ABSTRACT
Luminescent cuprous complexes are of great importance among coordination compounds due to their relative abundance, low cost and ability to display excellent luminescence. The title heteroleptic cuprous polymer solvate, catena-poly[[[(9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphane)-κ2P,P'](µ-pyridine-3-carbonitrile-κ2N1:N3)copper(I)] hexafluorophosphate dichloromethane trisolvate], {[Cu(C6H4N2)(C39H32OP2)]PF6·3CH2Cl2}n, conventionally abbreviated as {[Cu(3-PyCN)(Xantphos)]PF6·3CH2Cl2}n, where Xantphos and 3-PyCN represent (9,9-dimethyl-9H-xanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphane) and pyridine-3-carbonitrile, respectively, has been described. In this polymer solvate, the asymmetric unit consists of three dichloromethane solvent molecules, a hexafluorophosphate anion and a polymeric heteroleptic cuprous complex cation, in which the cuprous centre is in a CuP2N2 tetrahedral coordination and is coordinated by two P atoms from the Xantphos ligand and two N atoms from two 3-PyCN ligands (the pyridyl and cyano N atoms). It is through the connection of the µ2-bridging 3-PyCN ligand that these cuprous centres are linked into a one-dimensional helical chain structure. The chains are further assembled through C-H...π interactions to form a supramolecular metal-organic framework containing solvent-accessible channels. The UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence properties of this heteroleptic cuprous polymer have been studied on as-synthesized samples. Its luminescence emission should mainly originate from the metal-to-ligand charge transfer excited state.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Human neutrophil antigen 3 (HNA-3) is encoded by the SLC44A2 gene. Antibodies against HNAs can cause severe, often fatal, transfusion reactions, known as transfusion-related acute lung injury, and neonatal neutropenia. We explored the 2 common HNA-3 variants in 9 ethnic populations residing in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces of China as compared to the Han population. METHODS: We genotyped for SLC44A2 (rs2288904) by polymerase chain reaction sequence-based typing among blood donors, for a total of 2206 individuals in Yunnan and 376 in Sichuan. RESULTS: The SLC44A2*02 allele (HNA-3b antigen) frequency varied between 0.24 and 0.33 for all 9 ethnic populations in Yunnan, including Zhuang, Derung, Hani, Lisu, Bai, Miao, Dai, Naxi, and Yi. Specifically, the Yi ethnicity did not present an unusually great SLC44A2*02 frequency at any of the 4 locations examined in Yunnan. Except of the Yi ethnicity in Sichuan (0.40), the Han ethnicity, as the majority population group, had the greatest SLC44A2*02 frequency with 0.39 in Yunnan and 0.35 in Sichuan. CONCLUSION: The ethnic populations in Southwest China are not at an increased risk for anti-HNA3a compared to the Han population, with the possible exception of Yi in Sichuan. Our data, however, corroborated the known high prevalence of SLC44A2*02 in Han populations. Hence, the Han populations in Yunnan, Sichuan and elsewhere in China are at a comparatively great risk for developing HNA-3a antibodies.
