Abstract

Mono, bis and tris(substituted 2,2'-bipyridine) complexes of iron, ruthenium. osmium or vanadium are described wherein the bipyridine is substituted by at least one electron donor group. The donor group is a hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy group or a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group. Processes for the preparation of these complexes.

Description

The instant.invention relates to a new family of mono;
bis or tris(substituted 2,2'-bipyridine) iron, ruthenium, osmium or vanadium complexes, the bipyridine being substituted by at least one electron donor group. This invention also relates to methods for the preparation of these complexes.
Determination of the concentration of certain components and especially of glucose in biological fluids has been considerably improved by the use of amperometric sensors using an electrode coated with a mediator and with an enzyme specific to said component, for example glucose oxidase for the detection of glucose. These sensors thus make it possible to measure the transfer of electrons passing between the enzyme and the electrode by the intermediary of the mediator, this electron transfer being proportional to the amount~of component present in the sample of the biological fluid to be tested.
The quality of these sensors, i.e. their accuracy, the reproducibility of the results given by several sensors of the same series, their reliability and the speed of their response tirne largely depends upon the mediator used.

~Q~~r~~.~~~
Mediators known to date, for example from U5 patent 4,545,382 of Genetics International, include polyviologen, chloranil, fluoranil or ferrocene.
These mediators have, however, a certain number of disadvantages.
Because they-do not transfer the electrons between the enzyme and the electrode sufficiently quickly, the response time of the sensor is rather long. In addition, some of these mediators, such as ferrocene, are relatively volatile or unstable, particularly when exposed to light and the sensors have to be stored under rather strict lighting and temperature conditions. In addition some mediators, especially ferrocene, decompose in water by hydrolysis which is a disadvantage when the sensors are used in blood.
Finally, oxygen enters into competition with some of these mediators and the results of glucose concentration measurements vary according to the amount of oxygen present in the blood. This can be a disadvantage depending on whether venous or arterial blood is being examined.
It was consequently desirable to seek and prepare mediators that are fast, stable and do not have interference problems with oxygen.
This search for mediators has led..to the preparation,of a new family of mono, bis or tris(substituted 2,2'-bipyridine) complexes of iron, ruthenium, osmium or vanadium, the bipyridine being substituted by at least one electron donor group.
This new family of complexes is not only of theoretical interest, but also above all because of these good mediator properties and the many other practical applications which .it could have.
The invention will be better understood from a study of the following description of the family of complexes and of various embodiments of the processes for preparing these complexes.
The new family of mono, bis or tris(substituted 2,2'-bipyridine) complexes of a metal M has the following general formula (I) L~

The instant invention also provides processes for the preparation of the above-described complexes.
The invention relates in particular to a process for the preparation of a tris (ligand L) complex of a metal M which is iron, ruthenium, osmium or vanadium. The ligand L is a bidentate ligand which is 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bi.pyridine, ~.(~:~~~(~

4,4'- dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine or 4,4'-bis(N,N-ethylamino)2-2'- bipyridine.
This process generally comprises:
- reacting a soluble salt of the metal M with a substantially stoichiometric amount of a ligand A in the presence of solvents suitable for dissolving this ligand, and then in - refluxing this solution under a nitrogen atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature close to the boiling point of these solvents.
In the majority of cases, the ligand A is identical to the ligand L or is sufficiently similar thereto to transform into this ligand L during the reaction. The ligand A can, for example, be of the same type as the ligand L, but be differently substituted. This is the case in example 1, where one starts with a bipyridine disubstituted by two methoxy groups to obtain a bipyridine disubstituted by two hydroxy groups. In Example 1, as well as in Examples S and 11 described hereinabove 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine is used to obtain the complexes with 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine since this latter is not commercially available in view of the difficulties and costs of manufacture.
The nature of the soluble salt of ahe metal M varies as a function of the latter. Depending on whether the metal M
is iron, ruthenium, osmium or vanadium, the soluble salts are FeCl2, K20sC16, RuCl3 or VC13 respectively.

2~~~~~~

The invention primarily relates to a process for the preparation of a tris(4,4-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine) complex of a metal M which is iron, ruthenium, osmium or vanadium.
This process generally comprises:
- reacting a soluble salt of the metal M, M being as defined above, urith a substantially stoichiometric amount of 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine in the presence of ethylene glycol, and then - refluxing this solution under a nitrogen atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of between 190 and 200°C, preferably 195°C.
The soluble salts of the metal M are identical to those described above.
The choice of the solvent used (ethylene glycol) makes it possible to work at elevated temperatures (about 190 to 200°C) and to only cleave the bond between OC~i3 and the bipyridine without any other chernical changes occurring.
Once the OCH3 bond is cleaved, the OH groups are then able to form to yield a tris(4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine) complex of the metal M.
A specific example for obtaining one of these complexes is given below.

The solution is refluxed for at least 24 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature between about 190 arid 200°C, preferably 195°C. A brown colour appears. After leaving the solution to cool to room temperature it is concentrated to half its original volume. The product is precipitated as its trifluoromethanesulfonate form by adding trifluoromethane sulfonic acid to the ethylene glycol solution.
The complex obtained is filtered, washed with a mixture (1:10 vol/vol) of acetone and diethyl ether and then dried under a high vacuum.
Tris(4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine) osmium is obtained having the following physico-chemical properties:

- reacting a soluble salt of the metal M with a substantially stoichiometric amount of 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine in the presence of methanol, of DMF
(dimethylformamide) and/or water, and then - refluxing this solution under a nitrogen atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature between about 70 and 80°C.
The choice of the solvents used (methanol, DMF and/or water) is important because it makes it possible, unlike i.n Example 1, to work at relatively low temperatures (about 70 to 80°C) and thereby avoid cleavage of the bond between the OCH3 group and the bipyridine. In addition, these solvents make it possible to reduce the metal M from a + 3 oxidation state-to a + 2 state for ruthenium, from a + 4 state to a +
2 state for osmium and from a + 3 state to a + 2 state for vanadium. Iron does not change the oxidation state, being already in the + 2 oxidation state. Nonetheless it will be noted that for the vanadium it is necessary to use additional reagents to reach the desired 0 oxidation state A specific example for obtaining one of these complexes is given below.

0.100 g (0.21 mmol) of K20sC16 is dissolved in a mixture of 5 ml of water, 5 ml of methanol and 5 ml of DMF. 0.144 g (0.67 mmol) of 4,9'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine are added to this solution and the mixture is refluxed for at least 60 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature between about 70 and 80°C.
-A brown colour appears. After cooling to the roorn temperature the solution is filtered and the solvent is completely eliminated by rotary evaporation. A minimum of ethanol is then added to dissolve the product and the solution is then filtered to remove the insoluble KC1. The product is then precipitated in the form of the trifluoromethanesulfonate by addition of dilute trifluoromethanesulfonic acid. The complex is then filtered, washed with a 1:10 vol/vol mixture of acetone and diethylether and-then dried under a high vacuum.
A tris(4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine) osmium complex is then formed with the following physico-chemical properties:
