H-H and Si-H bond addition to Fe?NNR2 intermediates derived from N2.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterization of Fe-diphosphineborane complexes are described in the context of N2 functionalization chemistry. Iron aminoimides can be generated at room temperature under 1 atm N2 and are shown to react with E-H bonds from PhSiH3 and H2. The resulting products derive from delivery of the E fragment to N? and the H atom to B. The flexibility and lability of the Fe-BPh interactions in these complexes engender this reactivity.

The synthesis and characterization of Fe-diphosphineborane complexes are described in the context of N2 functionalization chemistry. Iron aminoimides can be generated at room temperature under 1 atm N2 and are shown to react with E-H bonds from PhSiH3 and H2. The resulting products derive from delivery of the E fragment to Nα and the H atom to B. The flexibility and lability of the Fe-BPh interactions in these complexes engender this reactivity. ...[more]

N-H Bond Dissociation Enthalpies and Facile H Atom Transfers for Early Intermediates of Fe-N2 and Fe-CN Reductions.

Project description:Fe-mediated biological nitrogen fixation is thought to proceed via either a sequence of proton and electron transfer steps, concerted H atom transfer steps, or some combination thereof. Regardless of the specifics and whether the intimate mechanism for N2-to-NH3 conversion involves a distal pathway, an alternating pathway, or some hybrid of these limiting scenarios, Fe-NxHy intermediates are implicated that feature reactive N-H bonds. Thermodynamic knowledge of the N-H bond strengths of such species is scant, and is especially difficult to obtain for the most reactive early stage candidate intermediates (e.g., Fe-N?NH, Fe?N-NH2, Fe-NH?NH). Such knowledge is essential to considering various mechanistic hypotheses for biological (and synthetic) nitrogen fixation and to the rational design of improved synthetic N2 fixation catalysts. We recently reported several reactive complexes derived from the direct protonation of Fe-N2 and Fe-CN species at the terminal N atom (e.g., Fe?N-NH2, Fe-C?NH, Fe?C-NH2). These same Fe-N2 and Fe-CN systems are functionally active for N2-to-NH3 and CN-to-CH4/NH3 conversion, respectively, when subjected to protons and electrons, and hence provide an excellent opportunity for obtaining meaningful N-H bond strength data. We report here a combined synthetic, structural, and spectroscopic/analytic study to estimate the N-H bond strengths of several species of interest. We assess the reactivity profiles of species featuring reactive N-H bonds and estimate their homolytic N-H bond enthalpies (BDEN-H) via redox and acidity titrations. Very low N-H bond dissociation enthalpies, ranging from 65 (Fe-C?NH) to ?37 kcal/mol (Fe-N?NH), are determined. The collective data presented herein provide insight into the facile reactivity profiles of early stage protonated Fe-N2 and Fe-CN species.

Electrophile-promoted Fe-to-N2 hydride migration in highly reduced Fe(N2)(H) complexes.

Project description:One of the emerging challenges associated with developing robust synthetic nitrogen fixation catalysts is the competitive formation of hydride species that can play a role in catalyst deactivation or lead to undesired hydrogen evolution reactivity (HER). It is hence desirable to devise synthetic systems where metal hydrides can migrate directly to coordinated N2 in reductive N-H bond-forming steps, thereby enabling productive incorporation into desired reduced N2-products. Relevant examples of this type of reactivity in synthetic model systems are limited. In this manuscript we describe the migration of an iron hydride (Fe-H) to N? of a disilylhydrazido(2-) ligand (Fe[double bond, length as m-dash]NNR2) derived from N2via double-silylation in a preceding step. This is an uncommon reactivity pattern in general; well-characterized examples of hydride/alkyl migrations to metal heteroatom bonds (e.g., (R)M[double bond, length as m-dash]NR' ? M-N(R)R') are very rare. Mechanistic data establish the Fe-to-N? hydride migration to be intramolecular. The resulting disilylhydrazido(1-) intermediate can be isolated by trapping with CN t Bu, and the disilylhydrazine product can then be liberated upon treatment with an additional acid equivalent, demonstrating the net incorporation of an Fe-H equivalent into an N-fixed product.

Conversion of Fe-NH2 to Fe-N2 with release of NH3.

Project description:Tris(phosphine)borane ligated Fe(I) centers featuring N(2)H(4), NH(3), NH(2), and OH ligands are described. Conversion of Fe-NH(2) to Fe-NH(3)(+) by the addition of acid, and subsequent reductive release of NH(3) to generate Fe-N(2), is demonstrated. This sequence models the final steps of proposed Fe-mediated nitrogen fixation pathways. The five-coordinate trigonal bipyramidal complexes described are unusual in that they adopt S = 3/2 ground states and are prepared from a four-coordinate, S = 3/2 trigonal pyramidal precursor.

Fe-mediated HER vs N2RR: Exploring Factors that Contribute to Selectivity in P3 EFe(N2) (E = B, Si, C) Catalyst Model Systems.

Project description:Mitigation of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a key challenge in selective small molecule reduction catalysis. This is especially true of catalytic nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction reactions (N2RR and CO2RR, respectively) using H+/e- currency. Here we explore, via DFT calculations, three iron model systems, P3 EFe (E = B, Si, C), known to mediate both N2RR and HER, but with different selectivity depending on the identity of the auxiliary ligand. It is suggested that the respective efficiencies of these systems for N2RR trend with the predicted N-H bonds strengths of two putative hydrazido intermediates of the proposed catalytic cycle, P3 EFe(NNH2)+ and P3 EFe(NNH2). Further, a mechanism is presented for undesired HER consistent with DFT studies, and previously reported experimental data, for these systems; bimolecular proton-coupled-electron-transfer (PCET) from intermediates with weak N-H bonds is posited as an important source of H2' instead of more traditional scenarios that proceed via metal hydride intermediates and proton transfer/electron transfer (PT/ET) pathways. Wiberg bond indices provide additional insight into key factors related to the degree of stabilization of P3 EFe(NNH2) species, factors that trend with overall product selectivity.

Alkali-Controlled C-H Cleavage or N-C Bond Formation by N2-Derived Iron Nitrides and Imides.

Project description:Formation of N-H and N-C bonds from functionalization of N2 is a potential route to utilization of this abundant resource. One of the key challenges is to make the products of N2 activation reactive enough to undergo further reactions under mild conditions. This paper explores the strategy of "alkali control," where the presence of an alkali metal cation enables the reduction of N2 under mild conditions, and then chelation of the alkali metal cation uncovers a highly reactive species that can break benzylic C-H bonds to give new N-H and Fe-C bonds. The ability to "turn on" this C-H activation pathway with 18-crown-6 is demonstrated with three different N2 reduction products of N2 cleavage in an iron-potassium system. The alkali control strategy can also turn on an intermolecular reaction of an N2-derived nitride with methyl tosylate that gives a new N-C bond. Since the transient K(+)-free intermediate reacts with this electrophile but not with the weak C-H bonds in 1,4-cyclohexadiene, it is proposed that the C-H cleavage occurs by a deprotonation mechanism. The combined results demonstrate that a K(+) ion can mask the latent nucleophilicity of N2-derived nitride and imide ligands within a trimetallic iron system and points a way toward control over N2 functionalization.

Diiron bridged-thiolate complexes that bind N2 at the Fe(II)Fe(II), Fe(II)Fe(I), and Fe(I)Fe(I) redox states.

Project description:All known nitrogenase cofactors are rich in both sulfur and iron and are presumed capable of binding and reducing N2. Nonetheless, synthetic examples of transition metal model complexes that bind N2 and also feature sulfur donor ligands remain scarce. We report herein an unusual series of low-valent diiron complexes featuring thiolate and dinitrogen ligands. A new binucleating ligand scaffold is introduced that supports an Fe(?-SAr)Fe diiron subunit that coordinates dinitrogen (N2-Fe(?-SAr)Fe-N2) across at least three oxidation states (Fe(II)Fe(II), Fe(II)Fe(I), and Fe(I)Fe(I)). The (N2-Fe(?-SAr)Fe-N2) system undergoes reduction of the bound N2 to produce NH3 (?50% yield) and can efficiently catalyze the disproportionation of N2H4 to NH3 and N2. The present scaffold also supports dinitrogen binding concomitant with hydride as a co-ligand. Synthetic model complexes of these types are desirable to ultimately constrain hypotheses regarding Fe-mediated nitrogen fixation in synthetic and biological systems.

Sound velocities of Fe and Fe-Si alloy in the Earth's core.

Project description:Compressional wave velocity-density (V(P)--?) relations of candidate Fe alloys at relevant pressure-temperature conditions of the Earth's core are critically needed to evaluate the composition, seismic signatures, and geodynamics of the planet's remotest region. Specifically, comparison between seismic V(P)--? profiles of the core and candidate Fe alloys provides first-order information on the amount and type of potential light elements--including H, C, O, Si, and/or S-needed to compensate the density deficit of the core. To address this issue, here we have surveyed and analyzed the literature results in conjunction with newly measured V(P)--? results of hexagonal closest-packed (hcp) Fe and hcp-Fe(0.85)Si(0.15) alloy using in situ high-energy resolution inelastic X-ray scattering and X-ray diffraction. The nature of the Fe-Si alloy where Si is readily soluble in Fe represents an ideal solid-solution case to better understand the light-element alloying effects. Our results show that high temperature significantly decreases the V(P) of hcp-Fe at high pressures, and the Fe-Si alloy exhibits similar high-pressure V(P)--? behavior to hcp-Fe via a constant density offset. These V(P)--? data at a given temperature can be better described by an empirical power-law function with a concave behavior at higher densities than with a linear approximation. Our new datasets, together with literature results, allow us to build new V(P)--? models of Fe alloys in order to determine the chemical composition of the core. Our models show that the V(P)--? profile of Fe with 8 wt % Si at 6,000 K matches well with the Preliminary Reference Earth Model of the inner core.

Catalytic reduction of N2 to NH3 by an Fe-N2 complex featuring a C-atom anchor.

Project description:While recent spectroscopic studies have established the presence of an interstitial carbon atom at the center of the iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco) of MoFe-nitrogenase, its role is unknown. We have pursued Fe-N2 model chemistry to explore a hypothesis whereby this C-atom (previously denoted as a light X-atom) may provide a flexible trans interaction with an Fe center to expose an Fe-N2 binding site. In this context, we now report on Fe complexes of a new tris(phosphino)alkyl (CP(iPr)3) ligand featuring an axial carbon donor. It is established that the iron center in this scaffold binds dinitrogen trans to the C(alkyl)-atom anchor in three distinct and structurally characterized oxidation states. Fe-C(alkyl) lengthening is observed upon reduction, reflective of significant ionic character in the Fe-C(alkyl) interaction. The anionic (CP(iPr)3)FeN2(-) species can be functionalized by a silyl electrophile to generate (CP(iPr)3)Fe-N2SiR3. (CP(iPr)3)FeN2(-) also functions as a modest catalyst for the reduction of N2 to NH3 when supplied with electrons and protons at -78 °C under 1 atm N2 (4.6 equiv NH3/Fe).

Characterization of Microstructures and Tensile Properties of Recycled Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn Alloys with Individual and Combined Addition of Titanium and Cerium.

Project description:Individual and combined addition of Ti and Ce on the recycled Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn alloy was conducted. The microstructures and tensile properties of these fabricated alloys were investigated. In the case of Ti or Ce which was individually added, the added amount was ranging from 0.03?wt.% to 0.09?wt.%. The combined addition of Ti and Ce was set at the ratios of 1?:?1, 1?:?3, and 3?:?1 with a total amount of 0.12?wt.%. Microstructures and phases of these alloys were investigated by using an optical microscope, X-ray diffraction testing, and SEM coupled with EDS. The morphologies of these alloys were quantified by analyzing the SDAS value, length of secondary phases, and phases' distribution uniformity. Tensile testing was carried out for understanding the strengthen effect of the modification process. Results show that the addition of Ce was favorable to the strength and % elongation because the coarse needle-like phase and the polyhedral phase were effectively refined. Their SDAS values and distribution factor were remarkably declined with the increase of the Ce level. The Ti addition could also refine the secondary phases and SDAS values. But its effect was not as prominent as the addition of Ce. Combined addition of Ti and Ce elements at the ratio of 1?:?3 resulted in the samples reaching maximum comprehensive tensile properties. In this case, the short needle-like phase was uniformly distributed in the microstructure. Few polyhedral phases could be found in the Al-Si-Cu-Fe-Mn matrix. The strengthening of these fabricated materials was due to the grain refinement for ?-Al and modification for coarse secondary phases. In addition, distribution uniformity of secondary phases was also changed by their modification effects.
