Homolytic N–H Activation of Ammonia: Hydrogen Transfer of Parent Iridium Ammine, Amide, Imide, and Nitride Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
The redox series [Ir(n)(NHx)(PNP)] (n = II-IV, x = 3-0; PNP = N(CHCHPtBu2)2) was examined with respect to electron, proton, and hydrogen atom transfer steps. The experimental and computational results suggest that the Ir(III) imido species [Ir(NH)(PNP)] is not stable but undergoes disproportionation to the respective Ir(II) amido and Ir(IV) nitrido species. N-H bond strengths are estimated upon reaction with hydrogen atom transfer reagents to rationalize this observation and are used to discuss the reactivity of these compounds toward E-H bond activation.

Direct access to parent amido complexes of rhodium and iridium through N-H activation of ammonia.
Ammonia is a low-cost and potentially valuable building block for almost every nitrogen-containing compound required by industry. There is an obvious interest in taking advantage of this chemical as feedstock in catalytic organic transformations to produce higher value products, issue that has began to be explored with some degree of success. However, most of late transition metal catalyzed rea...
متن کاملStepwise N-H Bond Formation From N2-Derived Iron Nitride, Imide and Amide Intermediates to Ammonia.
Reduction of N2 to ammonia in nature and in electrocatalysis takes place through 1-proton/1-electron steps, motivating efforts to experimentally study the steps during proton/electron transfer to well-characterized N2-derived species with bridging nitrides. We report here the protonation and reduction reactions of an N2-derived iron bis(nitride) complex (Rodriguez et al., Science, 2011, 334, 78...

Interest in catalytic functionalization of ammonia into higher-value nitrogen-containing products constitutes today a hot topic. However, productive participation of ammonia as substrate in homogeneous catalysis is normally hampered by the intrinsic high strength of the N–H bond, very difficult to activate by metal centres. Therefore, it is convenient to find alternative ways to achieve the for...

We demonstrate that non-stoichiometric lithium imide is a highly active catalyst for the production of highpurity hydrogen from ammonia, with superior ammonia decomposition activity to a number of other catalyst materials. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that the catalyst deviates from pure imide stoichiometry under ammonia flow, with active catalytic behaviour observed across a ...

Two new samples of poly(amide-imide)/nanocomposites containing bicyclo segment and dibenzalaceton moiety in the main chain were synthesized by a solution intercalation technique. Poly(amide-imide) (PAI) 8 as a source of polymer matrix was synthesized by the direct polycondensation reaction of N,N´-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic diimide 3 with 2,6-bis(4-amino...
