Synthesis, Molecular Structure, and Reactivity of Rhodium(I) Complexes with Diazoalkanes and Related Substrates as Ligands

2003

A series of (diazoalkane)rhodium(I) compounds of the general composition trans-[RhCl(N2CRR‘)(PiPr3)2] with R = R‘ = Ph, p-C6H4Me, p-C6H4Cl and R = Ph, R‘ = p-C6H4Me, o-C6H4Me, CH3, CH2Ph, CF3 has been prepared from the dimer [RhCl(PiPr3)2]2 (1) and the diazoalkane. This preparative route has also been extended to complexes in which the N2C unit(s) of 1,4-C6H4{C(Ph)N2}2, 9-diazofluorene, 9,10-anthraquinone-9-diazide, and 3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone-1-diazide is (are) linked to a 14-electron [RhCl(PiPr3)2] fragment. While C(CO2Et)2N2 behaves as expected and affords upon treatment with 1 the complex trans-[RhCl{N2C(CO2Et)2}(PiPr3)2), CH(CO2Et)N2 reacts with the same starting material to give t…

Reactivity and Selectivity of Ortho-Metalated Rhodium(II) Complexes in C−H Insertion Reactions of α-Diazo Compounds

1998

Regioselective intramolecular C−H insertion reactions of α-diazo β-keto esters and α-diazo ketones are mediated by Rh2[OOCR]4-x[PC]x (x = 1, 2; PC = ortho-metalated phosphine; R = CH3, C3F7). In particular, the intramolecular transformation of 1-diazo-5-methyl-3-propyl-2-hexanone catalyzed by Rh2[OOCCH3]2[PC]2 (PC = (C6H4)P(C6H5)2, head-to-tail (H−T) configuration) afforded only the tertiary C−H insertion product. By comparison, no C−H insertion reaction was promoted by doubly metalated complexes with a head-to-head (H−H) configuration. Rh2[OOCR]3[PC] compounds were found to be less suited for these type of reactions.

Die dimerisierung von endständigen α-hydroxyacetylenen mit rhodiumkomplexkatalysatoren

1978

Abstract The dimerisation of monosubstituted α-hydroxyacetylenes, which is catalysed by rhodium complexes, yields 1,4-disubstituted vinylacetylenes. The catalyst has been optimized for 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol as the substrate by using different ligands. Kinetic measurements were carried out with the monomers 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol, 3-methylpent-1-yn-3-ol and 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol. In addition the rates of the dimerisation have been compared with those for a further series of α-hydroxyacetylenes. The by-products from the reaction of 3-methylbut-1-yn-3-ol with [(C 6 H 5 ) 3 P] 3 RhCl as catalyst were determined and the yields of the products compared with those of but-1-yn-3-ol and prop-1-yn-…

Metallophilic interactions in stacked dinuclear rhodium 2,2'-biimidazole carbonyl complexes

2012

Non-covalent metallophilic interactions were studied by investigating the stacking of two neutral rhodium complexes [Rh2I(R2bim)Cl2(CO)4] (R = Et, ethyl or Pr, propyl) in the solid state. Both dinuclear complexes formed infinite arrays of square planar d8 rhodium centres with intramolecular Rh⋯Rh distances of 3.1781(5) A (R = Et) and 3.1469(3) A (R = Pr) and the intermolecular Rh⋯Rh distances of 3.4345(6) A (R = Et) and 3.4403(3) A (R = Pr) between the adjacent molecules. The crystalline solids were stable and did not contain any solvent of crystallization. The effect of the metallophilic interactions on the absorption properties were studied using TD-DFT methods. The computational results …

ortho-metallation of P(m-MeC6H4)3 in dirhodium(II) tetraacetate. Molecular structure of Rh2(O2CCH3)2[(m-MeC6H3)P(m-MeC6H4)2]2(HO2CCH3)2·CH3CO2H

1990

Abstract The thermal reaction of Rh2(O2CCH3)4(MeOH)2 and P(m-MeC6H4)3 in a 1:2 molar ratio in acetic acid yielded Rh2(O2CCH3)2[(m-MeC6H3)P(m -MeC6H4)2]2(HO2CCH3)2. Purple monoclinic crystals of this compound and one molecule of acetic acid, space group P21/c, were obtained by evaporation of a solution of the original reaction product in acetic acid/CH2Cl2 mixture. The unit cell parameters are a = 21.346(3), b = 11.909(2), c = 20.071 A, β = 97.98(1)° and Z = 4. The structure consists of a dinuclear rhodium core bridged by cisoid acetate groups and two ortho-metallated phosphine ligands. The ortho-metallation occurs at the least sterically hindered carbon atom which is trans to the methyl sub…

A New Rhodium(III) Complex with a Tripodal Bis(imidazolylidene) Ligand. Synthesis and Catalytic Properties

2003

A new bis(imidazolylidene) tripodal ligand has been obtained by a simple method. The coordination of this ligand to Rh provides the first Rh(III) complex with a bis(carbene) ligand in a tripodal coordination, and its catalytic properties toward hydrogen transfer have been examined.

Synthesis and characterisation of a new class of phosphine-phosphonite ferrocenediyl dinuclear rhodium complexes

2004

We previously reported the easy access to mixed ferrocenediyl ligands bearing phosphine and phosphonite moieties. Using this strategy, a new enantiopure phosphine-menthylphosphonite ferrocenediyl has been synthesised. This mixed ligand leads to original unsymmetrical dinuclear rhodium coordination-complexes. One example of this new class of “quasi-close bridging A frame” dinuclear rhodium complexes, fully characterised by multinuclear 1H, 13C, 31P and 103Rh NMR and optical rotation measurements, is presented. Preliminary tests have shown an activity improvement in the hydroformylation of oct-1-ene using the phosphine-menthylphosphonite ferrocenediyl auxiliary compared to known phosphine-pho…

Metal NHC Complexes with Naphthalimide Ligands as DNA-Interacting Antiproliferative Agents

2017

Naphthalimide-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of the type [(1,5-cyclooctadiene)(NHC)RhCl)] (4 a-c), [(p-cymene)(NHC)RuCl2 )] (5 a-c), and [(NHC)CuBr] (6 a-c) were synthesized and investigated as antiproliferative agents that target DNA. The cytotoxic effects were largely driven by the naphthalimide structure, which is a DNA-intercalating moiety. Regarding the metal center, the highest activities were observed with the rhodium complexes, and cytotoxic activity was significantly lower for the ruthenium derivatives. The stable coordination of the NHC ligands of selected complexes 4 b and 5 b in solution was confirmed, and their DNA binding properties were studied by UV/Vis spectro…

Complexes de métaux de transition avec des ligands carbènes N-hétérocycliques : synthèses et réactivité

2015

The purpose of this work is the synthesis of complexes containing imine-functionalized protic NHC ligands in order to further develop synthetic methodologies giving access to pNHC, C-bound ‘anionic’ imidazolide, and homo- and heterodinuclear complexes. In the case of imidazoles without functional group, deprotonation with n-butyl lithium afforded (1-aryl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)lithium in good yield. Reaction of (1-aryl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)lithium with [Ir(cod)(μ-Cl)]2 or [Rh(cod)(μ-Cl)]2 yielded a doubly C2,N3-bridged dinuclear complex. In the case of imine-functionalized imidazole, the Ir(I) N-bound imidazole complex can tautomerize to Ir(I) imine-functionalized pNHC complex chloride abstraction at…
