A cationic rhodium(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complex isolated as an aqua adduct

چکیده
The title complex, aqua-[1,3-bis-(2,6-diiso-propyl-phen-yl)imid-az-ol-2-yl-idene](η(4)-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)rhodium(I) tetra-fluor-ido-borate, [Rh(C(8)H(12))(C(27)H(36)N(2))(H(2)O)]BF(4), exihibits a square-planar geometry around the Rh(I) atom, formed by a bidentate cyclo-octa-1,5-diene (cod) ligand, an N-heterocylcic carbene and an aqua ligand. The complex is cationic and a BF(4) (-) anion balances the charge. The structure exists as a hydrogen-bonded dimer in the solid state, formed via inter-actions between the aqua ligand H atoms and the BF(4) (-) F atoms.

The mesomeric betaine imidazolium-1-ylphenolate forms a borane adduct with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane by coordination with the phenolate oxygen, whereas its NHC tautomer 1-(2-phenol)imidazol-2-ylidene reacts with (triphenylphosphine)gold(I) chloride to give the cationic NHC complex [Au(NHC)2][Cl] by coordination with the carbene carbon atom. The anionic N-heterocyclic carbene 1-(2-phenolate)...

gem-Selective cross-dimerization and trimerization of silylacetylenes with alkynes via C-H activation using a rhodium(I)-pyridine-Nheterocyclic carbene catalyst have been developed. This protocol is applicable to variety of aliphatic or aromatic terminal alkynes, internal alkynes and gem-1,3-disubsituted enynes to afford the corresponding enynes and dienynes with high regioand stereoselectiviti...

A rhodium(i) and a ruthenium(ii) complex with a caffeine derived N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand were biologically investigated as organometallic conjugates consisting of a metal center and a naturally occurring moiety. While the ruthenium(ii) complex was largely inactive, the rhodium(i) NHC complex displayed selective cytotoxicity and significant anti-metastatic and in vivo anti-vascular a...
متن کاملOxidation-promoted activation of a ferrocene C-H bond by a rhodium complex.
The oxidation of a rhodium(I) complex containing a ferrocene-based heterodifunctional phosphine N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand produces a stable, planar chiral rhodium(III) complex with an unexpected C-H activation on ferrocene. The oxidation of rhodium(I) to rhodium(III) may be accomplished by initial oxidation of ferrocene to ferrocenium and subsequent electron transfer from rhodium to f...
