Abstract
The aim of the present project proposal is the synthesis, structural characterization and investigation of the optical properties (luminescence) of some new 4-arylidene-5(4H)- imidazolones, -oxazolones, -thiazolones, -selenazolones and their late d metal complexes (Ru, Ir, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au). The biological (antioxidant and antibacterial) properties of selected new compounds will be also investigated. Our studies envisage appropriate methods for controlling the molecular structure of the respective species and to promote a fine tuning of the metal-ligand interactions by changing the electronic environment about the chalcogen and/or the metal centre. We intend to find solutions for optimizing the conditions for a better molecular structure / biological activity relation. All the new compounds will be investigated by spectroscopic methods: multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, UV-VIS spectroscopy and luminescent measurements. The proposed research activities will be focused on:

Results 2020-2022
New diorganochalcogen(II) and diorganodichalcogen(I) species containing oxazolone, thiazolone and imidazolone fragments incorporated to their skeleton were synthetized and their ability to coordinate to silver(I) and gold(I) salts was study. The electron donor properties of all species were investigated by UV-Vis absorption in solution, strong absorption bands with large extension coefficients observed were attributed to the intra-ligand charge transfer (ICT) in all species and the redox GPx-like activity of heteroleptic diorganoselenides(II) was investigated. Homoleptic and heteroleptic diorganomercury(II) species containing oxazolone fragments were synthetised and were used in transmetalation reactions for the preparation of Au(III) and Ru(II) species.
For the identification and characterization of the compounds multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, 19F{1H}, 31P{1H}, 77Se{1H}, when appropriate) spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, molar conductivities measurements, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction were used.
Summary of the project results November 2020 - October 2022
