From the reaction of ZnCl2 with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diflunisal (Hdifl), complex [Zn(difl-O)(2)(MeOH)(4)], 1 was formed, while in the presence of a N,N'-donor heterocyclic ligand 2,2'-bipyridylamine (bipyam), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2'-dipyridylketone oxime (Hpko), the complexes [Zn(difl-O,O')(2)(bipyam)], 2, [Zn(difl-O,O')(2)(bipy)], 3, [Zn(difl-O,O')(2)(phen)], 4 and [Zn(difl-O)2(Hpko)(2)], 5 were isolated, respectively. The complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques and the crystal structures of complexes 2, 3 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The ability of the complexes to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl, 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and hydroxyl radicals and to inhibit soybean lipoxygenase was studied and the complexes were more active than free Hdifl. The interaction of the complexes with serum albumins was monitored by fluorescence emission spectroscopy and the corresponding binding constants were calculated. UV-vis spectroscopy, viscosity measurements and fluorescence emission spectroscopy for the competitive studies of the complexes with ethidium bromide were employed to investigate the interaction of the complexes with calf-thymus DNA and revealed intercalation as the most possible DNA-binding mode. Computational techniques were used to identify possible binding sites of albumins and DNA, and determine the druggability of human and bovine serum albumins with the five novel complexes. The majority of the complexes are stronger binders than the free Hdifl. This is the first study incorporating experimental and computational results to explore the binding activity of metal-NSAID complexes with DNA and serum albumins, suggesting their application as potential metallodrugs.

The complex involving Cu++ refined to final R-factor of 0.034, and the following main features were found: the crystal system is monoclinic and its space group is C2/c, a=12.955(2)Å b=10.793(1)Å c=10.091(2)Å &#946=116.62° V=1261.3(6)޵ Z=4; Dc=1.694(2)g/cm-3; &#955(K&#945Mo)=0.71073Å from measures done, 1441 had I&#62 3&#948 (I).

The late transition metal complexes containing sulfide ligands have trem- endous applications not only in biochemistry but also in industrial catalysis. We have successfully synthesized four different bidentate ligands, 2- (Benzylidene)benzenethiol(NS-1), 2-[2,6-(Dimethylbenzylidene)]benzenethi- ol(NS-2), 2-(2-Chloro-1-methylethylidene)benzenethiol(NS-3) and 2-(Diphe- nylphosphanyl)benzenethiol(PS), and five tridentate ligands, N-{N-[2-(Diph- enylphosphino)benzylidene]-2-sec-butylethylsulfide}(PNS-1), N-{N-[2-(Di- phenylphosphino)benzylamino]-2-sec-butylethylsulfide}(PNS-2), 2-[2-(Diph- enylphosphino)phenylsulfanylmethyl]pyridine(PSN-1), 2-[2-(Diphenylphos- phino)phenylsulfanyl]ethylamine(PSN-2) and 2-(Diphenylphosphino)phenyl- sulfanylacetonitrile(PSN-3). These ligands reacted with the late transition metal (Zn, Ag, Pd, and Ni) salts, and produced complexes 1-12. Besides their spectra, we also obtained crystal structures of complexes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. We found that the PNS tridentate ligands had different bonding modes in zinc, silver, palladium, and nickel complexes. For examples, in zinc complexes 1 and 2 only P and S atoms were coordinated to the metal while all P, N, and S atoms were coordinated to the Pd metal in Pd complexes. It indicated that thiolether prefers to coordinate to palladium but not to zinc in our cases. When PNS-2 went through different reaction routes, two silver complexes 4 and 5 with different coordination modes a M2L2 type dinuclear complex and a ML2 type mononuclear complex were obtained.. When reacting PNS-2 with nickel, we obtained an unique tetranuclear nickel complex 6. PSN-1 showed two different coordinate modes in complexes 8-10 while PSN-2 and silver produced a dinuclear silver complex 11 that resembled complex 4. PSN-3 coordinated to Pd ion by phosphorus and sulfide atoms. As such, we demonstrated the various coordinated modes in PNS and PSN ligands. Finally PS bidentate ligand reacted with zinc salt produced complex 7 with one oxidized ligand. The variable temperature NMR experiment was also used to probe the structural change that occurred in solution state for 3.

[pt] O presente trabalho descreve a síntese e a caracterização de treze complexos envolvendo as poliamina etilenodiamina, diaminopropano, diaminobutano, espermidina e espermina e os íons metálicos Zn (II), Ni (II) e Pd (II). Todas as sínteses foram realizadas em água, um solvente de importância biológica, e em condições próximas às fisiológicas, com o objetivo de mimetizar as ligações e compreender como ocorre a interação das poliaminas com ânions no ciclo biológico, haja vista que em pH fisiológico essas moléculas se encontram primordialmente na forma protonada e interagem com biomoléculas aniônicas, entre essas, determinados sítios do DNA. Utilizou-se para a caracterização dos complexos as técnicas de condutivimetria, análise elementar, espectrometria de absorção atômica, análise termogravimétrica, espectroscopia no infravermelho, espectroscopia de ressonância magnética nuclear de Hidrogênio e Carbono 13 (para os complexos de zinco), difratometria de Raio-X (para os cristais de zinco), entre outras. Inicialmente foram sintetizados os complexos do tipo (poliamina[ZnCl(4)]) e, posteriormente, compostos análogos de íon níquel (II) de estequiometria (poliamina[NiCl(4)]). Observou-se que nesses complexos, as poliaminas interagem com o ânion tetraclorometalato (II) através de ligações de hidrogênio. Essas interações ocorrem entre o hidrogênio da amina primária e o cloro da esfera de coordenação. Os complexos formados pelo íon metálico paládio (II) apresentaram, conforme as análises realizadas, estruturas químicas distintas dos demais compostos. Neste caso, foram obtidos os complexos [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))], [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))] e [Pd(2)(Cl)(4)(C(10)H(27)N(4))], que apresentam importância como possíveis fármacos para o tratamento do câncer. / [en] This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of thirteen complexes involving the polyamines ethylenediamine, diaminopropane, diaminobutane, spermidine and spermine, and the metal ions Zn (II), Ni (II) and Pd (II). All syntheses were performed in water, a solvent of biological importance, and under near-physiological changes in order to mimic the bonds and understand the interaction of polyamines with anions in the biological cycle. At physiological pH these molecules are primarily in the protonated form and interact with anionic molecules, among which certain DNA sites. The complexes were characterized by the techniques of conductivity, elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance of Hydrogen and Carbon 13 (for the zinc complexes), and Xray diffraction (for zinc crystals). The complexes of the type (polyamine [ZnCl4]) were synthesized first and, subsequently, analogous compounds of ion nickel (II) with stoichiometry (polyamine [NiCl4]) were synthesized. It was observed that in these complexes, the polyamines interact with the tetrachlorometalate (II) anion via hydrogen bonds. These interactions occur between the primary amine hydrogen and the chlorine from the coordination sphere. The metal ion complexes formed by palladium (II) showed, as the analysis data, chemical structures distinct from the other compounds. In this case, we obtained the complex [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))], [Pd(Cl)(2)(C(3)H(10)N(2))] e [Pd(2)(Cl)(4)(C(10)H(27)N(4))], which have importance as potential drugs for the treatment of cancer.

Kationische Zinkkomplexe werden als katalytisch aktive Spezies zahlreicher Lewis-Säure-katalysierter Reaktionen vermutet. Die diesen Katalysereaktionen zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen sind jedoch unzureichend verstanden. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation ist die Synthese strukturell definierter kationischer Zinkorganyle als Modellverbindungen für katalytisch aktive Spezies zinkkatalysierter Reaktionen. Der Fokus liegt auf Zinkverbindungen mit Cyclopentadienylliganden (Cp-Liganden), da Cp-Liganden ungewöhnliche Bindungssituationen stabilisieren können. In dieser Arbeit wird die erfolgreiche Synthese und Charakterisierung mehrerer kationischer Zinkkomplexe des Pentamethylcyclopentadienylliganden (Cp*-Liganden) beschrieben. Ein gemeinsames Strukturmerkmal dieser Komplexe besteht in der Koordination des Zinkatoms durch einen Cp*-Liganden sowie durch Neutralliganden. Die hohe Elektrophilie dieser Verbindungen ließ sich durch Reaktivitätsuntersuchungen belegen. Ein weiterer Ansatz zur Stabilisierung kationischer Zinkverbindungen besteht in der Verwendung funktionalisierter Cp-Liganden, die über eine neutrale Donorgruppe in einer Seitenkette verfügen. Es wurden neutrale und kationische Zinkkomplexe amino- sowie thiofunktionalisierter Cp-Liganden synthetisiert und charakterisiert. Für die kationischen Komplexe konnte eine intramolekulare Stabilisierung des Zinkatoms durch die Donorgruppe nachgewiesen werden. Einige der in dieser Arbeit beschriebenen Zinkkomplexe wurden als Präkatalysatoren intermolekularer Hydroaminierungsreaktionen eingesetzt, wobei teilweise hohe katalytische Aktivitäten erreicht wurden. Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus der Katalysereaktionen zeigten, dass eine hohe Elektrophilie des Zinkzentralatoms für eine effektive Katalyse entscheidend ist. / Cationic zinc complexes are assumed to act as catalytically active species in various Lewis acid catalyzed reactions. However, the mechanisms of these reactions are poorly understood. The aim of this dissertation is to synthesize structurally well-defined cationic zinc organyls as model compounds for catalytically active species in zinc catalyzed reactions. The thesis focuses on zinc complexes bearing cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands, as Cp ligands can stabilize unusual bonding situations. The successful synthesis and characterization of several cationic zinc complexes with pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) ligands is described. As a common structural feature of these complexes, the zinc center is coordinated by a Cp* ligand and additional neutral ligands. The highly electrophilic character of these compounds was proven in reactivity studies. A further approach to stabilize cationic zinc compounds is to apply functionalized Cp ligands featuring a donor group in a side chain. Neutral and cationic zinc complexes bearing amino- and thio-functionalized Cp ligands were synthesized and characterized. The cationic donor-functionalized complexes were shown to exhibit an intramolecular stabilization of the zinc atoms by the donor groups. Several zinc complexes which are described in this thesis were examined as precatalysts in intermolecular hydroamination reactions. In some cases high catalytic activities were achieved. Studies on the mechanism of the catalysis reactions revealed that the presence of a highly electrophilic zinc center is crucial for good catalytic performance.
