 by generating a highly ordered arrangement in the thin films. The HOMO, LUMO levels, and the ESP images together estimate a charge transfer and charge trapping as the plausible mechanism for the solution-processable WORM memory devices. The longer retention time (103 s) and lower threshold voltages (-1.21--2.12 V) of the devices makes them intriguing compounds for memory applications.

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of aryl and ethynyl linkers as well the effect of various pi-end-groups on the performance of the quinoline-based organic field-effect transistors. A series of new functionalized quinolines with D-π-A-π-D and A-π-A-π-A architectures are designed and synthesized via the Sonagashira cross-coupling reaction. All the new compounds are well characterized and their photophysical properties are studied. The bottom gate-top contact-organic field-effect transistors devices are fabricated using the spin-coating technique. By employing the pre and post-annealing technique, films with uniform surface coverage are obtained. The variation in the end-groups results in versatile packing arrangements which determine their good charge transport properties. The p-channel transistor behavior is observed for all the new compounds. Among the molecules studied, methoxyphenyl and thiophen-2-yl terminal functionalized with D-π-A-π-D architecture exhibit the higher p-channel transistor characteristics with hole mobilities of 1.39 and 1.33 cm2 V-1 s-1 , respectively. The good charge carrier mobilities are supported by an electron-donating methoxy group and thiophene as the end-groups with high highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) levels, extensive π-conjugation, and better self-assembly.

Tunable Anticancer Activity of Furoylthiourea-Based Ru II -Arene Complexes and Their Mechanism of Action. Chemistry 2021; 27:7418-7433.

Abstract
Fourteen new RuII -arene (p-cymene/benzene) complexes (C1-C14) have been synthesized by varying the N-terminal substituent in the furoylthiourea ligand and satisfactorily characterized by using analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Electrostatic potential maps predicted that the electronic effect of the substituents was mostly localized, with some influence seen on the labile chloride ligands. The structure-activity relationships of the Ru-p-cymene and Ru-benzene complexes showed opposite trends. All the complexes were found to be highly toxic towards IMR-32 cancer cells, with C5 (Ru-p-cymene complex containing C6 H2 (CH3 )3 as N-terminal substituent) and C13 (Ru-benzene complex containing C6 H4 (CF3 ) as N-terminal substituent) showing the highest activity among each set of complexes, and hence they were chosen for further study. These complexes showed different behavior in aqueous solutions, and were also found to catalytically oxidize glutathione. They also promoted cell death by apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, the complexes showed good binding ability with the receptors Pim-1 kinase and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, commonly overexpressed in cancer cells.

Abstract
Three new 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde-thiosemicarbazones-N-4-substituted pro-ligands and their Cu(II) complexes (1, -NH2; 2, -NHMe; 3, -NHEt) have been prepared and characterized. In both the X-ray structures of 1 and 3, two crystallographically independent complex molecules were found that differ either in the nature of weakly metal-binding species (water in 1a and nitrate in 1b) or in the co-ligand (water in 3a and methanol in 3b). Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurements carried out on complexes 1 and 3 confirmed the presence of such different species in the solution. The electrochemical behavior of the pro-ligands and of the complexes was investigated, as well as their biological activity. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibited a high cytotoxicity against human tumor cells and 3D spheroids derived from solid tumors, related to the high cellular uptake. Complexes 2 and 3 also showed a high selectivity towards cancerous cell lines with respect to non-cancerous cell lines and were able to circumvent cisplatin resistance. Via the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging technique, preliminary insights into the biological activity of copper complexes were obtained.

Unprecedented formation of palladium(II)-pyrazole based thiourea from chromone thiosemicarbazone and [PdCl 2(PPh 3) 2]: Interaction with biomolecules and apoptosis through mitochondrial signaling pathway.

Abstract
Two novel pyrazole based thiourea palladium(II) complexes, [PdCl(PPh3)(C9H8NO2S-pz)] (1) and [PdCl(PPh3)(C14H10NO2S-pz)] (2) [pz = pyrazole (C3H2N2)] have been obtained unexpectedly from chromone thiosemicarbazones (L1 and L2) and [PdCl2(PPh3)2]. The compounds have been fully characterized by physicochemical studies. The single crystal X-ray diffraction and spectral studies revealed square planar geometry for the complexes. The conversion of chromone thiosemicarbazone into pyrazole based thiourea might have happened through coordination to palladium(II) ion after enolization, Michael addition and ring opening followed by cyclization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for the conversion of chromone thiosemicarbazone into pyrazole based thiourea moiety. Plausible mechanism was proposed based on the spectroscopic studies. Calf thymus (CT) DNA binding of the compounds was explored using various spectroscopic and molecular docking methods. DNA cleavage studies suggested that complexes 1 and 2 had the capacity to cleave the supercoiled DNA (pUC19) to its naked form. In vitro cytotoxic property of the ligands and complexes has been evaluated against three human cancer cells such as A549, HepG-2 and U937. Complex 2 exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against HepG-2 cells with the IC50 value of 10.4 μM. In addition, mechanistic studies showed that complex 2 induced apoptosis through mitochondrial signaling pathway in HepG-2 cells. Beneficially, complex 2 showed less toxicity against human lung (IMR90) normal cells and hence it emerges as a potential candidate for further studies.

Abstract
Organoruthenium complexes are potent alternatives for platinum-based complexes because of their superior anticancer activity. In this investigation, a series of new Ru(II)-arene complexes with triarylamine-thiosemicarbazone hybrid ligands with higher anticancer activity than cisplatin are reported. The molecular structure of the ligands and complexes was confirmed spectroscopically and supported by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. These complexes adopted a three-leg piano stool geometry. All the Ru(II)-arene complexes were systematically investigated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against human cervical (HeLa S3), lung (A549) cancer, and human normal lung (IMR-90) cell lines using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Interestingly, a pyrrolidine-attached Ru(II)-benzene complex exhibited superior activity against cancer cells with low IC50 values, and colony formation study showed complete inhibition at 5 and 10 μM concentration. Furthermore, morphological changes assessed by acridine orange and propidium iodide staining revealed that the cell death occurred by apoptosis. In addition, the interaction between synthesized Ru(II)-arene complexes and DNA/protein was explored by absorption and emission spectroscopy methods. These synthesized new organoruthenium complexes can be used for developing new metal-based anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Three novel complexes (1, 3 and 4) ligating N-substituted isatin thiosemicarbazone derivatives have been synthesized and their structural and biological characteristics have been compared with those of the known analogs (2, 5-7 and 8). In addition, the structure of the representative ligands (L1, L3 and L4) and complex (4) was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. All the complexes (1-8) were assessed for their cytotoxic property against a panel of four human cancer cells such as HepG-2 (liver), MOLM-14 (acute monocytic leukemia), U937 (histiocytic lymphoma). and IM-9 (myeloma). Complex 4 exhibited prominent cytotoxic property against MOLM-14, U937 and IM-9 cell lines. Moreover, the results were compared with the well-known anticancer drugs like doxorubicin, cisplatin and daunorubicin. Besides, complex 4 enhanced the apoptotic cell death in IM-9 cell line and induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Western blot analysis revealed the down-regulation of Bcl-2 (b-cell lymphoma-2), up-regulation of Bax (bcl-2 associated X protein), release of cytochrome c and activation of caspases-3 in IM-9 cells by complex 4. Importantly, complex 4 was not toxic to the normal Vero cell line (IC50 > 300 μM). In addition, complex 4 showed the concentration dependent cleavage of supercoiled (SC) DNA to its nicked circular (NC) form.

Abstract
A series of six new bis(thiosemicarbazone)copper(i) complexes of the type [Cu(L1–6)2Cl] (1–6) have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of the ligand L4 was determined by the single crystal XRD method. All the complexes adopted trigonal planar (Y-shaped) geometry. All the complexes strongly bind with CT-DNA via intercalative mode, which was further supported by molecular docking studies. Further, the complexes were effectively bind with BSA as observed by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. All the complexes effectively cleave pBR322 DNA through hydrolytic pathway as evidenced from T4 ligase experiments. All the complexes interact with the anticancer receptor focal adhesion kinase (FAK) via electrostatic, van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, σ–π and π–π interactions. In vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes were assessed by MTT assay against four cancer cell lines such as human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), cervical (HeLa), epithelioma (Hep-2) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC), and two normal cell lines namely normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and L6 myotubes with respect to the commercially used anticancer drug cisplatin. All the complexes induce apoptosis in EAC cells, which was confirmed by AO/EB, Hoechst 33258 and PI staining methods. The complexes block cell cycle progression of EAC cells in S phase (DNA synthesis). The cellular uptake studies confirmed the ability of the complexes to go into the cytoplasm and accumulation in the cell nuclei. In the in vivo anticancer studies, the complexes significantly reduce the tumour volume in female Swiss albino mice. Overall, our results ensure the role of thiosemicarbazone-based copper(i) complexes as prospective anticancer agents, induction of apoptosis and S phase arrest with the mitochondrial controlled pathway. The thiosemicarbazone-based copper(i) complexes causing S phase arrest and apoptosis involving the mitochondrial controlled pathway has been investigated.![]()

Abstract
The crystal structures of two title Schiff base derivatives, C15H12N4O·C2H6O (1·EtOH) and C13H13N3O2S (2), were determined at 110 and 100 K, respectively. In the crystal of compound 1·EtOH, the (E)-N'-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl-idene]isonicotinohydrazide and ethanol mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a tape structure running along the b-axis direction. The tapes are weakly linked via a C-H⋯N inter-action. In the crystal of compound 2, (E)-N-methyl-2-[1-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)ethyl-idene]hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a helical chain along the b-axis direction. The chains are further linked into a layer expanding parallel to (102) through C-H⋯S inter-actions.

Abstract
A set each of new bivalent and trivalent ruthenium complexes, [Ru(III)(HL)Cl2(EPh3)2] and [Ru(II)(L)(CO)(EPh3)2] (E = P (complexes and ) or As (complexes and )) were synthesised from the reactions of [Ru(III)Cl3(EPh3)3] with 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde benzoic acid hydrazone (H2L) in methanol-chloroform and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral data and XRD study. A suitable mechanism to account for the formation of bivalent ruthenium carbonyl complexes from the corresponding trivalent precursors is provided by considering the role of added base in the reaction. Interaction of complexes with CT-DNA/bovine serum albumin was analysed with absorption and emission spectral titration studies. In vitro cytotoxic potential of the above ruthenium hydrazone complexes assayed against the A549 cell line revealed a significant growth inhibition. The test complexes added in IC50 concentration into the cell culture medium enhanced the release of lactate dehydrogenase, NO and reactive oxygen species in comparison with the control. Cell death induced by the complexes was studied using a propidium iodide staining assay and showed noticeable changes in the cell morphology which resembled apoptosis.

Abstract
Synthesis, spectral, electrochemical and single crystal X-ray diffraction data of a new series of DMSO containing bivalent ruthenium hydrazone complexes are presented. XRD data of two of the new complexes revealed an octahedral coordination around the ruthenium ion satisfied by NOS2Cl2 atoms. Electrochemical studies showed the metal centred, quasi-reversible, one-electron redox behaviour of the new complexes. The binding of these complexes with biomolecules such as calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein investigated by different spectrophotometric methods revealed an intercalative mode of interaction. The in vitro cytotoxicity of these complexes evaluated by the MTT assay on a panel of cancer and normal cell lines indicated that the above complexes are more toxic to cancer cells with a few micromolar concentrations as the IC50 value, but are significantly less toxic to normal cell lines. The observed variations in the binding interactions and cytotoxicity of the complexes were attributed to the nature of the hydrazide moiety of the hydrazones that influences their biological activities.
