Synthesis, Spectroscopy, and Electrochemistry of (?-Diimine)M(CO)3Br, M = Mn, Re, Complexes: Ligands Isoelectronic to Bipyridyl Show Differences in CO2 Reduction.


ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterization of new Mn(I)- and Re(I)-centered organometallic complexes fashioned with 1,4-diazabutadiene (DAB) ligands is reported. Ten compounds of the type fac-(?-diimine)M(CO)3Br (M = Mn, Re) were obtained in moderate to excellent yield (35-80%) and high purity from the coordination of the five ligands with M(CO)5Br in refluxing ethanol. Despite the electronic similarity of DAB to 2,2'-bipyridyl, the complexes described herein were poor mediators of electrochemical CO2 conversion to CO, but provide insight into the role of redox-active ligands in catalysis. Additional characterization of the one-electron reduced rhenium compounds, relevant intermediates in CO2 reduction, by EPR and single-crystal X-ray analysis is described.
