Bite-angle bending as a key for understanding group-10 metal reactivity of d10-[M(NHC)2] complexes with sterically modest NHC ligands.

ABSTRACT: Synthesis, characterization and investigations on the reactivity of the novel metal basic, yet isolable 14 VE NHC-complexes [M0(iPr2Im)2] (M = Pd 3, Pt 4; iPr2Im = 1,3-di-isopropyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene; VE = valence electron; NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) is reported and compared to the chemistry of the corresponding nickel complex. Quantum chemical analyses reveal that differences in the reactivity of group 10 NHC complexes are caused by differences in the rigidity and thus activation strain associated with bending the corresponding d10-[M(NHC)2] fragments during reaction. These results should have implications for the understanding of the fundamental steps in catalytic cycles, in which such complex fragments are employed.

Formation of CNHC∧Calkyl and CNHC∧Caryl κ2-Chelate Complexes through Competitive sp3- and sp2-CH Activations: An Experimental and Computational Study.

Project description:Depending on the chelate ring present, cyclometalated complexes are useful catalysts for various reactions. The reactivity of IrIII and RhIII NHC complexes bearing aliphatic or aromatic N,N'-substituents and thus featuring various metalation sites toward cyclometalation has been investigated. The RhIII complex bearing an N-mesityl-N'-benzyl-NHC does not participate in any cyclometalation, while the IrIII complex reacts under metalation of an ortho-methyl group of the Mes substituent to give complex [3] with a six-membered chelate ring. The RhIII and IrIII complexes bearing an N-o-tolyl,N-benzyl-NHC undergo sp2-CH activation to yield the cyclometalated complexes [4] and [5] featuring a five-membered CNHC∧C chelate ring. Density functional theory (DFT) studies corroborated the experimental findings.

NHC-Stabilized Au10 Nanoclusters and Their Conversion to Au25 Nanoclusters.

Project description:Herein, we describe the synthesis of a toroidal Au10 cluster stabilized by N-heterocyclic carbene and halide ligands via reduction of the corresponding NHC-Au-X complexes (X = Cl, Br, I). The significant effect of the halide ligands on the formation, stability, and further conversions of these clusters is presented. While solutions of the chloride derivatives of Au10 show no change even upon heating, the bromide derivative readily undergoes conversion to form a biicosahedral Au25 cluster at room temperature. For the iodide derivative, the formation of a significant amount of Au25 was observed even upon the reduction of NHC-Au-I. The isolated bromide derivative of the Au25 cluster displays a relatively high (ca. 15%) photoluminescence quantum yield, attributed to the high rigidity of the cluster, which is enforced by multiple CH-π interactions within the molecular structure. Density functional theory computations are used to characterize the electronic structure and optical absorption of the Au10 cluster. 13C-Labeling is employed to assist with characterization of the products and to observe their conversions by NMR spectroscopy.

Vibrational Predissociation Spectra of C2 N- and C3 N- : Bending and Stretching Vibrations.

Project description:We present infrared predissociation spectra of C2 N- (H2 ) and C 3 N- (H2 ) in the 300-1850 cm-1 range. Measurements were performed using the FELion cryogenic ion trap end user station at the Free Electron Lasers for Infrared eXperiments (FELIX) laboratory. For C2 N- (H2 ), we detected the CCN bending and CC-N stretching vibrations. For the C3 N- (H2 ) system, we detected the CCN bending, the CC-CN stretching, and multiple overtones and/or combination bands. The assignment and interpretation of the presented experimental spectra is validated by calculations of anharmonic spectra within the vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) approach, based on potential energy surfaces calculated at explicitly correlated coupled cluster theory (CCSD(T)-F12/cc-pVTZ-F12). The H2 tag acts as an innocent spectator, not significantly affecting the C2,3 N- bending and stretching mode positions. The recorded infrared predissociation spectra can thus be used as a proxy for the vibrational spectra of the bare anions.

The reaction of rhenium nitrosyl with a sterically hindered NHC-carbene.

Project description:In this article, we present the serendipitous synthesis of the unknown Re(I) complex [(OPPh3)Re(NO)2Cl3] (3) that we obtained reacting the Re(V) complex trans-[(PPh3)2ReOCl3] (1) with NO gas in presence of CH3COOH. We found that 3 reacts with 1,3-bis (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) to yield a stable oximate-Re(III) complex [(OPPh3)Re(NO)(ONIMes)Cl3] (4). We speculate that the IMes reacts with a bent NO, because the DFT calculations excluded the formation of both dimeric and η2-NO complexes in solution. The reactivity of the NO toward the carbene is probably due to an internal fluxional process in which the NO passes from linear to bent, triggered by the π-electrons given by the three chlorides to the Re through the mesomeric effect.

Bond-bending isomerism of Au2I3-: competition between covalent bonding and aurophilicity.

Project description:We report a joint photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical investigation of the gaseous Au2I3- cluster, which is found to exhibit two types of isomers due to competition between Au-I covalent bonding and Au-Au aurophilic interactions. The covalent bonding favors a bent IAuIAuI- structure with an obtuse Au-I-Au angle (100.7°), while aurophilic interactions pull the two Au atoms much closer, leading to an acutely bent structure (72.0°) with an Au-Au distance of 3.08 Å. The two isomers are separated by a small barrier and are nearly degenerate with the obtuse isomer being slightly more stable. At low temperature, only the obtuse isomer is observed; distinct experimental evidence is observed for the co-existence of a combination of isomers with both acute and obtuse bending angles at room temperature. The two bond-bending isomers of Au2I3- reveal a unique example of one molecule being able to oscillate between different structures as a result of two competing chemical forces.

Cs[Cl3 F10 ]: A Propeller-Shaped [Cl3 F10 ]- Anion in a Peculiar A[5] B[5] Structure Type.

Project description:Reaction of CsF with ClF3 leads to Cs[Cl3 F10 ]. It contains a molecular, propeller-shaped [Cl3 F10 ]- anion with a central μ3 -F atom and three T-shaped ClF3 molecules coordinated to it. This anion represents the first example of a heteropolyhalide anion of higher ClF3 content than [ClF4 ]- and is the first Cl-containing interhalogen species with a μ-bridging F atom. The chemical bonds to the central μ3 -F atom are highly ionic and quite weak as the bond lengths within the coordinating XF3 units (X = Cl, and also calculated for Br, I) are almost unchanged in comparison to free XF3 molecules. Cs[Cl3 F10 ] crystallizes in a very rarely observed A[5] B[5] structure type, where cations and anions are each pseudohexagonally close packed, and reside, each with coordination number five, in the trigonal bipyramidal voids of the other.

A T-shaped Ni[κ2-(CF2)4-] NHC complex: unusual Csp3 -F and M-CF bond functionalization reactions.

Project description:A T-shaped octafluoronickelacyclopentane-NHC complex is prepared and characterized. While the solid-state structure includes a weak isopropyl-CH3 agostic interaction, the reactivity of this complex with Lewis- and Brønsted acids is clearly enhanced by its low coordination number. Reaction with Me3SiOTf, for example, yielded a rare metal-heptafluorocyclobutyl complex whereas carboxylic acids gave substitution at the α-carbon and/or Ni-CF bond protonolysis to afford thermally robust 4H-octafluorobutyl Ni complexes.

Case Study of N-i Pr versus N-Mes Substituted NHC Ligands in Nickel Chemistry: The Coordination and Cyclotrimerization of Alkynes at [Ni(NHC)2 ].

Project description:A case study on the effect of the employment of two different NHC ligands in complexes [Ni(NHC)2 ] (NHC=i Pr2 ImMe 1Me , Mes2 Im 2) and their behavior towards alkynes is reported. The reaction of a mixture of [Ni2 (i Pr2 ImMe )4 (μ-(η2 : η2 )-COD)] B/ [Ni(i Pr2 ImMe )2 (η4 -COD)] B' or [Ni(Mes2 Im)2 ] 2, respectively, with alkynes afforded complexes [Ni(NHC)2 (η2 -alkyne)] (NHC=i Pr2 ImMe : alkyne=MeC≡CMe 3, H7 C3 C≡CC3 H7 4, PhC≡CPh 5, MeOOCC≡CCOOMe 6, Me3 SiC≡CSiMe3 7, PhC≡CMe 8, HC≡CC3 H7 9, HC≡CPh 10, HC≡C(p-Tol) 11, HC≡C(4-t Bu-C6 H4 ) 12, HC≡CCOOMe 13; NHC=Mes2 Im: alkyne=MeC≡CMe 14, MeOOCC≡CCOOMe 15, PhC≡CMe 16, HC≡C(4-t Bu-C6 H4 ) 17, HC≡CCOOMe 18). Unusual rearrangement products 11 a and 12 a were identified for the complexes of the terminal alkynes HC≡C(p-Tol) and HC≡C(4-t Bu-C6 H4 ), 11 and 12, which were formed by addition of a C-H bond of one of the NHC N-i Pr methyl groups to the C≡C triple bond of the coordinated alkyne. Complex 2 catalyzes the cyclotrimerization of 2-butyne, 4-octyne, diphenylacetylene, dimethyl acetylendicarboxylate, 1-pentyne, phenylacetylene and methyl propiolate at ambient conditions, whereas 1Me is not a good catalyst. The reaction of 2 with 2-butyne was monitored in some detail, which led to a mechanistic proposal for the cyclotrimerization at [Ni(NHC)2 ]. DFT calculations reveal that the differences between 1M e and 2 for alkyne cyclotrimerization lie in the energy profile of the initiation steps, which is very shallow for 2, and each step is associated with only a moderate energy change. The higher stability of 3 compared to 14 is attributed to a better electron transfer from the NHC to the metal to the alkyne ligand for the N-alkyl substituted NHC, to enhanced Ni-alkyne backbonding due to a smaller CNHC -Ni-CNHC bite angle, and to less steric repulsion of the smaller NHC i Pr2 ImMe .

Radiofluorination of a NHC-PF5 adduct: toward new probes for 18F PET imaging.

Project description:The radiofluorination of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) phosphorus(v) fluoride adducts has been investigated. The results show that the IMe-PF5 derivative (IMe = 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) undergoes a Lewis acid promoted 18F-19F isotopic exchange. The resulting radiofluorinated probe is remarkably resistant to hydrolysis both in vitro as well as in vivo.

Stabilization of Linear C3 by Two Donor Ligands: A Theoretical Study of L-C3 -L (L=PPh3 , NHCMe , cAACMe )*.

Project description:Quantum chemical studies using density functional theory and ab initio methods have been carried out for the molecules L-C3 -L with L=PPh3 (1), NHCMe (2, NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene), and cAACMe (3, cAAC=cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene). The calculations predict that 1 and 2 have equilibrium geometries where the ligands are bonded with rather acute bonding angles at the linear C3 moiety. The phosphine adduct 1 has a synclinal (gauche) conformation whereas 2 exhibits a trans conformation of the ligands. In contrast, the compound 3 possesses a nearly linear arrangement of the carbene ligands at the C3 fragment. The bond dissociation energies of the ligands have the order 1<2<3. The bonding analysis using charge and energy decomposition methods suggests that 3 is best described as a cumulene with electron-sharing double bonds between neutral fragments (cAACMe )2 and C3 in the respective electronic quintet state yielding (cAACMe )=C3 =(cAACMe ). In contrast, 1 and 2 possess electron-sharing and dative bonds between positively charged ligands [(PPh3 )2 ]+ or [(NHCMe )2 ]+ and negatively charged [C3 ]- fragments in the respective doublet state.
