The condensation of aryl boronic acids with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine gives boronates, which self-assemble to form tetrameric macrocycles as evidenced by X-ray crystallographic analyses.

The reaction of half-sandwich complexes of ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium with amino-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands in aqueous solution gives monomeric O,O'-chelate complexes. Upon addition of base, the complexes assemble to form trimeric metallamacrocycles, as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analyses. The macrocycles are able to act as highly selective receptors for lithium ions. The binding constants depend on the nature of the half-sandwich complex. the ligand, and the pH. With a commercially available (cymene)Ru complex, a receptor with a Li-divided by binding Constant of K-a = 5.8 (+/-1.0) x 10(4) M-1 and a Li-divided by-Na+ selectivity of 10 000:1 can be obtained. The fact that the assembly process of the receptor is pH-dependent can be used to detect the presence of lithium ions by a pH measurement. Furthermore, it is possible to transduce the binding of Li-divided by into a change of color by means of a chemical reaction with FeCl3. This allows the detection of Li-divided by in the pharmacologically relevant concentration range of 0.5-1.5 mM by the "naked eye".

Organometallic half-sandwich complexes based on ruthenium with aminomethyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands exist in aqueous solution as monomeric O,O'-chelate complexes or trimeric metallamacrocycles depending upon the pH. We hypothesized that administration of the compounds as stable trimers, which subsequently convert to active monomers at the reduced pH of the cancer environment, could facilitate their delivery to cancer cells without undergoing deactivation. Thus, the compounds were evaluated against cancer and fibroblast cell lines in vitro. A series of rhodium complexes, which exist mainly as monomers at neutral pH, were also studied for comparative purposes. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
1H and 13C NMR spectral studies of some Mannich bases. Revised structures for the mono-substituted products from 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone

H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts and J(HH) and J(CH) coupling constants are reported for a series of mono-Mannich bases derived from 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone. These compounds should be regarded as the 4-isomers rather than the 6-isomers proposed previously.
