چکیده

Solvent dependent double C-H activation in an Ir(NHC)(2) system generates an agostically stabilized 14-electron complex featuring a face-capping bis(alkyl) tethered NHC ligand [NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene]. These activation processes are reversible, and the resulting ligand-derived hydrogen shuttle can be applied to the dehydrogenation of BN-containing substrates.

Remarkably stable chelating bis-N-heterocyclic carbene adducts of phosphorus(i) cations.

A convenient one-pot synthesis of chelating bis-N-heterocyclic carbene-ligated P(I) salts is described. The solid state structures of these remarkably stable phosphamethine cyanine dyes with various N-alkyl groups and counter-anions are reported, and initial reactivity results are discussed.

Deuteration of boranes: catalysed versus non-catalysed processes.

A dichotomy in the reactivity of B-H bonds is reported. A bis(N-heterocyclic carbene)-ligated iridium(III) complex can effect rapid deuteration of boronate esters at room temperature with low catalyst loadings; however, borane and 9-BBN both undergo deuteration in the absence of catalyst, and do not react with the iridium complexes. This is proposed to result from the inductive electron-withdra...

C-H and H-H activation at a di-titanium centre.

The reaction of the bis(pentalene)dititanium complex Ti2(μ:η5,η5-Pn†)2 (Pn† = C8H4(1,4-SiiPr3)2) with the N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene results in intramolecular C-H activation of one of the iPr methyl groups of a Pn† ligand and formation of a "tucked-in" bridging hydride complex. The "tuck-in" process is reversed by the addition of hydrogen, which yields a dihydr...

Synthesis and structural characterization of a binuclear iridium complex with bridging, bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene coordination of 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine.

Thermal activation of terpyridine in the presence of an unsaturated Ir(III) fragment stabilized by a hydrotris(pyrazolyl) borate ligand gives rise to mononuclear complex and binuclear , in which the polypyridine behaves, respectively, as a mono- or a bi-dentate N-heterocyclic carbene.

Responses to unsaturation in iridium mono(N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes: synthesis and oligomerization of [LIr(H)2Cl] and [LIr(H)2]+.

Highly unsaturated mono(N-heterocyclic carbene) Ir(iii) systems have been targeted via ligand abstraction protocols. Hydrogenation of Ir(IPr)(cod)Cl (1a) leads to the formation of the highly reactive (fluxional) trimer [Ir(IPr)(H)(2)Cl](3), while the related IMes system undergoes further C-H bond activation. Chloride abstraction from 1a prior to hydrogenation allows access to sources of the 12-...
