Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract Commercially available substrates for the synthesis of chiral bidentate phosphinothiolate and phosphinothioether ligands are usually limited with low molecular weights. We report the synthesis of two sterically diverse ligands and how their backbones can influence reactivity and coordination geometries. Phosphinothiol ligand 2-(diphenylphosphino)cyclohexanethiol (L*H) has been successfully synthesised using commercially available cyclohexene sulphide and fully characterised. A second chiral bidentate phosphinothiolate ligand 9, 10-ethanoanthracene-2-diphenylphosphino- 1-ethanethiol, 9-10-dihydro, (L 2H) has been synthesised via a seven step process derived from anthracene. A series of phosphinothioether ligands have been synthesised using the phosphinothiolate L JLi and L2K precursors. The series includes thioether moieties containing benzyl (L 1Bn, L 2Bn), 1-methyl naphthalene (L1 1-MN, L 2 1-MN) and 9-methyl anthracene (L^-MAN, L29-MAN). L*H reacts with divalent nickel and palladium to form complexes of general formula M(L * ) 2 (7, M=Ni), ( 8 , M=Pd), [M(L 1)C1] 2 (9. M=Ni) and MCL^MCP (11, M=Pd). We also report the formation of a novel dimer complex using the well researched 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethanethiol (dppet) ligand, [M(dppet)Cl ] 2 (10, M=Pd). We report the first structural characterisation of a nickel phosphinothiolate bis-chelate and dimer complexes. L2H reacts with divalent palladium to produce a number of polymeric complexes; M(L 2 ) 2 (12, M=Pd), M(L 2 S 0 2) 2 (13, M=Pd) M[(L 2 )C1] 2 (14, M=Pd) MCl 2 [Pd(L 2 )2M(H20)Cl2] 2 (15, M=Pd) M[(L 1)C1] 3 (16. M=Pd). Complexes are structurally analysed via their crystallographic data and compared. Complexation of phosphinothioether ligands using divalent nickel and palladium yield the following dihalide complexes M(L 1Bn)Br 2 (17, M=Ni), (18, M=Pd), M (L 1Bn)Cl 2 (19, M=Ni), (20, M=Pd), M(L 11-MN)C12 (21, M=Pd), M(1-MNL 11- MN)C12 (22, M=Pd), M(L 19-MAN)C12 (23, M=Pd). The resulting complexes are structurally compared to similar complexes reported in the literature. We report a similar series of phosphinothioether ligands as previously described using the phosphinothiolate precursor L 2 K. Complexation of these ligands with divalent palladium resulted in the corresponding dichloride complexes Pd(L 2Bn)Cl 2 (24), Pd(L 2 l-M N)Cl2 (26) and Pd(L 29-MAN)Cl2 (28). NMR analysis revealed the complexes were fluxional between conformations and diastereoisomers at room temperature. Variable temperature NMR studies show the relative intensities of the inter-converting species. Finally the series of phosphinothioether ligands were coordinated using iridium cod chloride dimer to form complexes: Ir(L Bn)(cod) (25), Ir(L l-MN)(cod) (27) and Ir(L29-MAN)(cod) (29). 2 DECLARATION This work has not been accepted in substance for any degree and is not being concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree.

    Ligand Rearrangement and Hemilability in Rhodium(I) and Iridium(I) Complexes Bearing Terphenyl Phosphines Juan José Moreno, María Fernández-Espada, Eric Krüger, Joaquín López-Serrano, Jesús Campos,* Ernesto Carmona. Instituto de Investigaciones Químicas (IIQ), Departamento de Química Inorgánica and Centro de Innovación en Química Avanzada (ORFEO-CINQA). Universidad de Sevilla and Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). Avenida Américo Vespucio 49, 41092 Sevilla (Spain). Abstract We describe the synthesis of a series of cationic rhodium(I) and iridium(I) compounds stabilized by sterically demanding phosphines that contain a terphenyl substituent, PMe2Ar’ (Ar’ = 2,6-diarylphenyl radical). Salt metathesis of metal precursors [MCl(COD)(PMe2Ar)] (M = Rh, Ir; COD = cyclooctadiene) with NaBArF (BArF = B(3,5-C6H3(CF3)2)4) results in a series of cationic complexes in which the loss of the chloride ligand is compensated by the appearance of weak π-interactions with one of the flanking aryl rings of the terphenyl substituent. The same experiments carried out with carbonyl compounds [MCl(CO)2(PMe2Ar)] led to the corresponding cationic carbonyl complexes, whose CO-induced rearrangement reactivity has been investigated, both experimentally and computationally. The differences in reactivity between rhodium and iridium complexes, and as a result of varying the sterics of terphenyl phosphines are discussed. Introduction Phosphines are among the most widely used ancillary ligands in coordination and organometallic chemistry, largely due to the possibility of finely modulating their steric and electronic properties in a predictive manner.1 The range of physicochemical properties of transition metal complexes that can be tuned by the judicious choice of a phosphine ligand is exceptional.

  • Investigations Into Dianionic Scopionate Ligands and Their Metal Complexes
    Investigations into dianionic scopionate ligands and their metal complexes by Elizabeth Nicole Cooper B.S., Fort Hays State University, 2017 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Chemistry College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2021 Approved by: Major Professor Peter E. Sues Copyright © Elizabeth Cooper 2021. Abstract Ligand design helps to define reactivity in coordination complexes and organometallic chemistry. Ligand characteristics greatly influence the reactivity of transition metal complexes and simple changes in the steric or electronic properties of a ligand can drastically affect the activity and selectivity of a catalyst. Scorpionate ligands are an easily tunable and display flexible binding modes in that they can act as bidentate or tridentate donors. In literature scorpionate ligands with charged donors are underrepresented and this is an area with great potential to explore and discover new organometallic complexes with novel reactivity. Inspired by scorpionate ligands and phenolate ligands throughout the literature, a set of eight neutral ligands were synthesized and utilized in the generation of metal complexes. These novel ligands were diphenolate ligands with a nitrogen or oxygen containing tail. The steric hinderance of these structures was varied using the ortho substituents on the phenol groups. The various tails also allowed the binding strength of the ligands to be varied. Studies on the activity of the complexes bearing these scorpionate ligands were performed. The effect of the steric size of the ligands as well as binding strength of the tail were investigated.

A brief outline, as well as a time table, of organometallic chemistry is described to better acquaint the reader with the field. Several detailed explanations of catalysis, specifically hydroamination, aryl amination, and Suzuki cross-coupling are presented in a very general context. Finally, basic principles of ligands and their design are outlined, as well as the importance of the research conducted herein. Chapter 2. Twenty-six new α,β-unsaturated β-chloroimines were synthesized from commercially available ketones using the Vilsmeier-Haack reagent, followed by Schiff- base condensation. Each imine was subsequently converted to an α,β-unsaturated 3- iminophosphine through either late-metal catalyzed phosphorus-carbon cross-coupling or via an addition/elimination sequence. Depending on the substituents present on the vinyl ii group, the resultant phosphines were isolated as either E- or Z-diastereomers with successful isolation of predominately single diastereomers for all twenty-seven new phosphines investigated. Chapter 3. Several palladium(II) 3-iminophosphine complexes were synthesized in moderate to high yield.

Modification of the pincer scaffold can be used to tune the electron density at the metal ion and, therefore, the physical and chemical properties. This thesis reports studies of 2,5-di(2- pyridyl)pyrrolide (dpp–) NNN-pincer ligands and their transition and rare-earth metal complexes. Homoleptic complexes were prepared and screened for useful physical (e.g., magnetic or photophysical) or chemical (e.g., redox or reactive) properties. Predictable control of the properties through the substitution of the pyrrolide ring was a particular goal, and was achieved. The critical review of the literature on the chemistry of dpp– ligands and related pyridine-pyrrolide pincers, Chapter 1, concluded that a range of dpp– derivatives with flexible coordination modes was accessible, but with underdeveloped coordination chemistry. – Chapter 2 provides a theoretical quantification (B3LYP-GD3BJ/6-31G** calculations) of the internal stain (∆EL(strain)) that builds when a dpp or related pyridine-pyrrolide pincer ligand binds a metal ion. A relationship was discovered correlating ∆EL(strain) and the change in interatomic separation of the two terminal donor atoms when bound (ρL(coord)) and metal-free (ρL(relax)).
