Photochemical intermediates of trans-Rh(CO)L2Cl where L=PMe3, PBu3, and i-Pr2HN and cis-Rh(CO)2(i-Pr2HN)Cl in frozen organic glasses
2002
International audience; The Nujol glass matrix photolyses of Rh(CO)(PMe3)2Cl (1), Rh(CO)(PBu3)2Cl (2), Rh(CO)2(i-Pr2HN)Cl (3), and Rh(CO)(i-Pr2HN)2Cl (4), have been examined. Phototolysis of 1 (λirr>400 nm) and 2 (350<λirr<400 nm) give new species, A, with carbonyl stretching bands slightly below the parent bands. In the case of 1 this species appears to give rise to a second product, C, upon either extended photolysis or annealing. High-energy photolysis of 1, 2, and 4, result in loss of CO and formation of an IR silent species, RhL2Cl. In the case of 1 a new carbonyl species, B, is observed upon high-energy photolysis or annealing of a matrix containing CO and Rh(PMe3)2Cl. B may be conver…
Carboranyl Substituted Siloxanes and Octasilsesquioxanes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity
2008
Carboranyl-containing disiloxane, cyclic-siloxane and cage-like silsesquioxane have been prepared in high yields. Two routes are compared for their preparation, a classical hydrolytic process based on hydrolysis and condensation of the freshly prepared carboranylalkylchlorosilane and ethoxysilane precursors and a nonhydrolytic route based on the specific reactivity of chorosilane toward DMSO. Based on the typical reactivity of the carboranyl group toward nucleophiles, dianionic disiloxanes and octaanionic silsesquioxanes were obtained without modification of the siloxane bond. Products are fully characterized by FTIR, NMR and MALDI-TOF methods.
Highly trans-stereospecific Isoprene Polymerization by Neodymium Borohydrido Catalysts
2005
Highly stereospecific polymerization of isoprene was achieved using borohydridoneodymium complexes. In combination with stoichiometric amounts of dialkylmagnesium, Nd(BH4)3(THF)3 (1) and Cp*‘Nd(BH4)2(THF)2 (2) (Cp*‘ = C5Me4nPr) afford very efficient catalysts. The activity reaches 37300 (g of polyisoprene/mol of Nd)/h. Half-lanthanidocene 2 gives rise to polyisoprene, 98.5% trans-regular, the highest content yet described for a homogeneous organometallic catalyst. NMR experiments argue for the formation of bimetallic Nd(μ-BH4)Mg active species.
Chimie de coordination du phosphore aux métaux du groupe 11 : progrès en catalyse de couplage C-N au Cu(I) et nouveaux complexes polyphosphines de l'…
2014
Nowadays, sustainable development encourages chemists to develop new economic and ecologic synthesis, because natural ressources are reducing. Most exploited ressources are gas and petroleum, but precious metals are also essential. This thesis is focusing on the enhancement of gold and copper complexes, obtained in our laboratory from phosphorous-based ligands. In the first part, we will develop a new system for the N-arylation of pyrazoles from a copper complexe coordinated by a new hybrid phosphinoalkene ligand. In the second part, coordination properties of gold to different ferrocenic polyphosphine will be studied. Several new innovative complexes will be isolated, and could be used in …
Regioselective C–H amination of free base porphyrins via electrogenerated pyridinium-porphyrins and stabilization of easily oxidized amino-porphyrins…
2020
Four free base aminoporphyrins were synthesized in two steps via regioselective anodic nucleophilic substitution with pyridine followed by ring opening of the electrogenerated pyridinium with piperidine. The X-ray crystallographic structure of the unstable 2-aminotetraphenylporphyrin was solved. Protonation of this latter compound leads to the stable diiminium porphyrin salt.
Synergetic effect of host-guest chemistry and spin crossover in 3D Hofmann-like metal-organic frameworks [Fe(bpac)M(CN)4] (M=Pt, Pd, Ni).
2012
The synthesis and characterization of a series of three-dimensional (3D) Hofmann-like clathrate porous metal-organic framework (MOF) materials [Fe(bpac)M(CN) 4] (M=Pt, Pd, and Ni; bpac=bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene) that exhibit spin-crossover behavior is reported. The rigid bpac ligand is longer than the previously used azopyridine and pyrazine and has been selected with the aim to improve both the spin-crossover properties and the porosity of the corresponding porous coordination polymers (PCPs). The 3D network is composed of successive {Fe[M(CN) 4]} n planar layers bridged by the bis-monodentate bpac ligand linked in the apical positions of the iron center. The large void between the layers, w…
Unveiling the Effect of Magnetic Noise in the Coherence of Single-Molecule Quantum Processors.
2019
Quantum bits (qubits) constitute the most elementary building-blocks of any quantum technology, where information is stored and processed in the form of quantum superpositions between discrete energy levels. In particular, the fabrication of quantum processors is a key long-term goal that will allow us conducting specific tasks much more efficiently than the most powerful classical computers can do. Motivated by recent experiments in which three addressable spin qubits are defined on a potential single-molecule quantum processor, namely the [Gd(H2O)P5W30O110]12− polyoxometalate, we investigate the decohering effect of magnetic noise on the encoded quantum information. Our state-of-the-art m…
An Experimental and Computational Study on the Effect of Al(OiPr)3 on Atom-Transfer Radical Polymerization and on the Catalyst-Dormant Chain Halogen …
2005
International audience; Compound Al(OiPr)3 is shown to catalyze the halide-exchange process leading from [Mo(Cp)Cl2(iPrN=CH-CH=NiPr)] and CH3CH(X)COOEt (X=Br, I) to the mixed-halide complexes [Mo(Cp)ClX(iPrN=CH-CH=NiPr)]. On the other hand, no significant acceleration is observed for the related exchange between [MoX3(PMe3)3] (X=Cl, I) and PhCH(Br)CH3, by analogy to a previous report dealing with the RuII complex [RuCl2(PPh3)3]. A DFT computation study, carried out on the model complexes [Mo(Cp)Cl2(PH3)2], [MoCl3(PH3)3], and [RuCl2(PH3)3], and on the model initiators CH3CH(Cl)COOCH3, CH3Cl, and CH3Br, reveals that the 16-electron RuII complex is able to coordinate the organic halide RX in a…
From CO2 to dimethyl carbonate with dialkyldimethoxystannanes: the key role of monomeric species.
2011
International audience; The formation of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO(2) and methanol with the dimer [n-Bu(2)Sn(OCH(3))(2)](2) was investigated by experimental kinetics in support of DFT calculations. Under the reaction conditions (357-423 K, 10-20 MPa), identical initial rates are observed with three different reacting mixtures, CO(2)/toluene, supercritical CO(2), and CO(2)/methanol, and are consistent with the formation of monomeric di-n-butyltin(iv) species. An intramolecular mechanism is, therefore, proposed with an Arrhenius activation energy amounting to 104 ± 10 kJ mol(-1) for DMC synthesis. DFT calculations on the [(CH(3))(2)Sn(OCH(3))(2)](2)/CO(2) system show that the exothermi…
Copper(II)-dipicolinate-mediated clickable azide–alkyne cycloaddition in water as solvent
2018
Copper(II)-dipicolinate complex [CuIIL(H2O)2] (1) (H2L = dipicolinic acid (H2dipic)) was synthesized via oxidation of copper(I) iodide and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid in water and acetonitrile in the presence of glycine. Complex 1 was characterized by FT-IR and elemental analysis and its structure confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. This complex is an efficient precatalyst that mediates azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions in water at room temperature either in the absence or presence of a reducing agent. Compound 1-mediated azide-alkyne cycloaddition affords alkyl/aryl substituted 1,2,3-triazole heterocycles in a regioselective manner and excellent yields under very mild reactio…
