Reversible Hydride Migration from C₅Me₅ to Rh^I Revealed by a Cooperative Bimetallic Approach.

ABSTRACT: The use of cyclopentadienyl ligands in organometallic chemistry and catalysis is ubiquitous, mostly due to their robust spectator role. Nonetheless, increasing examples of non-innocent behaviour are being documented. Here, we provide evidence for reversible intramolecular C-H activation at one methyl terminus of C₅Me₅ in [(?-C₅Me₅)Rh(PMe₃)₂] to form a new Rh-H bond, a process so far restricted to early transition metals. Experimental evidence was acquired from bimetallic rhodium/gold structures in which the gold center binds either to the rhodium atom or to the activated Cp* ring. Reversibility of the C-H activation event regenerates the Rh^I and Au^I monometallic precursors, whose cooperative reactivity towards polar E-H bonds (E=O, N), including the N-H bonds in ammonia, can be understood in terms of bimetallic frustration.

Synthesis and structure of a family of rhodium polystannide clusters [Rh@Sn10]3-, [Rh@Sn12]3-, [Rh2@Sn17]6- and the first triply-fused stannide, [Rh3@Sn24]5.

Project description:Through relatively subtle changes in reaction conditions, we have been able to isolate four distinct Rh/Sn cluster compounds, [Rh@Sn10]3-, [Rh@Sn12]3-, [Rh2@Sn17]6- and [Rh3@Sn24]5-, from the reaction of K4Sn9 with [(COE)2Rh(?-Cl)]2(COE = cyclooctene). The last of these has a hitherto unknown molecular topology, an edge-fused polyhedron containing three Rh@Sn10 subunits, and represents the largest endohedral Group 14 Zintl cluster yet to have been isolated from solution. DFT has been used to place these new species in the context of known cluster chemistry. ESI-MS experiments on the reaction mixtures reveal the ubiquitous presence of {RhSn8} fragments that may play a role in cluster growth.

Rh-Sb Nanoclusters: Synthesis, Structure, and Electrochemical Studies of the Atomically Precise [Rh20Sb3(CO)36]3- and [Rh21Sb2(CO)38]5- Carbonyl Compounds.

Project description:The reactivity of [Rh7(CO)16]3- with SbCl3 has been deeply investigated with the aim of finding a new approach to prepare atomically precise metalloid clusters. In particular, by varying the stoichiometric ratios, the reaction atmosphere (carbon monoxide or nitrogen), the solvent, and by working at room temperature and low pressure, we were able to prepare two large carbonyl clusters of nanometer size, namely, [Rh20Sb3(CO)36]3- and [Rh21Sb2(CO)38]5-. A third large species composed of 28 metal atoms was isolated, but its exact formulation in terms of metal stoichiometry could not be incontrovertibly confirmed. We also adopted an alternative approach to synthesize nanoclusters, by decomposing the already known [Rh12Sb(CO)27]3- species with PPh3, willing to generate unsaturated fragments that could condense to larger species. This strategy resulted in the formation of the lower-nuclearity [Rh10Sb(CO)21PPh3]3- heteroleptic cluster instead. All three new compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, and their molecular structures were fully established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. These showed a distinct propensity for such clusters to adopt an icosahedral-based geometry. Their characterization was completed by ESI-MS and NMR studies. The electronic properties of the high-yield [Rh21Sb2(CO)38]5- cluster were studied through cyclic voltammetry and in situ infrared spectroelectrochemistry, and the obtained results indicate a multivalent nature.

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.

Reactivity of hydride bridges in a high-spin [Fe3(μ-H)3]3+ cluster: reversible H2/CO exchange and Fe-H/B-F bond metathesis.

Project description:The triiron trihydride complex Fe3H3L (1) [where L3- is a tris(β-diketiminate)cyclophanate] reacts with CO and with BF3·OEt2 to afford (FeICO)2FeII(μ3-H)L (2) and Fe3F3L (3), respectively. Variable-temperature and applied-field Mössbauer spectroscopy support the assignment of two high-spin (HS) iron(i) centers and one HS iron(ii) ion in 2. Preliminary studies support a CO-induced reductive elimination of H2 from 1, rather than CO trapping a species from an equilibrium mixture. This complex reacts with H2 to regenerate 1 under a dihydrogen atmosphere, which represents a rare example of reversible CO/H2 exchange and the first to occur at high-spin metal centers, as well as the first example of a reversible multielectron redox reaction at a designed high-spin metal cluster. The formation of 3 proceeds through a previously unreported net fluoride-for-hydride substitution, and 3 is surprisingly chemically inert to Si-H bonds and points to an unexpectedly large difference between the Fe-F and Fe-H bonds in this high-spin system.

Heterogeneous Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts immobilized on chiral polymers.

Project description:The development of heterogeneous chiral catalysts has lagged far behind that of homogeneous chiral catalysts in spite of their advantages, such as environmental friendliness for a sustainable society. We describe herein novel heterogeneous chiral Rh and Rh/Ag bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts consisting of polystyrene-based polymers with chiral diene moieties. The catalysts enable high-to-excellent yields and enantioselectivities to be obtained in asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions of arylboronic acids with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds such as ketones, esters, and amides, and in other asymmetric reactions. The catalysts could be readily recovered by simple filtration and reused; they could also be applied to continuous-flow synthesis. We also discuss the nature of possible reaction species based on XPS analysis.

Molecular Zinc Hydride Cations [ZnH]+ : Synthesis, Structure, and CO2 Hydrosilylation Catalysis.

Project description:Protonolysis of [ZnH2 ]n with the conjugated Brønsted acid of the bidentate diamine TMEDA (N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine) and TEEDA (N,N,N',N'-tetraethylethane-1,2-diamine) gave the zinc hydride cation [(L2 )ZnH]+ , isolable either as the mononuclear THF adduct [(L2 )ZnH(thf)]+ [BArF 4 ]- (L2 =TMEDA; BArF 4 - =[B(3,5-(CF3 )2 -C6 H3 )4 ]- ) or as the dimer [{(L2 )Zn)}2 (?-H)2 ]2+ [BArF 4 ]- 2 (L2 =TEEDA). In contrast to [ZnH2 ]n , the cationic zinc hydrides are thermally stable and soluble in THF. [(L2 )ZnH]+ was also shown to form di- and trinuclear adducts of the elusive neutral [(L2 )ZnH2 ]. All hydride-containing cations readily inserted CO2 to give the corresponding formate complexes. [(TMEDA)ZnH]+ [BArF 4 ]- catalyzed the hydrosilylation of CO2 with tertiary hydrosilanes to give stepwise formoxy silane, methyl formate, and methoxy silane. The unexpected formation of methyl formate was shown to result from the zinc-catalyzed transesterification of methoxy silane with formoxy silane, which was eventually converted into methoxy silane as well.

Isolable fluorinated triphenylmethyl cation salts of [HCB11Cl11]-: demonstration of remarkable hydride affinity.

Project description:Significantly fluorinated triarylmethyl cations have long attracted attention as potentially accessible highly reactive carbocations, but their isolation in a convenient form has proved elusive. We show that abstraction of chloride with a cationic silylium reagent leads to the facile formation of di-, tetra-, and hexafluorinated trityl cations, which could be isolated as analytically pure salts with the [HCB11Cl11]- counterion and are compatible with (halo)arene solvents. The F6Tr+ cation carrying six meta-F substituents was computationally predicted to possess up to 20% higher hydride affinity than the parent triphenylmethyl cation Tr+. We report that indeed F6Tr+ displays reactivity unmatched by Tr+. F6Tr+ at ambient temperature abstracts hydrides from the C-H bonds in tetraethylsilane, mesitylene, methylcyclohexane, and catalyzes Friedel-Crafts alkylation of arenes with ethylene, while Tr+ does none of these.

η2-Alkene Complexes of [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(L)]+ Cations (L = COD, NBD, Ethene). Intramolecular Alkene-Assisted Hydrogenation and Dihydrogen Complex [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(η-H2)].

Project description:Rhodium-alkene complexes of the pincer ligand κ3-C5H3N-2,6-(OPiPr2)2 (PONOP-iPr) have been prepared and structurally characterized: [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(η2-alkene)][BArF4] [alkene = cyclooctadiene (COD), norbornadiene (NBD), ethene; ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]. Only one of these, alkene = COD, undergoes a reaction with H2 (1 bar), to form [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(η2-COE)][BArF4] (COE = cyclooctene), while the others show no significant reactivity. This COE complex does not undergo further hydrogenation. This difference in reactivity between COD and the other alkenes is proposed to be due to intramolecular alkene-assisted reductive elimination in the COD complex, in which the η2-bound diene can engage in bonding with its additional alkene unit. H/D exchange experiments on the ethene complex show that reductive elimination from a reversibly formed alkyl hydride intermediate is likely rate-limiting and with a high barrier. The proposed final product of alkene hydrogenation would be the dihydrogen complex [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(η2-H2)][BArF4], which has been independently synthesized and undergoes exchange with free H2 on the NMR time scale, as well as with D2 to form free HD. When the H2 addition to [Rh(PONOP-iPr)(η2-ethene)][BArF4] is interrogated using pH2 at higher pressure (3 bar), this produces the dihydrogen complex as a transient product, for which enhancements in the 1H NMR signal for the bound H2 ligand, as well as that for free H2, are observed. This is a unique example of the partially negative line-shape effect, with the enhanced signals that are observed for the dihydrogen complex being explained by the exchange processes already noted.

Bimetallic Zr,Zr-Hydride Complexes in Zirconocene Catalyzed Alkene Dimerization.

Project description:Being valuable precursors in the production of adhesives, lubricants, and other high-performance synthetic compounds, alkene dimers and oligomers can be obtained using homogeneous zirconocene catalytic systems. Further advances in such systems require precise control of their activity and chemoselectivity, increasing both the purity and yield of the products. This relies on the process mechanism usually built around the consideration of the hydride complexes as active intermediates in the alkene di- and oligomerization; however, the majority of studies lack the direct evidence of their involvement. Parallel studies on a well-known Cp2ZrCl2-AlR3 or HAlBui2 and a novel [Cp2ZrH2]2-ClAlR2 (R = Me, Et, Bui) systems activated by methylaluminoxane (MMAO-12) have shown a deep similarity both in the catalytic performance and intermediate composition. As a result of the NMR studies, among all the intermediates considered, we proved that new Zr,Zr- hydride complexes having the type x[Cp2ZrH2∙Cp2ZrHCl∙ClAlR2]∙yMAO appear to be specifically responsible for the alkene dimerization with high yield.
