Metalloradical Reactivity of RuI and Ru0 Stabilized by an Indole‐Based Tripodal Tetraphosphine Ligand
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tripodal, tetradentate tris(1-(diphenylphosphanyl)-3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)phosphane PP3 -ligand 1 stabilizes Ru in the RuII , RuI , and Ru0 oxidation states. The octahedral [(PP3 )RuII (Cl)2 ] (2), distorted trigonal bipyramidal [(PP3 )RuI (Cl)] (3), and trigonal bipyramidal [(PP3 )Ru0 (N2 )] (4) complexes were isolated and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, EPR, IR, and ESI-MS. Both open-shell metalloradical RuI complex 3 and the closed-shell Ru0 complex 4 undergo facile (net) abstraction of a Cl atom from dichloromethane, resulting in formation of the corresponding RuII and RuI complexes 2 and 3, respectively.

Activation of H2 by a highly distorted Rh(II) complex with a new C3-symmetric tripodal tetraphosphine ligand.
Facile oxidation of a sterically encumbered Rh(I) complex generates a stable Rh(II) metalloradical species; the latter is able to activate H(2) under formation of the corresponding Rh(III) complex.

A new tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) capped tripodal Schiff base ligand has been developed by mimicking structural features of a natural siderophore, Bacillibactin, by substituting the catechol units with salicylaldehyde and employing amino acid as spacer. Synthesis of the ligand N-[2-[bis[2-[[2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]acetyl] amino]ethyl]amino]ethyl]-2-[(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]...

We have demonstrated a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of a novel imine based tridentate ligand and its Pd-complex to investigate the C-C cross-coupling reactions, that involve column chromatography purification in only one step. The catalytic activity of the newly synthesized catalyst was studied for the Suzuki, Sonogashira and, Heck cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions....

Electron-deficient dinuclear rhodium complexes [Rh2Cl2(μ-dpmppp)(RNC)] (1), with the linear tetraphosphine ligand dpmppp, showed reversible binding of molecular oxygen to form asymmetric dirhodium η(2)-peroxo complexes [Rh2Cl2(O2)(μ-dpmppp)(RNC)] (2) stabilized by a Rh→Rh dative bond.
متن کاملIron(II) Complexes Supported by Sulfonamido Tripodal Ligands: Endogenous versus Exogenous Substrate Oxidation
High-valent iron species are known to act as powerful oxidants in both natural and synthetic systems. While biological enzymes have evolved to prevent self-oxidation by these highly reactive species, development of organic ligand frameworks that are capable of supporting a high-valent iron center remains a challenge in synthetic chemistry. We describe here the reactivity of an Fe(II) complex th...
