For decades, transition-metal catalysts based on noble metals have proven to be highly efficient for a wide range of organic transformations. However, due to their low abundance and highly volatile price the use of such metals is now critical for the economy. Thus, the use of more sustainable alternatives is mandatory and the more abundant first-row transition metals are becoming interesting challengers. Among them low-valent 3d transition metals appeared as the best candidates, as they are intrinsically more reactive than high-valent ones. However, this reactivity implies that these complexes are often generated in situ, putting further away the aspect of atom economy and low waste. To circumvent this and to get more insight on the mechanism of reaction, the concept of well-defined complexes has emerged. In this area, due to its historic development and the trouble associated with the preparation of other well-defined 3d transition-metal complexes, cobalt appears as an important player. In this review, after a definition of what is a low-valent complex and the presentation of the concept of a well-defined (pre)catalyst also known as the “single-component” strategy we will report the syntheses and applications in catalysis of low-valent well-defined cobalt complexes classified by their oxidation state and ligand environment.
几十年来,以贵金属为基础的过渡金属催化剂已被证明可高效地进行各种有机转化。然而,由于其储量低且价格极不稳定,这类金属的使用现在对经济至关重要。因此,必须使用更具可持续性的替代品,而储量更丰富的第一排过渡金属正成为令人感兴趣的挑战者。其中,低价 3d 过渡金属似乎是最佳候选者,因为与高价金属相比,它们本质上更具反应性。然而,这种反应性意味着这些络合物通常是在原位生成的,从而进一步降低了原子经济性和低废物方面的要求。为了避免这种情况,并更深入地了解反应机理,出现了定义明确的络合物概念。在这一领域,由于钴的历史发展以及制备其他定义明确的 3d 过渡金属配合物的麻烦,钴显得尤为重要。在本综述中,在定义了什么是低价配合物以及介绍了定义明确的(预)催化剂(也称为 "单组分 "策略)的概念之后,我们将报告按氧化态和配体环境分类的低价定义明确的钴配合物的合成及其在催化中的应用。

Tris(cyclometalated) chromium(III) complexes fac-Cr(C∧X)3 with dimethylamine (X = NMe2, fac-1) and diphenylphosphane (X = PPh2, fac-2) donors were fully characterized by single crystal X-ray structure analyses, cyclic voltammetry, and absorption/emission spectroscopy. Both complexes are luminescent in the near-infrared spectral region in the solid state or in frozen solution. The phosphane complex fac-2 is hemilabile and forms a weakly emissive, five-coordinate complex with a dangling PPh2 donor in fluid solution. Spectroscopic assignments are aided by quantum chemical calculations at the DFT and CASSCF/NEVPT2 levels of theory. fac-1 and fac-2 complement the cyclometalated pyridine complex fac-Cr(ppy)3 (ppy– = deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine) and allow establishment of a nephelauxetic series of aryl, pyridine, phosphane, and amine donors.

C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond formation is gaining more prominence, especially with a growing emphasis on building three-dimensional chemical space in bioactive molecules, fine chemicals, and agrichemicals. Metallaphotoredox catalysis has emerged as an effective strategy for designing processes using diverse C(sp3) precursors well suited for 1e– radical chemistry. This review summarizes the latest advancement in metallaphotoredox catalysis, addressing the long-standing challenges in C(sp3)–C(sp3) cross-coupling, with a focus on the classification of reactions based on the distinct modes of activation of C(sp3) precursor upon entering the catalytic cycle.

TMS-substituted alkynes are versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. Traditional synthesis involves alkyne deprotonation and the reaction with TMSCl. Recently, TMS-acetylene has become an increasingly inexpensive bulk chemical, offering an attractive alternative to accessing TMS-substituted alkynes, especially when the alkyne is expensive or not commercially available. However, this route has been established with carcinogenic HMPA as a cosolvent. In this work, we disclose optimized conditions utilizing DMPU as a substitute for HMPA.

Reported herein are the synthesis and characterization of mono- and bis-alkenyl CoIII(TIM) (TIM = 2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene) complexes along with products containing a 1-aza-2-cobalt-cyclopropane unit. The trans-[Co(TIM)(C(CH2)Ar)Cl]+-type (Ar = phenyl (Ph, 1a), −C6H4-4-tBu (1b), and −C6F5 (1c)), trans-[Co(TIM)(C(CH2)Ar)2]+-type (Ar = Ph (2a) and −C6F5 (2c)), and trans-[Co(TIM″)(C(CH3)Ar)Cl]+-type complexes (Ar = Ph (3a) and −C6H4-4-tBu (3b); TIM″ is the resultant derivative of TIM) were prepared from the reaction between trans-[Co(TIM)Cl2]PF6 and the corresponding terminal aryl alkyne in the presence of NaBH4. Molecular structures of 1a/c, 2a/c, and 3a were established via single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Characterization using 1H NMR further confirmed the occurrence of either an alkenyl (1 and 2) or 1-aza-2-cobalt-cyclopropane (3). The absorption spectra of 1 and 3 reveal differences in the optical HOMO–LUMO gaps with well-defined d–d bands at 477 and 512 nm for 1a and 3a, respectively. Cyclic voltammograms of 1 and 2 consist of an irreversible oxidation and an irreversible reduction characteristic of the CoIII center, while those of 3 display two reduction events. Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the bonding and electronic structures of 1a–3a. Natural bonding orbital calculations on 3a suggest significant stabilization in donor → acceptor resonance-type interactions afforded by the 1-aza-2-cobalt-cyclopropane unit.

A C,N-bidentate hybrid benzothiazolyl-NHC ligand (L) with a flexible −CH2– linker between the two moieties is devised. Classical deprotonation of the corresponding imidazolium bromide LHBr by M2O (M = Cu, Ag) affords the [(L)MBr] complexes 1 (M = Cu) and 2 (M = Ag), where the ligand L is monodentate by binding through the NHC only. A transmetalation with [Rh(COD)2]BF4 from both gives the cationic Rh(I) complex [(L)Rh(COD)]BF4 (3), which turns out to be a decent air-stable catalyst for olefin hydrosilylation giving anti-Markovnikov addition products under ambient benchtop conditions.

Phenoxy-imine NON pro-ligands HR,DippL [1-OH-2,6-(HC═NDipp)-4-R-C6H2, where R = H, Me, or tBu] were deprotonated using KH to afford the corresponding potassium salts R,DippLK·thfx [R = H (1·thfx), Me (2·thfx), and tBu (3·thfx)]. The addition of crown ether (18-c-6) to these salts allowed for the structures of the resulting adducts to be elucidated in the solid state: [1(18-c-6)]n, [2(18-c-6)]n, and [3(18-c-6)(thf)]. The derivatives with the smaller para-substituents were found to be 1D coordination polymers stabilized by unusual non-covalent interactions between the diisopropyl-methyl groups and the potassium center. Heteroleptic calcium complexes R,DippLCaI(thf)3 [R = H (4), Me (5), and tBu (6)] were prepared by the salt metathesis reaction of 1–3·thfx with CaI2. Complexes 4–6 were evaluated as initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide monomers and were all found to be active; the addition of benzyl alcohol resulted in large rate increases, e.g., ∼12-fold difference for 6 (0.70 vs 0.06 h–1). The propagation rate constants were found to lie within the range 88–135 M–1 h–1. Variation of co-initiator concentration revealed only a fractional dependence; this agrees with the other experimental observations, which suggest that the heteroleptic catalysts work via a “ligand-assisted, activated monomer” mechanism.

A series of six-coordinate, idealized octahedral phenoxyimine (FI)–cobalt(III) dimethyl bis(trimethylphosphine) complexes was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The thermal stability of the parent Ph-FI complex was evaluated at 60 °C in benzene-d6, and a 13(1):1 ratio of ethane to methane was observed. The major detectable cobalt product of this reaction was the bis(chelate) cobalt derivative (Ph-FI)2Co formed by disproportionation of the (FI)cobalt(I) product following ethane reductive elimination. Addition of excess PMe3 inhibited C(sp3)–C(sp3) reductive elimination, consistent with phosphine dissociation preceding C–C bond formation from a five-coordinate (FI)cobalt(III) dimethyl intermediate. The reductive elimination of substituted (R-FI)cobalt(III) dimethyl bis(trimethylphosphine) compounds was evaluated in acetonitrile-d3, where ligands bearing electron-donating aniline substituents underwent reductive elimination the fastest and electron-withdrawing substituents the slowest. These data support a buildup of positive charge in the rate-limiting step, consistent with the formation of a more electropositive five-coordinate cobalt center prior to rate-limiting C–C reductive elimination. Attempted synthesis of a cobalt(III) dimethyl complex bearing a sterically hindered FI ligand with a tert-butyl substituent ortho to the phenol led exclusively to the corresponding bis(chelate) cobalt derivative, whose formation was rationalized by steric destabilization of pre–reductive elimination intermediates.
合成了一系列六配位理想化八面体苯氧亚胺(FI)-二甲基双(三甲基膦)钴(III)配合物,并通过核磁共振光谱和单晶 X 射线衍射对其进行了表征。在 60 °C 的苯-d6 中评估了母体 Ph-FI 复合物的热稳定性,观察到乙烷与甲烷的比例为 13(1):1。该反应中可检测到的主要钴产物是乙烷还原消除后,(FI)钴(I)产物歧化形成的双(螯合)钴衍生物 (Ph-FI)2Co。过量 PMe3 的加入抑制了 C(sp3)-C(sp3)的还原消除,这与五配位 (FI) 钴(III)二甲基中间体在形成 C-C 键之前膦解离是一致的。在乙腈-d3 中对取代的 (R-FI)钴(III)二甲基双(三甲基膦)化合物的还原消除进行了评估,在这些化合物中,带有捐电子苯胺取代基的配体的还原消除速度最快,而带有抽电子取代基的配体的还原消除速度最慢。这些数据支持在限速步骤中积累正电荷,这与在限速 C-C 还原消除之前形成电性更强的五配位钴中心相一致。在尝试合成一种钴(III)二甲基配合物时,发现该配合物带有一个立体受阻的 FI 配体,该配体在苯酚的正上方带有一个叔丁基取代基,因此只能得到相应的双(螯合物)钴衍生物,而这种钴衍生物的形成是由于还原消除前中间体的立体不稳定性造成的。

Attempted synthesis of a cobalt(III) dimethyl complex bearing a sterically hindered FI ligand with a <i>tert</i>-butyl substituent <i>ortho</i> to the phenol led exclusively to the corresponding bis(chelate) cobalt derivative, whose formation was rationalized by steric destabilization of pre–reductive elimination intermediates.</p>","PeriodicalId":56,"journal":{"name":"Organometallics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140573017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reason for the discrepancy in reaction rate in hydrogenation reactions using cyclopentadienone iron complexes as catalysts, depending on the absence or presence of a negative charge-tag (sulfonate or phosphonate), was investigated experimentally. Based on NMR and kinetic experiments, the direct binding of the charge-tag to the active site of the catalyst and electric field effects influencing transition state energies could be excluded. Preactivation of the catalysts as the monoacetonitrile dicarbonyl complexes was found to be superior to the in situ activation of the tricarbonyl complex with trimethylamine oxide with an up to 32-fold rate enhancement. CO ligand removal from the tricarbonyl iron complexes with Me3NO was found to be disfavored in protic solvents compared to polar, aprotic solvents. Micelle formation was observed for the negatively charge-tagged complexes, with critical micelle concentrations in the range of 1.75–17 mM depending on the alkali metal counterion. The presence of the tertiary amine moiety in the charge-tagged catalyst was found to be responsible for the decrease in reaction rate. The presence of micelles was found to increase the reaction rate compared to noncharged complexes bearing a tertiary amine group.
实验研究了使用环戊二烯酮铁络合物作为催化剂的氢化反应中,反应速率因负电荷标记(磺酸盐或膦酸盐)的存在与否而存在差异的原因。根据核磁共振和动力学实验,可以排除电荷标签与催化剂活性位点的直接结合以及影响过渡态能量的电场效应。研究发现,催化剂作为单乙腈二羰基络合物的预活化效果优于三羰基络合物与氧化三甲胺的原位活化效果,其速率可提高 32 倍。与极性烷基溶剂相比,在原生质溶剂中,用 Me3NO 从三羰基铁络合物中去除 CO 配体的效果较差。负电荷标记的络合物可形成胶束,临界胶束浓度在 1.75-17 mM 之间,具体取决于碱金属反离子。研究发现,电荷标记催化剂中叔胺分子的存在是导致反应速率降低的原因。与带有叔胺基团的不带电复合物相比,胶束的存在提高了反应速率。

While alkyne metathesis reactions involving d0 carbynes (alkylidynes) are well documented, those involving well-defined non-d0 carbynes are still rare. This work reports the synthesis and alkyne metathesis activity of d2 Re(V) carbyne complexes supported by a [LXL]-type monoanionic [PNP]-pincer ligand, a [LLX]-type monoanionic [PNO]-pincer ligand, and a [ONOH]-bidentate ligand derived from the Schiff base 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)iminomethyl]phenol. Treatment of Re(≡CCH2Ph)Cl2(PMePh2)3 (1) with bis(2-diphenylphosphino-4-tolyl)amine (PNHP) and 2-{(2-diphenylphosphino-phenyl)iminomethyl}phenol (PNOH) in the presence of NEt3 produced the pincer complexes Re(≡CCH2Ph)Cl(PMePh2)(PNP) (2) and Re(≡CCH2Ph)Cl(PMePh2)(PNO) (3), respectively. The Schiff base 2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)iminomethyl]phenol (HONOH) reacted with Re(≡CCH2Ph)Cl2(PMePh2)3 (1) to give Schiff base complex Re(≡CCH2Ph)Cl(PMePh2)(ONOH) (4) (ONOH = o-O-C6H4–CH═N-(o-C6H4OH)) bearing a [ONOH]-bidentate ligand. The [PNP]- and [PNO]-pincer complexes are catalytically active for homometathesis of neat 1-methoxy-4-(1-propyn-1-yl)benzene at 150 °C, while the complex bearing the [ONOH]-bidentate Schiff base ligand is catalytically inactive under similar conditions. The energy profiles for metathesis reactions of model pincer rhenium alkyne-carbyne complexes have been calculated with DFT methods.
