Cyclometallation reactions in complexes of the type Rh(oq)(CO)(P(o-BrC6F4)Ph2)

Abstract The complex [uRh(oq)Br(P( o -Cu 6 F 4 )Ph 2 )(H 2 O)] 2 is obtained by refluxing a solution of Rh(oq)(CO)(P( o -BrC 6 F 4 )Ph 2 ) (oq = 8-oxyquinolinate) in toluene. The structure of this compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to R = 0.061 and R w = 0.065 factors. The cell has monoclinic symmetry, space group P 2 1 / n ; a 19.513(2), b 17.049(1), c 16.898(1) A and β 99.69(1)°. The structure consists of two independent Rh(oq)Br(P( o -C 6 F 4 )Ph 2 )H 2 O) units linked by hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and oq ligands to form a distorted boat (six atom ring of junction between the two units). In each unit the metal atom has a distorted oc…

Synthesis and X-ray Crystallographic Characterization of (μ-(Diphenylphosphino)phenyl-C2,P)palladium Bromide. A Novel Tetranuclear Metalated Compound

The synthesis and crystal structure of a tetranuclear palladium cluster, [Pd(PC)Br]4 (PC) = [P(C6H4)Ph2]-), is described. Cleavage of this cluster with phosphines yields the mononuclear species Pd(PC)Br(P) in the form of cis and trans isomers. An equilibrium between mono- and tetranuclear species is observed for P = PCBr.

Precatalyst or dosing-device? The [Pd2{μ-(C6H4) PPh2}2{μ-O2C(C6H5)}2] complex anchored on a carboxypolystyrene polymer as an effective supplier of palladium catalytically active nanoparticles for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

Abstract A new catalyst has been synthesized from the precursor [Pd2{μ-(C6H4) PPh2}2 {μ-O2C(C6H5)}2] immobilized on a carboxypolystyrene polymer that exhibits an excellent dispersion of the Pd (II) centers, reusability, and catalytic activity in front of phenyl bromides. The activity of this new material was studied in detail for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction and compared to that of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supported on UVM-7 (a mesoporous silica), and Pd NPs stabilized with polyvinylpirrolydone. The homogeneous/heterogeneous character of the catalytic process was determined from the results of the hot-filtration, centrifugation, poisoning, three phases tests, and from differential sensitivity …

Photo-assisted formation of a chelating diphos ligand from PPh3 and a cyclometallated [P(C6H4)(C6H5)2]− ligand. Crystal structure of Pd{η2-o-[P(C6H5)2]2(C6H4)}Br2

Abstract The cyclometallated palladium compound, Pd[η2-(C6H4)P(C6H5)2]Br[P(C6H5)3] (1), in the solid state by action of light, evolves to give Pd{η2-o-[P(C6H5)2]2(C6H4)}Br2 (2). This compound contains the diphosphine, o-[P(C6H5)2]2(C6H4), as chelated ligand that is formed by a couple reaction of the metallated ligand η2-[(C6H4)P(C6H5)2]− and the coordinated arylphosphine. A study by NMR spectroscopy confirms that the o-phenylene bridge in the diphosphine ligand in 2 comes from the metallated phosphine ligand in 1.

Tandem β-Boration/Arylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds by Using a Single Palladium Complex To Catalyse Both Steps

Diphenyl(3-methyl-2-indolyl)phosphine (C(9)H(8)NPPh(2), 1) gives stable dimeric palladium(II) complexes that contain the phosphine in P,N-bridging coordination mode. On treating 1 with [Pd(O(2)CCH(3))(2)], the new complexes [Pd(mu-C(9)H(7)NPPh(2))(NCCH(3))](2) (2) or [Pd(mu-C(9)H(7)NPPh(2))(mu-O(2)CCH(3))](2) (3) were isolated, depending on the solvent used, acetonitrile or toluene, respectively. Further reaction of 3 with the ammonium salt of 1 led to the substitution of one carboxylate ligand to afford [Pd(mu-C(9)H(7)NPPh(2))(3)(mu-O(2)CCH(3))] (4), in which the bimetallic unit is bonded by three C(9)H(7)NPPh(2)(-) moieties and one carboxylate group. Using this methodology, [Pd(2)(mu-C(6)…

Ligand Effects on the Chemoselectivity of Ortho-Metalated Rhodium(II) Catalyzed α-Diazo Ketone Transformations

Rh2(OOCR)2(PC)2 complexes (PC = orthometalated phosphines, OOCR = carboxylates) with very polarizable ligands, such as aromatic rings directly joined to the rhodium atoms, control chemoselectivity in competitive metal carbene transformations of α-diazo ketones. These catalysts have a mixed set of ligands that allows choosing among a big selection of ligands to gradually affect the electronic and steric properties of the catalyst. Their selectivity depends on the electrophilicity of the ligands and the polarizability of the metalated aromatic rings. Thus, Rh2(OOCR)2(PC)2 compounds [PC = (C6H4)P(CH3)(C6H5), (p-CH3C6H3)P(p-CH3C6H4)2, (C6H4)P(C6H5)2; R = C3F7 or CF3] exhibit an exceptional sele…

Unusual stability of reaction intermediates in ortho-metalation reactions of dicyclohexylphenylphosphane with dirhodium(II) tetraacetate

Abstract Reaction of dirhodium(II) tetraacetate with 1 molar equivalent of dicyclohexylphenylphosphane afforded the complex [Rh 2 (μ-O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 {μ-(C 6 H 4 )PCy 2 }(CH 3 COOH) 2 ] ( 1 ) in which the phosphane ligand is coordinated to the rhodium atoms in a bridging ortho -metalated mode. As a second product, [Rh 2 (μ-O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 {μ-(C 6 H 4 )PCy 2 }(CH 3 COOH)(PhPCy 2 )] ( 2 ) was isolated from the same reaction. 2 proved to be unusually stable toward further reaction to a doubly ortho -metalated complex which has been accessible in the reaction of dirhodium(II) tetraacetate with other phosphane ligands. However, doubly ortho -metalated [Rh 2 (μ-O 2 CCH 3 ) 2 {μ-(C 6 H 4 )PCy 2 } 2 (CH…

Multifaceted Palladium Catalysts Towards the Tandem Diboration-Arylation Reactions of Alkenes

Novel Pd(2) (6+) compounds have been synthesized in high yield. These compounds and their Pd(2) (4+) counterparts as synthetic precursors mediate the diboration of vinylarenes and aliphatic 1-alkenes, and under mild and basic reaction conditions they produce a variety of 1,2-diboronate esters with excellent conversions and chemoselectivities. The presence of bis(catecholato)diboron (B(2)cat(2)) favours the reduction of Pd(III) to Pd(II), while the catalytic precursor of Pd(II) is transformed into Pd(0)-nanoparticles. An "in situ" catalytic tandem reaction has been designed to transform the diboronate intermediates into the monoarylated product, which after oxidative workup, provides the car…

High Yield Syntheses of Stable, Singly Bonded Pd26+ Compounds

A general method for the syntheses of dipalladium compounds having a singly bonded Pd26+ core and the formula R,S-cis-Pd2(C6H4PPh2)2(O2CR)2Cl2 is described. When the alkyl group in the carboxylate ligands is an electron donating group, the compounds are stable and the yields high. The Pd-Pd distances for the diamagnetic compounds with R = CF3 and CMe3 are 2.5434(4) and 2.5241(9) A, respectively. Calculations at the DFT level suggest that the electronic configuration is sigma2pi4delta2delta*2pi*4. These represent rare examples of palladium(III) compounds.
