The new iridium-gold complex Ir-4(CO)(11),(Ph)(mu-AuPPh3), 1 was obtained from the reaction of the tetrairidium anion [Ir-4(CO)(11)(Ph)](-) with [Au(PPh3)][NO3]. Two new iridium-gold complexes Ir-4(CO)(10)(AuPPh3)(2), 2, and Ir-4(CO)(11)(AuPPh3)(2), 3, were obtained from the reaction of [HIr4(CO)(11)](-) with [Au(PPh3)][NO3]. Compounds 1-3 were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compound 2 adds CO reversibly to form compound 3. In this process, the octahedral Ir4Au2 cluster of 2 is converted into the Au(PPh3)-capped Ir4Au trigonal bipyramidal cluster found in 3. Compounds 2 and 3 have been investigated by DFT computational analyses in order to understand the metal-metal bonding and the mechanism of their interconversion by CO addition and elimination. Compound 2 adds PPh3 to form the compound Ir-4(CO)(10)(PPh3)-(AuPPh3)(2), 4, which is structurally similar to 3. Compound 4 loses CO and benzene when heated to form the compound Ir-4(CO)(9)(mu(3)-PPhC6H4)(AuPPh3)(2), 5, which contains a triply bridging PPhC6H4 ligand.

Mechanistic Insights into Selective Hydrogenation of C=C Bonds Catalyzed by CCC Cobalt Pincer Complexes: A DFT Study

Zheng Zuo, Xinzheng Yang

Summary: Computational investigation using density functional theory revealed that the less stable dihydride isomer ((CCC)-C-Mes)Co(H)(2) is the real catalyst in hydrogenations of hex-5-en-2-one, isoprene, and 4-vinylcyclohex-1-ene. The turnover-limiting steps in all three reactions involve the formations of C-H bonds through H-2 cleavages. The selectivity of hydrogenation in different C=C bonds primarily depends on steric effects, while the selectivity between C=C and C=O bonds may be influenced by electronic effects.

C-C coupling of alkynes to the CH 2 group in a 1-phosphonioethenyl ligand in a zwitterionic dirhenium carbonyl complex

Richard D. Adams, Meenal Kaushal, Perry Pellechia, Mark D. Smith

Summary: The reactions of a dirhenium complex with terminal alkynes resulted in the formation of new ethoxy-substituted dirhenium complexes and a phenyl-substituted dirhenium complex. The products were characterized by the formation of bridging phosphonio-3,4-butenyl ligands through CO loss and alkyne addition and coupling reactions. The dynamic flip-flop exchange of the bridging ligand was observed in one of the compounds. Furthermore, additional compounds were obtained by heating reactions.

Racemic Benzenesulfonohydrazide Enantioconvergent Tertiary C(sp3)-H Amination Catalyzed by Copper and Chiral Phosphoric Acid: Mechanistic Insights and Computational Prediction

Rongrong Li, Xinzheng Yang

Summary: Density functional theory computations provide mechanistic insights into Cu and chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) catalyzed enantioconvergent amination of racemic benzenesulfonohydrazide. The O-O bond homolysis of tert-butyl 4-phenylbutaneperoxoate is the turnover-limiting step with a total free energy barrier of 19.1 kcal/mol. Enantioconvergent amination is achieved by obtaining the same intermediate through a prochiral carbon atom. The order and mode of hydrogen atom transfer by CPA and tert-butyloxy significantly influence the enantioselectivity and energy barriers. The olefinic side product generated by beta-hydride elimination is thermodynamically less favorable by 9.9 kcal/mol. A series of phosphoric acids are predicted as promising co-catalysts with lower barriers for O-O bond homolysis.

A radical mechanism for C-H bond cross-coupling and N2 activation catalysed by β-diketiminate iron complexes

Rongrong Li, Xinzheng Yang, Hongming Ping

Summary: Our density functional theory calculations revealed a radical mechanism for N-2 fixation and conversion catalyzed by a diketiminate-supported iron system, in which the Na(15-crown-5)* radical played a key role in the reaction. The attack of two Me3Si* radicals to distal nitrogen and the phenyl migration to proximal nitrogen gradually weakened and activated the N-N bond. The activation of the C-H bond was identified as the turnover-limiting step in the whole catalytic reaction.

Fluorinated 2,6-bis(arylimino)pyridyl iron complexes targeting bimodal dispersive polyethylenes: probing chain termination pathways via a combined experimental and DFT study

Qiuyue Zhang, Zheng Zuo, Yanping Ma, Tongling Liang, Xinzheng Yang, Wen-Hua Sun

Summary: In this study, fluorinated 2,6-bis(arylimino)pyridyl iron(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The complexes showed high activity in ethylene polymerization, with the least sterically demanding ligand exhibiting the highest activity. The endgroup analysis of the resulting polyethylenes revealed the co-existence of primary chain transfer to aluminum and secondary β-H transfer as chain termination pathways.

Mechanistic insights into the α-branched amine formation with pivalic acid assisted C-H bond activation catalysed by Cp*Rh complexes

Rongrong Li, Xinzheng Yang

Summary: Density functional theory calculations showed that pivalic acid assists in the C-H bond activation mechanism for the formation of alpha-branched amines catalyzed by rhodium. The active catalyst is the Cp*RhCl+ cation. The presence of both pivalic acid and NaHCO3 reduces the overall barrier of the catalytic cycle by facilitating the activation of the ortho-C(sp(2))-H bond in a concerted metallation deprotonation process.

Summary: The research reveals an unprecedented one-step C=C bond cleavage opening the buckybowl, offering access to previously inaccessible carbon-rich structures and demonstrating the potential for drastically different synthetic routes compared to traditional methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Through theoretical modeling and experimental analysis, the study evaluates mechanistic pathways for planarizing the buckybowl, factors influencing this transformation, and the possibility of charge transfer between open buckybowl and electron acceptors. Additionally, a nine-step solution-based approach is presented for preparing novel derivatives with estimated electronic structures and photophysical properties.

Unexpected binuclear O-O cleavage and radical C-H activation mechanism for Cu-catalyzed desaturation of lactone

Zhiyun Hu, Xinzheng Yang

Summary: The study using density functional theory revealed unexpected binuclear di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) homolysis with spin-crossover and a radical alpha-C-H bond activation mechanism in Cu-catalyzed desaturation of delta-valerolactone into alpha,beta-unsaturated counterparts. The rate-determining step was found to be the homolysis of the O-O bond in DTBP, while the alpha- and beta-H transfer steps had lower barriers than the O-O cleavage process. The substitution of CyPPh2 for pyridine in Cu complexes resulted in higher barriers for O-O bond cleavage and C-H bond activations with the formation of more stable binuclear Cu complexes.
