A new boron-based hybrid scorpionate ligand based upon one 2-mercaptopyridine (mp) and two 1-methyl-imidazoyl-2-thione (mt) units, Na[HB(mt)(2)(mp)] has been prepared. This new ligand together with the recently reported ligand K[HB(mp)(3)] have been used to prepare analogues of the original metallaboratrane complex [Ru(CO)(PPh(3)){kappa(4)-SSBS-B(mt)(3)}]. The effect of tautomerisation of the ligand arms upon the electronic properties of the boron and metal centres is examined in an attempt to probe further the nature of the metal-boron bond within metallaboratrane complexes.

Fe(III) complexes with -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands belong to the rare examples of Earth-abundant transition metal complexes with long-lived luminescent charge-transfer excited states that enable applications as photosensitizers for charge separation reactions. We report three new -NHC complexes of this class: [Fe(brphtmeimb)]PF (brphtmeimb = [(4-bromophenyl)tris(3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene)borate], [Fe(meophtmeimb)]PF (meophtmeimb = [(4-methoxyphenyl)tris(3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene)borate], and [Fe(coohphtmeimb)]PF (coohphtmeimb = [(4-carboxyphenyl)tris(3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene)borate]. These were derived from the parent complex [Fe(phtmeimb)]PF (phtmeimb = [phenyltris(3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene)borate] by modification with electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents, respectively, at the 4-phenyl position of the ligand framework.

Article Synopsis
  • A new hybrid material has been created by combining a C-scorpionate iron(II) complex with magnetic core-shell particles (FeO/TiO) for use in catalysis.
  • The material was specifically tested for its ability to catalyze the oxidation of secondary alcohols, using 1-phenylethanol as a model substrate.
  • The study also explored the effects of alternative energy sources like ultrasounds, microwaves, and mechanical or thermal energy on the oxidation process, revealing varied and interesting results.

A new coordination mode for the hybrid scorpionate/cyclopentadienyl ligand bpzcp, [bpzcp = 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,1-diphenylethylcyclopentadienyl] is observed in iridium complexes. The reaction of the lithium precursor, [Li(bpzcp)(THF)], with a range of [IrCl(diene)] compounds leads to an unprecedented binding mode of the hybrid scorpionate/cyclopentadienyl ligand as η-Cp-coordinated and the formation of Ir(I) derivatives [Ir(η-Cp-bpzcp)(η-cod)] (1), [Ir(η-Cp-bpzcp){η-CH═C(Me)C(Me)═CH}] (2), [Ir(η-Cp-bpzcp)(η-coe)] (3), and [Ir(η-Cp-bpzcp)(η-CH═CH)] (4). The Ir(I) complex 4 reacts with CO or bromine to afford the compound [Ir(η-Cp-bpzcp)(CO)] (5) and the 18e Ir(III) complex [Ir(κ-N-η-Cp-bpzcpBr)Br] (6), respectively.

The reactivity of hybrid scorpionate/cyclopentadienyl ligands in the form of the protio derivatives as a mixture of two regioisomers, namely bpzcpH [1-{2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,1-diphenylethyl}-1,3-cyclopentadiene and 2-{2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,1-diphenylethyl}-1,3-cyclopentadiene] and bpztcpH [1-{2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1-tert-butylethyl}-1,3-cyclopentadiene and 2-{2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1-tert-butylethyl}-1,3-cyclopentadiene], with the tris(silylamide) precursors [M{N(SiHMe2)2}3(thf)x] of rare earth metals (including the group 3 metals scandium and yttrium) is related to the atomic radii of the metal centres. The reaction with the precursor containing the smallest ion, [Sc{N(SiHMe2)2}3(thf)], did not proceed even heating at reflux temperature in toluene. The reaction with the precursors that contain a medium-sized metal ion, i.
