Synthetic and Structural Studies of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Nickel

Transition metal complexes of stable N-heterocyclic carbenes have recently gained increasing attention as pre-catalysts for a number of important reactions primarily based on the analogy between N-heterocyclic carbenes and strong ó-donating tertiary phosphines,[1] Although a large number of transition-metal carbene complexes have been reported, very few incorporate chelating carbenes were reported.[2,3] Therefore, we have set out to prepare and study transition-metal compounds with chelating di-N-heterocyclic carbenes, and we now report new dicationic tetra(carbine)nickel(Ⅱ) complexes in this class (Scheme 1). Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies (Figure 1).

Kinetic study on the ligand exchange reactions between bis(alkylxanthato)palladium(II)and bis(N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamato)palladium(II)by high-performance liquid chromatography

The rate constants and equilibrium constants of ligand exchange reactions between his(alkylxanthato)palladium(Ⅱ),Pd(S_2COR)_2(R=Am,n-Hex,Bz),and bis(N,N-dialkyldithiocarbamato)palladium(Ⅱ),Pd(S_2CNR_2)_2(K=Et,n-Pr,n-Bu),in chloroform solution have been determined ina temperature range of 20—50°C by means of high-performance liquid chromatography.It was foundthat both the forward and reverse reactions are of second order.All of the equilibrium constants Kdetermined are 10.3±1.0,much greater than the value(K=4)calculated statistically which indicatesthat the ternary complexes are more stable than the binary complexes.The experimental resultsrevealed that the reaction rate decreases with the increase in the size of R and R~1 groups and the latterare more remarkable,consistent with the deduction of steric effect.The activation parameters ofthe reactions have been calculated.In reaction series(11)and(12)(in the text)the isokinetic tempera-tures B=390±8K and β=346±15 K have been observed respectively.A plausiblemechanism in-volving an eight-membered ring intermediate has been proposed on the basis of experimental results.     

稀土与β-二酮及2-（2-吡啶）苯并咪唑三元配合物的研究

As useful fluorescent reagent, rare earth complexes with β-diketones have been　extensively studied. Four new rare earth (La, Eu) ternary complexes with　β-diketones, (benzoylacetone (Hbza), 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, (HTTA)) and organic base (2-(2-pyridyl) benzimidazole, (Hpbi)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR. The general formulae of these complexes are ［Ln(bza)₃(Hpbi)］ and［Ln(TTA)₃(Hpbi)］. The effects of coordinated base on UV, especially on fluorescent properties of the complexes were discussed.
