Recently, the hydrophenoxylation of alkynes mediated by a gold catalyst has been shown to occur through a bimetallic process where the active species are [Au(OPh)(IPr)] and [Au((2)-alkyne)(IPr)](+). On the other hand, Cazin and co-workers have reported an improvement of the hydrophenoxylation reaction by using a combination of [Cu(OPh)(IPr)] and [Au((2)-alkyne)(IPr)](+). Herein, we performed DFT calculations to rationalize the performance of the Cu/Au bimetallic system. We have studied the rate determining step (rds) proposed by Poater et al. for the potential initial reagents PhO-[M] and alkyne-[M] species. Silver was also included in this study in order to understand the effect of the metal. Moreover, the effect of the steric hindrance on the rds was investigated with less sterically demanding ligands such as IMes, SIMes and IMe. Overall, the [Cu]/[Au] system was computed to be superior to the [Au]/[Au] system, but the [Ag]/[Au] couple exhibited the lowest energy barrier for the rds providing an enhancement of the heterometallic catalysis. We show that the rds is quite sensitive to the ligand steric hindrance.

A Non Expected Alternative Ni(0) Species in the Ni-Catalytic Aldehyde and Alcohol Arylation Reactions Facilitated by a 1,5-Diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane Ligand

Juliane Heitkaemper, Sergio Posada-Perez, Silvia Escayola, Miquel Sola, Johannes Kaestner, Albert Poater

Summary: For decades, efforts have been made to reduce the amount of metal reagents used in the synthesis of secondary alcohols. In 2021, Newman and collaborators pioneered a synthesis method using metals as catalytic engines rather than reactants. This paper presents a description of the process using Density Functional Theory calculations and attempts to shed light on the mechanism behind the attainment of secondary alcohols, emphasizing the debate on whether the catalytically active species is Ni(0) or if they take shortcuts following the course of Ni(II). Effective Orbital analyses provide a clear picture. Furthermore, this paper provides insight into both the nature of the ligands of the metal catalyst and the role of the base.

Density functional investigation of the interaction of H2O with spinel Li1-xMn2O4 surfaces: Implications for aqueous Li-ion batteries

Gibu George, Sergio Posada-Perez, Albert Poater, Miguel Sola

Summary: Aqueous lithium-ion batteries are promising large-scale energy storage technology due to their low-cost and environmentally friendly nature. However, the interaction between water and electrodes leads to fast degradation of the batteries. In this study, density functional theory simulations were used to investigate the behavior of Li1-xMn2O4 as a cathode material for aqueous batteries. The results reveal that a partially lithiated (011) surface can produce O2 at low overpotential, while a (001) termination can facilitate the presence of O and OOH intermediates at 1.23 V without generating O2. The study highlights the pros and cons of using Li1-xMn2O4 as a cathode material and the importance of surface termination in aqueous electrolytes.

Connectivity Defects in Metallo-Supramolecular Polymer Networks at Different Self-Sorting Regimes

Mostafa Ahmadi, Lucas Loeser, Gerard Pareras, Albert Poater, Kay Saalwaechter, Sebastian Seiffert

Summary: The properties of polymer networks are influenced by the presence of connectivity defects like loops and dangling ends. Transient polymer networks based on metallo-supramolecular polymer networks and hindrance can self-sort to develop networks with fewer defects. By using heteroleptic complexes and adjusting the coordination geometry preference, we can control the self-sorting process and reduce the formation of primary loops and dangling ends. Our results show that copper(I) can adopt the desired geometry requirements and create a network with the least number of defects.

Summary: In this study, the catalytic activity of a series of platinum(II) pre-catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands in the alkene hydrosilylation reaction is reported. The structural and electronic properties of these catalysts are fully characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). A structure-activity relationship within this group of pre-catalysts is established, and mechanistic insights into the catalyst activation step are provided. One of the complexes shows exceptional catalytic performance, achieving a turnover number (TON) of 970,000 and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 40,417 h(-1) at 1 ppm catalyst loading. Furthermore, a solvent-free and open-to-air alkene hydrosilylation protocol with efficient platinum removal (reducing residual Pt from 582 ppm to 5.8 ppm) is disclosed.

Stereoretentive Formation of Cyclobutanes from Pyrrolidines: Lessons Learned from DFT Studies of the Reaction Mechanism

Roger Monreal-Corona, Miquel Sola, Anna Pla-Quintana, Albert Poater

Summary: The mechanism for the stereospecific synthesis of cyclobutanes is revealed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The rate-determining step involves the release of N2 from the 1,1-diazene intermediate to form an open-shell singlet 1,4-biradical. The formation of the stereo-retentive product is explained by the barrierless collapse of this open-shell singlet 1,4-biradical. The methodology could potentially be used for the synthesis of [2]-ladderanes and bicyclic cyclobutanes.

Self-Sorting of Transient Polymer Networks by the Selective Formation of Heteroleptic Metal-Ligand Complexes

Mostafa Ahmadi, Albert Poater, Sebastian Seiffert

Summary: Advances in self-sorting mechanisms have led to the development of well-defined supra-molecular coordination complexes (SCCs) with unprecedented geometries. However, these advances have been rarely applied to the design of metallo-supramolecular polymer networks (MSPNs). To address this gap, steric hindrance was used as a self-sorting mechanism to construct MSPNs based on the formation of heteroleptic complexes. These results open up a promising interface between polymer science and coordination chemistry.

Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Amides by N-C Cleavage Mediated by Air-Stable, Well-Defined [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl2] Catalysts: Reaction Development, Scope, and Mechanism

Shiyi Yang, Xiang Yu, Yaxu Liu, Michele Tomasini, Lucia Caporaso, Albert Poater, Luigi Cavallo, Catherine S. J. Cazin, Steven P. Nolan, Michal Szostak

Summary: The Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction enables the construction of biaryl ketones from inert amide bonds. However, the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst effect in this reaction remain poorly understood. This study investigates the use of [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl-2] catalysts for amide N-C bond activation and presents the reaction development, kinetic studies, and reaction scope. DFT studies were also conducted to gain insight into the mechanism of C(acyl)-N bond oxidative addition and catalyst activation. The results suggest that [Pd(NHC)(sulfide)Cl-2] precatalysts could find application in C(acyl)-X bond activation in organic synthesis and catalysis.

Influence of the Ethanol Content of Adduct on the Comonomer Incorporation of Related Ziegler-Natta Catalysts in Propylene (Co)polymerizations

Mohammadreza Mehdizadeh, Fereshteh Karkhaneh, Mehdi Nekoomanesh, Samahe Sadjadi, Mehrsa Emami, HamidReza Teimoury, Mehrdad Salimi, Miquel Sola, Albert Poater, Naeimeh Bahri-Laleh, Sergio Posada-Perez

Summary: The influence of ethanol content in adducts on the catalytic behavior of Ziegler-Natta catalysts in propylene homo- and copolymerizations was investigated. The results showed that higher ethanol content in the adducts led to increased catalyst activity, particularly in homopolymerization reactions in the absence of H2. Additionally, the catalyst with the highest ethanol content produced a copolymer with lower isotacticity index and more uniform distribution of comonomer. These findings highlight the importance of controlling ethanol content in catalyst/support during the preparation process. Molecular simulation was also utilized to explain the iso-specificity of the polypropylene produced by the synthesized catalysts.

Summary: Replicating the enzymatic surface microenvironment in vitro is challenging, but constructing an analogous model could facilitate our understanding of surface effects and aid in developing an efficient bioinspired catalytic system. In this study, five unique Cu2O morphologies were generated, and the surface morphology variations were found to be a consequence of differences in the exposure of low-index facets. The reactivity of Cu2O was found to be influenced by the proportion of {110} planes, with r-Cu2O exhibiting the highest reactivity.
