General considerations of Metallocene Metallocene A metallocene is a compound typically consisting of two cyclopentadienyl − anions (C5H5 , abbreviated Cp) bound to a metal center (M) in the oxidation state II, with the resulting general formula (C5H5)2M. Certain metallocenes and their derivatives exhibit catalytic properties, although metallocenes are rarely used industrially. Cationic group 4 metallocene derivatives related to + [Cp2ZrCH3] catalyze olefin polymerization. Some metallocenes consist of metal plus two cyclooctatetraenide 2− 2− anions (C8H8 , abbreviated cot ), namely the lanthanocenes and the actinocenes (uranocene and others). Metallocenes are a subset of a broader class of compounds called sandwich compounds. In the structure shown below, the two pentagons are the cyclopentadienyl anions with circles inside them indicating they are aromatically stabilized. Here they are shown in a staggered conformation. Figure: General chemical structure of a metallocene compound, where M is a metal cation The first metallocene to be classified was ferrocene, and was discovered simultaneously in 1951 by Kealy and Pauson, and Miller et al. Kealy and Pauson were attempting to synthesize fulvalene through the oxidation of a cyclopentadienyl salt with anhydrous FeCl3 but obtained instead the substance C10H10Fe. At the same time, Miller et al reported the same iron product from a reaction of cyclopentadiene with iron in the presence of aluminum, potassium, or molybdenum oxides. The structure of "C10H10Fe" was determined by Wilkinson et al. and by Fischer et al. These two were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1973 for their work on sandwich compounds, including the structural determination of ferrocene. They determined that the carbon atoms of the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand contributed equally to the bonding and that bonding occurred due to the metal d-orbitals and the π-electrons in the p- orbitals of the Cp ligands. This complex is now known as ferrocene, and the group of transition metal dicyclopentadienyl compounds is known as 5 metallocenes. Metallocenes have the general formula [(η -C5H5)2M]. Fischer et al. first prepared the ferrocene derivatives involving Co and Ni. Often derived from substituted derivatives of cyclopentadienide, metallocenes of many elements have been prepared.[5] One of the very earliest commercial manufacturers of metallocenes was Arapahoe Chemicals in Boulder, Colorado. Definition: The general name metallocene is derived from ferrocene, (C5H5)2Fe or Cp2Fe, systematically named bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II). According to the IUPAC definition, a metallocene contains a transition metal and two cyclopentadienyl ligands coordinated in a sandwich structure, i.e., the two cyclopentadienyl anions are on parallel planes with equal bond lengths and strengths. Using the nomenclature of "hapticity", the equivalent bonding of all 5 carbon atoms of a cyclopentadienyl ring is denoted as η5, pronounced "pentahapto". There are exceptions, such as uranocene, which has two cyclooctatetraene rings sandwiching a uranium atom. In metallocene names, the prefix before the -ocene ending indicates what metallic element is between the Cp groups. For example, in ferrocene, iron(II), ferrous iron is present. In contrast to the more strict definition proposed by IUPAC, which requires a d- block metal and a sandwich structure, the term metallocene and thus the denotation -ocene, is applied in the chemical literature also to non-transition metal compounds, such as barocene (Cp2Ba), or structures where the aromatic rings are not parallel, such as found in manganocene or titanocene dichloride (Cp2TiCl2). Some metallocene complexes of actinides have been reported where there are three cyclopendadienyl ligands for a monometallic complex, all three of them bound η5. Classification: 5 There are many (η -C5H5)–metal complexes and they can be classified by the following formulas: Formula Description 5 [(η -C5H5)2M] Symmetrical, classical 'sandwich' structure 5 [(η -C5H5)2MLx] Bent or tilted Cp rings with additional ligands, L Only one Cp ligand with additional ligands, L ('piano-stool' 5 [(η -C5H5)MLx] structure) Metallocene complexes can also be classified by type: 1. Parallel 2. Multi-decker 3. Half-sandwich compound 4. Bent metallocene or tilted 5. More than two Cp ligands 2. Ferrocene Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C5H5)2. The molecule consists of two cyclopentadienyl rings bound on opposite sides of a central iron atom. Ferrocene is a p-complex in which reactions between the d- orbitals of the Fe2+ metal centre with the p-orbitals of the two planar - cyclopentadienyl ligands (C5H5 ) form the metal-ligand bonds. Hence there is equal bonding of all the carbon atoms in the cyclopentadienyl rings to the central Fe2+ ion. It is an orange solid with a camphor-like odor, that sublimes above room temperature, and is soluble in most organic solvents. Ferrocene shows aromatic properties and is very stable. Figure: Ferrocene [Fe(η-C5H5)2] Synthesis 1. Via Grignard reagent The first reported syntheses of ferrocene were nearly simultaneous. Pauson and Kealy synthesised ferrocene using iron(III) chloride and a Grignard reagent, cyclopentadienyl magnesium bromide. Iron(III) chloride is suspended in anhydrous diethyl ether and added to the Grignard reagent. A redox reaction occurs, forming the cyclopentadienyl radical and iron(II) ions. Dihydrofulvalene is produced by radical-radical recombination while the iron(II) reacts with the Grignard reagent to form ferrocene. Oxidation of dihydrofulvalene to fulvalene with iron(III), the outcome sought by Kealy and Pauson, does not occur. 2. Gas-metal reaction The other early synthesis of ferrocene was by Miller et al., who reacted metallic iron directly with gas-phase cyclopentadiene at elevated temperature. 3. Cracking of dicyclopentadiene 4. An approach using iron pentacarbonyl was also reported. Fe(CO)5 + 2 C5H6(g) → Fe(C5H5)2 + 5 CO(g) + H2(g) 5. Via alkali cyclopentadienide More efficient preparative methods are generally a modification of the original transmetalation sequence using either commercially available sodium cyclopentadienide or freshly cracked cyclopentadiene deprotonated with potassium hydroxide and reacted with anhydrous iron(II) chloride in ethereal solvents. Modern modifications of Pauson and Kealy's original Grignard approach are known: Using sodium cyclopentadienide: 2 NaC5H5 + FeCl2 → Fe(C5H5)2 + 2 NaCl Using freshly-cracked cyclopentadiene: FeCl2·4H2O + 2 C5H6 + 2 KOH → Fe(C5H5)2 + 2 KCl + 6 H2O Using an iron(II) salt with a Grignard reagent: 2 C5H5MgBr + FeCl2 → Fe(C5H5)2 + 2 MgBrCl Even some amine bases (such as diethylamine) can be used for the deprotonation, though the reaction proceeds more slowly than when using stronger bases: 2 C5H6 + 2 (CH3CH2)2NH + FeCl2 → Fe(C5H5)2 + 2 (CH3CH2)2NH2Cl Direct transmetalation can also be used to prepare ferrocene from other metallocenes, such as manganocene: FeCl2 + Mn(C5H5)2 → MnCl2 + Fe(C5H5)2 Reactions 1. With electrophiles Ferrocene undergoes many reactions characteristic of aromatic compounds, enabling the preparation of substituted derivatives. A common undergraduate experiment is the Friedel–Crafts reaction of ferrocene with acetic anhydride (or acetyl chloride) in the presence of phosphoric acid as a catalyst. Under conditions for a Mannich reaction, ferrocene gives N,N- dimethylaminomethylferrocene. Figure: Important reactions of ferrocene with electrophiles and other reagents 2. Synthesis of [Fe(η-C5H5)(η-C6H6)]PF6 Figure: Ligand exchange of ferrocene with benzene 3. Lithiation Ferrocene reacts with butyllithium to give 1,1′-dilithioferrocene, which is a versatile nucleophile. Tert-Butyllithium produces monolithioferrocene. Dilithioferrocene reacts with S8, chlorophosphines, and chlorosilanes. The strained compounds undergo ring-opening polymerization. 4. Protonation of ferrocene allows isolation of [Cp2FeH]PF6. 5. In the presence of aluminium chloride Me2NPCl2 and ferrocene react to give ferrocenyl dichlorophosphine, whereas treatment with phenyldichloro-phosphine under similar conditions forms P,P- diferrocenyl-P-phenyl phosphine. 6. Ferrocene reacts with P4S10 forms a diferrocenyl-dithiadiphosphetane disulfide. 7. Some transformations of dilithioferrocene. 8. The phosphine ligand 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) is prepared from dilithioferrocene. 9. Reaction of [Fe(η-C5H5)(η-C6H6)]PF6 with Nucleophiles The reaction of the iron benzene p-complex with LiAlH4 and LiAlD4, sources of H and D- ions respectively. Arenes, for instance benzene, are more susceptible to attack by electrophiles than nucleophiles. However, associating with a metal often alters the reactivity of organic ligands. Thus, the reactivity of the benzene ligand in the iron p-complex towards the nucleophiles H- and D- is examined. 3. Chrysene Chrysene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula C18H12 that consists of four fused benzene rings. It is a natural constituent of coal tar, from which it was first isolated and characterized.

Consequently, pentanoic acid (valeric acid) has a higher boiling point than methyl butanoate. Here are the actual data: INSTRUCTOR SUPPLEMENTAL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS • CHAPTER 21 2 21.7 (a) The carbonyl absorption of the ester occurs at higher frequency, and only the carboxylic acid has the characteristic strong, broad O—H stretching absorption in 2400–3600 cm–1 region. (d) In N-methylpropanamide, the N-methyl group is a doublet at about d 3. N-Ethylacetamide has no doublet resonances. In N-methylpropanamide, the a-protons are a quartet near d 2.5. In N-ethylacetamide, the a- protons are a singlet at d 2. The NMR spectrum of N-methylpropanamide has no singlets. 21.9 (a) The first ester is more basic because its conjugate acid is stabilized not only by resonance interaction with the ester oxygen, but also by resonance interaction with the double bond; that is, the conjugate acid of the first ester has one more important resonance structure than the conjugate acid of the second.

Organized into topical volumes, the series publishes in depth and critical reviews on all topics concerning structure and bonding. With over 50 years of history, the series has developed from covering theoretical methods for simple molecules to more complex systems. Topics addressed in the series now include the design and engineering of molecular solids such as molecular machines, surfaces, two dimensional materials, metal clusters and supramolecular species based either on complementary hydrogen bonding networks or metal coordination centers in metal-organic framework mate- rials (MOFs). Also of interest is the study of reaction coordinates of organometallic transformations and catalytic processes, and the electronic properties of metal ions involved in important biochemical enzymatic reactions. Volumes on physical and spectroscopic techniques used to provide insights into structural and bonding problems, as well as experimental studies associated with the development of bonding models, reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also relevant for the series. Structure and Bonding is able to contribute to the challenges of communicating the enormous amount of data now produced in contemporary research by producing volumes which summarize important developments in selected areas of current interest and provide the conceptual framework necessary to use and interpret mega- databases.

    MAGICAL POWER OF TRANSITION METALS: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Nobel Lecture, December 8, 2010 by EI-ICHI NEGISHI Herbert C. Brown Laboratories of Chemistry, Purdue University, 560 Oval Drive, West Lafayette, IN 47907-2084, U.S.A. Not long ago, the primary goal of the synthesis of complex natural products and related compounds of biological and medicinal interest was to be able to synthesize them, preferably before anyone else. While this still remains a very important goal, a number of today’s top-notch synthetic chemists must feel and even think that, given ample resources and time, they are capable of synthesizing virtually all natural products and many analogues thereof. Accepting this notion, what would then be the major goals of organic synthesis in the twenty-first century? One thing appears to be unmistakably certain. Namely, we will always need, perhaps increasingly so with time, the uniquely creative field of synthetic organic and organometallic chemistry to prepare both new and existing organic compounds for the benefit and well-being of mankind. It then seems reasonably clear that, in addition to the question of what compounds to synthesize, that of how best to synthesize them will become increasingly important. As some may have said, the primary goal would then shift from aiming to be the first to synthesize a given compound to seeking its ultimately satisfactory or “last synthesis”. If one carefully goes over various aspects of organic synthetic methodology, one would soon note how primitive and limited it had been until rather recently, or perhaps even today. For the sake of argument, we may propose here that the ultimate goal of organic synthesis is “to be able to synthesize any desired and fundamentally synthesizable organic compounds (a) in high yields, (b) efficiently (in as few steps as possible, for example), (c) selectively, preferably all in t98–99% selectivity, (d) economically, and (e) safely, abbreviated hereafter as the y(es)2 manner.” with or without catalyst R1M + R2X R1R2 + MX R1, R2: carbon groups.

Academic Editor: Kouki Matsubara Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 18 June 2019; Published: 21 June 2019 Abstract: A cross-coupling reaction of allylic aryl ethers with arylmagnesium reagents was investigated using β-aminoketonato- and β-diketiminato-based pincer-type nickel(II) complexes as catalysts. An β-aminoketonato nickel(II) complex bearing a diphenylphosphino group as a third donor effectively catalyzed the reaction to afford the target cross-coupled products, allylbenzene derivatives, in high yield. The regioselective reaction of a variety of substituted cinnamyl ethers proceeded to give the corresponding linear products. In contrast, α- and γ-alkyl substituted allylic ethers afforded a mixture of the linear and branched products. These results indicated that the coupling reaction proceeded via a π-allyl nickel intermediate. Keywords: pincer-type nickel(II) complex; cross-coupling; allylic ether 1. Introduction Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are efficient and widely utilized synthetic protocols for constructing carbon–carbon bonds [1]. The reactions of allylic electrophiles with aryl metal reagents provide promising methodologies for the formation of C(sp3)–C(sp2) bonds.

    Organometrallic Chemistry

    CHE 425: ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY SOURCE: OPEN ACCESS FROM INTERNET; Striver and Atkins Inorganic Chemistry Lecturer: Prof. O. G. Adeyemi ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY Definitions: Organometallic compounds are compounds that possess one or more metal-carbon bond. The bond must be “ionic or covalent, localized or delocalized between one or more carbon atoms of an organic group or molecule and a transition, lanthanide, actinide, or main group metal atom.” Organometallic chemistry is often described as a bridge between organic and inorganic chemistry. Organometallic compounds are very important in the chemical industry, as a number of them are used as industrial catalysts and as a route to synthesizing drugs that would not have been possible using purely organic synthetic routes. Coordinative unsaturation is a term used to describe a complex that has one or more open coordination sites where another ligand can be accommodated. Coordinative unsaturation is a very important concept in organotrasition metal chemistry. Hapticity of a ligand is the number of atoms that are directly bonded to the metal centre. Hapticity is denoted with a Greek letter η (eta) and the number of bonds a ligand has with a metal centre is indicated as a superscript, thus η1, η2, η3, ηn for hapticity 1, 2, 3, and n respectively. Bridging ligands are normally preceded by μ, with a subscript to indicate the number of metal centres it bridges, e.g. μ2–CO for a CO that bridges two metal centres. Ambidentate ligands are polydentate ligands that can coordinate to the metal centre through one or more atoms. – – – For example CN can coordinate via C or N; SCN via S or N; NO2 via N or N.

Since then, a number of sandwich and half sandwich complexes were predicted and synthesized. Herein, we have theoretically proposed a series of half-sandwich complexes involving a neutral Be3 ring and transition metal. Quantum chemical calculations have shown that the proposed complexes are quite stable involving high bond dissociation energies. The thermodynamics of their formation is also favorable. The Be3 ring in all cases posses dual aromaticity which has been ascertained based on magnetic as well as topological feature of electron density. Introduction Discovery of the rst sandwich complex (C5H5)2Fe, commonly known as “ferrocene”, drew the attention of the chemistry fraternity in no time [1–3].
