Synthesis, characterization and photoinduced CO-release by manganese(i) complexes

Abstract

<p>Three new photoCORM, two with non two with nonbonding pyridine and one with benzyl group, were synthesised, and their CO-releasing properties evaluated for with regards to their elusive binding mode.</p>

Synthesis, spectroscopic, CO‐releasing ability, and anticancer activity studies of [Mn(CO)3(L–L)Br] complexes: Experimental and density functional theory studies

“…[20] Recently, few manganese(I) tricarbonyl complexes have shown controlled CO release in the presence of irradiation. [21][22][23][24] More recently, the CO-releasing ability of a number of organic compounds (α-diketones, flavones, quinolone, oxalates, boron carboxylates, and carbazoles) have also been explored, some of which showed controlled CO release to specific targets upon visible light irradiation. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] The anticancer activity of few manganese(I) tricarbonyl complexes containing nitrogen-based ligands are reported in the literature.…”

Investigation of the CO releasing ability of azachalcone bound Mn(I) tricarbonyl complexes and their antiproliferative properties

“…[26,27] Several literature reports cite the use of benzimidazole-, benzothiazole-, polypyridyl-, imino pyridine-, and pyrazole-based bidentate ligands that coordinated through the N donor atoms to form Mn(I) tricarbonyl complexes, which showed MLCT in 400-500 nm range. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Also, tazarotene and thioureabased ligands formed similar blue light activated complexes by coordinating through the N,C and N,S donor atoms, respectively. However, only few complexes containing the [Mn(CO) 3 Br] core have been reported that have MLCT in the 500-700 nm range (Figure 1).…”
