We report the catalytic reduction of a C-O bond and the borylation by a rhodium complex bearing an X-Type PAlP pincer ligand. We have revealed the reaction mechanism based on the characterization of the reaction intermediate and deuterium-labeling experiments. Notably, this novel catalytic system shows steric-hindrance-dependent chemoselectivity that is distinct from conventional Ni-based catalysts and suggests a new strategy for selective C-O bond activation by heterobimetallic catalysis.

The reactivity of cobalt pincer complexes supported by the bulky tetramethylated PNP ligands Me4PNPR(R = iPr, tBu) has been investigated. In these ligands, the undesired H atom loss reactivity observed earlier in some classical CH2-arm PNP cobalt complexes is blocked, allowing them to be utilized for promoting two-electron catalytic transformations at the cobalt center. Accordingly, reaction of the formally CoIMe complex 3 with H2 under ambient pressure and temperature afforded the CoIII trihydride 4-H, in a reaction cascade reasoned to proceed by two-electron oxidative addition and reductive eliminations. This mechanistic proposal, alongside the observance of alkene insertion and ethane production upon sequential exposure of 3 to ethylene and H2, prompted an exploration into 3 as a catalyst for hydrogenation. Complex 4-H, formed in situ from 3 under H2, was found to be active in the catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes. The proposed two-electron mechanism is reminiscent of the platinum group metals and demonstrates the utility of the bulky redox-innocent Me4PNPR ligand in the avoidance of one-electron reactivity, a concept that may show broad applicability in expanding the scope of earth-abundant first-row transition-metal catalysis.

In situ lithiation of HN(o-C6H4PPh2)2 (H[1a]) or HN(o-C6H4PiPr2)2 (H[1b]) with nBuLi in THF at ?35°C followed by addition of [Ir(μ-Cl)(COD)]2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in toluene at ?35°C generates 5-coordinate [1a]Ir(η4-COD) (2a) or 4-coordinate [1b]Ir(η2-COD) (2b), respectively. Oxidative addition of N-H in H[1b] to [Ir(μ-Cl)(COD)]2 affords square pyramidal [1b]Ir(H)(Cl) (3b). Metathetical reaction of 3b with LiBHEt3 in the presence of 1 atm of H2 in toluene produces [1b]Ir(H)2 (4b). Both 2a and 4b are active for catalytic hydrogenation of olefins and alkynes under extremely mild conditions.
