Monooxo Mo(V) complexes of a N2O heteroscorpionate ligand designated (L10O) are found to exist as isolable cis and trans isomers. We have been able to trap the kinetically labile cis isomer and follow its isomerization to the thermodynamically more stable trans form. We have also followed the kinetics of isomerization between the cis and trans isomers of the corresponding dioxo Mo(VI) and W(VI) species. Here the trans is the labile isomer that spontaneously converts to the thermodynamically more stable cis. It is observed that at 60 degrees C in DMSO the Mo(VI) complex isomerizes approximately 6.5 times faster than the Mo(V) and nearly 5 times faster than the corresponding W(VI) analogs. The temperature dependence to the kinetics of the Mo(V) and Mo(VI) isomerizations give activation parameters that are similar for both oxidation states and consistent with those previously observed in [(L1O)MoOCl2] suggesting a similar twist mechanism is operating in all cases. Thus there are oxidation state, metal ion and donor atom dependent differences in isomeric stability that could have significant implications for understanding the mechanisms of both enzymatic and nonenzymatic oxo atom transfer reactions catalyzed by complexes of Mo, W and Re.

A series of rhenium and manganese carbonyl complexes of a heteroscorpionate ligand with an atypical NP-donor set has been prepared to better understand their electronic and CO releasing properties. Thus, the ligand, pzTTP, with an ,-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)tolyl group decorated with an -situated di(-tolyl)phosphanyl reacts with carbonyl group 17 reagents to give [-(κNP-pzTTP)Re(CO)Br], 1, and [-(κNP-pzTTP)M(CO)](OTf = OSCF), 2-M (M = Re, Mn), if care is taken during the preparation of the manganeses derivative. When heated in CHCN, 2-Mn slowly transforms to [,-(κNP-pzTTP)Mn(CO)(NCCH)](OTf), 3-Mn.

In this paper, we report the synthesis of six novel triazole-based heteroscorpionate ligands based on heterocycle metathesis reactions and their iron(II) complexes. Single crystal structure analyses were performed, the spectroscopic and magnetic properties of the obtained complexes were studied and their spin crossover-structural relationships were compared to those obtained for their pyrazole-based analogues reported in the literature. In particular, the amino derivative complex bis[hydrobis(pyrazol-1-yl)(3-amino-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)]iron(II) obtained by post-synthetic catalytic nitro-group reduction under pressure of hydrogen in an autoclave presents a scarce gradual spin crossover behavior at room temperature.

Locally high-spin iron hydrides are proposed to play a critical role as intermediates in iron-molybdenum cofactor (FeMoco)-catalyzed N fixation. Inspired by these biological systems, we report herein our initial investigations into low-coordinate iron hydride chemistry supported by our N,N,C-heteroscorpionate ligands. Those ligands with smaller steric profiles are unable to completely suppress the formation of a binuclear [Fe(μ-H)] complex; however, the incorporation of more substantial steric bulk allows for the isolation of a rare example of a terminal, high-spin ( = 2) Fe hydride.

Article Synopsis
- Novel alkyl zinc complexes with acetamidate/thioacetamidate ligands were synthesized and showed varying coordination modes influenced by their electronic and steric properties.
- These complexes were found to effectively catalyze hydroelementation reactions of alkynyl alcohol/acid substrates, leading to enol ether or unsaturated lactone products under mild conditions.
- Kinetic studies revealed that the reactions are first-order with respect to the catalyst and zero-order in alkynyl substrate, while DFT calculations indicated a mechanism involving an alkoxide-zinc intermediate formed through protonolysis of the Zn-alkyl bond.
