Interaction of tricationic corroles with single/double helix of homopolymeric nucleic acids and DNA.
    Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2013, Jun-12, Volume: 135, Issue:23

    In this manuscript a multitechnique approach is proposed to characterize the interaction between new tri-N-methylpyridyl corrole (TMPC) and its germanium(IV) derivative (GeTMPC), with single- and double-stranded nucleic acid homopolymers and calf thymus DNA. The specificity of each spectroscopic technique has been exploited to analyze the different aspects of corrole binding. Noteworthy, this approach allows us to distinguish between H aggregation of TMPC in the presence of polyriboadenilic acid (poly(rA)) and J aggregates in the presence of polyribocytidinic acid (poly(rC)) as well as to identify the formation of GeTMPC dimers in the presence of single-stranded poly(rA) and pseudointercalation with single-stranded poly(rC).

Amination reaction on copper and germanium β-nitrocorrolates.
    Inorganic chemistry, 2011, Sep-05, Volume: 50, Issue:17

    Copper and germanium complexes of β-substituted nitrocorroles were reacted with 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole to give the corresponding β-amino-β-nitro derivatives, in moderate to good yields. This is the first successful example of a vicarious nucleophilic substitution performed on corrole derivatives, because the same reaction carried out on silver complexes afforded the corresponding 6-azahemiporphycenes by way of corrole ring expansion. The first step of this work is related to the modification of a synthetic protocol for preparation of the β-substituted nitro corroles. The nitration reaction was carried out on a copper corrole using NaNO(2) as the primary source of NO(2)(-) coupled with AgNO(2) used as oxidant. By variation of the molar ratio of the reagents it was possible to direct the product distribution toward mono- and dinitro derivatives. The reaction between mono- and dinitro derivatives of (TtBuCorrCu) with 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole gave good results, leading to the isolation of 2-(NH(2))-3-(NO(2))-TtBuCorrCu and 2,18-(NH(2))(2)-3,17-(NO(2))(2)-TtBuCorrCu in moderate yields. To elucidate factors that influence the reaction, and to highlight the different behavior observed for different metal complex substrates, the electrochemistry of three copper complexes, TtBuPCorrCu, (NO(2))TtBuPCorrCu, and (NO(2))(2)TtBuPCorrCu, was studied by cyclic voltammetry and thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry. The nitro groups on (NO(2))(x)TtBuPCorrCu are highly electron-withdrawing, which leads not only to a substantial positive shift of all redox potentials but also to a unique redox behavior and UV-vis spectrum of the singly reduced product as compared to the parent compound, TtBuPCorrCu. Finally, the amination reaction was carried out on a Ge(IV) nitrocorrolate, giving in good yield the 2-amino-3-nitroderivative, which was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography.
