Selective H/D Exchange in E-H (E = Si, Ge, Sn) Bonds Catalyzed by 1,2,3-Triazolylidene-Stabilized Nickel Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Nickel nanoparticles (Ni·MIC) stabilized with mesoionic 1,2,3-triazolylidene (MIC) ligands were prepared via decomposition of the [Ni(COD)₂] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) complex with H₂ (3 bar) in the presence of 0.2 or 0.5 equiv of ligand. The obtained monodisperse and small-sized (3.2-3.8 nm) nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM, HRTEM) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis. Further analysis of the nickel nanoparticles by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated the coordination of the MIC ligands to the metal surface. Finally, the Ni·MIC nanoparticles were applied in the isotopic H/D exchange in hydrides of group 14 elements (Si, Ge, Sn) using D₂ gas under relatively mild conditions (1
