Mononuclear and Dinuclear Yttrium Complexes Supported by Pyrrolide Ligands: Syntheses,Structures and Catalytic Behaviors towards the Ring-opening Polymerization of ε-Caprolactone

The syntheses, structures and catalytic activities of two yttrium complexes supported by pyrrolide ligands are reported. Treatment of Y(N(Si Me3)2)3 with one equivalent of H3bptd(H3bptd = 1,9-bis(2-pyrrolyl)-2,5,8-triazanona-1,8-diene) in THF gave a complex of composition [Y(bptd)(THF)]2(1). Reaction of Y(N(Si Me3)2)3 with one equivalent of H3tpa(H3tpa = tris(pyrrolyl-?-methyl)amine) in THF generated [Y(tpa)(THF)3](2) in good yield. Complexes 1and 2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses and NMR spectroscopy. Complex 1 is dinuclear. The two metal centers are doubly bridged by two amine nitrogen atoms to form a Y–N–Y–N four-membered rhombus ring. The geometries of Y3+ ions in 1and 2 are well described as pentagonal bipyramid and capped octahedron, respectively. The ring-opening polymerization reactions of ?-caprolactone initiated by 1 and 2, respectively, were investigated. They both exhibited good catalytic activity for the polymerization of ?-caprolactone. All of the obtained polymers have high molecular weights and relatively narrower PDIs. The polymers generated by 2 possessed polydispersity close to 1.1. The good catalytic activities of 1 and 2 reveal their potential applications in polymer industry.

Modification of Yttrium Silyl-Bridged Amide Alkyl Complexes through Si−H/C−H Cross-Dehydrocoupling of Silanes with a Silylamino Ligand: Synthesis,Reactivity, and Mechanism

A new method for the modification of a silylamino ligand has been developed through mono and dual C(sp³)−H/Si−H cross-dehydrocoupling with silanes. The reaction of [LY{η²-(C,N)-CH₂Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (L=bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-β-diketiminato, L′ ( 1^L ′); L=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, Tp^Me2 ( 1^TpMe2 )) with 2 equivalents of PhSiH₃ in toluene gave the complexes [LY{η²-(C,N)-C(SiH₂Ph)₂Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (L=L′ ( 2^L’ ); L=Tp^Me2 ( 2^TpMe2 )). Moreover, 1^TpMe2 reacted with the secondary silanes Ph₂SiH₂ and Et₂SiH₂ to afford the corresponding mono C−H activation products [Tp^Me2Y{η²-(C,N)-CH(SiHR₂)Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}] (R=Ph ( 4 b ); R=Et ( 4 c )). The equimolar reaction of 1^TpMe2 with PhSiH₃ also produced the mono C−H activation product 4 a ([Tp^Me2Y{η²-(C,N)-CH(SiH₂Ph)Si(Me₂)NSiMe₃}(thf)]). A study of their reactivity showed that 4 a facilely reacted with 2 equivalents of benzothiazole by an unusual 1,1-addition of the C=N bond of the benzothiazolyl unit to the Si−H bond to give the C−H/Si−H cross-dehydrocoupling product [(Tp^Me2)Y{η³-(N,N,N)-N(SiMe₃)SiMe₂CH₂Si(Ph)(CSC₆H₄N)(CHSC₆H₄N)}] ( 5 ). These results indicate that this modification endows the silylamino ligand with novel reactivity.

Compound 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 22.9549（4）, b = 12.2443（3）, c = 17.8687（4）A, β = 110.873（1）°, V = 4692.69（18）A^3, Z = 8, C26H18N2O7SCu, Mr = 566.02, Dc = 1.602 g/cm^3, F（000） = 2312,μ（MoKa） = 1.078 mm^-1, the final R =0.0697 and wR = 0.1330 for 3452 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. In both structures, the Cu^Ⅱ metal centers adopt five-coordination in slightly distorted tetragonal pyramidal geometries, while the second N-donor ligands bond or chelate to Cun ions as the terminal moiety. The weak interactions extend the two structures into high-dimensional supramolecular coordination-polymers.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Dinuclear Cu(II) Complex with Tridentate Schiff Base and Azido Bridge

1 INTRODUCTION The azido ligand is an efficient superexchange path-way for propagating magnetic interaction between theparamagnetic centers, such as copper(II), giving di-nuclear, tetranuclear, 1D, 2D and 3D complexes[1～4].The versatility of this ligand due to its diverse bin-ding modes leads to the variation in magnetic pro-perties that depend on its orientation with respect tothe magnetic centers. In general, the bridging modesobserved for the azido group are endtoend and en-don. In…     

An Isolable Gallium-Substituted Nitrilimine and its Reactivity with B−H,Si−H and B−B Bonds

Reaction of the Ga(I) compound NacNacGa ( 9 ) with the diazo compound N₂CHSiMe₃ affords the nitrilimine compound NacNacGa(N-NCSiMe₃)(CH₂SiMe₃) ( 10 ). Carrying out this reaction in the presence of pyridine does not lead to C−H activation on the transient alkylidene NacNacGa=CHSiMe₃ but generates a metallated diazo species NacNacGa(NHN=CHSiMe₃)(CN₂SiMe₃) ( 13 ) that further rearranges into the isonitrile compound NacNacGa(NHN=CHSiMe₃)(N(NC)SiMe₃) ( 15 ). Reactions of 10 with the silane H₃SiPh and the borane HBcat furnished products of 1,3 addition to the nitrilimine moiety NacNacGa{N(ER_n)NCSiMe₃}(CH₂SiMe₃), whereas reaction with the diborane B₂cat₂ gave the product of formal nitrene insertion into the B−B bond. DFT calculations suggest that the interaction of 9 with N₂CHSiMe₃ proceeds through intermediate formation of an alkylidene compound that undergoes CH activation with a second molecule of N₂CHSiMe₃. Insertion into the B−B bond likely proceeds through an initial 1,3-addition of the diborane, followed by boryl migration to the former nitrene center.     

Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Copper (Ⅱ) Complexes with Pyridine N-Oxide-2-ylmethy-lidenedithiocarbazate as Ligands

A series of copper (Ⅱ) complexes with pyridine N- oxide- 2- ylmethylidened-ithiocarbazates as ligands were synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, electronic spectra and magnetic moments measurement at room temperature. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibilites (3-300K) of four complexs were measured and fitted with the Bleaney-Bowers dimer equation by considering the magnetic interaction between molecules. The fitting results show the existence of intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions and intermolecu-lar anti-ferromagnetic interactions in these copper( Ⅱ) complexes.     

Inclusion Complexes of Cyclodextrins with Galangin: a Thermodynamic and Reactivity Study

The formation of the complexes of galangin (GAL) with native β-cyclodextrin (βCD), and with its substituted counterparts such as dimethyl-βCD (DMβCD) and hydroxypropyl-βCD (HPβCD), was studied by fluorescence spectra in aqueous medium. The binding association constants (K _a) of the complexes were determined at different temperatures. The formation constants obtained have the following trend upon complex formation at the three temperatures studied: HPβCD > DMβCD > βCD. The thermodynamic data for the inclusion of GAL in DMβCD and HPβCD indicated that is mainly enthalpy driven whereas for βCD it is an entropy-driven process.     

Sulfonate N-Heterocyclic Carbene–Copper Complexes: Uniquely Effective Catalysts for Enantioselective Synthesis of C−C,C−B,C−H,and C−Si Bonds

A copper-based complex that contains a sulfonate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand was first reported 15 years ago. Since then, these organometallic entities have proven to be uniquely effective in catalyzing an assortment of enantioselective transformations, including allylic substitutions, conjugate additions, proto-boryl additions to alkenes, boryl and silyl substitutions, hydride-allyl additions to alkenyl boronates, and additions of boron-containing allyl moieties to N-H ketimines. In this review article, we detail the shortcomings in the state-of-the-art that fueled the development of this air stable ligand class, members of which can be prepared on multigram scale. For each reaction type, when relevant, the prior art at the time of the advance involving sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts and/or subsequent key developments are briefly analyzed, and the relevance of the advance to efficient and enantioselective total or formal synthesis of biologically active molecules is underscored. Mechanistic analysis of the structural attributes of sulfonate NHC-Cu catalysts that are responsible for their ability to facilitate transformations with high efficiency as well as regio- and enantioselectivity are detailed. This review contains several formerly undisclosed methodological advances and mechanistic analyses, the latter of which constitute a revision of previously reported proposals.

Nickel(II) Phosphane- and N-heterocyclic Carbene Complexes with Tridentate,Dianionic [S,N,O]2– Ligands

Square-planar dinuclear nickel(II) complexes containing [S,N,O]^2– ligands formed by condensation of acetyl acetone or benzoyl acetone with cysteamine were prepared. These dimeric nickel(II) compounds undergo bridge-cleavage reactions with the cage phosphine PTA (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) or in situ generated N-heterocyclic carbenes. The resulting diamagnetic, square planar Ni^II complexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods and X-ray diffraction.     

Influence of the Flexibility of Nickel PCP-Pincer Complexes on C−H and P−C Bond Activation and Ethylene Reactivity: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Investigation

Using a pincer platform based on a bridgehead NHC donor with functional side arms, the combined effect of increased flexibility in six-membered pyrimidine-type heterocycles compared to the more often studied five-membered imidazole, and rigidity of phosphane side arms was examined. The unique features observed include: 1) the reaction of the azolium C_sp2−H bond with [Ni(cod)₂] affording a carbanionic ligand in [NiCl(PC_sp3^HP)] ( 8 ) rather than a carbene; 2) its transformation into the NHC, hydrido complex [NiH(PC^NHCP)]PF₆ ( 9 ) upon halide abstraction; 3) ethylene insertion into the Ni−H bond of the latter and ethyl migration to the N−C−N carbon atom of the heterocycle in [Ni(PC^EtP)]PF₆ ( 10 ); and 4) an unprecedented C−P bond activation transforming the P−C^NHC−P pincer ligand of 8 in a C−C^NHC−P pincer and a terminal phosphanido ligand in [Ni(PPh₂)(CC^NHCP)] ( 15 ). The data are supported by nine crystal structure determinations and theoretical calculations provided insights into the mechanisms of these transformations, which are relevant to stoichiometric and catalytic steps of general interest.
