Complexes bimetallic

Bimetallic Complexes. There are two types of bimetaUic organometaUic thorium complexes those with, and those without, metal—metal interactions. Examples of species containing metal—metal bonds are complexes with Ee or Ru carbonyl fragments. Cp ThX(CpRu(CO)2), where X = Cl or 1, and Cp7Th(CpM(CO)2), where M = Ee or Ru, have both been prepared by interaction of CP2TI1X2 or Cp ThCl [62156-90-5] respectively, with the anionic metal carbonyl fragment. These complexes contain very polar metal—metal bonds that can be cleaved by alcohols. 

Fe—Fe bond can be assigned structures 201 or 202 based on spectral data. The other product of this reaction is 193 (R = r-Bu), however, it is produced in minor amounts. Complexes 199 (R = R = r-Bu, R = Ph, R = r-Bu) were obtained. Reaction of 146 (M = Mo, R = Ph, R = R = Ft, R = r" = Me) with (benzyli-deneacetone)iron carbonyl gives rise to the bimetallic complex 200 (M = Mo), which reacts further with the free phosphole to form the bimetallic heteronuclear sandwich 203. The preferable coordination of the molybdenum atom to the dienic system of the second phosphole nucleus is rather unusual. The molybdenum atom is believed to have a greater tendency to coordinate via the trivalent phosphorus atom than via the dienic system. 

In the stabilization of PVC, the principal mode of action of the various stabilizer systems has been explained in terms of the Frye and Horst mechanism, i.e., substitution of labile chlorines by more stable groups. Evidence for other actions, such as HCl neutralization, addition to polyene sequences, and bimetallic complex formation have also been given. Despite the wide acceptance of the Frye and Horst mechanism, researchers have frequently contended that this could not be the dominant mechanism in the stabilization of PVC. 

Harrowfield et al. [37-39] have described the structures of several dimethyl sulfoxide adducts of homo bimetallic complexes of rare earth metal cations with p-/e rt-butyl calix[8]arene and i /i-ferrocene derivatives of bridged calix[4]arenes. Ludwing et al. [40] described the solvent extraction behavior of three calixarene-type cyclophanes toward trivalent lanthanides La (Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Er, and Yb). By using p-tert-huty ca-lix[6Jarene hexacarboxylic acid, the lanthanides were extracted from the aqueous phase at pH 2-3.5. The ex-tractability is Nb, Eu > La > Er > Yb. 

An example of particular interest is the two-fold introduction of M(CO)n moieties at silicon to give HMPA adducts of organometallic analogues of silaallene. It has been shown that this reaction proceeds through the dichlorosilylene complex as intermediate. Both the iron 22 and ruthenium 23 compound and also the bimetallic complex 24 are accessible.

The heterocycles can be cleaved by reaction with 4-(dimethylamino)pyri-dine, yielding Lewis base-stabilized monomeric compounds of the type dmap—M(R2)E(Tms)2 (M = Al, Ga E = P, As, Sb, Bi). This general reaction now offers the possibility to synthesize electronically rather than kinetically stabilized monomeric group 13/15 compounds. These can be used for further complexation reactions with transition metal complexes, leading to bimetallic complexes of the type dmap—M(Me2)E(Tms)2—M (CO) (M = Al, Ga E = P, As, Sb M = Ni, Gr, Ee). 

The chiral bimetallic complex 1653 reacts with TMSOTf 20 in the presence of excess styrene, via 1654, to give the cyclopropane complex 1655 in high yield [38]. The chromium can be readily removed from 1655 by treatment with I2 in Et20. Analogously, the complex 1656 reacts with styrene in 90% yield, via 1657, to give MegSiOH 4 and phenylcyclopropane 1658 [39] (Scheme 10.17). 

The characteristics of C NMR spectra for all copolymers were similar. The triad distributions for all copolymo" from NMR monomer insertion are shown in Table 2. Based on the triad distribution of ethylene/l-hex aae copolymers in Table 2, we found that microstructurc of copolymer obtainrai fiom aluminoxane system was slightly different in monomer incorporation, but found significantly when borated system was applied. We suspected that this difference was arising fiom the diffaences in bimetallic complex active species between [aluminoxane] [catalyst] and [Borate] [catalyst] which had the electronic and gMmetric effects fiom the sterric effect of larger molecule of borate compare to the aluminoxane on the behaviors of comonomer insertion in our systems. 

Ferrocen-l,l -diylbismetallacycles are conceptually attractive for the development of bimetal-catalyzed processes for one particular reason the distance between the reactive centers in a coordinated electrophile and a coordinated nucleophile is self-adjustable for specific tasks, because the activation energy for Cp ligand rotation is very low. In 2008, Peters and Jautze reported the application of the bis-palladacycle complex 56a to the enantioselective conjugate addition of a-cyanoacetates to enones (Fig. 31) [74—76] based on the idea that a soft bimetallic complex capable of simultaneously activating both Michael donor and acceptor would not only lead to superior catalytic activity, but also to an enhanced level of stereocontrol due to a highly organized transition state [77]. An a-cyanoacetate should be activated by enolization promoted by coordination of the nitrile moiety to one Pd(II)-center, while the enone should be activated as an electrophile by coordination of the olefinic double bond to the carbophilic Lewis acid [78],... 

A new application of bis(oxazolines) ligands was reported by Reiser et al. who obtained some excellent results, such as that depicted in Scheme 2.14 for the 1,4-addition of ZnEt2 to 2-cyclohexenone. These authors used a bimetallic complex in which the substrate was locked in a two-point binding mode via a zinc atom and a copper atom. 

Kitamura and Noyori have reported mechanistic studies on the highly diastere-omeric dialkylzinc addition to aryl aldehydes in the presence of (-)-i-exo-(dimethylamino)isoborneol (DAIB) [33]. They stated that DAIB (a chiral (i-amino alcohol) formed a dimeric complex 57 with dialkylzinc. The dimeric complex is not reactive toward aldehydes but a monomeric complex 58, which exists through equilibrium with the dimer 57, reacts with aldehydes via bimetallic complex 59. The initially formed adduct 60 is transformed into tetramer 61 by reaction with either dialkylzinc or aldehydes and regenerates active intermediates. The high enantiomeric excess is attributed to the facial selectivity achieved by clear steric differentiation of complex 59, as shown in Scheme 1.22. 

Ir(ppy)2hat]+ exhibits dual emission at 77 K. The bimetallic complex [(ppy)2Ir(/i-hat)-Ru(bpy)2]3+ has three reversible reduction waves the first two involve the bridging hat ligand, and the third process is attributed to a bpy-based process.330 The complex also has an irreversible oxidation. Low-energy ( 19,000 cm-1) bands are assigned as Run hat ir transitions. 

The presence of N-donors in pendent arms makes Schiff base ligands very effective for the formation of bimetallic complexes with two Ni11 ions. Dinuclear complexes of compartmental Schiff base ligands are covered in Section 6.3.4.12.

The imidazolate bridged Cu/Zn bimetallic complex of the cryptand (13) was structurally characterized and shown to have a Cu-Zn distance of 5.93 A (native Cu, Zn-SOD 6.2 A).146 The complex shows some activity in the dismutation of superoxide at biological pH that is retained in the presence of bovine serum albumin. 

Compartmental pyrazole ligands (14) can be used to form bimetallic complexes (15).157 This ligand enforces a separation distance between the metal ions. Stability constants were calculated showing a stability for both mononuclear and dinuclear compounds that was less than Cu11 but greater than Nin. 

In contrast, Fe-Hg-X complexes show little tendency to form halide bridged species and less is known about complexes containing Zn. We first reported the formation of Fe-Si-O-M four membered ring systems with soft metals M = Ag, Rh, Pd, and Pt, and then prepared bimetallic complexes with more oxophilic metals in order to better understand the conditions for the occurrence of this unusual (t-alkoxy-silyl bridging mode. We have expanded our studies on Cd-containing complexes [3b-d] to Group 13 elements and we report here about the synthesis and reactivity of new, stable heterometallic Fe-M (M =...
