Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a uranium(VI) carbene imido oxo complex.

ABSTRACT: We report the uranium(VI) carbene imido oxo complex [U(BIPM(TMS))(NMes)(O)(DMAP)2] (5, BIPM(TMS) = C(PPh2 NSiMe3)2; Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; DMAP = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine) which exhibits the unprecedented arrangement of three formal multiply bonded ligands to one metal center where the coordinated heteroatoms derive from different element groups. This complex was prepared by incorporation of carbene, imido, and then oxo groups at the uranium center by salt elimination, protonolysis, and two-electron oxidation, respectively. The oxo and imido groups adopt axial positions in a T-shaped motif with respect to the carbene, which is consistent with an inverse trans-influence. Complex 5 reacts with tert-butylisocyanate at the imido rather than carbene group to afford the uranyl(VI) carbene complex [U(BIPM(TMS))(O)2(DMAP)2] (6).

Synthesis, structure, and reactivity of uranium(vi) nitrides.

Project description:Uranium nitride compounds are important molecular analogues of uranium nitride materials such as UN and UN2 which are effective catalysts in the Haber-Bosch synthesis of ammonia, but the synthesis of molecular nitrides remains a challenge and studies of the reactivity and of the nature of the bonding are poorly developed. Here we report the synthesis of the first nitride bridged uranium complexes containing U(vi) and provide a unique comparison of reactivity and bonding in U(vi)/U(vi), U(vi)/U(v) and U(v)/U(v) systems. Oxidation of the U(v)/U(v) bis-nitride [K2{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3(μ-N)}2], 1, with mild oxidants yields the U(v)/U(vi) complexes [K{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3(μ-N)}2], 2 and [K2{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3}2(μ-N)2(μ-I)], 3 while oxidation with a stronger oxidant ("magic blue") yields the U(vi)/U(vi) complex [{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3}2(μ-N)2(μ-thf)], 4. The three complexes show very different stability and reactivity, with N2 release observed for complex 4. Complex 2 undergoes hydrogenolysis to yield imido bridged [K2{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3(μ-NH)}2], 6 and rare amido bridged U(iv)/U(iv) complexes [{U(OSi(O t Bu)3)3}2(μ-NH2)2(μ-thf)], 7 while no hydrogenolysis could be observed for 4. Both complexes 2 and 4 react with H+ to yield quantitatively NH4Cl, but only complex 2 reacts with CO and H2. Differences in reactivity can be related to significant differences in the U-N bonding. Computational studies show a delocalised bond across the U-N-U for 1 and 2, but an asymmetric bonding scheme is found for the U(vi)/U(vi) complex 4 which shows a U-N σ orbital well localised to U[triple bond, length as m-dash]N and π orbitals which partially delocalise to form the U-N single bond with the other uranium.

Synthesis and characterization of an f-block terminal parent imido [U?NH] complex: a masked uranium(IV) nitride.

Project description:Deprotonation of [U(Tren(TIPS))(NH2)] (1) [Tren(TIPS) = N(CH2CH2NSiPr(i)3)3] with organoalkali metal reagents MR (M = Li, R = Bu(t); M = Na-Cs, R = CH2C6H5) afforded the imido-bridged dimers [{U(Tren(TIPS))(?-N[H]M)}2] [M = Li-Cs (2a-e)]. Treatment of 2c (M = K) with 2 equiv of 15-crown-5 ether (15C5) afforded the uranium terminal parent imido complex [U(Tren(TIPS))(NH)][K(15C5)2] (3c), which can also be viewed as a masked uranium(IV) nitride. The uranium-imido linkage was found to be essentially linear, and theoretical calculations suggested ?(2)?(4) polarized U-N multiple bonding. Attempts to oxidize 3c to afford the neutral uranium terminal parent imido complex [U(Tren(TIPS))(NH)] (4) resulted in spontaneous disproportionation to give 1 and the uranium-nitride complex [U(Tren(TIPS))(N)] (5); this reaction is a new way to prepare the terminal uranium-nitride linkage and was calculated to be exothermic by -3.25 kcal mol(-1).

Synthesis and reactivity of a tris(carbene) zinc chloride complex.

Project description:The [PhB(tBuIm)3]1- ligand has gained increased attention since it was first reported in 2006 due to its ability to stabilize highly reactive first row transition metal complexes. In this work, we investigate the coordination chemistry of this ligand with redox-inert zinc to understand how a zinc metal center behaves in such a strong coordinating environment. The PhB(tBuIm)3ZnCl (1) complex can be formed via deprotonation of [PhB(tBuIm)3][OTf]2 followed by the addition of ZnCl2. Salt metathesis reaction with nucleophilic n-BuLi yields the highly carbon-rich zinc coordination complex PhB(tBuIm)3ZnBu (2) with three carbene atom donors and one carbanion donor. In contrast, reaction of complex 1 with a less nucleophilic polysulfide reagent, [K.18-C-6]2[S4], leads to the formation of a tetrahedral zinc tetrasulfido complex via protonation of one carbene donor to form PhB(tBuIm)2(tBuImH)Zn(κ2-S4) (3).

Reversible N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Induced α-H Abstraction in Tungsten(VI) Imido Dialkyl Dialkoxide Complexes.

Project description:The first reversible N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) induced α-H abstraction in tungsten(VI) imido-dialkyl dialkoxide complexes is reported. Treatment of W(NAr)(CH2 Ph)2 (OtBu)2 (Ar=2,6-dichlorophenyl, 2,6-dimethylphenyl, 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with different NHCs leads to the formation of complexes of the type W(NAr)(CHPh)(NHC)(CH2 Ph)(OtBu) in excellent isolated yields of up to 96 %. The highly unusual release of the tert-butoxide ligand as tBuOH in the course of the reaction was observed. The formed alkylidene complexes and tBuOH are in an equilibrium with the NHC and the dialkyl complexes. Reaction kinetics were monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. A correlation between the steric and electronic properties of the NHC and the reaction rates was observed. Kinetics of a deuterium-labeled complex in comparison to its non-deuterated counterpart revealed the presence of a strong primary kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 4.2, indicating that α-H abstraction is the rate-determining step (RDS) of the reaction.

A Manganese(V)-Oxo Tetraamido Macrocyclic Ligand (TAML) Cation Radical Complex: Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity Studies.

Project description:A mononuclear manganese(V)-oxo complex with tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (TAML), [MnV (O)(TAML)]- (1), is a sluggish oxidant in oxidation reactions. Herein, a mononuclear manganese(V)-oxo TAML cation radical complex, [MnV (O)(TAML+. )] (2), is reported. It was synthesized by reacting [MnIII (TAML)]- with 3.0 equivalents of [RuIII (bpy)3 ]3+ or upon addition of one-electron oxidant to 1 and then characterized thoroughly with various spectroscopic techniques along with DFT calculations. Although 1 is a sluggish oxidant, 2 is a strong oxidant capable of activating C-H bonds of hydrocarbons (i.e., hydrogen atom transfer reaction) and transferring its oxygen atom to thioanisoles and olefins (i.e., oxygen atom transfer reaction).

Synthesis and reactivity of a mononuclear non-haem cobalt(IV)-oxo complex.

Project description:Terminal cobalt(IV)-oxo (CoIV-O) species have been implicated as key intermediates in various cobalt-mediated oxidation reactions. Herein we report the photocatalytic generation of a mononuclear non-haem [(13-TMC)CoIV(O)]2+ (2) by irradiating [CoII(13-TMC)(CF3SO3)]+ (1) in the presence of [RuII(bpy)3]2+, Na2S2O8, and water as an oxygen source. The intermediate 2 was also obtained by reacting 1 with an artificial oxidant (that is, iodosylbenzene) and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. In particular, the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 reveals a diatomic Co-O vibration band at 770 cm-1, which provides the conclusive evidence for the presence of a terminal Co-O bond. In reactivity studies, 2 was shown to be a competent oxidant in an intermetal oxygen atom transfer, C-H bond activation and olefin epoxidation reactions. The present results lend strong credence to the intermediacy of CoIV-O species in cobalt-catalysed oxidation of organic substrates as well as in the catalytic oxidation of water that evolves molecular oxygen.

A Two-Coordinate Iron(II) Imido Complex with NHC Ligation: Synthesis, Characterization, and Its Diversified Reactivity of Nitrene Transfer and C-H Bond Activation.

Project description:Iron terminal imido species are typically implicated as reaction intermediates in iron-catalyzed transformations. While a large body of work has been devoted to mid- and high-valent iron imidos, to date the chemistry of iron(II) imidos has remained largely unexplored due to the difficulty in accessing them. Herein, we present a study on the two-coordinate iron(II) imido complex [(IPr)Fe(NArTrip)] (3; IPr = 1,3-bis(2',6'-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; ArTrip = 2,6-bis(2',4',6'-triisopropylphenyl)phenyl) prepared from the reaction of an iron(0) complex with the bulky azide ArTripN3. Spectroscopic investigations in combination with DFT calculations established a high-spin S = 2 ground spin state for 3, consistent with its long Fe-N multiple bond of 1.715(2) Å revealed by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 3 exhibits unusual activity of nitrene transfer and C-H bond activation in comparison to the reported iron imido complexes. Specifically, the reactions of 3 with CH2═CHArCF3, an electron-deficient alkene, and CO, a strong π acid, readily afford nitrene transfer products, ArCF3CH═CHNHArTrip and ArTripNCO, respectively, yet no similar reaction occurs when 3 is treated with electron-rich alkenes and PMe3. Moreover, 3 is inert toward the weak C(sp3)-H bonds in 1,4-cyclohexadiene, THF, and toluene, whereas it can cleave the stronger C(sp)-H bond in p-trifluoromethylphenylacetylene to form an iron(II) amido alkynyl complex. Interestingly, intramolecular C(sp3)-H bond functionalization was observed by adding ( p-Tol)2CN2 to 3. The unique reactivity of 3 is attributed to its low-coordinate nature and the high negative charge population on the imido N atom, which render its iron-imido unit nucleophilic in nature.

Cationic Group VI Metal Imido Alkylidene N-Heterocyclic Carbene Nitrile Complexes: Bench-Stable, Functional-Group-Tolerant Olefin Metathesis Catalysts.

Project description:Despite their excellent selectivities and activities, Mo-and W-based catalysts for olefin metathesis have not gained the same widespread use as Ru-based systems, mainly due to their inherent air sensitivity. Herein, we describe the synthesis of air-stable cationic-at-metal molybdenum and tungsten imido alkylidene NHC nitrile complexes. They catalyze olefin metathesis reactions of substrates containing functional groups such as (thio-) esters, (thio-) ethers and alcohols without the need for prior activation, for example, by a Lewis acid. The presence of a nitrile ligand was found to be essential for their stability towards air, while no decrease in activity and productivity could be observed upon coordination of a nitrile. Variations of the imido and anionic ligand revealed that alkoxide complexes with electron-withdrawing imido ligands offer the highest reactivities and excellent stability compared to analogous triflate and halide complexes.

Photochemical Synthesis of Transition Metal-Stabilized Uranium(VI) Nitride Complexes.

Project description:Uranium nitrides play important roles in dinitrogen activation and functionalization and in chemistry for nuclear fuels, but the synthesis and isolation of the highly reactive uranium(VI) nitrides remains challenging. Here, we report an example of transition metal (TM) stabilized U(VI) nitride complexes, which are generated by the photolysis of azide-bridged U(IV)-TM (TM = Rh, Ir) precursors. The U(V) nitride intermediates with bridged azide ligands are isolated successfully by careful control of the irradiation time, suggesting that the photolysis of azide-bridged U(IV)-TM precursors is a stepwise process. The presence of two U(VI) nitrides stabilized by three TMs is clearly demonstrated by an X-ray crystallographic study. These TM stabilized U(V) nitride intermediates and U(VI) nitride products exhibit excellent stability both in the solid-state and in THF solution under ambient light. Density functional theory calculations show that the photolysis necessary to break the N-N bond of the azide ligands implies excitation from uranium f-orbital to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), as suggested by the strong antibonding N-(N2) character present in the latter.

1,2-Addition and cycloaddition reactions of niobium bis(imido) and oxo imido complexes.

Project description:The bis(imido) complexes (BDI)Nb(N t Bu)2 and (BDI)Nb(N t Bu)(NAr) (BDI = N,N'-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,5-dimethyl-β-diketiminate; Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) were shown to engage in 1,2-addition and [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with a wide variety of substrates. Reaction of the bis(imido) complexes with dihydrogen, silanes, and boranes yielded hydrido-amido-imido complexes via 1,2-addition across Nb-imido π-bonds; some of these complexes were shown to further react via insertion of carbon dioxide to give formate-amido-imido products. Similarly, reaction of (BDI)Nb(N t Bu)2 with tert-butylacetylene yielded an acetylide-amido-imido complex. In contrast to these results, many related mono(imido) Nb BDI complexes do not exhibit 1,2-addition reactivity, suggesting that π-loading plays an important role in activating the Nb-N π-bonds toward addition. The same bis(imido) complexes were also shown to engage in [2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions with oxygen- and sulfur-containing heteroallenes to give carbamate- and thiocarbamate-imido complexes: some of these complexes readily dimerized to give bis-μ-sulfido, bis-μ-iminodicarboxylate, and bis-μ-carbonate complexes. The mononuclear carbamate imido complex (BDI)Nb(NAr)(N( t Bu)CO2) (12) could be induced to eject tert-butylisocyanate to generate a four-coordinate terminal oxo imido intermediate, which could be trapped as the five-coordinate pyridine or DMAP adduct. The DMAP adducted oxo imido complex (BDI)NbO(NAr)(DMAP) (16) was shown to engage in 1,2-addition of silanes across the Nb-oxo π-bond; this represents a new reaction pathway in group 5 chemistry.
