Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Reactivity Studies of Low coordinate Late Transition Metal Complexes and the Preparation and Characterization of a Low coordinate Samarium Complex written by Pei Zhao and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on the synthesis, characterization and reactivity study of terphenyl ligand stabilized bis([mu]-oxo) dimeric iron and cobalt complexes. The synthesis and characterization of low-coordinate cobalt alkyl and iron alkyl complexes are also described. In addition, it describes the preparation of the first monomeric homoleptic solvent-free bis(aryloxide) lanthanide complex. The solid state structures of new compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Magnetic properties of paramagnetic compounds were measured by superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) or Evans' methods for solid state or solution phase, respectively. The new compounds were also characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Furthermore, infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry and elemental analysis were employed to characterize some of the compounds when applicable. In some cases, DFT calculations were applied to elucidate the bonding and energy levels of molecular orbitals in the complexes. In Chapter 2, The bis([mu]-oxo) dimeric complexes {Ar[superscript iPr8]OM([mu]-O)}2 (Ar [superscript iPr8] = -C6H-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-[superscript i]Pr3)2-3,5-[superscript i]Pr2; M = Fe or Co) were prepared by oxidation of the metal (I) half-sandwich complexes {Ar[superscript iPr8]M([eta]6-arene)} (arene = benzene or toluene; M = Fe or Co). The iron species {Ar[superscript iPr8]OFe([mu]-O)}2 was prepared by reacting {Ar[superscript iPr8]Fe([eta]6-benzene)} with N2O or O2 and the cobalt species {Ar[superscript iPr8]OCo([mu]-O)}2 was prepared by reacting {Ar[superscript iPr8]Co([eta]6-toluene)} with O2. Both {Ar[superscript iPr8]OFe([mu]-O)}2 and {Ar[superscript iPr8]OCo([mu]-O)}2 were characterized by X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and, in the case of the iron species, by Mössbauer spectroscopy. The solid-state structures of both compounds reveal unique M2([mu]-O)2 (M = Fe or Co) cores with formally three-coordinate metal ions. The Fe···Fe separation in {Ar[superscript iPr8]OFe([mu]-O)}2 bears a resemblance to that in the Fe2([mu]-O)2 diamond core proposed for the methane monooxygenase intermediate Q. The structural differences between {Ar[superscript iPr8]OFe([mu]-O)}2 and {Ar[superscript iPr8]OCo([mu]-O)}2 are reflected in rather differing magnetic behavior. Compound {Ar[superscript iPr8]OCo([mu]-O)}2 is thermally unstable and its decomposition at room temperature resulted in the oxidation of the Ar[superscript iPr8] ligand via oxygen insertion and addition to the central aryl ring of the terphenyl ligand to produce the 5,5'-peroxy-bis[4,6-[superscript i]Pr2-3,7-bis(2,4,6-iPr3-phenyl)oxepin-2(5H)-one]. The structure of the oxidized terphenyl species is closely related to that of a key intermediate proposed for the oxidation of benzene. In Chapter 3, the homoleptic, cobalt(I) alkyl [Co{C(SiMe2Ph)3}]2 was prepared by reacting CoCl2 with [Li{C(SiMe2Ph)3}(THF)] in a 1:2 ratio though the initial intent was to synthesize a dialkyl cobalt (II) complex. Attempts to synthesize the corresponding iron(I) species led to the iron(II) salt [Li(THF)4][Fe2([mu]-Cl)3{C(SiMe2Ph)3}2]. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The structure of [Co{C(SiMe2Ph)3}]2 consists of dimeric units in which each cobalt(I) ion is [sigma]-bonded to the central carbon of the alkyl group -C(SiMe2Ph)3 and [pi]-bonded to one of the phenyl rings of the -C(SiMe2Ph)3 ligand attached to the other cobalt(I) ion in the dimer. The structure of [Li(THF)4][Fe2([mu]-Cl)3{C(SiMe2Ph)3}2] features three chlorides bridging two iron(II) ions. Each iron (II) ion is also [sigma]-bonded to the central carbon of a terminal -C(SiMe2Ph)3 anionic ligand. The magnetic properties of [Co{C(SiMe2Ph)3}]2 reveal the presence of two independent cobalt (I) ions with S = 1 and a significant zero-field splitting of D = 38.0(2) cm−1. The magnetic properties of [Li(THF)4][Fe2([mu]-Cl)3{C(SiMe2Ph)3}2] reveal extensive antiferromagnetic exchange coupling with J = -149(4) cm−1 and a large second-order Zeeman contribution to its molar magnetic susceptibility. Formation of the alkyl [Co{C(SiMe2Ph)3}]2 and the halide complex [Li(THF)4][Fe2([mu]-Cl)3{C(SiMe2Ph)3}2] under similar conditions is probably due to the fact that Co(II) is more readily reduced than Fe(II). Some other synthetic routes were also attempted to synthesize a dialkyl cobalt (II) complex and they are described in this chapter. Neither [Co(NPh2)2]2 nor cobaltocene reacts with [Li{C(SiMe2Ph)3}(THF)] to afford a dialkyl cobalt (II) complex. Metathesis reactions of cobalt halides with lithium salts of alkyl ligand HCPh2R (R = -Ph or -SiMe3) resulted in the reduction of cobalt (II) to cobalt metal and the coupling of ligands, which indicate that homolytic cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond was probably involved in the metathesis reactions. Furthermore, in chapter 4, reaction of Sm[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 with two equivalents of bulky aryloxide ligand HOAr[superscript iPr6] (Ar[superscript iPr6] = -C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-[superscript i]Pr3)2) afforded the first monomeric homoleptic solvent-free bis(aryloxide) lanthanide complex Sm(OAr[superscript iPr6])2. The complex was characterized by crystallography, UV-Visible spectrum, IR and magnetically by the Evans' method. The O-Sm-O angle is bent at 111.08(9)̊. The samarium ion in Sm(OAr[superscript iPr6])2 also shows weak interactions with the flanking aryl rings of the terphenyloxide ligands. The complex is paramagnetic at room temperature with magnetic moment of 3.51 [mu]B.

Book Low coordinate Terphenyl Transition Metal Complexes

Download or read book Low coordinate Terphenyl Transition Metal Complexes written by Hao Lei and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dissertation focuses on the synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of low-coordinate terphenyl complexes of cobalt, iron, manganese and chromium. It also includes the discussion of preparation of low-valent heavier group 14 element terphenyl complexes. Single crystal X-ray crystallography was applied to establish the formulation and solid state structures of all new compounds. Due to the paramagnetic nature of most of these species, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and Evans' method were essential to study the magnetic properties in the solid and solution phase, respectively, which help elucidate the electronic structures of these new organometallic complexes. For diamagnetic samples, multi-nuclear NMR were employed. Furthermore, these new compounds were also characterized by UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy. In some cases, DFT calculation methods were also used to investigate the electronic structures and bonding schemes of these new complexes.

Book Synthesis  Characterization and Reactivity of Some Low coordinate  Low oxidation State Heavier Main Group 14 Element Species

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Reactivity of Some Low coordinate Low oxidation State Heavier Main Group 14 Element Species written by Madison Louis McCrea-Hendrick and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of some low-coordinate, low-oxidation state heavier main group 13 and 14 element species. Chapter 2 describes the reactivity of the heavier main group 13 element digallene, (GaAr[superscript iPr4])2, (Ar[superscript iPr4] = -C6H3-2,6-(C6H3-2,6-[superscript i]Pr2)2) with group 6 transition metal hexacarbonyls under photoirradiation to form the bis(gallanediyl) complexes, trans-bis(GaAr[superscript iPr4])2M(CO)4 (M = Cr, Mo, or W). The mechanism of formation of these products was investigated both computationally and experimentally. A postulated intermediate in their formation is the monogallanediyl complex, Ga(Ar[superscript iPr4])Mo(CO)5 which was synthesized by the reaction (GaAr[superscript iPr4])2 with two equivalents Mo(CO)5NMe3. (GaAr[superscript iPr4])2 was also reacted at 25°C with Co2(CO)8 to give Ga(Ar[superscript iPr4])Co2(CO)7, in which the gallanediyl fragment is bound to each cobalt atom in a bridging fashion. Chapter 3 is an extension of the work in Chapter 2 to the reactions of the heavier main group 14 element dimetallynes, (EAr[superscript iPr4])2 (E = Ge or Sn), with group 6 transition metal hexacarbonyls under photoirradiative conditions. These reactions afforded the products {Ar[superscript iPr4]EM(CO)4}2 (E = Ge or Sn; M = Cr, Mo, or W) which featured rhomboid E2M2 cores with Ar[superscript iPr4]E units bridging transition metal tetracarbonyl fragments, M(CO)4. Chapter 4 describes the reactions of the aryl tin(II) hydrides {Ar[superscript iPr6]Sn([mu]-H)}2 (Ar[superscript iPr6] = C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-[superscript i]Pr6)2) and {Ar[superscript iPr4]Sn([mu]-H)}2 with phenyl acetylene and diphenyl acetylene. The reactions with diphenyl acetylene affords simple insertion of the Sn-H bond into a [pi]-bond of the alkyne to yield the products ArSnC(Ph)C(H)Ph (Ar = Ar[superscript iPr6] or Ar[superscript iPr4]). In contrast, the reaction of {ArSn([mu]-H)}2 with phenyl acetylene affords different products that are connected with the presence (Ar[superscript iPr6]) or absence (Ar[superscript iPr4]) of an isopropyl group at the remote para position of the flanking aryl rings of the terphenyl substituent. When {Ar[superscript iPr6]Sn([mu]-H)}2 is reacted with phenyl acetylene the product Ar[superscript iPr6](H)SnC(H)C(Ph)Sn(H)Ar[superscript iPr6] containing a 1,2-distannacyclobut-3-ene moiety is obtained as a colorless solid. In contrast, the reaction of {Ar[superscript iPr4]Sn([mu]-H)}2 with phenyl acetylene affords a red product of formula Ar[superscript iPr4]SnC(H)C(Ph)Sn(H)2Ar[superscript iPr4] with the tin atoms having different oxidation states of +2 and +4 as determined by solution 119Sn NMR spectroscopy. Chapter 5 describes the synthesis and characterization of the most sterically congested tetrylenes currently known: E(Ar[superscript iPr6])2 (E = Ge, Sn, or Pb). Computational studies of these tetrylenes and E(Ar[superscript Me6])2 (Ar[superscript Me6] = C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-Me3)2) and E(Ar[superscript iPr4])2 were also performed with and without dispersion corrections to evaluate the contribution of London dispersion force effects on the C[subscript ipso]-E-C[subscript ipso] interligand angle.

Book Synthesis  Characterization and Reactivity of Ylidyne and    Ylido Complexes Supported by Scorpionato Ligands

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization and Reactivity of Ylidyne and Ylido Complexes Supported by Scorpionato Ligands written by Priyabrata Ghana and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the development of the first open-shell heavier tetrylidyne complexes featuring a tetrel-centered unpaired electron, and unprecedented metallatetrylidynes containing a multiply-bonded, linear-coordinated single heavier tetrel atom embedded between two metal centers. The chemistry of compounds featuring triple bonds of the heavier Group-14 elements Si–Pb with transition metals is a very challenging research area, which combines modern molecular main-group element with transition-metal chemistry, and is of fundamental importance for the understanding of chemical bonding. During the last 15 years, the research in this area has witnessed considerable progress in isolating a series of closed-shell tetrylidyne complexes. However, despite numerous attempts, open-shell tetrylidyne complexes and heavier group 14 element congeners of metallacarbynes and carbide complexes remained inaccessible. In this book, readers will find more about the reactivity studies of these novel complexes that uncovered a plethora of exceptional products, including a novel m3-silicido complex, the first dimetallasilacumulene with a linear, two-coordinated single silicon atom and the first compounds of planar tetracoordinated silicon (ptSi) (Anti-van’t Hoff-Le Bell Silicon). Readers will also learn about the isolation and full characterization of the first room-temperature stable disilavinylidene, a silicon analogue of the very reactive vinylidenes (R2C=C:), and the first intermetallic plumbylidyne ligand transfer reactions.

Book Synthesis of Low coordinate Transition Metal Bis alkoxide  Complexes and Their Reactivity Toward Small Molecules

Download or read book Synthesis of Low coordinate Transition Metal Bis alkoxide Complexes and Their Reactivity Toward Small Molecules written by Maryam Yousif and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focused on the synthesis of new transition metal complexes in bis(alkoxide) ligand environments and the investigation of their reactivity in nitrene-group transfer catalysis and small molecule activation. Treatment of Cr(N(SiMe3)2)2(THF)2 with two equivalents of HOR (OR = OCtBu2Ph) led to the formation of the chromium(II) alkoxide dimer, Cr2(OR)4. Upon the reaction with bulky aryl and alkyl azides, Cr2(OR)4 led to the stable Cr(IV) mono(imido) complexes, Cr(OR)2(NR), featuring trigonal planar metal centers. In contrast, less bulky aryl azides led to the formation of chromium (VI) bis(imido) complexes Cr(OR)2(NR)2, independent of the amount of azide used. Chromium(IV) mono(imido) species Cr(OR)2(NR) is capable of nitrene transfer to isocyanides to form asymmetric carbodiimides (RNCNR'). When excess isocyanide is added to Cr(OR)2(NR), a new chromium(II) complex, Cr(OR)2(CNR2)4, was identified by X-ray crystallography. This tetrakis(isocyanide) chromium(II) complex is also capable of forming carbodiimide when azide is introduced. Efficient catalytic formation of carbodiimides was obtained using 2.5 mol% of Cr2(OR)4 for the mixtures of bulky organoazides and isocyanides; no catalytic reactivity was observed for the non-bulky aryl azides. DFT calculations suggest that trigonal CrIV(OR)2(NR) intermediate is the key species in the reaction mechanism as, due to it coordinative unsaturation, it allows isocyanide binding to the metal, which enables subsequent C-N bond formation. A bulkier alkoxide ligand HOR' (R = CtBu2(3,5-Ph2Ph)) was synthesized by lithium halogen exchange reaction. The protonolysis of the metal complexes, M(N(SiMe3)2(THF)x, with HOR' enabled an easy isolation of new bis(alkoxide) precursors M(OR')2(THF)2 (where M = Cr, Co, Fe) featuring cis-divacant octahedral geometry. The chemistry of the iron bis(alkoxide) compound Fe(OR')2(THF)2 with the variety of aryl azides was investigated.

Book Synthesis and Reactivity of Transition Metal Complexes Bearing the Tridentate Bis 2 mercapto p tolyl amine   SNS H 3  Ligand

Download or read book Synthesis and Reactivity of Transition Metal Complexes Bearing the Tridentate Bis 2 mercapto p tolyl amine SNS H 3 Ligand written by Kyle Evan Rosenkoetter and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work described herein focuses on the synthesis and characterization of new heterobimetallic complexes containing the redox-active W[SNS] 2 metalloligand and investigation into their electronic properties and reactivity. Most recent studies have explored the redox nature of the [SNS]H 3 scaffold through the synthesis and reactivity of a novel set of square-planar nickel complexes.Chapters 2 and 3 describe a modular synthetic approach towards generating a new series of heterobimetallic complexes with the general formula W[SNS]2M(L) ([SNS] = bis(2-mercapto- p-tolyl)amine; M = Ni, Pd, or Pt; and L = dppe, depe, dmpe, dppp, PR'2NRPR'2 (R = phenyl, benzyl; R'=phenyl), DPEphos or dppf). The complexes were prepared by a salt metathesis of Cl2MII(L) with the previously reported W[SNS]2 coordination complex under reducing conditions. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed interesting coordination geometries about the appended Group 10 metal centers moving from Pt and Pd (pseudo-square planar) to the first row Ni (pseudo-tetrahedral) analogue. These complexes demonstrate formal metal--metal bond formation across the series with a tunable first oxidation potential up to 600 mV.Chapter 4 investigates the use of W[SNS]2Ni(dppe) as a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of protons to hydrogen. This complex was found to catalytically generate hydrogen with an overpotential of 700 mV, a TOF of 14 sec--1, and a Faradaic yield of 80 +/- 3 % using 4-cyanoanilinium tetrafluoroborate in non-aqueous solutions.Chapter 5 demonstrates the effect of exchanging the nickel center of the heterobimetallic complexes discussed in Chapters 2 and 3 with other first row transitions metal ions (i.e. cobalt and copper). Analysis into the observed metal--metal distances reveal stark differences across the series. Additionally, the copper ion containing complexes demonstrate dynamic behavior in solution.Chapter 6 investigates the synthesis and reactivity of a series of monomeric square-planar nickel complexes of the [SNS] scaffold to demonstrate the ligand as redox, proton, and hydrogen atom non-innocent.Appendix A illustrates the electrochemical responses observed for the monoanionic complexes from Chapter 6 in the presence of CO2 and CO. Appendices B and C describe the synthesis and characterization of a five-coordinate cobalt and a heterotrimetallic tungsten-nickel complex, respectively.

Book Synthesis  Characterization And Catalytic Activity Of Ba II  Complexes

Download or read book Synthesis Characterization And Catalytic Activity Of Ba II Complexes written by Rohit Patel and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-25 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to explain the formulae and structures of the complex compounds or complexes, formed by transition metal salts with molecular species such as ammonia, Werner coined the terms primary valence and secondary valence.. These concepts remain valid today except that the term oxidation state has replaced 'primary valence' and the term coordination number has replaced 'secondary valence' Werner had recognized that a transition metal salt could form a complex compound in which the metal ion became bonded to a number of groups which need not necessarily be the counter anions originally present in the salt. The orientations in space of these metal-bond groups would lead to the complex having a particular geometric structure. Coordination compound has always been a challenge to the inorganic chemistry. The scientists of coordination of compound are Kooser, Lewis, Sidgwick, etc.
