Synthesis and structures of nickel and palladium salicylaldiminato 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) complexes

The synthesis of nickel(II) and palladium(II) salicylaldiminato complexes incorporating the water-soluble phosphine 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane(PTA) has been achieved employing two preparative routes. Reaction of the original ethylene polymerization catalyst developed by Grubbs and co-workers (Organometallics 1998, 17, 3149), (salicylaldiminato)Ni(Ph)PPh(3), with PTA using a homogeneous methanol/toluene solvent system resulted in the formation of the PTA analogues in good yields. Alternatively, complexes of this type may be synthesized via a direct approach utilizing (tmeda)M(CH(3))(2) (M = Ni, Pd), the corresponding salicylaldimine, and PTA. Yields by this method were generally near quantitative. The complexes were characterized in solution by (1)H/(13)C/(31)P NMR spectroscopy and in the solid-state by X-ray crystallography. All derivatives exhibited square-planar geometry with the bulky isopropyl groups on the aniline being perpendicular to the plane formed by the metal center and its four ligands. Such orientation of these sterically encumbering groups is responsible for polymer chain growth during olefin polymerization in favor of chain termination via beta-hydride elimination. Polymerization reactions were attempted using the nickel-PTA complexes in a biphasic toluene/water mixture in an effort to initiate ethylene polymerization by trapping the dissociated phosphine ligand in the water layer, thereby eliminating the need for a phosphine scavenger. Unfortunately, because of the strong binding ability of the small, donating phosphine(PTA) as compared to PPh(3), phosphine dissociation did not occur at a temperature where the complexes are thermally stable.     

Perfluorinated membranes as catalyst supports

The perfluorinated polymer Nafion and porous PTFE/Nafion composite membranes have been employed as supports for nickel complexes or for platinum and palladium metal particles. The resultant materials have been employed as catalysts in various olefin conversion processes. Supported platinum and palladium metal systems were evaluated as catalysts for the hydrogenation of cyclohexene. Rates of reaction are better than those of commercially available catalysts; turnover numbers in excess of 6000 have been obtained with no poisoning apparent. Catalysts may be regenerated many times. The reduction rate approaches a limit at high pressures of hydrogen and has an activation energy of 13 kJ mol^?1 in neat cyclohexene. Nafion was employed as a strong acid cocatalyst to activate and then support a nickel complex catalyst. The resultant catalyst was active for double-bond-shift isomerization.     

Preparation of Phosphinated Polymer‐Incarcerated Palladium and Its Application to C?N and C?C Bond‐Forming Reactions

Phosphinated polymer‐incarcerated (PI) Pd catalysts were prepared by immobilization of palladium with phosphinated polymers by using the PI method. The phosphinated PI Pd catalysts showed good catalytic activity without externally added phosphine ligands in the amination of aryl halides for C N bond‐forming reactions, as well as in Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira coupling. No leaching of palladium from the immobilized Pd was observed by fluorescence X‐ray analysis. Furthermore, it was found that immobilization of Pd by the PI process facilitated the suppression of poisoning of the metal by amines. These effects can be ascribed to stabilization of the catalyst by both the phosphine moieties and the benzene rings in the swollen polymer support. The phosphinated PI Pd catalysts could also be recovered by simple filtration and reused several times without leaching of palladium in both the amination and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions.     

Ferrocene containing polymers

Polymers with pendent ferrocene units are synthesized by radical and anionic methods. It has been demonstrated that polymer-analogous reactions are an attractive alternative to prepare those polymers. Polymers with ferrocene units in the main chain are available from interfacial condensation reaction between ferrocene-1,1′-dicarbonic acid dichloride with α, ω-diamines. Addition of ferrocene-1,1′-dithiol onto norbornadiene yields a polymer with repeating units from ferrocene disulfide and norbornene and nortricyclane end-groups. End-capping reactions of α, ω-dimercapto-telechelics with vinylferrocene yield polymers with ferrocene end-groups.     

Preparation and characterization of macroporous polystyrene resins containing ethynyl groups and transition metal acetylide complexes

Ethynylated polystyrene resins were prepared as functionalized polymer supports by the iodination reaction of macroporous polystyrene resins and reacted with transition metal diethynyl complex (Mt = Ni) and metal halides (Mt = Rh, Pd, and Pt) in a basic solvent using cuprous iodide as a catalyst to obtain macroporous polystyrene resins containing organotransition metals. The distribution of the metal acetylide complexes in the modified macroporous resins was determined by an electron probe microanalyzer. A gradient in the transition metal distribution was observed in any case of the modified resins. The stability of the organotransition metal complexes in the polymer matrix could be compared with a low molecular weight analogous complex quantitatively.     

Effect of catalyst structure on the reaction of α-methylstyrene with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane

Reaction of α-methylstyrene with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane in the presence of the complexes of platinum(II), palladium(II) and rhodium(I) is explored. It is established that in the presence of platinum catalyst predominantly occurs hydrosilylation of α-methylstyrene leading to formation of β-adduct, on palladium catalysts proceeds reduction of α-methylstyrene, on rhodium catalysts both the processes take place. In the reaction mixture proceeds disproportion and dehydrocondensation of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane that leads to formation of long chain linear and cyclic siloxanes of general formula HMe₂Si(OSiMe₂) _n H and (-OSiMe₂-)m (n = 2–6, m = 3–7), respectively. Platinum catalysts promotes formation of linear siloxanes, while both rhodium and palladium catalysts afford linear and cyclic siloxanes as well. Structure of intermediate metallocomplexes is studied.

Nickel and palladium <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-heterocyclic carbene complexes. Synthesis and application in cross-coupling reactions

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used as ligands in catalysis by transition metal complexes. The catalytic activity of transition metal NHC complexes is much higher than that of the transition metal complexes bearing the phosphine and nitrogen-containing ligands. They show excellent catalytic performance in different transformations of the organic compounds, especially in the carbon—carbon and carbon—element bond forming reactions. Palladium NHC complexes are very efficient catalysts for the cross-coupling reactions. On the other hand, nickel is less expensive and regarded as a promising alternative to palladium and, therefore, it attracts increasing attention from the researches. The present review is focused on the recent advances in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of nickel and palladium and their application in catalysis of cross-coupling reactions of organic, organoelement and organometallic compounds with organic halides.     

Organometallic chemistry of azuliporphyrins: synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and structural characterization of nickel(II), palladium(II), and platinum(II) complexes of azuliporphyrins

Four azuliporphyrins, two meso-unsubstituted and two meso-tetraaryl substituted, were investigated in the synthesis of novel organometallic compounds. The meso-unsubstituted or "etio" series azuliporphyrins 8 reacted with nickel(II) acetate, palladium(II) acetate, and platinum(II) chloride in DMF to give the corresponding chelates 14-16, where the metal cation lies within the macrocyclic cavity and binds to all three nitrogens and the internal carbon atom. The newly available meso-tetraarylazuliporphyrins 13 similarly afforded the corresponding nickel(II), palladium(II), and platinum(II) complexes, 17-19, respectively. The new organometallic complexes are stable nonpolar compounds and were fully characterized spectroscopically and by mass spectrometry. The UV-vis data indicate that these complexes, in common with the parent azuliporphyrin system 8, do not possess porphyrin-type aromaticity. However, electron donation from the azulene unit can give rise to dipolar resonance contributors that provide a degree of carbaporphyrin-type aromatic character. The platinum(II) azuliporphyrins 16 gave noteworthy proton NMR spectra where the meso-protons showed satellite peaks due to transannular coupling to platinum-195. The pyrrolic protons of the platinum(II) meso-tetraarylazuliporphyrin 19b also showed similar satellite peaks due to coupling from the platinum-195 isotope. The electrochemistry of free base tetraphenylazuliporphyrin 13a and the related nickel(II) and palladium(II) complexes was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and these data indicate that metal coordination improves the reversibility of the ligand-based oxidations. Nickel(II) azuliporphyrin 14a and palladium(II) tetrakis(4-chlorophenyl)azuliporphyrin 18b were also structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The macrocyclic core of the palladium(II) complex 18b was significantly more planar than the nickel(II) derivative 14b, and this difference was attributed to the better size match between the azuliporphyrin cavity and the larger palladium(II) ion. The straightforward synthesis of metalloazuliporphyrins under mild conditions, and their interesting spectroscopic, electrochemical, and structural features, demonstrates that the azuliporphyrin system holds great promise as a platform for organometallic chemistry.     

The effects of structures and compositions of polymer-metal complexes on the hydroformylation of olefins

A number of linear and crosslinked polymer ligands containing P or N or S as coordinative atoms were prepared. The hydroformylation of olefins was carried out at mild conditions in the presence of complexes as catalysts which were made by complexation reactions of these ligands with various homogeneous complexes or metal salts. The obtained results were explained in terms of the influences of the polymer matrix, or the structures and compositions of the polymer chain, and the properties of polymer-metal complexes on activity and selectivity. The most important factor for enhancing the selectivity towards linear aldehyde lies in the properties of the polymer-metal complex. High selectivity up to 95% was obtained by using polymer phosphine ligand-Pt-Sn complexes as catalyst in the hydroformylation of olefins. The hydroformylation mechanisms were discussed.     

Nickel‐ and palladium‐catalyzed olefin polymerization under high pressures

The polymerization of 1‐hexene under high pressures (100–750 MPa) was investigated with nickel–α‐diimine complex/methylaluminoxane and palladium–α‐diimine complex/methylaluminoxane as catalyst systems. The catalytic activity of both the nickel and palladium complexes monotonously increased as pressure rose and became two to four times higher than that observed at atmospheric pressure. Palladium catalysts gave poly(1‐hexene)s with higher molecular weights under high pressure, whereas nickel‐catalyzed high‐pressure polymerizations gave polymers with higher molecular weights only at rather low monomer concentrations. The living‐like character in the palladium‐catalyzed polymerizations was somewhat enhanced under higher pressures, whereas the nickel‐catalyzed polymerizations under high pressures were not living. More branches were found in the polymers produced by nickel catalysts at higher pressures. The chain‐transfer reaction seemed to be accelerated by the high pressure in the nickel‐catalyzed reactions, although this was not apparent in the palladium‐catalyzed reactions. Dimers formed and were accompanied by high molecular weight polymers when nickel catalysts were used under high pressures and at high monomer concentrations. The possibility that very congested five‐coordinated species act as key intermediates for the dimerization is discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An infrared study on the chemisorption of tertiary phosphines on coinage and platinum group metal surfaces

The chemisorption of dimethylphenyl-, methyldiphenyl- and triphenylphosphine on evaporated gold, silver, copper, rhodium, iridium, palladium, platinum and nickel surfaces has been studied by means of infrared reflection–absorption spectroscopy (IRAS). Multilayers of physisorbed phosphine are formed on the surfaces of all metals studied except nickel after deposition from dilute toluene solution. The deposition rate varies for different metal surfaces and it is sometimes quite slow. The standard immersion time was 20 h in this study to secure that an equilibrium between the surface and the solution is reached. Several minutes of ultrasonic treatment are required to get rid of the physisorbed phosphine, leaving a very thin layer of chemisorbed phosphine on the metal surface. Most of the absorption bands in IRAS spectra of these thin layers show significant shifts, which are especially large for dimethylphenylphosphine. It is evident that the electron distribution in the entire phosphine molecules is changed and that the chemisorption to the coinage and platinum group metal surfaces is strong. Infrared spectra of coordination compounds of gold(I), silver(I) and copper(I) with dimethylphenyl-, methyldiphenyl- and triphenylphosphine and of the corresponding phosphine oxides have served as reference material for the chemisorbed phosphines. The spectra of the coordination compounds show similar shifts and intensity changes as the IRAS spectra of tertiary phosphines chemisorbed on the coinage and platinum group metals. This suggests that the studied phosphines are as strongly bound to the coinage and platinum group metal surfaces as to the monovalent coinage metal ions known to form very stable complexes with tertiary phosphines.

Matrix isolation infrared spectroscopic and theoretical study of nickel, palladium, and platinum nitrous oxide complexes

Binary nickel, palladium, and platinum nitrous oxide complexes Ni(NNO)x, Pd(NNO)x (x = 1, 2), and PtNNO have been produced by the reactions of laser-evaporated metal atoms with nitrous oxide in solid argon. The complexes were identified on the basis of isotopically substituted infrared absorptions as well as theoretical frequency calculations. These complexes were characterized to have structures with the terminal N atom of N(2)O bound to the metal atoms. The MNNO complexes are photosensitive and rearrange to OMNN or MO + N(2) upon ultraviolet-visible irradiation.     

Complex containing a Lewis acid and Brønsted acid for the catalytic reactions of aza-Michael addition

The novel efficient complex catalyst containing a Lewis acid and a Brønsted acid have been prepared by the reaction of proline ion liquid and cuprous iodide. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR techniques using pyridine as probe molecule. A fast, mild, and quantitative procedure for aza-Michael addition reactions between various amines and α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and nitriles has been developed using the novel complex catalyst. The results showed that the novel catalyst owned high activities for the reactions with excellent yields within 1 min.     

Synthesis, structure, theoretical studies, and Ligand exchange reactions of monomeric, T-shaped arylpalladium(II) halide complexes with an additional, weak agostic interaction

A series of monomeric arylpalladium(II) complexes LPd(Ph)X (L = 1-AdPtBu2, PtBu3, or Ph5FcPtBu2 (Q-phos); X = Br, I, OTf) containing a single phosphine ligand have been prepared. Oxidative addition of aryl bromide or aryl iodide to bis-ligated palladium(0) complexes of bulky, trialkylphosphines or to Pd(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylidene acetone) in the presence of 1 equiv of phosphine produced the corresponding arylpalladium(II) complexes in good yields. In contrast, oxidative addition of phenyl chloride to the bis-ligated palladium(0) complexes did not produce arylpalladium(II) complexes. The oxidative addition of phenyl triflate to PdL2 (L = 1-AdPtBu2, PtBu3, or Q-phos) also did not form arylpalladium(II) complexes. The reaction of silver triflate with (1-AdPtBu2)Pd(Ph)Br furnished the corresponding arylpalladium(II) triflate in good yield. The oxidative addition of phenyl bromide and iodide to Pd(Q-phos)2 was faster than oxidative addition to Pd(1-AdPtBu2)2 or Pd(PtBu3)2. Several of the arylpalladium complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction. All of the arylpalladium(II) complexes are T-shaped monomers. The phenyl ligand, which has the largest trans influence, is located trans to the open coordination site. The complexes appear to be stabilized by a weak agostic interaction of the metal with a ligand C-H bond positioned at the fourth-coordination site of the palladium center. The strength of the Pd.H bond, as assessed by tools of density functional theory, depended upon the donating properties of the ancillary ligands on palladium.     

A facile route for preparing a mesoporous palladium coordination polymer as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst

To overcome the separation difficulty of the palladium-based homogeneous catalyst, the palladium complex can be anchored on various supports such as silica, polymers and nanoparticles. For the same purpose, we describe a general and facile method to immobilize palladium bis(phosphine) complexes on the basis of the technique widely used for metal-organic framework (MOF) synthesis, yielding a mesoporous coordination polymer palladium-CP1. Although palladium complexes are generally not stable enough to allow further manipulation, we succeeded in preparation of a palladium coordination polymer without by-product Pd clusters or nanoparticles. The fresh palladium-CP1 catalyst exhibits a yield close to 55% for tolane at room temperature and 24 h in Sonogashira coupling of iodobenzene and phenylacetylene, as compared with a yield of 89% for its homogeneous counterpart [Pd(PPh(3))(2)Cl(2)]. Furthermore, this catalyst is stable enough to be reused more than four times with no Pd and Zn leaching. Therefore this new immobilization method offers great promise for the produce of recyclable palladium heterogeneous catalysts with higher activity and higher thermal and chemical stability in the future.

Preparation, spectral and biological investigation of formaldehyde-based ligand containing piperazine moiety and its various polymer metal complexes

A novel tetradentate salicylic acid-formaldehyde ligand containing piperazine moiety (SFP) was synthesized by condensation of salicylic acid, formaldehyde and piperazine in presence of base catalyst, which was subjected for the preparation of coordination polymers with metal ions like manganese(II), cobalt(II), copper(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II). All the synthesized polymeric compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, (1)H NMR and electronic spectral studies. The thermal stability was determined by thermogravimetric analysis and thermal data revealed that all the polymer metal complexes show good thermal stability than their parent ligand. Electronic spectral data and magnetic moment values revealed that polymer metal complexes of Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) show an octahedral geometry while Cu(II) and Zn(II) show distorted octahedral and tetrahedral geometry respectively. The antimicrobial screening of the ligand and coordination polymers was done by using Agar well diffusion method against various bacteria and fungi. It was evident from the data that antibacterial and antifungal activity increased on chelation and all the polymer metal complexes show excellent antimicrobial activity than their parent ligand.
