Carbon-bound complexes

The carbon-bound complexes show more diverse structural behavior than the side-bound species, for example, the Rh complex is strictly monohapto with respect to the metal as shown in II, while the Co complex has both oxygen... 

Recently, Denmark and coworkers have confirmed that asymmetric cyclopropanation with chiral palladium complexes was not efficient [55]. They reported a systematic study toward the development of an enantioselective diazomethane-based cyclopropanation reagent derived from bis(oxazoline)palladium(II) complexes. In addition to the novel carbon-bound complexes, several simple palladium chelates were synthesized and evaluated in the cyclopropanation of various electron-deficient olefins (Fig. 2). Although all catalysts were effective at inducing the cyclopropanation, the products obtained were racemic in all the...

Exchange reactions of neopentane have already lead to the conclusion (755, 158, 162) that 3C complexes, bound to the surface by the ay carbon atoms, may be formed on some metals (e.g., Rh or Pt). However, it was evident from those experiments that 3Cay complexes are formed by metals much more reluctantly than the 2Ca(1 or the aa-bound complexes. It means that their formation can only be studied at (much) higher temperatures than those suited for the study of the HC/D2 exchange reactions. In this case one can advantageously use the skeletal reactions of neopentane themselves as evidence for the formation of 3C complexes. When neopentane is being isomerized or split into Q and C3 fragments, 3C complexes are certainly... 

The possible reaction mechanism of the successful rearrangements includes intramolecular attack of the electrophilic carbonyl carbon on the aromatic carbon bound to tellurium (ipso-acylation) leading to the spiro-cyclic o-complex 23. Subsequent nucleophilic attack of the chloride ion at the tellurium produces 1,2-oxatellurolyl-l-ium chlorides 21. 

Similar, albeit slower, reactions prevail in the later transition metals. The carbonyl oxygen of 3-metallacyclobuta-none complexes is the typical site for protonation rather than the less polarized metal-carbon bond (Section 2.12.7). The reaction of iridacyclobutanone complex 86 with />-toluenethiol, however, returns the carbon-bound iridium enolate complex 87 by eventual protonation of one Ir-C bond (Equation 28) <1995JOM143>. 

Buffered (pH 7) 0.1 M ammonium acetate and 0.43 M acetic acid have also been adopted to extract soil plant-available PTMs (Burridge and Berrow, 1984 Ellis and Alloway, 1983 Haq etal, 1980 John etal, 1972 Merkel, 1996 Obrador et al, 2007 Sastre et al, 2004 Soon and Bates, 1982 Sterckeman et al, 1996). For both extractants, acetate complexation ability may contribute to increase the amounts of PTMs released (Adamo et al, 1996 McLaren and Crawford, 1973). Only for acetic acid, in addition to readily exchangeable, also specifically adsorbed and carbonate-bound metals are likely displaced by hydrogen ions (Berrow and Mitchell, 1980). Acetic acid could partially extract metals bound to organic matter (Paya-Perez et al, 1993) and associated with minerals (kaolinite, K-feldspars and ferrihdrite) (Whalley and Grant, 1994). 

Chelation is not necessary to promote the abnormal metallation. When imidazolium salts with one bulky substituent ( Pr, fBu) are refluxed with pyridine and IrHs(PPh3)2 in THF, C-5-bound complexes are obtained in good yield, with the least sterically hindered of the three imidazole carbons selectively bound to Ir (Scheme 30) [125]. Infrared spectroscopy on carbonyl derivatives indicated that abnormally bound NHCs are much stronger electron donors than their ubiquitous C-2 counterparts [125]. 

Carbon monoxide adsorption on ZnO has been found to depend strongly on the pretreatment of the oxide. Kortiim and Knehr (94) detected a weakly bound CO with at least one rotational degree of freedom showing rotational-vibrational bands with maxima at 2188 and 2120 cm-1 and a strongly bound complex similar to bidentate carbonate. In addition, well-degassed ZnO specimens adsorbed CO with the IR frequency within the carbonyl...
