We report the first application of a rigid P2N3 pincer ligand in p-block chemistry by preparing its bismuth complex. We also report the first example of bismuth complexes featuring a flexible PNP pincer ligand, which shows phase-dependent structural dynamics. Highly electrophilic, albeit thermally unstable, Bi(iii) complexes of the PNP ligand were also prepared.

An Earth-abundant Mn-PNP pincer complex-catalyzed terpenylation of cyclic and acyclic ketones and secondary alcohol 1-phenylethanol using isoprenoid derivatives prenol, nerol, phytol, solanesol, and E-farnesol as allyl surrogates is reported. The C-C coupling reactions are green and atom-economic, proceeding via dehydrogenation of alcohols following a hydrogen autotransfer methodology aided by metal-ligand cooperation.

This manuscript describes the synthesis of Os complexes supported by the diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer ligand. Compound (PNP)OsH(CO) () was prepared by analogy with the previously reported . However, attempts to make (PNP)OsH () analogously to resulted in the formation of an unexpected compound () that is a product of addition of a BH unit across the Os-N bond in .

Two T-shaped 14-electron rhodium complexes 2 a and 2 b, "framed" and thus stabilized by PNP pincer ligands have been synthesized. The bis(t-butyl)phosphine derived PNP-rhodium complex 2 a was isolated from pentane as the more stable cyclometalated Rh(III) hydrido complex and found to be in equilibrium with the T-shaped 14e Rh(I) complex 2 aT which itself could be directly crystallized upon change of the solvent. The cyclometallation is suppressed using an adamantyl substituted PNP ligand to give the analogous T-shaped Rh(I) species 2 b, stabilized through an agostic interaction with one of the adamantyl C-Hs.

Selective removal of the nitrogen atom from an aromatic -heterocycle, such as pyridine, is of significant interest and importance, yet it remains highly challenging. Here, we report an unprecedented denitrogenative ring-contraction reaction of pyridines at a dititanium hydride framework, yielding cyclopentadienyl and nitride species under mild conditions. The reaction of pyridine with a dititanium tetrahydride complex () bearing rigid acridane-based PNP-pincer ligands at room temperature produced a cyclopentadienyl/nitride complex (), in which the two Ti atoms are bridged by a nitride atom and one Ti atom is bonded to a cyclopentadienyl group formed by pyridine denitrogenation and ring-contraction.
