2-(2'-Pyridyl)-3,4,5,6-tetraphenylpyridine 2 (HL), a ligand with both N,N-bidentate and N,N,C-terdentate coordination potential, was prepared in excellent yield by the Diels-Alder [2+4] cycloaddition of 2-cyanopyridine and tetraphenylcyclopentadien-1-one. Monometallic Pd(II) and Rh(III) complexes were formed which exhibit both types of ligand coordination (trans-[RhCl2(L)(NCMe)] 3, cis-[RhCl(L)(NCMe)2]PF6, cis-[RhCl2(HL)2]PF6 6, [RhCl(L)(HL)]PF6 7, [Rh(L)2]PF6 8, [Pd(OAc)(L)] 9 and [Pd(eta3-methallyl)(HL)]PF6) 10. The molecular structures of the ligand and six complexes, including the chloro-bridged dimer [RhCl(L)(micro-Cl)]2 5, were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Catalytic transformation of carbene species constitutes a fundamental part in organic synthesis, and the research in this direction has been dominated by transition metals while organic catalysts are difficult to mimic such transition-metal-like reactivity. It would significantly advance carbene chemistry if organic catalysts enable achieving classical metal-carbene approaches otherwise unrealizable reactions. Herein, we report that chalcogen bonding catalysis can solve reactivity problem to achieve an elusive Buchner ring expansion of aryl ketones appending a cyclopropene moiety as carbene precursor.

The power and ability of catalysis to build multiple C-C bonds in a single step has had a transformative impact on organic synthesis. While the reactivity of organohalides with metal catalysts is widely appreciated, the related and more intricate reactivity of acid chlorides is less so, despite their use as common reagents in synthesis. Here, we review the transformations of acid chlorides in combination with unsaturated C-C bonds catalyzed by palladium, rhodium, or iridium and provide an outlook for future research opportunities.
