Organometallic compounds binding

Second, as a logical development of the first approach, polyphosphazenes have been synthesized that bear phosphine units connected to aryloxy side groups (37). The phosphine units bind organometallic compounds, such as those of iron, cobalt, osmium, or ruthenium (38). In several cases, the catalytic activity of the metal is retained in the macromolecular system (39). A similar binding of transition metals has been accomplished through nido carboranyl units linked to a polyphosphazene chain (40). 

Electrochemical or Li-benzophenone reduction of Fe(Pc) and Co(Pc) gives [M Pc] and [M (Pc)]2. 198,199 These monovalent metal complexes react with alkyl halides to give organometallic compounds which transfer the alkyl group to alkenes in the presence of Pd11 salts (Scheme 61). [Co PCTS]5- and [Co PCTS]6- reductively bind one and two molecules of oxygen respectively in DMF,198 The second 02 addition is reversible (Scheme 62). 

This book attempts to describe alternative approaches to ligand reactivity involving normal co-ordination complexes as opposed to organometallic compounds. In part, a justification for this view comes from a study of natural systems. With very few exceptions, organometallic compounds are not involved in biological systems it is equally true that numerous enzymes bind or require metal ions that are essential for their activity. If enzymes can utilise metal ions to perform complex and demanding organic chemical reactions in aqueous, aerobic conditions at ambient temperature and pressure, it would seem to be worthwhile to ask the question whether this is a better approach to catalysis. 

Different approaches have been developed for binding a metal or organo-metallic moiety to these dendrimer frameworks. In numerous coordination compounds, the dendrimer and the metal are linked through a dative metal-heteroatom bond [32], while in organometallic compounds the linkage between the metal and the dendritic framework is realized via a or n metal-carbon bonding [11]. 

Fig. 16.17. Mechanism of the carbocupration of acetylene (R = H) or terminal alkynes (R H) with a saturated Gilman cuprate. The unsaturated Gilman cuprate I is obtained via the cuprolithiation product E and the resulting carbolithiation product F in several steps—and stereoselectively. Iodolysis of I leads to the formation of the iodoalkenes J with complete retention of configuration. Note The last step but one in this figure does not only afford I, but again the initial Gilman cuprate A B, too. The latter reenters the reaction chain "at the top" so that in the end the entire saturated (and more reactive) initial cuprate is incorporated into the unsaturated (and less reactive) cuprate (I). - Caution The organometallic compounds depicted here contain two-electron, multi-center bonds. Other than in "normal" cases, i.e., those with two-electron, two-center bonds, the lines cannot be automatically equated with the number of electron pairs. This is why only three electron shift arrows can be used to illustrate the reaction process. The fourth red arrow—in boldface— is not an electron shift arrow, but only indicates the site where the lithium atom binds next.

The organometallic compound, ferrocene, has also been shown to form different types of complexes with either 8- or y-cyclodextrin [52]. In 8-cyclodextrin, ferrocene is included in an axial complexational mode, while it adopts an equatorial mode when binding to y-cyclodextrin. The perturbations caused by 6-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-6-cyclodextrin on the CD spectra of purine nucleosides have been investigated [53].

An Arrhenius plot of the deposition rate vs reciprocal absolute temperature is shown in Fig. 2. Depositions were made by indicated pressures with or without carrier gas. One notices in all cases that above 190 °C the deposition rate of several A/s was found with an activation energy of about 50-60 kJ mol". Below this temperature a strong decrease of the deposition rate was found. It did not matter whether the gas phase consisted of pure precursor or of a mixture of organometallic compound and argon carrier gas. Only the value of the deposition rate was varying with the different pressures which can be explained by the amount of precursor in the gas phase. Similar results (Fig. 3) were also obtained with in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ESCA) studies, which indicate a sharp shift of the binding energy as an onset of the start of decomposition of the precusor at around 190 °C.
