An NHC–Silyl–NHC Pincer Ligand for the Oxidative Addition of C−H, N−H, and O−H Bonds to Cobalt(I) Complexes

Abstract: N-Heterocyclic carbene based pincer ligands bearing a central silyl donor, [CSiC] , have been envisioned as a class of strongly σ-donating ligands that can be used for synthesizing electron-rich transition-metal complexes for the activation of inert bonds. However, this type of pincer ligand and complexes thereof have remained elusive owing to their challenging synthesis. We herein describe the first synthesis of a CSiC pincer ligand scaffold through the coupling of a silyl-NHC chelate with a benzyl-NHC chelat… Show more

“…The structures clearly show the new C−Si and Pt−Si bonds formed, with the bond distance in the latter being almost identical to that in 2.1 a (2.2609(8) and 2.2619(6) Å for 2.2 a and 2.2 b , respectively). The seven‐membered metalacycle is in a boat conformation, as previously observed in cobalt and iron systems reported by Deng . All these compounds are very stable both in solution and in the solid state, even under air.…”

“…Very recently, Deng and co-workers presented another type of cobalt(III) complexes supported by NHC−silyl−NHC ligands. 307 Silyl-functionalized NHCs are thought to have pronounced electron-donating properties. However, the incompatibility of the Lewis acidic silanes with nucleophilic NHC ligands renders the direct synthesis of this type of ligand difficult.…”

“…Pincer-type ligands possess the important features of strong electron-donation and high rigidity, which are useful for the synthesis of reactive transition metal species and also new catalyst design. On the basis of these factors, there is high interest in cobalt complexes supported by NHC-based pincer ligands. , As the representative study in this area, Fout found that the bis­(NHC)-aryl ligand 2,6-bis­( N -arylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene)­phenyl ( Ar CCC-2) was able to support cobalt­(I, II, and III) species that are useful catalysts for the hydro-functionalization of olefins. , As the preparation of the bis­(NHC)-aryl lithium salts from the reactions of the bis­(NHC)­benzene with Bu n Li was unsuccessful, the author developed a one-pot metalation procedure, the reactions of the 1,3-benzene-bridged di­(benzimidazolium) salts [H 3 ( Ar CCC-2)]­Cl 2 with [Co­(N­(SiMe 3 ) 2 ) 2 (py) 2 ], LiN­(SiMe 3 ) 2 , and ClCPh 3 . Using this protocol, the green pincer complexes [( Ar CCC-2)­CoCl 2 (py)] (Ar = Dipp, 138 ; Mes, 139 ) were prepared in high yields (Scheme ).…”

“…In this context, silyl ligands are of particular interest due to their strong σ‐donor ability, which enables them to generate electron‐rich metal sites and concomitantly labilize trans substituents . To date, monoanionic silyl ligands that feature pendant donor groups (Scheme , left) such as phosphine, pyridine, quinoline, olefin, and N ‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) moieties,, have been developed and applied in transition‐metal (TM)‐mediated activation of inert bonds (i.e., H−H, N−H, C−H, N≡N) in catalysis . N‐Heterocyclic silylenes (NHSis), the heavy analogues of NHCs, represent a new type of stronger σ‐donors than NHCs and phosphines that have already been demonstrated to be effective in homogeneous catalysis .…”
