A series of molybdenum complexes bearing α-diimine, N,N′-diarylideneethylenediamine, and isonitrile ligands have been prepared and evaluated for their ability to catalyze alkylations by using allyl acetates and especially allyl sulfones. (bpy)Mo(CH3

Electronic absorption spectra have been obtained immediately following the photolysis of M(CO)6 solutions containing diimine ligands (1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,4-diazabutadiene, or their derivatives) with the use of a microprocessor-controlled diode-array UV-visible spectrophotometer. The time-dependent spectra illustrate rapid formation of a reaction intermediate that is assigned to be M(CO)5L, where L is a diimine ligand coordinated in a monodentate fashion. Monodentate M(CO)5L subsequently extrudes CO thermally via a first-order kinetic process to form stable M(CO)4L. No discernable M(CO)5L intermediates were observed when L = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or a phen derivative consistent with the rigid coplanar nature of these ligands. In contrast, the chelation of M(CO)5L complexes, where L = 2,2′-bipyridine, 1,4-diazabutadiene, or derivatives, proceeds with considerably slower reaction rates. The rate data are interpreted in terms of the stereochemistry of the monodentate intermediate. For a given ligand, the reaction rate decreases in the sequence Mo > Cr > W, analogous to the order of CO release in M(CO)6; this ordering suggests that the predominant barrier to chelation involves breaking of the M-C bond. Derived activation energy parameters indicate that the chelation reaction is enthalpy-controlled. The marked dependence of reaction rate on diimine and resulting negative activation entropy values imply that the chelation mechanism proceeds with a substantial associative component.
