Ternary Alkali Metal Transition Metal Acetylides

The first alkali metal transition metal acetylides of general composition A₂M⁰C₂ (A = Na ? Cs, M⁰ = Pd, Pt) were obtained by solid state reactions of alkali metal acetylides with palladium and platinum. They are characterized by chains, which are separated by alkali metal ions. Analogous chains also separated by alkali metal ions are the characteristic structural feature of acetylides of composition AM^IC₂, which are accessible by reacting AC₂H with M^II in liquid ammonia (A = Li ? Cs, M^I = Cu, Ag, Au). Despite their structural similarities they possess different properties, as acetylides of composition A₂M⁰C₂ are semiconductors with very small indirect band gaps and slightly extended C–C distances compared to a C–C triple bond, whereas acetylides of composition AM^IC₂ show a typical salt‐like behavior with C–C distances close to the expected value for a C–C triple bond of 120 pm. But with the help of simple chemical models these differences can be made plausible. Furthermore, it is shown that only by a combination of different methods (powder diffraction with X‐rays and neutrons, solid state NMR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy) it was possible to characterize this new class of compounds structurally and chemically.     

One-Pot Synthesis of High-Strained Metal Vinylidene and Metal Carbyne

A novel one-pot reaction producing a metal vinylidene structure in a five-membered ring by cyclization of a multiyne has been achieved. The ring strain and the high stability of the cyclic metal vinylidene complexes have been analyzed experimentally and computationally. The metal vinylidene unit in a fused-ring complex is unreactive to both nucleophiles and electrophiles. It reacts however at the nearby carbonyl group achieving the unprecedented conversion of metal tributing factors for the aromaticity-driven process has been studied by DFT calculations.     

Reactions of Metal Salts and Alkali Metal Nitrates. Role of the Metal Precursors and Alkali Metal Ions in the Resulting Phase of Zirconia

Zirconia powders are prepared by reaction of a zirconium precursor with an alkali metal nitrate. The major part of the reactions takes place before the melting points and then the reactions go slowly to completion at 450°C in the molten salts. The roles of the precursor and the alkali metal ion are discussed considering the reaction between two precursors, octahydrated zirconium oxychloride and zirconium tetrachloride, and two nitrates, LiNO₃ and NaNO₃, and some resulting physico-chemical differences. The obtained zirconia powders contain very small amounts of alkali metal ions which act as stabilizing agent. Their effect on the balance tetragonal-monoclinic ZrO₂ depends upon the homogeneity of their distribution which is related to their ability to diffuse inside the bulk of particles and their polarizing power when located mainly on the surface.

Metal/Metal Redox Isomerism Governed by Configuration

A pair of diastereomeric dinuclear complexes, [Tp′(CO)BrW{μ-η²-C,C′-κ²-S,P-C₂(PPh₂)S}Ru(η⁵-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)], in which W and Ru are bridged by a phosphinyl(thiolato)alkyne in a side-on carbon P,S-chelate coordination mode, were synthesized, separated and fully characterized. Even though the isomers are similar in their spectroscopic properties and redox potentials, the like-isomer is oxidized at W while the unlike-isomer is oxidized at Ru, which is proven by IR, NIR and EPR-spectroscopy supported by spectro-electrochemistry and computational methods. The second oxidation of the complexes was shown to take place at the metal left unaffected in the first redox step. Finally, the tipping point could be realized in the unlike isomer of the electronically tuned thiophenolate congener [Tp′(CO)(PhS)W{μ-η²-C,C′-κ²-S,P-C₂(PPh₂)S}Ru(η⁵-C₅H₅)-(PPh₃)], in which valence trapped W^III/Ru^II and W^II/Ru^III cationic species are at equilibrium.

Effect of the Metal within Regioisomeric Paddle-Wheel-Type Metal–Organic Frameworks

The effect of metal on the degree of flexibility upon evacuation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been revealed with positional control of the organic functionalities. Although Co-, Cu-, and Zn-based DMOFs (DMOF = DABCO MOF, DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) with ortho-ligands (2,3-NH₂Cl) have frameworks that are inflexible upon evacuation, MOFs with para-ligands (2,5-NH₂Cl) showed different N₂ uptake amounts after evacuation by metal exchange. Considering that the structural analyses were not fully sufficiently different to explain the drastic changes in N₂ adsorption after evacuation, quantum chemical simulation was explored. A new index (η) was defined to quantify the regularity around the metal based on differences in the oxygen-metal-oxygen angles. Within 2,5-NH₂Cl, the η value becomes larger as the metal are varied from Co to Zn. A large η value means that the structures around the metal center are less ordered. These results can be used to explain flexibility changes upon evacuation by altering the metal cation in this regioisomeric system.     

Metal Redox Processes for the Controlled Synthesis of Metal Alloy Nanoparticles

Nanocrystalline metals have received widespread interest and found various applications owing to their magnetic and catalytic properties and in energy‐related fields. A flexible approach for the growth of nanoalloys with controlled properties and well‐defined structures on the atomic scale is thus greatly desired. A new synthetic method that avoids incompatible reduction potentials and rates would be critical to grow metal nanostructures with high purities and the desired stoichiometries. A metal‐redox strategy that employs spontaneous oxidation/reduction reactions to grow nanocrystalline alloys using molecular‐scale zerovalent metal precursors is now described. The selection of suitable zerovalent metal species allows for thermodynamic control of the compositional stoichiometry during the temperature‐dependent formation of the metal alloy nanoparticles. A practical and scalable strategy for nanoalloy growth that can potentially produce key metal components of superior metallurgical quality for catalytic and magnetic systems has thus been developed.

Recent Studies of the Synthesis and Reactivity of Group 6 and 7 Transition Metal Compounds with Metal–Metal Bonds

Metal–metal bonded dinuclear compounds of Group 6 and 7 transition metals with several primary structural motifs and their reactivity toward halides and organic molecules are reviewed. The reactivities of dinuclear compounds of Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Tc, and Re are discussed in context with reaction types (ligand metathesis, oxidative addition), the types of ligands (carbon, sulfur or nitrogen containing), or the ligand substituted in the original starting material (carbonyl). Since the depth and breadth of the chemistry is extensive, the categories are fairly general and some overlap between ligand types and reaction types occurs. A brief history followed by recent studies of each of these transition metal centers provides a general overview of the reactivity of these metal–metal bonded systems.
