New platforms for trinuclear complexes, 1,3,5-tris(fluoren-2-yl-R)benzene (Ph{2-FluRH}3; R = H (2a), 6-tBu (2b), 7-tBu (2c), Tet (2d) (Tet = 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-tetrahydrobenzofluorene), were synthesized via an acid-catalyzed cyclotrimerization of the corresponding substituted 2-acetylfluorenes. Subsequent nucleophilic addition of the [Ph{2-FluR}3]3? trianions onto 6,6,-dimethylfulvene afforded the corresponding isopropylidene-bridged pro-ligands Ph{Me2C(2-FluRH)(C5H5)}3 (3a-d). Discrete trinuclear tris(dichloro-ansa-zirconocene and hafnocene), Ph[{Me2C(2-FluR)(C5H4)}MX2]3 (X = Cl: 4b-d-Zr, 4c,d-Hf) were prepared by salt metathesis reactions. Some zirconium complexes were further alkylated towards the corresponding tris(dialkyls) (X = Me: 5c,d-Zr; X = CH2SiMe3: 6c-Zr). The structures of these metal complexes were determined by elemental analyses, and by 1D, inverse 2D heteronuclear correlation, and DOSY NMR spectroscopy, as well as by theoretical computations. Those studies revealed the existence of two isomers, of C3 and C1 symmetry respectively, originating from the mutual orientation of the three ansa-metallocene fragments. Preliminary studies on the catalytic performances of the dichloro complexes, upon activation with MAO, in ethylene and propylene homopolymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization were carried out and compared to those of the monometallic analogues under identical conditions.

Converting organoboron compounds into the corresponding radicals has broad synthetic applications in organic chemistry. To achieve these transformations, various strong oxidants such as Mn(OAc)3, AgNO3/K2S2O8, and Cu(OAc)2, in stoichiometric amounts are required, proceeding by a single-electron transfer mechanism. Established herein is a distinct strategy for generating both aryl and alkyl radicals from organotrifluoroborates through an SH2 process. This strategy is enabled by using water as the solvent, visible light as the energy input, and diacetyl as the promoter in the absence of any metal catalyst or redox reagent, thereby eliminating metal waste. To demonstrate its synthetic utility, an efficient acetylation to prepare valuable aryl (alkyl) methyl ketones is described and applications to construct C?C, C?I, C?Br, and C?S bonds are also feasible. Experimental evidence suggests that triplet diacetyl serves as the key intermediate in this process.
Synthesis of Fluorenes Starting from 2-Iodobiphenyls and CH2Br2 through Palladium-Catalyzed Dual C-C Bond Formation

A facile and efficient approach is developed for the synthesis of fluorene and its derivatives starting from 2-iodobiphenyls and CH2Br2. A range of fluorene derivatives can be synthesized under relatively mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via a tandem palladium-catalyzed dual C-C bond formation sequence through the key dibenzopalladacyclopentadiene intermediates, which are obtained from 2-iodobiphenyls through palladium-catalyzed C-H activation.
