Halogen photoelimination from dirhodium phosphazane complexes via chloride-bridged intermediates

Abstract: Halogen photoelimination is a critical step in HX-splitting photocatalysis. Herein, we report the photoreduction of a pair of valence-isomeric dirhodium phosphazane complexes, and suggest that a common intermediate is accessed in the photochemistry of both mixed-valent and valence-symmetric complexes. The results of these investigations suggest that halogen photoelimination proceeds by two sequential photochemical reactions: ligand dissociation followed by subsequent halogen elimination.

“…Moreover, the current study provides an impetus for probing the biological properties of other multicenter inorganic complexes, since the same strategy can be used to label diruthenium 28 and dirhenium 29 anticancer compounds. It is worth pointing out that the realization that Rh–Rh bonded compounds can be successfully tagged with light-harvesting units such as bodipy will positively impact other research areas, such as the use of dirhodium compounds as photocatalysts, 30 32 since attaching a moiety with a high molar absorptivity to the dimetal core is expected to improve the efficiency of such catalytic systems.…”

“…Single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the photoproduct confirmed a μ-Cl-Rh 2 geometry for 8 , similar to previously synthesized isocyanide supported Cl-bridged structures. 20 Solution-phase photolysis of trans - 7 in THF also led to the rapid conversion to 8 , as established by monitoring the reaction by UV–vis spectroscopy (Figure 6a).…”
