Carborane Stabilized "19-Electron" Molybdenum Metalloradical.

ABSTRACT: Paramagnetic metal complexes gained a lot of attention due to their participation in a number of important chemical reactions. In most cases, these complexes are dominated by 17-e metalloradicals that are associatively activated with highly reactive paramagnetic 19-e species. Molybdenum paramagnetic complexes are among the most investigated ones. While some examples of persistent 17-e Mo-centered radicals have been reported, in contrast, 19-e Mo-centered radicals are illusive species and as such could rarely be detected. In this work, the photodissociation of the [Cp(CO)₃Mo]₂ dimer (1) in the presence of phosphines was revisited. As a result, the first persistent, formally 19-e Mo radical with significant electron density on the Mo center (22%), Cp(CO)₃Mo^•PPh₂(o-C₂B₁₀H₁₁) (5b), was generated and characterized by EPR spectroscopy and MS as well as studied by DFT calculations. The stabilization of 5b was likely achieved due to a unique electron-withdrawing effect of the o-carboranyl substituent at the phosphorus center.

Extremely Electron-Rich, Boron-Functionalized, Icosahedral Carborane-Based Phosphinoboranes.

Project description:We have prepared the first examples of B9-connected trivalent aryl and alkyl phosphinoborane species via Pd-catalyzed phosphination of 9-iodo-meta-carborane. Our studies highlight the unique electronic features of the B9-connected meta-carboranyl moiety as compared to its C1-based analogue. This work suggests that the B9-functionalized meta-carboranyl substituent in these ligands exhibits more electron-releasing character than any other known carbon-based substituent, ultimately laying the foundation for a new class of phosphine ligands with extremely electron-rich character.

Charge Density Waves in Electron-Doped Molybdenum Disulfide.

Project description:We present the discovery of a charge density wave (CDW) ground state in heavily electron-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). This is the first observation of a CDW in any d2 (column 6) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). The band structure of MoS2 is distinct from the d0 and d1 TMDs in which CDWs have been previously observed, facilitating new insight into CDW formation. We demonstrate a metal-insulator transition at 85 K, a 25 meV gap at the Fermi level, and two distinct CDW modulations, (2√3 × 2√3) R30° and 2 × 2, attributable to Fermi surface nesting (FSN) and electron-phonon coupling (EPC), respectively. This simultaneous exhibition of FSN and EPC CDW modulations is unique among observations of CDW ground states, and we discuss this in the context of band folding. Our observations provide a route toward the resolution of controversies surrounding the origin of CDW modulations in TMDs.

Reversible Single-Electron-Transfer to Oxygen in a Stable N-Heterocyclic Carbene Palladium(I) Metalloradical.

Project description:The chemical and electrochemical one-electron oxidation of [Pd(IPr)2] (1) leads to the formation of mononuclear palladium(I) complex [Pd(IPr)2][PF6] (2). This bench-stable metalloradical has been fully characterized and its structure confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. EPR and DFT studies confirm the localization of the unpaired electron onto the metal center. Low temperature NMR and EPR measurements reveal the ability of complex 2 to reversibly coordinate and reduce the dioxygen molecule, leading to the formation of a three-coordinate complex, [PdII(IPr)2(η1-O2)]+ (4), in which the unpaired electron has been transferred to the superoxido ligand.

Metalloradical Reactivity of Ru<sup>I</sup> and Ru<sup>0</sup> Stabilized by an Indole-Based Tripodal Tetraphosphine Ligand.

Project description:The tripodal, tetradentate tris(1-(diphenylphosphanyl)-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)phosphane PP3 -ligand 1 stabilizes Ru in the RuII , RuI , and Ru0 oxidation states. The octahedral [(PP3 )RuII (Cl)2 ] (2), distorted trigonal bipyramidal [(PP3 )RuI (Cl)] (3), and trigonal bipyramidal [(PP3 )Ru0 (N2 )] (4) complexes were isolated and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, EPR, IR, and ESI-MS. Both open-shell metalloradical RuI complex 3 and the closed-shell Ru0 complex 4 undergo facile (net) abstraction of a Cl atom from dichloromethane, resulting in formation of the corresponding RuII and RuI complexes 2 and 3, respectively.

Zeolite-Stabilized Di- and Tetranuclear Molybdenum Sulfide Clusters Form Stable Catalytic Hydrogenation Sites.

Project description:Supercages of faujasite (FAU)-type zeolites serve as a robust scaffold for stabilizing dinuclear (Mo2 S4 ) and tetranuclear (Mo4 S4 ) molybdenum sulfide clusters. The FAU-encaged Mo4 S4 clusters have a distorted cubane structure similar to the FeMo-cofactor in nitrogenase. Both clusters possess unpaired electrons on Mo atoms. Additionally, they show identical catalytic activity per sulfide cluster. Their catalytic activity is stable (>150 h) for ethene hydrogenation, while layered MoS2 structures deactivate significantly under the same reaction conditions.

Two-electron transfer stabilized by excited-state aromatization.

Project description:The scientific significance of excited-state aromaticity concerns with the elucidation of processes and properties in the excited states. Here, we focus on TMTQ, an oligomer composed of a central 1,6-methano[10]annulene and 5-dicyanomethyl-thiophene peripheries (acceptor-donor-acceptor system), and investigate a two-electron transfer process dominantly stabilized by an aromatization in the low-energy lying excited state. Our spectroscopic measurements quantitatively observe the shift of two ?-electrons between donor and acceptors. It is revealed that this two-electron transfer process accompanies the excited-state aromatization, producing a Baird aromatic 8? core annulene in TMTQ. Biradical character on each terminal dicyanomethylene group of TMTQ allows a pseudo triplet-like configuration on the 8? core annulene with multiexcitonic nature, which stabilizes the energetically unfavorable two-charge separated state by the formation of Baird aromatic core annulene. This finding provides a comprehensive understanding of the role of excited-state aromaticity and insight to designing functional photoactive materials.

Stabilized Molybdenum Trioxide Nanowires as Novel Ultrahigh-Capacity Cathode for Rechargeable Zinc Ion Battery.

Project description:Exploration of high-performance cathode materials for rechargeable aqueous Zn ion batteries (ZIBs) is highly desirable. The potential of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) in other electrochemical energy storage devices has been revealed but held understudied in ZIBs. Herein, a demonstration of orthorhombic MoO3 as an ultrahigh-capacity cathode material in ZIBs is presented. The energy storage mechanism of the MoO3 nanowires based on Zn2+ intercalation/deintercalation and its electrochemical instability mechanism are particularly investigated and elucidated. The severe capacity decay of the MoO3 nanowires during charging/discharging cycles arises from the dissolution and the structural collapse of MoO3 in aqueous electrolyte. To this end, an effective strategy to stabilize MoO3 nanowires by using a quasi-solid-state poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/ZnCl2 gel electrolyte to replace the aqueous electrolyte is developed. The capacity retention of the assembled ZIBs after 400 charge/discharge cycles at 6.0 A g-1 is significantly boosted, from 27.1% (in aqueous electrolyte) to 70.4% (in gel electrolyte). More remarkably, the stabilized quasi-solid-state ZIBs achieve an attracting areal capacity of 2.65 mAh cm-2 and a gravimetric capacity of 241.3 mAh g-1 at 0.4 A g-1, outperforming most of recently reported ZIBs.

Metalloradical approach to 2H-chromenes.

Project description:Cobalt(III)-carbene radicals, generated through metalloradical activation of salicyl N-tosylhydrazones by cobalt(II) complexes of porphyrins, readily undergo radical addition to terminal alkynes to produce salicyl-vinyl radical intermediates. Subsequent hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the hydroxy group of the salicyl moiety to the vinyl radical leads to the formation of 2H-chromenes. The Co(II)-catalyzed process can tolerate various substitution patterns and produces the corresponding 2H-chromene products in good isolated yields. EPR spectroscopy and radical-trapping experiments with TEMPO are in agreement with the proposed radical mechanism. DFT calculations reveal the formation of the salicyl-vinyl radical intermediate by a metalloradical-mediated process. Unexpectedly, subsequent HAT from the hydroxy moiety to the vinyl radical leads to formation of an o-quinone methide intermediate, which dissociates spontaneously from the cobalt center and easily undergoes an endocyclic, sigmatropic ring-closing reaction to form the final 2H-chromene product.

Type-II Dirac semimetal stabilized by electron-phonon coupling.

Project description:There is major interest, in condensed matter physics, in understanding the role of topology: remarkable progress has been made in classifying topological properties of non-interacting electrons, and on understanding the interplay between topology and electron-electron interactions. We extend such studies to interactions with the lattice, and predict non-trivial topological effects in infinitely long-lived polaron bands. Specifically, for a two-dimensional many-band model with realistic electron-phonon coupling, we verify that sharp level crossings are possible for polaron eigenstates, and prove that they are responsible for a novel type of sharp transition in the ground state of the polaron that can occur at a fixed momentum. Furthermore, they result in the appearance of Dirac cones stabilized by electron-phonon coupling. Thus, electron-phonon coupling opens an avenue to create and control Dirac and Weyl semimetals.

Stabilized four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine batteries by quaternary ammonium complexation.

Project description:Four-electron aqueous zinc-iodine batteries (4eZIBs) leveraging the I-/I0/I+ redox couple have garnered attention for their potential high voltage, capacity, and energy density. However, the electrophilic I+ species is highly susceptible to hydrolysis due to the nucleophilic attack by water. Previous endeavors to develop 4eZIBs primarily relied on highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes to mitigate the hydrolysis issue, nonetheless, it introduced challenges associated with dissolution, high electrolyte viscosity, and sluggish electrode kinetics. In this work, we present a novel complexation strategy that capitalizes on quaternary ammonium salts to form solidified compounds with I+ species, rendering them impervious to solubilization and hydrolysis in aqueous environments. The robust interaction in this complexation chemistry facilitates a highly reversible I-/I0/I+ redox process, significantly improving reaction kinetics within a conventional ZnSO4 aqueous electrolyte. The proposed 4eZIB exhibits a superior rate capability and an extended lifespan of up to 2000 cycles. This complexation chemistry offers a promising pathway for the development of advanced 4eZIBs.
