Geometrically constrained dioxaphospholane rings were incorporated into a bis(phosphinimine)carbazole ligand (HL) in an effort to generate an ancillary ligand system that is capable of supporting reactive lutetium alkyl functionalities and resistant to cyclometalation reactivity. This new ligand was used to prepare a lutetium dialkyl species, LLu(CH2SiMe3)2; however, the complex exhibited low thermal stability at ambient temperature. This dialkyl compound was found to be highly susceptible to a cascading inter- and intramolecular reaction that resulted in the sole formation of an asymmetric bimetallic tetraalkoxide complex. The product of this reaction, generated by the ring-opening insertion of dioxaphospholane moieties into lutetium-carbon bonds, was characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Nickelacyclobutanes are reactive intermediates in catalytic cycles involving cyclopropanation and insertion reactions. The stoichiometric study of these intermediates has shown that their reactivity is highly influenced by the coordination environment of the nickel center. A pentacoordinated nickelacyclobutane embedded in a diphosphine pincer ligand has been shown to selectively undergo various reactions with exogenous ligands, including [2+2] cycloreversion and carbene transfer to an isocyanide.

ConspectusIn the past decade, single-atom skeletal editing, which involves the precise insertion, deletion, or exchange of single atoms in the core skeleton of a molecule, has emerged as a promising synthetic strategy for the rapid construction or diversification of complex molecules without laborious synthetic processes. Among them, carbene-initiated skeletal editing is particularly appealing due to the ready availability and diverse reactivities of carbene species. The initial endeavors to modify the core skeleton of heteroarenes through carbon-atom insertion could date back to 1881, when Ciamician and Denstedt described the conversion of pyrroles to pyridines by trapping haloform-derived free carbene.

A low-valent niobium species generated from NbCl and 1-methyl-3,6-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-cyclohexadiene (-Me-CHD) in combination with PPh catalyzed a [2+2+1]-cycloaddition reaction of 3,3-disubstituted cyclopropenes and 2 equiv of diaryl/dialkylalkynes, leading to isomeric mixtures of multisubstituted cyclopentadienes -. The initial catalyst activation process was a one-electron reduction of NbCl with -Me-CHD to provide [NbCl(μ-Cl) (L)] (L = PMePh (), L = PPh ()) in the presence of phosphine ligands. An NMR spectroscopic time course experiment using complex as the catalyst revealed an induction period for the product formation, corresponding to an additional one-electron reduction of by the substrates to give catalytically active η-alkyne complexes of NbCl.

Olefin metathesis, as a powerful metal-catalysed carbon-carbon bond-forming method, has achieved considerable progress in recent years. However, the complexity originating from multicomponent interactions has long impeded a complete mechanistic understanding of olefin metathesis, which hampers further optimization of the reaction. Here, we clarify both productive and hidden degenerate pathways of ring-closing metathesis by focusing on one individual catalyst, using a sensitive single-molecule electrical detection platform.

In this work, we focused on the systematic study of catalysts based on p-block elements from period 5, such as indium(iii), tin(ii), tin(iv) and antimony(iii) acetates, which displayed contrasting performances influenced by the oxidation state of the metal center. Analysis of the obtained oligomers by different techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF), revealed the selectivity of each catalyst toward the ROP of l-LA.
