N-Chelated

The neutral radical 11.12 is an interesting heterocyclic analogue of 2,2 -bipyridyl. This paramagnetic (spin-bearing) ligand forms an N, -chelated complex with bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonato)cobalt(ir). ... 

With the exception of a brief report of a dimethylaluminum complex [5], the coordination chemistry of the monomeric anion in (4) has not been investigated. By contrast, Stahl and co-workers have carried out extensive studies of both main group element and transition-metal complexes of the chelating dianion in the cube (7), which have been summarized in a recent review [9]. A noteworthy feature of the ligand behaviour of this N,N chelating dianion is the additional in-... 

N,N -Chelation is also exhibited by the dianionic P(III)/P(V) ligands (25) in the MejSn complex (31) [39] and in the magnesium complex (32) [40], which is prepared by oxidation of [Mg(thf)2[ BuNP(p-N Bu)2PN Bu] by elemental tellurium [40]. One of the endocychc N Bu groups in (32) is also weakly coordinated to magnesium, thus providing an intramolecular base-stabihzation similar to that observed for complexes of type (8). 

These N,N-chelating hgands were then covalently grafted on a modified Y-zeolite containing supermicropores . The selectivities observed were low (up to 11% ee) but led to similar values when comparing the imsupported and zeolite-supported Cu complexes. Interestingly, however, the zeolite catalysts could be recovered and reused several times with no loss of activity. 

Copper-complexes prepared with other type of N-chelating ligands have been also prepared and evaluated as catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction. Eng-berts et al. [103] studied enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction of 3-phenyl-l-(2-pyridyl)-2-propen-l-one with cyclopentadiene in water (Scheme 39). By using coordinating chiral, commercially available a-amino-adds and their derivatives with copper salts as catalysts, they obtained the desired product with yields generally exceeding 90%. With L-abrine (72 in Scheme 39) as chiral moiety, an enantiomeric excess of 74% could be achieved. Moreover, the catalyst solution was reused with no loss of enantioselectivity. 

The different classes of Ru-based catalysts, including crystalline Chevrel-phase chalcogenides, nanostructured Ru, and Ru-Se clusters, and also Ru-N chelate compounds (RuNj), have been reviewed recently by Lee and Popov [29] in terms of the activity and selectivity toward the four-electron oxygen reduction to water. The conclusion was drawn that selenium is a critical element controlling the catalytic properties of Ru clusters as it directly modifies the electronic structure of the catalytic reaction center and increases the resistance to electrochemical oxidation of interfacial Ru atoms in acidic environments. 

In 2005, Riant et al. reported the synthesis of a new air-stable S/N-chelating zinc catalyst, depicted in Scheme 10.50, which was fully characterised by all spectroscopic methods. This complex, prepared from the corresponding ferrocene oxazoline, was applied to the enantioselective hydrosilylation of ketones in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane, PMHS, providing modest enan-tioselectivities (<55% ee). ...

The P-N chelate (91) (dapdmp) exhibits a variety of coordination geometries in complexes with divalent Co. Pseudotetrahedral Co(dapdmp)X2 (X = C1, Br, I, NCS), low-spin five-coordinate [Co(dapdmp)2X]+ (X = C1, Br, I), planar [Co(dapdmp)2]2+ and pseudo-octahedral Co(dapdmp) (N03)2 were all identified.390 The tetradentate P2N2 Schiff base complex (92) is formed by reacting the free ligand with CoI2. The iodo complex is low spin and square pyramidal.391... 

Chelated species are less common. The substituted thiourea 7V-ethoxycarbonyl-/V-[3-(/>-anisyl) pyrazol-5-yl]thiourea (eatu) acts as a monoanionic 0,S-chelate to cobalt(II), forming Co(eatu)2.506 Whereas ethylenethiourea (etu) has been observed to act as a S-donor monodentate in Co (etu)2X2(H20)2 (X = C1, Br), it binds as an S,N-chelate in Co(etu)2(OOCCH3)2.507 Both violet octahedral and blue tetrahedral cobalt(II) compounds Co(pptu)2Cl2 and Cp(pptu)Cl2 respectively were prepared with bidentate A -2-(5-pico 1 y 1)- A"-pheny 11hiourea (pptu) chelated.508 Refluxing Co powder with thiourea in 4-methylpyridine provides a route to isothiocyanates, which form by decomposition of thiourea to ammonium thiocyanate509 with one product, Co(pic)4(NCS)2, characterized by a crystal structure. 

Various mixed tridentate ligands with P,N,0/S/N donor sets have been explored in Ni11 chemistry. For example, condensation of 2-(diphenylphosphino)aniline with substituted (5-chloro-, 5-nitro, 5-bromo-, 5-methoxy-, and 3-methoxy-) salicylaldehydes yields (253).697 The deprotonated ligand coordinates through its P,N,0 donor set in a square planar geometry with some distortion, which is probably due to the bulk of the phosphine group and to the bite angle of the P,N chelate. 

A monodentate palladium(II) complex trans-[Pd(py)2(H202)]2+ hydrolyzes Met-Aa amide bonds with a rate comparable with that promoted by [Pd(H20)3(0H)]+. Unlike Pd(H20)3(0H)]+, //chelated complex containing temed (A,A,AAA -tctramcthylcthylenediamine) hydrolyzes Met-Aa amide bonds with hydrolytic rate controlled by temed release. The action of the other two complexes, c -[Pd(ED-TA)C12] (EDTA = ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid) and cis-1,2-bis(2-formylglycinebenzene-sulfenyl)ethane Pd11 chloride differs from the action of similar complexes of U,v-[Pd(en)Cl2] and cw-[Pd(dtco-3-OH)Cl2] (dtco-3-OH = l,5-dithiacycooctan-3-ol).448...

The bonding mode is dependent on the nature of the metal centre as well as the steric or electronic properties of the imido substituent. For example, the M(CO)5 unit in the (AO-trigonal complex [W(CO)5 S(NMe)2 ] undergoes a 1,3-shift between the two nitrogen donors, whereas the tert-butyl forms a N,N -chelated [W(CO)4 S(NtBu)2 ] complex, as is also observed with main-group metal halides, e.g., [SnCl4 E(NtBu)2 ] (E=S, Se).153... 

This topic is dealt with in detail in the chapter by Real et al. In exploring other terminal N,N-chelating ligands in the [(NCX)2(N,N)Fe( -bpym)Fe(N,N) (NCX)2] system we obtained the hitherto unknown 1,10-phen complex [Fe(l,10-phen)(NCS)2]2( -bpym) [54], albeit without a crystal structure, a common phenomenon in this dinuclear series [7]. Magnetic studies (Fig. 1)... 

Sulfur-bound L-Met, as opposed to S,N-chelated L-Met, is more reactive as a ligand on Pt(II) and can be slowly replaced by N7 of G (95, 96). Transfer of Pt onto DNA via Met-containing peptides or proteins may therefore be possible. Monofunctional adducts of the type [Pt(en)(G)(L-Met-S)] appear to be very stable (97) and so methionine may play a role in trapping these adducts. Also, the high trans influence of S as a Pt(II) ligand can lead to the facile labilization of trans-am(m)ine ligands and this allows cisplatin to react with GMP faster in the presence of L-Met then in its absence (98), which introduces another route to DNA platination. 

Other important examples of immobilized palladium catalysts (48)-(50) which were employed in Heck, Suzuki-Miyaura and allylic alkylation reactions are summarized in Fig. 4.4 [123]. Catalyst (49) is particularly noteworthy as it is a recyc-able amphiphilic resin-supported P,N-chelating Pd-complex which performs asymmetric allylic alkylations in water.
