[Ru(VI)(TMP)(NSO2R)2] (SO2R = Ms, Ts, Bs, Cs, Ns; R = p-C6H4OMe, p-C6H4Me, C6H5, p-C6H4Cl, p-C6H4NO2, respectively) and [Ru(VI)(Por)(NTs)2] (Por = 2,6-Cl2TPP, F20-TPP) were prepared by the reactions of [Ru(II)(Por)(CO)] with PhI=NSO2R in CH2Cl2. These complexes exhibit reversible Ru(VI/V) couple with E(1/2) = -0.41 to -0.12 V vs Cp2Fe(+/0) and undergo imido transfer reactions with styrenes, norbornene, cis-cyclooctene, indene, ethylbenzenes, cumene, 9,10-dihydroanthracene, xanthene, cyclohexene, toluene, and tetrahydrofuran to afford aziridines or amides in up to 85% yields. The second-order rate constants (k2) of the aziridination/amidation reactions at 298 K were determined to be (2.6 +/- 0.1) x 10(-5) to 14.4 +/- 0.6 dm3 mol(-1) s(-1), which generally increase with increasing Ru(VI/V) reduction potential of the imido complexes and decreasing C-H bond dissociation energy (BDE) of the hydrocarbons. A linear correlation was observed between log k' (k' is the k2 value divided by the number of reactive hydrogens) and BDE and between log k2 and E(1/2)(Ru(VI/V)); the linearity in the former case supports a H-atom abstraction mechanism. The amidation by [Ru(VI)(TMP)(NNs)2] reverses the thermodynamic reactivity order cumene > ethylbenzene/toluene, with k'(tertiary C-H)/k'(secondary C-H) = 0.2 and k'(tertiary C-H)/k'(primary C-H) = 0.8.
Ruthenium porphyrins constitute an unmatched family of metalloporphyrin that exhibits extraordinary versatility in binding N-donating ligands at the axial sites. [1±5] A wide variety of ruthenium porphyrins featuring axial RuÀN bonds have been prepared, including those bearing amine, [1c, 3a,3b] amido, [3b±d,g] imido, [3a,c±e,g,j] imine, [3h, 4] methyleneamido, [3h] nitrile, [1a, 2] hydrazido, [3f] nitrosoarene, [1b, 3i] nitrosyl, [5] and dinitrogen [1d] axial ligands (Scheme 1, a±j). This makes the lack of [*] Prof.
Treatment of [Cu2(dcpm)2]Y2 (dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane, Y = ClO4-, BF4-, PF6-, CF3SO3-) with refluxing MeOH in the presence of KOH afforded hydride complexes [Cu3(dcpm)3(mu3-H)]Y2 (1) in about 85% yield. Refluxing [Cu2(dcpm)2](PF6)2 with MeOH in the presence of NH3.H2O and air gave a carboxylate complex [Cu2(dcpm)2(O2CCH2OH)]PF6 (2) in 40% yield. All of the complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Cu3 cores in 1 are almost perfectly shielded by the dcpm ligands. Intense photoluminescence was observed for 1 both in the solid state and in solution.
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.
