Catalytic Activation of N2O at a Low-Valent Bismuth Redox Platform.

ABSTRACT: Herein we present the catalytic activation of N2O at a BiI?BiIII redox platform. The activation of such a kinetically inert molecule was achieved by the use of bismuthinidene catalysts, aided by HBpin as reducing agent. The protocol features remarkably mild conditions (25 °C, 1 bar N2O), together with high turnover numbers (TON, up to 6700) and turnover frequencies (TOF). Analysis of the elementary steps enabled structural characterization of catalytically relevant intermediates after O-insertion, namely a rare arylbismuth oxo dimer and a unique monomeric arylbismuth hydroxide. This protocol represents a distinctive example of a main-group redox cycling for the catalytic activation of N2O.

Redox-Neutral Organometallic Elementary Steps at Bismuth: Catalytic Synthesis of Aryl Sulfonyl Fluorides.

Project description:A Bi-catalyzed synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from the corresponding (hetero)aryl boronic acids is presented. We demonstrate that the organobismuth(III) catalysts bearing a bis-aryl sulfone ligand backbone revolve through different canonical organometallic steps within the catalytic cycle without modifying the oxidation state. All steps have been validated, including the catalytic insertion of SO2 into Bi-C bonds, leading to a structurally unique O-bound bismuth sulfinate complex. The catalytic protocol affords excellent yields for a wide range of aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids, displaying a wide functional group tolerance.

Low-valent tungsten redox catalysis enables controlled isomerization and carbonylative functionalization of alkenes.

Project description:The controlled isomerization and functionalization of alkenes is a cornerstone achievement in organometallic catalysis that is now widely used throughout industry. In particular, the addition of CO and H2 to an alkene, also known as the oxo-process, is used in the production of linear aldehydes from crude alkene feedstocks. In these catalytic reactions, isomerization is governed by thermodynamics, giving rise to functionalization at the most stable alkylmetal species. Despite the ubiquitous industrial applications of tandem alkene isomerization/functionalization reactions, selective functionalization at internal positions has remained largely unexplored. Here we report that the simple W(0) precatalyst W(CO)6 catalyses the isomerization of alkenes to unactivated internal positions and subsequent hydrocarbonylation with CO. The six- to seven-coordinate geometry changes that are characteristic of the W(0)/W(II) redox cycle and the conformationally flexible directing group are key factors in allowing isomerization to take place over multiple positions and stop at a defined unactivated internal site that is primed for in situ functionalization.

Cationic Bismuth Aminotroponiminates: Charge Controls Redox Properties.

Project description:The behavior of the redox-active aminotroponiminate (ATI) ligand in the coordination sphere of bismuth has been investigated in neutral and cationic compounds, [Bi(ATI)3 ] and [Bi(ATI)2 Ln ][A] (L=neutral ligand; n=0, 1; A=counteranion). Their coordination chemistry in solution and in the solid state has been analyzed through (variable-temperature) NMR spectroscopy, line-shape analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and their Lewis acidity has been evaluated by using the Gutmann-Beckett method (and modifications thereof). Cyclic voltammetry, in combination with DFT calculations, indicates that switching between ligand- and metal-centered redox events is possible by altering the charge of the compounds from 0 in neutral species to +1 in cationic compounds. This adds important facets to the rich redox chemistry of ATIs and to the redox chemistry of bismuth compounds, which is, so far, largely unexplored.

Reassessment of N2 activation by low-valent Ti-amide complexes: a remarkable side-on bridged bis-N2 adduct is actually an arene adduct.

Project description:The complex {(TMEDA)2Li}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-η2:η2-N2)2} (5-Li) is the only transition metal N2 complex ever reported with two side-on N2 adducts. In this report, the similarity of 5-Li to a new inverse sandwich toluene adduct {(PhMe)K}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-PhMe)} (6-K) necessitated a re-examination of the structure of 5-Li. Through a reassessment of the original disordered crystal data of 5-Li and new independent syntheses brought about through revisitation of the original reaction conditions, 5-Li has been re-assigned as an inverse sandwich toluene adduct, {(TMEDA)2Li}{[Ti(N(TMS)2)2]2(μ-PhMe)} (6-Li). The original crystal data could be fitted almost equally well to structural solutions as either 5-Li or 6-Li, and this study highlights the importance of a holistic examination of modeled data and the need for secondary/complementary analytical methods in paramagnetic inorganic syntheses, especially when presenting unique and unexpected results. In addition, further examination of reduction reactions of Ti[N(TMS)2]3 and [(TMS)2N]2TiCl(THF) in the presence of KC8 revealed rich solvent- and counterion-dependent chemistry, including several degrees of N2 activation (bridging nitride complexes, terminal bridging N2 complexes) as well as ligand C-H activation.

Catalytic Isohypsic-Redox Sequences for the Rapid Generation of Csp3 -Containing Heterocycles.

Project description:Cross-coupling reactions catalyzed by transition metals are among the most influential in modern synthetic chemistry. The vast majority of transition-metal-catalyzed cross-couplings rely on a catalytic cycle involving alternating oxidation and reduction of the metal center and are generally limited to forging just one type of new bond per reaction (e.g., the biaryl linkage formed during a Suzuki cross-coupling). This work presents an Isohypsic-Redox Sequence (IRS) that uses one metal to effect two catalytic cycles, thereby generating multiple new types of bonds from a single catalyst source. We show that the IRS strategy is amenable to several widely used transformations including the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, and Wacker oxidation. Furthermore, each of these reactions generates value-added heterocycles with significant sp3 -C (3-dimensional) content. Our results provide a general framework for generating complex products by using a single metal to fulfill multiple roles. By uniting different combinations of reactions in the isohypsic and redox phases of the process, this type of catalytic multiple bond-forming platform has the potential for wide applicability in the efficient synthesis of functional organic molecules.

Chemical Bonding in the Catalytic Platform Material Ga1-x Snx Pd2.

Project description:The underlying reasons for the catalytic activity of Ga1-x Snx Pd2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) in the semi-hydrogenation of acetylene are analyzed considering electronic structure and chemical bonding. Analysis of the chemical bonding shows pronounced charge transfer from the p elements to palladium and an unusual appearance of the Pd core basins at the surface of the QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms in molecules) atoms. The charge transfer supports the formation of the negatively charged palladium catalytic centers. Gallium-only-coordinated palladium atoms reveal a smaller effective charge in comparison with palladium species having tin in their coordination sphere. Within the empirical tight-binding approach, different influence of the E-Pd distances on the calculation matrix for the energy eigenvalues and the electronic density of states (DOS) leads to an S-like shape of the plot of the energy position of the 4d band center of gravity versus substitution level x. The latter correlates strongly with the catalytic activity and with the varying charge transfer to palladium. The optimal value of negative palladium charge and the closest position of Pd d-states gravity center towards the Fermi level correlates well with the catalytically most active composition x. Combination of all features of the chemical bonding and electronic structure allows more insight into the intrinsic reasons for the catalytic activity variation in the platform material Ga1-x Snx Pd2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1).

Electrochemically decoupled reduction of CO2 to formate over a dispersed heterogeneous bismuth catalyst enabled via redox mediators.

Project description:Electrochemical CO2 reduction is a topic of major interest in contemporary research as an approach to use renewably-derived electricity to synthesise useful hydrocarbons from waste CO2. Various strategies have been developed to optimise this challenging reaction at electrode interfaces, but to-date, decoupled electrolysis has not been demonstrated for the reduction of CO2. Decoupled electrolysis aims to use electrochemically-derived charged redox mediators - electrical charge and potential vectors - to separate catalytic product formation from the electrode surface. Utilising an electrochemically generated highly reducing redox mediator; chromium propanediamine tetraacetate, we report the first successful application of decoupled electrolysis to electrochemical CO2 reduction. A study of metals and metal composites found formate to be the most accessible product, with bismuth metal giving the highest selectivity. Copper, tin, gold, nickel and molybdenum carbide heterogeneous catalysts were also investigated, in which cases H2 was found to be the major product, with minor yields of two-electron CO2 reduction products. Subsequent optimisation of the bismuth catalyst achieved a high formate selectivity of 85%. This method represents a radical new approach to CO2 electrolysis, which may be coupled directly with renewable energy storage technology and green electricity.

Low-Valent Germanylidene Anions: Efficient Single-Site Nucleophiles for Activation of Small Molecules.

Project description:Rare mononuclear and helical chain low-valent germanylidene anions supported by cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene and hypermetallyl ligands were synthesised by stepwise reduction from corresponding germylene precursors via stable and isolable germanium radicals. The electronic structures of the anions can be described with ylidene and ylidone resonance forms with the Ge-C π-electrons capable of binding even weak electrophiles. The germanylidene anions reacted with CO2 to give μ-CO2 -κC:κO complexes, a rare coordination mode for low-valent germanium and inaccessible for the related neutral germylones. These results implicate low-valent germanylidene anions as efficient single-site nucleophiles for activation of small molecules.

Catalytic patch with redox Cr/CeO2 nanozyme of noninvasive intervention for brain trauma.

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a sudden injury to the brain, accompanied by the production of large amounts of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and acute neuroinflammation responses. Although traditional pharmacotherapy can effectively decrease the immune response of neuron cells via scavenging free radicals, it always involves in short reaction time as well as rigorous clinical trial. Therefore, a noninvasive topical treatment method that effectively eliminates free radicals still needs further investigation. Methods: In this study, a type of catalytic patch based on nanozymes with the excellent multienzyme-like activity is designed for noninvasive treatment of TBI. The enzyme-like activity, free radical scavenging ability and therapeutic efficacy of the designed catalytic patch were assessed in vitro and in vivo. The structural composition was characterized by the X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy technology. Results: Herein, the prepared Cr-doped CeO2 (Cr/CeO2) nanozyme increases the reduced Ce3+ states, resulting in its enzyme-like activity 3-5 times higher than undoped CeO2. Furthermore, Cr/CeO2 nanozyme can improve the survival rate of LPS induced neuron cells via decreasing excessive RONS. The in vivo experiments show the Cr/CeO2 nanozyme can promote wound healing and reduce neuroinflammation of mice following brain trauma. The catalytic patch based on nanozyme provides a noninvasive topical treatment route for TBI as well as other traumas diseases. Conclusions: The catalytic patch based on nanozyme provides a noninvasive topical treatment route for TBI as well as other traumas diseases.

Calcium-Catalyzed Arene C-H Bond Activation by Low-Valent AlI.

Project description:The low-valent ß-diketiminate complex (DIPP BDI)Al is stable in benzene but addition of catalytic quantities of [(DIPP BDI)CaH]2 at 20 °C led to (DIPP BDI)Al(Ph)H (DIPP BDI=CH[C(CH3 )N-DIPP]2 , DIPP=2,6-diisopropylphenyl). Similar Ca-catalyzed C-H bond activation is demonstrated for toluene or p-xylene. For toluene a remarkable selectivity for meta-functionalization has been observed. Reaction of (DIPP BDI)Al(m-tolyl)H with I2 gave m-tolyl iodide, H2 and (DIPP BDI)AlI2 which was recycled to (DIPP BDI)Al. Attempts to catalyze this reaction with Mg or Zn hydride catalysts failed. Instead, the highly stable complexes (DIPP BDI)Al(H)M(DIPP BDI) (M=Mg, Zn) were formed. DFT calculations on the Ca hydride catalyzed arene alumination suggest that a similar but more loosely bound complex is formed: (DIPP BDI)Al(H)Ca(DIPP BDI). This is in equilibrium with the hydride bridged complex (DIPP BDI)Al(μ-H)Ca(DIPP BDI) which shows strongly increased electron density at Al. The combination of Ca-arene bonding and a highly nucleophilic Al center are key to facile C-H bond activation.
