Reactions
of α- and β-diimine quinoline aldoximes with
Mn(I) and Re(I) tricarbonyl halides afford quinoline oxime complexes.
Both Mn(I) and Re(I) complexes experience severe geometric strain
due to ligand steric interactions: 6-membered metallocycles exhibit
more pronounced distortions than 5-membered ones, consistent with
density functional theory structural analyses. Such distortions likely
also affect reactivity patterns, as evidenced by Re(I)-induced deoximation
of a quinoline variant containing a CF3-ketoxime.
Local proton sources capable of interacting with catalytic intermediates have been shown to affect proton-dependent reactions. Herein we report the synthesis of a Re(diimine)(CO)3Cl catalyst analog containing a trifluoroethanol-appended bipyridine ligand (bpy-CF3OH), and the corresponding methyl-ether (bpy-CF3OMe) to study the role of the pendent proton donor in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. Compared to the parent catalyst, Re(bpy)(CO)3Cl, and Re(bpy-CF3OMe)(CO)3Cl, the alcohol analog revealed additional electrocatalytic features and a 200 mV anodic shift in catalytic onset potential. We also show evidence of proton-coupled electron transfer or hydrogen bond-assisted catalysis in all analogs, detailed by a progressive anodic shift in the main catalytic wave with increasing [H2O] which displays slopes of ~120 mV log[H2O]–1. Multiple catalytic mechanisms appeared to occur simultaneously in all the analogs, and attempts were made to differentiate their dependence on [H2O] and [CO2]. The effect of a local proton source is significant under conditions where [H2O] < 1 M but becomes negligible at high [H2O]. These results suggest that the appended alcohol affects the solvation of the molecule, and may act directly as a proton source or as part of a proton shuttle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
