Tuning ligand field strength with pendent Lewis acids: access to high spin iron hydrides.

ABSTRACT: Geometrically flexible 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl units within the secondary coordination sphere enable isolation of high-spin Fe(ii)-dihydrides stabilized by boron-hydride interactions and a rare example of an isolable S = 3/2 reduction product. The borane-capped Fe(ii)-dihydride: (1) rapidly deprotonates E-H (E = N, O, P, S) bonds to afford borane-stabilized Fe adducts and (2) releases H₂ upon exposure to π-acids. The Lewis acids provide an avenue for redox-leveling in analogy to the near constant operating potential for N₂ reduction in nitrogenase.

Acceleration of CO2 insertion into metal hydrides: ligand, Lewis acid, and solvent effects on reaction kinetics.

Project description:The insertion of CO2 into metal hydrides and the microscopic reverse decarboxylation of metal formates are important elementary steps in catalytic cycles for both CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid and methanol as well as formic acid and methanol dehydrogenation. Here, we use rapid mixing stopped-flow techniques to study the kinetics and mechanism of CO2 insertion into transition metal hydrides. The investigation finds that the most effective method to accelerate the rate of CO2 insertion into a metal hydride can be dependent on the nature of the rate-determining transition state (TS). We demonstrate that for an innersphere CO2 insertion reaction, which is proposed to have a direct interaction between CO2 and the metal in the rate-determining TS, the rate of insertion increases as the ancillary ligand becomes more electron rich or less sterically bulky. There is, however, no rate enhancement from Lewis acids (LA). In comparison, we establish that for an outersphere CO2 insertion, proposed to proceed with no interaction between CO2 and the metal in the rate-determining TS, there is a dramatic LA effect. Furthermore, for both inner- and outersphere reactions, we show that there is a small solvent effect on the rate of CO2 insertion. Solvents that have higher acceptor numbers generally lead to faster CO2 insertion. Our results provide an experimental method to determine the pathway for CO2 insertion and offer guidance for rate enhancement in CO2 reduction catalysis.

Tuning iron spin states in single-atom nanozymes enables efficient peroxidase mimicking.

Project description:The large-scale application of nanozymes remains a significant challenge owing to their unsatisfactory catalytic performances. Featuring a unique electronic structure and coordination environment, single-atom nanozymes provide great opportunities to vividly mimic the specific metal catalytic center of natural enzymes and achieve superior enzyme-like activity. In this study, the spin state engineering of Fe single-atom nanozymes (FeNC) is employed to enhance their peroxidase-like activity. Pd nanoclusters (PdNC) are introduced into FeNC, whose electron-withdrawing properties rearrange the spin electron occupation in Fe(ii) of FeNC-PdNC from low spin to medium spin, facilitating the heterolysis of H2O2 and timely desorption of H2O. The spin-rearranged FeNC-PdNC exhibits greater H2O2 activation activity and rapid reaction kinetics compared to those of FeNC. As a proof of concept, FeNC-PdNC is used in the immunosorbent assay for the colorimetric detection of prostate-specific antigen and achieves an ultralow detection limit of 0.38 pg mL-1. Our spin-state engineering strategy provides a fundamental understanding of the catalytic mechanism of nanozymes and facilitates the design of advanced enzyme mimics.

Divergent CO2 Activation by Tuning the Lewis Acid in Iron-Based Bimetallic Systems.

Project description:Bimetallic motifs mediate the selective activation and functionalization of CO2 in metalloenzymes and some recent synthetic systems. In this work, we build on the nascent concept of bimetallic frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to investigate the activation and reduction of CO2 . Using the Fe0 fragment [(depe)2 Fe] (depe=1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) as base, we modify the nature of the partner Lewis acid to accomplish a divergent and highly chemoselective reactivity towards CO2 . [Au(PMe2 Ar)]+ irreversibly dissociates CO2 , Zn(C6 F5 )2 and B(C6 F5 )3 yield different CO2 adducts stabilized by push-pull interactions, while Al(C6 F5 )3 leads to a rare heterobimetallic C-O bond cleavage, and thus to contrasting reduced products after exposure to dihydrogen. Computational investigations provide a rationale for the divergent reactivity, while Energy Decomposition Analysis-Natural Orbital for Chemical Valence (EDA-NOCV) method substantiates the heterobimetallic bonding situation.

Properties of Metal Hydrides of the Iron Triad.

Project description:Metal hydride complexes are essential intermediates in hydrogenation reactions. The hydride-donor ability determines the scope of use of these complexes. We present a new, simple mass-spectrometry method to study the hydride-donor ability of metal hydrides using a series of 18 iron, cobalt, and nickel complexes with N- and P-based ligands (L). The mixing of [(L)MII(OTf)2] with NaBH4 forms [(L)MII(BH4)]+ (M = Fe, Co, Ni) that can be detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Energy-resolved collision-induced dissociations of [(L)MII(BH4)]+ provide threshold energies (ΔECID) for the formations of [(L)MII(H)]+ that correlate well with the hydride donor ability of the metal hydride complexes. We studied the vibrational and electronic spectra of the generated metal hydrides, assigned their structure and spin state, and demonstrated a good correlation between ΔECID and the M-H stretching vibration frequencies. The ΔECID also correlates with reaction rates for hydride transfer reactivity in the gas phase and known reactivity trends in the solution phase.

Ligand orientation control in low-spin six-coordinate (porphinato)iron(II) species.

Project description:The synthesis of a low-spin six-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinate in which the two axial ligands are forced to have a relative perpendicular orientation has been successfully accomplished for the first time. The reaction of four-coordinate (tetramesitylporphinato)iron(II) with 2-methylimidazole leads to the preparation of [Fe(TMP)(2-MeHIm)(2)] which cocrystallizes with five-coordinate [Fe(TMP)(2-MeHIm)]. The six-coordinate complex accommodates the sterically crowded pair of imidazoles with a strongly ruffled core and relative perpendicular orientation. This leads to shortened equatorial bonds of 1.963(6) A and slightly elongated axial Fe-N bond lengths of 2.034(9) A that are about 0.04 A shorter and 0.03 A longer, respectively, in comparison to those of the bis-imidazole-ligated iron(II) species with parallel oriented axial ligands. The Mossbauer spectrum shows a pair of quadrupole doublets that can be assigned to the components of the cocrystallized crystalline solid. High-spin five-coordinate [Fe(TMP)(2-MeHIm)] has DeltaE(Q) = 2.25 mm/s and delta = 0.90 mm/s at 15 K. The quadrupole splitting, DeltaE(Q), for [Fe(TMP)(2-MeHIm)(2)] is 1.71 mm/s, and the isomer shift is 0.43 mm/s at 15 K. The quadrupole splitting value is significantly larger than that found for low-spin iron(II) derivatives with relative parallel orientations for the two axial ligands. Mossbauer spectra thus provide a probe for ligand orientation when structural data are otherwise not available.

Uncoupled Redox-Inactive Lewis Acids in the Secondary Coordination Sphere Entice Ligand-Based Nitrite Reduction.

Project description:Metal complexes composed of redox-active pyridinediimine (PDI) ligands are capable of forming ligand-centered radicals. In this Forum article, we demonstrate that integration of these types of redox-active sites with bioinspired secondary coordination sphere motifs produce direduced complexes, where the reduction potential of the ligand-based redox sites is uncoupled from the secondary coordination sphere. The utility of such ligand design was explored by encapsulating redox-inactive Lewis acidic cations via installation of a pendant benzo-15-crown-5 in the secondary coordination sphere of a series of Fe(PDI) complexes. Fe(15bz5PDI)(CO)2 was shown to encapsulate the redox-inactive alkali ion, Na+, causing only modest (31 mV) anodic shifts in the ligand-based redox-active sites. By uncoupling the Lewis acidic sites from the ligand-based redox sites, the pendant redox-inactive ion, Na+, can entice the corresponding counterion, NO2-, for reduction to NO. The subsequent initial rate analysis reveals an acceleration in anion reduction, confirming this hypothesis.

Cationic Triarylchlorostibonium Lewis Acids.

Project description:Organopnictogen cations show promise as powerful, tunable main-group Lewis acid catalysts. The synthesis, solid-state structures, and reactivity of a series of weakly coordinated triarylchlorostibonium salts [Ar3SbCl][B(C6F5)4] (Ar = Ph, 3-FC6H4, 4-FC6H4, 3,5-F2C6H3, 2,4,6-F3C6H2) are reported. The cation in each adopts a tetrahedral coordination environment of antimony, with near complete separation from the anion. Structural, computational, and reactivity studies reveal that the Lewis acidity of [Ar3SbCl]+ generally increases with increased fluorination of the Ar substituents, with a secondary quenching effect from para fluorination. [Ar3SbCl]+ is reduced to Ar3Sb in the presence of Et3SiH, and the mechanism of this reaction has been modeled computationally. Preliminary studies demonstrate that they are useful catalysts for the dimerization of 1,1-diphenylethylene and the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene.

Hydrazine Capture and N-N Bond Cleavage at Iron Enabled by Flexible Appended Lewis Acids.

Project description:Incorporation of two 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl substituents within the secondary coordination sphere of a pincer-based Fe(II) complex provides Lewis acidic sites capable of binding 1 or 2 equiv of N2H4. Reduction of the 1:1 Fe:N2H4 species affords a rare Fe(NH2)2 complex in which the amido ligands are stabilized through interactions with the appended boranes. The NH2 units can be released as NH3 upon protonation and exchanged with exogenous N2H4.

Synthesis and characterization of Magnesium-Iron-Cobalt complex hydrides.

Project description:The formation, structure and deuterium desorption properties of Mg2FexCo(1-x)Dy (0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 5 ≤ y ≤ 6) complex hydrides were investigated. The synthesis was carried out by reactive ball milling, using a mixture of powders of the parent elements in D2 atmosphere. The formation of quaternary deuterides was identified from Rietveld refinements of powder X-Ray diffraction and powder neutron diffraction patterns, and from infrared attenuated total reflectance analysis. It was observed that the crystal structure of deuterides depends on the transition metal fraction. For Co-rich compositions, i.e. up to x = 0.1, hydrides have the tetragonal distorted CaF2-type structure (space group P4/nmm) of Mg2CoD5 at room temperature. For Fe-rich compositions, i.e. x ≥ 0.5, a cubic hydride is observed, with the same K2PtCl6-type structure (space group Fm[Formula: see text]m) as Mg2FeD6 and as Mg2CoD5 at high temperatures. For x = 0.3, both the cubic and the tetragonal deuterides are detected. Differential scanning calorimetry coupled with thermogravimetric and temperature programmed desorption analyses show rather similar deuterium desorption properties for all samples, without significant changes as a function of composition. Finally, hydrogen sorption experiments performed for Mg2Fe0.5Co0.5H5.5 at 30 bar of H2 and 673 K showed reversible reactions, with good kinetic for both absorption and desorption of hydrogen.
