Molecular structures of the pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl iron complexes [(C₅Ph₅)Fe(CO)₂R] (R = Me, Ph, iPr and Bu).

ABSTRACT: The Pd^II-catalysed reaction of [(C₅Ph₅)Fe(CO)₂Br] with Grignard compounds RMgX or butyl lithium gave the iron alkyl/aryl complexes [(C₅Ph₅)Fe(CO)₂R] (R = Me, Ph, iPr and Bu) in 59-73% yield, namely, dicarbonylmethyl(η⁵-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(CH₃)(C₃₅H₂₅)(CO)₂], dicarbonyl(η⁵-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)phenyliron, [Fe(C₆H₅)(C₃₅H₂₅)(CO)₂], dicarbonyl(isopropyl)(η⁵-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C₃H₇)(C₃₅H₂₅)(CO)₂], and butyldicarbonyl(η⁵-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl)iron, [Fe(C₄H₉)(C₃₅H₂₅)(CO)₂]. The crystal structure determinations showed the usual `paddle-wheel' orientation of the phenyl rings, with an average canting angle of ca 50°. The bond parameters are mainly dictated by the steric requirements of the alkyl/aryl groups and only the phenyl complex shows electronic effects.

Non-decarbonylative photochemical versus thermal activation of Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] - the Fe-catalyzed Cloke-Wilson rearrangement of vinyl and arylcyclopropanes.

Project description:The base metal complex Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] (TBA[Fe]) catalyzes the rearrangement of vinyl and arylcyclopropanes both under thermal or photochemical conditions to give the corresponding vinyl or aryldihydrofurans in good to excellent yields. Under photochemical conditions the reaction is performed at room temperature. Spectroscopic investigations show that the metal carbonyl catalyst is not decarbonylated. The best performance was observed at a wavelength of 415 nm. icMRCI+Q analysis of the excited singlet and triplet states of the [Fe(CO)3(NO)] anion was performed and used to calculate the vertical excitation energies which are in good agreement with the experimental data. CASSCF analysis indicates that the Fe center in all excited states of the ferrate becomes more electrophilic while adopting a distorted tetrahedral configuration. Both aspects have a positive synergistic effect on the formation of the initial ?-complex with the incoming organic substrate.

Stabilities, Electronic Structures, and Bonding Properties of Iron Complexes (E1E2)Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 (E1E2=BF, CO, N2, CN-, or NO+).

Project description:The coordination of 10-electron diatomic ligands (BF, CO N2) to iron complexes Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 [ArTripp2=2,6-(2,4,6-(iso-propyl)3C6H2)2C6H3] have been realized in experiments very recently (Science, 2019, 363, 1203-1205). Herein, the stability, electronic structures, and bonding properties of (E1E2)Fe-(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 (E1E2=BF, CO, N2, CN-, NO+) were studied using density functional (DFT) calculations. The ground state of all those molecules is singlet and the calculated geometries are in excellent agreement with the experimental values. The natural bond orbital analysis revealed that Fe is negatively charged while E1 possesses positive charges. By employing the energy decomposition analysis, the bonding nature of the E2E1-Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 bond was disclosed to be the classic dative bond E2E1→Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 rather than the electron-sharing double bond. More interestingly, the bonding strength between BF and Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 is much stronger than that between CO (or N2) and Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2, which is ascribed to the better σ-donation and π back-donations. However, the orbital interactions in CN-→Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 and NO+→Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 mainly come from σ-donation and π back-donation, respectively. The different contributions from σ donation and π donation for different ligands can be well explained by using the energy levels of E1E2 and Fe(CO)2(CNArTripp2)2 fragments.

Cleavage of cluster iron-sulfide bonds in cyclophane-coordinated FenSm complexes.

Project description:Reaction of the tri(μ-sulfido)triiron(iii) tris(β-diketiminate) cyclophane complex, Fe3S3LEt/Me (1), or of the di(μ-sulfido)diiron(iii) complex Fe2S2HLEt/Me (5), with the related tri(bromide)triiron(ii) complex Fe3Br3LEt/Me (2) results in electron and ligand redistribution to yield the mixed-ligand multiiron complexes, including Fe3Br2SLEt/Me (3) and Fe2Br2SHLEt/Me (4). The cleavage and redistribution observed in these complexes is reminiscent of necessary Fe-S bond cleavage for substrate activation in nitrogenase enzymes, and provides a new perspective on the lability of Fe-S bonds in FeS clusters.

Coordination Chemistry of P4 S3 and P4 Se3 towards the Iron Fragments [Fe(Cp)(CO)2 ]+ and [Fe(Cp)(PPh3 )(CO)].

Project description:The complexes Ag(L)n [WCA] (L=P4 S3 , P4 Se3 , As4 S3 , and As4 S4 ; [WCA]=[Al(ORF )4 ]- and [F{Al(ORF )3 }2 ]- ; RF =C(CF3 )3 ; WCA=weakly coordinating anion) were tested for their performance as ligand-transfer reagents to transfer the poorly soluble nortricyclane cages P4 S3 , P4 Se3 , and As4 S3 as well as realgar As4 S4 to different transition-metal fragments. As4 S4 and As4 S3 with the poorest solubility did not yield complexes. However, the more soluble silver-coordinated P4 S3 and P4 Se3 cages were transferred to the electron-poor Fp+ moiety ([CpFe(CO)2 ]+ ). Thus, reaction of the silver salt in the presence of the ligand with Fp-Br yielded [Fp-P4 S3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (1?a), [Fp-P4 S3 ][F(Al(ORF )3 )2 ] (1?b), and [Fp-P4 Se3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (2). Reactions with P4 S3 also yielded [FpPPh3 -P4 S3 ][Al(ORF )4 ] (3), a complex with the more electron-rich monophosphine-substituted Fp+ analogue [FpPPh3 ]+ ([CpFe(PPh3 )(CO)]+ ). All complex salts were characterized by single-crystal XRD, NMR, Raman, and IR spectroscopy. Interestingly, they show characteristic blueshifts of the vibrational modes of the cage, as well as structural contractions of the cages upon coordination to the Fp/FpPPh3 moieties, which oppose the typically observed cage expansions that lead to redshifts in the spectra. Structure, bonding, and thermodynamics were investigated by DFT calculations, which support the observed cage contractions. Its reason is assigned to ? and ? donation from the slightly P-P and P-E antibonding P4 E3 -cage HOMO (e symmetry) to the metal acceptor fragment.

Comparison of the catalytic activity for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction of (?(5)-Cp)Pd(IPr)Cl with (?(3)-cinnamyl)Pd(IPr)(Cl) and (?(3)-1-t-Bu-indenyl)Pd(IPr)(Cl).

Project description:Complexes of the type (?(3)-allyl)Pd(L)(Cl) and (?(3)-indenyl)Pd(L)(Cl) are highly active precatalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Even though allyl and indenyl ligands are similar to cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands, there have been no detailed comparative studies exploring the activity of precatalysts of the type (?(5)-Cp)Pd(L)(Cl) for Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. Here, we compare the catalytic activity of (?(5)-Cp)Pd(IPr)(Cl) (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene, Cp) with two commercially available catalysts (?(3)-cinnamyl)Pd(IPr)(Cl) (Cin) and (?(3)-1-t-Bu-indenyl)Pd(IPr)(Cl) ( (tBu) Ind). We show that Cp gives slightly better catalytic activity than Cin, but significantly inferior activity than (tBu) Ind. This order of activity is rationalized by comparing the rates at which the precatalysts are activated to the monoligated Pd(0) active species along with the tendency of the starting precatalysts to comproportionate with monoligated Pd(0) to form inactive Pd(I) dimers. As part of this work the Cp supported Pd(I) dimer (?-Cp)(?-Cl)Pd2(IPr)2 (Cp (Dim) ) was synthesized and crystallographically characterized. It does not readily disproportionate to form monoligated Pd(0) and consequently Cp (Dim) is a poor catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction.

Characterization of the terminal iron(IV) imides [[PhBP(t)(Bu)2(pz')]Fe(IV)NAd]+.

Project description:New hybrid bis(phosphine)(pyrazole)borate tripodal ligands ([PhBPtBu2(pz')]-) are reported that support pseudotetrahedral iron in the oxidation states +1, +2, +3, and +4. The higher oxidation states are stabilized by a terminal FeNR linkage. Of particular interest is the generation and thorough characterization of an S = 1 FeIVNR+ imide cation using this new ligand system. The latter species can be observed electrochemically and spectroscopically, and its solid-state crystal structure is reported.

Multinuclear iron-phenyl species in reactions of simple iron salts with PhMgBr: identification of Fe4(μ-Ph)6(THF)4 as a key reactive species for cross-coupling catalysis.

Project description:The first direct syntheses, structural characterizations, and reactivity studies of iron-phenyl species formed upon reaction of Fe(acac)3 and PhMgBr in THF are presented. Reaction of Fe(acac)3 with 4 equiv. PhMgBr in THF leads to the formation of [FePh2(μ-Ph)]2 2- at -80 °C, which can be stabilized through the addition of N-methylpyrrolidone. Alternatively, at -30 °C this reaction leads to the formation of the tetranuclear iron-phenyl cluster, Fe4(μ-Ph)6(THF)4. Further synthetic studies demonstrate that analogous tetranuclear iron clusters can be formed with both 4-F-PhMgBr and p-tolylMgBr, illustrating the generality of this structural motif for reactions of simple ferric salts and aryl Grignard reagents in THF. Additional studies isolate and define key iron species involved in the synthetic pathway leading to the formation of the tetranuclear iron-aryl species. While reaction studies demonstrate that [FePh2(μ-Ph)]2 2- is unreactive towards electrophile, Fe4(μ-Ph)6(THF)4 is found to rapidly react with bromocyclohexane to selectively form phenylcyclohexane. Based on this reactivity, a new catalytic reaction protocol has been developed that enables efficient cross-couplings using Fe4(μ-Ph)6(THF)4, circumventing the current need for additives such as TMEDA or supporting ligands to achieve effective cross-coupling of PhMgBr and a secondary alkyl halide.

Low-spin pseudotetrahedral iron(I) sites in Fe?(?-S) complexes.

Project description:Fe(I) centers in iron-sulfide complexes have little precedent in synthetic chemistry despite a growing interest in the possible role of unusually low valent iron in metalloenzymes that feature iron-sulfur clusters. A series of three diiron [(L3Fe)2(?-S)] complexes that were isolated and characterized in the low-valent oxidation states Fe(II)-S-Fe(II), Fe(II)-S-Fe(I), and Fe(I)-S-Fe(I) is described. This family of iron sulfides constitutes a unique redox series comprising three nearly isostructural but electronically distinct Fe2(?-S) species. Combined structural, magnetic, and spectroscopic studies provided strong evidence that the pseudotetrahedral iron centers undergo a transition to low-spin S=1/2 states upon reduction from Fe(II) to Fe(I). The possibility of accessing low-spin, pseudotetrahedral Fe(I) sites compatible with S(2-) as a ligand was previously unknown.

Semiquinone radical-bridged M2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni) complexes with strong magnetic exchange giving rise to slow magnetic relaxation.

Project description:The use of radical bridging ligands to facilitate strong magnetic exchange between paramagnetic metal centers represents a key step toward the realization of single-molecule magnets with high operating temperatures. Moreover, bridging ligands that allow the incorporation of high-anisotropy metal ions are particularly advantageous. Toward these ends, we report the synthesis and detailed characterization of the dinuclear hydroquinone-bridged complexes [(Me6tren)2MII 2(C6H4O2 2-)]2+ (Me6tren = tris(2-dimethylaminoethyl)amine; M = Fe, Co, Ni) and their one-electron-oxidized, semiquinone-bridged analogues [(Me6tren)2MII 2(C6H4O2 -˙)]3+. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that the Me6tren ligand restrains the metal centers in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, and coordination of the bridging hydro- or semiquinone ligand results in a parallel alignment of the three-fold axes. We quantify the p-benzosemiquinone-transition metal magnetic exchange coupling for the first time and find that the nickel(ii) complex exhibits a substantial J < -600 cm-1, resulting in a well-isolated S = 3/2 ground state even as high as 300 K. The iron and cobalt complexes feature metal-semiquinone exchange constants of J = -144(1) and -252(2) cm-1, respectively, which are substantially larger in magnitude than those reported for related bis(bidentate) semiquinoid complexes. Finally, the semiquinone-bridged cobalt and nickel complexes exhibit field-induced slow magnetic relaxation, with relaxation barriers of U eff = 22 and 46 cm-1, respectively. Remarkably, the Orbach relaxation observed for the Ni complex is in stark contrast to the fast processes that dominate relaxation in related mononuclear NiII complexes, thus demonstrating that strong magnetic coupling can engender slow magnetic relaxation.

Immune response of human cultured cells towards macrocyclic Fe2PO and Fe2PC bioactive cyclophane complexes.

Project description:Synthetic molecules that mimic the function of natural enzymes or molecules have untapped potential for use in the next generation of drugs. Cyclic compounds that contain aromatic rings are macrocyclic cyclophanes, and when they coordinate iron ions are of particular interest due to their antioxidant and biomimetic properties. However, little is known about the molecular responses at the cellular level. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immune gene expression in human cells exposed to the cyclophanes Fe2PO and Fe2PC. Confluent human embryonic kidney cells were exposed to either the cyclophane Fe2PO or Fe2PC before extraction of RNA. The expression of a panel of innate and adaptive immune genes was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. Evidence was found for an inflammatory response elicited by the cyclophane exposures. After 8 h of exposure, the cells increased the relative expression of inflammatory mediators such as interleukin 1; IRAK, which transduces signals between interleukin 1 receptors and the NF?B pathway; and the LPS pattern recognition receptor CD14. After 24 h of exposure, regulatory genes begin to counter the inflammation, as some genes involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and non-inflammatory immune responses come into play. Both Fe2PO and Fe2PC induced similar immunogenetic changes in transcription profiles, but equal molar doses of Fe2PC resulted in more robust responses. These data suggest that further work in whole animal models may provide more insights into the extent of systemic physiological changes induced by these cyclophanes.
