Title: Polar Ferrocene Phosphines with Nitrogen-Containing Linkers Author: RNDr. Michal Navrátil Supervisor: prof. RNDr. Petr Štěpnička, Ph.D., DSc. Abstract: This Ph.D. thesis describes three series of bridged ferrocene phosphines derived from aminoferrocene. The first series is comprised of homoannular α- and β-aminophosphines 1-3. The α-aminobis(phosphine) 1 was synthesized from aminoferrocene and (diphenylphosphino)- methanol via phospha-Mannich reaction in a 87% yield. This product was formed regardless of the reaction stoichiometry. Later, ligand 1 was utilized as a ligand for group 10 and 11 metal ions. With group 10 metal precursors, the ligand afforded five different square-planar complexes [MX2(1-κP)] (M/X = Ni/Cl, Pd/Cl, Pd/Br, Pd/I, Pt/Cl). In contrast, the complexes of group 11 metals showed varied geometry around the metal centre, ranging from a linear arrangement in [Au2Cl2(1-κP)], cyclic structure in [Au2(1-κP)2][SbF6]2 and tetrahedral arrangement in [M(1-κP)2][X] (M/X = Cu/BF4; Ag/SbF6; Au/SbF6). The cyclic voltammetry measurements suggested that Fe(II) oxidation is the first oxidation process. The attribution was corroborated by DFT calculations of 1 and [PdCl2(1-κP)]. To obtain the analogous monophosphine 2, aminoferrocene was N-methylated prior to the phospha-Mannich reaction. Subsequent...

Synthesis and characterization of bidentate P,N-donor ferrocene ligand
Rezazgui, David ; Schulz, Jiří (advisor) ; Hulla, Martin (referee)
Title: Synthesis and characterization of bidentate P,N-donor ferrocene ligand Author: Bc. David Rezazgui Department: Department of Inorganic chemistry Supervisor: RNDr. Jiří Schulz, Ph.D. The main goal of this thesis was the preparation and characterization of ferrocene ligand 4-[1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocen-1-yl]morpholine (compound 3). Compared to structurally similar compounds, compound 3 offers greater geometrical flexibility which might have a positive effect in some applications, for example in catalysis by transition metal complexes. Two new compounds were synthesized along the synthetic route of phosphinoamine 3, the protected amine 1 and morpholine derivate 2. Selenide 4 was prepared in order to determine the basicity of compound 3 via the direct scalar interaction of 77 Se with 31 P. The synthesis comprised phosphinylation of 1,1'-dibromoferrocene, protection of the obtained 1-bromo-1'- (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene with sulfur, azidation and immediate reduction to protected amine 1. Morpholine derivate 2 was subsequently synthesized by cyclization reaction with bis(2-chloroethyl)ether. Phosphinoamine 3 was obtained by deprotection of compound 2 with Raney nickel. Finally, selenide 4 was obtained by the reaction of 3 with KSeCN. All newly prepared compounds were analyzed by NMR and transmission...

Polar phosphinoferrocene ligands with hydrocarbyl bridges
Zábranský, Martin ; Štěpnička, Petr (advisor) ; Dostál, Libor (referee) ; Šebesta, Radovan (referee)
A new synthetic route towards methylene-spaced hybrid phosphinoferrocene ligands was developed, making use of a phosphinoferrocene betaine 3-(N,N,N-{[1'-(diphenylphosphino)- ferrocenyl]methyl}dimethylammonium)propane-1-sulfonate (2), that is readily accessible from 1-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocene (XIX) via treatment with 1,3-propanesultone. The betaine 2 was reacted with sodium alkylsulfinates (alkyl = methyl, phenyl, 4-tolyl) to afford the corresponding sulfones 4. The coordination chemistry of [1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl]methyl(methyl)sulfone (4a) was investigated in its zinc(II) complexes. Surprisingly, only insoluble mixed-metal coordination polymers of the general formula [MZnX3(4a)(MeOH)]n (M/X = Na/Br, K/Br, Na/I) and six-centre complex [Li2Zn2Br6(4a)2(MeOH)4(H2O)] could be obtained. Two isomeric homologues of 1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (Hdpf, II), viz. 1'-(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenylacetic acid (HIIa) and 1'- [(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ferrocene-1-carboxylic acid (HIIb), were prepared and their coordination preferences were assessed in their palladium(II) complexes. The palladium(II) complexes were prepared by reacting various (acetylacetonate)palladium(II) precursors with these acids with concomitant release of acetylacetone....

Krystalografický studium biotechnologicky atraktivních haloalkan dehalogenáz DpcA a DmxA
DOLEŽELOVÁ, Katsiaryna
Since 1991, when the first haloalkane dehalogenase (HLD) from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 was described, nearly 20 HLDs have been characterized biochemically and fourteen HLDs were analysed structurally. These enzymes belong to alpha/beta-hydrolases and, owing to their ability to bring about the hydrolytic conversion of toxic halogenated compounds, are a source of broad biotechnological applications. DpcA from Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5 and DmxA from Marinobacter sp. ELB17 are among them. Although their overall structures are quite similar to other HLD members, they possess several unique properties. Information on their 3D structure may significantly contribute to the understanding of protein function. DpcA and DmxA structures will allow us to gain insights into structural determinants of specificity and stability. This thesis aims to elucidate the tertiary and quaternary structures of these enzymes using of X-ray crystallography.

Structural characterization of selected random protein sequences with high disorder content
Ptáčková, Barbora ; Hlouchová, Klára (advisor) ; Šilhán, Jan (referee)
An infinitesimal fraction of the practically infinite sequence space has achieved enormous functional diversity of proteins during evolution. Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) which lack a fully defined three-dimensional structure are the most likely precursors to today's proteins because of their flexible conformation and functional diversity. But how have these proteins evolved into often rigid and highly specialized protein structures? This evolutionary trajectory has the greatest support in the theory of induced fold whereby the development of the structure was mediated by the interaction and coevolution of primordial unstructured proteins with different cofactors or RNA molecules. Although some random sequences from the sequence space which is not used by nature are also able to form folded proteins the more suitable candidates for evolution of structure and function appear to be random sequences with a high content of disordered which have low aggregation propensity. The selected random protein sequences with high disorder content have been structurally characterized in this work for their further use in evolutionary studies. Three artificial proteins were selected from a random-sequence library based on previous study in our laboratory. In the present work they were purified and...
