Diallylphosphines as New Bidentate Ligands in Iridium Complexes

Abstract

Addition of four equivalents of tButyldiallylphosphine to a solution of one equivalent of [(COE)₂Cl]₂ in CHCl₃ at low temperature produced two isomers of the metallated complex 2, formed by C-H activation. 2 evolve at 40°C to 3, by a hydride transfer from iridium to the cyclooctene (COE) ligand.     

Rhodium(I)-NHC Complexes Bearing Bidentate Bis-Heteroatomic Acidato Ligands as gem-Selective Catalysts for Alkyne Dimerization

A series of Rh(κ²-BHetA)(η²-coe)(IPr) complexes bearing 1,3-bis-hetereoatomic acidato ligands (BHetA) including carboxylato (O,O), thioacetato (O,S), amidato (O,N), thioamidato (N,S), and amidinato (N,N), have been prepared by reaction of the dinuclear precursor [Rh(μ-Cl)(IPr)(η²-coe)]₂ with the corresponding anionic BHetA species. The Rh^I-NHC-BHetA compounds catalyze the dimerization of aryl alkynes, showing excellent selectivity for the head-to-tail enynes. Among them, the acetanilidato-based catalyst has shown an outstanding catalytic performance reaching unprecedented TOF levels of 2500 h⁻¹ with complete selectivity for the gem-isomer. Investigation of the reaction mechanism supports a non-oxidative pathway in which the BHetA ligand behaves as proton shuttle through intermediate κ¹-HBHetA species. However, in the presence of pyridine as additive, the identification of the common Rh^IIIH(C≡CPh)₂(IPr)(py)₂ intermediate gives support for an alternative oxidative route.     

Cyclometallated Rhodium(III) Complexes with Diimine Ligands

The synthesis of a mononuclear Rh(III) complex, as a representative example of a series of related species, containing two cyclometallating ligands ppy (2-phenylpyridine) and one diimine bpy (2,2′-bipyridine) from a binuclear Cl-bridged compound is described. The absorption spectrum shows a maximum at 364 nm (ε = 7000), with a very weak shoulder (ε = 10) at 454 nm. This band is tentatively assigned to a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transition. A reversible, one-electron reduction appears in the cyclic voltammogram at E_1/2 = ?1.41 V (vs. NHE) and a irreversible oxydation at E_p = + 1.1 V. A detailed NMR analysis including ¹³C-NMR, NOE, SFORD as well as deuteration of the bpy ligand indicates the formation of only one isomer, having a C₂ axis, bisecting the bpy ligand, with the two carbon ligands in cis-position. ¹⁰³Rh, ¹³C and ¹⁰³Rh,H couplings are observed.

Zinc(II) (o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) Complexes with Mono- and Bidentate Ligands

New complexes:Zn(Hsalox)(ox), Zn(Hsalox)(NHPh), Zn(Hsalox)(Hsal) and Zn(Hsalox)₂(1,2-diMeim) have been synthesised as a result of a reaction of Zn(salox) and Zn(Hsalox)₂ (where: salox ^2–=OC₆H₄CHNO^2–, Hsalox ^–=OC₆H₄CHNOH^–) with 8-hydroxyquinoline (Hox), o-aminophenol (NH₂Ph), o-hydroxybenzoic acid (H₂Sal) and 1,2-dimethylimidazole (1,2-diMeim). Chemical, X-ray and thermal analyses of the complexes and their sinters have been carried out. Thermal decomposition pathways have been postulated for the complexes. The mixtures about not definite composition have been obtained as a result of a reaction of zinc(o-hydroxybenzaldoximates) with imidazole(Him) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MeHim). This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Dinuclear gold(I) Complexes with Bidentate NHC Ligands as Precursors for Alkynyl Complexes via Mechanochemistry

The use of alkynyl gold(I) complexes covers different research fields, such as bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis, and material science, considering the luminescent properties of the complexes. Regarding this last application, we report here the synthesis of three novel dinuclear gold(I) complexes of the general formula [(diNHC)(Au-C≡CPh)₂]: two Au-C≡CPh units are connected by a bridging di(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand, which should favor the establishment of semi-supported aurophilic interactions. The complexes can be easily synthesized through mechanochemistry upon reacting the pristine dibromido complexes [(diNHC)(AuBr)₂] with phenylacetylene and KOH. Interestingly, we were also able to isolate the monosubstituted complex [(diNHC)(Au-C≡CPh)(AuBr)]. The gold(I) species were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The emission properties were also evaluated, and the salient data are comparable to those of analogous compounds reported in the literature.     

Schiff Base Complexes of Rhodium(I) with Tridentate N-Methyl-S-methyldithiocarbazate Ligands

Schiff bases derived from the condensation of β-diketones with N-methyl-S-methyldithiocarbazates yield cis dicarbonyl complexes Rh(CO)₂ (Schiff) on reaction with [Rh(μ-Cl)(CO)₂]₂. Those derived from aromatic aldehydes form trans dicarbonyl complexes. These complexes with excess of triphenylphosphine give only Rh(CO)(PPh₃)(Schiff). cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) reacts with cis dicarbonyl complexes to yield the carbonyl-free product Rh(COD)(Schiff); similar reactions have not been observed in the case of trans-dicarbonyl complexes. Oxidative addition of bromine to these complexes yields dibromo derivative in which the Schiff base acts as bidentate chelate. Rh(PPh₃)₂(Schiff) complexes have been obtained from the reaction of above Schiff bases with Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl. The structures of these new complexes have been determined based on IR and ¹H NMR spectra.     

Rhodium(III) Complexes Featuring Coordinated CF3 Appendages

The synthesis and characterisation of a homologous series of rhodium 2,2′-biphenyl complexes featuring intramolecular dative bonding of the nominally inert and weakly coordinating trifluoromethyl group are described. Presence of these interactions is evidenced in the solid state using X-ray diffraction, with Rh−F contacts of 2.36–2.45 Å, and in solution using NMR spectroscopy, through hindered C−CF₃ bond rotation and the presence of time-averaged ¹J_RhF and ²J_PF coupling.     

Copper Complexes with New Pyridylpyrazole Based Ligands

We report the synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of new ligands of the pyridinylpyrazole type, i.e., 3,5‐bis(4‐butoxyphenyl)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazole ( L ¹ ) and 3,5‐bis(4‐phenoxyphenyl)‐1‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrazole ( L ² ) (Scheme 1), and the study of their coordination behavior towards Cu^I and Cu^II. The versatility of this type of ligand, which can give access to different coordination spheres about the metal center, depending on the nature of the copper starting material used in the preparation of the complexes (Scheme 2), is illustrated. Thus, pseudo‐tetrahedral Cu^I as well as six‐coordinated tetragonal and distorted tetragonal pyramidal Cu^II derivatives were obtained for [Cu(L)₂]PF₆, [Cu(Cl)₂(L)₂] (L= L ¹ , L ² ), and [Cu(Cl)( L ¹ )₂]PF₆, respectively. We also present a crystallographic support of a distorted octahedral cis‐bis(tetrafluoroborato‐κF)copper(II) compound found for [Cu(BF₄)₂( L ¹ )₂] ( 3 ).

Synthesis of New Bidentate Phosphine Ligands Containing Saturated Phosphorus Heterocycles

The synthesis of two ethylene-bridged bidentate phosphines is described. 1,2-Bis(1-phospholano)ethane ((C(4)H(8))PCH(2)CH(2)P(C(4)H(8))) was synthesized by the stepwise addition of 2,2-dioxo-1,3,2-dioxathiepane to H(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PH(2). 1,2-Bis(1-phosphorinano)ethane ((C(5)H(10))PCH(2)CH(2)P(C(5)H(10))) was synthesized by the novel photochemical addition of 1,4-pentadiene to H(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PH(2). These bis(phosphines) form two-to-one complexes of the form Fe(PP)(2)Cl(2) when added to iron(II) chloride.
