Computational study of the spin-forbidden H 2 oxidative addition to 16-electron Fe(0) complexes
2003
International audience; The spin-forbidden oxidative addition of H2 to Fe(CO)4, Fe(PH3)4, Fe(dpe)2 and Fe(dmpe)2 [dpe = H2PCH2CH2PH2, dmpe = (CH3)2PCH2CH2P(CH3)2] has been investigated by density functional theory using a modified B3PW91 functional. All 16-electron fragments are found to adopt a spin triplet ground state. The H2 addition involves a spin crossover in the reagents region of configurational space, at a significantly higher energy relative to the triplet dissociation asymptote and, for the case of Fe(CO)4·H2, even higher than the singlet dissociation asymptote. After crossing to the singlet surface, the addition proceeds directly to the classical cis-dihydride product. Only for…
Kinetic and Electrochemical Studies of the Oxidative Addition of Demanding Organic Halides to Pd(0): the Efficiency of Polyphosphane Ligands in Low P…
2013
International audience; Oxidative addition (OA) of organic halides to palladium(0) species is a fundamental reaction step which initiates the C–C bond formation catalytic processes typical of Pd(0)/Pd(II) chemistry. The use of structurally congested polyphosphane ligands in palladium-catalyzed C–C bond formation has generated very high turnover numbers (TONs) in topical reactions such as Heck, Suzuki, Sonogashira couplings, and direct sp2C–H functionalization. Herein, the OA of aryl bromides to Pd(0) complexes stabilized by ferrocenylpolyphosphane ligands L1 (tetraphosphane), L2 (triphosphane), and L3 (diphosphane) is considered. The investigation of kinetic constants for the addition of Ph…
New chiral α-aminophosphine oxides and sulfides: an unprecedented rhodium-catalyzed ligand epimerization
2001
International audience; New chiral α-aminophosphine oxide N,P(O) and sulfide N,P(S) ligands have been prepared in one-pot syntheses by addition of Ph2PH to (S)-PhCH[double bond, length half m-dash]NCH(Ph)CH3, followed by oxidation with O2 or S8. Crystallization from cold methanol leads to the isolation of an enantiomerically pure single N,P(O) diastereomer and to a 1 : 1 mixture of the two N,P(S) diastereomers. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with [RhCl(COD)]2 and [RhCl(CO)2]2 has been investigated under argon and syngas. At high temperatures, a P–C oxidative addition of the N,P(O) ligand followed by imine elimination leads to several hydrido rhodium species. The complexes conta…
Synthesis and X-ray structure of cationic β-diimine palladium complexes containing π-methallyl ligand
2005
High yield of cationic palladium β-diimine complexes [(CH 2 (MeCNAr) 2 )Pd(η 3 -C 4 H 7 )][Y] (Ar = C 6 H 5 , Y = PF 6 (8); 2-Me-C 6 H 4 , Y = PF 6 (9); 2,6-Me 2 -C 6 H 3 , Y = PF 6 (10); 2,6-iPr 2 -C 6 H 3 , Y = PF 6 (11), Y = B(3,5-(CF 3 ) 2 -C 6 H 3 ) 4 (12)) have been obtained by an oxidative addition of the methallyloxyphosphonium salts (5, 6) to a preformed complex Pd(dba) 2 (7) in the presence of the β-iminoamine ligands (1-4). These complexes are thermally stable and have been characterized by 'H and 1 3 C{ 1 H} NMR as well as IR spectroscopy. The structure of the cationic allyl palladium complex (12) has been solved by X-ray crystallography.
Synthesis of μ-C2S44− Cobalt Complexes by Activation of the 1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene-2,5-dione, and Electrochemical Study of [(Cp*Co)2(μ-C2S4)]
2002
The bimetallic complex [Cp(*)Co)2(μ-C2S4)] in which the two metal centres are linked by an ethylenetetrathiolate C2S44− unit, was synthesized in high yield by oxidative addition of 1,3,4,6 tetrathiapentalene-2,5-dione to [Cp(*)Co(CO)2]. The X-ray crystal structure of the intermediate product Cp*Co(dmid) (dmid2− = 4,5-disulfanyl-1,3-dithiol-2-onate) is presented. The electrochemical behaviour of the [(Cp*Co)2(μ-C2S4)] complex was studied in detail in the oxidative range. This study has shown that the nature of the product obtained after oxidation depends on the presence of complexing agent in the solution. The mechanism has been elucidated in a CH2Cl2 solution in the presence of P(OMe)3. In …
A Two-State Computational Investigation of Methane C-H and Ethane C-C Oxidative Addition to [CpM(PH3)]n+ (M=Co, Rh, Ir;n=0, 1)
2006
Reductive elimination of methane from methyl hydride half-sandwich phosphane complexes of the Group 9 metals has been investigated by DFT calculations on the model system [CpM(PH(3))(CH(3))(H)] (M = Co, Rh, Ir). For each metal, the unsaturated product has a triplet ground state; thus, spin crossover occurs during the reaction. All relevant stationary points on the two potential energy surfaces (PES) and the minimum energy crossing point (MECP) were optimized. Spin crossover occurs very near the sigma-CH(4) complex local minimum for the Co system, whereas the heavier Rh and Ir systems remain in the singlet state until the CH(4) molecule is almost completely expelled from the metal coordinati…
Ammonia Activation by a Nickel NCN-Pincer Complex featuring a Non-Innocent N-Heterocyclic Carbene: Ammine and Amido Complexes in Equilibrium
2015
A Ni0-NCN pincer complex featuring a six-membered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) central platform and amidine pendant arms was synthesized by deprotonation of its NiII precursor. It retained chloride in the square-planar coordination sphere of nickel and was expected to be highly susceptible to oxidative addition reactions. The Ni0 complex rapidly activated ammonia at room temperature, in a ligand-assisted process where the carbene carbon atom played the unprecedented role of proton acceptor. For the first time, the coordinated (ammine) and activated (amido) species were observed together in solution, in a solvent-dependent equilibrium. A structural analysis of the Ni complexes provided insig…

Abstract Neutral and cationic rhodium(III) metallated compounds containing a four-membered ring are prepared by different synthetic methods: (i) from rhodium(I) compounds that contain the ligand P( o -ClC 6 H 4 )PPh 2 , by 2c-2e intramolecular oxidative addition; (ii) from metallated dirhodium(II) compounds; (iii) by ligand substitution in [RhCl 2 {η 2 -(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 }{η 2 -P( o -ClC 6 H 4 )Ph 2 }]. The crystal structures of [RhCl 2 {η 2 -(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 }(η 2 -dppm)] ( 2 ) and of the dichloromethane solvate of [RhCl{η 2 -(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 }{η 1 -P( o -ClC 6 H 4 )Ph 2 }(phen)](SbF 6 ) ( 11 ) have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. In both complexes the Rh atom is in the distorted…

2002
Variants of the beta-aminophosphine L(1) [Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(Ph)NHPh] containing additional nitrogen donor functions have been prepared. These functions are branched off the C atom adjacent to the P atom, or the P atom itself. Ligand [Ph(2)PCH(o-C(6)H(4)NMe(2))CH(Ph)NHPh] has been obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers L(3A) and L(3B) by lithiation of L(2) [Ph(2)PCH(2)(o-C(6)H(4)NMe(2))] with n-BuLi followed by PhCH=NPh addition and hydrolysis. The diastereomers have been separated by fractional crystallization from ethanol. Ligand Et(2)NCH(2)P(Ph)CH(2)CH(Ph)NHPh has been obtained as a mixture of two diastereomers L(5A) and L(5B)(starting with P-Ph reductive cleavage of L(1) by lithium and s…
Multiple Roles of Isocyanides in Palladium-Catalyzed Imidoylative Couplings: A Mechanistic Study
2016
International audience; Kinetic, spectroscopic and computational studies examining a palladium-catalyzed imidoylative coupling highlight the dual role of isocyanides as both substrates and ligands for this class of transformations. The synthesis of secondary amides from aryl halides and water is presented as a case study. The kinetics of the oxidative addition of ArI with RNC-ligated Pd-0 species have been studied and the resulting imidoyl complex [(ArC=NR)Pd(CNR)(2)I] (Ar=4-F-C6H4, R = tBu) has been isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The unprecedented ability of this RNC-ligated imidoyl-Pd complex to undergo reductive elimination at room temperature to give the amide in the p…
