The new, water soluble, aminomethylphosphines were synthesized from P(CH 2 OH) 3 and alkylpiperazines: P(CH 2 N(CH 2 CH 2 ) 2 NCH 3 ) 3 (1) and P(CH 2 N(CH 2 CH 2 ) 2 NCH 2 CH 3 ) 3 (2). Described already in literature P(CH 2 N(CH 2 CH 2 ) 2 O) 3 (3) were also obtained. The spectroscopic 1 H, 31 P and 13 C NMR analyses and crystallographic studies of 1, 2 and 3 demonstrate that all these compounds have similar structures and spectroscopic properties, which almost do not depend on aliphatic rings in the molecules. Heteroleptic copper(I) iodide complexes with phosphines mentioned above and 2,2 0 -bipyridine (bpy): [CuI(bpy) 3 ] (3P) were also synthesized. All complexes were characterized by 1 H, 31 P and 13 C NMR spectroscopy also. Molecular structures of 1PÁPhCH 3 and 3PÁ0.5Cu 2 I 2 (phen) 2 were determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Upon excitation at 470 nm, all complexes in the solid state exhibit red photoluminescence due to charge transfer transition. The luminescence of phen complexes is higher than the luminescence of bpy ones. The presented phosphines and copper(I) complexes were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus strains and Candida albicans. All the copper complexes exhibit significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus strains. The activity of 1,10-phenanthroline complexes is higher than 2,2 0 -bipyridine complexes.
The luminescent complexes of triphenylphosphine and two interesting aminomethylphosphines: P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(3))(3) and P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)O)(3) with copper(I) iodide and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp): [CuI(dmp)PPh(3)], [CuI(dmp)P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)NCH(3))(3)] and [CuI(phen)P(CH(2)N(CH(2)CH(2))(2)O)(3)] are presented in this work. These complexes were characterized in solution by means of NMR spectroscopy and their structures were crystallographically determined in the solid state. All complexes crystallize as the discrete dimers bound by π-stacking interactions between dmp rings. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) centre is pseudo-tetrahedral showing small flattening and large rocking distortions. The investigated compounds exhibit intense orange photoluminescence in the solid state (emission peaks at r.t.: λ(max) = 588-592 nm; τ = 1.7-2.2 and 6.4-10.0 μs; at 77 K: λ(max) = 605-612 nm; τ = 4.8-6.5 and 32-47 μs), which is several orders higher than the luminescence of the analogous complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Electronic and structural properties of the [CuI(dmp/phen)PR(3)] complexes were characterized using DFT methods to interpret their photophysics. On the basis of TDDFT calculations the broad CT bands observed in UV-Vis spectra are interpreted as the two mixed transitions from σ(CuI) bond with a small admixture of σ(CuP) bond to π* phen or dmp ligand: (MX,MPR(3))LCT, while the emissions most probably occur from two triplet states which are in thermal equilibrium.
Chalcogenide derivatives of three aminomethylphosphines: P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3 (1), P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3)3 (2) and P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3 (3) were prepared: oxides--OP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3 (4), OP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3)3 (5), OP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3 (6), sulfides--SP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3 (7), SP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3)3 (8), SP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3 (9) and selenides--SeP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3 (10), SeP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3)3 (11), SeP(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3 (12). The spectroscopic NMR analyses, DFT (B3LYP/6-31G**) calculations together with crystallographic studies of compounds 5, 6, 9 and 12 demonstrate that the structures and spectroscopic properties are strongly influenced by the chalcogen atom and not entirely contingent on aliphatic rings in the molecules. TEPs (Tolman's electronic parameters), estimated with DFT methods equal 2059.7 cm(-1) for 1, 2059.8 cm(-1) for 2 and 2061.2 cm(-1) for 3. These values are similar to TEPs estimated experimentally for other aminomethylphosphines. Phosphines 1, 2 and 3, despite very large Tolman cone angles show rather low influence of molecular geometry on their electronic properties: S4' (symmetric deformation coordinate) (59.8-64.8) and S4 (63.4-63.7) parameters are moderate. Suresh's steric effect (S(eff)) parameters for phosphines 1, 2 and 3 (2.70, 2.73 and 2.66, respectively) indicate minor electron-donating effect. Electronic effect (E(eff)) parameters (4.92, 5.21 and -0.40, respectively) can be easily modified by changing the substituents. 1J(SeP) coupling constants in the selenides are low (10: 707.5 11: 707.5 12: 709.8 Hz), but do not correlate with the TEP values in a way typical for aliphatic phosphines. The examined compounds do not show mutagenic properties and their potential toxicity is low, which is relevant in the context of their possible medical applications.
