Designing small-molecule organic redox-active materials, with potential applications in energy storage, has received considerable interest of late. Herein, we report on the synthesis, characterization, and application of two rigid chiral triangles, each of which consist of non-identical pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) and naphthalene diimide (NDI)-based redox-active units. 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic investigations in solution confirm the lower symmetry (C2 point group) associated with these two isosceles triangles. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal their rigid triangular prism-like geometries. Unlike previously investigated equilateral triangle containing three identical NDI subunits, both isosceles triangles do not choose to form one-dimensional supramolecular nanotubes by dint of [C-H···O] interaction-driven columnar stacking. The rigid isosceles triangle, composed of one NDI and two PMDI subunits, forms in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamidetwo different types of intermolecular NDI-NDI and NDI-PMDI stacked dimers with opposite helicities in the solid state. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that both isosceles triangles can accept reversibly up to six electrons. Continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance and electron-nuclear double-resonance spectroscopic investigations, supported by density functional theory calculations, on the single-electron reduced radical anions of the isosceles triangles confirm the selective sharing of unpaired electrons among adjacent redox-active NDI subunit(s) within both molecules. The isosceles triangles have been employed as electrode-active materials in organic rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The evaluation of the structure-performance relationships of this series of diimide-based triangles reveals that the increase in the number of NDI subunits, replacing PMDI ones, within the molecules improves the electrochemical cell performance of the batteries.

New bis(diamidophosphite) ligand with stereogenic phosphorus atoms in the 1,3,2-diaza-phospholidine rings was synthesized based on (1R,2R)-[N, N′-bis(3-hydroxybenzylidene)]-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. This ligand provided up to 73% ee in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of (E)-1,3-diphenylallyl acetate with dimethyl malonate and up to 80% ee in its amination with pyrrolidine, with the starting substrate conversion being quantitative.

The HER2/neu has shown a potential role in the choice of active chemotherapy for breast tumors because of its prognostic relevance and putative role in predicting drug resistance. Moreover, suppressing DNA replication has become an attractive strategy for treating cancer patients. In this attempt, the present study aimed to prepare new series of bis-imidazolium-based saldach {H2(Et)2saldach (nBu-Im+-X–)2} and their cis-Pd(II) complexes (saldach = N,N′-bis-(salicylidene)-R,R-1,2-diaminocyclohexane; X = Cl, PF6, BF4) as anticancer agents. The in vitro cytotoxicity activity of new cis-Pd(II) complexes against human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MCF-7) revealed higher growth-inhibitory effect than the native ligands. They induced a significant decrease for the protein HER2/neu expression with p 50 = 8.5 ± 0.2 μM) in inhibition of cell proliferation. Additionally, in vitro studies of Pd(II) complex (5a) using UV–Vis spectroscopy and binding affinity toward the calf thymus (CT) DNA) showed a combination of covalent, intercalation, hydrogen bonding interactions through formation of (CT-DNA).

The development of rigid covalent chiroptical organic materials, with multiple, readily available redox states, which exhibit high photoluminescence, is of particular importance in relation to both organic electronics and photonics. The chemically stable, thermally robust, and redox-active perylene diimide (PDI) fluorophores have received ever-increasing attention owing to their excellent fluorescence quantum yields in solution. Planar PDI derivatives, however, generally suffer from aggregation-caused emission quenching in the solid state. Herein, we report on the design and synthesis of two chiral isosceles triangles, wherein one PDI fluorophore and two pyromellitic diimide (PMDI) or naphthalene diimide (NDI) units are arranged in a rigid cyclic triangular geometry. The optical, electronic, and magnetic properties of the rigid isosceles triangles are fully characterized by a combination of optical spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry, and computational modeling techniques. Single-crystal XRD analysis shows that both isosceles triangles form discrete, nearly cofacial PDI-PDI π-dimers in the solid state. While the triangles exhibit fluorescence quantum yields of almost unity in solution, the dimers in the solid state exhibit very weak - yet at least an order of magnitude higher - excimer fluorescence yield in comparison with the almost completely quenched fluorescence of a reference PDI. The triangle containing both NDI and PDI subunits shows superior intramolecular energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of the NDI to that of the PDI subunit. Cyclic voltammetry suggests that both isosceles triangles exhibit multiple, easily accessible, and reversible redox states. Applications beckon in arenas related to molecular optoelectronic devices.
