Abstract: LUMINESCENT CYCLOMETALATED PLATINUM (II) COMPLEXES WITH ISOCYANIDE LIGANDS AS NUCLEIC ACID PROBES, TOPOISOMERASE POISONS AND ANTI-CANCER AGENTS LIU JIA Ph.D. THESIS THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG May 2011 Abstract of thesis entitled LUMINESCENT CYCLOMETALATED PLATINUM (II) COMPLEXES WITH ISOCYANIDE LIGANDS AS NUCLEIC ACID PROBES, TOPOISOMERASE POISONS AND ANTI-CANCER AGENTS Submitted by Liu Jia for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in May 2011 Since the discovery of anti-cancer cisplatin and its derivatives, extensive studies have been conducted on the interaction between platinum(II) complexes and their proposed cellular target DNA. Besides DNA, other cellular targets which may improve cancer cell specificity are less explored. Recent studies have shown that poisoning of DNA topoisomerases (Topo) could be owing to DNA interaction by DNA intercalators. In this thesis work, a class of planar cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes were prepared and their activities on DNA and Topo were examined. A new class of highly cytotoxic luminescent platinum(II) complexes containing C DEGREESN DEGREESN (HC DEGREESN DEGREESN = 6- phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine) ligand were prepared and found to II act as DNA TopoI poisons and probes. [Pt (C DEGREESN DEGREESN)(C≡NR)]ClO 3-1c (R = tert-butyl) inhibited TopoI-mediated DNA relaxation with concentration down to 20 nM. The high potency of 3-1c towards TopoI was attributed to its stabilization of the transient TopoI-DNA cleavage complexes via π---π interactions. The superior photoluminescent properties of 3-1c were used for the in-gel detection of TopoI-DNA cleavage complexes. The detection limit of this method was determined to be approximately 1.8 U/L, which is similar to that of western blotting (1.2 U/L) and much lower than that of coomassie blue staining. 3-1c displayed a significantly high cytotoxicity against human carcinoma cell lines while relatively low toxicity toward normal human cells. The cell death pathway caused by 3-1c was attributed to its TopoI poisoning, which induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Another series of platinum(II) complexes which contain bidentate C DEGREESN ligands II were prepared. [Pt (C DEGREESN)(C≡NR) ]OTf 4-1d (HC DEGREESN = 2-phenylpyridine, R = 2-naphthyl) is stable under physiological conditions and intercalates DNA preferentially at major groove. This complex inhibits TopoIIα-mediated DNA relaxation and kDNA decatenation, with a much higher potency than the known TopoIIα poison Vp-16. To confirm that the cytotoxicity of 4-1d is related to its TopoIIa poisoning, wild-type and TopoIIa-knockdown SUNE1 cell lines were established using siRNA method. Compared with the parental cells, 4-1d is 22-fold less cytotoxic towards the cells with reduced TopoIIa expression, suggesting that TopoIIa is a cellular target of 4-1d. Self-assembling properties of the cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes on phosphate backbones of oligonucleotides due to electrostatic interaction were studied. Due to the superior photophysical properties of the platinum(II) complexes, the subtle competition between self-assembling and hydrophobic intercalation of platinum(II) complexes with DNA can be used to monitor the changes

This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the development of gold- and non-classical platinum-based anti-cancer agents that display distinctively different anti-cancer mechanisms compared to the commonly used cisplatin. These metal complexes contain N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands which are able to form strong M-C(NHC) bonds, conferring high stability and favorable lipophilicity, reactivity and binding specificity of metal complexes on biomolecules. The author demonstrates significant advances made in anti-cancer gold(III), gold(I) and platinum(II) complexes. Detailed chemical synthesis, in vitro and/or in vivo anti-cancer activities are clearly presented including: (i) a class of Au(III) complexes containing a highly fluorescent N^N^N ligand and NHC ligand that simultaneously act as fluorescent thiol “switch-on” probes and anti-cancer agents; (ii) a dinuclear gold(I) complex with a mixed diphosphine and bis(NHC) ligand displaying favorable stability and showing significant inhibition of tumor growth in two independent mice models with no observable side effects; and (iii) a panel of stable luminescent cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes exhibiting high specificity to localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) domain, inducing ER stress and cell apoptosis. These works highlight the clinical potential that gold and platinum complexes offer for cancer treatment.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of luminescent platinum (II) complexes with different coordination patterns, (C^C*N^N), (N^C*N), (N^N*C) and (N^N^C) are reported, where "C^N or N^N" denotes a bidentate coordination to the platinum to form a five-membered metallacycle and "C*N" denotes a bidentate coordination to the platinum to form a six-membered metallacycle. Sixteen cyclometalated platinum complexes have been synthesized with different coordination patterns, which include six complexes with tridentate N^C*N cyclometalating ligands (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18), five complexes with N^N*C cyclometalating ligands (19a, 19b, 20a, 20b, and 24), three complexes with N^N^C cyclometalating ligands (21a, 21b, and 29) and two complexes with tetradentate C^C*N^N cyclometalating ligands (33 and 34). The structures of the platinum complexes 13, 15, 16, 18, 19a, 19b, 20a, 21a, 21b, 24, 29, 33, and 39 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In platinum complexes with five-six membered metallacycle (15, 16, 18, 19a, 19b, 20a, 24, and 39), the square geometry of the complexes is improved when compared to that of platinum complexes with five-five membered metallacycle as the biting angle is increased. The tetradentate coordination (C^C*N^N), square planar geometry of complex 33 are revealed from its X-ray crystal structure. The DFT calculations have been carried out on complexes 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 33, and 34 to examine the molecular orbital character of the complexes, which are used in interpreting the electronic spectra of the complexes. The photophysical properties of the platinum complexes were studied and a majority of the complexes were highly emissive in solution at room temperature. Complex 13 exhibited the highest quantum yield (65%) among all of the complexes. Self quenching was not observed in a majority of the platinum complexes at lower concentrations. The cytotoxicity (IC50) of the complexes in three lung cancerous cell lines and one prostate cancer cell line were determined by MTT assay. The toxic platinum complexes induced the cell death by triggering apoptosis. The interactions of the platinum complexes with plasmid and calf thymus DNA were studied. Activation of caspase -7, PARP, and p53 were also observed in RV1 and HCC827 cell lines when treated with platinum complexes. Complexes 35, 37 and 38 were more potent than the clinically approved drug, cis-platin.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled LUMINESCENT PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES CONTAINING DIANIONIC TETRADENTATE LIGANDS HAVING MIXED OXYGEN, NITROGEN AND CARBON DONOR ATOMS AND PLATINUM(II)-CONTAINING PHOSPHORESCENT POLYMERS: SYNTHESIS, PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND MATERIAL APPLICATIONS Submitted by TONG WAI YIP for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in May 2014 Square planar platinum(II) complexes exhibit rich photophysical properties which are tunable through the structural variation of ligands and can be harnessed for applications in materials science. In this thesis, the great variety of spectroscopic properties of various square planar cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes supported by tetradentate (O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC and O DEGREESN DEGREESC DEGREESN) and tridentate (C DEGREESN DEGREESN) ligands containing dipyridyl moieties will be highlighted, along with their synthesis, characterization and potential application in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Ind Platinum(II) complexes supported by tetradentate O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC or O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC types of ligands (O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC = 2-(4-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-6'-phenyl-2,2'- Ind bipyridin-6-yl)phenolate; O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC = 5,5-dialkyl-2-(6-phenylpyridin-2-yl) indeno[1,2-b]pyridin-9-olate) are emissive in solution at room temperature, with emission maxima tunable from 582 nm to 640 nm and quantum yields up to 0.28. Mechanochromism and the associated luminescence change in [Pt(dihexyl- Ind O DEGREESN DEGREESN DEGREESC)] (Complex 3.6) were found associated with the two different crystal packings revealed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies. Fast vapochromic response of [Pt(3-O DEGREESN DEGREESN-2,6-difluoropyridine)] (Complex 3.3) on chloroform or dichloromethane vapours was found to be associated with structural changes in the solid state through PXRD studies. Robust and strongly emissive platinum(II) complexes supported by tetradentate O DEGREESN DEGREESC DEGREESN ligands featuring fused six-five-six membered metallacyclic ring (O DEGREESN DEGREESC DEGREESN = 2-(4-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-6-(9-(pyridin-2-yl) carbazol-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)phenol) have been prepared. These platinum(II) complexes are among the most efficient yellow phosphors, with emission maxima ranging from 526 nm to 553 nm and luminescence quantum yields as high as -1 0.47-0.86. A yellow OLED with power efficiency (η ) up to 52 lm W is power demonstrated. In combination with the typical blue emitting iridium(III) 2' bis(4,6-difluorophenyl-pyridinato-N, C ) picolinate (FIrpic), white organic -1 light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) displayed η up to 61 lm W and reduced power -2 efficiency roll-off at 1000 cd m . Random copolymers with photo-inert backbone poly[(N-vinylcarbazole)-co- ((R-C DEGREESN DEGREESN)Pt)] and poly[(2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5-(4-vinylphenyl)-1,3,4- oxadiazole)-co-((R-C DEGREESN DEGREESN)Pt)] (R-C DEGREESN DEGREESN = 3-(6-phenyl-4-(4-vinylphenyl) pyridine-2-yl)-isoquinoline or 3-(4-(4-(dec-9-enyloxy)phenyl)-6-phenylpyridin- 2-yl)isoquinoline) have been synthesized and characterized. Energy transfer between the charge transporting units and emissive (R-C DEGREESN DEGREESN)Pt units was revealed through ICP-MS inve

STRUCTURAL AND SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES AND ANTICANCER ACTIVITIES Submitted by SHUM YUEN TING For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in April 2007 Planar [Pt(terpy)X] complexes (terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine; X = Cl, SR) have frequently been cited as classic DNA metallointercalators in bioinorganic chemistry; + however, application studies of [Pt(terpy)L] (L = monoanionic ligand) and its derivatives in metal-based therapeutics are limited. In this work, a series of platinum(II) terpyridine complexes containing different glycosylated acetylide and arylacetylide ligands were prepared and characterized, the photophysical properties of which were investigated. A low-energy absorption band at 409-476 nm, which was assignable to a MLCT transition was observed in its electronic absorption spectra. Upon photoexcitation, intense emission bands at 513-733 nm were observed and were believed to originate from the excited states of 3 3 MLCT and LLCT character. Cytotoxic activities of the ''Pt(terpy)(glycosylated arylacetylide)'' system with significant inhibitory effect toward a series of carcinoma cell lines were discovered. [Pt( Bu terpy)(L3)](CF SO ) (L3 = 4-ethynylphenoxy 3 3 3 -2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranoside) (IC = 0.06-0.1 M) was found to be 50 i260-fold more effective in growth inhibition of the human brain cancer cell line (SF-268) than cisplatin. The binding interactions of selected platinum(II) complexes 4 5 -1 3 to calf-thymus DNA featured binding constants of 10-10 mol dm . Significantly, the spectral data were found to support a specific binding mode at the AT sequences of DNA for selected complexes. The results of cytometry experiments showed that [Pt( Bu terpy)(L3)](CF SO ) 3 3 3 induce 52.4% apoptosis in NCI-H460 cells. Based on microarray and Western blotting analyses, down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins, including Bcl-2 and caspase-3, were observed for platinum-treated NCI-H460 cells. When taken together, the [Pt( Bu terpy)(L3)](CF SO)-induced apoptosis in NCI-H460 cells should 3 3 3 normally occur via the mitochondrial pathway. A family of mono- and binuclear Cy P-supported gold(I) complexes which contained various π-conjugated arylacetylide ligands, were prepared and characterized. The lowest-energy singlet transitions were predominately intraligand in nature and exhibited both phenyl and acetylenic (ππ*) character. The organic triplet emissions of arylacetylide groups were thus "illuminated" at ambient conditions by ligation to the [Au(PCy )] fragment. Strong photoluminescence was detected in solid and solution states of the gold(I) complexes under ambient conditions with lifetimes in the microsecond regime. Selected gold(I) complexes were also subjected to cytotoxicity analysis; only [Au(PCy )(C≡CC H )] showed cytotoxicities (IC = 3 10 7 50 4.9-14.5 M) that were comparable to clinical cisplatin. An acetylide ligand that was appended with lomefloxacin moiety was coordinated to ii with gold(I) and platinum(II) complexes to form [CyPAu(lome)] and [Pt( Bu tpy)(lome)] (CF SO ) (lome = modified lomefloxacin), both of which were 3 3 3 structurally characterized.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on topics of research concerned with chemical structure and bonding. The scope of the series spans the entire Periodic Table and addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the elements. It also focuses attention on new and developing areas of modern structural and theoretical chemistry such as nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters and supramolecular structures. Physical and spectroscopic techniques used to determine, examine and model structures fall within the purview of Structure and Bonding to the extent that the focus is on the scientific results obtained and not on specialist information concerning the techniques themselves. Issues associated with the development of bonding models and generalizations that illuminate the reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also relevant. The individual volumes in the series are thematic. The goal of each volume is to give the reader, whether at a university or in industry, a comprehensive overview of an area where new insights are emerging that are of interest to a larger scientific audience. Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years should be presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. A description of the physical basis of the experimental techniques that have been used to provide the primary data may also be appropriate, if it has not been covered in detail elsewhere. The coverage need not be exhaustive in data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the new principles being developed that will allow the reader, who is not a specialist in the area covered, to understand the data presented. Discussion of possible future research directions in the area is welcomed. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Readership: research scientists at universities or in industry, graduate students Special offer For all customers who have a standing order to the print version of Structure and Bonding, we offer free access to the electronic volumes of the Series published in the current year via SpringerLink.

The X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(trpy){C≡CC H -N(CH CH OCH )-4}](OTf) has been 6 4 2 2 3 2 determined. The lowest energy absorption of the complexes except [Pt(trpy)(C≡CB15C5)](OTf) were tentatively assigned to originate from a π(C≡C) → π*(trpy) ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) transition mixed with some metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) contribution. The ion-binding and pH dependent properties have also been studied. Their photophysical and spectroscopic properties were shown to be dependent on pH and selected metal ions, and their colorimetric and luminescence chemosensing properties were described. Another series of platinum(II) terpyridyl alkynyl complexes, t - [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C-R)]X [R = -C H -NH -4, X = OTf; R = -C H -NCS-4, X = 3 6 4 2 6 4 - - - OTf; R =-C H -NHCOCH I-4, X = OTf; R = -UH-5 (UH = Uracil), X = Cl; 6 4 2 -UMe-5, X = OTf (UMe = 1,3-dimethyluracil)] have been successfully synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of t t [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C-C H-NCS-4)](OTf), [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C-UH-5)]Cl and 3 6 4 3 [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C-UMe-5)](OTf) have been determined. Their photophysical and electrochemical behaviour, together with their protein labeling and DNA binding studies, have also been studied. The emission of the complexes in solution at room temperature has been tentatively assigned as originated from a dπ(Pt) → π*( Bu trpy) triplet MLCT excited state. The 77 K butyronitrile glass displayed dual luminescence which were assigned to originate from an intraligand (IL) phosphorescence of the terpyridine ligand and a dπ(Pt) → t 3 t π*( Bu trpy) MLCT phosphorescence. The [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C- 3 3 C H-NHCSNH-4)](OTf)-HSA and [Pt( Bu trpy)(C≡C-C H -NHCOCH S- 6 4 3 6 4 2 4)](OTf)-HSA (HSA = human serum albumin) bioconjugates were highly colored and exhibited luminescence in the visible region upon photoexcitation.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF LUMINESCENT PLATINUM(II) AND GOLD(III) COMPLEXES WITH TRIDENTATE PINCER-TYPE LIGANDS - FROM COMPUTATIONAL STUDY TO EXPERIMENTS AND APPLICATION STUDIES Submitted by LAM Suk Hang for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in June 2015 Square planar platinum(II) and gold(III) complexes possess unique spectroscopic and photophysical properties which enable them as promising candidates for many applications such as optoelectronic devices and biological sensors. The understanding of the intrinsic properties of these complexes is therefore essential to optimize their performance as well as provide guidance on the molecular design for specific applications. This thesis aims to provide useful insights for the molecular design strategies with the aid of computational studies to tune the electronic properties of these complexes and electroluminescence studies in the fabrication of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Computational studies have been performed to inspect electronic structures and photophysical properties as well as their correlation with the nature of ancillary ligands in the platinum(II) complexes of 1,3-bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2′-yl)benzene, [Pt(bzimb)(C≡C-R)], 1,3-bis-hetero-azolylbenzenes, [Pt(N DEGREESC DEGREESN)(C≡C-R)], and pyridine-based N-heterocyclic carbene, [Pt(NHC)(C≡C-R)] . It was found that the emission of the arylalkynylplatinum(II) complexes with pyridine-based N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was originated from the triplet alkynyl-to-tridentate pincer ligand-to-ligand charge transfer excited state mixed with platinum-to-tridentate pincer metal-to-ligand charge transfer character, and the excited state energy was found to be red-shifted according to the increasing π electron-donating ability of the aryl group attached to the alkynyl ligand. On the other hand, the emission energies of the platinum(II) complexes of 1,3-bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2′-yl)benzene and 1,3-bis-hetero-azolylbenzenes were found to be dependent on the different electron-donating substituents on the pincer ligands. Calculations have also been performed on the representative alkynylplatinum(II) + + complexes [Pt(trpy)(C≡C-R)] (trpy = 2,2′ 6′,2′′-terpyridine), [Pt(bzimpy)(C≡C-R)] (bzimpy = 2,6-bis(N-alkylbenzimidazol-2′-yl)pyridine) and [Pt(bzimb)(C≡C-R)] as well as alkynylgold(III) complexes [Au(C DEGREESN DEGREESC)(C≡C-R)] (C DEGREESN DEGREESC = 2,6-diphenylpyridine), [Au{C(Np) DEGREESN DEGREESC(Np)}(C≡C-R)] (C(Np) DEGREESN DEGREESC(Np) = 2,6-di(2-naphthyl)pyridine) and [Au(N DEGREESN DEGREESN)(C≡C-R)] (N DEGREESN DEGREESN = 2,6-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine) in order to have a better understanding on their nature of the emissive origins as well as the radiative and nonradiative processes. In particular, factors governing the ordering of the triplet excited states and radiative decay rate constants of the emissive state ( ES) have been examined. Their potential energy profiles for the deactivation process from the ES via triplet metal-centered states have also been explored. This study revealed for the first time the potential energy profiles for the thermal deactivation pathway of square planar platinum(II) and gold(III) complexes. In addition to the computational
