The redox-active metallaphosphine [Fe(dppe)(η(5)-C5Me5)(C≡C-PPh2)] reacts with [Pd(1,5-cod)Cl2] to give mono- and bis-phosphine coordinated palladium centres as a function of stoichiometry, and these complexes provide a stable redox-active platform which allows reversible one-electron {Fe(II)→Fe(III)(+)} oxidations within the palladium coordination sphere.

We present the insertion behavior of the alkyl-substituted germylene Ge(Flu) in different E-X σ bonds (E = Au, Si, Ge, Sn), first with the isolation of the germylgold complex (Flu)Ge(Cl)AuPPh. Afterward, the oxidative addition of GeCl to Ge(Flu) gives the digermane (Flu)Ge(Cl)GeCl, followed by a reductive elimination of GeCl and the formation of the oxidation product (Flu)GeCl. A comparable behavior is observed, with the homologues ECl (E = Si, Sn) stopping at different steps of the reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new type of redox-active arylazoformamide (AAF) ligands has been developed and used in palladium(II) precatalysts to enhance the efficiency of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction.
  • - The study found that using a 1.0 mol % (AAF)PdCl precatalyst with cesium carbonate in 1,4-dioxane at 90 °C for 24 hours resulted in excellent conversions to biphenyl products across numerous examples.
  • - In comparisons with other palladium and nickel complexes, the (AAF)PdCl complexes consistently outperformed others, suggesting they provide a novel and effective approach for redox-active palladium cross-coupling

N-H Bond Activation of Ammonia by a Redox-Active Carboranyl Diphosphine.

J Am Chem Soc

December 2024

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of South Carolina, 631 Sumter St., Columbia, South Carolina 29208, United States.

Article Synopsis
  • This study presents a new method for activating the N-H bond in ammonia at room temperature using a specific diphosphine compound, leading to a zwitterionic product.
  • Unlike traditional phosphorus-based methods that require structural constraints, this process relies on the teamwork of electron-rich phosphine centers and an electron-accepting carborane cluster.
  • The research highlights a unique, metal-free approach to ammonia oxidation through triple hydrogen atom abstraction, demonstrating that activation can occur in the presence of air and water without the need for metal catalysts.

The chemistry of bis(π-η:σ-η-pentafulvene)titanium complexes is characterized by a broad range of E-H activation and Ti-C functionalization reactions, whereas ferrocene derivatives are easily accessible and redox-active compounds. The reaction of ferrocenealdehyde and -ketones with bis(π-η:σ-η-pentafulvene)titanium complexes result in the formation of bimetallic complexes via insertion of the C=O double bond of the aldehyde/ketone into the Ti-C bond of the pentafulvene moiety. The reaction of bis(π-η:σ-η-pentafulvene)titanium complexes with ferrocenyl alcohols leads to alcoholate complexes via deprotonation of the OH group by the pentafulvene ligand.

Hybrid phosphines usually combine a phosphine moiety with another heteroatom secondary donor group in their structures while compounds equipped with hydrocarbyl π-donor moieties remain uncommon. This contribution reports the synthesis and structural characterization of the first P/π-allyl-chelating complexes that were obtained using the structurally flexible and redox-active ferrocene unit as the scaffold, . [PdCl(RPfcCHCHCH-η:κ)] (1R; R = Ph and cyclohexyl (Cy); fc = ferrocene-1,1'-diyl).
