International audience; CuI reacts with E-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh, L1, to afford the coordination polymer (CP) [Cu2I2{μ-E-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh}2]n (1a). The unprecedented square-grid network of 1 is built upon alternating two-dimensional (2D) layers with an ABAB sequence and contains rhomboid Cu2(μ2-I)2 clusters as secondary building units (SBUs). Notably, layer A, interconnected by bridging L1 ligands, contains exclusively dinuclear units with short Cu···Cu separations [2.6485(7) Å; 115 K]. In contrast, layer B exhibits Cu···Cu distances of 2.8133(8) Å. The same network is observed when CuBr reacts with L1. In the 2D network of [Cu2Br2{μ-E-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh}2]n (1b), isotype to 1a, one square-grid-type layer contains Cu2(μ2-Br)2 SBUs with short Cu···Cu contacts [2.7422(6) Å at 115K], whereas the next layer incorporates exclusively Cu2(μ2-Br)2 SBUs with a significantly longer Cu···Cu separation [2.9008(10) Å]. The evolution of the crystallographic parameters of 1a and 1b was monitored between 115 and 275 K. Conversely, the isomeric Z-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh ligand L2 reacts with CuI to form the 2D CP [Cu4(μ3-I)4(μ-Z-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh}2]n (2a) with closed-cubane SBUs. A dinuclear zero-dimensional complex [Cu2Br2{μ-Z-PhS(CH2CH═CHCH2)SPh}2] (2b) is formed when CuBr is reacted with L2. Upon reaction of E-TolS(CH2CH═CHCH2)STol, L3, with CuI, the 2D CP [{Cu(μ3-I)}2(μ-L3)]n containing parallel-arranged infinite inorganic staircase ribbons, is generated. When CuX reacts with Z-TolS(CH2CH═CHCH2)STol, L4, the isostructural 2D CPs [Cu2X2{μ-Z-TolS(CH2CH═CHCH2)STol}2] (4a X = I; 4b X = Br) are formed. In contrast to the CPs 1a,b, the layers based on rhombic grids of 4a,b incorporate Cu2(μ2-X)2 SBUs featuring uniformly identical Cu···Cu distances within each layer. The TGA traces showed that all these materials are stable up to ∼200 °C. Moreover, the photophysical properties have been studied, including absorption, emission, excitation spectra, and emission lifetimes at 298 and 77 K. The spectra were interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations.

International audience; (E)-3-Arylidenechroman-4-ones 1a–e (Ar = Ph, p-MeC6H4, p-MeOC6H4, p-MeSC6H4, p-ClC6H4) react regioselectively (100%) with ethyl diazoacetate 2 in refluxing toluene to afford in good yields spiro-Δ2-pyrazolines ethyl 4’-oxo-4-aryl-spiro[chromanone-3’,5-pyrazole]-3-carboxylate 3a–e. The occurrence of Δ1-pyrazolines as reaction intermediates has been evidenced. The regio- and stereochemistry of spiranic compounds 3a-e has been established on the basis of spectroscopic data and elemental analyses, corroborated by a single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis of one product 3a. The spiro-adducts 3a–e were brominated by NBS to give spirocyclic-substituted 3-bromo-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrazoles 4a–e. The latter compounds evolve straightforwardly N2 in refluxing toluene to afford substituted spirocyclic 1-bromocyclopropane-1-carboxylates. The molecular structure of cyclopropane derivative 5e has been determined by means of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.

The zwitterionic spirocyclic \(\lambda_5\) -Silicates bis(3,4,5,6-tetrabromo- 1,2-benzenediolato(2- ))[2-(pyrrolidinio)ethyl]silicate (5; and its monohydrate 5 · H\(_2\)O) and bis[1,2-benzenediolato(2- )][( dimethylammonio)methyl]silicate (6) were synthesized by various methods including Si-C bond cleavage reactions. The crystal structures of 5, 5 · H\(_2\)O, and 6 were investigated by Xray düfraction. Furthermore, 5, 5 · H\(_2\)O, 6, and the related zwitterionic \(\lambda_5\)-spirosilicates 1 · 1/4 CH\(_3\)CN, 2 · CH\(_3\)CN, 3 · CH\(_3\)CN, and 4 were characterized by solid-state NMR spectroscopy (\(^{29}\)Si and \(^{15}\)N CP/MAS). The pentacoordinate silicon atoms of 5, 5 · H\(_2\)O (two crystallographically independent ZWitterions and two crystallographically independent water molecules), and 6 (two crystallographically independent zwitterions) are surrounded by four oxygen atoms and one carbon atom. The coordination polyhedrons around the silicon atoms of 5 and 6 can be described as distorted (5) or nearly ideal (6) trigonal bipyramids, the carbon atoms being in equatorial positions. 5 forms intramolecular and 6 intermolecular (--+ formation of dimeric units) N- H···O hydrogen bonds. The coordination polyhedrons around the two crystallographically independent silicon atoms of 5 · H\(_2\)O can be described as a nearly ideal and slightly distorted square pyramid, respectively, the carbon atoms being in the apical positions. In the crystal lattice of 5 · H\(_2\)O, intermolecular N-H···O and 0-H···O hydrogen bonds between the zwitterions and water molecules are observed. The results obtained by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy are consistent for each compound studied.

Four different syntheses of the potent and selective muscanruc antagonist cyclohexyl( 4- fluorophenyl)(3-piperidinopropyl)silanol ( p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol, p-F-HHSiD (2b); isolated as hydrochloride 2b· HCl) are described (starting materials: (CH\(_3\)O)\(_2\)SiCH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)CH\(_2\)Cl and Si(OCH\(_3\))\(_4\) ). In addition, the synthesis of the corresponding carbon analogue p-fluoro-hexahydro-difenidol ( p-F-HHD (2a); isolated as 2a· HCI) and the syntheses of three p-F-HHSiD derivatives (3-5), with a modified cyclic amino group, are reported (3: piperidinojpyrrolidino exchange, isolated as 3· HCI; 4: piperidinoj hexamethylenimino exchange, isolated as 4 · HCl; 5: quaternization of 2b with methyl iodide). The chiral compounds 2a, 2b, 3, 4 and 5 were prepared as racemates. In functional pharmacological studies, 3-5 behaved as simple competitive antagonists at musearlnie Ml receptors in rabbit vas deferens, M2 receptors in guinea-pig atria, and M3 receptors in guinea-pig ileal smooth rnuscle. The pyrrolidino (3) and hexamethylenimino (4) analogues of the parent drug p-F-HHSiD (2b) displayed the highest affinity for Ml and M3 receptors (pA\(_2\) values: 7.0-7.4) but exhibited lower affinity for cardiac M2 receptors (pA\(_2\) : 5.9 and 6.0). Their affinity profile (Ml- M3 > M2) is different from that of p-F-HHSiD (2b) (M3 > Ml > M2), but qualitatively very similar tothat of p-F-HHD (2a). The methiodide 5 exhibited the highest affinity for Ml receptors (pA\(_2\) : 8.5) but lower affinity for M2 and M3 receptors by factors of 5.6 and 3.6, respectively.

A method was developed to detennine the affinities of antimuscarinic drugs at M\(_1\) receptors. [\(^3\)H](±)-Telenzepine served as radioligand in crude preparations of calf superior cervical ganglia and showed high affinity for a single receptor population. consisting of M1 receptors (K\(_D\) = 1.12 nM). Kinetic experiments showed monophasic association (k\(_1\) =0.017 min\(^{-1}\) nM\(^{-1}\) ) and dissociation (k\(_1\) = 0.017 min\(^{-1}\) ) kinetics, the half-life of dissociation being 41 min at 37°C. The kinetie K\(_D\) value amounted to 1.00 nM. M\(_1\) affinities for pirenzepine, methoctramine. hexahydro-sila-difenidol and p-fluoro-hexahydro-sila-difenidol detennined in competition experiments were similar to those found in functional studies with MI receptors in rabbit isolated vas deferens. The binding assay was used to deterriline the affinities of the (R) and (S) enantiomers of tertiary (trihexyphenidyl, hexahydro-difenidol. hexbutinol, p-fluoro-hexbutinol) and quatemary musearlnie antagonists (trihexyphenidyl methiodide. hexbutinol methiodide). Comparison of results obtained with the rabbit vas deferens suggested that the ionic environment may influence the affinities.

Norbornene and norbornadiene insert across the exo-face of their C=C bond into the Pd-acyl bond of [(OC)(3)Fe{mu-Si(OMe)(2)(OMe)}(mu-dppm)Pd{C(=O)Me}] and (1a) (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) to afford the heterodinuclear complexes [(OC)(3){(MeO)(3)Si}Fe(mu-dppm)Pd{C7H10C(=O)Me}] (2) and C(OC)(3){(MeO)(3)Si}-Fe(mu-dppm)Pd{C7H8CO)Me}] (3), respectively. In these insertion products, the alkoxysilyl ligand has become terminally bound whereas a dative bond between the acetyl oxygen and the metal allows the square-planar Pd centre to achieve a 16e configuration, thus resulting in a five-membered Pd-C-C-C-O ring. This chemistry was extended to chiral olefins and when the dppm and dppa complexes 1a,b were reacted with a 9:1 mixture of (+/-)-(2-cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-endo-yl and -2-exo-yl acetate (4,4'), the stable insertion products [(OC)(3)Fe{mu-Si(OMe)(2)(OMe)}(mu-Ph2PXPPh2)Pd{C9H9NO3C(=O)Me}] (5a,5a' X = CH2;5b,5b' X = NH) were isolated in high yield. A high stereo- and regioselectivity was found for these metallacarbonylations. Spectroscopic data as well as X-ray diffraction studies show that in contrast to 2 and 3, the mu(2)-eta(2)-Si-O interaction present in the precursors la,b is retained in 5a,b. The Pd atom adopts a pseudo square-pyramidal coordination resulting from an additional weak ketonic interaction with the 5-exo-acetyl group of the 2-endo-acetoxy-2-cyano-7-oxabicyclo [2.2.1] hept-5-exo-yl moiety, which leads to the formation of a five-membered chelate ring. Electronic effects are invoked to account for these different structural features. Under a carbon monoxide atmosphere, CO migratory insertion into the Pd-oxanorbornyl bond of pure 5a,b occurs and leads to the acyl complexes [(OC)(3)Fe{mu-Si(OMe)(2)(OMe)}(mu-Ph2PXPPh2)Pd{C(=O)C9H9NO3C(=O)Me}] (6a X = CH2; 6b X = NH). These successive insertion reactions constitute the first elementary steps on the way to polyketone chain growth mediated by a bimetallic system.
