Pincer complexes are becoming increasingly important for organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis. Since numerous applications for such catalysts have been developed in recent decades, this Minireview covers progress in their use as catalysts for (de)hydrogenation and transfer (de)hydrogenation reactions during the last four years. Aside from noble‐metal‐based pincer complexes, the corresponding base metal complexes are also highlighted and their applications summarized. 相似文献
A highly active iron catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide and bicarbonates works under remarkably low pressures and achieves activities similar to some of the best noble metal catalysts. A mechanism is proposed involving the direct attack of an iron trans-dihydride on carbon dioxide, followed by ligand exchange and dihydrogen coordination. 相似文献
The synthetically important, environmentally benign hydrogenation of esters to alcohols has been accomplished in recent years only with precious‐metal‐based catalysts. Here we present the first iron‐catalyzed hydrogenation of esters to the corresponding alcohols, proceeding selectively and efficiently in the presence of an iron pincer catalyst under remarkably mild conditions. 相似文献
Low-valent metals traditionally dominate the domain of catalytic hydrogenation. However, metal-ligand cooperating (MLC) catalytic systems, operating through heterolytic H−H bond splitting by a Lewis acidic metal and a basic ligand site, do not require an electron-rich metal. On the contrary, high-valent metals that induce weaker back donation facilitate heterolytic bond activation. Here we report, for the first time, the efficient hydrogenation of carbonyl and carboxyl compounds under molecular hydrogen catalyzed by a structurally well-defined RuIV catalyst bearing a bifunctional PCP pincer ligand. The catalyst exhibits reactivity toward molecular hydrogen superior to that of the low-valent analog and allows hydrogen activation even at room temperature. 相似文献
In contrast to their symmetrical analogues, nonsymmetrical PNP-type ligand motifs have been less investigated despite the modular pincer structure. However, the introduction of mixed phosphorus donor moieties provides access to a larger variety of PNP ligands. Herein, a facile solid-phase synthesis approach towards a diverse PNP-pincer ligand library of 14 members is reported. Contrary to often challenging workup procedures in solution-phase, only simple workup steps are required. The corresponding supported ruthenium-PNP catalysts are screened in ester hydrogenation. Usually, industrially applied heterogeneous catalysts require harsh conditions in this reaction (250–350 °C at 100–200 bar) often leading to reduced selectivities. Heterogenized reusable Ru-PNP catalysts are capable of reducing esters and lactones selectively under mild conditions. 相似文献
A series of polymer-supported cooperative PC(sp3)P pincer catalysts was synthesized and characterized. Their catalytic activity in the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and the transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes with formic acid as a hydrogen source was investigated. This comparative study, examining homogeneous and polymer-tethered species, proved that carefully designing a link between the support and the catalytic moiety, which takes into consideration the mechanism underlying the target transformation, might lead to superior heterogeneous catalysis. 相似文献
The construction of heterogeneous frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) catalysts is crucial for realizing highly efficient and recyclable pyridines catalytic hydrogenation. In this work, we prepared a recyclable heterogenous FLPs catalyst CMP-BF with conjugated microporous polymer CMP-ethynyl as the support via self-catalyzed 1,1-carboboration reaction with commercial Lewis acid B(C6F5)3. The as-synthesized CMP-BF demonstrates superior heterogenous catalytic hydrogenation performance (conversion> 99%), and considerable stability (84% conversion after three cycles) in recyclable hydrogenation of 2,6-phenylpyridine. This work provides insights into the fabrication and catalytic application of recyclable heterogenous FLP catalysts. 相似文献
Non-noble metal catalysts based on pincer type compounds are of special interest for organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis. Next to iron and manganese, currently cobalt–pincer type complexes are successfully applied in various catalytic reactions. In this review the recent progress in (de)hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, hydroboration and hydrosilylation as well as dehydrogenative coupling reactions using cobalt–pincer complexes is summarised. 相似文献
Molecular design ultimately furnishes improvements in performance over time, and this has been the case for Rh- and Ir-based molecular catalysts currently used in transfer hydrogenation (TH) reactions for fine chemical synthesis. In this report, we describe a molecular pincer ligand Al catalyst for TH, (I2P2−)Al(THF)Cl (I2P=diiminopyridine; THF=tetrahydrofuran). The mechanism for TH is initiated by two successive Al-ligand cooperative bond activations of the O−H bonds in two molecules of isopropanol (iPrOH) to afford six-coordinate (H2I2P)Al(OiPr)2Cl. Stoichiometric chemical reactions and kinetic experiments suggest an ordered transition state, supported by polar solvents, for concerted hydride transfer from iPrO− to substrate. Metal-ligand cooperative hydrogen bonding in a cyclic transition state is a likely support for the concerted hydride transfer event. The available data does not support involvement of an intermediate Al-hydride in the TH. Proof-of-principle reactions including the conversion of isopropanol and benzophenone to acetone and diphenylmethanol with 90 % conversion in 1 h are described. The analogous hydride compound, (I2P2−)Al(THF)H, also cleaves the O−H bond in iPrOH to afford (HI2P−)Al(OiPr)H and (HI2P−)Al(OiPr)2, but no activity for catalytic TH was observed. 相似文献
Cross‐linked polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM)s for gas separation membranes, were prepared by a nitrene reaction from a representative PIM in the presence of two different diazide cross‐linkers. The reaction temperature was optimized using TGA. The homogenous membranes were cast from THF solutions of different ratios of PIM to azides. The resulting cross‐linked structures of the PIMs membranes were formed at 175 °C after 7.5 h and confirmed by TGA, XPS, FT‐IR spectroscopy and gel content analysis. These resulting cross‐linked polymeric membranes showed excellent gas separation performance and can be used for O2/N2 and CO2/N2 gas pairs, as well as for condensable gases, such as CO2/CH4, propylene/propane separation. Most importantly, and differently from typical gas separation membranes derived from glassy polymers, the crosslinked PIMs showed no obvious CO2 plasticization up to 20 atm pressure of pure CO2 and CO2/CH4 mixtures.
A novel porous organic polymer that incorporates NNN pincer type of ligand, i. e., 2,6-Bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, (3-bpp-POP) is prepared via solvent-knitting method. Through the characterizations, 3-bpp-POP is demonstrated to possess abundant porous structure, high surface area, and excellent thermal durability. A ruthenium molecular catalyst immobilized on the 3-bpp-POP support exhibits substantial catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of LA to GVL with an initial turnover frequency (TOF) of 1680 h−1 and a maximum turnover number (TON) of 14762 over 24 h for LA conversion with selectivities of 91.1 % for GVL and 8.9 % for HPA. The catalyst demonstrated excellent durability during successive recycles without leaching Ru3+, which ascribe to the strong binding of pincer ligand to metal centers. 相似文献
The room temperature addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to give the corresponding cyanohydrins is efficiently catalysed by 1 mol% of ((2,6-bis(N-cyclohexyl)imino)phenyl)aquoplatinum(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate 1a. This methodology is also applicable to the addition of trimethylsilylcyanide to Schiff bases resulting in the formation of α-amino nitriles. 相似文献
Heterogeneously catalyzed, selective hydrogenation in the liquid phase is widely used in industry for the synthesis of chemicals. However, it can be a challenge to prevent active nanoparticles (e.g., palladium) from aggregation/leaching and meanwhile achieve high conversion as well as selectivity, especially under mild conditions. To address these issues, a CeO2 nanotube/Pd@MIL-53(Al) sandwich-structured catalyst has been prepared in which the MIL-53(Al) porous shell can efficiently stabilize the palladium nanoparticles. When this catalyst was used in a tandem catalytic reaction involving the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane and the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene, remarkably, the hydrogen released from the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane boosted the catalytic process, with 100 % conversion of phenylacetylene and a selectivity of 96.2 % for styrene, even at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, within 1 min. This work therefore provides an alternative strategy for balancing the conversion and selectivity of liquid-phase hydrogenation reactions. 相似文献
