An Isolable Three-Coordinate Germanone and Its Reactivity.

ABSTRACT: A rare three-coordinate germanone [IPrN]₂ Ge=O (IPrN=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-imino) was successfully isolated. The germanone has a rather high thermal stability in arene solvent, and no detectable change was observed at 80 °C for at least one week. However, high thermal stability of [IPrN]₂ Ge=O does not prevent its reactivity toward small molecules. Structural analysis and initial reactivity studies revealed the highly polarized nature of the terminal Ge=O bond. Besides, the addition of phenylacetylene, as well as O-atom transfer with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide make it a mimic of nucleophilic transition-metal oxides. Mechanism for O-atom transfer reaction was investigated via DFT calculations, which revealed that the reaction proceeds via a [2+2] cycloaddition intermediate.

Divergent Reactivity of an Isolable Nickelacyclobutane.

Project description:Nickelacyclobutanes are mostly invoked as reactive intermediates in the reaction of nickel carbenes and olefins to yield cyclopropanes. Nevertheless, early work suggested that other decomposition routes such as β-hydride elimination and even metathesis could be accessible. Herein, we report the isolation and characterization of a stable pentacoordinated nickelacyclobutane incorporated in a pincer complex. The coordination of different coligands to the nickelacyclobutane determines its selective decomposition along cyclopropanation, metathesis or apparent β-hydride elimination pathways. DFT calculations shed light on the mechanism of these different pathways.

Planar three-coordinate iron sulfide in a synthetic [4Fe-3S] cluster with biomimetic reactivity.

Project description:Iron-sulfur clusters are emerging as reactive sites for the reduction of small-molecule substrates. However, the four-coordinate iron sites of typical iron-sulfur clusters rarely react with substrates, implicating three-coordinate iron. This idea is untested because fully sulfide-coordinated three-coordinate iron is unprecedented. Here we report a new type of [4Fe-3S] cluster that features an iron centre with three bonds to sulfides, and characterize examples of the cluster in three oxidation levels using crystallography, spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations. Although a high-spin electronic configuration is characteristic of other iron-sulfur clusters, the three-coordinate iron centre in these clusters has a surprising low-spin electronic configuration due to the planar geometry and short Fe-S bonds. In a demonstration of biomimetic reactivity, the [4Fe-3S] cluster reduces hydrazine, a natural substrate of nitrogenase. The product is the first example of NH2 bound to an iron-sulfur cluster. Our results demonstrate that three-coordinate iron supported by sulfide donors is a plausible precursor to reactivity in iron-sulfur clusters like the FeMoco of nitrogenase.

Reactivity Tracking of an Enzyme Progress Coordinate.

Project description:The reactivity of individual solvent-coupled protein configurations is used to track and resolve the progress coordinate for the core reaction sequence of substrate radical rearrangement and hydrogen atom transfer in the ethanolamine ammonia-lyase (EAL) enzyme from Salmonella enterica. The first-order decay of the substrate radical intermediate is the monitored reaction. Heterogeneous confinement from sucrose hydrates in the mesophase solvent surrounding the cryotrapped protein introduces distributed kinetics in the non-native decay of the substrate radical pair capture substate, which arise from an ensemble of configurational microstates. Reaction rates increase by >103-fold across the distribution to approach that for the native enabled substate for radical rearrangement, which reacts with monotonic kinetics. The native progress coordinate thus involves a collapse of the configuration space to generate optimized reactivity. Reactivity tracking reveals fundamental features of solvent-protein-reaction configurational coupling and leads to a model that refines the ensemble paradigm of enzyme catalysis for strongly adiabatic chemical steps.

Isolable iodosylarene and iodoxyarene adducts of Co and their O-atom transfer and C-H activation reactivity.

Project description:We report an unusual series of discrete iodosyl- and iodoxyarene adducts of Co. The formation of these adducts was confirmed by a suite of techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of these adducts with O-atom acceptors and an H-atom donor has been investigated with particular focus on elucidating mechanistic details. Detailed kinetic analysis allows for discrimination between proposed oxo and adduct mediated mechanisms. In particular, these reactions have been interrogated by competition experiments with isotopically labelled mixtures which shows that all of the studied adducts display a large KIE. These studies suggest different mechanisms may be relevant depending on subtle substituent changes in the adduct complexes. Reactivity data are consistent with the involvement of a transient oxo complex in one case, while the two other systems appear to react with substrates directly as iodosyl- or iodoxyarene adducts. These results support that reactivity typically ascribed to metal-oxo complexes, such as O-atom transfer and C-H activation, can also be mediated by discrete transition metal iodosyl- or iodoxyarene adducts that are frequent intermediates in the generation of oxo complexes. The influence of additional Lewis acids such as Sc3+ on the reactivity of these systems has also been investigated.

Three-coordinate and four-coordinate cobalt hydride complexes that react with dinitrogen.

Project description:We report the formation and N(2) reactivity of novel cobalt hydride complexes supported by bulky beta-diketiminate ligands (L). Addition of KHBEt(3) to LCoCl gives [LCo(mu-H)](2) (1) or K(2)[LCoH](2) (2), depending on the amount of borohydride used. Compound 2 is the first example of a crystallographically characterized hydride complex in which a transition metal is three-coordinate. Both 1 and 2 react with N(2) at room temperature to give dinuclear N(2) complexes with loss of H(2).

Isolable Diaminophosphide Boranes.

Project description:Metalation of secondary diaminophosphine boranes by alkali metal amides provides a robust and selective access route to a range of metal diaminophosphide boranes M[(R2 N)2 P(BH3 )] (M=Li, Na, K; R=alkyl, aryl) with acyclic or heterocyclic molecular backbones, whereas reduction of a chlorodiaminophosphine borane gave less satisfactory results. The metalated species were characterized in situ by NMR spectroscopy and in two cases isolated as crystalline solids. Single-crystal XRD studies revealed the presence of salt-like structures with strongly interacting ions. Synthetic applications of K[(R2 N)2 P(BH3 )] were studied in reactions with a 1,2-dichlorodisilane and CS2 , which afforded either mono- or difunctional phosphine boranes with a rare combination of electronegative amino and electropositive functional disilanyl groups on phosphorus, or a phosphinodithioformate. Spectroscopic studies gave a first hint that removal of the borane fragment may be feasible.

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation, C-N bond coupling, and cycloaddition reactivity of a three-coordinate nickel complex featuring a terminal imido ligand.

Project description:The three-coordinate imidos (dtbpe)Ni?NR (dtbpe = (t)Bu2PCH2CH2P(t)Bu2, R = 2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (Mes), and 1-adamantyl (Ad)), which contain a legitimate Ni-N double bond as well as basic imido nitrogen based on theoretical analysis, readily deprotonate HC?CPh to form the amide acetylide species (dtbpe)Ni{NH(Ar)}(C?CPh). In the case of R = 2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3, reductive carbonylation results in formation of the (dtbpe)Ni(CO)2 along with the N-C coupled product keteneimine PhCH?C?N(2,6- (i)Pr2C6H3). Given the ability of the Ni?N bond to have biradical character as suggested by theoretical analysis, H atom abstraction can also occur in (dtbpe)Ni?N{2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3} when this species is treated with HSn((n)Bu)3. Likewise, the microscopic reverse reaction--conversion of the Ni(I) anilide (dtbpe)Ni{NH(2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3)} to the imido (dtbpe)Ni?N{2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3}--is promoted when using the radical Mes*O(•) (Mes* = 2,4,6-(t)Bu3C6H2). Reactivity studies involving the imido complexes, in particular (dtbpe)Ni?N{2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3}, are also reported with small, unsaturated molecules such as diphenylketene, benzylisocyanate, benzaldehyde, and carbon dioxide, including the formation of C-N and N-N bonds by coupling reactions. In addition to NMR spectroscopic data and combustion analysis, we also report structural studies for all the cycloaddition reactions involving the imido (dtbpe)Ni?N{2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3}.

Three-coordinate copper(I) amido and aminyl radical complexes.

Project description:A three-coordinate Cu-NR(2) system (R = p-tolyl) supported by the anionic bis(phosphino)borate ligand [Ph(2)B(CH(2)P(t)Bu(2))(2)](-) has been isolated and structurally characterized in both its anionic Cu(I) and neutral (formally) Cu(II) oxidation states. A large rate constant for the self-exchange electron-transfer reaction (k(S) >or= 10(7) M(-1) s(-1)) makes this system a functional model for the type-1 active sites in blue copper proteins. Multiedge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance, and density functional theory analyses collectively indicate that the oxidized form is best regarded as a Cu(I)-aminyl radical complex rather than a Cu(II)-amido species, with about 70% localization of the unpaired electron on the NR(2) unit. Hydrogen-atom transfer and C-C coupling reactions are presented as examples of chemical reactivity manifested by this unusual electronic structure.

Synthesis and characterization of three-coordinate Ni(III)-imide complexes.

Project description:A new family of low-coordinate nickel imides supported by 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane was synthesized. Oxidation of nickel(II) complexes led to the formation of both aryl- and alkyl-substituted nickel(III)-imides, and examples of both types have been isolated and fully characterized. The aryl substituent that proved most useful in stabilizing the Ni(III)-imide moiety was the bulky 2,6-dimesitylphenyl. The two Ni(III)-imide compounds showed different variable-temperature magnetic properties but analogous EPR spectra at low temperatures. To account for this discrepancy, a low-spin/high-spin equilibrium was proposed to take place for the alkyl-substituted Ni(III)-imide complex. This proposal was supported by DFT calculations. DFT calculations also indicated that the unpaired electron is mostly localized on the imide nitrogen for the Ni(III) complexes. The results of reactions carried out in the presence of hydrogen donors supported the findings from DFT calculations that the adamantyl substituent was a significantly more reactive hydrogen-atom abstractor. Interestingly, the steric properties of the 2,6-dimesitylphenyl substituent are important not only in protecting the Ni═N core but also in favoring one rotamer of the resulting Ni(III)-imide, by locking the phenyl ring in a perpendicular orientation with respect to the NiPP plane.
