Promoting C-C Bond Coupling of Benzyne and Methyl Ligands in Electron-Deficient (triphos)Pt-CH₃⁺ Complexes.

ABSTRACT: In situ generated benzyne reacts at room temperature with (triphos)Pt-CH₃⁺ to form a five-coordinate ?-complex (2) that is isolable and stable in solution. Thermolysis of 2 at 60 °C generates (triphos)Pt(o-tolyl)⁺ (3), which is the product of formal migratory insertion of CH₃^- onto the coordinated benzyne. The reaction of 2 with the acid Ph₂NH₂⁺ yields toluene at room temperature over the course of 8 h, while the same reaction with 3 only proceeds to 40% conversion over 2 days. These data indicate that the protonolysis of 2 does not proceed by CH₃ migration onto benzyne to form 3 followed by protodemetalation. Instead, the data suggest either that protonation of 2 is first and is followed by H migration to yield a Pt^IVPh(Me) dication or that this latter species is generated by direct protonolysis of coordinated benzyne prior to reductive elimination of toluene.

Reversible PtII-CH3 deuteration without methane loss: metal-ligand cooperation vs. ligand-assisted PtII-protonation.

Project description:Di(2-pyridyl)ketone dimethylplatinum(ii), (dpk)PtII(CH3)2, reacts with CD3OD at 25 °C to undergo complete deuteration of Pt-CH3 fragments in ∼5 h without loss of methane to form (dpk)PtII(CD3)2 in virtually quantitative yield. The deuteration can be reversed by dissolution in CH3OH or CD3OH. Kinetic analysis and isotope effects, together with support from density functional theory calculations indicate a metal-ligand cooperative mechanism wherein DPK enables Pt-CH3 deuteration by allowing non-rate-limiting protonation of PtII by CD3OD. In contrast, other model di(2-pyridyl) ligands enable rate-limiting protonation of PtII, resulting in non-rate-limiting C-H(D) reductive coupling. Owing to its electron-poor nature, following complete deuteration, DPK can be dissociated from the PtII-centre, furnishing [(CD3)2PtII(μ-SMe2)]2 as the perdeutero analogue of [(CH3)2PtII(μ-SMe2)]2, a commonly used PtII-precursor.

1 J CH Coupling in Benzaldehyde Derivatives: Ortho Substitution Effect.

Project description:The natural J-coupling (NJC) method is applied to analyze the Fermi contact contribution of the NMR spin-spin coupling constant decomposing this contribution in terms of natural localized molecular orbitals. We investigated the influence of the basis set on the NJC analysis for the formyl group coupling constant (1 J CHf) of benzaldehyde derivatives. NJC and other NBO analyses, like steric and natural Coulombic energy, were chosen to explain the influence of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on 1 J CHf for some substituted benzaldehydes (Me, OH, OMe, F, Cl, Br, I, and NO2). For the ortho derivatives, electronegative substituents near the C-Hf bond increase the 1 J CHf coupling. This effect could be related to an increase in formyl carbon s character and changes in the carbon and hydrogen natural charges. This indicates that the substituents in ortho have a proximity effect on 1 J CHf coupling mainly of electrostatic origin instead of the expected hyperconjugative interactions.

Synergistic effects of CH3CO2H and Ca2+ on C-H bond activation by MnO4.

Project description:The activation of metal-oxo species with Lewis acids is of current interest. In this work, the effects of a weak Brønsted acid such as CH3CO2H and a weak Lewis acid such as Ca2+ on C-H bond activation by KMnO4 have been investigated. Although MnO4 - is rather non-basic (pK a of MnO3(OH) = -2.25), it can be activated by AcOH or Ca2+ to oxidize cyclohexane at room temperature to give cyclohexanone as the major product. A synergistic effect occurs when both AcOH and Ca2+ are present; the relative rates for the oxidation of cyclohexane by MnO4 -/AcOH, MnO4 -/Ca2+ and MnO4 -/AcOH/Ca2+ are 1 : 73 : 198. DFT calculations show that in the active intermediate of MnO4 -/AcOH/Ca2+, MnO4 - is H-bonded to 3 AcOH molecules, while Ca2+ is bonded to 3 AcOH molecules as well as to an oxo ligand of MnO4 -. Our results also suggest that these synergistic activating effects of a weak Brønsted acid and a weak Lewis acid should be applicable to a variety of metal-oxo species.

Product distribution and mechanism of the OH- initiated tropospheric degradation of three CFC replacement candidates: CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2, (CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 and (E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF.

Project description:The OH radical initiated photodegradation of 2-fluoropropene (CH3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2), 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene ((CF3)2C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2) and (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene ((E/Z)-CF3CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CHF) has been investigated for the first time using a 1080 L quartz-glass environmental chamber at 298 ± 2 K and atmospheric pressure of synthetic air coupled with in situ FTIR spectroscopy to monitor reactants and products. The major products observed in the OH reaction were CH3C(O)F (98 ± 5)% together with HC(O)H (89 ± 7)% as a co-product, CF3C(O)F (103 ± 8)% together with HC(O)F (96 ± 7)% as a co-product and CF3C(O)CF3 (91 ± 8)% together with HC(O)H (98 ± 12)% as a co-product from the C1-C2 bond cleavage channel of the intermediate hydroxyalkoxy radical, formed by addition of OH to the terminal carbon of the double bond which is designated C1 of 2-fluoropropene, (E/Z)-1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(tri-fluoromethyl)propene, respectively. The present results are compared with previous studies for the reaction of OH with the separate isomers (E) and (Z) of 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene. In addition, atmospheric implications of the reactions studied are discussed.

Unsaturated Vinyl-Type Carbocation [(CH3)2C=CH]+ in Its Carborane Salts.

Project description:The isobutylene carbocation (CH3)2C=CH+ was obtained in amorphous and crystalline salts with the carborane anion CHB11Cl11 -. The cation was characterized by X-ray crystallography and IR spectroscopy. Its crystal structure shows a relatively uniform ionic interaction of the cation with the surrounding anions, with a slightly shortened distance between the C atom of the =CH group and the Cl atom of the anion, pointing to a higher positive charge on this group. In the amorphous phase, the asymmetric interaction of the cation with the anion increases, approaching ion pairing. This gives rise to a strong hyperconjugation between the two CH3 groups and the 2pz orbital of the central carbon sp2 atom (the red shift of the CH stretch is 150 cm-1); this effect stabilizes the cation. Over time, as the structure of the amorphous phase becomes more ordered, the hyperconjugation weakens and disappears in the crystalline phase with the disappearance of ion pairing. The carbocation stabilization in the crystalline phase is achieved due to the transfer of a portion of the charge to the neighboring anions, whereas the charge on the C=C bond becomes the strongest: the C=C stretch frequency drops to ∼160 cm-1 relative to neutral isobutylene. The collected IR spectra for the optimized cation under vacuum (in the 6-311G ++ (d, p) basis for all HF, MP2, and DFT calculations) predict that a positive charge on the C=C bond increases its stretching frequency; this computational result contradicts the experimental data, perhaps because it does not take into account the significant impact of the environment.

Pt-O bond as an active site superior to Pt0 in hydrogen evolution reaction.

Project description:The oxidized platinum (Pt) can exhibit better electrocatalytic activity than metallic Pt0 in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which has aroused great interest in exploring the role of oxygen in Pt-based catalysts. Herein, we select two structurally well-defined polyoxometalates Na5[H3Pt(IV)W6O24] (PtW6O24) and Na3K5[Pt(II)2(W5O18)2] (Pt2(W5O18)2) as the platinum oxide model to investigate the HER performance. Electrocatalytic experiments show the mass activities of PtW6O24/C and Pt2(W5O18)2/C are 20.175 A mg-1 and 10.976 A mg-1 at 77 mV, respectively, which are better than that of commercial 20% Pt/C (0.398 A mg-1). The in situ synchrotron radiation experiments and DFT calculations suggest that the elongated Pt-O bond acts as the active site during the HER process, which can accelerate the coupling of proton and electron and the rapid release of H2. This work complements the knowledge boundary of Pt-based electrocatalytic HER, and suggests another way to update the state-of-the-art electrocatalyst.

Ionic Association in CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3(PVDF)-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1, 4: A Computational Approach.

Project description:The ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes is governed by the ionic association caused by the polymer···Li+ and the anion···Li+ interactions. We performed the density functional calculation to analyze the molecular interactions in the CH3-(CH2-CF2) n -CH3-Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- for n = 1,4 systems. The gauche conformation is predicted in the lowest energy conformer of pure polymer except for n = 1. The lithium coordination number with the polymer is changed from 3 to 2 in the presence of anion for n = 2, 4 systems. The consequences of the Li+ ion and Li+-(CF3SO2)2N- to the vibrational spectrum are studied to understand the ionic association at the molecular level.

Atomistic dynamics of elimination and nucleophilic substitution disentangled for the F- + CH3CH2Cl reaction.

Project description:Chemical reaction dynamics are studied to monitor and understand the concerted motion of several atoms while they rearrange from reactants to products. When the number of atoms involved increases, the number of pathways, transition states and product channels also increases and rapidly presents a challenge to experiment and theory. Here we disentangle the dynamics of the competition between bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and base-induced elimination (E2) in the polyatomic reaction F- + CH3CH2Cl. We find quantitative agreement for the energy- and angle-differential reactive scattering cross-sections between ion-imaging experiments and quasi-classical trajectory simulations on a 21-dimensional potential energy hypersurface. The anti-E2 pathway is most important, but the SN2 pathway becomes more relevant as the collision energy is increased. In both cases the reaction is dominated by direct dynamics. Our study presents atomic-level dynamics of a major benchmark reaction in physical organic chemistry, thereby pushing the number of atoms for detailed reaction dynamics studies to a size that allows applications in many areas of complex chemical networks and environments.

Roles of Hydrogen Bonding in Proton Transfer to κP,κN,κP-N(CH2CH2P i Pr2)2-Ligated Nickel Pincer Complexes.

Project description:The nickel PNP pincer complex ( i PrPNP)NiPh ( i PrPNP = κP,κN,κP-N(CH2CH2P i Pr2)2) was prepared by reacting ( i PrPNP)NiBr with PhMgCl or deprotonating [( i PrPNHP)NiPh]Y ( i PrPNHP = κP,κN,κP-HN(CH2CH2P i Pr2)2; Y = Br, PF6) with KO t Bu. The byproducts of the PhMgCl reaction were identified as [( i PrPNHP)NiPh]Br and ( i PrPNP')NiPh ( i PrPNP' = κP,κN,κP-N(CH=CHP i Pr2)(CH2CH2P i Pr2)). The methyl analog ( i PrPNP)NiMe was synthesized from the reaction of ( i PrPNP)NiBr with MeLi, although it was contaminated with ( i PrPNP')NiMe due to ligand oxidation. Protonation of ( i PrPNP)NiX (X = Br, Ph, Me) with various acids, such as HCl, water, and MeOH, was studied in C6D6. Nitrogen protonation was shown to be the most favorable process, producing a cationic species [( i PrPNHP)NiX]+ with the NH moiety hydrogen-bonded to the conjugate base (i.e., Cl-, HO-, or MeO-). Protonation of the Ni-C bond was observed at room temperature with ( i PrPNP)NiMe, whereas at 70 °C with ( i PrPNP)NiPh, both resulting in [( i PrPNHP)NiCl]Cl as the final product. Protonation of ( i PrPNP)NiBr was complicated by site exchange between Br- and the conjugate base and by the degradation of the pincer complexes. Indene, which lacks hydrogen-bonding capability, was unable to protonate ( i PrPNP)NiPh and ( i PrPNP)NiMe, despite being more acidic than water and MeOH. Neutral and cationic nickel pincer complexes involved in this study, including ( i PrPNP')NiBr, ( i PrPNP)NiPh, ( i PrPNP')NiPh, ( i PrPNP)NiMe, [( i PrPNHP)NiPh]Y (Y = Br, PF6, BPh4), [( i PrPNHP)NiPh]2[NiCl4], [( i PrPNHP)NiMe]Y (Y = Cl, Br, BPh4), [( i PrPNHP)NiBr]Br, and [( i PrPNHP)NiCl]Cl, were characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Reactivity of [Pt(P t Bu3)2] with Zinc(I/II) Compounds: Bimetallic Adducts, Zn-Zn Bond Cleavage, and Cooperative Reactivity.

Project description:Metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) based on zinc electrophiles are particularly interesting due to their relevance to Negishi cross-coupling reactions. Zinc-based ligands in bimetallic complexes also render unique reactivity to the transition metals at which they are bound. Here we explore the use of sterically hindered [Pt(P t Bu3)2] (1) to access Pt/Zn bimetallic complexes. Compounds [(P t Bu3)2Pt → Zn(C6F5)2] (2) and [Pt(ZnCp*)6] (3) (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) were isolated by reactions with Zn(C6F5)2 and [Zn2Cp*2], respectively. We also disclose the cooperative reactivity of 1/ZnX2 pairs (X = Cl, Br, I, and OTf) toward water and dihydrogen, which can be understood in terms of bimetallic frustration.
