These catalysts were found to dehydrogenate alcohols efficiently at temperatures as low as 50 degrees C to allow Schiff-base condensation and subsequent imine hydrogenation to afford secondary amines. Notably, this ruthenium-based procedure enables the N-alkylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic primary amines with a wide range of primary alcohols in excellent yields of up to 98%. The present methodology is green and water is liberated as the sole byproduct.Öğe Benzimidazol-2-ylidene Silver Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activities, Molecular Docking and Theoretical Investigations(Mdpi, 2023) Tutar, Ugur; Celik, Cem; Ustuen, Elvan; Ozdemir, Namik; Sahin, Neslihan; Semeril, David; Gurbuz, NevinFive silver(I) complexes, namely chloro[1-methallyl-3-benzyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene] silver (6), chloro[1-methallyl-3-(2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver (7), chloro[1-methallyl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxylbenzyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver (8), chloro[1-methallyl- 3-(naphthylmethyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver (9), and chloro [1-methallyl-3-(anthracen-9-yl- methyl)benzimidazol-2-ylidene]silver (10), were prepared starting from their corresponding benzimidazolium salts and silver oxide in 71-81% yields. A single-crystal X-ray structure of 7 was determined. These five Ag-NHC complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial and biofilm formation inhibition properties. Complex 10 exhibited high antimicrobial activities comparable to those obtained with standard drugs such as Fluconazole in contact with Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Candida albicans. The latter complex has been shown to be very efficient in antibiofilm activity, with 92.9% biofilm inhibition at 1.9 mu g/mL on Escherichia coli.

However, severe side effects including reproductive toxicity of cisplatin and other platinum complex cause limitations in their clinical usage. In this context, we aimed to compare the damage in testis caused by cisplatin and a novel platinum-N-heterocyclic carbene complex (Pt-NHC). To this end, 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into five equal groups (n = 7 in each group). Cisplatin and Pt-NHC were intraperitoneally administered as a single dose of 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg, and the rats were then killed 10 days after this treatment. The testicular tissues and serum samples were taken from all rats for the determination of reproductive toxicity. The results showed that cisplatin and Pt-NHC caused toxicity on the reproductive system via increased oxidative and histological damage, decreased serum testosterone levels and negatively altered sperm characteristics in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.05). At the same dose levels, cisplatin generally caused lower toxicity on the reproductive system compared with Pt-NHC. In conclusion, these results suggest that Pt-NHC has more toxic effects on the male reproductive system than cisplatin, and in terms of clinical usage, Pt-NHC may be unsafe compared with cisplatin.Öğe Crystal structure, optical properties, spectroscopic characterization and density functional theory studies of a new rhodium (i)-imidazolidin-2-ylidene complexes: Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic properties(Elsevier Science Sa, 2022) Karaca, Emine Ozge; Ciftci, Osman; Ozdemir, Ilknur; Karabiyik, Hande; Karabiyik, Hasan; Gurbuz, Nevin; Ozdemir, IsmailRhodium(I) complexes bearing imidazolidin-2-ylidene ligands have been widely used in catalytic chemistry, but there are very few reports of the biological properties of these type complexes. A series of [RhCl(COD)(NHC)] complexes were synthesized. The structures of all compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and elemental analysis techniques, which supported the proposed structures. The single-crystal structures of complexes 1a and 1c have been determined. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that complexes 1a and 1c crystallize in the centrosymmetric space groups P n m a and I 1 2/a 1 of the orthorhombic and monoclinic systems respectively. The ground state geometry of these complexes was optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at mixed double zeta basis set, 6-31G(d) for H, C, N, O and Cl and LANL2DZ for Rh. The presence of the different functional groups and the nature of their vibrations were identified by the experimental and theoretical infrared spectra. The optical properties of the studied complex were determined experimentally using UV-visible and photoluminescence techniques in solid-state and theoretically using the TD-DFT method. Hirshfeld surface analysis employing 3D molecular surface contours and 2D fingerprint plots has been used to analyze intermolecular interactions present in the solid-state. The cytotoxic properties of the rhodium(I)-NHC complexes have been assessed in various human cancer lines, including cisplatin-sensitive and resistant cells. IC50 values of these four complexes were determined by the MTS-based assay on three human cancer cell lines; brain (SH-SY5Y), colon (HTC116), and liver (Hep 3B).

In this work, the five new Pd PEPPSI-type complexes bearing NHC spectator ligands were synthesized and characterized by a bunch of spectroscopic techniques. Further confirmations of structural details were provided by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of one pro-ligand and one complex. All these newly synthesized Pd-carbene complexes were found significantly active as catalysts toward direct arylation of five members heterocyclic compounds such as n-propylthaizole, 2-acetylfurane and 2-acetylthiophene with aryl bromides derivatives. These catalysts give significantly good results within two hours with just 1 mol % catalyst loading.
