The divalent cobalt complex of the diprotic pincer ligand bis-pyrazolylpyridine, (H L)CoCl , is dehydrohalogenated twice by LiN(SiMe ) in the presence of PEt to give monomeric S=1/2 LCo(PEt ) (1), fully characterized in the solid-state and solution as a square pyramidal monomer with a long axial Co-P bond. This 17-electron species reacts in time of mixing with N O to form L Co (μ-OPEt ) (2)+3 OPEt , the former the first example of phosphine oxide bridging two transition metals. The same products are formed from O , and divalent cobalt persists even in the presence of excess oxidant. Species (2) catalyzes oxygen atom transfer (OAT) for generation of O=PEt from PEt from either N O or O . Bridging and terminal cobalt oxo intermediates are suggested, and the electron donor power, and potential redox activity of the dianionic pincer ligand is emphasized.

Recently, Beller and coworkers reported a study on the reversible hydrogenation of CO2 to formic acid using a Mn(I)-PN5P complex. In this paper, we performed DFT calculations to understand the mechanism for this reversible reaction occurring on the Mn-PN5P, Mn-PN3P, and Mn-PNP catalysts. Through investigating in detail two possible routes for CO2 hydrogenation to formic acid, we noticed that the production of formic acid is not thermodynamically favorable.

We present the synthesis, characterization, and photophysical properties of two pyrene-modified () pincer bismuth complexes, where the pyrenyl residues are either part of the cyclometalating pincer ligand (1) or bound as monodentate ligands to the Bi ion (2). Both complexes are dually emissive at 77 K. For complex 2, pyrenyl phosphorescence persists at r.

Functional pincer ligands that engage in metal-ligand cooperativity and/or are capable of redox non-innocence have found a great deal of success in catalysis. These two properties may be found in metal complexes of the 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (bpp) ligands. With this goal in mind, we have attempted the coordination of 2,6-bis(5-trifluoromethylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (LCF3) and its Bu analogue 2,6-bis(5--butylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (LtBu) to Mo(0) by reactions with mixed phosphine/carbonyl complexes [Mo(CO)(MeCN)(PMePh)] 1-3 (1 ≤ ≤ 3).

(PhPNP)Ru(H)(Cl)(CO) serves as a precatalyst to a variety of important catalytic transformations but most improvements have been restricted to the replacement of the CO ligand to the hydride or changing the Ph groups of the pincer for other aryl or alkyl groups. The ligand to the hydride is often another hydride and studies that utilize other ligands in catalysis are limited. In this work, we synthesized a series of [(PhPNP)Ru(H)(CO)(L)][BPh] complexes bearing isonitrile, PMe, or a N-heterocyclic ligand to the Ru-H.

Compounds featuring bonds between mercury and transition metals are of interest for their intriguing/ambiguous bonding and scarcely explored reactivities. We report herein the synthesis and reactivities of the new compound [(POCOP)Ni]2Hg, [Ni2Hg], featuring a trinuclear Ni-Hg-Ni core (POCOP = κP,κC,κP´-2,6-(i-Pr2PO)2C6H3). [Ni2Hg] reacts with CO2 to give the carbonate-bridged complex [Ni2CO3].
