A tetra(carboxylated) PCP pincer ligand has been synthesized as a building block for porous coordination polymers (PCPs). The air- and moisture-stable PCP metalloligands are rigid tetratopic linkers that are geometrically akin to ligands used in the synthesis of robust metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, the design principle is demonstrated by cyclometalation with Pd(II) Cl and subsequent use of the metalloligand to prepare a crystalline 3D MOF by direct reaction with Co(II) ions and structural resolution by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Pd-Cl groups inside the pores are accessible to post-synthetic modifications that facilitate chemical reactions previously unobserved in MOFs: a Pd-CH3 activated material undergoes rapid insertion of CO2 gas to give Pd-OC(O)CH3 at 1 atm and 298 K. However, since the material is highly selective for the adsorption of CO2 over CO, a Pd-N3 modified version resists CO insertion under the same conditions.

In our recent work, we revisited C-H and C-C bond activation in rhodium (I) complexes of pincer ligands PCP, PCN, PCO, POCOP, and SCS. Our findings indicated that an η-CCH agostic intermediate acts as a common precursor to both C-C and C-H bond activation in these systems. We explore the electronic structure and bonding nature of these precleavage complexes using electron density and molecular orbital analyses.

In this article, the synthesis of bis(phosphine), -PhPCHC(O)N(H)CHCHPPh- (1) (hereafter referred to as "PNHP" and its anionic form as "PNP") and its group 10 metal chemistry and catalytic studies are described. PNHP (1) on reaction with NiCl(DME) and PdCl(COD) afforded pincer complexes, [MCl{(PNP)κ-,,}] (M = Ni, 2; Pd, 3). A similar reaction of 1 with PtCl(COD) yielded a chelate complex, [PtCl{(PNHP)κ-,}] (4), which on further treatment with LiHMDS produced the 1,2-azaphospholene-phosphine complex, [PtCl(Ph){(-P(Ph)CHCONCHCHPPh-)κ-,}] (5) P-C/P-N bond metathesis.

A stereo- and regioselective Mn(I)-catalyzed hydroboration of terminal alkynes with pinacolborane (HBPin) is described. The hydroboration reaction is highly -selective in the case of aryl alkynes and -selective in the case of aliphatic alkynes. The reaction requires no additives or solvents and proceeds with a catalyst loading of 1 mol % at 50-70 °C.

Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of 1-octene as non-activated model substrate with neutral water as H-donor is reported, using [(PCP)Ir(H)(Cl)] (1) as the catalyst, to form octane with high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 96 % and a k of 87 s. Cyclic voltammetry with 1 revealed that two subsequent reductions trigger the elimination of Cl and afford the highly reactive anionic Ir(I) hydride complex [(PCP)Ir(H)] (2), a previously merely proposed intermediate for which we now report first experimental data by mass spectrometry. In absence of alkene, the stoichiometric electrolysis of 1 in THF with water selectively affords the Ir(III) dihydride complex [(PCP)Ir(H)] (3) in 88 % FE from the reaction of 2 with HO.

This density functional theory (DFT) study explores the efficacy of cooperative catalytic systems in enabling the ionic hydrogenation of N with H, leading to NH formation. A set of N-heterocyclic carbene-based pincer tungsten/molybdenum metal complexes of the form [(PCP)M(H)] (M = W/Mo) were chosen to bind N at the respective metal centres. Simultaneously, cationic rhodium/iridium complexes of type [Cp*M{2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl}(CHCN)] (Cp* = C(CH) and M = Rh/Ir), are employed as cooperative coordination partners for heterolytic H splitting.
