A high-performance Pd catalyst for selective olefin hydrogenation was synthesized by supporting Pd nanoparticles on nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (NCNTs). X-ray diffraction, hydrogen chemisorption, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize Pd supported on NCNTs and nitrogen-free oxygen-functionalized CNTs (OCNTs). The Pd nanoparticles were stabilized on NCNTs with narrower size distribution compared with OCNTs. The XPS analysis revealed that the nitrogen functional groups favor the reduction of Pd on CNTs suggesting an electronic promoter effect. The Pd/NCNT catalyst showed extraordinary catalytic performance in terms of activity, selectivity and stability in the selective hydrogenation of cyclooctadiene, which is related to the structural and electronic promoting effect of the NCNT support.

A series of Ir-PCP pincer precatalysts [(7-6-7-RPCP)Ir(H)(Cl)] and [(7-6-7-ArPCP)Ir(H)(Cl)(MeCN)] bearing a novel "7-6-7" fused-ring skeleton have been synthesized based upon the postulate that the catalytic species would have durability due to their rather rigid structure and high activity owing to the low but sufficient flexibility of their backbones, which are not completely fixed. Treatment of these precatalysts with NaOtBu gave rise to the active 14 electron (14e) species [(7-6-7-iPrPCP)Ir] and [(7-6-7-PhPCP)Ir], which can trap hydrogen and were spectroscopically characterized as the tetrahydride complexes. Both [(7-6-7-iPrPCP)Ir] and [(7-6-7-PhPCP)Ir] were found to be highly effective in the transfer dehydrogenation of cyclooctane with tert-butylethylene as the hydrogen acceptor, the initial reaction rate at high temperature (230°C) being higher for [(7-6-7-iPrPCP)Ir] than [(7-6-7-PhPCP)Ir], and the turnover number (TON) of the overall hydrogen transfer being higher for the latter. Nonetheless, the estimated TONs were as high as 4600 and 4820 for the two complexes at this temperature, respectively, which are unprecedented absolute values. In terms of durability, the [(7-6-7-PhPCP)Ir] complex is the catalyst of choice for this reaction. Structural analysis and computational studies support the importance of the low flexibility of the ligand core. Copyright

Restructuration of AuPd/CeO2 catalysts is observed during 1,5-cyclooctadiene hydrogenation, with gold surface segregation in which gold acts as a diluent of Pd surface sites. The composition of the catalyst influences the catalytic behavior, an
Isomerization of Cyclooctadiene to Cyclooctyne with a Zinc/Zirconium Heterobimetallic Complex

, p. 6951 - 6953 (2016)
Reaction of a zinc/zirconium heterobimetallic complex with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD) results in slow isomerization to 1,3-cyclooctadiene (1,3-COD), along with the formation of a new complex that includes a cyclooctyne ligand bridging two metal centers. While analogous magnesium/zirconium and aluminum/zirconium heterobimetallic complexes are competent for the catalytic isomerization of 1,5-COD to 1,3-COD, only in the case of the zinc species is the cyclooctyne adduct observed. Zn/Zr shows its mettle: Reaction of a Zn/Zr heterobimetallic complex with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (1,5-COD) results in slow isomerization to 1,3-cyclooctadiene (1,3-COD), along with the formation of a new complex that includes a cyclooctyne ligand bridging two metal centers. While analogous Mg/Zr and Al/Zr heterobimetallic complexes are competent for the catalytic isomerization of 1,5-COD to 1,3-COD, only the zinc species gives the cyclooctyne adduct.

A series of tert-butyl-substituted pincer ligands based on 1,3-diaminobenzene and 3-aminophenol scaffolds, tBu4PXCYP (1e, X = Y = NH; 1f, X = NH; Y = O) and the corresponding iridium hydridochloro complexes (tBu4PXCYP)IrHCl (2e, X = Y = NH; 2f, X = NH; Y = O) were prepared with moderate yields and high purity and were fully characterized by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. Unsymmetrical hybrid pincer ligands R2PNCOPtBu2 (1g, R = isopropyl; 1h, R = cyclohexyl) were prepared conveniently in high yield via a one-pot procedure by judiciously choosing reaction conditions and base; the corresponding iridium hydrido chloro complexes iPr2PNCOPtBu2IrHCl (2g) and Cy2PNCOPtBu2IrHCl (2h) were synthesized by the reaction of [IrCl(COE)2]2 with ligands. X-ray crystallography reveals that these iridium pincer complexes adopt similar square-pyramidal geometries and exhibit strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH linker and chloride ions of the adjacent iridium complex in the solid state. 1H NMR chemical shifts of tert-butyl based pincer ligated iridium hydrides move downfield when the electronegativity of the linker between the benzene backbone and phosphine moiety increases for 2a, 2e, 2f, and 2b. Accordingly the corresponding iridium pincer carbonyl complexes (tBu4PXCYP)Ir(CO), 3a, 3e, 3f, and 3b show a blue shift in the CO stretching frequency. The activities of iridium complexes containing NH linkers were briefly examined for transfer dehydrogenation from cyclooctane to tert-butylethylene; (iPr2PNCOPtBu2)IrHCl (2g) exhibits the highest activity among all tested iridium pincer complexes, including the most studied (tBu4PCP)IrHCl (2a) and (tBu4POCOP)IrHCl (2b). The enhanced catalytic activity could be related to combined electronic and steric effects of the NH/O hybrid linker and different alkyl groups at phosphorus. This new class of iridium pincer complexes could have great implications in catalytic transformation of polar compounds due to the strong hydrogen-bond-donating ability of the NH linker.

A homogenous metal hydride (M?H) catalyst for isomerization normally requires rigorous air-free techniques. Here, we demonstrate a highly efficient protocol in which simple non-redox metal ions as Lewis acids can promote olefin isomerization dramatically with a commercially available RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 complex in an open-flask system. Isomerization can be accomplished within a short time, and a satisfactory selectivity for different types of unsaturated compounds can be obtained. Meanwhile, an excellent turnover number up to 17208 was achieved under air, and open-flask gram-scale experiments further demonstrated the efficiency of the RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3/non-redox-metals system. We used FTIR spectroscopy, GC–MS, NMR spectroscopy and kinetics studies to evidence that in the sluggish RuH2(CO)(PPh3)3 catalyst, bloated PPh3 ligands cause steric hindrance for the coordination of the free alkene. Alternatively, the addition of non-redox metal ions could induce the dissociation of the PPh3 ligand to offer unoccupied coordination sites for the alkene and to form the Mg-bridged adduct OC?Ru?H2?Mg2+ as the highly active species, which benefited the isomerization significantly through the metal hydride addition–elimination pathway. Finally, this strategy was demonstrated as an impactful approach for hydride catalysts of other transition metals such as Os.

This work reports on the redox and acid–base properties of binuclear complexes of nickel from 1,4-terphenyldithiophenol ligands. The results provide insight into the cooperative electronic interaction between a dinickel core and its ligand. Donor/acceptor contributions flexibly adjust to stabilize different redox states at the metals, which is relevant for redox reactions like proton reduction. Proton transfer to the [S2Ni2] core and Ni?H bond formation are kinetically favored over the thermodynamically favored yet unproductive proton transfer to ligand.

, p. 15963 - 15969 (2016/10/22)
A novel electron deficient 4,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-phenylene diphosphinite ligand 4 was developed and synthesized. Reaction of Ir precursors with ligand 4 gave chloro(hydride) pincer complex 5, which demonstrated a higher TON in alkane dehydrogenation reactions compared to similar phosphinite based pre-catalysts. The formation of cyclooctene (COE) and tert-butylethylene adducts of the 14e catalysts was also studied and the COE adduct is implicated as the resting state of the catalyst. All compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and, in addition, the molecular structures of key complexes were confirmed by X-ray analysis.

Phosphonium-based Ionic Liquids (PhosILs) with natural organic derived anions (l-lactate, l-tartrate, malonate, succinate, l-malate, pyruvate, d-glucuronate, d-galacturonate, ferulate, p-coumarate) were easily prepared by acid-base method from tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide and an excess of the corresponding acid with good yields. Their characterization was realized through classical NMR, IR and elemental analysis techniques; their viscosity and ATG parameters were also determined. These ionic liquids showed good performance and recyclability in the selective Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes, polyenes like linoleic acid and enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated ketones such as isophorone at room temperature under atmospheric H2 pressure. Furthermore, NMR studies leading to computational calculations were performed to establish easily the composition of the resulting mixture obtained through the hydrogenation of linoleic acid.
Non-redox metal ions can promote Wacker-type oxidations even better than copper(II): A new opportunity in catalyst design

In Wacker oxidation and inspired Pd(ii)/Cu(ii)-catalyzed C-H activations, copper(ii) is believed to serve in re-oxidizing of Pd(0) in the catalytic cycle. Herein we report that non-redox metal ions like Sc(iii) can promote Wacker-type oxidations even better than Cu(ii); both Sc(iii) and Cu(ii) can greatly promote Pd(ii)-catalyzed olefin isomerization in which the redox properties of Cu(ii) are not essential, indicating that the Lewis acid properties of Cu(ii) can play a significant role in Pd(ii)-catalyzed C-H activations in addition to its redox properties. Characterization of catalysts using UV-Vis and NMR indicated that adding Sc(OTf)3 to the acetonitrile solution of Pd(OAc)2 generates a new Pd(ii)/Sc(iii) bimetallic complex having a diacetate bridge which serves as the key active species for Wacker-type oxidation and olefin isomerization. Linkage of trivalent Sc(iii) to the Pd(ii) species makes it more electron-deficient, thus facilitating the coordination of olefin to the Pd(ii) cation. Due to the improved electron transfer from olefin to the Pd(ii) cation, it benefits the nucleophilic attack of water on the olefinic double bond, leading to efficient olefin oxidation. The presence of excess Sc(iii) prevents the palladium(0) black formation, which has been rationalized by the formation of the Sc(iii)...H-Pd(ii) intermediate. This intermediate inhibits the reductive elimination of the H-Pd(ii) bond, and facilitates the oxygen insertion to form the HOO-Pd(ii) intermediate, and thus avoids the formation of the inactive palladium(0) black. The Lewis acid promoted Wacker-type oxidation and olefin isomerization demonstrated here may open up a new opportunity in catalyst design for versatile C-H activations.
